| 00:01:21.89 | Jeffery Luxenberg | Yeah. |
| 00:01:23.95 | Nastassya Saad | Thank you. Yes. |
| 00:01:26.38 | Assistant City Manager | Motion passes. |
| 00:01:27.56 | Nastassya Saad | Thank you. Item number three this evening are for public comments on items that are not on this agenda. Assistant City Manager. |
| 00:01:35.61 | Assistant City Manager | Thank you, Chair. This is the time for the Commission to hear from citizens regarding matters that are not on the agenda, except in limited situations. The law at the state level precludes the Commission from taking action on or engaging in discussions concerning items of business that are not on the agenda. However, the Commission can, of course, refer matters not on the agenda to staff or direct that the subject be agendized at a future meeting. Video or audio public comment participation is gonna be limited to three minutes per speaker unless modified by the chair. If you'd like to make a comment, please submit a speaker card to me and or my colleague to my right. That's Mr. Blair, Associate Planner Blair this evening. If you'd like to make a comment in the Zoom application, please raise your hand and you'll be called upon when it is your time to speak. And for those joining us from a phone, who would also like to raise their hand, press star nine. Thank you. |
| 00:02:29.53 | Assistant City Manager | Gonna look to the chamber first for any interested speakers and raised hands, seeing none. Gonna look to the Zoom application and provide one moment. Going once, going twice, seeing none, back to you chair. |
| 00:02:41.37 | Nastassya Saad | Thank you very much. Item number four are the approval of the Planning Commission minutes. We've got two, so we can go one at a time. Item 4A are the minutes from January 28th. Are there any comments? Or is there a motion? Commissioner Moore? |
| 00:02:58.99 | Fred Moore | On the one section that indicated the planning commission comments followed for discussion for that item, I would suggest we add and suggested alterations, additions, and deletions were recommended. We did go through that proposed ordinance and we made a number of changes, additions and changes. I THINK IT MAY BE BETTER TO EXPAND on the back. one statement rather than just saying comments followed. |
| 00:03:24.78 | Nastassya Saad | Could you start over and call out that section? I just didn't quite hear you at the very beginning. |
| 00:03:32.49 | Fred Moore | I don't have it in front of me here. It's the section that talks about after we had the discussions, after the ordinance was brought up, talked about comments were taken and it said planning comments followed the discussion. And I would just say we add on to that sentence. |
| 00:03:51.76 | Assistant City Manager | So I'm happy to project the minutes just so we can be super clear. Are you referring to the minutes from the 28th or the 14th, Commissioner? 28th. Very good. Let me just pop those up. |
| 00:03:57.94 | Nastassya Saad | 28. Thank you. |
| 00:04:05.68 | Fred Moore | As you're pulling that up, another question I had was, do the chair or the vice chair review that modified ordinance before it was sent to the city council to make sure that the changes we talked about were implemented? |
| 00:04:22.01 | Nastassya Saad | I have not personally. |
| 00:04:24.43 | David Marlatt | No, I have not. I would defer to ACM on that question. |
| 00:04:30.72 | Nastassya Saad | Sure. |
| 00:04:30.98 | Unknown | Thank you. |
| 00:04:31.50 | Assistant City Manager | I won't speak for the commissioners. Was the question directed to commissioners or staff? |
| 00:04:39.87 | Fred Moore | The question was procedurally, we had the ordinance, we made some changes, staff took those comments, made changes, that ordinance is gonna go to the city council. the chair or the vice chair look at what staff changed before it goes to the council to make sure that what goes to the council is what we talked about hearing. |
| 00:05:04.13 | Assistant City Manager | I won't speak for the chair, but my understanding is no. I'm not sure if you're I haven't I'll say it this way I haven't received any direct feedback from the chair related to requests to review Minutes that have been amended at a previous Planning Commission that will be posted at a future council meeting |
| 00:05:25.92 | Fred Moore | It wasn't the minutes, it was actually the ordinance itself. So the ordinance itself came before us. We talked about it. I made a couple of comments, changed some numbering, added some language. The city attorney chimed in, changed some language. So there were modifications. |
| 00:05:41.21 | Assistant City Manager | OK, so you're referring, so, and pardon me, because I am in the context of editing these minutes. So understanding that this is in connection with this request, that the ordinance that you're referring to is the ordinance that was discussed that is on this agenda here that we're looking at. |
| 00:06:03.50 | Fred Moore | That's correct. |
| 00:06:04.55 | Assistant City Manager | Is it this ordinance? |
| 00:06:06.15 | Fred Moore | That's correct. |
| 00:06:07.42 | Assistant City Manager | Very good. |
| 00:06:11.55 | Assistant City Manager | So I'll say the same thing. Yeah. Generally commissioners do not have a re-review opportunity following their provision of recommendation on an item to staff. And we go directly to council. |
| 00:06:29.64 | Fred Moore | Okay, so then that part of the agenda, my suggestion was if you go down a little bit further, After the public hearing was opened, and then stopped, they said planning commission uh, |
| 00:06:46.26 | Fred Moore | down further. |
| 00:06:47.87 | Assistant City Manager | What number on the left side? |
| 00:06:50.19 | Fred Moore | go down further. Right there, Planning Commission comments followed. |
| 00:06:56.27 | Assistant City Manager | 39. |
| 00:06:56.81 | Fred Moore | right there. I would suggest Changing that, planning commissions followed and suggested alterations, comma additions and deletions were recommended, period. That would be my suggested changes to those minutes. |
| 00:07:12.27 | Nastassya Saad | OK, so the intent just to to boost up that sentence. ACM any... Any opposition to that? We'll have a discussion up here, thank you. Not at all. Commissioner Luxembourg, did you want to make a comment or just support that change? |
| 00:07:24.38 | Assistant City Manager | Thank you. |
| 00:07:24.40 | Jeffery Luxenberg | Not at all. |
| 00:07:24.84 | Assistant City Manager | you |
| 00:07:27.47 | Jeffery Luxenberg | No, I would support that change. And just for commissioner's edification, historically when I was chair, staff would make changes to the resolution, send it to the city council. It would get posted at city council, so we would not see that. On the minutes, the chair does sign the minutes. So the minutes do come back to the chair for signature. But the resolutions themselves, we've always presumed the staff has done what was instructed in the language. But not that that should, it can't change. I'm just giving historical perspective. But I have no issue with the change to these minutes. |
| 00:07:28.94 | Nastassya Saad | So. |
| 00:08:09.62 | Nastassya Saad | Thank you very much. Okay, so with, thank you for the clarification as well. With the, did you have any other further edits, Commissioner Moore, for those minutes? No. Okay, great, so with those edits, do we have a motion for the minutes from January 28th with the changes from Commissioner Moore? |
| 00:08:18.59 | Fred Moore | No. |
| 00:08:29.06 | Andrew Junius | So, we were... |
| 00:08:29.44 | Assistant City Manager | Thank you. |
| 00:08:29.49 | Andrew Junius | Thank you. |
| 00:08:29.52 | Assistant City Manager | Thank you. Thank you. |
| 00:08:29.84 | Andrew Junius | Thank you. |
| 00:08:29.86 | Nastassya Saad | Thank you. |
| 00:08:30.13 | Jeffery Luxenberg | you |
| 00:08:30.16 | Assistant City Manager | Thank you. Second. |
| 00:08:30.92 | Nastassya Saad | Thank you assistant city manager. Can we take roll? |
| 00:08:33.92 | Assistant City Manager | Commissioner Junius. Yes. Commissioner Moore. Yes. Commissioner Luxenberg. Yes. Vice Chairman Merlott. |

| 00:08:39.48 | Assistant City Manager | Yes. Sure saw that. |
| 00:08:40.76 | Nastassya Saad | Yes. |
| 00:08:41.37 | Assistant City Manager | Motion. |
| 00:08:41.81 | Nastassya Saad | Thank you. And for item 4B, we have the Planning Commission minutes from the 14th of January. Any commission or more? Mr. Luxembourg? Nobody. Okay, is there a motion? |
| 00:08:54.28 | Andrew Junius | So moved. |
| 00:08:55.56 | Nastassya Saad | Thank you. ACM. |
| 00:08:56.81 | Andrew Junius | Commissioner Junius. |
| 00:08:59.09 | Nastassya Saad | Thank you. |
| 00:09:00.37 | Assistant City Manager | Commissioner Moore. |
| 00:09:01.35 | Fred Moore | Yeah. |
| 00:09:01.43 | Assistant City Manager | Commissioner Luxenberg yes Vice-Chair Merlot yes Cherson |
| 00:09:03.29 | Fred Moore | Yeah. |
| 00:09:06.04 | Assistant City Manager | Thank you. |
| 00:09:06.05 | Nastassya Saad | Yes. Motion passes. Thank you very much. Item five are communications. Assistant City Manager, I'll look to you first to see if there are any communications from staff for the evening. |
| 00:09:06.31 | Assistant City Manager | Motion passes. |
| 00:09:16.32 | Assistant City Manager | Thank you very much, Chair. Yeah, if you will indulge me. I would like to share a brief summary of the City Council's 2026 Strategic Planning Workshop that was held on January 31st of this year. The session was facilitated by Amy Haworth, Council Member for City of Manhattan Beach, and followed a presentation on public comment and, well, multiple presentations, public comment and city finances Regarding the city's mission, vision, and values, the council reviewed Sausalito's existing strategic plan, which runs through 2026, and reached consensus to pursue a new strategic planning process. On the mission and vision, there was no final language adopted. Those decisions were deliberately deferred to the upcoming full strategic planning process. However the council noted that the current mission statement is considered too vague and there was strong interest in language that more explicitly calls out excellent city services, public infrastructure, responsiveness to residents, and a clear acknowledgement of environmental threats such as sea level rise, fire risk, and climate change. resilience. The Council affirmed the existing organizational values which include innovation, transparency, equity, excellence in public service, and responsiveness, and agreed to use them more deliberately in their decision making and budget development processes going forward. Regarding strategic priorities, the dominant theme of the session, I would say, was infrastructure and fiscal capacity. The Council acknowledged a significant infrastructure funding gap covering roads, storm drains, stairs, city facilities, buildings, and climate resilience, and agreed this must be a primary strategic goal for the upcoming year. There were also several revenue and economic development strategies that were surfaced for further study, including a potential ballot measure related to Ordinance 1022 with particular focus on the Marin ship, which currently significantly limits commercial and industrial intensification. Community development agreements were mentioned tied to upz and housing sites in particular specifically around measure K other housing element opportunity sites in the city. Specific tools such as stormwater fees and enhanced infrastructure financing districts that's EIFDs were also discussed as well as a commercial vacancy tax and opportunities in the maritime and waterfront revenue department, including hotel development and more generally broader downtown economic vitality. |
| 00:11:42.34 | Unknown | Yeah. |
| 00:12:08.25 | Assistant City Manager | Downtown revitalization in general, too, was identified as a high priority and a concern, considering the higher levels of vacancy that we've seen along that corridor, with interest in business license tax relief, streamlined permitting, and closer collaboration with the EDAC, PBID, that's the Property Business Improvement District, and the Chamber of Commerce. The council also recognized artificial intelligence as a cross-departmental strategic topic with policies needed around ethics, hiring, operations, and public communications, and assigned a council member to take the lead effort on that. And you know as far as next steps are concerned the agenda setting committee the mayor vice mayor will schedule and dedicate a Two to three hour follow-up session to narrow and prioritize the major strategic items before a broader planning process begins with the goal of integrating that work into the fiscal year 26-27 budget cycle. So I'll certainly continue to monitor these discussions as they may have relevance to future planning commission items, particularly including the Marin ship land use, housing element implementation and downtown design matters. So that concludes my summary. I'm happy to answer any questions from the commission. And I would be remiss if I did not thank our commissioner, Commissioner Moore for being present at that priority setting meeting as well and for providing his comments. So thank you, Commissioner Moore. Thank you, commissioners. |
| 00:13:36.71 | Nastassya Saad | Thank you, Assistant City Manager. That was an epic recap of a very long day that I know occurred. Thank you, Commissioner Moore, for attending. I was unable to attend. Assistant city manager, with such a thorough recap, is it possible to have something, do you expect that something will come out in the currents this week? Because that was really a nice breakdown of a very, heavy meeting so it would be nice for the public to take advantage of that recap that you've provided in some way shape or form |
| 00:14:09.87 | Assistant City Manager | Thank you very much. I wanted to draft this recap special for the commissioners for this meeting as I understand that the clerk and our current staff may be working on a separate publication. So I can certainly collaborate with them, ensure that that's going to occur. What I would say in the near, near term, |
| 00:14:24.99 | Unknown | That would be great. |
| 00:14:31.81 | Assistant City Manager | as far as this week, and by near-near, I mean tomorrow, the Council will actually have a follow-on session. And I believe that session is scheduled for 4 p.m. They intend to continue some of their priority setting discussions. They'll also be reviewing a revised Turney Street floating dock and business revitalization and business partnership RFP. So FYI there, that is the immediate next step. And your comment is appreciated, Chair. |
| 00:15:01.66 | Nastassya Saad | Thank you very much. Let me first turn it to other commissioners. Any feedback, Commissioner Moore, any communications? |
| 00:15:09.98 | Fred Moore | I appreciate the reminder about tomorrow's meeting. I'm not sure that a lot of people are aware of it, so anyone who's listening, it would be another opportunity to come to the city council chambers and participate more in the goal setting for the future. |
| 00:15:28.39 | Nastassya Saad | Thank you very much. Any communication items, Commissioner Luxembourg, |
| 00:15:31.78 | Jeffery Luxenberg | I just want to follow up a couple questions regarding the summary we just heard. One was within regard to the downtown revitalization, the issue we had last time about formula retail, was that discussed at all? |
| 00:15:49.57 | Assistant City Manager | I certainly have had multiple discussions on it, Commissioner, so yes. |
| 00:15:53.81 | Jeffery Luxenberg | Okay. And in regard to the marineship, there was discussion at previous council meetings about a master plan. Did that come up in the, there was a time, there was a resolution they had, gave CD staff some time to produce something in relationship to soliciting for a master plan. Did that come up in the conversation about the marineship because of the relationship? |
| 00:16:18.87 | Assistant City Manager | I would say that it came up indirectly. Okay. |
| 00:16:23.17 | Jeffery Luxenberg | Thank you. That's all I have, Chair. |
| 00:16:25.65 | Nastassya Saad | Thank you, Vice Chair. |
| 00:16:27.69 | David Marlatt | Yes, thank you. I just very quickly, on behalf of the Public Property Conversion to Affordable Housing Task Force, Go task force. I'd just like to remind my fellow commissioners that there are two task force workshops coming up and of course as members of the public and as commissioners they're welcome to attend. That's February 22nd at 11 to two and March 8th, Yeah, March 8th, I believe. March 8th from 11 to 2. And the venue for the February 22nd, I forget, but I think that's been established. |
| 00:17:06.15 | Assistant City Manager | Thank you for the opportunity to kind of clarify those things. So this is actually relatively new news. My understanding is the February 22nd public forum will be held at the Lyce, which is at 100 Ebtide Avenue, with the final room to be determined. The second public forum will be held, and I'm enthusiastic to report this, at the Spinnaker. |
| 00:17:17.86 | Unknown | that one. with, |
| 00:17:22.87 | Unknown | Thank you. |
| 00:17:22.92 | David Marlatt | Thank you. |
| 00:17:23.02 | Unknown | Okay. |
| 00:17:23.24 | David Marlatt | Thank you. |
| 00:17:33.45 | Assistant City Manager | Thank you very much. |
| 00:17:35.29 | Fred Moore | Thank you. Can you clarify where was the first one being held? |
| 00:17:40.03 | Assistant City Manager | This is the Lycée Francais, which is on the MLK park property itself. |
| 00:17:48.42 | Nastassya Saad | He sent 100 Eptide for the address. Thank you very much. |
| 00:17:52.79 | Jeffery Luxenberg | What was this hecka one again? |
| 00:17:54.95 | Nastassya Saad | the spinnaker. |
| 00:17:55.83 | Jeffery Luxenberg | It's been a great. |
| 00:17:58.95 | Nastassya Saad | Thank you. |
| 00:17:58.98 | Assistant City Manager | And that's just east of the downtown. |
| 00:18:04.64 | Nastassya Saad | We appreciate you, Assistant City Manager. Commissioner Junius? Okay. I had the pleasure of sitting with our mayor the other day when we talked about a few items similar to what he had discussed when he came to our last commission hearing about working more closely together. So it's just very high level, but I most likely will tap a few of you which are already in existing working groups. I just made him aware that we have the code update working group with Commissioner Junius and vice chair. and then I made him aware, which my impression was he might not have known, could take advantage of our marineship working group so I do think that we can start to work more closely together there's no joint session on the table right now but we can potentially agendize something down the road. But it was a fruitful discussion. So that's my only communication this evening. With that, I will open up communications for public comment. Assistant City Manager, can you help me with that? |
| 00:19:14.62 | Assistant City Manager | Thank you, Chair, and thank you for your communication. Looking to the chamber for interested speakers. Seeing none. Looking to the Zoom application for raised hands. Seeing none. |
| 00:19:25.57 | Nastassya Saad | Excellent, thank you very much. So we are now moving on to the public hearing section. We have one public hearing for the evening, item 6A. This is 802 Spring Street. It is a tree removal permit. We have our associate planner, Adam Blair, here this evening. Thank you very much for being here, Adam. |
| 00:19:43.42 | Adam Blair | Thank you, Chair. Good evening, commissioners and members of the public. Wait for the slides. |
| 00:19:48.01 | Unknown | Thank you. |
| 00:20:01.62 | Andres Edwards | woman. |
| 00:20:07.89 | Assistant City Manager | Just give me a moment. |
| 00:20:20.04 | Assistant City Manager | All right, go ahead. |
| 00:20:25.33 | Adam Blair | Thank you, Assistant City Manager. I'm Adam Blair, Associate Planner with the Community Development Department. The item before this evening is an application requesting approval of a tree removal permit to facilitate the removal of one protected coast live oak tree located on private property at 802 Spring Street. Next slide. Here's a site map showing 802 Spring Street. Thank you. The lot is approximately 6,000 square feet in size and consists of a duplex structure constructed in about 1960 per Marine County Assessor data. The parcel is identified by assessor parcel number 064-181-12 and is located along a private driveway which extends off of the Spring Street Public Road past 810 Spring Street. I'm not sure why it goes 810 to 802 but. It extends off the public street, And it's one house behind 810. The property is located within the R-2-2.5 two-family residential zoning district and has a general plan land use designation of medium-high density residential. And you can see the location of the tree proposed for removal just below 802 Spring Street. Next slide. So applicant and owner Andres Edwards has applied for a tree removal permit, requesting removal of one protected coast live oak tree. The tree measures about 28 to 30 feet in height and has a diameter breast height measurement of 17.5 inches. An arborist report for this application was prepared by ISA certified arborist Sherry Fabricant with Savitree Consulting Group. The Coast Live Oak is considered a protected tree This also is the municipal code since it has a diameter of breast height measuring four inches or larger. And the request is brought forth due to concerns about the stability of the subject tree and its location nearby existing structures and power lines. You can see it adjacent to the residential structure, and you'll be able to see its location near power lines in the next slide. |
| 00:22:32.12 | Adam Blair | So diving into that Coast Live Oak tree, you could see it located adjacent to those power lines to the right. You could see the canopy's been modified a bit to keep branches away from those power lines. The tree was reported to be in fair condition by the arborist with vigorous growth and an asymmetrical and unbalanced canopy noted. The arborist noted that there was some soil erosion around the subject tree. It has a bit of a downhill slope, and the soil is a little light, kind of on the lower side going towards the end of the driveway there. Impact target if the tree were to fail, include the main residence of 802 Spring Street if it falls to the left, existing retaining wall structures which are located directly adjacent to the tree. or adjacent power lines if it falls to the right. The arborist note in the report noted that repetitive invasive management, including root zone modification, pruning and erosion control would be necessary for continued retention of this tree. and ultimately recommended that the tree be removed to minimize risk to adjacent structures. and soil integrity while reducing long-term maintenance burden for the owner. Next slide. |
| 00:23:44.65 | Adam Blair | So staff recommends approval of the tree removal permit applications since staff finds that the tree removal is consistent with the required findings outlined in the Salceleta Municipal Code in Title 11. Staff finds the tree removal would ensure good professional practices of forestry while addressing potential hazard to property. As noted earlier, continued retention of the subject tree would require invasive management. and the retention of the subject tree will continue to contribute to the current deterioration of the downhill slope of that portion of the property. Staff finds that the tree removal will not significantly affect neighboring vegetation, drainage, or land stability. In alignment with the recommendation of the arborist for the removal, staff recommends that the stump of the subject tree be cut flush with grade and limited to shallow grinding as opposed to being removed since the stump serves to retain a lot of that slope on that portion of the property. This will ensure the long-term stability of the site, particularly that slope. Finally, staff finds that none of the findings of denial outlined in Municipal Code section 11.12.030, subsection B3 can be made. staff finds that the subject tree is not able to be altered in a manner which would mitigate the long term impacts that the tree poses to the existing residents, power lines, adjacent retaining wall structures, and to the site itself. Next slide. So as iterated earlier, staff recommends the Planning Commission approve application 2025-00227, authorizing the removal of one protected Coast Live Oak Tree at 802 Spring Street. and adopt the attached draft resolution approving the requested tree removal permit. Staff finds the proposed project is in conformance with the criteria listed in Salcelito Municipal Code Section 11.12.030, subsection B1 through 3. With that, that concludes my presentation. Happy to answer any questions. |
| 00:25:44.79 | Nastassya Saad | Thank you very much, Adam. Are there any questions for staff? Mission Amour? |
| 00:25:51.55 | Fred Moore | On the application for the removal, what was the reason given for the request to remove |
| 00:25:58.03 | Adam Blair | The request did not pertain to views. It was simply due to the state of the tree, the soil around the tree, and then also the risk for adjacent structures such as the house and the power lines. |
| 00:26:12.16 | Jeffery Luxenberg | Thank you. |
| 00:26:12.53 | Nastassya Saad | No further questions for you. Thank you, Commissioner Luxenberg. |
| 00:26:15.53 | Jeffery Luxenberg | No question. |
| 00:26:17.44 | Nastassya Saad | Vice Chair? Thank you. |
| 00:26:19.35 | David Marlatt | Thank you. |
| 00:26:19.40 | Nastassya Saad | Thank you. |
| 00:26:19.51 | David Marlatt | the question. |
| 00:26:19.94 | Nastassya Saad | Oh, can we should? |
| 00:26:20.95 | David Marlatt | No. Yeah, thank you, Adam. Just had a couple questions, and maybe we can pull up just one of the photos. It doesn't probably matter which one. You mentioned that the tree endangers a retaining wall. Can you point out the retaining wall? |
| 00:26:38.52 | Adam Blair | Sure, one of the photos and slides sort of shows it. In the Arborist Report, they had a better close-up photo |
| 00:26:39.76 | David Marlatt | with photos and slides. |
| 00:26:46.28 | Adam Blair | You can see a retaining wall just behind the tree. It's a little hard. Maybe here you could see it. There's some small retaining wall structures directly behind it, and there's a smaller one that goes just past |
| 00:26:57.23 | David Marlatt | Yeah, I don't think that meets a common definition of retaining. Can you also just help me understand how does the tree's presence contribute to destabilizing the soil? |
| 00:27:10.04 | Adam Blair | The way it currently sits and with the root growth, the arborist just noted that it's been slowly deteriorating the condition of the soil around the tree. I guess soil has been coming up and coming down, and so in order for the tree to stay in place, they would recommend extensive root modification just to mitigate the amount of effects that the routes have been having on the site. And that, again, kind of ties into if the tree were approved to be removed, they would want that stump retained since that stump is holding a lot of that dirt up. that. |
| 00:27:43.15 | David Marlatt | So the stump is holding the dirt up, but cutting the tree is necessary. So the stump is holding. |
| 00:27:49.02 | Adam Blair | So the stump is holding the dirt up, and then the roots hold the dirt up, but also extensive root growth is contributing to some degradation of the site. So hypothetically, they recommend, if the tree were to stay, you would just modify some of the roots to mitigate uplifting of dirt, especially adjacent to the property. |
| 00:27:58.91 | Unknown | Hypothetically, they recommend |
| 00:28:10.45 | David Marlatt | My last question is regarding the potential for the tree to damage the uphill house. The tree I noted in this report was about 8 feet from the house. And the tree is about 22 to 30 feet tall. |
| 00:28:23.90 | Adam Blair | It's about 28 to 30 feet tall. |
| 00:28:25.35 | David Marlatt | Thank you. Did you look at yourself at, if a tree that's 30 feet tall that's 8 feet away, what danger it would pose to a building uphill? |
| 00:28:33.99 | Adam Blair | when I visited the site. |
| 00:28:35.49 | David Marlatt | No, just the geometry. Just a little diagram. Would the tree fall on that building? |
| 00:28:42.63 | Adam Blair | From my recollection, visiting the site. I mean, if it fell at a certain angle, it's likely possible. I don't know the extent to how the roots have grown, so I can't state for certain if maybe the way the roots have grown, it would be prone to falling one direction versus another. |
| 00:28:43.73 | David Marlatt | Visiting the city. |
| 00:28:58.19 | David Marlatt | Right, but even damaging the house. But it's okay. I just didn't know if you did any kind of a study or analysis to see whether the tree would actually get above the second floor window when it fell. but maybe the owner will have something to say about that Okay, no other questions, thank you. |
| 00:29:14.86 | Nastassya Saad | Thank you very much. I don't have any questions, Adam. Thank you very much. With this, we will bring up the applicant for a presentation, if you wish. Thank you very much for being here. You'll have 15 minutes. If you could state your name and address for the record, and we'll go ahead and keep time. And if we need to stop you, we will. It won't count against your time, but you're free to use some after rebuttal at the end of public comment. |
| 00:29:41.12 | Andres Edwards | Sure. Thank you, commissioners. My name is Andres Edwards, and I live at 802 Spring Street, apartment B, which is the upper second apartment, top floor of this apartment. It's off of Spring Street. It's actually called a private driveway because it's this bizarre thing where the house is at 810. Then I'm at 802, and then there's several buildings above me, 804, 806, 808. These are all duplexes. So there's two units in each one. So the real issue with this tree is you were talking, Commissioner Marlott, about, you know, what is the danger to the property? It's not, it's, yes, the tree could fall on it, but it's really the root growth. I just had some seismic retrofit work done. finished up a few weeks ago, and they discovered a crack already, two cracks actually, in my foundation. When the arborist came to my property, she said, you know, if this is going to grow twice as large, you're going to have some real issues in your foundation, and you already have some. There's also a pathway that goes up behind my building, so it's disrupting that. There's also the driveway that goes to all the other buildings, so it's uprooting that. And my neighbor is the other. I mean, when Brian and I talked about it, unfortunately he couldn't be here. He's the house below me at 810. And The tree is between our properties, about eight feet from my foundation. another 8 to 10 feet from his garage, so he's also concerned about the tree as well. That's why he sent an email, which you all have, that supports the tree removal. And there's the PG&E lines as well, but that's a maintenance thing. I wanted to talk to you about a couple of other things. I learned from Brian about, I mean, from Adam about the the wave fee, the $1,250, I guess, involved with that. I'd like to share with the commissioners what I've spent to date, if I have a handout with the costs |
| 00:31:48.73 | Nastassya Saad | Would you mind just discussing it for the public record through the microphone? Thank you. |
| 00:31:52.53 | Andres Edwards | Sure. |
| 00:31:52.98 | Nastassya Saad | THE FAMILY IS |
| 00:31:53.05 | Andres Edwards | Thank you. Um, so... The costs to date have been including the tree removal fee, $4,195. And if I had the... it would come to $5,295 for this tree, including all the city costs and the arborist report and all of that. I am hoping that if the tree removal is approved, that there's a way to either mitigate that $1,250 fee for just removing the cost. It's actually higher than the cost for cutting the tree, which is $1,100. And if not, if there needs to be a cost there, if there's any way that I could maybe donate some money towards a tree that could be planted elsewhere, not on my property. My property, the backside of it is very shaded, and it's very steep and sloped. And there's no real suitable place to plant another tree there, And that's mentioned in the Arborist Report. So my hope is that if another tree needs to be planted, that I'm able to work with the city to have it planted elsewhere. um, The other thing about the retaining wall that you guys mentioned is there's a retaining wall that runs up the road in that photo The photograph did not show the retaining wall that goes, that divides my property with my neighbor's property. That's the retaining wall that the tree has an impact on. because it's right above that. |
| 00:33:38.11 | Unknown | Oh. |
| 00:33:38.25 | Nastassya Saad | You have plenty of time. It's up to you. You've got 11 minutes left. If you wish to pause, we can stop and we can ask questions. |
| 00:33:49.30 | Andres Edwards | Yeah, feel free to ask questions and maybe we'll cover everything else. I don't know what else they... |
| 00:33:53.00 | Nastassya Saad | Sure. |
| 00:33:53.27 | Unknown | Thank you. |
| 00:33:53.28 | Nastassya Saad | Thank you. Thank you. Why don't we stop the clock? Thank you. 10 minutes and 48 seconds, which you'll have remaining after public comment to use. But for right now, let me go ahead and open it up to the commission. Commissioner Luxembourg, do you have any questions for the applicant? |
| 00:34:06.14 | Jeffery Luxenberg | I do. I'm wondering if the commission will allow us to, because I wasn't following the numbers, if we could just let them submit the piece of paper which could go into the record. Sure. So you can provide us with the |
| 00:34:21.67 | Andres Edwards | I did. I gave a copy to Adam. He has an email with it. |
| 00:34:25.87 | Jeffery Luxenberg | Is there only one copy there? But I have hard copies for all of you now. Yeah, yeah. Sure, okay. Yes, please. The commission is just going to allow you to submit those to us. |
| 00:34:27.44 | Andres Edwards | But I have hard copies for all of you now. |
| 00:34:38.37 | Jeffery Luxenberg | Can I ask the MTV, I mean the Marin TV people, what is this microphone seems, last week we had a different mic and this one just seems very loud. Is it very loud? Yes. Yes. Is there a way to turn it down? |
| 00:35:00.36 | Jeffery Luxenberg | Will it do it for the room as well as the TV? |
| 00:35:06.86 | Jeffery Luxenberg | OK. Yeah, it just seems very long. |
| 00:35:08.90 | Nastassya Saad | Just one second before you start, Commissioner Luxembourg. Adam, can we make sure that this tree removal cost is part of the packet? I don't believe I saw it in the packet, just for the sake of public record. Thank you very much. Go ahead, Commissioner Luxberg. |
| 00:35:26.33 | Jeffery Luxenberg | Okay, I'm just reading this here. What is the Sausalito planning retention? What's the $38? |
| 00:35:37.08 | Andres Edwards | Maybe Adam can answer that. That's all the receipt said. I have no idea what that is. Thanks for the question. |
| 00:35:42.94 | Adam Blair | That's one of the review fees that's paid when an applicant files for most planning applications. It's just a standard fee. |
| 00:35:51.58 | Jeffery Luxenberg | Okay, and since you're answering these questions, the public noticing is just the notice fee that we charge. And then the permit is the permit fee. So these were submitted to community development. Correct. And then there's a fee for DPW to review. That's that one. And then the arborist report, I understand that. A façalino tree removal fee, that's included in the resolution. And then $1,100 for the cost to remove the tree. That's the estimate I got. That hasn't happened yet. Not yet, no. Okay, no, I realize that. Okay, those are my questions, thank you. I'll come back to the chair. |
| 00:36:04.30 | Unknown | Correct. |
| 00:36:04.72 | Adam Blair | Thank you. |
| 00:36:26.93 | Andres Edwards | That's the estimate I got. Not yet. |
| 00:36:35.69 | Nastassya Saad | Thank you. Commissioner Junius. No questions. Commissioner Moore? |
| 00:36:40.40 | Fred Moore | Quick question, you mentioned that you're in 802B. So is this a condominium project you live in? |
| 00:36:47.11 | Andres Edwards | Yeah, I own the duplex. I have tenants below me. |
| 00:36:51.04 | Fred Moore | Oh, you own both A and B? Yeah. |
| 00:36:51.89 | Andres Edwards | A and B. I do. |
| 00:36:53.63 | Fred Moore | Thank you. It indicated in the Arborist Report that there was damage to the retaining wall. And the pictures that I'm looking at looks like there's a one or two board on your property line between you and 810, and a good portion of that wall ends kind of right before it gets to the tree, and I don't see any uprooting or damage to that wood retaining wall. So is there some other pictures that you had submitted that would show it's been damaged? |
| 00:37:30.87 | Andres Edwards | you know, I don't have the photos of it. I wish Brian was here, my neighbor. He was actually probably gonna have to replace or fix that retaining wall. It goes all the way back on his property. It's hard to tell. It's really hard to tell from the photos. But it's not just that retaining wall. It's also, there's a pathway. See the pathway that goes to the left of the tree? |
| 00:37:57.31 | Fred Moore | Yeah. Thank you. Thank you. And I don't see any root uprooting that pathway either. |
| 00:37:58.75 | Andres Edwards | And I don't see any. Well, it is, but also, thinking ahead, this thing is going to get twice, three times as big, right? It's going to get huge. That's what the arborist said. It's going to become a real, real issue, and it's already shown some. It's hard to prove exactly the damage that's happened to foundation, but it's there because the seismic retrofit showed a crack. There's several cracks, one bigger one, right on the foundation of the building there. And the arborist said to me that, It doesn't look good looking forward. |
| 00:38:33.63 | Fred Moore | Thank you. So there's a report that you got from the seismic group. Did they say the crack is related to a root from the tree going eight feet towards the house? |
| 00:38:40.93 | Andres Edwards | They said it's a concern. It's really hard to prove these things. You have to kind of get in there and start doing the science of the roots and all of it. But it's definitely a concern. And when I had that done, they said, look, you've got You've got a crack already, and they put a metal brace inside. Supposedly it helps some, but I'm concerned that more and more could come if, as the tree roots get bigger. |
| 00:39:11.21 | Fred Moore | Again, just looking at the pictures that are provided in the reports, it's not immediately evident that the roots are going eight feet from the tree toward the house. So I understand what your retrofit people said, but my understanding that wasn't submitted with your application or the staff report. |
| 00:39:26.92 | Unknown | Well, did you? |
| 00:39:30.63 | Fred Moore | And what you're telling, what I understand your answer was, is that they didn't say specifically that that crack was caused by roots from that tree. |
| 00:39:40.70 | Andres Edwards | No, no. And the arborist mentioned to me that they're not They do not describe or get into the details of the impact of a tree as related to infrastructure or a home or a building. They just don't get into that area. She said they can't. And that's why it's really hard to, you know, they can say it to me verbally, but they can't write it. They don't write about that stuff because they're not allowed to. |
| 00:40:09.59 | Fred Moore | Since you've owned the property, have you trimmed this tree? |
| 00:40:13.91 | Andres Edwards | No, I've owned it almost a year, a year in March. Right. I will have been the owner then. Actually, correction, there was a small limb that was pruned. It was pruned minimally just because it was over my neighbor's garage at the time. But it's a minor trim that was done. |
| 00:40:38.77 | Fred Moore | And I know the resurfacing just reoccurred from that tree up the street, was recently done. |
| 00:40:43.33 | Andres Edwards | recently done? Yeah, I paved my section. It's interesting. The way the duplexes work is that the owners own, from their building across the driveway and about 10 feet up. It's a really steep hill. And so each person is responsible for their section of the driveway. And when I bought the building, my section, in other words, my section of the driveway and the carport was in really, really, really bad shape. And the routes definitely were having an impact on that. And I was able to |
| 00:41:11.21 | Fred Moore | Looking at the pictures, it doesn't look like the roots are uprooting any portion of that driveway adjacent to the tree. |
| 00:41:19.32 | Andres Edwards | I think the pictures Well, that's the new driveway, right? |
| 00:41:24.99 | Fred Moore | Oh, this is actually the old driveway. Oh, yeah. |
| 00:41:27.07 | Andres Edwards | I'll try to get it. |
| 00:41:27.47 | Fred Moore | Yeah. |
| 00:41:27.78 | Andres Edwards | I have close-ups of it that show it right next to the driveway. But it's been repaved since then, or resurfaced since then. |
| 00:41:38.93 | Fred Moore | During your analysis of the potential damage from the tree, did you locate where your water line is compared to where the tree is? or your sewer line delays. |
| 00:41:48.70 | Andres Edwards | Yeah, I know where they are. They're up above. OK. They're not in the area. They're not near where the tree is. No, not close enough. Maybe 15, 20 feet, I'm guessing. But it's somewhere. |
| 00:41:52.01 | Fred Moore | Okay. not there with him. |
| 00:41:58.81 | Fred Moore | No further questions. |
| 00:42:02.20 | Nastassya Saad | Commissioner Janie is now. |
| 00:42:04.28 | David Marlatt | Yes, thank you. So you've only owned the property about a year, so I presume the prior owner built the stairs and the board. Yes, she did. |
| 00:42:13.93 | Andres Edwards | Yes, she did it right before. Right. It was a way to have access to the basement. Sure. A safer way to have access to the basement. |
| 00:42:17.20 | David Marlatt | So... Sure. But she chose to put the path, rather than going straight off the house into the street, she chose to sort of put a kink in it so that it went by next to the tree. |
| 00:42:27.24 | Andres Edwards | Yeah. |
| 00:42:31.87 | Andres Edwards | I, yeah, I would have thought there's another way to get to the basement, which is from up above down, but she chose to put it from right on the road. |
| 00:42:39.53 | David Marlatt | And it's just gravel and wood, so it could be relocated. Yeah. |
| 00:42:43.85 | Andres Edwards | Thank you. |
| 00:42:43.97 | David Marlatt | Yeah. Did you explore before deciding to request a tree removal, reinforcing or just improving the retention around the downhill and the street side of the soil, putting in a proper retaining wall, maybe a foot tall as an alternative solution? |
| 00:43:01.79 | Andres Edwards | You know, not so much for a couple reasons. One is that that house has been recently bought, and there was a period there when it was the previous owners, so it's kind of a thing where you have to deal with the neighbors about it, and the neighbors weren't defined at that point because the person who lived there moved, and her family put it up for sale. So it was a period there when nobody really owned it and the new owner has been there very recently, just a few months. |
| 00:43:33.61 | David Marlatt | Thank you. No other questions. |
| 00:43:35.01 | Nastassya Saad | Sure, thank you. I don't have any questions either. Commissioner Luxenberg? No. Thank you very much. Stay close if you wanna go ahead and take a seat. We're gonna go ahead and open it up for public comment. And then you will have 10 minutes and 48 seconds after that if you wanna add anything more for your presentation. Okay, thank you. Assistant City Manager, can you help with public comment please? |
| 00:43:59.77 | Assistant City Manager | Absolutely. Seeing no public commenters in the chamber. Looking to the Zoom application for raised hands. And I am seeing none. Back to you. |
| 00:44:10.57 | Nastassya Saad | Thank you very much. Sorry to make you run around, but you do have an additional 10 minutes and 48 seconds. If you'd like to come back to the microphone to continue with the presentation or make any other remarks, once you're done, we're gonna bring it up for our discussion here. So it's your prerogative. |
| 00:44:28.22 | Andres Edwards | The other thing I did notice when I read the Arborist Report in more detail is they did mention that there was a weak link in the tree itself, that it has one branch that is off to the side that wasn't strong. I don't know if you noted that in the Arborist Report. They have a photograph of it with an arrow pointing to that. So that's another aspect of the tree that I wanted you all to be aware of. Otherwise, I don't know. I think that's it. It's mostly the foundation of my house, the path nearby, the driver for everybody, the power lines, and my neighbor. Those are the big impacts along there. And the other piece to reiterate is that there's no suitable place to put a replacement tree on my property per se. It's all shaded. It's very steep. Not a lot of room, suitable space for that. Sure. That's it. |
| 00:45:17.11 | Nastassya Saad | Sure. Thank you very much. Thank you for being here. We appreciate it. OK, we're going to close that part of the public hearing and bring it back up. Who would like to kick it off? |
| 00:45:31.96 | Nastassya Saad | Missionary Juniors. |
| 00:45:34.86 | Andrew Junius | Sure, thank you, Chair. So I will not be supporting this application. I won't be able to make the findings that are required under the municipal code. You know, just a couple of things. The tree looks like it's really been cared for by the previous owner, so it's a nice looking tree. The physical situation it's in with respect to proximity to the house and to the power lines, don't seem to certainly not not as bad as about a thousand other trees I've seen in Sausalito. I can't. I can't see that some of these statements made by the arborist are really that credible. At one point she says the canopy is in direct conflict with the secondary neighborhood power lines And it appears that the tree's been pruned away from the power lines, probably by the previous owner, and it wouldn't be impossible to continue trimming so that the power lines weren't affected. Following up on Commissioner Moore's comments regarding the foundation and the retaining wall issues, I don't see any credible evidence here that the that the foundation of the house, which is quite a ways away from the tree, is being affected by the tree. And these small wooden retaining walls do not appear to have been in any way damaged by the roots of the tree. So there's just a lot of things here that don't add up for me and I will not be supporting this application. |
| 00:47:10.98 | Nastassya Saad | Thank you, Commissioner Junius. Commissioner Luxembourg. |
| 00:47:20.16 | Jeffery Luxenberg | I do note in the arborist report, the tree has a depreciated value of $2,200. The value of the tree, it says, let me see, bring that back up. |
| 00:47:43.74 | Jeffery Luxenberg | that. It says something about a replacement tree cost of $295,000, I wasn't sure what that meant, but returns basic tree cost of $10,195. $1 and a depreciated replacement cost of $21.82 rounded to the nearest hundred. The subject tree has an economic value assignment of $2,200. I'm just sort of relaying that the, the, the $1,250 removal fee. If I'm confused, I just want this is just a clarification. That's not a, that's, that's, that relates to our tree fund to replace the tree. So it's not, it's not a fee to remove it. It's a fee to, since there's not land on this property to put a tree elsewhere in the city. I thought that's what was got approved by city council. I can ask if the commission's okay to ask Adam that question. |
| 00:48:47.93 | Adam Blair | Yeah, thank you for the question and you are correct. Yeah, that amount was stipulated in the city council resolution and that amount was intended to be for if the commission did not want to recommend a replacement tree, maybe due to site conditions maybe not being suitable, they could go the route of requiring that the applicant pay a tree replacement fee in an amount stipulated by the resolution and it breaks down fee amounts by the diameter breast height of the tree. |
| 00:49:15.45 | Jeffery Luxenberg | So to the point that the applicant said about putting a tree elsewhere, that is the point of the 1,250. |
| 00:49:23.47 | Nastassya Saad | That is essentially the point. |
| 00:49:24.50 | Assistant City Manager | That would go into a tree fund, which the city manages. |
| 00:49:25.58 | Nastassya Saad | Thank you. |
| 00:49:28.41 | Jeffery Luxenberg | The city manages so he has no he mentioned he'd be willing to donate That's a whole that was the whole reason why the council has approved this Ordinance is when you don't have land the city will determine where else there is land to put a tree At this point. I don't know. I want to hear whatever all the other commissioners have to say so |
| 00:49:48.80 | Nastassya Saad | May I actually ask a follow up? And it could be for city staff or potentially for council Is it not still with our prerogative to adjust that fee? if we wish. or is it stipulated by the council fee? Do we have any agreement here? |
| 00:50:08.29 | Assistant City Manager | Thank you for the question, Chair. I believe that those fees may be augmented. However, they would need to be augmented by the City Council via resolution. |
| 00:50:18.31 | Nastassya Saad | Sorry, I just missed the last word. Augmented by City Council. |
| 00:50:21.25 | Assistant City Manager | via a resolution. |
| 00:50:22.48 | Nastassya Saad | I see, okay, thank you very much, appreciate that. Okay, Commissioner Moore. |
| 00:50:30.95 | Fred Moore | I love trees. Obviously, Sausalito loves trees, hence we have so many ordinances and protections for trees. Having said that, I'm struggling with putting the words of the Arborist Report into what I visually see regarding the tree. The Arborist Report talks about the tree being very healthy. Pruning could easily remove it from the power lines. It says barely on the power lines. It's very far away from the existing house. It could also be brought down in height. I don't see any evidence of the retaining wall damage so I'm struggling with trying to understand how the arborists put that in their report where it looks like a one board maybe two board redwood there that doesn't even go past the tree doesn't look like any damage I don't see any root structures headed over to the retaining wall I don't see any roots uplifting the streets and we have plenty of evidence of that throughout the city down in the parking lots and some of the main streets where you can see where routes have done damage. I also don't see any routes uplifting any of the walkway I appreciate the report from the seismic group. Normally if there's evidence of damage, oftentimes reports that I have seen, they actually indicate what's causing the damage. I was heartened to hear that the sewer and the water lines are up property. That's oftentimes a concern where roots can damage sewer lines, which is very expensive. They can damage water lines. So I'm glad to hear that those two facilities for this property are nowhere near the tree. So those obviously aren't impacted. The visual evidence of what I'm seeing, I'm not making those aligned with the Arborist Report, so I'm struggling with trying to find the findings in item 1, A through D, to support a removal. But it seems easier to find findings for the denial of the application based on the fact that you can easily do thinning in 3A, double I, triple I, and four with shaping it and even topping the tree to remove it from the power lines, remove it from both the downhill property as well as the uphill property. And I just wish I saw visual evidence that comported with what the words were in the Arborist Report. So I'm on the fence at the moment. |
| 00:53:18.33 | Nastassya Saad | Thank you very much for your thoughts, Vice Chair. |
| 00:53:21.47 | David Marlatt | Yes, thank you. Well, my thoughts pretty much echo Commissioner Junius. I just don't see a reason for approval and I do see on the denial as Commissioner Moore suggests, you know, removal of your healthy tree. can be avoided by reasonable redesign of the site plan. Yes. Thinning to reduce density. Yes. Shaping to reduce height or spread. Yes. Heading or topping. Yes. I think the idea, even though I know the coastal live oaks have relatively shallow roots, the idea that a coastal live oak of that size has caused damage to the foundation up the hill eight feet away is frankly not plausible. I can't say, you know, it's absolutely impossible, but it's just not, it doesn't seem very plausible to me. So I don't believe I'd be supporting a positive resolution. |
| 00:54:13.65 | Nastassya Saad | Thank you very much. I think we're sympathetic to the fact when there's any type of distress in a foundation or for a safety of a home. But with that, I am, I think with my fellow commissioners here where I'm having a hard time being able to rectify what's in the report. And this really is a case of having to be fair and equitable to everyone before us. And I don't think we have the supportive evidence to go ahead and make a finding for removal. I also was not really clear at the comment that the arborist report cannot Thank you. Thank you. put in any type of comment around structural foundation or issues. We've seen that many times. And I think I did see that in the report. So I'm going to support a denial as well at this time, but I think we still wait to see Commissioner Luxembourg where you are, and if not, we can go ahead and put a motion on the floor at the very least. But did you have any further comments, Commissioner Luxembourg? |
| 00:55:32.81 | Jeffery Luxenberg | I don't have any further comments at this time. |
| 00:55:35.31 | Nastassya Saad | Okay, thank you. So with that, I think we are probably at a point of a potential motion unless there's any further discussion. I'll look for a motion unless anyone has any further comments. |
| 00:55:50.02 | Andrew Junius | I'd like to make the motion to deny the application before us based on the fact that we cannot make the finding to grant the permit pursuant to section, subsection B1A. We don't see the public health and safety issues with respect to the arborist report. And then under 3A, there's certainly ways that this healthy tree can be trimmed and treated in such a way that it does not need to be removed. |
| 00:55:50.07 | Nastassya Saad | Go ahead, please. |
| 00:56:30.69 | Nastassya Saad | Is there a second? |
| 00:56:33.29 | David Marlatt | I'll second. |
| 00:56:33.81 | Nastassya Saad | Thank you. Is that, Assistant City Manager, did you wanna chime in? You look like you wanted to say something. Do you need something clearer on the motion? |
| 00:56:43.25 | Assistant City Manager | No, I was going to ask if there was any additional discussion needed or alternative motions. And if not, I was going to call roll. |
| 00:56:51.31 | Nastassya Saad | Excellent. Can you take a roll, please? |
| 00:56:53.98 | Assistant City Manager | Thank you, thank you chair. Commissioner Junius aye. Commissioner Moore aye. Commissioner Luxenberg yes. Vice-Chair Merlot yes. Chair Saad yes motion passes. |
| 00:56:56.58 | Jeffery Luxenberg | I... Yes. |
| 00:57:02.64 | Nastassya Saad | Yes. Thank you. With that, we are at adjournment. So all those in favor? Aye. Aye. Thank you. Thank you very much for being here this evening. |
| 00:57:17.37 | Assistant City Manager | Thank you, commissioners. Thank you, staff. Thank you, community members. Have a great evening. |
