Sycamore Park Restroom Approved
October 27, 2008
The Mill Valley City Council supported plans this week 
to build a small restroom in Sycamore Park, despite some opposition from neighbors with homes adjacent to the park. The project was unanimously approved by the Parks and Recreation Commission earlier this year at its June 11 meeting, despite objections by Park Terrace residents whose homes border the park.
But, the majority of City Council members expressed sympathy with the larger community need for a restroom. Mayor Shawn Marshall pointed out that many Mill Valley residents travel to parks throughout the city, making a restroom essential. “This is a basic human function,” Marshall said. “It’s really just that simple for me.”
The proposal recommended by the Parks and Recreation Department would install a 7-by-11-foot shed-like restroom that contains a toilet, hand sink and hand dryer. A similar restroom was installed in Tam Valley’s Eastwood Park for about $105,000.

Mill Valley Homes & Real Estate (July 2008)
July 17, 2008
As Marin experiences its seasonal slowdown this time of year (a.k.a. the Summer selling season), Mill Valley’s sales numbers continue skirting the stratosphere. This is not news to anyone who follows my monthly reports. Mill Valley is simply one of the most desirable communities in Marin and its sales reflect that fact–and for good reason.
Predictably and in line with May 2008, 57% of homes priced under $800,000 and 26% of homes between $1 million and $1.5 million are in escrow. I have noted in past months that Agents were exhibiting ”a sense of purpose” and the numbers reflect that. Mill Valley’s inventory of single family homes for sale is about 107 homes currently on the market (there were 110 in June 2008). Mill Valley homes that sold during the past month averaged 65 days on the market and sold for an average price of about $1.284 million (about $654 per square foot), and averaged about 2,031 square feet.
