REPRESENTED BY THOMAS E. SCHAAL - File 1.0-3
Mayor Bettini declared the public hearings open and the Council heard both matters simultaneously.
Planning Director Herbert G. Hotchner stated that the staff report and the Planning Commission minutes
in connection with this item had been submitted to the Council and displayed a site plan.
Mr. Thomas Schaal, the applicant and appellant addressed the Council stating that under current zoning
the apartment structure could be built on Mission Street which would mean the removal of trees on the
front portion of the property. He presented an alternate plan for increasing the number of units in
the apartment house and not constructing the townhouses on the rear of the property. The Council felt
that only the matter which is being appealed can be considered at this time.
Mr. Carlos R. Freitas spoke in favor of the development.
Mr. Albert Bianchi representing all of the property owners in the Bryn Mawr area who live adjacent to
this project stated that the people he represents have no objection to the development of this property
in accordance with its current zoning. He stated, hoever, that the GPC ordinance adopted by the Council
would not permit the type of use being proposed in this plan.
Mr. George J. Silvestri, Jr. representing the San Rafael Historical Preservation Society stated that this
plan is in violation of the GPC ordinance and that there are more acceptable alternatives to the present
plan.
Mrs. Mary Dekker presented a petition of 1466 signatures protesting the development.

fic using the library if the proposed density is allowed.

RE: PUBLIC HEARING - REZONING SAN PABLO AVENUE FROM "U" UNCLASSIFIED TO PUD -R-1 AND PUD R-3 - MCCARTHY
COMPANY OF NORTHERN CALIFORNIA, OWNER - File 10-3
Mayor Bettini declared both public hearings open and the matters were considered concurrently.
Planning Director, Herbert G. Hotchner advised the Council that they had before them copies of the Plann-
ing Commission minutes and briefed them on the application and the actions of the Planning Commission to
this date.
Mr. Joseph Forest, attorney, representing the Terra Linda Homeowners Association appealing the approval
of the townhouse and apartment complex stressed the mandates in the GPC ordinance and submitted that it
is highly unlikely the use proposed will be consistent with the eventual zoning requirements, and re-
quested the Council to overrule the Planning Commission and grant the appeals.
Mrs. Tina Ferris, Save San Pedro Peninsula Committee stated that she concurs in Mr. Forest's remarks.
Mrs. Patricia Moezzi, 10 Portola Avenue, an appellant in this hearing, appealed the approval on the basis
of the open space element of the Marin Countywide Master Plan which San Rafael has adopted in principle
and the density of housing in the vicinity of the Marin County Civic Center.
Planning Director, H.erb.ert G. Hotchner stated that the environmental impact statement presented by the
Murray -McCormick Environmental group does not constiture an environmental impact report as required by
law.
Andrew James Ring III opposed the development as it would set a precedent for excessive density on hill-
side.
Mr. Albert Bianchi, attorney representing the McCarthy Company of Northern California pointed out that
the plan meets the requirements of the GPC ordinance. He discussed the details of the site plan as dis-
played. He pointed out that landscaping and berms have been planned in order to shield the project from
the exisitng houses in Portola Gardens. Also, that the Countywide Plan shows the area not in open space
but as developed land.
Mr. Don Sandy, architect pointed out the amenities of the design on a site section and photo concept of the
development.
Carl Brown, Executive Director of the Redwood Empire Builders Association stated that this type of housing
is vitally needed in the area to give the working man the housing he can afford to buy.
Joyce Rifkind, Member of the Save San Pedro Peninsula Committee urged the Council to withhold a decision
until the housing element of the new General Plan is adopted.
Mayor Bettini declared the hearing closed.
Motion was made by Councilman Mulryan, seconded by Councilman Miskimen, to grant the appeal.

garding landscaping or traffic and raises more questions that it answers.

to whether or not an environmental impact report is necessary for the first project which has been
approved and where grading has been started and secondly whether or not the report submitted on the new
proposal for development is, in fact, an adequate environmental impact report.
Motion was made by Councilman Mulryan, seconded by Councilman Miskimen, that the applicant not be required
to prepare an environmental impact report on the first project in view of the development in the form
of grading which has been done, but, that having the opinion from our City Attorney that we have to pre-
pare a public environmental impact report, the report be prepared in more detail than it has been to date
with emphasis being on the increase impact, if any, between the first and second reports.

RE: PUBLIC HEARING - LINDENWOOD COURT LANDSLIDE - Glenwood - File 126 x 13-9
Mayor Bettini opened the public hearing, scheduled for the purpose of hearing testimony regarding the
Lindenwood Court Landslide, and to determine whether or not it constitures a public nuisance. He ex-
plained that witnesses would be sworn by the City Clerk and testimony recorded by a court reporter.
City Attorney Fred Robbins, Jr. filed notices of Order to Show Cause Re: Abatement of Public Nuisance
served on the property owner and posted on the property in accordance with Sections 1.16.030 and
1.08.030 of the Municipal Code, as well as the Declaration of Posting and Affidavit of Mailing.
Director of Public Works, Norris M. Rawles, after being sworn by the City Clerk, reported on the action
of the City staff during the course of the mud flow, including their advice to property owners that they
leave their homes and the hiring of a Registered Civil Engineer, Mr. Lyle Lewis of the firm of Harding,
Lawson and Associates, whose report has been made available to the Council. He said since the staff was
aware that it was private property, their interest was in the safety of the people.
Mr. Lyle Edw. Lewis, 18 Madelin Ct., Novato, the soils engineer retained by the City staff, was sworn by
the City Clerk and gave a comprehensive report of his January 18, A.M. inspection of the area where the
landslide occurred about 50 to 60 feet below a fire road, pushing mud and debris and depositing most of
it on Lindenwood Court.
Mr. Peter Hunt, Attorney representing N. Y. Cal Industrial Corp., and Mr. Richard R. Kuhn, Attorney re-
presenting property owners Mr. and Mrs. Kern of 10 Lindenwood Court, were sworn and authorized to cross
examine Mr. Lewis.
In answer to cross examination by City Attorney Robbins, Mr. Hunt and Mr. Kuhn, and the City Council, Mr.
Lewis advised that in his professional opinion the loose topsoil, fill, and the removal of trees when
the power line was put through contributed to the slide and in order to assure no repetition of the
damage which occurred, the loose topsoil and fill would have to be either compacted or removed. He also
believed the one residence at 10 Lindenwood Court to be in singular danger, as well as possibly other
real property and cars parked on the street, should another slide occur; and agreed with the Council's
concern as to the danger of dislodging material in sending heavy equipment up to compact or remove the
loose soil.
Mr. Terrence McGuire, 140 Rollingwood Drive, after being sworn, described the events on the morning of
January 16, 1973 when the major slide occurred. He presented two topographical maps of the area and
pictures taken during the morning for the record. Exhibits "1" and "'A" are topographical maps, Exhibit
"2" is a photograph showing a boulder about six feet in diameter, Exhibit "3" showing how they diverted
the mud and water away from the Kern residence, and Exhibit 114" showing the water and debris coming from
the ravine. Mr. McGuire contended that the owners of the property above should make a definite commit-
ment in writing to alleviate the situation that is a very real prob"lem to the residents.
Mr. Russell Kern, Jr., 10 Lindenwood Court, came forward, was sworn by the City Clerk, and referred to
his letter of March 1, 1973 to the City Council with his suggestions as to what should be done. Mayor
Bettini read the letter for the record. Mr. Kern contended that the drain put in by the developer in
1963 is more than adequate for the water coming down the hill and the damage occurred when it was plugged
by the mud and debris.
Mr. John Thomas Boswell, 11 Lindenwood Court, was sworn, and added to testimony given by Mr. McGuire and
Mr. Kern. He said that, while they were working to divert the water and debris, about 8 to 10 inches of
water was coming through at an approximate rate of 400 to 600 gallons a minute. He felt there is danger
of undermining his property in the event of a future slide and, if the Kern's hous should receive sub-
stantial damage, the full force could be diverted to his house.
Mrs. Janet Kern was sworn by the City Clerk and pointed out a danger to persons, evidenced by a school
bus that picked up children in the area immediately prior to the slide and persons leaving for work.
Mr. Peter Hunt, speaking for his client, N. Y. Cal Industrial Corp., expressed sympathy for the resi-
dents; however, he did not admit legal responsibility, contending there is no nuisance they maintain
and that it is not within the definition of "public nuisance.
Mr. Richard Kuhn, speaking for his client, contended that whether or not N. Y. Cal is responsible for the
problem, the problem is there and there is a potential for great harm both to people and to property.
He though it constitut-es a "public" nuisance as various families and homes are involved.
Since there was no one else wishing to speak, Mayor Bettini declared the public hearing closed.
There was Council discussion as to responsibility for the landslide and the course of action to take.
The matter was continued to the meeting of March 19, 1973, and the attorneys for both parties could sub-
mit legal briefs to the Council by Friday, March 16, 1973•
RE: ACQUISITION OF MONT MARIN PROPERTY - File 2-1 x 13-14.1
Motion by Councilman Miskimen, seconded by Mayor Bettin', and carried unanimously, authorizing the pur-
chase of property owned by Meislin & Glickman and Marin Housing Guild, and advancing funds until assess-
ment funds are received with Mont Marin to pay the interest of 5-3/4% on $163,000 for one month, and that
the Mayor and City Clerk be authorized to sign any and all papers necessary for the completion and ac-
quisition of this purchase.

RE: PUBLIC HEARING - APPEAL OF PLANNING COMMISSION DENIAL FOR A NEW AND USED CAR SALES AND SERVICE
FACILITY PACIFIC CASCADE LAND COMPANY AND CLARENCE A. DE LONG, OWNERS GPC 73- - FILE 10-5
Mayor Bettini reopened the public hearing, previously opened on April 2, 1973 and continued to this meet-
ing.
City Planner Herbert G. Hotchner, stated that the Council has copies of the Planning Commission minutes
and staff recommendation, and the appeal is the result of a unanimous denial of the item by the Planning
Commission. He said that Fireman's Fund, one of the four property owners, has withdrawn approval to in-
clude their parcel as a portion of the site.
The request by Mr. Colin Claxon, representative for Mr. DeLong, that the Council consider his previous
request for continuance to the May 7 meeting, was rejected since the City Code specifies that a decision
must be rendered within sixty days of the filing of an appeal. Mr. Claxon in his presentation pointed
out that the State had condemned the site that has been utiized by Mr. DeLong for 24 years, forcing him
to relocate and that Mr. DeLong is desirous of remaining in San Rafael. Mr. Claxon asked for favorable
consideration of the appeal, contending that this use would have no greater impact than any other business
either traffic -wise or ecologically, and noting additional tax benefits.
Homeowners speaking in favor of the Planning Commission denial were Rita Pearson, 1044D Los Gamos Road,
Robert Smee, Terra Linda Gardens, Constance Johnston, 12 Cloverhill Ct., Cynthia Tibbets, Terra Linda
Gardens, Roger Kruse, 35 Salvador Way, Dick Morris, 1012H Los Gamos Road, Steve Phillips, 10480D Los
Gamos Road, Jim Murphy, San Rafael Manor, and Lucille Herron, 1048B Los Gamos Road. Their opposition to
the use was based on the belief that this use would affect the resale value of their homes, would increase
traffic, is inappropriate to the surrounding uses, and should be relocated in the area of other car lots.
Since there were no further commendts, Mayor Bettini closed the public hearing.
Motion was made by Councilman Miskimen, seconded by Councilman Mulryan, to uphold the Planning Commission
decision of denial
