Council members, Planning Commissioners and staff discussed the various items
suggested for discussion by the Council in the staff report. These included: over view of
the accomplishments of the Planning Commission and Department in FY 2006-2007 with
identification of the projects not gotten to; a `go green' strategy; and regulatory and
processing issues including second hand smoke in multiple family dwellings, use of wood
burning fireplaces, infill development, design review in the R-2, R-3 and R-4 zones, and
ways to organize to address potential problems and facilitate processing projects,
particularly those in existing buildings. As a group the Council members and Planning
Commissioners discussed each item.
At public comment the following members of the public spoke: Pat Giorni, 1445 Balboa
Avenue; Kate O'Brien; Susan Castner-Paine; Matt Campagna.
Following the public comment the group prioritized the issues identified, including those
carried over from FY 2006-2007, into three categories: those to begin work on
immediately, those to try to work into the program for the year; and those to reconsider for
another year.
First priority projects
• Downtown Specific Plan: Preparation of the Downtown Specific Plan
• Go Green Task Force: Establish a"Go Green"task force of Council and
Commission members to inventory current green and sustainable practices
CITY OF BURLINGAME JOINT CITY COUNCIL/PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING
UNAPPROVED MINUTES March 24,2007
and evaluate additional appropriate measures to undertake in FY 2007-
2008.
• Infill Development: Planning Commission review the current regulations
which apply to infill development and develop a policy and proposed
regulations to insure `no net loss' of residential units when new projects are
proposed.
• Design Review for Duplex and Multiple Family Development: Planning
Commission develop design criteria and amendment to the zoning
regulations for the R-2 (duplex) and R-3 and R-4 (multiple family) zoning
districts.
• Regulations for Existing Buildings: Based on the objective to balance
meeting life-safety requirements and to encourage the retention of existing
buildings, particularly in the commercial areas, development staff led by
Planning staff should review current regulations in terms of their impacts
on building retention and discuss with the City Council and Planning
Commission the findings. Any streamlining or adjustments would be
determined after review and discussion.
The Council and Commission members identified five items which, if there is time, should
be addressed as well.
Second Priority Projects
• Housing Element Update: Initiate work on the 2009 Housing Element
Update.
• Revise Condominium Regulations: Update and revise the Residential and
Commercial Condominium requirements, this might also include provisions
to address `no net loss' of residential units and isolation of individual unit
exhaust systems.
• Update Inclusionary Housing Zoning Requirements: Complete the
revision of the inclusionary zoning requirements to address changes in state
law.
• Zoning for 2001 Housing Element Implementation: Complete the Work
Program of the 2001 Housing Element, place an overlay zone in the Rollins

• Business Ambassador Program: Work with Council to develop a

SUBMITTED BY
APPROVED BY 1t
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
DATE: March 20, 2007
FROM: PUBLIC WORKS
SUBJECT: ADOPT AN ORDINANCE TO DESIGNATE 2-HOUR PARKING AT
1361 N. CAROLAN AVENUE (PUBLIC WORKS CORPORATION
YARD)
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that Council hold a public hearing to:
A. Adopt proposed ordinance.
B. Direct City clerk to publish a summary of the ordinance within 15 days of
adoption.
BACKGROUND: Prior to December 2006, the Burlingame Public Works
Corporation Yard used on-street parking to accommodate both employee and guest
parking for the facility. In October 2006, the City exercised its option to demolish the
adjacent building and convert it to much-needed employee parking.
The new fenced lot is used for employee and city construction vehicle parking. In
order to address the lack of visitor parking, the Public Works Department is
requesting the designation of three on-street parking spaces in front of the
Corporation Yard as 2-hour parking for visitors and other short-term parkers.
DISCUSSION: The on-street parking both in front of the Corporation Yard, as well
as the rest of North Carolan Avenue currently has unlimited time parking and is
being used by businesses on the street.
Based upon field investigations, staff has determined that there are no short-term
parking spaces available on North Carolan Avenue. The designation of short-term,
on-street parking spaces would be a benefit to the Corporation Yard and to the auto
businesses in the immediate vicinity.
SAA Public Works Directory\Staff Reports\Corp Yard 2-hr Parking Adopt.doc
In the future, staff will investigate the possibility of designating additional on-street
spaces farther down the street to serve as short-term parking for vendors.
BUDGET IMPACT: There are sufficient funds in the Public Works Department
operating budget to implement and maintain the proposed change.

5 The CITY COUNCIL of the CITY OF BURLINGAME does hereby ordain as follows:
6
7 Section 1 . The North Carolan neighborhood is a mix of uses, including automobile
8 service, supply stores, warehousing, public facilities, and manufacturing. Parking in the area has

RE:SUPPORT OF C/CAG SPONSORED SENATE BILL(SB)613
Dear Senator Simitian:
The City of Burlingame supports the C/CAG sponsored Bill SB 613 that would continue
to authorize C/CAG to assess up to$4 in motor vehicle fees. Please see the attached
resolution of support. The purpose of the fee is to continue a successful program that
funds management activities to reduce congestion to the benefit of the driving motorist.
It also provides funding for motor vehicle related programs of the State mandated
(unfunded)Countywide Storm water Pollution Prevention Program.
The first objective of SB 613 is to maximize the capacity of the current transportation
infrastructure through transportation system measures. These measures include ramp
metering,employer and local shuttles, Intelligent Transportation Systems, Real Time
Information Systems on the freeway, park and ride lots,and advanced accident
removal systems with automatic rerouting of traffic.Our City has received funds from
this program to address street resurfacing and signal timing. We have a member on
C/CAG's Technical Advisory Committee working on countywide programs associated
with the broader impacts of congestion in San Mateo County.
The second objective is to address the storm water pollution that flows to San Francisco
Bay as a result of the debris from motor vehicles.The storm water program is an
unfunded State mandate. Some of the programs that it will support include countywide
public education,grants to local jurisdictions,countywide monitoring and studies,and
training for City and County staffs to meet permit requirements.
Page 2....
The Honorable Senator Joseph S. Simitian
April 3,2007
This will provide an on-going source of funding for capital and operating expenses for
the storm water pollution prevention programs that are mandated under the Clean
Water Act but not funded by the State. Burlingame has received funds from this
program to address street sweeping, storm water pollution cleaning and storm inlet
cleaning.
SB 613 will be a financial beneficial to all the Cities and the County. Your carrying this
bill is appreciated and we look forward to working with you to gain passage of this
important legislation. Please feel free to contact George Bagdon, Public Works Director
at(650)558-7230 if you have any questions.

The Fund
The Local Agency Investment Fund
The Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF)is a voluntary program created by statute in 1977 as
an investment alternative for California's local governments and special districts and continues today
under Treasurer Bill Lockyer's administration. The enabling legislation forthe LAIF is Section 16429.1
et seq. of the California Government Code.
This program offers local agencies the opportunity to participate in a major portfolio, which
invests hundreds of millions of dollars, using the investment expertise of the Treasurer's Office investment
staff at no additional cost to the taxpayer. This in-house management team is comprised of civil
servants who have each worked for the State Treasurer's Office for an average of 20 years.
The LAIF is part of the Pooled Money I nvestment Account(PMIA). The PM IA began in 1955 and
oversight is provided by the Pooled Money Investment Board (PMIB) and an in-house Investment
Committee. The PMIB members are the State Treasurer, Director of Finance, and State Controller.
The Local Investment Advisory Board (LIAB)provides oversight for LAIF. The Board consists of
five members as designated by statute. The Chairman is the State Treasurer or his designated
representative. Two members qualified by training and experience in the field of investment orfinance,
and two members who are treasurers, finance or fiscal officers or business managers employed by
any county,city or local district or municipal corporation of this state,are appointed by the State Treasurer.
The term of each appointment is two years or at the pleasure of the appointing authority.
All securities are purchased under the authority of Government Code Section 16430 and 16480.4.
The State Treasurer's Office takes delivery of all securities purchased on a delivery versus payment
basis using a third party custodian. All investments are purchased at market, and a market valuation
is conducted monthly.
Additionally, the PMIA has Policies, Goals and Objectives for the portfolio to make certain that
our goals of Safety, Liquidity and Yield are not jeopardized and that prudent management prevails.
These policies are formulated by investment staff and reviewed by both the PMIB and the LIAB on an
annual basis.
The State Treasurer's Office is audited by the Bureau of State Audits on an annual basis and
the resulting opinion is posted to the STO website following its publication. The Bureau of State Audits
also has a continuing audit process throughout the year. All investment and LAIF claims are audited on
a daily basis by the State Controller's Office as well as an in-house audit process involving three
separate divisions.
1 Revised December 31, 2006
Under Federal Law,the State of California cannot declare bankruptcy,thereby allowing the
Govemment Code Section 16429.3 to stand.This Section states that"moneys placed with the Treasurer
for deposit in the LAIF by cities,counties,special districts,nonprofit corporations,or qualified quasi-
governmental agencies shall not be subject to either of the following: (a)transfer or loan pursuant to
Sections 16310,16312,or 16313,or(b)impoundment or seizure by any state official or state agency."
During the 2002 legislative session,California Government Code Section 16429.4 was added
to the LAIF's enabling legislation. The Section states that"the right of a city,county,city and county,
special district,nonprofit corporation,or qualified quasi-governmental agency to withdraw its deposited
moneys from the LAIF,upon demand,may not be altered,impaired,or denied in any way,by any state
official or state agency based upon the state's failure to adopt a State Budget by July 1 of each new
fiscal year."
The LAIF has grown from 293 participants and$468 million in 1977 to 2,612 participants and
$16 billion in 2006.

FROM: Jack Van Etten Chief of Police 5:�&) By Jim N ntell City Manager
SUBJECT: Increase the maximum charge allowed for valet parking
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends City Council adopt a resolution to the existing ordinance (6.30)
allowing Il Fornaio Restaurant/Lucas Parking Corporation to increase the rate in which they can charge for
their service from $7.00 to a maximum of$15.00.
DISCUSSION: In September 1998, City council allowed I1 Fornaio Restaurant/ Lucas Parking Corporation
to charge a maximum of$7.00 for their valet service. Since that time (nearly 10 years), neither Il Fornaio nor
Lucas Parking Corporation have requested an increase in the amount that they may charge for the service. In
February on this year, Lucas Parking Corporation wrote the Burlingame Police Department asking that the
price cap imposed on them be removed. They cited numerous factors that have led them to the point of
making such a request. These factors include but are not limited to: the increase in the minimum wage since
1998 (up nearly 60% as of January 2008), Worker's compensation insurance premiums and liability/theft
insurance have increased approximately 100% since 1998. Lucas Parking Corporation also cites other
"operational expenses"have also followed suit with the above mentioned increases. Lucas Parking
Corporation has requested that the maximum charge cap be removed from the existing ordinance (6.30).
After some discussion, staff does not recommend the removal of the cap altogether. Staff recognizes the need
to continue to monitor the amount which can be charged for this service to avoid the situation turning into a
profit center and to avoid any possible abuses. However, given the information provided by Lucas Parking
Corporation/I1 Fornaio Restaurant and the fact that there is no debating that all costs relating to this service
have increased substantially since 1998, staff believes that it is reasonable to increase the maximum cap that
can be charged for this service to $15.00. Therefore, staff is making the above recommendation (i.e. a
resolution to the existing ordinance 6.30). It should be noted that the only other peninsula city that currently
operates a similar service also regulates the amount in which the involved parties can charge. In fact, that
city's current maximum cap is the same as our city's ($7.00). As of early March, that city has not received a
request to increase and/or remove the existing cap.
EXHIBITS: 1) Attached you will find a copy of the resolution to 6.30 allowing Lucas Parking Corporation/I1
Fornaio an increase in their fee schedule from $7.00 to a maximum of $15.00 per vehicle.
2) Attached you will find the written request and a subsequent written document which provides
supporting factual information for their(Lucas Parking/I1 Fornaio)request.
BUDGET IMPACT: No fiscal impact to the city.
RESOLUTION NO.
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BURLINGAME
INCREASING THE MAXIMUM FEE FOR VALET PARKING SERVICE PURSUANT TO
BURLINGAME MUNICIPAL CODE SECTION 6.30.010(c)
RESOLVED,by the City Council of the City of Burlingame:
WHEREAS,Chapter 6.30 of the Burlingame Municipal Code allow a valet parking service
operating under a valet parking permit to charge a fee for the service; and
WHEREAS, a maximum fee of$15.00 would appear to allow a business to retain a parking
service and obtain parking spaces and meet the expenses involved in operating such a service,
NOW, THEREFORE,IT IS RESOLVED AND ORDERED:
1. Holders of a valet parking service permit issued under Chapter 6.30 may charge a fee of
up to $15.00 per vehicle for providing the service.

Sgt. Dean Williams
P.O. Box 551
Burlingame, CA 94010
Dear Sgt. Williams,
In order to further clarify our constantly rising costs, I have included some of our major operating
expenses going back to 2002. 1 do not have records going back to our original starting year of
1997, so we will just need to extrapolate from the following more current figures.
1) Wages - The rate we paid employees in 1997 had just risen from $4.75 to $5.00 per hour
as seen in the Industrial Welfare Commission printout enclosed. I have also enclosed my most
recent payroll summary date 3/10/07. Our current wages range from $7.50 per hour to $15.00
per hour. Our current exact payroll average is $10.51 per hour,well over a 100%increase since
we began. This excludes our mandatory governmental employer tax contributions,which are also
far in excess of what they were in 1997.
2) Liability and Theft Insurance - Our premium year that just ended in 2006 shows the rate we
were charged, $155.00 per insurable space. Just 4 years earlier, during the 2002 to 2003
premium year, we were charged $1 10.00 per insurable space. This represents an increase of
40.91%over this past 4 year period, or 10.23% per year. Again, carried over a 10 year period,
this also exceeds a 100% cost increase.
3) Worker's Compensation Insurance - Our rate for the policy period 4/1/02 to 4/1/03 was
7.767% of gross payroll. By the time we hit the policy period 4/1/05 to 4/1/06, our rate had
risen to 10.67%. This represents a 37.37% increase over the 4 year period, or 9.34% per year.
Carried over a 10 year period, this represents a 93.4% increase. Without the Governor's recent
assault on rising worker's compensation costs, this figure would have been much higher.
4) Best Value - The best value I can find in recent cost history is the rent I pay on my shared 10'
by 10', one room office. As you can see from the letter from my landlord, my rent rose
approximately 47% during this period. Although my partner and I would like a larger office to
share, we cannot afford to upgrade.
I hope this cross section shows the losing battle we are facing. We cannot continue to operate
unless we can pass our costs along. I must once again emphasize,we can and will only raise our
per car rates when we need to and to an amount that the market will accept and pay. Like
everyone else, our price ceiling is naturally built in by normal market conditions.

Burlingame Police Department
Jack Van Etten, Chief of Police
P.O. Box 551
Burlingame, CA 94010
Dear Chief Van Etten,
As you may know, my company operates the valet parking concession for II Fornaio Restaurant
located at 327 Lorton Avenue, Burlingame. We have serviced this location for nearly 10 years
now. As it has been explained to me, the City has a price fixing clause attached to the valet
parking ordinance. We request that this condition be removed based upon the following.
THE UNFOUNDED PREMISE
Many years ago, certain City officials must have felt that the presence of valet parking in the
downtown somehow posed a threat to downtown parking. The logic must have been that left to
operate under normal market conditions, the existence of valet parking would cause a massive
loss of available public space as well as a huge cost grip on those seeking to park in the
downtown.
ACTUAL IMPACT ON THE COMMUNITY
As valet parking operators, our impact on the parking space availability is ZERO. Every time we
valet park a car, it is taken off of the public streets and parked in space we lease from Cal Train.
I o go a step further, our impact on Cal Train customer space is also zero because we take no
actual spaces. We staff the lot and double park vehicles behind the already parked Cal Train
customers.
THE DOWNTOWN BENEFITS
Our impact is not just neutral. We are a greatly contributing asset to the downtown. Every time
someone chooses to use valet parking, open street space is created because our cars are taken
off street. This means that other neighbor businesses have the benefit of this open space for their
own customers. And since we open the service to all members of the visiting public, this provides
another choice for them. They may use the service at the same cost as all of the II Fornaio
customers at any time that is convenient for them. Or they may park as they would have if the
valet service was not available.

PAGE 2OF2
THE PROOF IS IN THE TRUTH
After]0 years in business at this location, we carry an excellent track record with the general
public, the City and the Police Department. And after 10 years, our lunch valet charge is still
$1 .00 underthe City price cap. Why did we not go straight to the maximum ratel 0 years ago?
Because we would have been put immediately out of business. Our situation is no different than
any other business. If we charge more than the market will bear, no one will purchase our
service. If Safeway's mandated City maximum charge for a loaf of bread was set at$20.00,they
would still price it at market value or be forced out of business.
FAIRNESS FOR ALL
Since we began offering valet service in Burlingame, through the end of this year when minimum
wages increase once again, wages will have jumped approximately 60%. Worker's
compensation insurance as well as liability and theft insurance have jumped 100%. Our other
operational expenses have also followed suit. All businesses toe the fine line between inflationary
costs to operate and the fear of raising their prices so much that they go out of business. We are
no different. As far as we know, we are the only business in the entire City of Burlingame that is
subject to price fixing. In the near future, we will need to raise our rates in order to continue
operating. If we cannot raise our prices when we feel it is appropriate, we will go out of business.
This would be a loss to the downtown. We ask only that we be afforded the same conditions to
operate under that all other Burlingame businesses get. Please remove these artificial price
controls from the ordinance so that we may continue to serve visitors to the downtown.
Thank you,
Ni�cl-3uc a

PUBLIC COMMENTS— None
OLD BUSINESS
A. Status of Bayside Park Restroom/Snack Shack Project
Director Schwartz reported that the Restroom/Snack Shack is in place and hooked up,
but more work is needed before the final permits can be issued. The hope is that
everything will be final and complete for opening day of baseball, which is next
Saturday.
NEW BUSINESS
A. Arsenic Update
Liz McManus, Associate Superintendent of San Mateo Union High School District
and Todd Lee, a consultant from Greystone West, hired by the School District were
present at the meeting. They reported that the District is moving forward with studies
on the Burlingame High School property with the Department of Toxic Substances to
identify where there are hotspots on the property. Todd Lee stated the plans to
eliminate the PCB, lead and arsenic contaminations from the property:
The source of the PCB contamination is a transformer in the back courtyard, which
was sourced, by an old pot transformer from back in the 40's and 50's. The
contamination is localized to the supporting post that is holding the transformer. The
cleanup for this contamination will take place over spring break.
The contamination of lead surrounds the main building and is due to painting that was
done years ago. There are 140 cubic yards of contamination around the perimeter of
the building. The cleanup will be done in June as soon as school is out. It will take
approximately 40 days to complete.
Parks &Recreation Commission Minutes
March 15, 2007—Page 2
The Arsenic contamination is on the front lawn and rear courtyard. The Department
of Toxic and Substance Control (DTSC) will be doing additional testing and will be
regulating the cleanup as it in progresses. The scheduled start date for the Arsenic
cleanup is June 18th. Care will be taken to ensure the health of the trees.
Commissioner Castner-Paine asked if the cleanup would impact the June Art in the
Park event. Lee and Schwartz both assured her that the cleanup would not affect the
event in any way.
Commissioner Shanus inquired as to whether or not the additional testing would
cause any delays to the cleanup. Lee felt that additional testing would prove there is
less contamination than originally thought.
Commissioner Hesselgren asked how far down into the ground contamination goes.
Lee stated that a maximum of six inches of excavation is done, the ground is then
tested again and gopher mesh will be place over the entire perimeter of the
contaminated area extending to the drip line of the trees. This will prevent any future
accidental digging in the area. DTSC has agreed with this plan of action.
Commissioner Dittman asked what is done with the "bad" dirt. Lee said it is hauled to
Kettleman City and that the removal company pays by the ton of dirt for the removal.
The project is estimated to cost $4 million and the School District is asking the State
to pay for half of that amount.
Commissioner Larios asked when the work on the artificial field in the back would
begin. Lee stated that the work was scheduled to start near the end of July with a
completion date of November.
Schwartz inquired if any Recreation programs would be affected due to the cleanup
and the work on the back field. Lee responded that the work areas would be limited
to the contaminated areas with a 50 feet perimeter around those areas. The fields
should not be affected. Noting that the pool is only 15ft from the back field and the
tennis courts are adjacent to the field, Commissioner Larios asked if these facilities
would be affected by the airborne dust. He asked if egress of the trucks would be
covered as they leave the area. Lee stated that the dirt will be sprayed before removal
and both the tennis courts and pool can be operable during the summer. Lee also
confirmed that the trucks would be covered once filled to minimize airborne dust.
Commissioner Muller inquired if there would still be access to the theatre. Lee stated
that certain access doors to the School will be limited and the front lawn and the area
around the courtyard would be off limits, but that access to the theater will always be
available. He also mentioned that a hygienist from DTSC will be on site during the
entirety of the project.

B. Adoption of Parks Use Rule Regarding Use of Private Barbecues in City Parks
Schwartz reported that the drafted policy is a pro-active measure by the City Manager
to provide for risk management. The list has been compiled for recommendation to
City Council to adopt.
Commissioner Muller asked where BBQ's would be allowed at Bayside Park and
questioned whether they should be permitted on sidewalks and if a fire extinguisher
should be required. She also asked if specific parks could be excluded from having
BBQ's. Schwartz stated that the Rule could prohibit BBQ's from specific parks.
Chairperson Dittman noted that people currently have BBQ's at Village Park near the
picnic tables within 50' of the playground area.
Commissioner Shanus suggested requiring cover and disposal bin on site to promote
safe conditions.
Commissioner Larios suggested requiring a permit for BBQ's in all parks. This could
be done easily by the Parks & Recreation Department and would give staff a chance
to educate the public about the safety issues associated with BBQ's in the Parks.
In order to give the Commissioners time to visit various parks and consider other
implications, the issue was tabled until the April meeting.
REPORTS/HAND-OUTS
A. Staff Reports
In addition to the attached monthly report, Director Schwartz reported that
Caltrans recently removed nine elm trees along El Camino Real due to Dutch Elm
Disease. Schwartz contacted representatives from Caltrans and reminded them
that past practice calls for Caltrans to handle replacements at a 2:1 ratio,
recognizing that some of the trees will not survive their first few years. The
current District administration initially balked at replacing the elms, citing several
reasons (cost of planting, past agreement only discussed eucalyptus trees,
agreement was made by previous administration and local agencies should take
over planting and maintenance), but ultimately agreed to a site meeting on March
15'x'.
On March 8th, Schwartz, while attending the Parks & Recreation Conference in
Sacramento, met with State Assemblymen Gene Mullin and also met with State
Senator Leland Yee. In addition to reminding both Mullin and Yee of the
importance of Parks facilities, recreation programs and the need for infrastructure
improvements (State propositions 1 C, 84 and 1 D), he also mentioned the need to
replace the trees per the previous agreements. Both members of the State
legislature volunteered to work with Caltrans Director Bijan Sartipi if needed.
Mullin understood the importance of the El Camino Real trees to the Burlingame
community. Yee's aide, Kirsten Wallerstedt, volunteered to bring the tree issue
up at their regular meetings with the Caltrans regional directors, Ruby Louie and
Gene Gonzalo, if the elm tree issue is not resolved to our satisfaction.
Parks& Recreation Commission Minutes
March 15, 2007—Page 4
At the March 15`h site meeting, Schwartz & Parks Supervisor Bob Disco met with
Deputy District Director Usen Inyang, Area Superintendent Robert Salazar and
Caltrans staff member Mariko Roberts. Inyang continued to express Caltrans'
interest of turning all maintenance and liability issues related to the trees over to
the City, "If the trees mean that much to this community then you should take
over the maintenance". Schwartz suggested that (1) Caltrans replace the nine
trees at this time and (2) both parties would meet to discuss the long-range
maintenance of the trees. Inyang stated that trees are a liability for Caltrans'
future and does not see any benefit to spending any money or"planting more
liabilities" until the City agrees to take over the maintenance responsibilities.
Schwartz said that a long-term Agreement cannot be done quickly, asked that the
nine elms be replanted in the meantime and his preference to handle this between
the staff members of the two agencies rather than having this issue go public and
political. Inyang stated that members of the public could contact him directly if
they did not agree with his approach. Salazar said that planting the nine trees
would not be difficult or costly, but the best time for the planting would be in the
Fall. Inyang repeated that Caltrans is making no promises to replant the trees, and
if the trees are replanted, there is no promise of size of tree to be used or that
proper maintenance would be followed. Salazar stated that 15 gallon trees are
typically used, but Inyang asked Salazar if the elms come in 5 gallon or 3 gallon
sizes.
Commissioner Castner-Paine thought that it was time to let the public know about
the problems with Caltrans so letters can be written as people are upset about this
issue.
Commissioner Muller mentioned that in Millbrae the sides of El Camino are
being filled in with appropriate trees and asked why this is an issue here in
Burlingame. Schwartz said that Millbrae is footing the bill for those trees.
Caltrans wants Burlingame to take over the replacement of the trees as many
other cities in the Bay Area have. The difference is the historic status of the trees
along El Camino and the long history of Caltrans' maintenance.
Commissioner Larios inquired as to what the liability is on the trees. Schwartz
stated that El Camino Real is impacted with homes, apartments, pedestrians and
cars that are a source of liability if a limb falls due to improper maintenance.
Schwartz also stated that if even one tree falls, he suspects many people will be
pressing to remove all the trees. Schwartz stated that currently there is no perfect
grid to say when to remove a tree or when a tree is unsafe. He would like to see
the trees removed and replaced due to health concerns (as determined by a
certified arborist) before they become a hazard instead of stating a magic number
of years of the life of the tree before you remove and/or replace one.
Commissioner Dittman feels that Caltrans is handling this issue poorly. Schwartz
mentioned that Burlingame's working agreement with Caltrans states that we are
informed by Caltrans when they will be removing trees and the dates the
replacement of those removals will take place. Unfortunately, the first we had
heard of this recent removal was from the neighbors.

C. Commissioner Reports
1. Commissioner Muller expressed her appreciation for the Commissioners
dinner.
2. Commissioner Hesselgren inquired as to the possibility of placing a top on the
recycling bins in Washington Park to keep the public from removing items
from the bins. (The City does not rely on the money from recycling bins in the
parks. Recycling from the parks is the same as resident recycling)
3. Commissioner Shanus updated the Commission regarding the BSD/City
relationship in that he has spoken with one of the school board members and
she will be attending a future meeting of the Commission. Shanus also
mentioned that a recent mis-communication between BIS and its parents
caused some confusion regarding the sponsorship of a "6th Grade Dance". He
is hoping there is some way to keep the parents informed better regarding
events that may affect them to avoid any future issues.
4. Commissioner Dittman reported that she has heard many compliments from
the public regarding the condition of Murray Field.
NEXT MEETING
The next meeting of the Parks & Recreation Commission is scheduled to be held on Thursday,
April 19, 2007 at 7:00 p.m. at Burlingame City Hall.

Reference staff report March 24,2007,with attachments. CP Monroe presented the report,reviewed criteria
and staff comments. Fifty-two(52)conditions including the mitigation monitoring program were suggested
for consideration. CP noted that on February 12, 2007, the Commission held a public hearing on this
multiple family residential project and continued the action until the applicant had responded to several
design and open space issues identified. The applicant submitted revised plans dated March 14,2007,and
notice was sent for a continued public hearing this evening. Commissioners had no questions of staff.

City of Burlingame Planning Commission Unapproved Minutes March 26, 2007
Chair Brownrigg called for a voice vote on the motion to find the Mitigated Negative Declaration an
adequate environmental disclosure and recommending both the Mitigated Negative Declaration and
Tentative Condominium Map to the Council for action. The motion passed on a 5-0-2 (Cers. Cauchi,
Osterling absent) voice vote.
Commissioners comments on the project: because of the proximity of the hospital entrance across the street
from this site would like to see all staging and debris management for this project done on site, applicant
should find alternate parking for employees and for storage of materials during construction if necessary.
Note that the exception for lot coverage is met because the area covered not only improves the quality of life
in the building by sheltering future residents and neighbors from noise from the access ramps to the parking
area below the building but also provides additional open space for the use of future owners; the front
setback variance is justified on the basis that a major objective of the North Burlingame/Rollins Road
Specific Plan is to increase pedestrian activity and life on the street, because the grade on this lot and
easement location resulted in the first deck of parking being at grade, the main entrance into the building
projecting into the front setback supports the objective of bringing more life to the street and encourages
pedestrians.
C.Vistica made a motion to approve the residential condominium permit,front setback variance,conditional
use permits for lot coverage and height for a new seven story 25-unit residential condominium project by
resolution with amended conditions that building materials for this proj ect shall be stored on this property or
managed from another property in the area approved by the City Engineer; that all employee parking and

indicated in the site plan which is sufficient space for approximately 25 bicycles; (39) that the removal of
trees, shrubs, or weedy vegetation shall be avoided during the February 1 through August 31 bird nesting
period to the extent possible. If no vegetation or tree removal is proposed during the nesting period, no
surveys shall be required.If it is not feasible to avoid the nesting period,a survey for nesting birds should be
conducted by a qualified wildlife biologist no earlier than 14 days prior to the removal of trees, shrubs,
grassland vegetation,buildings, grading, or other construction activity. Survey results shall be valid for 21
days following the survey. The area surveyed shall include all construction sites, access roads, and staging
areas, as well as areas within 150 feet outside the boundaries of the areas to be cleared or as otherwise
determined by the biologist. In the event that an active nest is discovered in the areas to be cleared, or in

removed shall be evaluated by a licensed arborist whose report shall be reviewed by the City arborist to
determine whether they are"protected trees"per Section 11.06.020 of the Burlingame Municipal Code and
whether a tree removal permit is appropriate. If any trees proposed to be removed are protected trees, the
City Arborist shall make a determination regarding the removal and replacement of these trees. As the
12
by of Burlingame Planning Commission Unapproved Minutes March 26, 2007
proposed landscaping plan includes the planting of 16 new trees, the City Arborist may determine that the
proposed landscaping plan is sufficient and no other replacement trees are required. (a) The Municipal
Code includes the following requirements regarding replacement trees; (b) Replacement shall be three 15-
gallon size, one 24-inch box size, or one 36-inch box size landscape tree(s) for each tree removed;and (c)
Any tree removed without a valid permit shall be replaced by two 24-inch box size,or two 36-inch box size
landscape trees for each tree removed; and (d) Replacement of a tree may be waived by the director if a
sufficient number of trees exists on the property to meet all other requirements of the Urban Reforestation
and Tree Protection Ordinance; and (e) Size and number of the replacement tree(s)shall be determined by
the director and shall be based on the species, location and value of the tree(s) removed; and (f) If
replacement trees cannot be planted on the property,payment of equal value shall be made to the City. Such
payments shall be deposited in the tree-planting fund to be drawn upon for public tree planting; (41) that
the project applicant shall be responsible for maintaining and protecting the existing on-site trees to be
retained. The following specific actions shall be followed to maintain the health of the remaining trees: (a)
Any pruning shall be done according to the direction of a certified arborist and all pruning shall comply with
International Society of Arboriculture, Western Chapter Standards or other comparable standards deemed
acceptable to the City Arborist; (b) Any abandoned utility lines (water, electrical, etc.) in the root zones
(radius of ten times the trunk diameter) shall be cut and left in the ground to the satisfaction of the City
Arborist; (c) Any surfacing material inside the root zone shall be pervious and installed on top of the
existing grade.As an example,pervious pavers are acceptable provided the base material is also sufficiently
pervious. Base rock containing granite fines is not sufficiently pervious; (d) Temporary construction
fencing shall be erected to protect the retained trees of a size to be established by the City Arborist. The
fencing shall be placed at the perimeter of the root zone unless the pavement is supervised by a certified
arborist. The fencing shall be in place prior to the arrival of construction materials or equipment; (e) The
landscape irrigation shall be designed to prevent trenching inside the root zones of retained trees; (f)
Supplemental irrigation shall be provided during construction.Approximately 10 gallons of water for each
inch of trunk diameter should be applied at or near the perimeter of the root zone every two weeks during the
dry months (any month receiving less than 1 inch of rainfall on average); (g) Retained trees shall be
thoroughly mulched with a 3-inch layer of bark chips with the exception of a 6-to 12-inch area around the
base of the root collar,which must be left bare and dry; (42) that as required by BAAQMD Regulation 11,
Rule 2, the proposed project shall implement preventative measures during demolition and removal of all
asbestos containing materials (ACMs)to prevent emissions of asbestos into the air. The proposed project

the proposed project, the project applicant shall ensure that they are installed and maintained according to
FAA guidelines; (45) that the applicant shall incorporate the following practices into the construction
documents to be implemented by the project contractor.These control measures,such as installation of noise
control devices (e.g. mufflers), selection of quieter machinery, and other noise control measures (e.g.
surrounding stationary equipment with noise barriers), all of which would not require major equipment
redesign. (a) Maximize the physical separation between noise generators and noise receptors. Such
separation includes, but is not limited to, the following measures: (1) Use heavy-duty mufflers for
stationary equipment and barriers around particularly noisy areas of the site or around the entire site; (2)
Use shields,impervious fences,or other physical sound barriers to inhibit transmission of noise to sensitive
receptors; (3) Locate stationary equipment to minimize noise impacts on the community; and (4)
Minimize backing movements of equipment; (b) Use quiet construction equipment whenever possible; (c)
13
City of Burlingame Planning Commission Unapproved Minutes March 26, 2007
Impact equipment(e.g.,jackhammers and pavement breakers)shall be hydraulically or electrically powered
wherever possible to avoid noise associated with compressed air exhaust from pneumatically-powered tools.
Compressed air exhaust silencers shall be used on other equipment. Other quieter procedures, such as
drilling rather than using impact equipment, shall be used whenever feasible; (d) Prohibit unnecessary
idling of internal combustion engines; (e) Select routes for movement of construction-related vehicles and
equipment in conjunction with the Burlingame Planning Department so that noise-sensitive areas,including
residences and schools, are avoided as much as possible; (f) The project applicant shall designate a
"disturbance coordinator"for construction activities.The coordinator would be responsible for responding to
any local complaints regarding construction noise and vibration.The coordinator would determine the cause
of the noise or vibration complaint and would implement reasonable measures to correct the problem; (g)
The construction contractor shall send advance notice to neighborhood residents within 50 feet of the project
site regarding the construction schedule and including the telephone number for the disturbance coordinator
at the construction site; (46) that the project applicant shall incorporate the following practice into the
construction documents to be implemented by the project contractor.The project applicant shall require that
loaded trucks and other vibration-generating equipment avoid areas of the project site that are located near
existing residential uses to the maximum extent compatible with project construction goals; (47) that the
project applicant shall include in the final project design noise insulation features that would effectively
maintain interior noise levels of 45 dBA or less; (48) that the existing sanitary sewer on site shall be
examined by the City after project construction to evaluate the pipe's condition. If the City Engineer
determines that the pipe is substandard or if the pipe has been damaged by project construction, the pipe
shall be replaced or repaired by the project applicant to the City Engineer's satisfaction; (49) that if the
project applicant does not provide a 12-foot wide driveway, the project applicant shall be required to
purchase maintenance equipment for the City that can access the on-site sewer easement through the
proposed 9.5-foot-wide driveway; (50) that per the City's Construction and Demolition Waste Recycling
Requirement, the project applicant shall submit a waste reduction plan that demonstrates that at least 50
percent of the construction and demolition waste can be recycled; (51) that the project applicant shall
design and locate all exterior lighting so that the cone of light and/or glare from the lighting elements is kept
entirely on the project site on or below the top of any fence, hedge, or wall at the site's property line, as
required by the Burlingame Municipal Code Section 18.16.030 (pertaining to light spillage off site in
commercial or residential areas).All wall mounted up-lighting shall be excluded from the proposed project.
All project lighting shall comply with requirements of the California Energy Commission and the
Illuminating Engineering Society of North America for illumination levels; and (52) that the following
provisions shall be incorporated into the grading and construction contracts to address the potential to
encounter currently unknown cultural resources: (a) Prior to the initiation of construction or ground-
disturbing activities, all construction personnel shall receive environmental training that will include
discussion of the possibility of buried cultural and paleontological resources,including training to recognize
such possible buried cultural resources, as well as the procedure to follow if such cultural resources are
encountered; (b) Retain Project Archaeologist. Since the project area contains a portion of one recorded
Native American archeological resource, and other previously unknown prehistoric or historic cultural
deposits may be encountered elsewhere in the project site during excavations, the City shall retain the
services of a qualified archaeological consultant meeting federal criteria under 36 CFR 61, and who has
expertise in California prehistory and urban historical archaeology; (c) If potential historical or unique
archaeological resources are discovered during construction, all work in the immediate vicinity shall be
suspended and alteration of the materials and their context shall be avoided pending site investigation by a
qualified archaeological or cultural resources consultant retained by the project applicant. The immediate
vicinity wherein work shall be suspended shall be approximately 50 feet from the discovery or within an
appropriate distance to be determined by the archaeologist or cultural resources consultant. Construction
work shall not commence again until the archaeological or cultural resources consultant has been given an
14
City of Burlingame Planning Commission Unapproved Minutes March 26, 2007
opportunity to examine the findings, assess their significance, and offer proposals for any additional
exploratory measures deemed necessary for the further evaluation of and/or mitigation of adverse impacts to
any potential historical resources or unique archaeological resources that have been encountered; (d) If the
find is determined to be an historical or unique archaeological resource, and if avoidance of the resource
would not be feasible, the archaeological or cultural resources consultant shall prepare a plan for the
methodical excavation of those portions of the site that would be adversely affected. The plan shall be
designed to result in the extraction of sufficient volumes of non-redundant archaeological data to address
important regional research considerations. The work shall be performed by the archaeological or cultural
resources consultant, and shall result in detailed technical reports. Such reports shall be submitted to the
California Historical Resources Regional Information Center.Construction in the vicinity of the find shall be
accomplished in accordance with current professional standards and shall not recommence until this work is
completed; (e) The project applicant shall assure that project personnel are informed that collecting
significant historical or unique archaeological resources discovered during development of the project is
prohibited by law.Prehistoric or Native American resources can include chert or obsidian flakes,projectile
points,mortars,and pestles;and dark friable soil containing shell and bone dietary debris,heat-affected rock,
or human burials. Historic resources can include nails,bottles,or other items often found in refuse deposits;
(f) If human remains are discovered,there shall be no further excavation or disturbance of the discovery site
or any nearby area reasonably suspected to overlie adjacent human remains until the project applicant has
complied with the provisions of State CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.5(e). In general, these provisions
require that the County Coroner shall be notified immediately. If the remains are found to be Native
American,the County Coroner shall notify the Native American Heritage Commission within 24 hours.The
most likely descendant of the deceased Native American shall be notified by the Commission and given the
chance to make recommendations for the remains. If the Commission is unable to identify the most likely
descendent, or if no recommendations are made within 24 hours, remains may be re-interred with
appropriate dignity elsewhere on the property in a location not subject to further subsurface disturbance. If
recommendations are made and not accepted,the Native American Heritage Commission will mediate the
problem. The motion was seconded by C. Auran.
Chair Brownrigg called for a voice vote on the motion to approve the project including the condominium
permit, front setback variance, and the conditional use permits for lot coverage and height. The motion
passed on a 5-0-2(Cers. Cauchi,Osterling absent). Appeal procedures were advised. This item concluded

calendar after incorporating the changes recommended by the Commission. Without a quorum, the
Commission cannot make a motion on this item.
ZT Strohmeier briefly presented the project description. There were no questions of staff. Two letters were
submitted: March 21, 2007 and March 26, 2007.
Vice Chair Deal opened the public comment. James Chu,55 W. 43rd Ave, San Mateo,architect,and Robert
and Cindy Gilson, property owners; Pat Giorni, 1445 Balboa, commented. Issues noted: existing fence,
drainage; and requirements for basements to exempt 700 SF of FAR. There were no other comments from
the floor and the public hearing was closed.
Commissioners had the following comments regarding the project:
■ Looks like front of house is sunk down a couple feet; looks like grade is going down to the house and
then up again, needs to be addressed; can do some sort of retaining wall in front of house to step down
into a flat landscape area;
■ Will the stone surround be actual stone?
■ The cantilevered stone chimney at the back of the house hanging over a stairwell does not work;need to
push chimney into house;
■ Will the attic vents stick out from the roof and will they have arched tops made of copper? Should show
on the side elevations;
■ Areas of flat roof could be eliminated;the flat roof area at top will break the 30' maximum line by 6"to
8", which should be easily solved with a special permit;because it is a small area, would be willing to
consider a special permit for height to mitigate the flat roof,
■ Note fencing on plans, including where existing fencing is to remain; and
■ A wood beam should be added to the corbels that frame the double doors at the left elevation;
■ Fancy window above entry door is a little small.
Because there was no quorum, the Planning Commission only provided direction. The Commission
suggested that it would be best for this project to come back on regular action with the provision to allow the
applicant to choose to go to a design review consultant. There was no motion. The applicant may decide to
either go to a design review consultant or to come back on the regular action calendar. This item concluded
at 10:25 p.m.

Chief of Police
March 2007
Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council:
Enclosed you will find statistical documents from the month of February, 2007. As always, please
note that the information contained in this police department report is displayed in both numbers and
percentages. Please remember that the percentages of certain crimes might've dramatically
increased or decreased in percentage (compared to the previous month or year). When reviewing the
police department report kindly also consider the actual numbers in various crime categories in
conjunction with the percentages. Even though the percentages may have increased or decreased,
the actual number change may be slight or negligible. Please feel free to contact me at anytime if you
have any questions or concerns about the numbers or percentages.
There have been some inquiries about the status of some of the emergency notification systems for
both Emergency Services Personnel and the Public. Roam Secure is being finalized on both the
Emergency and Public sides. The Public side of Roam Secure is on our website under the
Community link, Emergency Information/Community Alert. However, groups (such as Downtown
Merchants, Broadway Merchants, Ray Park Residential area, etc., still need to be created and the
system will need to be advertised for the public to sign-up. The Burlingame Police Department plans
to use the Public side of Roam Secure to provide crime information and public notifications to our
business districts and citizens. Citizens or businesses can voluntarily sign up to receive the
information. We are moving forward on this project and it should be up and running very shortly.
As we fast approach the summer, our community will begin experiencing a number of block parties
occurring throughout our city. I plan to assign officers to a number of these events, since the police
department has experienced a large turnover in personnel due to retirements. I believe this is an
excellent way for our officers (especially the new ones) to immerse themselves in our community, by
their presence, provide crime prevention, Neighborhood Watch and Emergency preparedness
information to our citizens.
As you know, the police department routinely and continuously receives information from the public
regarding a number of criminal, traffic and parking related matters. All of these matters are
immediately addressed, prioritized (based on the safety of the community), and depending on
staffing levels, handled in the most effective manner possible. When necessary, overtime is used and
(or) additional outside resources are also brought in to assist current staff with specific problems or
unusual criminal activities.

THE BIG READ: T6 Kill a Mockingbird
More than 40 programs are now in place for the month of April "To Kill a
Mockingbird" month. Burlingame will host the opening night program on
April 3rd, as well as two film programs, including the producer of"The N
Word" who will join us from Los Angles to talk about her film.
Calendars, bookmarks, booklists, posters and fliers will be ready by
March 15th for distribution to libraries, book stores, schools, colleges and
retail stores to advertise the event. We have already had one article in the
San Mateo County Times.
I will see to it that you receive the printed materials as soon as they are
ready. Information will also be available on our website:
www.plsinfo.ori/tkm.
Veterans of War, Veterans of Peace
On March 7th, the library presented a program based on the book
compiled by Maxine Hong Kingston: Veterans of War, Veterans of Peace.
Maureen Nerli, a Burlingame resident and former member of the United
Service Organization volunteer in Vietnam, brought a panel of authors to
the library for a reading from their works and a Q 8v A regarding their
war experiences. The event was a moving and important tribute to our
veterans and those serving in the war. There were Vietnam veterans and
Iraqi veterans in the audience which added to the poignancy of the
evening.
Budget Time
The library budget is nearly complete and is due to the city on March
23rd. We are hoping to increase some additional staff hours in children's
and reference, and add some hours to our maintenance crew. There will
be some increases in collections and databases, but otherwise the budget
will be very similar to last year. I did not ask for additional public service
hours; however additional public service hours are included in the List of
Unfunded Items I shared with you last month and with Council this
month.
Unlike previous years, the budgets will be presented in 5 minutes
segments by the Department Heads rather than presented by the City
Council members themselves. Department Heads may offer a one page
presentation.

Foundation Budget Wishlist
The Foundation has approved $ 60,000 in funding for collections,
children's and adult programming for 2007-2008.
1st Annual Foundation Author's Luncheon
The First annual Foundation Author's Luncheon will feature former
Senator.Jackie Speier of Hillsborough discussing the book she co-wrote
with three other authors, Mi_chaelene Cristini Risley, Jan Yanehiro and
Deborah Collins Stephens: "This is not the life I ordered: 50 way to keep
you head above water when life keeps dragging you down." The event will
be held on Saturday, May 5th at the Crystal Springs Country Club at
noon. Two hundred tickets are the maximum that can be sold. Letters
have gone out to former donors to request underwriting of the event. This
is the first of what the Foundation Board hopes will be an annual and
growing event. We expect this event to sell out based on the buzz so far!
Patron Ban from February Meeting
We have received a letter from Marika Matyus regarding her banning
from the library. It is unclear what she is asking for in the letter. City
Attorney, Larry Anderson and I are working on the next steps which we
feel should be facilitated by an outside agency such as Conflict
Resolution, due to the inflammatory nature of the previous encounters
with the patron. The ban on the patron is expected to expire on Tuesday,
May 15th, according the Board's February action. I will keep you posted
on any changes in this situation as they arise.
