Tiburon Open Space Committee Tiburon Open Space has turned the Martha Property into open space. Our only goal now is stewardship: to maintain and improve the Martha Property.

If you've ever looked out from the hills of Tiburon and enjoyed the spectacular view across open land to the Golden Gate Bridge, Angel Island and the East Bay, you already know the stakes. One of the last great open spaces in southern Marin County is in danger of being developed if we don't act now! There's a plan to build up to 43 very large houses (average size 7,500 square feet) on the Easton Point property at the tip of the Tiburon Peninsula, also known as the Martha Property, which will change the face of this magnificent open space forever and render these amazing views accessible to only a very wealthy few. The entire 800+ page DEIR for the Martha Property project (now called Easton Point) is available for viewing and downloading at:http://www.co.marin.ca.us/depts/CD/main/pdf/eir/2008_Easton_Point_DEIR_CD.pdf, but there’s no need to read the entire document. The best thing to do is to pick out an area that is of most concern or interest to you, keeping in mind that the most effective comments will be those that focus on health and safety issues and endangered species. Section 2.3 (page 18) Scoping Comments And Areas Of Controversy and Section 2.5 (Page 49) Major EIR Conclusions and Issues to be Resolved are good summaries. How can you help?

1. For more information please visit our website at www.tibruronopenspace.org

2. Contribute your time, cash, and/or your expertise

This may very well be the last chance to save our remaining magnificent open lands from further development. For this effort, we need a committed community. If this matters to you, please lend your hand and voice. Monetary contributions are needed to support our legal and outreach efforts, but so are pro bono services of lawyers, geologists, land use experts, and EVERYONE who can help us get the word out about this vital issue preserving Marin County’s beautiful legacy for future generations. We especially need the help of college, high school, and younger students who can take on this issue through Social Media and may want to make it a community service or class project.

This is a letter to my neighbors and partners; to my town, my friends, and especially to my family.

It is also, joyfully, a letter to our future.

I have imagined sending a note like this for, oh, some 35 years. (Yikes!) It is a message about those acres above us, of course. It is also about an idea, a notion, a hope realized; it is about a wonderful, and once virtually impossible-to-contemplate dream.

One step. Small steps. Big steps.

And, now, just a few more.

What a remarkable journey it has been to forever protect Martha. This note is our way of saying that we still need your help. As the man once said, “It ain’t over ’til it’s over.” We are so close, but it ain’t over.
