Sleepy Hollow Homeowners Association May 3, 2013 Board of Supervisors of Marin County 3501 Civil Center Drive San Rafael, CA 94903-4157 Re: Stream Conservation Area (SCA) Proposed Amendments to the Development Code Honorable Members of the Board of Supervisors: INTRODUCTION The Sleepy Hollow Homes Association (SHHA) objects to the proposed changes to Chapters 22.33 (Stream Protection) and 22.63 (Stream Conservation Area Permit) as they would apply to the residents of the unincorporated portion of San Anselmo known as Sleepy Hollow. We ask that the County exempt and/or delay implementation of any changes to Chapters 22.33 and 22.63 as to the city-centered corridor streams, including Sleepy Hollow. The SHHA supports implementation of the proposed amendments to the San Geronimo Valley, to protect wildlife habitat in streams where Coho Salmon currently exist. The SHHA supports regulations to ensure the health and survival of the species in these areas. The SHHA recognizes the urgency of this matter to the San Geronimo Valley, both for the survival of the endangered and declining Coho population and for the property rights of the affected residents who are currently subject to a building moratorium.

  • Sea Level Rise Adaptation Report Marin Ocean Coast
    Marin Ocean Coast Sea Level Rise Adaptation Report Marin County Community Development Agency February 2018 Collaboration: Sea-Level Marin Adaptation Response Team Marin County Community Development Agency February 2018 | Marin County, CA | marinslr.org A Call to Action for West Marin Residents West Marin is abundant with natural resources that are integral to its cultural identify as demonstrated by the long heritage of open space preservation and appreciation. Federal, state and local parklands abutting the Pacific Ocean provide a retreat from the hustle and bustle of Bay Area living. Coastal bluffs, beaches, wetlands, and more draw millions of international visitors for surfing, birding, kayaking, hiking, picnicking and more. Protected ranchlands are stewarded by multi-generation family farming operations which feed the region with milk, cheese, yogurt, butter, ice- cream and other products. Nestled within these vast swaths of open space are small but mighty communities that serve as both visitor hubs and homes to residents who cherish and value the unique sense of place. Climate change presents unprecedented threats to West Marin. Wetlands and beaches could be drowned with rising waters, and native plants and animal populations could plummet from changes in temperature and precipitation, ocean acidification, invasive species, and more. Coastal flooding and erosion threaten homes, roads, and utilities that are critical to the long- term sustainability of West Marin. Spearheaded by the Marin County Community Development Agency in 2014, Collaboration: Sea Level Rise Adaptation Response Team (C-SMART) is a partnership based community planning approach to solve some of these challenges. The Marin Ocean Coast Sea Level Rise Vulnerability Assessment analyzed the vulnerabilities of natural and built assets from near- to long-term combined sea level rise and storm scenarios.

She was my second celebrity encounter since moving back to Northern California last year, the first being a certain celebrity chef cutting me off on Highway 12. I later learned that Ms. Hedren’s appearance is an annual tradition, and that some of the money she makes from it goes to support her extensive charity work. Though I’ve never seen the film in its entirety, I learned the story through multiple trips to the restaurant and the Saint Teresa of Avila Church in Bodega. Even I, who spent the majority of my life in Middle Tennessee, feel local pride knowing these beautiful places are immortalized in such a loved and influential film.

    <b>FREDERICK (FRED) J. FRAIKOR.</b> Born 1937. <b>Transcript</b> of <b>OH 1359V A-B</b> This interview was recorded on June 16, 2005, for the Maria Rogers Oral History Program and the Rocky Flats Cold War Museum. The interviewer is Hannah Nordhaus. The interview is also available in video format, filmed by Hannah Nordhaus. The interview was transcribed by Sandy Adler. NOTE: Interviewer’s questions and comments appear in parentheses. Added material appears in brackets. [A]. 00:00 (OK, we’re recording. This is the Rocky Flats Cold War Museum Oral History Project. I’m interviewing Fred Fraikor. I’m Hannah Nordhaus. It’s the 16th of June, 2005. We’re at Fred’s office at the Colorado School of Mines, where he teaches.) (Fred, to get started, if you could just tell me a little bit about your background, where you were born, what your parents did.) OK. I was born in a steel town called Ducaine, Pennsylvania, which is one of the suburbs of Pittsburgh. My parents, although my dad grew up here, were of Slovak&mdash;back then it was Czechoslovakia&mdash;origin. My dad, like all the other immigrants at the time, would run back and forth, they’d make their money in the coal mines and the steel mills and then they’d go back to Czechoslovakia, buy up land, and come back here. What they didn’t realize was that the Communists would then confiscate the land, which is why I’m not a big land baron at this point. He brought my mother back here in 1936, just before World War II, when the Nazis invaded.

  • Marin Agricultural Land Trust Permanently Protected the 585-Acre Red Hill Ranch
    MARIN A GRICULTUR AL L AND TRUST PRESERVING MARIN COUNTY FARMLAND 2 DEAR MEMBERS & FRIENDS, This report looks back on our 2008-09 fiscal year, when Marin Agricultural Land Trust permanently protected the 585-acre Red Hill Ranch. The agricultural conservation easement purchased by MALT enabled co-owners Kitty Dolcini and her brother Doug to buy out four other brothers and a sister. Without MALT, the property would have had to be sold and almost certainly would have been divided into multiple parcels. We had been working with the family off and on for some 10 years to find a conservation solution, and we are delighted, thankful, and proud of the outcome. Today, Doug runs beef cattle, Kitty raises organic strawberries, and 25 acres are rented to organic farmer David Retsky who does business as County Line Farms. This fall, we held our annual Directors’ Barbecue at the ranch. Spirits (and the temperature) soared as we celebrated the permanent protection of the scenic farmland in Hicks Valley while enjoying a delicious lunch of food grown on the ranch and on other family farms in Marin. Protecting Celebrating the completion of a project is the culmina- farmland is the tion of mostly invisible work by MALT’s staff and Board heart of MALT’s of Directors. The work includes evaluating a potential program project, working with the family and their advisors, and drafting a conservation easement designed to protect the agricultural and natural resource values of the property. Title reports and appraisals are ordered. The Board of Directors reviews the project on an ongoing basis and helps raise the funds for the easement purchase.
