Tiburon Section 3 revision would add 17 lots and preserve Gunter Cemetery, commission hears

The Planning Commission reviewed a revised preliminary plan for Tiburon Subdivision Section 3, off Sam Donald Road, that would add 17 lots and three open-space areas on about 29 acres and bring the total Tiburon development to 45 lots across 73.85 acres.

Staff described a 20-foot right-of-way designation along the south side of Sam Donald Road that matches prior sections of the subdivision, temporary dead-end provisions to allow future connections to adjacent tracts and interior road access to most lots. The presentation identified the Gunter Cemetery located south of the Sam Donald Road right-of-way; the cemetery is to be preserved within open space. A commissioner asked if a fence would be installed; a staff member said they would check with the applicant.

The transcript records prior approval history for Tiburon's earlier sections and that all proposed lots comply with R-2 zoning district requirements. Staff concluded its presentation and commissioners asked clarifying questions; no formal final action was recorded in the transcript.

What happens next: staff will follow up with the applicant on questions about cemetery treatment and finalize materials for the commission's recommendation or final action in a future packet.
