STATUS REPORT ON OPEN SPACE LAND MANAGEMENT PLAN (PW) - File 4-10-158 x 9-3-40 x 13-14-1 x 4-10-212 Councilmember Boro inquired about the timing process, and whether the multiple neighborhood meetings will jeopardize the possibility of getting a shepherd. Public Works Director Bernardi responded that meetings are scheduled in December with the Terra Linda residents and the Sun Valley area residents, and their comments will be taken into account when finalizing the Management Plan. He stated that in January a Draft Master Plan will be brought to the Council, and there will still be sufficient time for a sheep herder. He added that Don Mills is lined up, but he says he cannot perform the service for free anymore. As yet, his cost is unknown. Councilmember Boro questioned staff being able to give the neighbors expectations, without a plan, and Mr. Bernardi responded that they will be given the same report which is in tonight's Council packets. Councilmember Boro then asked if the County Task Force has a part in the process, and Mr. Bernardi replied in the affirmative. Councilmember Boro moved and Councilmember Thayer seconded, to accept the staff report.

RESOLUTION APPROVING THE APPLICATION FOR GRANT FUNDS FROM THE STATE COASTAL CONSERVANCY TO COMPLETE A SHORELINE PARK BAND IMPROVEMENT PLAN (Rec) - File 4-10-236 x 9-3-66 Councilmember Thayer inquired how the Shoreline Park Master Plan would be financed. Recreation Director McNamee responded that the Coastal Conservancy has funds, and she anticipates getting more from them later. She stated that there are several State agencies with funds available and they will be looked into as other opportunities arise. Councilmember Thayer said she would like to see the expectations of the Committee realized, and Ms. McNamee pointed out that the private property owners will develop their portions, so the project is only being partly funded by the City. Councilmember Thayer moved and Councilmember Boro seconded, to adopt the Resolution approving the application for grant funds from the State Coastal Conservancy.

PUBLIC HEARING - TS86-4 - APPEAL OF PLANNING COMMISSION'S CONDITIONAL APPROVAL OF TENTATIVE MAP FOR 28 LOT SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL SUBDIVISION - LOCH LOMOND #10; LAS CASAS & INVERNESS DRIVES; ROBERT B. HAM, INC., OWNER; OBERKAMPER & ASSOCIATES, REPRESENTATIVE; MEL CRONER FOR THE LOCH LOMOND HOMEOWNERS' ASSOCIATION, APPELLANT; AP 186-031-02 & 06, 186-520-17 & 18 (Pl) - File 5-1-297 x 10-2 x 10-6 Mayor Mulryan declared the public hearing opened and referred to a letter dated November 20, 1989, received from Mr. Mel Croner of the Loch Lomond Homeowners' Association, requesting that the public hearing be continued to January 15, 1990, since their witness will not be available until that time. Attorney Al Bianchi, representing the applicants, noted that the Planning Director had recommended a postponement to December 4, 1989, in order to have a full Council, and he agrees, but he has not yet seen the request for a further postponement, and he strongly objects to it. He added that this matter has been held over for many months, and if the witness had any additional evidence to submit it should have been presented to the Planning Commission. He stated he believes this is a delaying tactic. He stated that if the Council wishes to grant the continuance to January 15, 1990, it should be conditioned so that what- ever information the appellants intend to present will be submitted with sufficient time before the hearing date so that Mr. Bianchi and his clients may read it. Councilmember Boro stated he understands Mr. Bianchi's frustration, and his point is a valid one. Mr. Boro recommended that any additional information to be presented should be received at least two weeks before the January 15, 1990 hearing date and the appellant should be directed to put in writing what they intend to discuss that evening so the appli- cant will have an opportunity to respond. Councilmember Thayer stated she agrees with Mr. Boro's remarks. Councilmember Boro moved and Councilmember Thayer seconded, to continue the public hearing to January 16, 1990 (January 15h being a Holiday), on the condition that there will be no further continuances and that the Salem -Rice report be put in writing no later than two weeks before the hearing date.

PUBLIC HEARING - GPA89-1; Z89-6 GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT AND REZONING FROM "U" TO P -D (PLANNED DEVELOPMENT) FOR RESOURCE RECOVERY ACTIVITIES; SOUTHERLY OF JACOBY STREET; MARIN SANITARY SERVICE, OWNER; ROBERT EKLUND, AIA, REPRESENTATIVE; AP 18-180-48 & 18-141-03 (Pl) - File 115 x 10-3 Mayor Mulryan declared the public hearing opened. Planning Director Pendoley informed Council that this is the first amendment to San Rafael General Plan 2000, and staff recommends approval. Planning Consultant Dwight Winther then briefed Council on the proposed project, stating that the Planning Commission has recommended City Council approval of proposals by Marin Sanitary Service to grade and conduct outdoor storage land uses on a part of a 73.2 acre parcel, and on a 2.8 acre parcel lying near Jacoby Street. He added that the proposal requires City Council approval of amendments to the General Plan, and approval of a rezoning to a P -D (Planned Development) District, SRCC MINUTES (Regular) 11/20/89 Page 4 SRCC MINUTES (Regular 11/20/89 Page 5 after adoption of a Negative Declaration. Mr. Winther explained that the P -D District rezoning will zone 53.2 acres of the property as "open space" and will allow the generic category of "Industrial" land uses on the remaining 22.8 acres. He added that the specific outdoor recycling land uses to be permitted as "Industrial" uses are those stated in a Use Permit approved by the Planning Commission. Mr. Winther further explained that on a 73.2 acre parcel comprising a portion of San Quent.in Ridge there are four small valleys lying in a line at the toe of the hillside. The two central valleys are to be graded and used for storage of debris containers, compost, and fill materials. A third valley at the western end of the line would not be regraded at this time and its existing parking lot and animal farm are to remain unchanged. Regarding the fourth valley, which is at the eastern end, no grading or change of use are proposed at this time. Mr. Winther added that a separate 2.8 acre parcel lying between the Northwestern Pacific Railroad right-of-way and Highway 101 is to be used for temporary storage of up to ten derelict automobiles and storage of composting material. Mr. Winther added that a Resolution approving a Negative Declaration and General Plan amendment, and an Ordinance approving the rezoning from "U" to "P -D" are the actions required to accomplish this project. Mayor Mulryan noted that the General Plan concerns were mainly regarding traffic, and inquired what effect this project would have on traffic. Mr. Winther responded that there would be no effect, since the operation stops at 4:PM. Councilmember Boro inquired about a possible visual impact of the 2.8 acres where the cars are to be stored, and Mr. Winther replied that the cars will be stacked one -high and the compost will be no higher than ten feet, so there would be no visual impact from the highway. Councilmember Boro stated that his only other concern was about the possibility of light industrial use in the future, since once the zoning is changed it goes with the land. Attorney Al Bianchi representing Marin Sanitary Service responded that the use could still be controlled by Council as it is now. He added that Council could say the use contemplated in the future would not exceed what is permitted at this time. Planning Director Pendoley agreed this could be done, noting that any change from the present use would require a use permit and the City would be put on notice. Councilmember Thayer said she had concerns about the open space, and Mr. Bianchi explained by means of the drawings which areas were involved in the rezoning and which were covered by the easement. Councilmember Thayer then inquired about negotiations for access to the 2.8 acres across the right-of-way, and Mr. Bianchi responded that is still under negotiation. Councilmember Thayer then inquired about the removal of trees because of grading, and Mr. Winther responded that the Planning Commission has required landscaping and hydroseeding to mitigate the tree removal. Mr. Mario Ghilotti inquired, if Marin Sanitary sold to some other entity, would they have to apply for a use permit, and Mayor Mulryan assured him that they would. Mr. Ghilotti said since his office is right across from Marin Recycling he would like to see the green areas retained. Mr. Joe Garbarino, owner of the property, assured Mr. Ghilotti that there will be buffer zones, and that because his trucks come and go at odd hours he does not wish to disturb his neighbors. He added that the cars to be demolished will be stored under lock and key. He then expressed thanks to the Planning staff and Planning Commission for their assistance and cooperation. Mayor Mulryan closed the public hearing. Councilmember Boro moved and Councilmember Thayer seconded, to adopt the Resolution approving a Negative Declaraton and General Plan Amendment.

REPORT ON CERUTTI HOUSE AT 602 "B" STREET (PW) - File 2-7-1 Public Works Director Bernardi briefed Council, stating that as directed, staff had reviewed the timeline for declaring the property surplus and its eventual removal from the site; and also the timeline for a formal bid process to demolish the structure. Mr. Bernardi stated that staff had also met with representatives of Marin Heritage and the Cultural Affairs Commission to explore alternatives to demolition. Mr. Bernardi stated that staff's recommendation is to declare the struc- ture a dangerous building and direct staff to secure three informal bids to demolish it. Mayor Mulryan stated that there had been a request to put a fence around the house to protect it from vandals while the Council makes a decision. He added there was a question as to whether or not the additional parking is needed for that site. Mr. Bernardi responded that the Community Center is very busy with many large events held, and as many as 20 to 23 parking spaces could be placed on the site. Recreation Director McNamee stated that on a weekly basis the Community Center parking lot is filled and she has complaints from neighbors regarding the parking. She noted that the parking lot is also used by people using the tennis courts and ballfield. Lionel Ashcroft, Chairman of Cultural Affairs Commission stated that on "B" Street, from Second Street to Albert Park Lane there are only two residences on that entire frontage. He said he has yet to see the Community Center parking lot filled. Mr. Ashcroft estimated it would take about $70,000 to bring the Cerutti house up to code, and even with the cost of the purchase by the City, with the value of housing on the current market the City could make quite a profit. He added that the cost of tearing the house down and paving for a parking lot would cost about $30,000. He said that relocating the house would not be practical. He recommended having less flower beds in the Community Center parking lot and adding parking by redesigning the lot. He also mentioned that some of the frontage property could be given to the Community Center before sale. Mr. Ashcroft said he would like the Council to not make a decision at this time, but give the Commission and others interested time to discuss it. Ms. McNamee referred to a recommendation by the Park & Recreation Commis- sion urging that the Council take speedy action so that the Albert Park General Plan could be followed and the parking lot be installed. She pointed out the vandalism in the house being a serious matter, with vagrants using it. She said it is boarded up several times a week. SRCC MINUTES (Regular) 11/20/89 Page 6 SRCC MINUTES (Regular 11/20/89 Page 7 Ms. Leslie Simons representing Marin Heritage, said her organization feels the issue is not housing, but that this is one of the few old houses left. She recommended that it could become a part of the Community Center, if it is not used for housing. She stated the matter should be reviewed and consideration given to retaining the building. Mr. Dan Simonsen of the Gerstle Park area, stated that the General Plan calls for retention of the small-town character, and to tear down a structure such as this and pave the area over for a parking lot is not going to accomplish that goal. Councilmember Boro stated he does not feel that City money should be used in preserving the house unless the City is going to sell it. He stated that otherwise he would want that money spent on Falkirk. He stated it is beyond the point of considering moving it, and in light of the comments made this evening he feels it should be looked at again and re-evaluated. He said consideration should be given to whether it should be restored and sold, and whether if there were grant monies could the City sell it. Councilmember Boro moved and Mayor Mulryan seconded, to re-evaluate the Cerutti house as recommended above. Councilmember Thayer, under question, stated she has a problem with the vagrants. She feels the time span should be looked at carefully. Mayor Mulryan asked Mr. Bernardi how long it would take to come up with a feasible alternative, and Mr. Bernardi responded he would have a report by the first meeting in January. He then asked for authority to put up a fence in front. This was added to the motion. Councilmember Boro added that meanwhile he hoped the Park and Recreation Commission will meet with Cultural Affairs and come up with a way to sell or rehabilitate as housing.

DISCUSSION OF ORDINANCE RE EARTHQUAKE HAZARD REDUCTION PROGRAM - UNREIN- FORCED MASONRY BUILDINGS (PW) - File 13-11 x 9-3-40 x 1-6-1 Public Works Director Bernardi referred to his staff report showing the action taken to date, regarding implementation of the State Law. He said the next step is to meet with the property owners and explain the Ordinance and set the public hearing for December 18, 1989. He said the matter will probably take two meetings and, therefore, the Ordinance would not be adopted by January 1, 1990; however, he is certain that will comply with the State Law since the program is going forward. Mr. Gregory Farren informed Council that he has access to State funding for this purpose, and will give the information to Mr. Bernardi. Architect Fred Divine informed Council that he has had seismic work done on the Opera House which he owns. He stated that the staff is doing a fine job on the Ordinance, but he is concerned about the economic issues and the lost revenue while the buildings are down. He noted that the Ordinance is focused on the construction aspect, and he would like the Council to reconsider the process. Mayor Mulryan promised to discuss that aspect. City Manager Nicolai stated that until the specifics are known as to what is required on the buildings, the City will not know the economic impact. Councilmember Boro questioned the timing, and Mr. Bernardi responded that the property owners will be notified bit by bit and the buildings will be divided up into various categories. He stated the owners will have nine months to submit plans, and staff will take three months to review the drawings and issue building permits for the work. Mr. Boro stated it will be difficult to come up with an Ordinance with a time frame unless we have a full assessment. He noted that once an owner is made aware of the problem, if they do not take action they will be liable.

DISCUSSION OF ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OPINION RE BUILDING STANDARDS FOR -FIRE AND PANIC SAFETY (FD) - File 13-5 x 13-1 x 9-3-31 Mayor Mulryan referred to the Attorney General's opinion that when the State preempts on fire safety the local agency cannot make any requirements more stringent. He stated this would include sprinklers and he is very concerned about the opinion, and would like it set aside. In the meantime, staff was instructed to continue business as usual. City Attorney Ragghianti stated he sees no problem with that approach, because the opinions of the Attorney General do not have to be followed. Councilmember Boro moved and Councilmember Thayer seconded, to support Mayor Mulryan's opinion.

WALKING BEATS DURING CHRISTMAS SEASON (PD) - File 9-3-30 Councilmember Boro referred to a memorandum from Captain Krolack regard- ing walking beats during Christmas Season in the downtown area from November 24 through December 30, 1989. He asked Police Chief Ingwersen if this could be monitored with reference to impact, results, types of calls taken or questions asked. He stated he would also like input from Police Department staff and local merchants. He added he would be interested to know if it would have long-term merit and if so, funding could be investigated. Mayor Mulryan added that Council would need a cost analysis. Staff was asked to come back with the information at a future meeting. 2.
