Tiburon Town Council Resolu~on NO.3375 10-20-99 2 r" EXHIBIT "A" MITIGATION MONITORING PROGRAM MAIN STREET RECONSTRUCTION ACCESSmILITY PROJECT FILE #S 99-07 (LOWER MAIN STREET) The following mitigation measures, listed by topic, are imposed and incorporated as conditions into the project to reduce potentially significant adverse effects of the project to less than significant levels, AESTHETICS AND CULTURAL RESOURCES Mitigation Measure: Mitigation Measure 1 b.1: The following measures will be taken during construction to prevent damage to the original wood siding on four buildings as follows: r-- 32 Main Street: At 32 Main Street there is a 4" high concrete curb between the existing sidewalk level and the I" X 8" wood siding of the building, Where the new sidewalk level does not extend above the height of the concrete curb, new flashing can be installed under the lowest siding board. At the existing entry ramp, the siding is cut on an angle that follows the slope with a 2" wood base trim, At this area, the 2" base trim can be removed and the flashing installed under the lowest siding board. 34 Main Street: The existing condition at 34 Main Street includes a 2" X 4" wood vase element. When the new sidewalk slab and flashing are installed, the original wood base element shall be carefully removed and reinstalled to cover the new flashing. At the entry corners, the historical plinth trim shall also be carefully removed for the installation of the flashing and then reinstalled. Since the sidewalk and entry level will be higher this will require some fine carpentry efforts to rework the trim at both corners. 35 Main Street: The existing condition at 35 Main Street does not have a concrete curb or wood base element. Instead, the wood siding is not flat but beveled in section and the siding extends all the way down to the existing sidewalk leveL The new flashing shall be installed up the wall between the concrete and the wood siding to the bottom of the fifth siding board from the existing sidewalk. This level would have the flashing approximately two inches above the highest point of the new sloping sidewalk. The installation shall slide as far as possible under the bottom of the fifth siding board to create a watertight installation. The fifth board must be gently pried out to create a space for the flashing to be inserted without damage to the historic materiaL Then all of the siding boards above the fifth board and under the windows shall be gently removed for the flashing to be installed, and then each must be replaced in its original position. r-- I r-. 38 Main Street: The existing condition at 38 main Street includes a 2" x 6" wood base element. When the new sidewalk slab and flashing are installed, the original 2" X 6" wood base element, which should be carefully removed prior to construction, be reinstalled to cover the new flashing. The flat and fluted vertical trim elements of the fac;ade will also need to be carefully removed and custom cut at the bottom to follow the new slope, Imolementation Procedure: The Town shall incorporate this mitigation measure into the contract for the reconstruction work.
