3. Comments from the Chair, Jena Watson.
Chair Watson opened with thanks to the prior chair and to Robert Zadnik as the former Public Works
Director. She then introduced Antony Boyd as the new Public Works Director. She reviewed the
changes to the Committee guidelines, the upcoming report to City Council and 2023 goals.
Public Comment was called for, there was none.
4. Report from City Manager, Robert Zadnik and Public Works Director, Antony Boyd
Director Boyd reported on Coastal Cleanup Day and thanked volunteers and Public Works staff. He
shared the actions the City has taken on coyote control and reviewed hazing tactics. Tree work that
had taken place recently was reviewed as well as an upcoming treatment plan for the pear tree in
Community Park. An update on Community Park renovations was given. Tennis court fencing and a
bench that was damaged by a car accident has been repaired, and new benches have been installed at
the courts by the Ranch.
Chair Watson noted that the new benches were paid for and installed by The Ranch at the tennis
courts. There were questions to the management of Coyotes and whether it falls under the purview of
POSLC or City Council. City Manager Zadnik said sightings should be reported to Belvedere Police
Department if they are a public safety issue. Signage if needed, would be a committee issue.
Member Bordon asked about a discussion on a Centennial Park bay tree and a 40’ high hedge both
which cause view obstruction. Director Boyd said he was not aware of talks of reduction of the bay
tree but that he would take a look at both the tree and the hedge. Chair Watson then brought up a
report that was done by Gary Rasmussen and that there are several trees which need attention in
Centennial Park. She asked if City Manager Zadnik would share that report and history with Director
Boyd.
City Manager Zadnik commented that there is a coyote hazing kit available at City Hall for residents.
Public Comment was called for and there was none.

OLD BUSINESS
5. Review of Playground Remodel Project and possible action on the following topics:
• Construction is completed on the Playground - “Ribbon Cutting Ceremony” held at the
Playground on October 15th.
• Bench in tots’ area included in renovated playground.
• Permanent Donor Recognition Element in Community Park.
Chair Watson announced that the playground remodel project is complete and open to children of all
ages. She noted that there was a ribbon cutting ceremony last weekend and the playground looked
magnificent. There are a few items to be completed including a bench in tots’ area. The City has
received additional funding in the form of a $32,000.00 donation to purchase and install the bench.
Plans are being finalized by City Staff for the bench and a few additional items.
Chair Watson said that she was aware that Petey Stein and Bryan Kemnitzer are working on this
project. She mentioned that she really likes the ceramic plaques at the back wall of the playground that
were made for the last renovation and that continuity is important. She will follow up with Petey and
Bryan for the status of this project.
Public Comment was called for and there was none.
6. Discussion and Possible Action regarding Park Lane Stairs, Seating Area and Related Landscaping
and Improvements: Discussion and Possible Action on Plans for Stairs, Seating Area and Related
Landscaping and Improvements.
Chair Watson opened the discussion with the statement that she felt there is an immediate need to
repair or replace the stairs at the bottom of Park Lane. The Committee is looking for a solution that
will incorporate the stair replacement into an existing plan by Rasmussen. Director Boyd said the
wood will be replaced by concrete with the Rasmussen plan and he wanted to make sure we would
not be duplicating work with a repair and then when the full upgrade of the area was put in place.
Director Boyd spoke on pricing of the two alternative improvements, the curved and the straight
staircase. A construction estimate provided by the architect, Gary Rasmussen, gave the amount
$100,000.00 for either alternative, excluding costs of metal work for the rail. With the rail the City is
expecting the cost to be around $120,000.00. The City has allocated around $20,000.00, which
Director Boyd felt would be adequate to make repairs to the existing wooden stairs. There was further
discussion on the feasibility of a phased stair project. City Manager Zadnik said this would ultimately
be something that Rasmussen would have to study. Member Walker did not believe this curved aspect
could be achieved in a piece meal fashion. City Manager Zadnik suggested a special meeting after
input from Rasmussen to decide on stair repair materials. Director Boyd said he would check with
Rasmussen and report back to see if and when a special meeting should be scheduled.
Member Walker asked City Staff how best to handle the deficit of funds needed for the complete
project. City Manager said for the Committee to advocate City Council on their next report funds
allocation for the next budget cycle.
Councilor Campbell reminded the committee that the greater public looks at the lanes not only for
recreation but also as a means of evacuation during a fire.
6
Director Boyd said he had enough direction from the Committee to have Public Works crews make
repairs and meet with Rasmussen for planning with current funding and a phased approach. He did
not feel a motion was necessary.
Public Comment was called for and Director Boyd read a letter from Klaus Johannsmeier into the
record. There was no further comment.
No motion was made.
NEW BUSINESS
7. Discussion and possible action regarding the soliciting of applications to fill a vacant seat on the
Committee.
Chair Watson asked if the City had been advertising the vacancy and City Manager Zadnik reported
that it had, but that there had been no applicants. She then asked Committee Members to ask their
friends and neighbors if they wanted to participate. Committee Member Bordon suggested a resident
that she had heard of that had just become a Master Gardner.
Public Comment was called for and there was none.
8. Report from staff on composting requirement related to SB 1383. Discussion and Possible action
regarding policy/program development.
Director Boyd started off the discussion by reviewing the SB 1383 guidelines and then introduced
Kathy Huber who made a presentation on her organization’s work in placing compost bins in public
parks, which has been added to the file.
Chair Watson asked if the bins had solar recycling capabilities, to which Ms. Huber responded that
some do but are twice as expensive and, from other users feedback, not worth it. There were further
questions as to different types of bins and collection services, which Mill Valley Refuse, the City’s
contracted Refuse collector, provides. Committee Members were enthusiastic and thanked Ms. Huber.
Ms. Huber enquired as to next steps. Chair Watson suggested a pilot program in Community Park.
Committee Member Pearson said she felt that recycling options in the park are not currently utilized
correctly. Ms. Huber said her program includes educators that attend functions and help people with
questions. Director Boyd agreed with the idea of a pilot program. It was decided this item should be
placed on the next agenda as a follow up.
Regarding the compost procurement requirement of SB 1383, Member Bordon questioned where it
could possibly all be placed. Following discussion, both Chair Watson and Member Bordon thought
this topic should be placed on the agenda of the next meeting.
Public Comment was called for and there was none.
9. Discussion and possible action regarding a Belvedere/Tiburon joint bayside launching area for
kayaks and paddle boards.
Chair Watson opened the discussion saying Chuck Hornbrook had contacted her regarding a
presentation he gave Tiburon’s counterpart committee, Parks, Open Space and Trails (POST), about
7
a kayak and paddleboard launch. There are very few ways to for the public to access the water in the
area. He requested the POSLC open a dialogue with POST about the launch. Chair Watson shared
her screen with the presentation that showed proposed locations. There was discussion on these
locations, and on the few places you can currently launch, as well as challenges that these all present.
The Committee discussed the various issues related to boat launching facilities including parking in
the area. There will not be a further agenda item on this subject.
Public Comment was called for and there was none.
FUTURE ITEMS
10. Matters or topics to be considered for future discussion.
There were no further items or public comment.

Item 8
Parks and Open Space
Status of Lanes
Prepared by Bryan Kemnitzer and Olaf
1. Pagoda Lane
Pagoda Lane runs from Bayview to Beach. On the whole the lane
is in reasonably good condition. However, at the bottom of the lane there
are a number of issues which need to be addressed. There is a concrete
bench on the right-hand side at the lower part of the lane which is actually
not very stable. A teak wooden bench would be nice. In addition, the view
from the bench could be extremely nice if a substantial amount of
vegetation including dead material and scotch broom was removed. A
significant amount of dead vegetation near the bottom of the lane could be
considered a fire hazard. There would then be a view of Corinthian Island
and Angel Island.
In addition, parts of the railing are missing and parts of the
wooden railing are in dilapidated condition.
2. Lower Woodland
On the upper part of Lower
Woodland Lane the railing is
missing and should be repaired.
15
Item 8
3. Albert's Alley
Should provide direct access to the
beach and the public open space, which
was deeded to the city in 1896 by the
Belvedere Land Company to be used for
open space and recreational purposes.
Initially, there is no sign on Albert's
Alley (photo left), which actually is
appropriate because it probably should be
renamed as Lower Hawthorne. There is no
railing on the upper part of the stairs and
in addition some of the stairs are not in
good shape. There is a lot of vegetation
some of which could be removed to open
up a view (photo right).
Near the bottom of Albert's Alley
the lane curves to the right and does in fact
go down to a pier (photos left). That pier is
leased by the owners from the city and a
few years ago actually had stairs on the
right going down to the beach, but the
stairs have been removed.
The retaining wall for the house just above the tum in the
stairs is in very bad condition and has wooden supports to stop it
from falling (photo right).
On the whole it would seem that Albert's Alley should be
repaired so that the community would have an access point for the
open space and recreational purposes.
4. McLean Lane
On Upper McLean it appears that
railing is missing and should be placed on
the left-hand side all the way up the final
set of stairs.
16
Item 8
5. Upper Hawthorne Lane
On Upper Hawthorne Lane there are numerous telephone poles
and wires and it is my understanding they will be removed in the near
future based on under grounding on Golden Gate Lane. Other than that,
the lane appears to be in good condition.
6. Middle Hawthorne Lane
Middle Hawthorne is Centennial Park and it is my understanding
that Gary Rasmussen ofBlazen Landscape is working on a design for
Centennial Park, particularly the upper portion that has wooden stairs and
a wooden outlook.
7. Upper Woodwardia
At the top of Woodwardia Lane there
is some previously used wood railing to
one side that has fallen down and simply
needs to be removed.
8. Park Lane
Olaf and I observed that Park Lane
needs some repair. About a third of the way
down a portion of the railing on the right
side has been tom out and needs to be
replaced as soon as possible (photo right).
More significantly at the bottom
part, which is now owned by the city, the
railing on the right-hand side going down
should be moved to the left-hand side, so
that there would be access to the small park
area and the bench that is planned for that
area. It is my understanding that Gary
Rasmussen is again working on a design for
this area not only for the park, but for some removal of vegetation so that
there is a view of the Golden Gate Bridge. Gary also is redesigning the
wooden stairs which are in bad condition. In fact, I almost broke one of
the steps.
17
Item 8
9. Arti!it's View
Artist's View is one of the most spectacular open spaces in
Belvedere and, pursuant to the deed, the city should build a
meandering path for hiking down to the beach. It is my understanding
that the city has in fact entered into a contract with Fletcher Design
which will be desi g n ing three proposals for the meandering path.
Hopefully, that will be done in the very near future so that the
community will be able to voice its opinion with regard to the various
designs.
10. Lower Woodwardia
Olaf and I are ended at Lower Woodwardia, 270 Beach. Currently,
there is essentially no lane at 270 Beach and it is a complete mess due to
the construction of the new house. The owners however are fully aware of
the fact that there is a lane on the left side of the property and are willing to
cooperate with regard to making sure the lane is redone. As with Albert's
Alley this lane is supposed to go all the way down to the beach into public
land. There will need to be some engineering and design issues as to
whether or not it goes to the left or the right at the bottom.
Summary
On the whole most of the lanes Olaf and I walked on are in fairly good shape. Some require a
very minor amount of work and some could be part of a cleanup day. The most significant issues appear
to be Park Lane, Albert's Alley, Lower Woodwardia, and 270 Beach. Hopefully, the committee could
decide with regard to priorities for repair and construction.

Item 8
From: Jean Bordon
To: POSC
Date: January 3, 2022
Subject: Update of Attached "Possible Lane Maintenance Projects, January 11, 2018", by Jean
Bordon
Upper Cedar Lane: In the lower section, the initial section of metal railing is very low and it ends
after a short distance, where it is attached with red tape to a temporary appearing wood railing,
which is propped up by a wood stake. This should all be replaced by a metal railing meeting
code requirements. At the top section, there is a paved walkway, running parallel to the road. The
wood retaining wall above this walkway is leaning over the walkway. This should be stabilized.
Lower Cedar Lane: In the upper section of stairs near Bayview Ave., there is no curbing or
railing on the south side of the steps. There is a drop off into a ditch along this section of stairs.
In the lower section, there is a wood curbing which runs along the south side of the steps. A high
wooden curbing or an additional handrail should be added on the south side of this upper section.
Lower Woodland: At the lower end at Beach Road, the metal handrailing is sturdy, but it appears
to be lower than Code. Midway up, there is a small section of older stairs, made of stones topped
with concrete. These are starting to tilt and show some signs of buckling. Continuing up the lane,
there are several breaks in the metal handrailing to allow entry into homes. In the second to the
last railing section from the top, the top rail is missing. The railings should be brought up to
Code, and additional rail sections should be placed on the opposite side of the breaks in the
railing for homeowner access. The older section of concrete on stone steps should be monitored.
Transpac Lane: There is a very sturdy wooden railing the entire length of the lane. If this lane is
to be considered as an evacuation route, this railing should be replaced with a grippable metal
railing.
Jan Anderson's Report The following repairs recommended in Jan Anderson's Report o f 2015
have still not been completed. The priority designations are taken from Jan Anderson's Report:
Upper McLean: "The top section of stairs has a 2x6 wooden railing. Recommend addition of a
greppable railing ... High Priority" This wooden railing is on the opposite side of the existing
metal railings and is easily overgrown by an adjacent hedge. A new grippable metal railing
should be installed on the same side as the existing metal railing.
Lower McLean "The railing at the top section appears low and does not extend to the top step.
Medium priority"
Centennial Park: "The wooden stairs at the top section of the lane has 2x6 railing. Recommend
addition of handrail with a smooth grippable surface. - Medium Priority" There is currently a
subcommittee working with DPW to remedy this and to generally improve Centennial Park
Pagoda Lane: Jan Anderson reported a high priority need for replacing wood railings with
grippable handrails. While much of this work has been done, as observed in Bryan Kemnitzer's
19
Item 8
Report of December 2021, there is a remaining wood section, which is deteriorating, and which is
not grippable.
Park Lane: "The lower section of Park Lane is a wooden stair with 4x6 railing. Recommend
addition of handrail with a smooth greppable surface. - Medium Priority" There is currently a
subcommittee working with DPW to remedy this and to generally improve Park Lane.
Corinthian Lane: "This lane currently does not have any handrail along its length ... Recommend
the two sections of stairs have railings installed. - High Priority"
Holly Lane "This lane does have handrails along its length, but the handrail is low and probably
should be raised. New end treatments should also be considered as well. - Medium Priority"

Possible Lane Maintenance Projects
January 11, 2018
Projects not yet Finished FY 2017/2018
Upper Cedar Lane: Repairs of Stairs and Replacement of Hand Rail
Possible POSC action: Motion to Support any Recommendation by DPW for any needed
additional funding.
Possible Projects for FY 2018/2019
Lower Cedar Lane
( 1) There is no curbing or railing on the side of the stairs in last upper section of stairs at Bay
View of Ave. There is a drop off into a ditch running along the side the stairs. (There is a railing
on the other side of the stairs.)
(2) Small chunks of concrete have broken off the treads of some of the stairs in first lower
section of stairs at Beach Road.
Lower Woodland Lane
(1) Midway, in the last section of what appear to be older stone steps, there are fairly large loose
stones on the south edge of several steps.
(2) The handrail in the lower section appears to be lower than current code. It is however very
sturdy.
(3) In the upper section at Bay View Ave., the stairs are tilted. The surface appears to be
degrading.
Handrail Repairs
In 2015, Jan Anderson, then a member of the POSC, prepared a report titled: 'City of Belvedere
Hand Rail Repair Project 2015". The report included a priority designation for each repair. This
report has been referred to as "the List" in various budget documents. The following repairs,
which include the designations from the report, have not yet been completed:
Upper McLean - High Priority
Lower McLean - Medium Priority
Upper Hawthorne - Medium Priority
Park - Medium Priority
Corinthian - High Priority
Holly - Medium Priority
Possible POSC Action: Motion to request DPW to include funding for any of above projects in
DPW budget requests for FY 2018/2019.

Survey of Trees and Maintenance, 2018: Update August, 2020,
Re-presented January 2022
by Anne-Marie Walker
Parks and Open Spaces Committee, City of Belvedere
Compiled by sub-committee members Alison Seaman, Anne-Marie Walker and Barbara Winter
Foreword:
Our sub-committee was tasked to compile a survey of the trees in the parks of Belvedere. The parks
surveyed include Community Park, Centennial Park, Tom Price Park, Land Company Park, and Belvedere
Way Park.
We began with the identification of each tree, noting both the scientific and common names. This includes
a photo of each specimen. We used "stock" photos instead of actual photos since this survey was done
in the winter when the deciduous trees had no leaves.
We measured the DBH (diameter at breast height) for each tree, and evaluated its condition based on a
scale of 1-3 described below:
#1 Needs immediate attention
#2 Needs attention or correction within one year
#3 Needs regular care and maintenance - condition good
With trees classified as #1 or #2, specific details are given to correct the problem/condition.
When we first began the survey we thought we might try and identify possible Heritage Trees. However
we felt since we didn't have a clear definition of a Heritage tree and none of us are certified arborists that
we would just make comments regarding particularly beautiful and notable trees. The Linden tree in Land
Company Park is probably top on our list. The Redwood Grove in Community Park is also especially
beautiful and is commemorated with a plaque beside the trees. There is also a small Pear Tree near City
Hall on San Rafael Ave. It is the last of an orchard planted in 1860. It is designated with a small plaque.
We have created an appendix containing photos of all commemorative plaques for the parks.
We hope this survey will serve as a basis and guide for the care and maintenance of our beautiful tree
canopy within our Belvedere Parks.

believe can be worked on now even before City Council's direction:
Actions to Accomplish Fuel Load Reduction and Public Education Recommendations:
• Increase municipal funding for removal of dead trees and highly flammable invasive
vegetation on public land. Action by DPW to increase budget allocation.
• Notice properties with dead trees (refer to TVV Task Force dead tr-ee list) and require
removal of hazards to ensure public safety. Action item for TVV Task Force and City
Staff.
• Identify the areas of the City at highest risk to establish priority order for fuel load
reduction. Action item for TFO and Parks and TVV Task Force.

Suggestions on Lane Improvements

Anne-Marie Walker <walker777@comcast.net> Sat, Dec 11, 2021 at 8:04 AM
To: Jean Bordon <bordonjean@gmail.com>
Good morning, Jean.
You have asked for comments on Lanes from all members of Parks and Open Spaces for the upcoming January
meeting.
While I know we need the details too to insure ongoing repairs and general safety of lanes, I will focus my
comments on the big picture.
For those of us who walk the lanes, there is also a deeper meaning as to what the lanes represent and what they
afford us: a moment to reflect you are on a lane where there is no traffic and you can slowly stroll, pause and
appreciate the view and our Island.
In many cases, the vistas have been obscured. We need to turn this around and restore vistas with thoughtful
and judicious pruning. I would like in particular to see two lanes which follow from the top of the Island down to
the east shore slotted to the top of the list for restoration. These two long lanes are both divided into three parts:
Woodwardia Lane and Hawthorn Lane. I would also hope that Hawthorn, sometimes viewed as Centennial Park,
would be preserved more as a whole so its potential as a magnificent vista down to the water can be restored.
These are my thoughts on Lanes, Jean.
I am also attaching the garden plan for Centennial Park drafted by Alison Seaman following meetings with Flora
Grubb Nursery and Robert Zadnik.
Lastly, there are other lanes that afford opportunities for great vistas, Park Lane, Golden Gate Lane, and Pagoda.
Hope to see those come up next.
Best,
Anne-Marie Walker
