• Belvedere upholds $300,000 fine after fiery hearing on construction delays (thearknewspaper.com) — Belvedere officials have reaffirmed a $300,000 construction time-limit fine against the owners of 339 Golden Gate Ave., setting up a high-stakes court fight that could reshape the city’s penalty system. After a tense rehearing ordered by a Marin judge, the City Council again rejected the homeowners’ appeal, while similar Belvedere construction-fine lawsuits are moving forward and could establish broader legal precedent.
