TOWN OF TIBURON
Subject: H&A Appointment
Diane,
I waited until I had a chance to tell the Commission this evening before letting you know that I will not seek
another term as commissioner for Heritage & Arts. I have truly enjoyed helping the Town to further the arts and
history of the peninsula, and being a part of so many fun and challenging events. I believe that the Town can and
will find new volunteers with fresh ideas to continue the fine work of H & A.
I suspect that I will be continue to be involved with the work of the Commission and projects for the Town in my
capacity as Archivist for The Landmarks Society, so this is just farewell, not goodbye!
Warmest regards,
Dave

2. 3 PALMER COURT: File No. 713109; Tracey Turner, Owner; Site Plan and
Architectural Review for construction of a new single- family dwelling, with a Floor Area
Exception. The project would demolish more than 50% of the existing single - family
dwelling and add three bedrooms and two bathrooms to the upper level and add a new
family room, play room and library to the main level. The project would increase the
floor area of the house by 500 square feet to a total of 4,023 square feet, which is greater
than the 3,487 floor area ratio for this lot. Assessor's Parcel No. 055- 201 -01.

TIBURON D.R.B. MINUTES #20

3. 2 LAS PALMAS WAY: File No. 21311; Cyrus Ansari, Owner; Site Plan and
Architectural Review for construction of additions to an existing single - family dwelling,
with Variances for reduced front yard setback and excess lot coverage. The project would
add a new family room, P/2 bathrooms and a one -car garage to the first floor on the
northern end of the house, and a new concrete wall would be constructed along the
property line facing Las Palmas Way. The project would result in a gross floor area of
2,736 square feet and cover 2,523 square feet (31.5 %) of the site, which exceeds the 30.0%
maximum permitted lot coverage in the R -1 zone. The proposed addition would extend to
within 3 feet, 3 inches of the front property line, which is less than the 15 foot front yard
setback required in the R -1 zone. Assessor's Parcel No. 055- 261 -04.
The applicant is requesting Design Review approval for the construction of additions to an
existing two -story single - family dwelling on property located at 2 Las Palmas Way. The project
would add a new family room, 1 %: bathrooms and 391 square feet of garage space to the first
floor on the northern end of the house. A new 4 to 6 foot tall concrete wall would be constructed
along the front (east) property line facing Las Palmas Way.
The floor area of the house would be increased by 636 square feet, resulting in a total floor area
of 2,736 square feet, with an additional 391 square feet of garage space, which would be 64
square feet less than the floor area ratio for this site. The additions would increase the lot
coverage on the site by 363 square feet to 2,523 square feet (31.5 1/6), which exceeds the 30.0%
maximum permitted lot coverage in the R -1 zone. The applicant has therefore requested a
variance for excess lot coverage.
In addition, the proposal would encroach to within 3 feet, 3 inches of the front property line,
which would be less than the 15 foot front yard setback required in the R -1 zone. Therefore, the
applicant has also requested a variance for reduced front yard setback.
Cyrus Ansari, owner, said that the application proposes to add more living space, consisting of a
family room with a wood burning stove, workshop, bathroom, and a garage. He said that the
architecture would be very much in line with the rest of the house and he felt that this would give
the house a sense of integrity and wholeness. He stated that all of the neighbors supported the
project. He said that he originally wanted a two -door garage, but the Planning Division did not
support that so they changed it to a one -door garage.
The public hearing was opened
Richard Grey said that he is the immediate neighbor and he had no problems with the project. He
suggested that the project would increase the value of the property substantially and be an
improvement to the neighborhood.
Patricia Robinson said that she believed that this would be a vast improvement and she hoped
that the Board would approve the project.
The public hearing was closed.
TIBURON D.R.B. MINUTES #20
12/5/13
Boardmember Kricensky said that this was a reasonable addition and he agreed with staff s
findings for the variances.
Boardmember Tollini agreed with Boardmember Kricensky and stated that after seeing the site
he understood the reasons for the indirect path to Tiburon Boulevard. He said that other options
such as putting the garage on the southern wall would require a larger project scope. He thought
that the setback variance was easy to support due to the fact that there is 13 -18 feet between the
property line and the curb, which is a unique feature of this property and provides a substantial
buffer between the building and the street, even with the variance.
The other Boardmembers all agreed with Boardmember Tollini's and Boardmember Kricensky's
comments.
ACTION: It was M/S (Kricensky/Emberson) that the request for 2 Las Palmas Way is exempt
from the California Environmental Quality Act and to approve the request, subject to the
attached conditions of approval. Vote: 5 -0.
4. 154 ROCK HILL ROAD: File No. 21327; Bruce and Kathleen ScoIIIII, Owners; Site Plan
and Architectural Review for construction of additions to an existing single - family
dwelling, with a Variance for reduced front yard setback. The project would expand the
upper level living room by enclosing an adjacent covered deck and expand the existing
kitchen on the same level. The project would result in a gross floor area of 2,750 square
feet and cover 2,582 square feet (14.8 %) of the site. The proposed addition would extend to
within 20 feet of the front property line, which is less than the 30 foot front yard setback
required in the RO -2 zone. Assessor's Parcel No. 039- 151 -24.
The applicant is requesting Design Review approval for the construction of additions to an
existing two -story single - family dwelling on property located at 154 Rock Hill Road. The project
would expand the upper level living room by enclosing an adjacent covered deck and expand the
existing kitchen on the same level.
The proposal would increase the lot coverage on the site by 129 square feet to a total of 2,582
square feet (14.8 %), which is less than the 15.0% maximum permitted lot coverage in the RO -2
zone. The floor area of the house would be increased by 121 square feet to a total of 2,750 square
feet of living space, which would be less than the 3,748 square foot floor area ratio for this site.
The proposed addition would extend to within 20 feet of the front property line. As a 30 foot
front yard setback is required in the RO -2 zone, a variance is requested for reduced front yard
setback.
Jared Polsky, architect, stated the owners have letters of support from their neighbors. He said
that the project was a fairly straightforward, small addition.
There were no public comments.
TIBURON D.R.B. MINUTES #20
12/5/13
Boardmember Emberson said that she saw no problems with the addition and she supported
staff's findings for the variance.
The other Boardmembers all agreed with Boardmember Emberson's comments.
ACTION: It was M/S (Emberson/Cousins) that the request for 154 Rock Hill Road is exempt
from the California Environmental Quality Act and to approve the request, subject to the
attached conditions of approval. Vote: 5 -0.
Chair Chong recused himself from the following item.
5. 4246 MAIN STREET: File No. 51311; ACV Argo Tiburon L.P., Owner; Site Plan and
Architectural Review for consideration of a sign program for a downtown commercial
building. The project would allow (1) wall sign and multiple window graphic signs for
each tenant and directional signs on the existing commercial building. Assessor's Parcel
No. 059 - 102 -27.
The applicant requests Design Review approval for consideration of a sign program for a
commercial building located on 42 -46 Main Street in downtown Tiburon. The applicant has
proposed a sign program to provide an opportunity for the future tenants to have a variety of
signs on the storefront, including directory signs on all sides of the existing building. The sign
program would create a more uniform look and maintain the simple character of the commercial
building and be consistent with the existing signs along Main Street.
Laurie Winter, designer, said that the proposed sign program was fairly straightforward. She said
that they want to allow tenants to have windows graphics and signs on the buildings. She said
that the larger tenant would be allowed 8 square feet for the building sign, and the smaller tenant
would be allowed 4 square feet and the tenants would be allowed to put their hours of operation
or describe what they sell on the window area.
Boardmember Kricensky asked about the number of signs and the area of each sign, and
Planning Manager Watrous noted that historically this building had been occupied by one, two,
or three tenants. Ms. Winter stated that the program language about two tenants may have been
left in to allow for future uses in proportion with the allowable area.
Boardmember Kricensky asked if approving this program would create a specific sign program
that then would require a tenant to come back for approval if the sign configuration was
different. Assistant Planner O'Malley confirmed that is the case and they would need to come
back to the Planning Division for approval of a different configuration.
Boardmember Emberson asked why they are applying for a sign program. Ms. Winter said that it
would allow for consistency across tenants and better overall branding on the building.
Boardmember Emberson asked for clarification as to how this sign program would achieve
consistency. Ms. Winter stated the two retail tenants facing Main Street would both be required
to mount their sign to the wall and would not be allowed to use blade signs.
TIBURON D.R.B. MINUTES #20
12/5/13
Boardmember Emberson pointed out the sign ordinance states that all signs in a sign program
must be designed in a consistent design theme and she did not see this in the proposed sign
program. Ms. Winter said that they would not design signs for the tenants but rather provide
guidelines for consistency. Assistant Planner O'Malley stated that the sign program was general
and the tenants would have to return for approval for different signs. Planning Manager Watrous
added that the sign program would streamline the process for approval. Ms. Winter noted that the
program includes no illuminated signs and stated that the landlord wants to be sure the tenants
are aware of some items in the sign ordinance when they sign a lease.
Boardmember Kricensky pointed out that the area of the window signs would be a drastic
violation of the sign ordinance. Ms. Winter concurred and said that she had misinterpreted the
ordinance and now understood that the window signage must be included in the total allowable
sign area
Boardmember Emberson noted that the total allowable area for the smaller tenant would actually
be 5 square feet. Planning Manager Watrous acknowledged that establishments with less than 20
feet of frontage are allowed 5 square feet of signage, which would apply to the smaller tenant.
Ms. Winter said that she studied the site quite a bit and felt that people would not see the sign
overhead when strolling down the sidewalk, so they need some pedestrian level signage at eye
level for information about the store, which is the reason they are requesting the window signs.
She said that both the window sign and the building sign speak to different vantage points and
give an identity to the store. She said that they want the signs to be somewhat simple and would
like to encourage modest signs.
Boardmember Kricensky agreed that the window signs are needed at eye level, but believed that
25% of the window area was a lot of allowable signage and if all of the windows had 25%
signage that would be too much. Boardmember Emberson agreed that 25% window signage
would be too much for the Main Street area. Ms. Winter noted that Citrus has two signs,
including a window sign and a blade sign. Boardmember Emberson suggested that it is possible
that their sign was small enough that the combination is within their allowable sign area. Ms.
Winter said that the 25% figure could be lowered.
Boardmember Kricensky asked and confirmed with Ms. Winter that the material of the
directional signage will either be acrylic or aluminum and that there are many sign materials now
on the market. Boardmember Kricensky asked if the vinyl letters would be durable and Ms.
Winter said that they would be more durable than screen printing and weather well, but if they
started to look shabby then they would be replaced.
There were no public comments.
Boardmember Emberson said that a sign program is specifically intended for properties with
multiple establishments or multiple signs for uses with special sign needs. She did not see what
special sign needs are in this location or how this would achieve aesthetic compatibility. She said
that she could not make the findings needed to establish a sign program for the property and
believed that future tenants should come to the Town for individual sign approvals.
TIBURON D.R.B. MINUTES #20
12/5/13
Planning Manager Watrous indicated that a sign permit goes through a staff level approval and
only comes to the Board if it needs a major exception. Boardmember Emberson suggested that
staff be cautious and careful in what they approve so tenants do not have a misconception of the
signage they are allowed to have.
Boardmember Kricensky stated that he believed that the sign program ordinance was written for
a commercial strip shopping center and noted Main Street is different from that. He said that all
the Board would be approving in this application are wall sign designs and locations.
Vice -Chair Cousins did not think that the Board was being asked to approve an increase in the
allowable sign area. Boardmember Emberson said that the entire sign program document was too
broad, whereas the sign ordinance is much more restrictive. She was concerned that the Board
would be approving more signage than what should be allowed in the Main Street area. She felt
that the percentage on the window signs needed to be changed drastically and while she
understood why the owner would like these signs, she felt that the proposal required a total
rewrite.
Boardmember Tollini shared some of Boardmember Emberson's concerns. However, he
believed that the application was clear that it did not include any illuminated signs. He clarified
that each frontage is allowed 1 square foot of sign per 4 feet of frontage. Vice -Chair Cousins
clarified that the guidelines would allow the building to have 8 square feet of sign area for the
larger tenant and 5 square feet of sign area for the smaller tenant. Planning Manager Watrous
noted that consumer information signs, including hours of operation, is exempt from the
allowable area, but additional advertising on the windows does count.
Boardmember Tollini did not see why the Board should deviate from the sign area requirements.
He suggested that 8 square feet would be fine for the larger unit and 5 square feet allowed for the
smaller one, and that window signage must fit within those figures, but there may need to be
some refinement of the percentage of windows that could be covered by signs.
Boardmember Emberson said that the directional signs were fine and suggested specifying that
the directional signs must be in keeping with the character of the downtown area.
Boardmember Kricensky asked if the Board would allow window signs on the side if reduced in
size so the total would still be below 8 square feet. Boardmember Tollini suggested excluding the
two side windows and allowing the 10% coverage on those windows to provide labelling of the
businesses on that side. Boardmember Emberson disagreed and felt that the signs should be more
limited.
Vice -Chair Cousins thought that the 10% coverage for the side windows was reasonable but felt
that the front of the buildings would still be allowed 8 square feet combined for the larger tenant
and 5 square feet combined for the smaller tenant.
TIBURON D.R.B. MINUTES #20
12/5/13
ACTION: It was WS (Tollini/Cousins) that the request for 42 -46 Main Street is exempt from the
California Environmental Quality Act and to approve the request, subject to the attached
conditions of approval, and the following modifications: 1) The total sign area shall not be
greater than 8 square feet maximum combined for 46 Main Street and 5 square feet maximum
combined for 42 Main Street; 2) The window sign area shall be included in these totals and the
windows shown as 25% coverage shall be reduced to 15% of the window area on elevation A; 3)
The window signs on elevation B and D will be allowed an additional 10% window coverage not
to be included in the total sign area; 4) The directional signage shall be in keeping with the
character of downtown. Vote: 3 -1 -1 (Chong recused, Emberson opposed).
Chair Chong rejoined the meeting.
6. 125 BLACKFIELD DRIVE: File No. 21328; Jeff Greenberg, Owner; Site Plan and
Architectural Review for construction of additions to an existing single - family dwelling,
with a Variance for excess lot coverage. The project would add a master bedroom suite
and other exterior alterations to the house, including six new skylights. The project would
result in a gross floor area of 2,200 square feet and cover 2,570 square feet (34.5 %) of the
site, which exceeds the 30.0% maximum permitted lot coverage in the R -1 -B -A zone.
Assessor's Parcel No. 034 - 171 -03.
The applicant is requesting a Site Plan and Architectural Review for construction of additions to
an existing single - family dwelling with a Variance for excess lot coverage on property located at
125 Blackfield Drive in the Bel Aire neighborhood. The property is currently developed with a
1,308 square foot single - family dwelling. The existing home consists of a living room, dining
room, kitchen, three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a single -car garage.
The proposed interior remodel and additions to the single - family dwelling would consist of a
master bedroom suite, family room, living room, dining room, kitchen, three bedrooms, two
bathrooms, laundry room, and a single car garage. Other proposed additions would be six new
skylights on the roof above the kitchen and dining room. As part of the project, a new covered
porch would be located in the front of house which would connect a pathway to the existing
driveway, a new patio in the rear yard in the middle of the proposed addition to provide a
connection between indoor and outdoor living spaces, and new landscaping with a mixture of
trees, plants, and lawn throughout the property.
The proposal would result in a floor area of 2,200 square feet, which is below the maximum
permitted floor area guideline for the property (2,605 square feet). The proposal would result in
lot coverage of 2,570 square feet (34.5 %), which exceeds the maximum 30% permitted in the R-
1 -B -A zone. The applicant has therefore requested a variance for excess lot coverage.
Allen Dadafarin, engineer /architect, said that the houses in this neighborhood are fairly small. He
said that they propose to add a master bedroom and master bathroom. He said that the addition
would be in the back of the house and below the existing roofline and that all of the neighbors
are in favor of the project.
There were no public comments.
TIBURON D.R.B. MINUTES #20
12/5/13
Vice -Chair Cousins said that he visited the site and the space would be more generous than
appears on the plans. He believed that this would be a big improvement.
Boardmember Emberson agreed with Vice -Chair Cousins.
Boardmember Tollini also agreed and said that there are few lot coverage variance requests for
such modest homes. He thought that this site met the hardship finding because a second story
would be very impactful on the neighborhood.
Boardmember Kricensky agreed and thought that this was a good response to this one -story
neighborhood and that it was easy to make the findings for the variance.
Chair Chong agreed that it would be a very modest addition.
ACTION: It was WS (Emberson/Tollini) that the request for 125 Blackfield Drive is exempt
from the California Environmental Quality Act and to approve the request, subject to the
attached conditions of approval. Vote: 5 -0.
F. APPROVAL OF MINUTES #19 OF THE NOVEMBER 21, 2013 DESIGN

III. Finance Reports
A. Review of October FY 2103/14 Cash Report
Andreucci reported that the net result will be close to what was budgeted. The
Year to Date numbers are behind the previous year's Year to Date numbers
because registration opened for Winter FY 2012/13 a few days earlier than in
2013/14 and are recorded in the October report.
IV. Discussion Item
A. Dairy Knoll
Building Update:
Tiburon Report- Jim Fraser: Fraser reported that progress is being
made to complete the final punch list items. All of the major concerns
have been addresses. The landline for the fire alarm is installed and
functional and the emergency push bars are installed on the doors. We
should expect Dairy Knoll to be completed in the very near future.
Path from Reed School to Dairy Knoll - Jerry Riessen: Riessen reported
that he is working with the Town of Tiburon to secure a direct path from
Reed School to Dairy Knoll. He showed a map of the property lines and
pointed out the area we need an easement. The easement must be
granted by either AT &T or Chandler's Gate. A sub - committee including
Riessen, Andreucci and Ibars was appointed to continue in the pursuit of
an easement.
New Building Expenses: We have nearly spent all of the money that was raised
to furnish and equip Dairy Knoll ($135,000). To complete everything on our
wish list we would need to raise an additional $30,000. Andreucci will start the
fund raising campaign again once the building is complete. She believes the
remaining bricks will sell at the Dairy Knoll Open House.
B. Branding Update
The branding effort has started with a fizzle rather than a bang.. Most people in
the community do not know we have changed our name and there is confusion
about Dairy Knoll and The Ranch. The Winter Activity Guide was mailed using
the new branding and new format. There has been positive feedback on the
look and usability of the guide. We will continue to find ways to educate the
community on the new name and building. McCaskill requested a presentation
to the Belvedere Council; Andreucci will schedule Belvedere as well as Tiburon.
C. Metrics
Summer Camps: The Summer Camp chart that was approved last year, showing
five years of camper registrations, has been updated with 2013 numbers. Angel
Island is the clear winner with huge growth over the past 5 years. Campus
Kids /Miwok shows a steady decline in registrations. The remaining three
categories were sporadic. Overall, there has been a steady increase in the total
number of children registered for our summer camps.
Community Events: 2013/14 events are listed with the estimated numbers of
attendees.
Programmable Hours by Location: Andreucci presented a series of charts for
approval. The charts were based on fictional numbers so the committee could
visualize what they would look like if approved. They will show the number of
hours of year -round programming by age (tots, k -5th, 61h-12th, adults) and
location over a five year span. The effort to collect the data is time consuming.
The committee agreed this is the data they want to review each year, so the staff
will continue to tally the data and complete the charts with accurate numbers.

PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE
January 21, 2014
TO: INTERESTED PARTIES
FROM: EXECUTIVE OFFICER / APCO
SUBJECT: PUBLIC HEARING: PROPOSED REGULATION 14,
RULE 1: BAY AREA COMMUTER BENEFITS
PROGRAM
On Wednesday, March 19, 2014, the Board of Directors of the Bay Area Air Quality
Management District will conduct a public hearing to consider adoption of proposed
Regulation 14: Mobile Source Emissions Reduction Measures, Rule 1: Bay Area
Commuter Benefits Program, and also to consider adoption of a CEQA Negative
Declaration. The hearing will be held in the 7th floor Board Room of the District Office,
939 Ellis Street, San Francisco. District Board meetings commence at 9:45 a.m.
California Government Code § 65081 (added by Senate Bill 1339 in 2012) authorizes
the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (Air District) and the Metropolitan
Transportation Commission (MTC) to jointly adopt and implement a Bay Area commuter
benefits ordinance on a pilot basis through the end of year 2016. In response to Senate
Bill 1339, the Air District is proposing adoption of Regulation 14, Rule 1: Mobile Source
Emissions Reduction Measures, Bay Area Commuter Benefits Program. The proposed
rule will serve as the foundation for the Bay Area Commuter Benefits Program
(Program). The primary objective of the Program is to reduce emissions of greenhouse
gases (GHGs) and criteria air pollutants. The Program would accomplish this by
expanding the number of employers who provide commuter benefits to their employees.
The Program would apply to employers with 50 or more full -time employees within the
jurisdiction of the Air District,' based on the total number of full -time employees at all
Bay Area worksites combined. The Program would require these employers to select
one of four commuter benefit options to offer their employees.
• Option 1: Pre -tax option: Allow employees to exclude their transit or vanpooling
costs from taxable wages, consistent with Section 132(f) of the Internal Revenue
Code;
• Option 2: Employer - provided subsidy: A transit or vanpool subsidy to reduce or
cover employees' monthly transit/vanpool costs, to a maximum of $75 per month;
'The District's jurisdiction consists of nine counties, including all of Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, Napa,
San Francisco, San Mateo, and Santa Clara counties, as well as the western portion of Solano County
and the southern portion of Sonoma County. See http://www.arb.ca.gov/app/dislookup/dislookup.php
9.9 ELLIS STRIE.T • SAN FRANCISCO CALIFORNIA 94109 • 41 5.771.6000 • wnvw.baagrnd.gor
• Option 3: Employer - provided transit: a free or low -cost shuttle, vanpool or bus
service, operated by or for the employer; or
• Option 4: An alternative commuter benefit that would be as effective as the other
options in reducing drive -alone commuter trips (and /or vehicle emissions).
In addition to providing one of the commuter benefit options described above,
employers would be required to register by means of a web -based registration process,
designate a contact person, notify employees of the commuter benefit selected,
maintain records to document implementation of the commuter benefit, and provide
information needed for purposes of Program evaluation. If the Air District Board of
Directors adopts the proposed rule and the MTC Commissioners concur with this action,
then employers would have six months from the effective date of the rule to select one
of the commuter benefit options and comply with the requirements of the Program.
Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code § 21000
et seq.), an initial study for the proposed rule has been conducted, concluding that the
proposed rule would not have significant adverse environmental impacts. Notice is
hereby given that the Air District intends to adopt a negative declaration for the
amendments pursuant to Public Resources Code section 21080(c) and California
CEQA Guidelines section 15070 et seq.
The proposed rule (Regulation 14, Rule 1), a staff report, a socio- economic analysis, a
CEQA environmental analysis and draft Negative Declaration are available on the
District website to: http: / /www.baagmd.gov /Divisions /Planning- and - Research /Rule-
Develop m ent/C urrent- Reg u l atory -Pu b l is -H ea rings. aspx.
Comments on the proposed rule, the supporting documents, and the draft Negative
Declaration may be directed to David Burch, Principal Environmental Planner, Bay Area
Air Quality Management District, 939 Ellis Street, San Francisco, California, 94109, or
via e-mail to commuterbenefits @baagmd.gov. Written comments on the regulatory
proposal and Negative Declaration will be accepted until 5:00 p.m. on Friday,
February 21, 2014.
