Christmas Tree Hill Property at Center of Public Debate

Homeowners are squaring off against homeowners to decide the character of a Corte Madera neighborhood.

The Corte Madera Town Council voted 3-1, with one abstention, at its May 7 meeting to deny the proposed designs for a home on 150 Edison Ave. Council member Bob Ravasio abstained as he is part owner of the property.

The Town Council will host a public hearing regarding the project during its regular meeting Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. at Town Hall.

Opponents to the proposed design on Christmas Tree Hill listed a series of concerns, arguing:

  • The driveway presents a hazard to users of the Jean Bean Trail.
  • The house is not set back far enough from neighboring property.
  • The house is too large for the property.
Also on Tuesday's agenda is a discussion of the upcoming July 1 deadline to officially withdraw from the Association of Bay Area Governments.
