The Master Plan incorporates community objectives regarding use, disposition and development of the site and it is the intent of this Master Plan that subsequent actions (i. e. Final Map, Improvement Plans, Design Review) are implemented in accordance with the standards and guidelines presented. LAND USE In summary, the Plan proposes 19 single family residential lots, 1 duplex lot and non-profit public service use of existing and proposed buildings for public and quasi -public uses on Parcel 21 (see Development Plan Sheet 1). Non-profit agencies leasing space at Oakview will have programmatic emphasis on services to Marin's children, youth and their families. Administrative offices will be the primary use of space by these non-profit users. Scheduled periodic tenant Board meetings, training sessions, client services and public service meetings will be permitted. Current tenants include: Marin Child Abuse Prevention Council Youth Leadership Institute • Court Appointed Special Advocates Full Circle Coordinated Youth Services Council Marin Association of Retarded Citizens Volunteer Center Of Marin Marin Council of Agencies The Oakview Nursery School, located on Parcel 21, will provide daycare and preschool education. The maximum number of students shall be 90, hours of operation shall be 7 A. M. to 6 P. M. and the maximum number of employees shall be 10. Any changes to these standards shall require an amendment of the Master Use Permit. PHASING The Master Plan consists of three phases, each of which could be developed separate and apart from the other. Phase 1 consists of Lots 1, 2, and 3. Phase 2 includes Lots 4 through 20. Phase 3 is Lot 21. The development of Phase 2 will include the elimination of buildings D & E (Refer to Development Plan Sheet 1). OAKVIEW MASTER PLAN LOT 21 DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL Page: 2 Lot 21 shall have the potential to develop an additional 5,000 square feet of building. Upon completion of the Master Plan, the total 17,825 square feet of building proposed for the 3.56 acre Lot 21 will result in a Floor Area Ratio of .11 No building shall be allowed on the Open Play Area of Lot 21. TRIP GENERATION The Oakview Master Plan Trip Generation study prepared by Barnard C. Johnson, P.E. Inc. establishes a site historical trip generation of 71. The study determined that the trip generation rates for the project are as follow: Residential Uses: 1 trip/dwelling unit Non-profit Uses: 2.51 trips/1,000 gross square feet of building area The study determines that the Master Plan of 21 residential units and 17,825 square feet of public/quasi-public uses (including the additional 5,000 square feet of new building on Lot 21) will generate 64 trips. The Master Plan allocates 21 of the 71 historic trips to the residential uses and 50 of the historical trips to Lot 21 for public/quasi-public uses which operate in compliance with the Master Plan and Use Permit. PARKING The Master Plan proposes to maintain the existing 33 stall parking lot at the Skyview Terrace entry and provide 7 additional stalls prior to the demolition of the existing parking area off Montevideo Way. The new 27 stall parking lot shall be constructed with the development of additional building on Lot 21. RESIDENTIAL DESIGN STANDARDS The Master Plan will create 19 single family residential lots and 1 duplex lot.

In order to create a somewhat unified streetscape, one canopy tree of a given species (Quercus agrifolia - Coat Live Oak or Celtis sinesis - Chinese Hackberry) must be planted within 8' of the back of sidewalk. These trees will match the trees planted on the north side of Montevideo Way between Lots 10 and 20. Selection of the remaining 15 gallon size tree will be the homeowner's choice. Some options include the following trees that are doing well at existing residences close to the project: - Cedrus deodara - Deodara Cedar - Oleo spp. - Olive ('Swan Hill' or 'Wilson' fruitless varieties recommended) - Pinus muricata or eldarica - Bishop or Mondel Pines - Pinus cerasifera 'Krauter Vesuvius' - Flowering Plum The location of trees should be limited to areas which will not interfere or create a nuisance to neighboring properties upon maturity. No more than 33% of the front yard shall be non -living, non-organic material. Massed shrubbery and large ground cover beds are encouraged along with minimal but usable turf areas.

Homeowners are encouraged to obtain lists from the Marin Municipal Water District. The use of decorative, multi colored gravel or astroturf is not allowed. Gravel mulch shall be earth tone color. Automatic irrigation systems are encouraged to conserve water and ensure proper watering of plant materials. Specific lot landscaping requirements are noted in Specific Lot Design Standards. • Rear Yard Landscaping on Lots 11 - 20: Landscaping along the rear fence line of these lots shall be provided by the builder. In the area between the existing bench where the V -ditch will be located and the top of the slope all pampas grass shall be eradicated, all dead and dying Leylandi Cypruss shall be removed and existing native shrubs and trees shall be preserved. Additional native shrubs and trees to soften the OAKVIEW MASTER PLAN Page: 5 appearance of the new fences and houses shall be planted.

Protect trees from deer with chicken wire cages as required. Planting will be arranged in naturalistic clumps rather than in a linear layout along the fence line. Clumps will be sited primarily at side yard property lines to preserve as much of the viewing windows as possible. Native plants to be irrigated for a minimum of 2 years until established with drip irrigation from individual homeowner yards above. Below the line of the proposed V -ditch all competing shrubs should be removed within the drip lines of existing oak and madrone trees. All pampas grass shall be removed. All housing design shall be subject to design review by the City and must be found in compliance with these standards and compatible with the surrounding neighborhood. Residential design for lots 1 and 6 shall comply with the Hillside Design Guidelines.

The proposed new 27 stall parking lot shall be landscaped to City standards with species compatible with street frontage trees, shrubs and groundcover. Tree species will either be Quercus agrifolia, the Coast Live Oak or Celtis sinensis, the Chinese Hackberry. Landscaping along the Montevideo street frontage shall include canopy trees of 15 gallon size installed at 30' centers, shrubs and groundcover consistent with the plantings specified for the residential lot frontages. SPECIFIC LOT DESIGN STANDARDS In addition to previous applicable standards, the following standards will apply to the specific lots referenced: OAKVIEW MASTER PLAN Page: 6 Lot 3: To reduce noise in living areas of the house, it is recommended that the design of Lot 3 locate a garage along the eastern property line between living areas and the daycare parking lot. The driveway shall be located adjacent to the western property line to provide maximum separation between driveways serving lots 3 and 21. Lots 8 and 9: The standards encourage site plans for lots 8 and 9 to incorporate driveway access from the easement serving lots 4 and 5. The Final Map approval shall incorporate a review of the developer's plans by City staff or Design Review Board to ascertain if access from the easement should be required. Lot 10: The design of the duplex on lot 10 shall provide for two separate vehicle access points to enclosed parking spaces. One of the garage doors shall be approximately perpendicular to the street curb. Lots 15 and 18: Residences on Lots 15 and 18 shall be limited to one level and 22' in height. L= 11 through 20: In addition to previous applicable standards, the following shall apply to lots 11 through 20: • All residential designs for these lots shall be presented at one time for City Design Review approval; Proposed residences shall not exceed an average of 3,000 square feet and shall provide a minimum 20% floor area variance between the largest and smallest residence; • No single residence shall exceed 3,500 square feet including a garage; and • No ground floor coverage of any single residence shall exceed 35% of the flat area of the lot as noted on the Lot Information chart of the Development Plan Sheet 1. The purpose of these standards is to intersperse non -repetitious voids between homes so that an articulated long range view of these homes is provided. Exceptions to these standards may be approved by the Planning Commission, when the applicant has demonstrated that alternative design concepts carry out the intent of these guidelines. OPEN SPACE AND DRAINAGE MAINTENANCE PLAN Open space easements will be recorded in the area south of the 15' Storm Drain Easement on lots 11 through 20 and north of the 240' contour on Lots 4 and 5. Maintenance of these areas will be the responsibility of a Homeowners Association or other responsible entity which has been reviewed and approved by OAKVIEW MASTER PLAN Page: 7 the Planning Director, Public Works Director and City Attorney. Fencing will be prohibited within the open space easement areas. BELOW MARKET RATE HOUSING The Master Plan proposes the construction of 2 on-site residential units on Lot 10. These units would be subject to the same design criteria as the other residential units. The Master Plan provides for the opportunity for these units to be rented or allow for the Final Map for this phase to subdivide Lot 10 into 2 lots for sale.
