The following items were removed from the Consent Calendar for discussion :
6. RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING MAYOR AND CITY CLERK TO EXECUTE BELOW MARKET
RATE AGREEMENT RE SPINNAKER POINT UNIT 5 SUBDIVISION (PW) - File 5-1-263
Councilmember Boro questioned the rationale for transferring the Below
Market Rate (BMR) units to another project, and not keeping them within
the project as approved.
Principal Planner Curt Johnston replied that the emphasis the staff
has had in the past is to try to achieve actual development and, presum-
ably, the quickest way would be through development projects. They
felt it would be better to allow the flexibility for the developer
for construction of the BMR units. He added that the provision, basically,
is that if that cannot happen the developer would have to pay their
"in lieu" fees.
Mr. Johnston added that, due to the Priority Projects Procedure the
outcome of the projects is unknown at this time.
Councilmember Boro stated he does not think the City should be interested
in collecting "in lieu" fees, and Vice -Mayor Breiner added that the
Council has the ability to say they do not want the fees, but wants
the units, and she feels this would be the way to go.
City Attorney Ragghianti stated he feels it is important to see what
the actual conditions of approval required when the subdivision was
approved.
Council agreed to continue this item to the next meeting on February
6, 1989, and have staff and the City Attorney study the conditions
of approval for Spinnaker Point Unit 5.

15. PUBLIC HEARING - s87-9 - APPEAL OF PLANNING COMMISSION'S CERTIFICATION
OF A NEGATIVE DECLARATION AND CONDITIONAL APPROVAL FOR A TWO -LOT
SUBDIVISION; HIGHLAND AVENUE AT HUBBELL COURT; AP 15-202-38; KEN MASSA,
OWNER; PERRY LITCHFIELD, ATTORNEY, REP.; MONTECITO NEIGHBORHOOD
ASSOCIATION, APPELLANT, JEFF MULANAX, REP. (Pl) - File 5-1-311 x 10-6
Vice -Mayor Breiner declared the Public Hearing opened.
Principal Planner Johnston briefed the Council, stating that on November
29, 1988 the Planning Commission, on a split vote, approved the proposed
subdivision. He stated that the project involves a lot split and ulti-
mate construction of two homes, and that an exception is proposed
for Lot 2 to the width requirement of the slope ordinance, based on
the lot area being adequate and reasonable access to the property
being involved. Mr. Johnston added that the Montecito Homeowners'
Association has appealed the project based on a number of concerns,
among which are inadequate drainage and soil instability problems,
cumulative impact of the Skaar and Massa projects, and request for
an EIR to be prepared. Mr. Johnston stated that the subdivision is
8.4 acres (36,500 sq. ft.) with the proposed lots 1 and 2 having respec-
tive areas and slopes of 16,500 sq. ft./32% and 20,000 sq. ft./42%.
Because the width of Lot 2 is 130 and the slope ordinance designates
a required 190 for lots over 40% slope, an exception is required.
Mr. Johnston added that together the Massa and Skaar subdivisions
comprise an area of 3.9 acres with the proposed development representing
1.02 units per acre, while the General Plan designation is 2 to 6.5
units per acre. Four structures exist on the top of the hill - the
Skaar residence, garage and studio and a detached rental unit. Combined
there are four homes proposed downslope around the southerly side
of the hillside.
Mr. Johnston stated the Planning Commission determined that the lot
area is sufficient, noting the lot is very deep rather than wide and
that both lots have reasonable access and meet all other requirements
for subdivisions.

Jeff Mulanax, representing the Montecito Homeowners' Association,
read a letter from the Sierra Club and presented copies to the Council.
The letter stated they had concerns about approval of the subdivision
setting a bad precedent, since an exception to San Rafael's slope
ordinance would be required. The letter also indicated that protecting
hillsides should be an important priority throughout Marin County.
Ken Massa, owner and developer of the property, informed the Council
that he has been working on this project for two years, and asked
that the Council deny the appeal. He stated that the Planning Department
staff report has outlined the project and pointed out that he has
complied with all of their requirements after having worked with the
Planning staff which changed throughout the years. He stated that
the impacts on the neighborhood have been seriously considered, and
have been addressed within the conditions of approval. He stated that
many of the concerns of the Montecito Homeowners' group have been
addressed and alleviated through engineering and other corrective
measures. Mr. Massathen gave a brief history of the project, including
his permitting Mr. Skaar to access his proposed subdivision through
Mr. Massa's property. He discussed the aesthetic and design elements
which have been addressed, and stated that the two -lot subdivision
would have much less impact than a large single-family home on the
site.
Rich Gosse of 4 Highland Avenue stated that the five -street intersection
at that location is dangerous and includes a hairpin turn onto the
private driveway. He also expressed concern with the recommendation
for an exception due to the 42% slope of Lot 2, and felt it would
be precedent -setting.
Marianne Shaw, President of the Loch Lomond Homeowners Association
stated that although the proposed project is not in her area she is
concerned because of unstable slopes in the area. She urged careful
study of soils and hydrology, and warned that it would be very costly
to the City if a slope failure occurred.
Clifford Elbinq of the Montecito Homeowners Association informed the
Council that the access road should be a minimum of 25 feet. He cited
the fact that if a truck should break down the road would be blocked
and emergency vehicles could not get around it if it remains at 16
feet width. He also questioned the capacity of the sewers in the area
as well as the water lines, and cited fire hazards as well as the
lack of spark arrestors on the chimneys.
Fielding Greaves then addressed the Council, stating he lives at 20
Eucalyptus Lane, lZ blocks from the proposed site. He stated he agrees
with the two former speakers, and that stability of the slopes is
his main concern.
Peter Desler of 35 Eucalyptus Lane stated there is a tremendous drainage
problem, even with a small storm. He also cited the loss of wildlife,
the five -street intersection with blind corners, and the fact that
children use that route to walk to school.
Ken Philo, 7 Palm Avenue, cited the problem that fire trucks have
in reaching that area, and asked the Council to respond to the residents
who are trying to improve their neighborhood.
David Kupfer of 32 Highland Avenue, stated his mother's property is below the
Massa property and cited that the required street frontage is not
being met. He also expressed concerns about slippage and seepage in
the area.
Norah Contini stated it is a matter of the homes and how they fit
in. She said she lives on Broad View Court and is concerned about
eucalytus trees being cut down. She also asked that a variance not
be granted during development of the Montecito Neighborhood Plan.
Harry Winters of the West End Neighborhood Association addressed the
Council regarding the slope problem, and presented a chart which
he explained, stating that the steeper the slope, the larger the lot
size should be. He urged the Council and staff look toward improving
the slope policy.

SRCC MINUTES (Regular 1/17/89 Page 5
Charles Stuckey addressed the subject of the blind intersection and
stated that while the project meets the density standards, most of
the hill is not buildable. He also stated that during storms the water
runoff is considerable, and is exactly where the proposed Lot 2 residence
would be. He also warned against setting a precedent.
Thelma McCready of 12 Hubbell Court said her main concern is the inter-
section, as did Gil Deane.
Dennis Fishwick expressed concern about the traffic problem, and the
blockage of streets by parked trucks. He .recommended a stop sign for
traffic exiting the private driveway into the intersection.
Harriet Watson of 8 Hubbell Court mentioned the noise factor, and
the fact that the garbage trucks do not go up the private driveway
so that the cans are left at the street entrance. She also cited a
need for an arterial stop exiting onto Highland Avenue.
Mr. Massa then responded to the comments, refuting the concerns regard-
ing drainage and traffic, stating that he has had soils tests and
the engineers have indicated the property is buildable. He stated
that he has no objection to a stop sign; that the drainage problem
will be addressed by a sophisticated system. He pointed out that
the trees which were cut down were on the Skaar property, and he has
hired an arborist so that as many trees as possible will be saved.
Vice -Mayor Breiner closed the Public Hearing.
The Council discussion followed, and Vice -Mayor Breiner asked if there
was nothing in the slope ordinance regarding percentages which indicates
that nothing can be built on a site. Mr. Johnston replied there is
not, but that it is left to interpretation, which is what staff has
done in this case.
Councilmember Boro inquired about the Planning Commission's determina-
tion that the lot area is sufficient, and Mr. Johnston explained that
the combined driveway areas allow for a length of driveway which makes
up for lost room which would be required for Lot 2. He stated that
the driveway serving Lot 2 extends 30 to 40 feet beyond the boundaries
of Lot 2.
Mr. Johnston added that this subdivision meets all of the technical
standards. He noted that in the case of the Skaar proposal staff did
not feel it was appropriate and did not hesitate to recommend denial.
There followed a general discussion of the slope ordinance, and Council -
member Thayer stated she feels the ordinance is very liberal but she
does not feel an exception should be allowed in this case, particularly
in view of the pending Montecito Neighborhood Plan.
Councilmember Thayer moved and Councilmember Boro seconded, to grant
the appeal and overturn the Planning Commission's decision on this
project.
Under discussion, Councilmember Boro mentioned property owners' rights,
and the fact that the applicant has the right to ask for a subdivision
but in this case he is asking for an exception, and there is the degree
of public safety involved. Mr. Boro added that if cars are blocking
that intersection they should be tagged by the Police Department.
Councilmember Frugoli stated that there can be one house built on
that property, and he hopes that at that time the neighbors will meet
with Mr. Massa on the driveway and traffic concerns.

CODE ESTABLISHING REGULATIONS FOR DEDICATION OF LAND, PAYMENT OF FEES,
OR BOTH FOR PARK AND RECREATIONAL PURPOSES (Rec) - File 9-3-65 x 9-3-66
Vice -Mayor Breiner declared the Public Hearing opened.
Recreation Director Sharon McNamee addressed the Council, stating
that the Ordinance includes formulas for areas which should be dedicated
and formulas for fees to be paid in lieu of land, depending on the
subdivision. Ms. McNamee stated that one section which is not included
in this packet but which will be brought back to Council is the develop-
ment of what the cost of a buildable parkland acre is in San Rafael.
They will be looking at several subdivisions throughout the City and
trying to come up with a City-wide average, and will bring that back
to Council in the form of a Resolution.
Councilmember Frugoli noted that this was enacted at State level in
1965 and asked why it is now an Urgency Ordinance.
Ms. McNamee explained that a Recreation Element was enacted first,
and this was done in 1984. It has now been re-evaluated with the General
Plan, which gave it Priority 1.
Patrick Webb, a member of the Park and Recreation Commission, urged
adoption of the Ordinance as presented. He stated that the legislation
is appropriate at this point.
There being no further input, the Public Hearing was closed.
The title of the Urgency Ordinance was read:
"AN URGENCY ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF SAN RAFAEL ADDING CHAPTER 15.38
TO THE SAN RAFAEL MUNICIPAL CODE ESTABLISHING REGULATIONS FOR DEDICATION
OF LAND, PAYMENT OF FEES, OR BOTH, FOR PARK AND RECREATIONAL PURPOSES"

18. REPORT ON SHEEP GRAZING (PW) - File 4-10-158 x 9-3-40 x 13-14.1 x
4-10-212
Public Works Director Bernardi briefed the Council on the results
of the study by Open Space Management Specialist David Amme, which
indicates that the fire hazard is not as great in the grazed areas
SRCC MINUTES (Regular) 1/17/89 Page 6
SRCC MINUTES (Regular) 1/17/89 Page 7
as in areas where no grazing has occurred recently. He stated that
if the open space were allowed to rest one more year the grass seed
produced this year would germinate, assuming normal rains next winter,
and would produce an excellent stand of grass available for grazing
the following year.
Terra Linda resident John Quin -Harkin recommended that the City
re-establish contact with Don Mills, the sheepherder who was first
involved in the grazing program, and to have that requirement as part
of the Council's acceptance of this report.
There was general discussion of the report, following which Councilmember
Frugoli moved and Councilmember Boro seconded, to accept the report
to let open space areas rest one more year, and directed staff to
check with Don Mills regarding the recommendation and whether he would
be available next year.

19. REQUEST FOR AUTHORIZATION FOR INSTALLATION OF A CENTREX TELEPHONE
SYSTEM BY PACIFIC BELL (CM) - File 4-3-211
Councilmember Boro left the meeting, due to potential Conflict of
Interest.
Suzanne Golt, Assistant to the City Manager, gave the Council a back-
ground and summary of the proposal, citing the fact that the outmoded
telephone system needed to be upgraded and that the CENTREX system
could also include a voice -mail type system which offers the potential
for cost and labor savings. Ms. Golt stated that a committee composed
of staff, is seeking Council's approval for the expenditure of up
to $30,000 for the installation of a CENTREX system, and to continue
researching the appropriateness of features such as the voice -mail
system for future Council consideration.
Steve Berryman, employee of TEL PLUS, and a San Rafael resident,
addressed the Council, stating he has done the telephone maintenance
in the City Hall for the past five years, and urged that the City
go to a bid system so the public is better served.
Tim Briqqs, representative of Tel Plus' PBX system, spoke in favor
of his system.
Councilmember Frugoli asked staff why they did not got to bid, consider-
ing the amount of money involved, and Ms. Golt responded that the
Committee had looked at the PBX system versus CENTREX. She stated
that CENTREX rates used to be prohibitive, but they have come down;
also, there have been many complaints during the past six years on
the present system, and the Committee has concluded that a PBX system
is not appropriate at this time.
Vice -Mayor Breiner inquired if other cities using CENTREX have been
contacted for their evaluation, and Ms. Golt responded they have con-
tacted a number of cities and counties, and their response has been
unanimous that it is an excellent system.
Councilmember Frugoli moved and Councilmember Thayer seconded, to
adopt a Resolution authorizing installation of a CENTREX system and
authorizing the expenditure of up to $30,000, with the agreement subject
to approval by the City Attorney.
RESOLUTION NO. 7896 - AUTHORIZING THE SIGNING OF A CONTRACT, LEASE
OR AGREEMENT (With Pacific Bell, to install
a CENTREX System, subject to approval of City
Attorney)

member Frugoli has been involved in developing the Hazardous Waste

document as proposed is acceptable for approval and submittal to the
State.

seconded, to accept the staff report and approve recommendations I,
II and III as listed in the staff report.

other Councilmembers can attend. She stated, however, that if the
Mayor is not available she will arrange to attend.
4. UPDATE - HIGHWAY 101 CORRIDOR ACTION COMMITTEE - File 170
Councilmember Thayer reported on a recent meeting of the Committee,
