Subject: Special Favors #8,  #9 and #1 of 58.

Erratta: Revise # 9, 10 and 11 to 8 , 9 and 10


Bcc: 246 Homestead Valley neighbors.
 
The following #8,  #9 and #10 of  fifty-eight 58 examples describe in detail at attachment A, backed up by source references, furnish examples of a few Marin County staff, with the presumed knowledge of their reviewing and approving supervisors, Directors and related and interested District #4 Supervisor, deliberately furnishing special favors and treatment in the form of deletion or omissions of any adverse fact or finding that may adversely impact review and approval of Marin Horizon School's Design Review and Use Permit application in order to ensure County Board of Supervisor approval of  resolution Marin Horizon School Design Review and Use Permit 2005-105.
                     
There are too many deletions and omissions of adverse findings and requirements to credibly believe them to be inadvertent.
 
The above Marin County staff actions avoided constraining Marin Horizon School in any physical or financial way by deleting or omitting any Environmental Initial Study finding, mitigating negative impact measure or  County requirement that required Marin Horizon School to conform to and comply with mandatory County Wide Plan. Tamalpais Area Community Plan, Title 19, Title 22, Title 24 including  Board of Supervisor resolution 2005-1005 Condition of Approval # 18, #47 and #50 and Marin Horizon's 2010 Traffic Management Plan.
 
 
 
8.     The DPW's Land Use, Water Resources and Traffic staff omitted to require MHS to provide school day special event parking in accordance with MHS' E.I.S 6. Traffic and Circulation, page 28 that MHS would provide on-site school day special event  parking for 55 vehicles by providing  4 parking spaces normally used by staff and 51 parking spaces on the playground.
 
9.      CDA principal planner J. Tejirian did not carefully and completely review MHS' revised Traffic Management Plan for conformance with the requirements of 2005-105 Condition of Approval 18 as the revised MHS' 2010 Traffic Plan, that he recommended for the Director's approval, deletes/omits the following seventeen MHS' Existing Traffic Management Plan's requirements that (See following items # 8 to # 25)
 
a)      MHS' Use Permit resolution 2005-105 Condition of Approval 18 reads: "Before increasing daily student enrollment, the school shall submit a revised traffic management plan for the review and approval of the Director, which shall be implemented and enforced all times by the Marin Horizon School, in conformance with the existing traffic management plan as modified by conditions of the Department of Public Works ………stipulations."  Note: The above mentioned "existing traffic plan" is included in MHS' E.I.S at Appendix B. pages
 
1.                  As stated above, MHS was directed to submit a revised traffic management plan in conformance with the existing traffic management plan as modified by conditions of the Department of Public Works and is not authorized to delete/omit MHS' Existing Traffic Management Plan's requirements
 
10.      The MHS' 2010 Traffic Management Plan reviewed by CDA principal planner J. Tejirian, and recommended for the CDA's Director's approval,  does not conform to "to BOS 2005-105 Condition of Approval #18 in that: it omitted to include MHS' Existing Traffic Management Plan's requirement that "One (MHS monitor) at the corner of Melrose Avenue and Montford Avenue to prevent back-up by directing cars to "circle" the route rather than wait for an opening in line and to ensure compliance with traffic rules. MHS' omission of existing traffic management plan measures does not comply
 
 
 
The County's participants in the above examples of documented and source referenced deletions and omissions solely benefiting Marin Horizon School should be, but most likely will not be, censured, relieved from County office or County Employment for unethically granting special favors to Marin Horizon School.
 
Seems that Marin Horizon School has its own version of Bush era Fiends in High Places only in Marin it's Marin Horizon School  aka Marin Halliburton School.
