SUBJECT: Presentation to Burlingame Certified Green Businesses
RECOMMENDATION:
Present the Bay Area Green Business Program certificates to the recently certified businesses.
BACKGROUND:
The Bay Area Green Business Program is a successful partnership between cities, counties,
environmental agencies and utility companies that assist, recognize and promote businesses and
government agencies that operate in a more environmentally sound way. To be certified "Green,"
participants must be in compliance with all state and local regulations and meet program
standards for conserving resources,preventing pollution and minimizing waste. This program
was developed in 1997 by the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG) and Bay Area
public agencies in collaboration with US EPA, Cal EPA Department of Toxic Substances
Control and the business community and is offered throughout the Bay Area.
The certification process included filling out a checklist provided by the County, site visits,
phone calls and emails to assist the applicants in meeting the water conservation, solid waste
reduction/recycling,pollution prevention and energy conservation requirements of the program.
The Green Business Program is a comprehensive program incorporating many aspects of the
environment and is effective at helping to make positive changes for our businesses and
community and is open to retail businesses, offices, hotels, motels, restaurants, cafes, auto repair
business, dental offices, printers, garment cleaners, wineries, and remodeling contractors.
Since Burlingame became a partner with the County in the Bay Area Green Business Program
last July, the program certified three businesses last February and this evening we add two more;
Re:Modern Design and Joy's European Tailoring.
The benefits these three businesses and other program participants enjoy include saving money
and resources by reducing the amount of energy and water used and garbage disposal; reducing
their impact on climate change; improving employee morale and creating a healthy workplace;
strengthening their bottom line through operating efficiencies and innovations; and recognition

SUBJECT: Public hearing amending Burlingame Municipal Ordinance 13.36.045 to allow motorcycles(parked in
angled street parking spaces)to place either the front or rear tire within 6"of the space curb or wheel stop to comply
with the law.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council hold a public hearing and take action to amend existing Burlingame Municipal
Ordinance 13.36.045,adding language that will now allow either the front or rear tire of a motorcycle to touch(or be
within 6")of the curb or bumper stop when parked within an angled street parking space to be compliant with the law.
DISCUSSION:
At the present time, section 13.36.045 of the Burlingame Municipal Ordinance only allows for the front tire of a
motorcycle to be within 6"of a curb or wheel stop within angled street parking spaces to be in compliance with existing
law.
Through correspondence that was brought to the attention of staff by a concerned citizen, staff discussed the safety
issues and reasonableness of allowing motorcycles to park in angled parking spaces facing outward with either the front
or rear tire within 6"of the curb or bumper stop. Staff felt that allowing either tire to be within 6"of the curb or bumper
stop,would clarify the ordinance and allow a viable option for motorcycle operators to safely exit angled street parking
stalls.
As a result, staff is recommending that the existing ordinance be amended,adding language that(in addition to the front
tire)the rear tire of a motorcycle can be within 6"of the curb or bumper stop when parked within angled street parking.
The introduction to this ordinance amendment was held on the previous regularly held City Council meeting of June, 16,
2008.
BUDGET IMPACT: None.

9 usually easier and safer for a motorcyclist to put the rear wheel of a motorcycle to the curb or wheel
10 stop and face the motorcycle out of the space. Motorcycles are an important part of the City's
11 transportation and parking system and should be encouraged as an efficient means of transport.
12 This ordinance would expressly allow motorcyclists to place the rear wheel or the front wheel
13 within six (6) inches of the curb or wheel stop.
14
15 Section 2. Subsection 13.36.045(b) (Angle Parking) is amended to read as follows:
16 (b) On any of the streets or portions of streets established as angle parking zones, when
17 signs or pavement markings are in place indicating such diagonal parking,it shall be unlawful for
18 the operator of any vehicle to park such vehicle except:
19 (1) At the angle to the curb or wheel stop indicated by signs or pavement markings
20 allotting space to parked vehicles and entirely within the limits of such allotted space;
21 (2) With the front wheel nearest the curb or wheel stop within six (6) inches of the curb
22 or wheel stop;however, an operator of a motorcycle who parks a motorcycle with either a front or
23 rear wheel within six(6)inches of the curb or wheel stop shall be considered to be in compliance
24 with this subsection;

2. Direct the City Clerk to publish a summary of the ordinance within 15 days of adoption.
The public hearing for action was noticed in a newspaper of general circulation (San Mateo County Times) on
July 11, 2008.
CITY COUNCIL INTRODUCTION:
On June 16, 2008, the City Council introduced the proposed ordinance to amend certain provisions of the
Sign Code. The Council, by a 5-0 vote, introduced the ordinance, directed the City Clerk to publish a
summary of the ordinance and set the date for the second reading of the ordinance on July 21, 2008.
Environmental Review Status:
The proposed changes to the sign code are Categorically Exempt from review pursuant to the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), per Section 15305 of the CEQA Guidelines, which states minor
alterations to land use limitations are exempt from environmental review.
Planning Commission Action:
On May 12, 2008, the Planning Commission reviewed the proposed changes to the Sign Code at a regular
study session. At that meeting, the Commission asked for clarification and made suggestions for modifying
the provisions regarding nonconforming pole signs (refer to attached 5/27/08 Planning Commission minutes).
These suggestions have been incorporated into the proposed Ordinance. At the Commission meeting on
May 27, 2008, the Commission held a public hearing on the proposed changes to the sign code and there
were no comments from the public. The Commission voted 6-0-1 (Commissioner Cauchi was absent) to
recommend the proposed changes to the Sign Code to the City Council for action.
PUBLIC HEARING AND ACTION ON AN ORDINANCE AMENDING TITLE 22(SIGN CODE). July 21,2008
BACKGROUND:
On May 2, 2007, the City Council adopted a comprehensive update to Title 22 of the Municipal Code, the
Sign Code. During the review of the proposed update, the owner of property at 1250 Bayshore Highway
raised a concern regarding the status of a pole sign which now exists on his property(refer to attached letters
from Mark Hudak dated January 12,2007 and April 4,2007,and from Dennis Berkowitz,Max's,dated April 3,
2007). The owner of this property,which includes Max's Opera Cafe and Holiday Inn Express,intends to file
a parcel map to split the property into two parcels.The existing pole sign would then be on one of the parcels,
but would advertise businesses on both parcels. Under both the previous sign code and the update adopted
in 2007, this would no longer be legal because it would be considered off-site advertising for the business
that is not on the same parcel as the sign.
At the Planning Commission hearing on the Sign Code update, the Commission directed staff to study a
possible future amendment to the sign code to address the issue raised regarding the pole sign. The
attached ordinance proposes to allow an existing pole sign within the SL(Shoreline),AA(Anza Area) and
APN(Anza Point North)zone districts to remain if a property is subdivided into two parcels, and to continue
to advertise the businesses on both parcels. However,there are limitations proposed on the use of the sign,
similar to the provisions that would apply to a nonconforming sign. In summary,the sign would be allowed to
continue to advertise the businesses located on the two parcels only under the following circumstances:
1. No physical alterations of any kind may occur except for replacement of the actual face of the sign
and maintenance as permitted under section 22.38.020.
2. Advertising is limited to the advertising of a person,product or service of an occupant of the parcels
created by the subdivision of the original parcel and only during the period of actual occupancy by
such an occupant.
3. If the sign is removed,it cannot be replaced.
4. No other free-standing signage may be placed on any of the parcels created by the subdivision of the
original parcel so long as the pole sign remains.
5. All off-premise advertising as prohibited in 22.40.040 on the pole sign shall be removed if any of the
parcels created by the subdivision of the original parcel are redeveloped by the demolition or
construction of any structure or any portion of any structure exceeding one thousand(1,000)square
feet or ten percent(10%)of any structure,whichever is greater. Following removal of the off-premise
advertising,the only advertising allowed on the pole sign shall be advertising of a person,product,or
service located on the one parcel on which the pole sign is then located.
6. The provisions of this section are recorded in a form approved by the city attorney on the title of each
of the parcels created by the subdivision of the original parcel.
Additional Amendments to the Sign Code: Since the adoption of the comprehensive update to the Sign
Code in May of 2007,staff has become aware of a few inconsistencies in the regulation of monument signs in
the RR, C-1 and C-2 zone districts, and an inconsistency in a reference for wall sign area in the RR, IB and
APS zone districts. It is proposed that in those cases where a parcel frontage exceeds 300 feet in length,an
additional monument sign would be allowed, and where the parcel frontage exceeds 400 feet in length,two
additional monument signs would be allowed, for a total of three monument signs. It was also discovered
that there was an inconsistency in the maximum height allowed for monument signs on certain similar streets.
Following ig n sL iimmnry of the nrnnnced changes:
C-1 and C-R zone districts:
• Allow two monument signs on parcels with at least 300 feet of parcel frontage.
• Allow three monument signs on parcels with at least 400 feet of parcel frontage.
• Increase the maximum height of monument signs on EI Camino Real from 8 feet to 12 feet.

City of Burlingame Item No.
Ordinance Amending Title 22,the Sign Code Consent Calendar
Meeting Date:5/27/08
Proposal: Amendment to Title 22 of the Municipal Code,the Sign Code to exempt certain pole
signs in the SL District from compliance,to amend the maximum heights allowed for
monument signs in the RR,C-1 &C-2 Districts,and to correct a reference for wall sign
area.
Environmental Review Status: The proposed changes to the sign code are Categorically Exempt
from review pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act(CEQA), per Section 15305 of the
CEQA Guidelines, which states minor alterations to land use limitations are exempt from
environmental review.
May 12,2008 Planning Commission Study Meeting: At the May 12,2008 Planning Commission
Study Meeting for this item, the Commission asked for clarification and made suggestions for
modifying the provisions regarding nonconforming pole signs(refer to attached May 12,2008 Planning
Commission Minutes). Following is a summary of Commission comments and how they have been
addressed.
• Clarify purpose of increasing the monument sign height to 12 feet.
• Identify examples of 12-foot high monument signs in the Broadway Area.
Planning staff would note that the increase to 12 foot high monument signs would not apply to the
portion of Broadway within the Broadway Commercial area(zoned C-1),but would apply to that portion
of Broadway between California Drive and U.S. 101 (zoned C-2 and RR),where the auto dealers are
now located. There are no monument signs in this area now,the businesses in this area have either
nonconforming pole signs or use wall signs to advertise their businesses. Attached are two photos of
monument signs for reference. The Bay Landing monument sign at 1550 Bayshore Highway is
approximately 10'-15"tall, and the Peninsula Hospital four-sided monument sign on the corner of EI
Camino Real and Trousdale Drive is 12'tall. The 12-foot high signs are proposed on those streets
with higher traffic speeds and/or where parking occurs along the street,in order to provide adequate
visibility.
• Concern regarding size of addition that would trigger removal of the nonconforming
pole sign(issue raised by Mark Hudak from the floor).
■ Should be allowed to be allowed to be converted to a single-identity, non-conforming
pole sign if desired by the property owner.
The text of the proposed ordinance has been modified to address the concern raised by Mark Hudak
that depending on the size of the parcel involved, a 1000 square foot addition may be minor, and
suggested that the trigger requiring removal of the sign be based on an addition which exceeds ten
percent of the floor area on the site. In addition,Commissioners noted that if the property which did
not contain the sign were redeveloped, the nonconforming sign should be allowed to remain and
advertise only the business(es)on the parcel where the sign is located. The ordinance has been
amended as follows to address these concerns:
"All off-premises advertising as prohibited in 22.40.040 on the pole sign shall be removed if any
of the parcels created by the subdivision of the original parcel are redeveloped by the
demolition or construction of any structure or any portion of any structure exceeding one
thousand(1,000)square feet or ten percent(10%)of the floor area—gross square footage of
the structures on the parcel,whichever is greater.Following removal of the off-premises
advertising,the only advertising allowed on the pole sign shall be advertising of a person,
product,or service located on the one parcel on which the pole sign is then located."
Ordinance Amending Title 22(Sign Code) May 27, 2008
Background: On May 2, 2007, the City Council adopted a comprehensive update to Title 22 of the
Municipal Code, the Sign Code. During the review of the proposed update, the owner of property at
1250 Bayshore Highway raised a concern regarding the status of a pole sign which now exists on his
property (refer to attached letters from Mark Hudak dated January 12, 2007 and April 4, 2007, and
from Dennis Berkowitz, Max's, dated April 3, 2007). The owner of this property, which includes Max's
Opera Cafe and Holiday Inn Express, intends to file a parcel map to split the property into two parcels.
The existing pole sign would then be on one of the parcels, but would advertise businesses on both
parcels. Under both the previous sign code and the update adopted in 2007, this would no longer be
legal because it would be considered off-site advertising for the business that is not on the same
parcel as the sign.
At the Planning Commission hearing on the sign code update, the Commission directed staff to study
a possible future amendment to the sign code to address the issue raised regarding the pole sign.
The attached ordinance proposes to allow an existing pole sign within the SL (Shoreline), AA (Anza
Area) and APN (Anza Point North) zone districts to remain if a property is subdivided into two parcels,
and to continue to advertise the businesses on both parcels. However, there are limitations proposed
on the use of the sign, similar to the provisions that would apply to a nonconforming sign. In summary,
the sign would be allowed to continue to advertise the businesses located on the two parcels only
under the following circumstances:
1. No physical alterations of any kind may occur except for replacement of the actual face of the
sign and maintenance as permitted under section 22.38.020.
2. Advertising is limited to the advertising of a person, product or service of an occupant of the
parcels created by the subdivision of the original parcel and only during the period of actual
occupancy by such an occupant.
3. If the sign is removed, it cannot be replaced.
4. No other free-standing signage may be placed on any of the parcels created by the subdivision
of the original parcel so long as the pole sign remains.
5. All off-premise advertising as prohibited in 22.40.040 on the pole sign shall be removed if any
of the parcels created by the subdivision of the original parcel are redeveloped by the
demolition or construction of any structure or any portion of any structure exceeding one
thousand (1,000) square feet or ten percent (10%) of any structure, whichever is greater.
Following removal of the off-premise advertising, the only advertising allowed on the pole sign
shall be advertising of a person, product, or service located on the one parcel on which the
pole sign is then located.
6. The provisions of this section are recorded in a form approved by the city attorney on the title of
each of the parcels created by the subdivision of the original parcel.
Additional Amendments to the Sign Code: Since the adoption of the comprehensive update to the
Sign Code in May of 2007, staff has become aware of a few inconsistencies in the regulation of

proposed changes:

12. AMENDMENT TO THE MUNICIPAL CODE TO UPDATE TITLE 22, SIGNS, TO ESTABLISH
NEW REGULATIONS FOR SIGNS-PROJECT PLANNER:MAUREEN BROOKS(NOTICED IN SAN
MATEO COUNTY TIMES)
SP Brooks briefly presented the project description,noting that the subcommittee had been working on the
sign code update for two years now,had studied the existing sign environment and made recommendations
on what works and what does not work. Subcommittee came up with the new regulations based on a new
approach which determines the overall square footage of signs allowed based on the speed of travel of the
street or public way on which the signs are located. Commissioners commented on the letter from Mark
Hudak regarding the existing pole sign shared by Holiday Inn Express and Max's Opera Cafe, and asked if
there is a way that this signage could be"grandfathered"under the new code. Planning staff clarified that the
pole sign itself is now nonconforming and can continue to be used. However, the off-premise advertising
issue would be created by the property when the property is divided and the existing two businesses are no
longer on one parcel. This is not a nonconforming situation,but a new situation which would be created by
the property owner's action subdividing the property.
Commissioners expressed concern with the proposed regulation which would prohibit awnings from being
internally lit,think it is too restrictive,is there a way to regulate so that the internal lights can illuminate only
the portions of the awning where the letters are located and no more, and the rest of the awning remains
dark. Planning staff noted that it is difficult to regulate the intensity of illumination, will look into various
methods used for awning lighting and report back; note that there is a limit on the overall area of signage
allowed on a site,is this the approach that was used for Fox Plaza;yes,the same approach is proposed in the
sign code update,where with a variance, signage can be moved from one frontage to another and the number
of signs can be increased,but there is a cap on the overall or total square footage allowed.
Commissioners noted that there is an incentive for two sided monument signs, each counted as a one sided
sign when determining is counted toward overall sign area,can we require that the copy on both sides be the
same? Planning Staff noted monument signs are treated separately from other signage(wall,projecting and
awning signs)and only one side of a monument sign is counted. CA Anderson noted that because the courts
have restricted regulation on content, could not require copy to be the same on both sides. Commissioners
asked about the use of artwork as signs,how would the new regulations restrict, do not want to discourage
that kind of creativity. Planning staff noted that some artwork is not regulated by the sign code,if it does not
specifically identify a business; if the art is determined to be a sign,it would be regulated in the same way it
is now,by its size and location on the site,roof signs would continue to be prohibited,but a projecting sign
could be designed creatively.
Chair Brownrigg opened the public comment. There were no other comments from the floor and the public
comment was closed.
Chair Brownrigg noted that this item will be brought back to the Commission on the action calendar when
the additional information is provided. The public hearing will be noticed in a newspaper of general
circulation, notices will be mailed to people who have expressed interest in the sign code update and the
information will also be posted on the City's website. This item concluded at 10:20 p.m.

6. AMENDMENT TO THE MUNICIPAL CODE TO UPDATE TITLE 22, SIGNS, TO ESTABLISH
NEW REGULATIONS FOR SIGNS -PROJECT PLANNER:MAUREEN BROOKS(20 NOTICED AND
NOTICED IN SAN MATEO COUNTY TIMES)
Reference staff report 4/09/07, with attachments. SP Brooks presented the report, reviewed the proposed
sign update and staff comments. Commissioners asked how news rack signage is addressed. Staff noted
that there is a separate section of the code which addresses news racks,including what can be displayed on
the news rack. Clarify that off premise advertising is currently prohibited by the existing code? Yes.
Chair Brownrigg opened the public hearing. Mark Hudak,216 Park Road, Wayne Levenfeld,representing
property at 1250 Bayshore Highway, and Dennis Zell, 1800 Ashton, spoke. Issues raised: proposed sign
code does not address all situations such as an existing pole sign advertising two properties when the
property is divided, can no longer advertise both businesses; suggest that language be added that would
grandfather such existing signs; sign at 1250 Bayshore was installed in 1960's when original hotel and
restaurant were built; be sure revised sign code addresses first amendment protected speech issues. There
were no further comments and the public hearing was closed.
Commissioner comment: concerning issue of shared pole signage being limited to one business if property
is divided is a unique situation; would not want to see more clutter by adding more signs, might consider
expanding the area where pole signs are allowed to areas adjoining freeway interchanges;there appears to be
a consensus that the work done on the sign code update is well done and the current proposal should move
ahead; thank the members of the subcommittee for all the hard work they have put into this; should go
forward with ordinance and send the issue of this particular situation back for more study,including whether
a special area for pole signs should be considered near freeway off ramps.
C.Brownrigg moved to recommend approval of the negative declaration and the proposed sign code update
to the City Council for action. The motion was seconded by C. Deal.
Chair Brownrigg called for a voice vote on the motion to approve. The motion passed on a 7-0 vote. Appeal
procedures were advised. This item concluded at 9:04 p.m.

Re: Amendments to Sign Ordinance
Dear Commissioners:
In recent weeks,the City Council and staff have made public promises about making Burlingame
more"business-friendly." There seems to be a growing recognition of the level of financial
contribution made by the business community through sales taxes and transit occupancy taxes
and an acknowledgement that these taxes makes it possible for the City to offer its residents
many of the facilities and services that make Burlingame special.
But the City needs to offer more than a slogan and a promise. Too often, a new business venture
is met with a litany of reasons why something will not work. If this is a serious change in
approach,the City needs to have the attitude that it will work with business owners to find a way
to make their ventures succeed.
The Commission has a good opportunity to put the"business-friendly"policy into action on
April 9. As you will see from my prior letter to Larry Anderson, I have been working with the
owners of the property that includes the Holiday Inn Express and Max's Restaurant on Old
Bayshore Highway. The ownership group wants to remove the pool that is situated in front of
the hotel and replace it with parking and landscaping. This will benefit both businesses and will
upgrade the appearance of the property. To finance these improvements,the owners will
probably need to split the lot into two conforming lots.
The only holdup is signage. For years,the businesses have utilized a single sign that is visible
from the freeway. If the property is split, one lot will end up having the sign. Technically,the
business located on the other lot would not be able to use the sign any longer. That would be
fatal for whichever business lost its signage, and so we have not been able to proceed with the
project.

To correct this anomaly, we have proposed a simple grandfathering clause as part of the overall
revisions to the sign ordinance. This provision would preserve existing signage when a property
is split, so that both properties could continue to use it. It would not authorize any new signage,
nor would advertising for businesses located on other properties be permitted.
From the public's standpoint,this provision would do no harm: the provision would apply to
very few properties and it would be difficult for anyone to tell when it had been applied. From
the business community's standpoint,this small change would have significant benefits. What,
then, is the objection?
I hope that you will review my earlier letter in this context. I am also enclosing a letter from the
owner of Max's Restaurant regarding the importance this proposed addition to the new sign
ordinance. I will be appearing at the meeting on April 9 to discuss this with you. In the
meantime,please call me with any questions.
Sincerely

Re: Sign Ordnance Changes
Gentleman
I am the president of Mar's Resta uants which owns and operates Max's Restaurant and
Sar at 1250 Old Bayshore Highway,Burlingame,adjacent to the Holiday urn Express
hotel.
Our ram^t has been a popular dining and meeting spot in that location for over 20
yesn. We pride ourselves for involvement with and service to the local community and
we look forward to continuing that relationship for a long time into the fimre. We have
j ust recently completed a$400,000 renovation of our restaurant as a symbol of our
continuing commitment to the community.
It is our understanding that our hndbd.,which is also the owner of the adjac m hotel,is
working on a plan to subdivide its current land parcel into two parcels,inchrfng ow for
ttte hotel and one for the restaurant. We further understand that the subdivision is an
eswniW part of&plan that will greatly benefit our business. One problem our business
bas always faced at this location is that when both the hotel and the restaurant are busy
Convenient parking is a challenge for our guests Even when the hotel lot is virtually
empty the lack of patting in the front area nearest the restaurant entry forces our guests to
park in away tgenerally behind the hotel)and to walk to the restaurant entry. This can
bave an adverse impact on our business with both guests for whom a long walk is
difacult and fur all guest on days when the weather is nasty. The landlord's plan would
eliminate the swimming pool at the from of the hotel,which is almost never used and
detracts from the look end stature of both the hotel and the mstaunmt by making the
complex look tike in old r'oaftda motel- The pool aro&would then be redeveloped into
parking spaces with a total inerease of 32—35 spaces. Landscaping in the Brant arca of
both lots would also be expanded and enhanced which we understand is consistent with
the City's coals. From Max's standpoint these now spaces would be extremely valuable
since they would alleviate the occasional parking shortage issue and wound more than
double the nt>mbe z of spaces near the front door entry to our restmnant_
it is our uW=tanding that the landlord's plan may not be able proceed as a result of
current code regulations for property Identification signs. Our restaurant business and the

hotel etmently share a large structtne that contains separe2e'signs for mo hotel and for
Merle's. We are told that if the land is subdivided a problem will arise since the ordinance
does not allow a sign on one parry's land to serve as the property identifteWon sign for
an adjacent parcel. Further,if Max's or the hotel were to bond a new sign on its own
land parcel the sign would head to be considerably smaller. This would not be ameptable
for either the hotel or the reslummt since a Smaller sign Would dearly have a negative
Impact on whichever business was forced to have it. Unless this problem is solved the
subdivision will not occur and neither will the important perking and landscaping
additions,and removal the unamr x;nve pool.
It is our umamtending that the commission is considering changes to the ordinance. We
urge that you approve a change that will allow for existing signs that amen ly service
more than one business to remain in plane in a gtaadfighered status whether the
btrsiaasta are all on lire same parcel or are on adjacent posvels. This change would allow
our landlord's very beneficial project to proceed. We see abwlummly no wiry in which the
city of Budingame or any of its residents and guests would suffer any negativa impact
from this,but,as disclosed above,our beaiums,otrt ewers,and community members
driving past the site and sexing the arddibon d landscaping and iraproved look,would all
benefit In fact,since our restaurant busaess would likely iucrewe due to the improved
look and parking availability,the city would 13mly earn additional revenue dire to
hocressed sales levels al the reataureat
I thank you for your consideration of this issue that is of great importance to Max's.
Please do not hesltart to call me directly if you have any questions or need additional
information.

Re: Silnt Ordinance Revisions
Dear Larry:
I understand that a committee of the Planning.Commission is studying amendments to the sign
ordinance. One area of concern for my clients is the treatment of existing signs that serve two or
more businesses when the property is subdivided.
Under the current ordinance, a sign may advertise only the businesses that are located on the
same property as the sign itself. Advertising off-site businesses is not permitted.
There are several instances where existing signage advertises.two or more businesses that are
located on a single large property. If the property is subdivided or undergoes a lot line
adjustment, the sign will inevitably end up on one parcel and will be in violation of the ordinance
if it continues to display advertising for the business located on the split-off parcel.
One particular instance involves the signage for Max's Opera Cgel.and the Holiday Inn Express
on Old Bayshore Highway. The property owner wants to make some improvements to the
property(primarily, to increase parking). To do so,he proposes to split the existing large parcel
into two parcels that could be sold or financed separately. One parcel will have Max's and the
other will have the hotel. Both parcels would be conforming under the new Bayfront Specific
Plan: No matter how this lot split is accomplished,the sign will end up on one parcel and the
business located on the other parcel will forfeit its signage.
This sign is critical to both businesses,given its visibility from Highway 101. Unless there is
some relief, we cannot move forward with the lot split and improvements that would benefit both
businesses and their customers. In short,the proverbial tail is wagging the dog.

We could avoid this dilemma by creating an exemption for existing signage in the new
ordinance. I would ask that the committee consider the following approach:
"Nothwithstanding any other provision herein, a sign that advertises two or more businesses
located on a single property may be maintained following a subdivision, lot split, lot line
adjustment; or other division of the property. In such situations,the sign may continue to
advertise businesses that are located on the parcel or parcels that were part of the property served
by the sign prior to the property division, including any successor or new businesses located
thereon. Such signs may be maintained,repaired, and replaced but may not be increased in size
or height beyond the dimensions in existence prior to the property division."
This exception would apply in only a limited number of cases throughout tfie city, so its impact
on the public health, safety and welfare would be minimal. On the other hand, the flexibility
would be an enormous benefit to the properties and businesses affected. The exception could not
be used to create new,nonconforming signs; only existing signs would be affected.
Please let me know if you have any questions about our position. I would be happy to meet with
the committee if that would be helpful. I would ask that you pass on this letter to them for their
consideration and let me know when the amended ordinance will be brought forward to the
Planning Commission for study.

ordinance also corrects references for wall sign area in the RR, IB, and APS Districts. In
11
addition, property owners with existing pole signs in the SL District are faced with irregular lot
12
lines and patterns of development that often require lot line adjustments or splits in order to
13
properly develop or finance the properties. This ordinance would allow off-site advertising of
14
the adjacent businesses on an existing pole sign following such a lot line adjustment or split, but
15
only under very specific circumstances and conditions.

FROM: William Meeker, Community Development Director— (650) 558-7255
SUBJECT: APPEAL OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION'S APPROVAL OF AN APPLICATION FOR
DESIGN REVIEW, HILLSIDE AREA CONSTRUCTION PERMIT, SPECIAL PERMIT FOR
A BASEMENT AND PARKING VARIANCE FOR A FIRST AND SECOND STORY
ADDITION AND NEW BASEMENT AREA TO AN EXISTING SINGLE FAMILY
DWELLING, ON PROPERTY AT 1790 ESCALANTE WAY, LOCATED WITHIN A
SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL (R-1) ZONE.
RECOMMENDATION:
The City Council should conduct a public hearing on the appeal of the application for Design Review,
Hillside Area Construction Permit, Special Permit for a basement and Parking Variance for a first and
second story addition and new basement area to an existing single family dwelling at 1790 Escalante
Way, and consider public testimony and the analysis contained within the staff report. Action regarding
the appeal should include specific findings supporting the Council's decision, and should be affirmed by
resolution of the City Council. The reasons for any action should be stated clearly for the record. The
City Council may consider two alternatives:
1. deny the appeal and uphold the Planning Commission's action approving the application for Design
Review, Hillside Area Construction Permit, Special Permit for a basement and Parking Variance for
a first and second story addition and new basement area to an existing single family dwelling; or
2. uphold the appeal, and modify the Planning Commission's decision by providing specific direction
to the project applicant regarding further changes to be made to the project.
BACKGROUND:
Project Description:
The existing two-story house with an attached, undersized two-car garage (18'-10" wide x 18'-4" deep,
clear interior dimensions) contains 3,070 SF (0.37 FAR) of floor area and has five bedrooms. The
applicant is proposing to add approximately 446 SF on the first floor along the right side of the house, to
add 226 SF on the second floor at the front of the house and to build a new 614 SF basement area with
a 9'-0" ceiling height (which requires a Special Permit). With the proposed first and second story and
basement additions, the floor area will increase from 3,070 SF (0.37 FAR) to 3,742 SF (0.45 FAR) where
the Zoning Code allows a maximum of 3,756 SF (0.45 FAR). Planning staff would note that the entire
basement area, 614 SF, is exempt from the FAR calculation). The proposed project is 14 SF below the
maximum allowable FAR.
With the addition, the number of bedrooms will be increasing from five to six (new library counts as a
potential bedroom). Three parking spaces, two of which must be covered, are required on site. The
existing attached two-car garage will be reconfigured to accommodate one covered space with clear
interior dimensions of 9'-5" x 20' and another covered space with clear interior dimensions of 9'-5" x 18'-
8". A Parking Variance is required for the second covered parking space (18'8" deep proposed, where
CITY COUNCIL MEETING—July 21,2008
Public Hearing—Appeal RE:1790 Escalante Way
20'-0"is the minimum requirement). Please note that the zoning code allows an existing 18'-wide
attached garage to count as two covered parking spaces. One uncovered parking space is provided in
the driveway(9'x 20'). All other zoning code requirements have been met. The following permits were
approved by the Planning Commission on May 27,2008:
• Design Review for a first and second story addition to a single family dwelling(CS 25.57.010);
• Hillside Area Construction Permit for a proposed addition in the hillside area(CS 25.62.020);
• Special Permit for a new basement with an interior ceiling height greater than six and one half(6%)
feet(9'-0"proposed)(CS 25 28.035 f);and
• Variance for substandard covered parking space length(18'-8"proposed on one of the two covered
spaces,where 20'-0"is the minimum requirement)(CS 25.70.020 b).
The latest Planning Commission staff report(dated May 27,2008)is attached to this report and contains
a detailed analysis of the proposal.
Environmental Review Status: The project is Categorically Exempt from review pursuant to the
California Environmental Quality Act(CEQA),per Section 15301 Class 1(e)(1)of the CEQA Guidelines,
which states that additions to existing structures provided the addition will not result in an increase of
more than 50%of the floor area of the structures before the addition.
Prior Planning Commission Action:
Planning Commission Approval:At its meeting of May 27,2008,the Planning Commission approved the
property owner's request for Design Review,Hillside Area Construction Permit,Special Permit for a
basement and Parking Variance for a first and second story addition and new basement area to an
existing single family dwelling on property at 1790 Escalante Way(see attached minutes). The
Commission approved the applications on a vote of 5-1-1 (Commissioner Vistica dissenting,
Commissioner Cauchi absent)with standard conditions of approval. The Commission also added the
following condition to address one of the neighbor's concerns about parking in the neighborhood:
Condition#3)that during demolition and construction of the proposed addition,the debris box shall be
placed within the driveway of the subject property.
Appeal of Planning Commission's Action: On June 5,2008,Jeffrey and June Kaufman,1760 Escalante
Way,Burlingame,appealed the Planning Commission's action(see attached letter),identifying view
obstruction and parking as the basis for the appeal. The appellant's concerns focus on the height and
location of the proposed first floor addition,and includes a request to see how the proposed first floor
addition would look if the height were dropped by an additional 8 inches.

City of Burlingame City Clerk
501 Primrose Road
Burlingame, CA 94010-3997
RE: Appeal of the Planning Commissions motion to approve
1790 Escalante Way Application
Dear City Council Members:
My name is Jeffrey Kaufman and I have lived at 1760 Escalante Way, Burlingame, CA 94010 for
over 30 years. I also had my CPA practice in Burlingame.
My wife June and I live next door to 1790 Escalante Way where they intend to build a new
basement, a first story addition and a second story addition. The owners of the property purchased
it approximately one year ago and to this date have not occupied it.
The first story addition will affect our view toward the bay. At present we have a filtered view
through some beautiful trees of the bay on a clear day and the room is where I do my exercise on
a treadmill. The proposed addition will not only block part of our view, but will be an eye sore.
The proposed addition is also going to the limit of the allowed setback of 7' from our fence,
which makes the obstruction that much more prevalent.
1790 Escalante Way property has virtually no parking around it, since it is the middle house in
the circular cold-a-sac. We are concerned that access to our garage will be impacted by the
vehicles servicing the construction. We are also concerned of possible water, drainage and
erosion affecting our property.
On May 12, 2008, the planning commission first suggested the roofline of the addition be brought
down by 12 to 18 inches and the motion failed. Then a motion was passed directing the applicant
to reduce height of the roofline by a minimum of 18-inches, with 24-inches preferred.
The Architect lowered the Story Polls by 16-inches which was not incompliance with the
Planning Commissions directive and then submitted revised plans reflecting a reduction of only
16-inches.
We feel that 16-inches is not enough of a reduction and would like to see how it would look with
a reduction of 24-inches. There is a difference when looking thrn„gh the Story Polls and having a
building in front of you.
We commend the work of the Planning Commission and appreciate their coming to our house
and seeing for themselves the impact of the project. We appreciate their support during the
process,but do not agree with their conclusion.
We humbly request your review of the project and its impact on us and the homes around it and
hopefully you will agree with our concerns and approve our appeal.
I have enclosed copies of the pertinent sections of the minutes of the Planning Commissions
meetings of May 12, 2008 and May 27, 2008. Also enclosed is my check#1606 in the amount of
$280.00 the required fee for filing an appeal.
Sincerely,
Jeffrey Kaufman

■ The reduction in the pitch of the porch roof is the maximum that could be achieved.
■ Uncertain if the space could still be useable with further reductions in plate heights and roof pitch.
■ Majority of the addition impacts views of trees.
■ Commissioner Vistica feels the design is fundamentally flawed, doesn't keep with the existing
vocabulary of the house; will not support.

family dwelling.
Applicant and Architect:John C.Lee APN:025-352-030
Property Owner:David Zhang Lot Area:8,299 SF
General Plan:Low Density Residential Zoning:R-1
Environmental Review Status: The project is Categorically Exempt from review pursuant to the California
Environmental Quality Act(CEQA),per Section 15301 Class 1(e)(1)of the CEQA Guidelines,which states that
additions to existing structures provided the addition will not result in an increase of more than 50%of the floor
area of the structures before the addition.
May 12,2008,Regular Action Meeting:At the Planning Commission RegularAction meeting on May 12,2008,
the Commission had concerns with potential view blockage caused by the ridgeline of the library addition(May
12,2008,Planning Commission Minutes). The Commission voted to continue the item to the Consent Calendar
with direction to the applicant to reduce the height of the library roofline by a minimum of 18 inches,24 inches
preferred,and to install story poles to reflect the revised height of the library ridgeline. Revised plans were
submitted on May 15,2008,to address the Commissions and the neighbors concerns. The revised plans
include a reduction in the proposed plate height of the library addition from 9'-1"to 7'-6"and a change to the
pitch of the library addition from 4:12 to 2.5:12. These two changes lowered the overall height of the library
ridgeline by a total of 1'-4". The story poles have been revised to reflect the lowering of the library ridgeline.
Project Description:The existing two-story house with an attached,undersized two-car garage(18'-10"wide x
18'-4"deep,clear interior dimensions)contains 3,070 SF(0.37 FAR)of floor area and has five bedrooms. The
applicant is proposing to add approximately 446 SF on the first floor along the right side of the house,to add 226
SF on the second floor at the front of the house and to build a new 614 SF basement area with a 9'-0"ceiling
height(which requires a Special Permit).With the proposed first and second story and basement additions,the
floor area will increase from 3,070 SF(0.37 FAR)to 3,742 SF(0.45 FAR)where the Zoning Code allows a
maximum of 3,756 SF(0.45 FAR).Planning staff would note that the entire basement area,614 SF,is exempt
from the FAR calculation). The proposed project is 14 SF below the maximum allowable FAR.
With the addition,the number of bedrooms will be increasing from five to six(new library counts as a potential
bedroom). Three parking spaces,two of which must be covered,are required on site. The existing attached
two-car garage will be reconfigured to accommodate one covered space with clear interior dimensions of 9'-5"x
20'and another covered space with clear interior dimensions of 9'-5"x 18'-8". A Parking Variance is required for
the second covered parking space(18'8"deep proposed,where 20'-0"is the minimum requirement). Please
note that the zoning code allows an existing 18'-wide attached garage to count as two covered parking spaces.
One uncovered parking space is provided in the driveway(9'x 20'). All other Zoning Code requirements have
been met. The applicant is requesting the following applications:
• Design Review for a first and second story addition to a single family dwelling(CS 25.57.010);
• Hillside Area Construction Permit for a proposed addition in the hillside area(CS 25.62.020);
• Special Permit for a new basement with an interior ceiling height greater than six and one half(6%)feet

Staff Comments: Staff would note that Condition number three (3) has been added to address the placement of
the debris box in the driveway during construction of the proposed addition. See attached memos from the Chief
Building Official, Fire Marshal, City Engineer and NPDES Coordinator.
April 28, 2008, Regular Action Meeting: At the Planning Commission Regular Action meeting on April 28,
2008, the Commission heard testimony from neighbors concerning view blockage, parking during construction
and impact to adjacent trees (April 28, 2008, Planning Commission Minutes). The Commission voted to continue
the item to the May 12, 2008 agenda, in order to allow the opportunity for Planning Commissioners to visit the
neighbor's property to observe view blockage. The Commission also asked that the City Arborist review the
plans to determine if there is a potential impact upon the neighbor's trees. No revised plans were submitted and
the story poles remain as were originally installed and surveyed. The City Arborist visited the site and
determined that there will be little or no construction impact to the neighboring trees at 3130 Atwater Drive (see
attached e-mail dated May 7, 2008). Please refer to the copy of the April 28, 2008, Planning Commission
minutes included in the staff report for the list of the neighbors who spoke and the Planning Commission's
-2-
Design Review,Hillside Area Construction Permit,Special Permit and Parking Variance 1790 Escalante Way
concerns.
Design Review Study Meeting:At the Planning Commission Design Review Study meeting on April 14,2008,
the Commission had several comments and suggestions concerning the proposed second storywindow over the
garage,the proposed bay window in the library addition and placement of the debris box during construction and
voted to place the item on the consent calendar when the plans have been revised as directed and story poles
have been installed(April 14,2008,Planning Commission Minutes). The designer submitted revised plans,
dated stamped April 16,2008,to address all the changes requested by the Commission.
Design Review Criteria:The criteria for design review as established in Ordinance No.1591 adopted by the
Council on April 20,1998 are outlined as follows:
1. Compatibility of the architectural style with that of the existing character of the neighborhood;
2. Respect for the parking and garage patterns in the neighborhood;
3. Architectural style and mass and bulk of structure;
4. Interface of the proposed structure with the structures on adjacent properties;and
5. Landscaping and its proportion to mass and bulk of structural components.
Findings for Design Review: Based on the findings stated in the attached minutes of the Planning
Commission's April 14,2008 Design Review Study Meeting,April 28,2008,RegularAction Meeting and May 12,
2008,Regular Action Meeting,that the addition is straightforward and well organized,that the architectural style
is consistent throughout the house,and that the project is consistent with the pattern in the neighborhood,the
project is found to be compatible with the requirements of the City's five Design Review Guidelines.
Required Findings for Hillside Area Construction Permit:Review of a hillside area construction permit by the
Planning Commission shall be based upon obstruction by construction of the existing distant views of nearby
properties. Emphasis shall be given to the obstruction of distant views from habitable areas within a dwelling unit
(Code Sec.25.61.060).
Findings for Hillside Area Construction Permit:Based on the findings stated in the attached minutes of the
Planning Commission's April 14,2008 Design Review Study Meeting,April 28,2008,Regular Action Meeting
and May 12,2008,Regular Action Meeting,and because the ridgeline of the proposed library addition has been
lowered by 1'-4", the placement of the proposed addition will not have a substantial impact on the view from the
adjacent properties or on the distant views in the neighborhood,and the project is found to be compatible with
the Hillside Area Construction Permit criteria listed above.
Findings for a Special Permit:In order to grant a Special Permit,the Planning Commission must find that the
following conditions exist on the property(Code Section 25.51.020 a-d):
(a) The blend of mass,scale and dominant structural characteristics of the new construction or addition are
consistent with the existing structure's design and with the existing street and neighborhood;
(b) the variety of roof line,facade,exterior finish materials and elevations of the proposed new structure or
addition are consistent with the existing structure,street and neighborhood;
(c) the proposed project is consistent with the residential design guidelines adopted by the city;and
(d) removal of any trees located within the footprint of any new structure or addition is necessary and is
consistent with the city's reforestation requirements,and the mitigation for the removal that is proposed is
appropriate.

Design Review, Hillside Area Construction Permit, Special Permit and Parking Variance 1790 Escalante Way
Special Permit Findings for Basement Ceiling Height: Based on the findings stated in the attached minutes
of the Planning Commission's April 14, 2008 Design Review Study Meeting, April 28, 2008, Regular Action
Meeting and May 12, 2008, Regular Action Meeting, that the basement provides additional living area below
grade that does not add to the mass and bulk of the structure and that does not intrude on the neighboring
properties, the proposed basement is found to be compatible with the Special Permit criteria listed above.
Required Findings for Variance: In order to grant a variance the Planning Commission must find that the
following conditions exist on the property(Code Section 25.54.020 a-d):
(a) there are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable to the property involved
that do not apply generally to property in the same district;
(b) the granting of the application is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property
right of the applicant, and to prevent unreasonable property loss or unnecessary hardship;
(c) the granting of the application will not be detrimental or injurious to property or improvements in the
vicinity and will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, general welfare or convenience; and
(d) that the use of the property will be compatible with the aesthetics,mass,bulk and character of existing an
potential uses of properties in the general vicinity.
Findings for Parking Variance: Based on the findings stated in the attached minutes of the Planning
Commission's April 14,2008 Design Review Study Meeting,April 28,2008,Regular Action Meeting and May 12,
2008, Regular Action Meeting, that the existing house was built with a garage that has an existing covered
parking space length of 18'-4"which does not meet current code requirements(20'-0"required length)and which
is being improved to better accommodate two covered parking spaces, and that the deficiency in covered
parking space length will not affect the ability to use the garage for parking a second vehicle, therefore the
project is found to be compatible with the Variance criteria listed above.
Planning Commission Action:The Planning Commission should conduct a public hearing on the application,
and consider public testimony and the analysis contained within the staff report. Action should include specific
findings supporting the Planning Commission's decision, and should be affirmed by resolution of the Planning
Commission. The reasons for any action should be stated clearly for the record. At the public hearing the
following conditions should be considered:
1. that the project shall be built as shown on the plans submitted to the Planning Division date stamped May
15, 2008, sheet A4 and A5, date stamped April 16, 2008, sheet A3, and date stamped March 28, 2008,
sheets A 1,A2,A6 and A7, and that any changes to building materials,exterior finishes,footprint or floor
area of the building shall require an amendment to this permit;
2. that the conditions of the Chief Building Official's September 20,2007,October 18,2007 and January 31,
2008 memos, the City Engineer's September 24, 2007 memo, the Fire Marshal's September 24, 2007
and October 22,2007,memos,and the NPDES Coordinator's September 24,2007, memo shall be met;
3. that during demolition and construction of the proposed addition,the debris box shall be placed within the
driveway of the subject property;
4. that demolition or removal of the existing structures and any grading or earth moving on the site shall not
occur until a building permit has been issued and such site work shall be required to comply with all the

ERICA STROHMEIER (CONTINUED FROM APRIL 28 2008 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING)
Reference staff report dated May 12, 2008,with attachments. Senior Planner Brooks presented the report,
reviewed criteria and staff comments. Twelve (12) conditions were suggested for consideration.
Chair Cauchi opened the public hearing.
John Lee, 711 San Miguel Lane, Foster City; represented the applicant.
• Visited 1760 Escalante and saw that the ridge is below eye level, and view requires a sharp angle
and is blocked by trees.
Commission comments:
• Concern regarding integration of roofline of addition and clipped off corners of library addition;
doesn't fit with architecture of property, or neighborhood;these concerns haven't been addressed in
the revised plans.
• Library addition protrudes into the neighbor's distant view; could the roof be at a lesser pitch to
reduce view impacts; consider changing roof pitch on addition to 3:12 pitch.
• Bringing ridgeline down is difference between approving and denying the project.
Public comments:
• Dana Wemple, 3130 Atwater Drive and Jeff Kaufman, 1760 Escalante Way; concerns about trees
impacts on property at3130 Atwater Drive have been relieved somewhat; remaining concern is that
excavation for basement is limited to only where the story poles are located; encouraged bringing
down the ridgeline will reduce view impacts.
There were no further comments and the public hearing was closed.
Additional Commission comments:
• Could be comfortable with a reduction in the height of the addition.
Commissioner Terrones moved'to approve the application by resolution, with the conditions included in the
staff report, and the additional condition that the ridgeline of the roof of the addition be brought down by 12
to 18-inches.
Motion failed for lack of a second.
Motion by Commission Brownrigg to continue the matter with direction to the applicant to reduce height of
roofline by a minimum of 18-inches, 24-inches preferred, and install story poles to reflect the revised height
of the ridgeline. The item may be placed on the Consent Calendar when it returns to the Commission.
The motion was seconded by Commissioner Terrones.

Erica,
Upon inspection at 1790 Escalante Way,It appears that there will be little or no construction
impact to the neighboring Pine Trees at 3130 Atwater Dr.. The construction will be at least 15
feet away,and outside of the neighboring Pine Trees dripline.

Commission comments:
■ None
Public comments:

the library; were provided; lies adjacent to their house. Expressed concern regarding impacts to
trees located on a bank along the rear of the property due to construction of the proposed
basement.
Additional Commission comments:

the property.
There were no further comments and the public hearing was closed.

Commission comments:
■ Nice job on this house, application is straight forward and well organized, typical pattern we see in
this area.
■ Would like to see new second storywindow over garage centered,or there could be two windows as
another option for symmetry.
■ A structural report and soils report will be required at time of building permit.
■ There is a benefit to adding a basement, it allows owner to add living space without intrusion on
neighbors, allowance that doesn't count toward overall FAR.
■ Project will make the garage more usable by removing intrusions.
■ Add a condition of approval that the debris box shall be kept on site during construction.
■ The bay window on the library will look better if it comes down to the ground.
Public Comments:
June and Jeff Kaufman,1760 Escalante, Leslie Hornstein, 1793 Escalante, Pat Giorni, 1445 Balboa, has
been a lot of construction on our street,which is a cul de sac with no parking, don't understand basement,
will they be digging underneath, concerned about excavation;the addition will be close to fence,can we see
story poles so we can see how massive addition will be. Excellent use of the basement space, , library is
counted as bedroom may or may not be used for one, two cars will fit in garage plus two cars will fit in
driveway.
There were no other comments from the floor and the public hearing was closed.
Commissioner Cauchi made a motion to place the item on the Consent Calendar when requested revisions
have been made and story poles have been installed for second story addition and library addition.
This motion was seconded by Commissioner Lindstrom.

NPDES permit requirement to prevent stormwater pollution including but not
limited to ensuring that all contractors implement construction Best Management
Practices (BMPs) and erosion and sediment control measures during ALL phases
of the construction project (including demolition). Include appropriate stormwater
BMPs as Project Notes. These BMPs include but are not limited to the following:
• Store, handle, and dispose of construction materials and wastes properly
to prevent contact and contamination of stormwater;
• Control and prevent the discharge of all potential pollutants, including
pavement cutting wastes, paints, concrete, petroleum products, chemicals,
wash water or sediments, and non-stormwater discharges to storm drains
and watercourses;
• Use sediment controls or filtration to remove sediment when dewatering
site and obtain all necessary permits;
• Avoid cleaning, fueling, or maintaining vehicles on-site except in a
designated area where wash water is contained and treated;
• Protect adjacent properties and undisturbed areas from construction
impacts using vegetative buffer strips, sediment barriers or filters, dikes,
mulching, or other measures as appropriate;
• Perform clearing and earth moving activities only during dry weather;
• Limit and time application of pesticides and fertilizers to prevent polluted
runorr;
• Limit construction access routes and stabilize designated access points;
• Avoid tracking dirt or other materials off-site; clean off-site paved areas
and sidewalks using dry sweeping method;

REQUIREMENTS
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the City Council introduce an Ordinance
amending Chapter 8.16 to require that all occupied properties have collection service and to
update the solid waste collection definitions and requirements by:
A. Requesting the City Clerk to read the proposed ordinance.
B. Waiving further reading of the proposed ordinance.
C. Introducing the proposed ordinance and directing the City Clerk to publish a summary of
the proposed ordinance at least 5 days before its proposed adoption.
BACKGROUND:
The solid waste collection in Burlingame has undergone a number of significant changes in the
past ten years, particularly with regard to recycling. This ordinance is intended to update the
City's requirements regarding the handling of solid waste, and in particular, to clarify that all
occupied property in the City must have a collection agreement with a City franchisee.
In preparation of this amendment, staff has met on several occasions with representatives of
Allied Waste, San Mateo County's Environmental Health Department and local merchants.
Copies of the proposed ordinance were also sent to the local merchants for review. If the
ordinance is amended as recommended, staff will continue to work with Allied Waste, the
County and the merchants associations to ensure compliance.
At the July 21, 2008 meeting, Staff recommends that the City Council conduct a Public Hearing
regarding the proposed changes. Staff will also be inviting representatives from Allied Waste to
address the Council regarding their new Cameras in Action program and other issues associated
with the solid waste collection.

generate leads, document healthand safety issues, and notify customers when
service adjustments are necessary
➢ Provides Drivers with digital cameras to take digital photos at customer locations
where containers are blocked, overloaded, damaged or when other unusual
circumstances have occurred
➢ Digital pictures have minimal cost that can provide maximum results and can
easily be transferred and stored in an electronic database
➢ Developed by Allied this program is used to varying degrees across the country
and was implemented in San Mateo County in early May 2008 with great success

BURLINGAME STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: July 21,2008
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL SUBMITTED BY:
DATE: July 16, 2008 APPROVED BY:
FROM: William Meeker, Community Development Director— Phone No. (650) 558-7255
SUBJECT: PRESENTATION OF CITIZENS ADVISORY COMMITTEE (CAC)
RECOMMENDATIONS REGARDING PREFERRED ALTERNATIVE FOR
BURLINGAME DOWNTOWN SPECIFIC PLAN BY SPECIFIC PLAN
CONSULTANT (KEVIN GARDINER & ASSOCIATES)
RECOMMENDATION:
The City Council is asked to receive a presentation from the Downtown Specific Plan consultant,
Kevin Gardiner & Associates, regarding the Citizens Advisory Committee's (CAC's)
recommendations regarding the preferred plan alternative that is intended to serve as the basis
for drafting of the Burlingame Downtown Specific Plan, and the accompanying environmental
analysis. At the conclusion of the presentation, the City Council should provide input to the
consultant regarding any other information that should be considered as part of the plan
alternative.
BACKGROUND:
In 2007, the City of Burlingame hired the consulting firm "Kevin Gardiner &Associates" to work
cooperatively with the community to prepare the Burlingame Downtown Specific Plan. When
completed, the Specific Plan will provide a framework guiding the future of Downtown
Burlingame; building upon the successes of the already vibrant Burlingame Avenue commercial
area. Generally, the study area for the planning effort encompasses an area bounded by
Peninsula Avenue on the south, Oak Grove Avenue on the north, EI Camino Real on the west
and California Drive and Anita Road on the east.
During the summer of 2007, the consultant team conducted interviews with citizens, business
owners, property owners, community groups and developers to gain a sense of the interests of
each of these groups relative to Downtown Burlingame. A survey was also sent out, and was
made available on-line, to elicit input from a broad base of the community. A Citizen's Advisory
Committee (CAC), consisting of representatives from all of these interest groups, was appointed
to assist in the development of the vision for Downtown Burlingame that will arise from the new
plan. Visioning workshops were held in fall of 2007 where citizens were provided further
opportunity to put forth their ideas about the future of our downtown.
JULY 21,2008 REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING
PRESENTATION-Burlingame Downtown Specific Plan CAC Recommendations
Working from the information gathered from the community workshops and CAC meetings,the
consultant team prepared a series of alternative approaches to future planning in the Downtown
area that were reviewed with the community at a third community workshop held on Saturday,
March 15,2008. At that meeting,the community was presented with alternatives that present
options for including residential development downtown,differing height and density limits,
possibilities for increasing downtown parking to accommodate new downtown development,and
development of new open space areas in the Downtown area. Over the past few months,the
input received from this meeting has been discussed and evaluated by the consultants,staff and
CAC and has been formed into the CAC's recommendation regarding a preferred alternative.
These recommendations will be presented to the Planning Commission on July 14th and to the
City Council on July 21st. Attached is a summary of the key points of the preferred alternative
that will be presented by the consultant team on behalf of the CAC.
The CAC's recommendations were presented to the Planning Commission at its meeting of July
14,2008. The Consultant's memorandum outlining the preferred plan alternative has been
modified, inserting(in underlined format)the Commission's comments into the text.
Additionally,an excerpt of the draft July 14,2008 Planning Commission minutes is attached for
your review. Following presentation of the alternative to the City Council,the consultant team
will proceed with preparation of a draft plan during the upcoming summer months. The plan will
serve as the basis for the environmental analysis that must accompany the document and be
considered by the Planning Commission and City Council prior to plan adoption. Successful
implementation of the adopted plan will require significant funding commitments(e.g.for
streetscape improvements,structured parking or other improvements). For this reason, a key
component of the final plan will be an assessment of costs attributable to proposed
improvements and a discussion of potential sources for funding. This additional information will
be included in the plan as it proceeds through the public hearing process prior to adoption.
Public hearings regarding the draft plan and environmental analysis will be held in late 2008 or
early 2009.
Please note that the presentation of the alternative is only another step in the process of
preparing the Specific Plan. As the Plan is vetted through the public process later this year and
early next year,changes are likely to occur based upon additional public input that will be
incorporated into a final,approved version of the Plan.

PREFERRED PLAN ALTERNATIVE
Citi.zens'Advisory Committee and Planning Commission recommendations
In March 2008 the City held a community workshop to consider major policy decisions that would
need to be made to support the goals of the plan that had been established earlier. Alternative plan
scenarios with variations in elements such as land use, building form, open space, and streetscape
were presented. More than fifty people attended the meeting and provided input.
During the Spring of 2008, the CAC had a series of meetings to further evaluate the alternative plan
scenarios. More extensive research was conducted and presented on each aspect of the Specific
Plan. On July 1, 2008 the CAC completed its recommendations of the key elements of a preferred
direction for the Specific Plan. The results of this process is termed the "Preferred Plan" and is
intended to provide the basis for a draft Specific Plan.
On July 14, 2008 the Preferred Plan Alternative was presented to the Burlingame Planning
Commission for comment. Several items have been added to this description following the Planning
Commission meeting in response to comments at the meeting. Most of these items had been
discussed previously by the Citizens' Advisory Committee, and all are compatible with the rest of
the preferred plan alternative. The additions are shown underlined in the text.
This document provides a summary of the recommendations for elements of the Preferred Plan.
HOUSING
• Housing throughout downtown;
• Housing allowed on upper levels in commercial areas (including Burlingame Avenue core) with
conditional use permit;
• Specific plan to outline conditions required for conditional use permits;
• Ground floor retail (or office, depending on street) required in all commercial areas;
• Small neighborhood-serving commercial allowed as a conditional use in R-3 and R-4
zones in southern portion of Downtown.
Discussion
Whether or not to allow residential uses in the commercial areas of downtown, including
Burlingame Avenue, has been a matter of differing opinions through the planning process.
Ultimately CAC members felt residential uses over the retail in commercial areas would be fine,
especially in places where there is existing upstairs office space that could be converted to residential.
New residential uses could be fine, although it could be challenging to accommodate the parking
for the residential uses. Typically residential uses demand on-site parking, which can be challenging
on small downtown parcels. There can also be compatibility issues because of smells and noises
related to ground floor retail, but given the generally quiet and orderly nature of Burlingame's
commercial districts, this could be managed. Residential uses could be allowed with a conditional
use permit, with specific findings related to downtown housing and compatibility. Housing would
only be allowed on upper floors; ground floors would need to be commercial in order to maintain
the commercial character of the downtown core.
1
CAC members were also intrigued with the potential for small neighborhood-serving retail uses within
the R-3 and R-4 residential zones south of the downtown core. Portions of these zones appear to have
good potential for housing,and while these areas should remain predominantly residential,the addition
of some small corner stores serving local residents could be an enhancement.
BUILDING HEIGHT
• Maintain 35'base height limit throughout downtown
• On Burlingame and Howard Avenues,retain the conditional height limit of 55 feet to
accommodate 4-story residential+retail mixed use or 3-story commercial+retail mixed use
• On Chapin Avenue,raise the conditional height to 75 feet to accommodate 5-story
residential+retail mixed use or 4-story commercial+retail mixed use.
• Retain the R-4 conditional height limit of 75 feet and the R-3 conditional height limit of 55
feet.
• In Auto Row,maintain the current conditional height limit of 55 feet.
• In the Anita Road area,reduce the conditional height limit from 55 feet to 45 feet.
Discussion
By many accounts,the existing permitted and conditional building heights have worked well for Downtown
Burlingame in creating an intimate scale but with the variation of some larger buildings mixed in. However there
are a few areas that CAC members felt had potential to be intensified,and another that needs protection,so
variations have been proposed.
Chapin Avenue has particular potential for intensification with taller buildings because there are no single family
neighbors and the north part of the street abuts the existing multifamily R4 district,which allows buildings up
to 75 feet with a conditional use permit. The street is very wide,with a right-of-way of 98 feet. Maintaining
the office type uses on Chapin and allowing residential above could work well,since office and residential uses
are very compatible. Taller building heights could be situated on Chapin between El Camino Real and Primrose,
except for the properties facing Primrose which should be treated more like Burlingame Avenue.
While Howard Avenue also has potential for intensification and its width could accommodate taller
buildings, some CAC members felt the combination of many smaller buildings and the nearby single
family neighbors warranted retaining existing building heights. The existing conditional use height of
55 feet would allow two stories of office over retail, or three stories of residential over retail.
For the R4 district, CAC members agreed that the district around Floribunda should retain its exist-
ing height limits. There were differences of opinion regarding the R4 district to the south of Howard
Avenue,however. Burlingame needs to provide more housing,and this is a good location close to
downtown,but some of the area is characterized by many single family homes, duplexes and four-
plexes with a lower scale. Care will need to be taken through the conditional approval process to
ensure neighborhood compatibility.
In the Anita Road area,lowering the conditional height limit from 55 feet to 45 feet would be
consistent with the existing neighborhood scale of small streets and existing small single family homes.
This would treat the area as a buffer between the downtown commercial district and the single family
neighborhoods to the east.

PARKING
• First Phase: Expansion of Lot A structure - additional level, expansion to Lot A3
• Possible future structures at Lots C, J, F and/or G as depending on future demand, development
of other parking lots, etc.
• Joint development w/ parking and mixed use at Lot W or sale of lot for revenue
• Re evaluate the boundary between Subareas A & B with regards to parking and land use
Discussion
Parking Lot A (next door to the library) and the adjacent Lot A3 would be the preferred location for
expanding the downtown parking supply, should that be needed or desired. The existing structure on Lot A
was designed to accommodate an additional parking level, and the structure could be expanded onto Lot A3
without needing additional ramps. A possibility would be to include retail space on the ground floor of the
garage along Donnelly Street.
Other potential lots identified for future structures include either Lots C,J, F and/or G. Development of
structures on any of these lots would depend on future demand and possible changes to other lots. For
example, if Lot E were to be converted into an open space (see open space section), it may be desirable to
build a parking deck or structure on Lot J nearby. If Howard Avenue were to intensify, Lots F or G could
be appropriate for structures, and conversely structures on those lots could encourage Howard Avenue
development.

There is also the concept of selling or creating a joint development arrangement with one of the lots in
order to generate revenue for other downtown projects such as a streetscape. Lot W on Howard Avenue is
a suggested location where a new mixed use development(perhaps with provision for public parking)could
generate revenue for the City and serve as a catalyst for further development in the area.
Additionally,there is interest in re evaluating the boundaries between Subareas A and B and developing a
mechanism such as a parking district to reduce or elimuiate on-site parking requirements on Howard Avenue
The mechanism could be further developed for Burlingame Avenue to allow a greater range of uses above
the ground floor,and could also be considered for Chapin Avenue

HOWARD AVENUE
• Promote more active retail on Howard Avenue and side streets by re-evaluating the uses allowed
on the street and the on-site parking requirements.
Diss fission
The 2006 Downtown Burlingame Economics Study identified Howard Avenue and the side streets as having
potential to accommodate additional retail growth in downtown Burlingame and this interest was explored
with a range of interesting concepts in the SOBA Charrette Additional retail space could complement
the existing mix of locally serving and regional retail uses downtown,creating additional diversity and
opportunities.
One way to encourage Howard Avenue to become a more vibrant street is to reconsider the uses that
are allowed on the ground floor,both on Howard and on the connecting streets between Howard and
Burlingame Avenue Uses which do not encourage pedestrians and street life such as office-type uses.may be
better located either on Chapin Avenue or above the ground floor.
The existing parking policies for Howard Avenue present a challenge for promoting new retail uses.as well
as other uses such as restaurants and offices Although the ordinance limiting the number of restaurants
on Burlingame Avenue does not apply to Howard Avenue restaurants must meet a higher parking standard
to locate there. Developing a mechanism such as a parkindistrict to reduce or eliminate on-sIlLparking
requirements on Howard Avenue would make it more feasible to develop new retail and commercial uses and
invigorate the area.

MYRTLE/ANITA ROAD AREA
• Create mixed use district in C2 area east of train tracks by Myrtle (Anita Road area) and adjust
zoning district boundary
• Designate uses allowed on each block to ensure auto-related uses do not encroach on blocks that
are predominantly residential
• Evaluate strategies to ensure orderly,paced development
Discussion
Creating a mixed use zone in the Anita Road area would rectify the existing situation of nonconforming uses
by allowing a zone where both the existing residential and commercial properties could be improved and
expanded. However,the plan should also set up some safeguards to keep auto uses from creeping further
towards Anita Road into the blocks more residential in character. The area could be regulated block by block,
with the existing auto uses in the area staying,but the blocks towards Anita Avenue emphasizing uses more
residential in character. Concerns over rapid redevelopment of the area could be evaluated to ensure changes
are orderly and occur over time.

AUTO ROW
• Auto-row with housing,offices,or hotel uses allowed upstairs as a conditional use;
• Auto showrooms or small-scale retail required on ground floor;
• Minimum and maximum floor area standards to be established for non-auto showroom
commercial uses.
Discussion
There have been interests expressed on the
part of some of the auto dealerships to allow
mixed use development along the California
Drive auto row. The concept would be to
continue to have auto showrooms on the A
ground floors but allow other uses such as .�
housing to be built on upper levels. While
the adjacency of auto retailing and service
with residential uses may seem odd,there
are examples where it has been done
recently such as Santa Barbara. However,
thought needs to be given to future ground
floor uses if the current number of auto
showrooms is no longer viable and vacated + '
showrooms need to be converted to other -
uses. Minimum and maximum floor areas`
could be incorporated into the plan to favor
the continuation of auto showrooms but not -�
encourage other large floorplate uses such
as big-box retail that would be incompatible

STREETSCAPE
• Single streetscape approach for all streets in downtown commercial area, but with
variations to respond to specific conditions, and subtle distinctions between streets if
desired.
• Maintain existing wide sidewalks on Howard& Chapin but add bulb-outs,improve the
placement and species selection of street trees,consider alternative configurations for on-street
parking, and adding other enhancements.
• Evaluate parking&open space median for Chapin.
Dismssion
There is tremendous interest in improving the quality of the streetscape in Downtown Burlingame,with a
preference for a relatively consistent design approach through the downtown commercial areas. There could
be some subtle variations to respond to specific conditions,and a few unique elements to define different
streets (such as different street trees) but overall the approach should feel consistent and unified.
Both Howard and Chapin Avenues currently have wide sidewalks which could be enhanced with bulb-out
extensions,landscaping,street furniture,and other design elements,but there does not appear to be a need to
further widen the sidewalks.
7
Given the very wide width of Chapin Avenue,an idea that merits further evaluation would be to create a
center island with either parking and/or open space. The open space could have some kiosk retail spaces that
could generate revenue for the City from rents or joint development,and could create a unique element for
the street.
There is also interest strengthening connections across California Avenue and the train tracks to Washington
Park,and also along California Avenue to Broadway. While California Avenue from Oak Grove Avenue to
Broadway is outside the Downtown Specific Plan area,its treatment within the downtown area could establish
the framework for subsequent city police.
OPEN SPACE
• Signature open space,preferably located at Lot E.
• Provide increased open spaces in the downtown at City Hall circle,California/Lorton, and
Highland Avenue.
Discussion
There is a strong desire for open space in Downtown Burlingame,particularly a"signature" focal
point akin to the town squares and greens seen elsewhere. The concept of developing one of the
downtown parking lots into a signature open space is intriguing given the central location of the lots
and that the City controls them. Parking could be relocated nearby structure in conjunction with the
development of parking structures.
Lot E is a favored choice for creating a signature open space because of its central location between
Burlingame and Howard Avenues and its adjacency to the post office. If the post office operations
were to ever move elsewhere, the post office building could be adaptively reused as a civic use. Even
if the post office were to stay,there may be possibilities to make an arrangement to swap its parking
lot with its relatively unused lawn area so that a park on Lot E could be enlarged. Building facades
facing the former parking lot/new park would be improved over time to enhance the appearance of
the open space.

There are also possibilities for creating smaller,more intimate open spaces as part of reconfigured
street patterns within City rights-of-way. Possibilities include the circle on Primrose Road in front
of City Hall and the Library, the intersection of Lorton Avenue and California Dive next to Stack's,
and last block of Highland Avenue between California Drive and Howard Avenue. The advantage
is that each project could improve traffic circulation and make better use of land area to create an
open space amenity.

DESIGN REVIEW, COMMUNITY CHARACTER,AND HISTORIC RESOURCES
• Require design review for all facade changes in downtown area,with smaller projects reviewed
by staff and larger ones by the Planning Commission.
• Develop incentives for preserving,rehabilitating or renovating historic resources including
adaptive re-use.
Discussion
Currently the Planning Commission reviews projects which include changing more than 50% of
any facade facing a street or parking lot,and changing any portion of a facade facing a street or
parking lot in Subarea A. However, there is a desire to increase the level of design review to ensure
community character is maintained and design quality is high. CAC members would like to ensure
that all downtown projects go through a design review process either on the staff or Planning
Commission level, and the Planning Commission expressed an interest in having design review for
more downtownroj�cts.
On smaller projects, staff may be able to carry out more of the review, following design guide-
lines specific for Downtown. They could alternatively review a project, send it to the Planning
Commission as an informational or study item, and use the Commission for appeals.
All projects would be subject to design review,whether identified as an historic resource or not.
The intent would be to promote design quality for all downtown projects.
The plan will also recommend incentives for property owners to preserve,rehabilitate or renovate
historic resources. These incentives could include use of the California Historical Building Code, as
well as modifications to development standards such as on-site parking requirements and setbacks.
In addition, the plan can lay the framework for participation in the Mills Act.

8. PRESENTATION OF THE PREFERRED ALTERNATIVE FOR THE DOWNTOWN SPECIFIC PLAN —
STAFF CONTACT: WILLIAM MEEKER
Reference staff report dated July 14, 2008, with attachments. Community Development Director Meeker
introduced Kevin Gardiner and Matt Flynn of Kevin Gardiner&Associates, and described the purpose of the
presentation; an update to the Planning Commission regarding the recommendations of the Citizens
Advisory Committee (CAC) regarding the Burlingame Downtown Specific Plan.
Mr. Gardiner presented the CAC recommendations.
Chair Cauchi opened the public hearing.
Public comments:
Pat Giorni, 1445 Balboa Avenue; John Root, 27 Crossway Road; Jennifer Pfaff, 615 Bayswater Avenue;
Charles Voltz, 755 Vernon Way; Stephen Hamilton, 105 Crescent Avenue; Joe Putnam, 3 California Drive;
and Sarah Mahorter, 816 Peninsula Avenue spoke:
■ Thanked citizens for their input.
■ Applauded the idea of housing downtown.
■ A 75-foot height limit allows a lot of building. Feels that 75-foot heights start to say"small city"; we
are a small town. Once we begin approaching 55-feet, we will start to look like parts of San Mateo
and Millbrae; will start to lose some of the human scale that currently exists downtown. Feels 55-
feet should be the maximum height allowed. This has, in theory been allowed since 1955, however,
very few buildings of this height have been built. If other development standards are revised, this
could encourage taller developments.
■ The north end of the City is the appropriate place to add more people. If we build opportunities,
more people will come.
■ Noted that high-speed rail ballot measure may pass; if it does, there will be grade separation that
could affect commercial uses on the east side of the railroad; this must be taken into consideration.
Noise is an issue; when electrification arrives, CalTrain is planning to run up to twelve trains per
hour during peak time; where housing is placed should take into account this change.
• The plans for California Drive open space(near Stacks)would improve traffic conditions in the area.
■ It should be easier for future development to occur since there will be a current vision of how we
wish to have development proceed.
• Design review downtown is important; need to have some oversight. The proposed Building heights
have existed for years (in most instances), will not raise height limits except for a small portion of
Chapin Avenue.
■ The specific plan process has been a good process.
• Expressed concern regarding the City's separation of the Safeway Working Group and the
Downtown Specific Plan processes. Has resulted in a"no man's land"; underground parking is not
being addressed by either group. The Safeway site will encompass the largest development in the
downtown. Parking is a nexus that must be addressed. The current configuration of parking lots
could not accommodate a single large structure,with the possible exception of the lots adjacent to
the Library. It is conceivable that the Safeway site could accommodate an underground lot of a
sufficient size. There is no place for this approach to parking to be evaluated in either of the
11
CITY OF BURLINGAME PLANNING COMMISSION—Unapproved Minutes July 14,2008
processes. Encouraged the Commission to look at the issue. Look at values of existing parking lot
assets that could be sold,or otherwise leveraged to obtain funds for a large underground parking
lot.
• Regarding property at 1100 Peninsula Avenue(vehicle storage for Putnam Volvo). Pointed out that
it is currently used for storage purposes,but is zoned for residential use. Seems inconsistent and
perhaps unfair to limit height to 55-feet on this property. Financial institutions are more thorough
than in the past,and are looking at the value of assets much more closely,if the height limit changes
for this property,it will affect its value. Need the 75-foot height limit,will affect the ability for the
business to function financially. Encouraged changing the 75-foot height limit to encompass the
property in question. Supports placing housing uses over auto showroom uses.
• Encouraged policies to ensure that Burlingame is a safe place for bicyclists.
Commission comments:
• Noted that CAC looked very closely at each of the subject areas presented by the consultant;height
limits weren't arbitrarily recommended,but were thought through. All issues that were addressed by
CAC necessarily must work within the framework of other aspects of the planning for the downtown
area,all issues must work together to meet the overall requirements of the specific plan.
• With respect to streetscape;the CAC looked closely at tree placement and species selection,this
needs to be addressed in the plan.
• Evaluation of line between Subareas A and B; need to capture a potential re-evaluation of this
dividing line,or whether such a differentiation needs to exist.
• Neighborhood serving commercial uses,needed in area south of downtown,but also why not in the
other areas. Mixed-use in the Anita Road/Myrtle Road area should also be an option.
• Not particularly supportive of having the post office eliminated as a use downtown,thinks it is a
good,walkable downtown use,but site could use some reworking.
• Very little has happened with past planning efforts in the City. The Plan needs to also focus on how
investment/development in the area can occur and be encouraged;particularly with City assets such
as the parking lots.
• Howard Avenue does not appear to be fully analyzed;what is the vision for Howard Avenue,this
must be addressed;how will it be enlivened.
• With respect to parking,the recommendations don't appear to specifically support underground
parking;the CAC should go on record as stating a position regarding this issue. Don't leave things
off the table because the CAC doesn't think it can be done. Where do the employees park;where is
long term parking. The parking scheme is not revolutionary. Make certain that adequate parking
exists. Be more aggressive with parking solutions to ensure adequate parking exists and to promote
investment in the downtown.
• Encouraged housing downtown, but provide affordable opportunities. Consider ownership;
condominiums versus rental.
• Should the guidelines be continued along California Drive northward,outside of the study area.
• Design review should be required for all projects within the Downtown area.
• Need to identify funding sources and cost for improvements.
• With respect to Howard and Chapin,the CAC did discuss connections between the areas;amenities
(e.g.open space opportunities,etc.)that keep you moving through the area.
There were no further comments and the public hearing was closed.
No action was required. All comments are noted by the consultant team and will be included with the
information presented to the City Council on July 21,2008.

SUBJECT: PARKS & RECREATION COMMISSION VACANCIES
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that Council call for applications to fill Commissioner Peter Comaroto's unexpired term
on the Parks and Recreation Commission, as well as the three-year term that would begin when
Commissioner Comaroto's term was due to expire on October 7, 2008. The recommended due date for
applications is August 15, 2008.
In order to avoid having to go through the appointment process again shortly after this appointment, it is
also recommended that the Council consider interviewing to fill Commissioners Laura Hesselgren's and
Michael Shanus' seats on the Commission which are also due to expire on October 7, 2008. This would
avoid having interested candidates having to apply and interview twice in the space of a month or so.
BACKGROUND:
Our current commissioner appointment procedure calls for any commissioner desiring reappointment to
apply in the same manner as all other candidates. Commissioners Hesselgren and Shanus would be
invited to reapply if they wish to serve again. In addition, all past applicants on the two-year wait list will be
informed of the vacancies.

Madam Mayor, .
It has been with great pleasure and gratitude that I have served, The Council and
Community, over the last 1 '/a years as a Parks and Recreation Commissioner. The
Commission and Council have accomplished many things together.

is very important to me that our Parks and Recreation Commission is not adversely
impacted, as I feel it is a cornerstone of our community.
After thoughtful consideration and effective immediately, I am submitting my
resignation. If you would like me to stay until a replacement is found, I am happy to do
SO.

Thank you for your time.

SUBJECT: RESOLUTION APPROVING PROFESSIONAL SERVICES
AGREEMENT WITH ERLER & KALINOWSKI, INC. FOR FY2008-09
WATER SYSTEM PROGRAM MANAGEMENT AND MASTER PLAN
UPDATE, CITY PROJECT NO. 82300
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that Council approve the attached
resolution for a professional services agreement with Erler & Kalinowski, Inc. (EKI)
for water system program management and master plan update in the amount of
$300,000.
BACKGROUND: In July 2002, the Council approved an accelerated water system
Capital Improvement Program (CIP) to upgrade the 100 year old deteriorating water
system. The CIP program represented a 900% increase in the budget for water
system improvements over previous years. Administering this size of program
required consultant support so that staff would continue to have the capacity to
administer the remainder of the CIP program.
In July 2002, EKI was selected to provide program management services through an
extensive consultant selection process and has been successfully providing
professional services for the last five years.
DISCUSSION: Staff has negotiated the scope of services in the amount of
$300,000 for the FY2008-09 Water System Program Management. The fee amount
represents approximately 6% of the overall $4,500,000 water capital improvement
program and is within industry standard of 5-7% range for this type of work.
The scope of professional services includes the following:
• Evaluate the water system operations and update the hydraulic model.
• Update the water system CIP master plan to reflect recent changes in fire
flow requirements.
• Assist in managing CIP Projects.
• Negotiate and manage consultant and construction contracts for the CIP
program.
• Assist the City in negotiating with San Francisco Public Utility Commission
for to avoid impacts from Crystal Springs # 2 replacement project.
SAA Public Works Directory\Staff Reports\82300 EKI .doc
Staff believes that utilizing EKI as a program manager is in the best interest of the
City for the following reasons:
• EKI has successfully provided program management services for the
previous five years and their fee continues to be within industry standards.
• EKI has gained significant institutional knowledge of the City's water system
needs.
• As a multi-disciplinary engineering firm, EKI brings multiple technical
resources to the program.
• EKI's management of the program has resulted in successful replacement
of over 20 miles of deteriorated water pipelines with minimal disruption to
affected residents.
BUDGET IMPACT: There is sufficient funding available in the FY2008-09 CIP
budget for this effort.

EXHIBIT A
Scope of Work for
Program Management of the Water System and Capital Improvements Program
Fiscal Year 2008-2009
The City of Burlingame ("City") is retaining Erler & Kalinowski, Inc. ("Consultant") to continue
services as Program Manager to assist the City with implementing a multi-year potable water
system improvement program ("Program") and to update the 2004 Water System Master Plan
("WMP") as described below:
BACKGROUND
Much of the City's current water system infrastructure is reportedly reaching the end of its useful
life, such that approximately 50 percent of the distribution system is at least 50 years old. As a
result, the City is improving or replacing portions of its water distribution system. Under a
separate Scope of Work, EKI prepared a WSMP that presents an approach to infrastructure
improvements over a 30 year planning horizon. These improvements include distribution system
mains, storage facilities, transmission mains, pumping stations, and SCADA systems. To
address the aging water system, the City has been implementing a Capital Improvements
Projects ("CIP") for improvements to the City's water system (see below for project updates).
The Program addresses the tracking, planning, and implementation of the CIP projects.
The WSMP was prepared in 2004 and several of the recommended improvements have been
implemented or construction is planned for Fiscal Year 2008-2009. Now that the several of the
WSMP recommended improvements have been implemented the City has determined that the
2004 WSMP should be updated to review the remaining infrastructure improvements to be
implemented, review and revise the goals and objectives of the current CIP, and identify any new
improvements that may be required as a result of changes to federal and state laws and
regulations.
COMPLETED AND ANTICIPATED CIP PROJECTS
The following is a summary of the completed and in-progress CIP projects managed by EKI as
part of ongoing program management services.

small CIP projects including:
• Review of design of hydropneumatic tanks replacement projects prepared by
others, and
• Evaluation of potential operational impacts due to planned San Francisco Public
Utilities Commission maintenance of the Hetch Hetchy System.
EKI understands that the City requests EKI to continue to provide technical support of
the projects listed above. EKI will provide technical support to City staff including
evaluation of water system operations using the City's hydraulic model, review of
consultants technical evaluations,prepare technical emails and memoranda, meet with
City staff as needed, and participate in teleconferences. EKI will retain a hydraulic
modeling firm to assist in the evaluation of the fire flows and operational impacts
analysis.
3 July 2008
Exhibit A
Page 8 of 14
Program Element C—Water System Master Plan Update
EKI has prepared this scope of work to update the 2004 WSMP, which will define and
document infrastructure improvements. EKI is assuming a 30-year planning period for
this study. Water demand associated with projected population growth and zoning
changes as well as other factors that were used when preparing the 2004 WSMP will be
reviewed and confirmed. A computer model,previously calibrated to current system
operating conditions under a separate scope of work and then modified for the projected
demand and future infrastructure,will be used to evaluate alternatives that are identified
during the master planning process. EKI intends to utilize the results of the updated
WSMP to prepare the 2009—2010 fiscal year budget as described in Task A.3 above.
The following describes the EKI team's scope of work.
• In Task 1, EKI will meet with appropriate parties of the City to agree upon
appropriate assumptions and parameters for use in the development of the updated
WSMP.
• In Task 2,the EKI team will review and confirm calculations prepared for the
2004 WSMP to assess the City's water demand. EKI will also confirm that all
improvements that have been constructed as of July 2008 have been incorporated
into the hydraulic model to document existing conditions.
• In Task 3, the EKI team will use the calibrated hydraulic model, which was
developed and calibrated under a separate scope of services,to evaluate the
behavior of the existing and planned future water system infrastructure under fire
flow demand conditions.
• In Task 4, the EKI team will use the hydraulic model to evaluate water movement
alternatives within the system with the goal of identifying projects to replace the
older portions of the existing distribution system as wells as areas with significant
operational problems. Fire flow improvements will be used as secondary criteria
for ranking improvement projects.
• In Task 5, the EKI team will prepare a WSMP document that presents the results
of the evaluations conducted as part of Tasks 1-4.
Task 1 —Planned Project Meetings
EKI proposes to utilize the process of updating the WSMP to integrate the collective
water system infrastructure and operations goals of City staff. As such, EKI intends for
the WSMP to reflect the input and consensus of multiple City departments, including
Engineering and the Water Department and, to a lesser extent, the Planning and Finance
Departments.
The WSMP will incorporate known and assumed City plans over planning horizons
comparable to those of other departments, such as the City General Plan,the Urban
Water Management Plan, and the 2004 WSMP. EKI anticipates one meeting with the
July 2008
Exhibit A
Page 9 of 14
City Engineer and City Planner to identify known or assumed growth or development
plans within the City's planning horizon that differ from the 2004 WSMP assumptions.
EKI anticipates the WSMP will assume a 30-year planning horizon, and will take into
account known growth in hotels, housing, industry, and population identified in the City
General Plan.
EKI anticipates a series of three planned meetings with engineers, supervisors, operators,
and water quality personnel familiar with the water system from the Public Works
Department("Water Systems Group"). These meetings, planned at the pre-study, 50%,
and 90%milestones of the draft WSMP and associated calculations, modeling, and
evaluations (described in Tasks 2 through 4 below), are intended to review progress
during the development of the WSMP.
The pre-study meeting will be consolidated with a regularly scheduled monthly status
meeting, and no budget is specifically allocated for this meeting.
The monthly review meeting will also be used to keep the City apprised of ongoing
project progress.
Task 2—Demand Assessment and Model Verification
Task 2 focuses on gathering data needed to estimate current water system parameters,
confirming calibration the existing model to the current system and operating conditions,
and then modifying the model to reflect planned water system infrastructure conditions at
the end of the planning horizon.
EKI will review population estimates and water demand estimates prepared as part of the
2004 WSMP effort to confirm that no significant changes to the estimates are required.
EKI understands that the City will provide historic water usage and billing information to
facilitate demand calculations,which will be projected into the future based on applicable
projection factors.
Based on available current billing information and GIS databases provided by the City,
the EKI team will confirm average daily demands, and maximum day and peak hour
peaking factors. These demands will be assigned to appropriate nodes in the distribution
system based on residential or commercial use. If information available from the City is
insufficient to confirm maximum day and peak hour peaking factors,then the maximum
day and peak hour peaking factors developed for the 2004 WSMP will be utilized. The
five largest water users in the City will be identified and represented as point demands in
the model.
To verify and adjust as necessary the existing hydraulic model prepared and calibrated
under a separate scope of work, EKI assumes the City will provide a full set of the most
current plats showing pipeline alignments, diameters; valve locations; pump station
3 July 2008
Exhibit A
Page 10 of 14
facility configurations; reservoir locations and yard piping; and Hetch Hetchy turnout
configurations. EKI understands the existing hydraulic model that has been used to
develop the Initial Distribution System Evaluation Plan reflects the actual conditions of
the existing water distribution system and has been calibrated. Therefore, EKI has not
included in this scope of work any effort to calibrate the existing hydraulic model.
Task 3 —Distribution System Analysis of Existing and Future Conditions
In this task the EKI team will utilize the calibrated model to evaluate the flow conditions
of the overall storage and distribution system under existing and future conditions. These
evaluations will take into consideration known demands, system losses, requirements for
fire flow, and storage requirements. Potential emergency water demands, including a
qualitative evaluation of earthquake and other emergency response scenarios are also
considered in this Task. A written summary of the work completed under Task 3 will be
included with the documentation prepared under Task 5 described below.
Subtask 3.1 -Evaluation of Existing Distribution System
The EKI team will evaluate water demand, system losses, peak daily flows, requirements
for fire flow, and other factors to identify infrastructure needs to meet anticipated water
demand throughout the system. This will include developing performance criteria for
reservoirs and pipelines in accordance with typical, industry-accepted standards. Using
the model, we will analyze the water system for compliance with appropriate velocity,
head loss, pressure, and emergency preparedness design criteria. Areas failing to comply
with performance criteria will be cataloged. Potential improvements identified in this
task such as inter-ties, parallel pipelines, additional storage, and expanded pump stations,
will be incorporated into the model and carried forward for future condition scenarios.
The potential need for other pump stations throughout the distribution system will also be
considered in this task. Additional pump stations may be necessary to improve water
movement and to provide redundant pumping capacity for the water system such that
single pump station failures to not cause extended water outages. The information
generated from this subtask will include necessary pump station capacity head, flow, and
other general sizing requirements, such that a pump station(or group of pump stations)
can be designed to meet projected future demands.
Subtask 3.2 -Evaluation of Future Built Out Distribution System
Similar to Subtask 3.1, EKI will evaluate water demand, system losses, peak daily flows,
requirements for fire flow, and other factors at the end of the planning horizon. The team
will update the existing hydraulic model to incorporate planned growth or zoning
changes, as well as projected demands. Based on this model of future conditions,
infrastructure needs can be identified to meet anticipated water needs throughout the
system in the future.
3 July 2008
Exhibit A
Page 11 of 14
Task 4—Evaluation of Water System Operations
EKI understands that the City's goal for the water system is to be able to move water
within the system to meet demand while maintaining a high level of water quality. A
secondary goal is to provide fire flow. Finding a balance between storage requirements
to meet anticipated demand for fire flow currently and in the future (from Task 3) and the
need to have adequate water turnover in the reservoirs is also one of the focuses of this
task.
This task includes four main evaluations of components that influence water movement
and storage throughout the City's system. These include
• Evaluation of existing pressure zones and pump stations and alternatives to
improve water movement;
• Evaluation of additional storage in the Aqueduct Zone; and
• Evaluation of transmission main alternatives to move water within and between
the zones.
These evaluations are discussed in more detail below. Each of these evaluations will
include computer-modeling simulations to evaluate the performance of the proposed new
infrastructure. Based on the evaluation of the model output, specific recommendations
will be developed and included in the WSMP. A written summary of the work completed
under Task 4 will be included with the documentation prepared under Task 5 described
below.
Subtask 4.1 -Evaluation of Pressure Zone and Pump Station Alternatives
The purpose of this evaluation is to determine whether modification of existing pump
station operations, pressure zone limits, and storage tank operations will improve the
movement and reduce the age of water in the system.
Of particular interest is the Hillside Reservoir and its service area. Alternatives to be
evaluated include the expansion of the Hillside zone by gravity or pumping, particularly
to the Aqueduct zone. In addition, changing the operation of the Easton Turnout to fill
the Hillside Reservoir, such that it is controlled by the level on the Hillside Reservoir
with potential modifications to the fill/draw cycle,will also be evaluated.
Subtask 4.2 -Evaluation of Storage in the Aqueduct Zone
This task focuses on the need for storage alternatives within the Aqueduct Zone, which is
currently served solely by the SFPUC Sunset Supply Pipeline and Crystal Springs
Pipelines 2 & 3. The Aqueduct Zone includes approximately 85 percent of the services
within the City and all of the large hotels and industrial areas that are major water
3 July 2008
Exhibit A
Page 12 of 14
customers of the City. All water in this area is supplied directly from the aqueduct; there
is currently no storage for this zone and no way to move water from existing storage
tanks in the Upper Zone into the Aqueduct Zone. Peak demands from the Aqueduct
Zone are met from the SFPUC pipelines. However, SFPUC is working toward requiring
its wholesale customers to eliminate peaking from the SFPUC pipelines.
The 2004 WSMP recommended modifications to the Hillside Reservoir including
construction of a dedicated transmission main to the Aqueduct Zone to provide storage.
Since the 2004 WSMP, a preliminary design of a new Hillside Reservoir to meet the
goals of the 2004 WSMP has been prepared and the cost of the proposed project is
substantial. The WSMP will re-evaluate the 2004 WSMP recommended project and
develop potential alternatives for providing storage of the Aqueduct Zone including
construction of new storage tanks and pump stations in locations to be determined.
Information generated from this subtask will include potential locations, storage volume
requirements, and possible connections to the distribution or transmission system, such
that storage tanks can be designed to meet projected future demands.
Subtask 4.3 -Evaluation of Transmission Mains
This task will focus on developing alternative alignments for new transmission mains
within existing pressure zones and between pressure zones. In particular, EKI will
evaluate potential transmission mains within the Aqueduct Zone to allow the City to
provide redundancy in water deliver across El Camino and Highway 101 to serve the
hotels. EKI understands that currently the City has two main transmission mains that to
deliver water east of Highway 101. The 2004 WSMP did identify locations for potential
additional transmissions mains, which will be reviewed and re-evaluated.
Task 5 —Prepare Water System Master Plan Document
EKI will document the assumptions, calculations, hydraulic model parameters, scenarios,
and evaluations (either quantitative or qualitative) from Tasks 2 through 4 in an update to
the 2004 WSMP. The WSMP is a document that provides the City with a roadmap for
anticipated growth and demand, potential water system needs, and alternatives to meet
the identified needs through the planning period. The plan is anticipated to facilitate the
City's future approach to identifying, scheduling, and budgeting capital improvements to
the water system.
The document itself will mention existing facilities and features, but will not provide
significant detail on the features of individual items. For example, the current and
planned capacity of a tank may be mentioned, but the details of construction or current
maintenance issues are not within the scope of the plan. The plan will focus on how the
overall system should function in order to accommodate anticipated growth and changes.
3 July 2008
Exhibit A
Page 13 of 14
Specifically excluded from this WSMP scope are opinions of probable cost and
implications for water rates. The WSMP is by its nature too general to provide sufficient
detail regarding the proposed alternatives to calculate associated costs accurately. EKI
will develop rough costs for comparing potential alternatives but will not prepare detailed
costs estimates for selected alternatives. It is anticipated that subsequent detailed studies
will include detailed cost estimates.
EKI anticipates providing eight copies of the draft WSMP to the City for review and
comment. EKI will meet with the City to discuss comments and incorporate the City's
comments. EKI will then submit ten final copies of the Water System Master Plan, and
retain three copies for the EKI team files. EKI will also produce an electronic version of
the WSMP in a *.PDF format readable with Adobe®Acrobat®. The electronic version
will be a simple scanned version of text,tables, and figures; no hyperlinks or bookmarks
between text and tables or figures are included in this scope.
Program Element D—As-Needed Services
The purpose of Program Element D is to provide budget for as-needed services. EKI, at the
request of the City, will prepare scopes of work and budgets for as-needed services. EKI will
not expend any budget under Program Element C without prior authorization from the City.
SCHEDULE
The schedule for implementation of this scope of work shall be upon a mutually agreeable
timeframe.
COMPENSATION FOR CONSULTING SERVICES
The scope of work assumed herein and the estimated budget identified in Table 1 are an estimate
of the anticipated tasks, level of effort, and costs to manage the currently anticipated CIP
projects during the 2008-2009 fiscal year and prepare the updated WSMP. Both the City and
EKI recognize that it is impossible to accurately determine the complete scope of work and level
of effort required to manage the anticipated projects. Some tasks may actually require more
effort than assumed herein and from time to time additional tasks beyond those contemplated
herein may arise. Therefore, this scope of work and the estimated budget in Table 1 reflect the
City's and EKI's current best ability to determine the scope of work and budget.
In light of this uncertainty, EKI will submit with each invoice a comparison of the remaining
budget to the anticipated remaining level of effort to complete each task. If it becomes apparent
that an individual task will exceed it estimated budget, EKI will inform the City and include a
projected budget to complete the task. Additionally, at such time as significant new tasks are
identified, EKI will inform the City of the new task and, if possible,the estimated cost to
complete the newly identified task.

RE: Proposal to Provide Construction Management and Inspection Services for the
California Drive and Oak Grove Avenue Sewer Improvement and Rehabilitation
Project Phase 2,Burlingame, CA.
Dear Mr. Chang,
4LEAF, Inc. (4LEAF) appreciates the opportunity to provide our cost estimate to the City of
Burlingame to perform Construction Management, Inspection, and Environmental Services for
Phase 2 of the California Drive and Oak Grove Avenue Sewer Improvement and Rehabilitation
project. As you know, 4LEAF is currently providing these services to the City for Phase 1. We
believe we have provided the City with exceptional Construction Management/Inspection
services, detailed and accurate written daily reports, and exceptional and responsive customer
support during the Phase 1 construction activities.
Our estimate to provide project services for Phase 2 activities is One Hundred Sixty Seven
Thousand,Four Hundred Eighty Three dollars ($167,483) (see Exhibit A). I have based this
estimate on the suggested construction duration of 120 working days and have significantly
decreased the amount of time needed for initial review of plans and specifications since we are
familiar with the project's typical specification package and BKF's design drawings. If you have
any questions please feel free to give me a call at(925) 462-5959.
Respectfully submitted,

APPROVED BY
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
DATE: July 9, 2008
FROM: PUBLIC WORKS
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION OVERRULING THE BID PROTEST AND AWARDING
A CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT TO GANTRY CONSTRUCTORS,
INC. FOR THE MITTEN ROAD SEWER PUMP STATION
IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT, CITY PROJECT NO. 81360
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that Council approve the attached
resolution overruling the bid protest and awarding a construction contract to Gantry
Constructors, Inc. for the Mitten Road sewer pump station improvements project in
the amount of$437,100.
BACKGROUND: The Mitten Road sewer pump station has served its useful life and
is in need of rehabilitation. Staff completed the engineering design of the project
and prioritized it for construction. The project scope of work consists of installing
new submersible pumps, motors and appurtenances including plumbing upgrades,
new electrical equipment and control building.
DISCUSSION: The project bids were opened on July 1, 2008 and four bids were
received ranging from $437,100 to $491,440. Gantry Constructors, Inc. is the lowest
responsible bidder with its bid amount of $437,100 being 16.8% above the
engineer's estimate of $374,000. Staff believes that the recent pricing increases in
electrical equipment and masonry building materials resulted in the bid amount
being higher than the engineer's estimate.
JMB Construction, Inc., a second apparent low bidder submitted a protest asserting
that the lowest bid from Gantry Constructors, Inc. should be disqualified as
subcontractors were not listed for some items of work. After a thorough review of
licensing requirements, references, contractor's experience and qualification to
successfully perform the work per contract specifications, staff has determined that
the Gantry's bid is responsive and the protest should be overruled. JMB
Construction, Inc. is informed of this determination.

Subject: Bid Protest.
Director of Public Works:
This letter is hereby submitted as our firins Bid protest Por the above referenced project.
Specifically, we are protesting the current apparent low bid submitted by Gantry
Constructors, INC.
Gantry Constructors, INC (GCI)was required to list all subcontractors whom will
perform work in an amount in excess of 1/of 1 percent of the total bid. GCI failed to list
an Electrical subcontractor on the"Designation of Subcontractors" sheet provided in the
bid proposal (ref. Attachment A). According to the Contractors State License Board,
OCT are licensed only as Class A General Engineering Contractors. JMB listed Lunlinalt
Energy Corporation to perform the Electrical portion of the work_ Luminatt is a C-10
Electrical subcontractor. The cost of this work can be gauged frons the Subcontractor
quote f rnished by Lum.inalt(ref. Attachment B) in the aua(3LCilt of 4,1�'S,nnn or 35.5% cit'
their bid amount, clearly in excess of V2 of 1 percent of their total bid.
GCl also Tailed to last a subcontractor to perform the Wet Well Lining as set out in
Section 02651 of the Contract Specification. JMB listed Pacific Liners, a certified
installer of"LaFarge Calcium Aluminate Mortar" to perform this portion of the work.
The cost of this work can be gauged from the Subcontractor quote furnished by Pacit:ic
Uners (ref. Attachment C) in the amount of 538,780 or 8.9% of their bid amount, again
clearly in excess of`/2 of I percent of their total bid.

Taking the above into account GCI is potentially in violation of the California Public
Contract Code. Public Contract Code Section 4104 (which Attachment A refers to) states
that"any person making;a bid or offer to perform the work shall, in his or her bid or
offer, set forth ... each subcontractor who will perform work ... ii an amount in excess of
one-hall of 1 percent." Further, under Public Contract Code Section 4106 "if a prime
contractor fails to specify a subcontractor... , the prime contractor agrees that he or she is
fully qualified to perform that portion himself or herself'.
It is our belief that GCI is not qualified to perform the aforementioned portions of work
required to carry out this contract.
We respectfidly request that the bid submitted by Gantry Constnlctors, INC. be
determined to be non-responsive and the bid submitted by JMB Construction, INC. be
determined the lowest responsible bid. Please do not hesitate to contact me at (650) 267
5300, should you have any questions regarding this matter.
Sincerely,

TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
DATE: July 21, 2008
FROM: PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION APPROVING THE BROADWAY FARMER'S MARKET
AND TRAFFIC CONTROL PLAN
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that Council approve the attached resolution
for the Broadway Farmer's Market and traffic control plan.
BACKGROUND: In June 2008, an encroachment permit was issued to Chamber of
Commerce for a farmer's market event on trial basis at the 1800 block of EI Camino
Real along the frontage road adjacent to Burlingame Plaza shopping center. Due to
resistance to the market location from some property owners of Burlingame Plaza as
well as due to concerns from the market vendors, the Chamber of Commerce decided to
move the market location to near Broadway.
DISCUSSION: Staff worked with the Chamber of Commerce and Broadway merchants
group and identified the first block of Capuchino Avenue north of Broadway as the
market site. A traffic control plan was developed for the closure of Capuchino Avenue
during the event and adjacent residents and businesses were notified. The market was
successful and no complaints were received after the first two events. The event is
scheduled to be held every Wednesday 4:00 pm to 8:00 pm annually from May to
November.
Staff recommends that Council approve the Farmer's market with the following
conditions:
• Chamber of Commerce should notify the affected residents and the businesses
in the area no less than 48 hours in advance of the event.
• City approved traffic control plan must be complied with and any changes to the
plan must be approved by the City in advance.
• The Chamber of Commerce should provide and maintain necessary certificates
of insurance and hold the City harmless against any liability arising as a result of
the farmer's market.
BUDGET IMPACT: Some staff time would be involved in coordinating the event which
will not have a significant impact on City resources.

FROM: Central County Fire Department BY
SUBJECT: Reclassification of Fire Mechanic to 40 hour position
Recommendation:
Approve the reclassification of the existing Fire Mechanic position to a 40 hour per week employee and adjust
hourly wage for the position to maintain current monthly compensation.
Background:
The Fire Department is undergoing an organizational restructure to gain efficiency and reduce staffing costs
due to overtime. Part of the restructure involves our automotive division. The current staffing is one (1)
mechanic and two (2)mechanic helpers.
The current classification of Fire Mechanic is a 56 hour per workweek position. The job responsibilities
include maintenance of fire apparatus and staff vehicles for the department and maintenance of outside agency
apparatus by contract. The current position requires performance of mechanic duties during normal business
hours and performance of firefighting duties after normal business hours. The position is supported by two (2)
firefighter/mechanic helpers who receive a 5% specialist pay and additional 8.5% incentive pay for outside
agency work(combined total for the two specialists- $30,000 annually). They also work in the shop during
normal business hours and as a firefighter after normal business hours.
Due to staffing issues, these three (3)positions require additional overtime funds to relieve the three (3)
firefighter mechanics of their suppression duties to allow them to work in the automotive shop during normal
business hours ($116,000 annually).
Reclassification of the Fire Mechanic to a 40 hour position will give the department a full-time, dedicated
mechanic. The reorganization will also eliminate specialist and outside agency pay for the two(2)mechanic
helpers and save overtime due to the need to backfill the mechanics during shop assignment hours. Additional
savings will be realized through the lack of need to backfill the 40 hour Fire Mechanic for vacation or other
leave ($15,425 annually).
The current compensation for the Fire Mechanic is $38.01 per hour on a 56-hour(shift) work week basis, or
the equivalent of$53.21 per hour on a 40-hour work week basis. The proposed new hourly rate for the 40-
hour Fire Mechanic is $59.78. The additional compensation is required to insure no loss of current
compensation for the Fire Mechanic, and to incorporate the current premium pay into base bay for this
position.
It should be noted that upon the retirement of the current Fire Mechanic, the Department intends to convert
this position to a non-sworn 40-hour classification.
Budget Impact:
This change is estimated to generate net annual savings of$161,425.00 through reduction in overtime pay and
elimination of premium pays.

SUBJECT: Consent Calendar Item—Authorization to Reclassify the Position of Police Commander toolice Captain
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council authorize the reclassification of the existing Police Commander position to
Police Captain.
DISCUSSION:
At the present time,the majority of law enforcement agencies in San Mateo County have the title of Police Captain as
the Second-in-Command. The change from the existing title of Police Commander to that of Police Captain would align
the Burlingame Police Department to the majority(as well as the industry standard)of law enforcement agencies in San
Mateo County and the Bay Area.
The reclassification to Police Captain would not alter the existing duties,responsibilities or compensation of the position
of Police Commander.

SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING AGREEMENT FOR
LAGUNA,PALOMA,AND "J" LOT PLAY AREA RESILIENT
SURFACING—CITY PROJECT NO. 81790.
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that Council approve the attached resolution
awarding the subject work to Blossom Valley Construction, Inc.
BACKGROUND:
The City of Burlingame has been engaged in a program to upgrade the surfacing at its children's
playgrounds. This is being accomplished with total playground renovation projects and with
retrofit projects. The current project is a retrofit of three existing playgrounds. The project will
upgrade the drainage and install rubberized surfacing to replace the current wood chip surfacing
at the three playgrounds.
The City began specifying rubberized surfacing for new playground installations in the mid
1990s. Previous installations had specified wood chips (often referred to as "engineered wood
chips" or"Fibar" as the surfacing material. Engineered chips comply with state regulations for
ADA access to playgrounds; however, use of chips requires constant maintenance and
replenishment in order to keep them in compliance with surfacing regulations. The experience
of the Parks Division has also been that supervising adults are less likely to walk into
playgrounds with engineered chip surfacing. The chips are also a difficult medium in which to
play. There is little for children to do on the engineered wood chips apart from accessing the
equipment.
Rubberized surfacing is more inviting for adults to enter the playground areas and, hence, to
provide more direct supervision for their children. Rubberized surfacing requires less on going
maintenance, is less affected by inclement weather, and provides an ideal surface for access for
children with disabilities. Rubberized surfacing is much more expensive than engineered wood
Construction documents for the selected parks were prepared by Landscape Architect John
Cahalan. The construction will involve removal of existing chips, drainage improvements,
modifications to meet accessibility requirements, and installation of accessible resilient surfacing
on an installed concrete base. Add alternates were part of the bid package. The add alternates
will provide for design and color variations on the installed surfacing.
The construction documents were completed and put out to bid. The architect's estimate was
$177,534 (base 158,850 plus three add alternates) for the construction costs. Three bids were
received. The low bid was $157,850 (151,900 base) from Blossom Valley Construction, Inc.
Blossom Valley Construction, Inc. is a San Jose company that has worked extensively in the Bay
Area on a wide variety of projects, many of which were for municipalities. Bids received were
as follows:
COMPANY BASE BID TOTAL BID
Blossom Valley Constr. 151,900.00 157,850.00
Golden Bay Construction 188,669.00 194,869.00
JDB Construction 213,720.00 213,720.00
It is estimated that the project will be completed by early November 2008.
BUDGET IMPACT:
The project is funded with $229,000 in the CIP budget. That amount will be adequate to fund
the projected costs of:
Construction Documents 21,000
Printing/advertising Costs 350
Administration and Inspections 3,800
Construction 158,850

SUBJECT: Employer Pickup Resolution--Pre-Tax Payroll Deduction ilan for Service Credit Purchases
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Council approve the resolution authorizing the California Public Employees'
Retirement System (Ca1PERS)pre-tax payroll deduction plan for service credit purchases.
BACKGROUND:
Currently, employees have the option of purchasing various types of service credit under CalPERS, including
temporary service time, military service time, and the newly available"Additional Retirement Service Credit"
(which allows employees to purchase up to five years of service credit that is not based on employment with a
Ca1PERS employer). Employees who elected to purchase Ca1PERS service credit via payroll deduction had
been doing so at their own expense on an after-tax basis.
On April 3, 2006, you approved a similar resolution enabling employees to purchase such service credit at
their own expense on a pre-tax basis. Ca1PERS informed staff that the April 3, 2006 resolution was specific to
the former 2% at 55 retirement formula, and that with the implementation of the 2.5% at 55 formula effective
March 31, 2008, it is necessary to submit a revised resolution that is non-specific to a particular retirement
formula. The revised resolution will therefore apply to all miscellaneous and safety employees, regardless of
retirement formula.
BUDGET IMPACT:
There is no budget impact.

purchases under Internal Revenue Code (IRC) section 414(h)(2); and
WHEREAS, the City of Burlingame{Employer) has the authority to implement the provisions of IRC
section 414(h)(2) and has determined that even though implementation is not required by law, the tax

and
WHEREAS,the City of Burlingame (Employer)elects to participate in the pre-tax payroll deduction plan
for all employees in the following CaIPERS Coverage Group(s):

contributions" shall mean those contributions reported to CaIPERS which are deducted from the
salary of employees and are credited to individual employee accounts for service credit purchases,
thereby resulting in tax deferral of employee contributions.

SUBJECT: Consent Calendar- Approval for Captain Michael Matteucci to attend the FBI National Academy,a

RECOMMENDATION:
Respectfully recommend that the city council approve the request to send Captain Michael Matteucci to out of state
training at the Federal Bureau of Investigation National Academy in Quantico,Virginia,for I 1 weeks of professional
command staff training.
DISCUSSION:
The Federal Bureau of Investigation offers 1 I weeks of professional law enforcement command staff training at their
National Academy facility in Quantico,Virginia.The academy training(from September 28,2008 through December 12,
2008)involves both leadership and management development for law enforcement management personnel and is
accredited through the University of Virginia.
Part of the police department's future vision is to increase the level of professional leadership and management training
for both management and command staff personnel and to expose them to professional training on a state and national
level.Only 2%of law enforcement professionals are nominated and selected to attend the FBI National Academy.At the
present time,the police department has 2 employees who've attended and graduated form the FBI National Academy.
BUDGET IMPACT:

would be required to provide our student with$1,500.00 to cover the expenses associated with the purchase of uniforms,
athletic gear,and related costs that the federal government doesn't cover.This expense will be covered from existing
funds in the current 08-09 police department budget.

Please review this memo carefully. New procedures were
adopted in 2006 regarding designation of voting delegates and
alternates and voting at the Annual Conference.
June 13, 2008
TO: Mayors, City Managers and City Clerks
RE: DESIGNATION OF VOTING DELEGATES AND ALTERNATES
League of California Cities Annual Conference—September 24-27, Long Beach
The League's 2008 Annual Conference is scheduled for September 24-27 in Long Beach. An
important part of the Annual Conference is the Annual Business Meeting, scheduled for 8:30
a.m., September 27, at the Long Beach Convention Center. At this meeting, the League
membership considers and takes action on resolutions that establish League policy.
In order to vote at the Annual Business Meeting, your city council must designate a voting
delegate. In the event that the designated voting delegate is unable to serve in that capacity, your
city may appoint up to two alternate voting delegates. In 2006, the ability to appoint up to two
alternates was the result of approval of a League bylaws amendment that increased the number
of voting delegate alternates from one to two.
Please complete the attached Voting Delegate form and return it to the League's office no
later than September 5, so that voting delegate/alternates records may be established prior
to the conference. At the conference, voting delegate forms may be returned to the Voting
Delegate Desk located in the conference registration area.
Please note the following procedures that are intended to ensure the integrity of the voting
process at the Annual Business Meeting.
• Action by Council Required. Consistent with League bylaws 6T
,2nd7-"6vo alternates.must bq1 111 by; .�h! en completing the
:,
attached Voting I�elegafe form, please attach either a copy of the council resolution that
reflects the council action taken, or have your city clerk or mayor sign the form affirming
that the names provided are those selected by the city council. Please note that
designating the voting delegate and alternates must be done by city council action and
cannot be accomplished by individual action of the mayor or city manager alone.
• Conference Registration Required. The voting delegate and alternates must be
registered to attend the conference. At least one must be present at the Business Meeting
and in possession of voting card in order to cast a vote. Voting delegates and alternates
-more-
are requested to pick up their conference badges before signing in and picking up the
voting delegate card at the Voting Delegates Desk. This will enable them to receive the
special stamps on their name badges that will admit them into the voting area during the
Business Meeting.
• Transferring Voting Card to Non-Designated Individuals Not Allowed. The voting
card may be transferred freely between the voting delegate and alternates, but only
between the voting delegate and alternates. If the voting delegate and alternates find
themselves unable to attend the Business Meeting, they may not transfer the voting card
to another city official.
• New Seating Protocol during General Assembly. At the Business Meeting, individuals
with the voting card will sit in a separate area. Admission to this area will be limited to
those individuals with a special stamp on their name badge identifying them as a voting
delegate or alternate. If the voting delegate and alternates wish to sit together,they should
be sure to sign in at the Voting Delegate desk and obtain the special stamps on their badges.
The Voting Delegate desk in the conference registration area will be open September 24, 25 and
26, and prior to the Business Meeting on September 27. The conference registration area will
open at 12:00 p.m., on September 24, at the Long Beach Convention Center. The Voting
Delegate desk will also be open at the Business Meeting, but not during a roll call vote, should
one be undertaken.
The voting procedures that will be used at the conference are attached to this memo. Please share
it and this memo with your council and especially with the individuals your council designates as
your city's voting delegate and alternates.
Once again, thank you for completing the voting delegate and alternate form and returning it to
the League office by September 5. If you have questions, please call Mary McCullough at
(916) 658-8247.

VII. Reports
A. City Librarian's Report - Highlights
1. Library Budget - 2008-2009 - The budget for this time
period had to reflect no increases in operating costs and -
collections. Increase in vendor contracts necessitated that costs
be cut by 3.3% in other areas of the budget to sustain a zero
percent increase.

2. Renovation of the Children's Room-Plans to give the
Children's Room a new look are in progress. Upgrades to the
room will be as follows: refinishing some of the existing furniture,
painting all walls and beams,reupholstering original settees and
purchasing 3 small Craftsman lounge chairs. The Children's
Mural,created by muralist Lynne Rutter,will define this area as
truly a place for children and create a feeling of wonderment and
magic for them. This project is being funded by the Burlingame
Library Foundation.
B. Foundation Report-Stephen Hamilton
1. Author Luncheon-The event was a great success and
netted the Foundation approximately$15,000.
2. Book Sales-The April book sale hit a new record by
netting$6,800. Daily book sales are netting approximately
$1,000 a month and a-bay sales are close to$2,800 since the
beginning of this project.By combining all 3 book sale revenues,
the Foundation's goal is to raise approximately$20-25,000 for the
Library. Jim Nagel gave a workshop for members who might be
interested in helping with the on-line book sale. The Foundation
is going to strive for clearing$10,000 on the on-line book project.
VIII. Unfinished Business
A. Library Centennial Update
1. Change in Mural/Lion Event-The Trustees determined that
the dedication and naming of the lions should be combined with
the dedication of the children's mural for the Centennial Kick-Off
Celebration. Sunday May 19th before the library opens was
selected as the date for the event. Trustee Griffith made a motion
to change the date of the Centennial Kick-Off Event from
October 17th to October 19th and to combine the dedications of
the lions and the children's mural. M/S/C(Griffith/Carlton)
Joanne Garrison,author of the"Burlingame Centennial
1908-2008"will be present at the event for a book signing.
2. Naming Contest Team-Trustees Toft and Brock will chair
the"Naming of the Lions Contest": Information on the contest
will be sent to the daily newspapers,as well as being available at
both Burlingame libraries. Participants of all ages are welcome to
send in an entry. The chairs will select thebest10 entries and
the final choice will be made by full Library board.
Library Board of Trustee Minutes May 20,2008 - 2
B. Hillsborough Update
The City Librarian advised the Trustees that discussions between the
City Managers of Burlingame, San Mateo and Hillsborough regarding an
increase in Hillsborough's payment for Library services have come to a
temporary impasse. Hillsborough's current response to this issue is
that Hillsborough residents should be charged according to usage
rather than by a per capita average of all libraries in the PLS System.
Jim Nantell (Burlingame City Manager) and Arne Croce (San Mateo City
Manager) will determine how they wish to proceed. The City Librarian
noted that it would be illegal to permit Hillsborough residents to pay on
a usage basis as California public libraries must serve all users equally.
This would also put our State funding in jeopardy.
At the request of the City Librarian, Bruce Carlton agreed to remain on
the Library's committee for the Hillsborough Contract in a consulting
role.
IX. New Business
A. Staff Development
The Trustees discussed the possibility of creating an endowment fund
which would be used to fund educational opportunities for individual
staff members to further enhance their library knowledge and skills by
attending workshops and conferences. Presently the Anderson Fund
and the Duncan Fund are being used as sources for staff development.
The Trustees requested that the City Librarian prepare a proposal for
their review.
B. Staff Scholarship
The Trustees also wanted to research the idea of offering a scholarship
to a staff person who was working towards his or her Masters in Library
Science. The issue of how a scholarship of this nature could be
administered was of interest to the Trustees. The City Librarian will
prepare scholarship options for the next meeting. The idea of discussing
staff development and a staff scholarship as a package is one the
Trustees want to consider.
C. New Centennial Library Cards
Patrons will be offered the opportunity to obtain a new library card
featuring the main Library in recognition of the Library's 100 years.
The card will be free during the Centennial. Patrons will receive a new
card number with their Centennial card.

The meeting was adjourned at 6:32pm. M/S/C (Brock/Toft) The next
meeting of the Library Trustees will be held June 24, 2008 at 5:30prn in the
Library Conference Room.

Library Wins 6.National Awards!
Burlingame Public Library's public relations efforts won a total of 7 awards: 6 First
Place awards, and one Honorable Mention, from the American Library Association!We
are very proud of Maryam Refahi for her wonderful work on behalf of the library and
its programs. Congratulations Maryam!
Library Use Statistics Up
Library circulation statistics are up again: 8.27% at Main; 9.28% at Easton. We are
posting 60%,of the circulation.at both branches on the self-checks. This will be our
largest year ever, assuming we maintain this rate through June.
Library Budget to be approved
The Library budget is expected to be approved at the City Council public hearing on
Monday, June 16, 2008. The library operating budget was submitted with zero
increase. Unfortunately, the budget reflects an increase in contractual costs with
vendors, resulting in an overall reduction in the operating budget of$ 26,000. Funds
were reduced in the collections budget once again, which means a loss in collections
available for the public. Appointment of Trustees will take place.at this Council
meeting as well.
Hillsborough Contract Negotiation Stalled
The contract to serve Hillsborough library users has stalled in discussions with the
three City managers (Burlingame, Hillsborough, and San Mateo). The Hillsborough
Citizen's committee (with whom we havenot met) maintains that Hillsborough should
pay only for Hillsborough users, not by per capita expenditure. It would, in fact, be
illegal for us to allow Hillsborough-to pay by user, as California public libraries are
required to serve.all-users equally., Per capita cost is the typical way in which public
libraries are funded across the state. For the past 5 years, Hillsborough residents have
been paying the average of all PLS libraries as their cost: I will keep you posted on '
future developments.
Library Carpet Project
The Library Carpet project was resurrected last month, as the Public Works
department and our staff developed the documents necessary togo out to bid. A
-bidders meeting was held and Pat Harding and representatives from the Facilities
Department were there. Unfortunately, we had only one attendee. However, we
understand that the bidding information was not published in the contractor's local
480 Primrose Road Burlingame•California 94010-4o83.

Mysterious California Author Series
This series featuring local mystery authors was great fun. We had Nina Revoyr,
Southland, Kirk Russell, Shell Games; Nadia Gordon, Sharpshooter, Laurie King, The
Art of Detection, in an author's discussion panel. Discussion groups on each of their
books were enjoyed by a loyal following. -
Foundation Business
The Foundation Author Luncheon not only made friends for the library, but also
raised nearly$ 15,000. The author line-up was excellent. My thanks to the committee
for making this second annual author event such a great success! The Foundation is
looking for ways of marketing books either on an Amazon Store, or on eBay. The
potential for larger sales is very good-with the larger audience. President Stephen
Hamilton notes that this could bring in another $ 10K per year to the Foundation.
The City Librarian attended a seminar given by the Planned Giving Council on
"Protecting your Charity." A San Francisco attorney spoke about ways to protect your
charity against loss and legal action. A handbook she designed was distributed and I
have it available should anyone wish to view it.
Technology Updates
All libraries in Peninsula Library System will be upgraded with fiber optic cable which
will allow us to have much greater bandwidth and therefore more speed. AT &T will be
doing the work and individual libraries are paying part-of the cost. The work should be
completed in the next 6 months.,
Peninsula Library System is also doing some long range planning for technology. The
City Librarian is on the committee studying and prioritizing future technology options.
Former Staff Member passes
Former Page Supervisor, Michael Donnellan, passed away on May 23rd after a year-
long battle with cancer. Michael retired from his post in December 1997,just after the
main library opening. Services for him were held at St. Bartholomew's Church, 300
Alameda de las Pulgas, San Mateo on June 13, 12:30 PM.
Posting of Library Trustee Agendas
Library Trustee meeting agenda and packets must now be made available to the public
at the same time they are mailed to the Trustees. This complies with new laws
regarding information available at public meetings, SB 343, which takes effect July 1,
2008. Agendas and packets will be placed in a binder at the Reference Desk for public
review.
Off-Site Storage
The library will shortly be contracting for offsite storage for shelving and furniture that
we are not now using, but wish to keep. We are hoping to find a reasonable storage
facility nearby. We must clear out our Tel/Data closets and other storage areas in
keeping with fire safety, and there does not seem to be anywhere in the City to store
our extra-furnishings.

FROM THE FLOOR
Jennifer Pfaff(615 Bayswater) commented on the abstract Benefit-Cost Analysis of Ten Street Tree Species . . ., that
some trees that grow fast such as ornamental pear trees are amongst the poorest selections of street trees and are not long
lived, whereas slower growers such as London Plane trees and Gingko trees are better suited as street trees,requiring less
maintenance, and living longer.
Chairman Carney changed the order of the agenda to accommodate the appellants present.
NEW BUSINESS
Appeal of the Denial for the Removal of a Private Live Oak Tree *, 15 Clarendon Road (nearest to the property
at 17 Clarendon Road)—
Arborist Porter reviewed and reported to the Commission that the original application from the property owner,
submitted in February of 2008, requested removal of all 3 Live Oak trees on the property. The application was denied
because the request was only based on "future" building plans. Subsequently, plans were submitted to the Building
Department in March of 2008. Arborist Porter stated he then approved removal of the Live Oak tree (41) for the new
garage and driveway, and the removal of Live Oak tree (42) because too many roots would need to be cut as part of the
proposed construction. Arborist Porter stated that following the approval, two letters were received from property
owners at 17 & 18 Clarendon Road appealing the decision and requesting the removal of Live Oak tree (43) instead of
the middle Live Oak tree (42), because the #3 Oak tree shades the property at 17 Clarendon Road, deprives the garden
area of sunlight, causing difficulty in growing vegetables. A letter from 18 Bloomfield was also received appealing the
decision, but instead, requests that the Live Oak tree (42) and the Live Oak tree (#3) remain for canopy and balance
issues. Additionally, a letter from #10 Bloomfield was received and requests that at least one of the Live Oak trees
remain on the property.
Following the Commissions review with Arborist Porter, Commissioner McQuaide asked if the plans had been approved
by the Planning Commission. Arborist Porter stated that until the completion of the appeal process had been met with
regard to the trees,the plans for the project would not move forward.
Chairperson Carney then opened the hearing to public comment.
Gil Borgardt(appellant), 17 Clarendon Road, stated that the trees are too close to each other and there is no room on the
property for all 3 trees to remain. He stated that the#1 Oak tree has an iron grill embedded in it and that there is wire in
the #3 tree;he would like the#2 Oak tree to remain but would like the #3 tree to be removed instead, or at the least,the
plan to include that the 43 Live Oak tree be pruned so it doesn't come over his property.
Commissioner Ellis asked Arborist Porter if the #2 Oak tree was in the way of the proposed project. Arborist Porter
confirmed that the#2 Oak tree is too close to the footprint of the proposed garage. Commissioner Lahey stated that there
are not many tall trees in the neighborhood or between the back yards. She stated that she would not want to see all 3 or
possibly even 2 trees removed on this property,but acknowledged that the trees are too close. She concluded,that if the
#3 Oak Tree was pruned and thinned nicely, the appellant would still have light to his garden, and the neighbor at 18
Bloomfield would still have some canopy.
Following the discussion, Commissioner Benson moved to uphold the denial of the removal of the #3 Oak tree,
because the drip line of the tree does not reach over the property at 17 Clarendon Road, is viable despite being
neglected, and adds canopy to the neighborhood;seconded Motion carried G—0—I (absent/Wright).
Chairperson Carney thanked the appellant and advised of appeal procedures.
Appeal of the Denial for the Removal of Only One of Three Redwood Trees in the Back Yard (a,) 2504 Easton
Drive—
Arborist Porter reported that in April 2008 an application was received to remove 3 Redwood trees located in the back
yard due to roots of the trees invading the yard. Approval for the removal of the #2 Redwood tree (in the middle of the
yard) was granted because he believed it was the tree causing most of the root damage on the property, but denied the
removal of the 2 outside Redwood trees, citing root pruning on the remaining trees could mitigate concerns and could be
accomplished without dyer consequences. The property owner at 1309 Castillo(located behind the applicants property),
has appealed the denial of the removal of the other two Redwood trees citing roots have lifted and cracked the driveway,
and that they are experiencing difficulty opening their garage door.

NEW BUSINESS - Anneal of the Denial for the Removal of Only One of Three Redwood Trees in the Back Yard
(ii)2504 Easton Drive—(Contd.)
Commissioner Benson asked Arborist Porter how he determined which roots were causing the damage. Arborist Porter
stated he could make that determination by following the root flair, which is straight across from the 42 Redwood tree,
and is closest to the back fence line.
Commissioner Lahey asked if the 42 Redwood tree were removed along with the stump, would the roots of the other
trees be disturbed. Arborist Porter responded that stump removal would generally only include the general area around
the stump and should not affect the other trees.
Commissioner Ellis asked if the property owner wanted to install a lawn, would it grow. Arborist Porter responded yes,
but lawn may last only 3-4 years.
The Commission further reviewed with Arborist Porter the damage caused by tree roots,root growth, proper root pruning
techniques,installation of root barriers to mitigate future damage, and stability of trees following root pruning.
Chairperson Carney then opened the hearing for public comment.
Susan Raffo (appellant), 1309 Castillo, submitted pictures of damage to fencing and surrounding concrete surfacing
caused by roots from the neighboring redwood trees. She commented that, 6-8 years ago, because they could not open
their garage door,her husband dug up the asphalt and cut out large roots so they could open their garage door. The roots
have grown back again (creating the same problem), the driveway on the other side is now undulating, thin roots are in
their yard, and the gate is now off line. Ms. Raffo stated that they wish to replace the driveway with the goal of replacing
the garage and landscaping the garden but hesitates to do so because they do not want the roots to reinvade again. She
stated that she is also concerned that the roots might someday invade her pool. Ms. Raffo concluded that her neighbors
at 2504 Easton want to improve their back yard and have a play area for their children, that, the appeal is to have only
one other tree removed, and hopes the Commission would reconsider and approve the removal of the #1 Redwood tree
too.
Commissioner Ellis asked Ms. Raffo the age of her existing driveway. Ms. Raffo stated the driveway is about 28 years
old and replacement cost would run around$20,000 if the trees were to remain and root barriers were to be placed.
John Ailanjian, 2504 Easton Drive, stated that when they bought the house they loved the Redwood trees, but thinks
these trees are not appropriate for this size lot and were planted by the previous owner and left to grow. He stated that
after they purchased the home, the basement flooded, due to roots; repair costs were $30,000. They have considered
decking or installing Astroturf in the back yard but an Independent Arborist recommended removal because the trees
were going to grow to a massive size and root pruning could make the trees unstable. He concluded his comments
stating that they would be willing to replace the trees with other more suitable trees if removal were approved.
Beth Ailanjian, 2504 Easton Drive, stated they loved the back yard when they bought their home 6 months ago, but no
one wants to prune the roots; three people have stated that they would not guarantee the tree's stability if the roots are
pruned. She now fears someone may get hurt if they were to prune the roots and cause the tree(s) to become unstable.
She commented that she takes her children to the park all the time because they cannot provide a play area in the existing
space;that the space is so tiny and unusable. She concluded that had they known,they would not have bought the house.
Commissioner Grandcolas asked Arborist Porter if cutting the top of the Redwood tree would cause it to grow vertically.
Arborist Porter stated, no, but cutting the top of the tree would create a worse situation. Arborist Porter added that
putting a lawn in the back yard would be possible without pruning the roots by filling in with topsoil and seed over the
roots of tree 43, and then in the area where tree 42 has been approved for removal, putting down a new layer of topsoil
and planting a lawn.
Commissioner McQuaide commented that her neighbors have several large Redwood trees in their yard and that they left
an area open around the trunks, planted lawn, and the trees roots have not affected lawn.
Raul Nicho, 2500 Easton Drive, stated that the Redwood trees roots at 2504 Easton Drive have caused problems on his
property with the sewer line, can only assume it is the size of the trees, and that the Redwood tree#1 is mostly likely the
tree damaging the sewer line. They have managed to live with the problems the tree has caused over the years, but he
understands his neighbor's plight because their basement is now completely refinished. He concluded that he is in favor
of the Commission approving removal, and was glad to hear that his neighbor would agree to plant trees that are more
appropriate.

NEW BUSINESS -Appeal of the Denial for the Removal of Onlv One of Three Redwood Trees in the Back Yard
(a-),2504 Easton Drive—(Contd.)
Commissioner Ellis noted that the hot tub is in the path of Redwood tree #1 and asked the Ailanjian's if they had
experienced problems in that area. Mr. Ailanjian stated that the hot tub is elevated and there is concrete underneath,but
had not experienced any,problems.
Commissioner Grandcolas stated and clarified with Arborist Porter that the old clay sewer lines in the City of
Burlingame shift and break or crack, and then the roots invade the line, not the other way around,that the roots break or
crack sewer lines. Arborist Porter stated that tree roots don't search out sewer lines but will go to the source of water.
Commissioner Grandcolas then asked if replacing the old clay sewer line would correct the problem. Arborist Porter
stated yes,that would correct the problem.
Chairperson Carney closed the hearing to public comment.
Commissioner Benson stated if the approved removal of the#2 Redwood is removed then the#I Redwood tree should be
removed as well because thev are too close to each other and there would still be a gorgeous big Redwood tree by
leaving the #3 Redwood tree in this tiny back yard. Commissioner Benson then moved to approve the removal of the
Redwood tree#1 because it is too close to the#2 Redwood tree already permitted for removal, the roots of the two trees
are intertwined, root pruning would not mitigate the concerns, and the shade from Redwood tree #3 would provide
shade and canopy for the yard;seconded, Carney.
Commissioner McQuaide commented that if both Redwood tree 41 and Redwood tree#2 are removed,the 43 tree would
stand alone and it is her understanding that Redwood trees need to have another Redwood tree; one Redwood tree in the
yard might create instability on the remaining tree. Commissioner Benson responded that one Redwood tree could stand
alone adding that these trees roots are going to continue growing and the trunks will continue growing.
Commissioner Lahey commented that she is hesitant approving removal of a Redwood tree. Since the Redwood tree#2
has been already permitted for removal, the remaining Redwood tree#1 and Redwood tree #3 can be pruned and raised
up; adding that we all have trees in our yards that were planted by squirrels. She noted that Redwood trees are gone in
the City because trees were removed when the lots were subdivided in the City.
Commissioner Carney asked Arborist Porter how long before roots would go into the driveway? Arborist Porter
responded that it would probably take 10 years,that the driveway is 5-10 feet beyond the drip line.
Commissioner Ellis stated and clarified with Arborist Porter that tree roots don't grow into foundations and that there
would not be a problem with soil on the top of the existing roots. Arborist Porter stated that concrete foundations are
deep and roots will not go through the concrete, and that putting topsoil and grass a couple of feet away from the trunk
would be possible and doable in this case; noting that there are varieties of grass that would be more appropriate for the
particular growing conditions.
Following the discussion, Chairperson Carney repeated the motion and called for the vote. Motion failed: 1
(favoredBenson), 5(opposed), 1 (absent/Wright).
Commissioner Benson then moved to uphold Arborist Porter's recommendation to remove only Redwood tree#2;
seconded, Grandcolas. Motion carried 6—0—I (absent/Wright).
Chairperson Carney thanked the appellants and advised of appeal procedures.
OLD BUSINESS
Business Landscape Award Update
Commissioner Lahey reported that she had contacted the owner of Solo Bambini and Commissioner Wright had also
notified artist Dale Perkins of the results as well. The owner of Solo Bambini was thrilled to hear that they would be
receiving the award, and invited the Commission to come by and see the back yard of the business too. Commissioner
Lahey submitted for Commission review, the proposed letter that would be sent to the winning business noting that the
approved letter would be sent on Commission letterhead. She stated the plaque design would need to be decided and had
asked Administrative Secretary Harvey to bring the plaque that was used for the Commission's past 'Landscape Award'
program. Commissioner Lahey concluded that the plaque design, publicity for the Chamber Newsletter, and a date for
the presentation before Council would need to go back to the committee; noting that since some summer Council
meetings are cancelled, September might be the best month to present the award.

OLD BUSINESS-Business Landscape Award Update(Contd.)
Commissioner Lahey then added that she would need to remove herself at this time from the committee because of time
required of her with a new job and her children.
Commissioner-Benson stated she thought September would be too late and expressed concern that momentum would be
lost. Following a brief discussion, it was a consensus of the Commission that Director Schwartz ascertains a date for a
Council meeting in September when the award could be presented. Commissioner McQuaide agreed to serve on the
committee. The committee would meet soon and decide on the plaque design and the publicity for the award.
Street Tree Policy Recommendation/Official Street Tree List Revisions
Interim Superintendent Foell reviewed the status of the Commissions Street Tree Policy Recommendation to Council and
stated, though he had not attended the meeting, it was his understanding that, generally the Council approved the
recommendation and agreed with the focus on 'tall canopy' trees. He noted that it is important for the revisions on the
tree lists to be approved tonight because the fall planting,the Grant planting, and the postponed April planting is still on
hold until the lists are approved. He stated that Supervisor Disco had been revising the lists, removing some species,
adding some species, and keeping some trees with the best,largest canopies as possible.
Commissioner Grandcolas commented that he attended the Council meeting when the recommendation was presented to
Council. The Council did not seem intent on creating more "themed" streets, but thought it best not to dictate to
homeowners the specie of tree to be planted in front of their homes,but mostly discussed removing bad choices of trees,
leaving and adding choices of"grand"trees,and providing fewer choices of trees on the list.
Interim Superintendent Foell stated that the existing "themed" streets need to be identified and that Supervisor Disco
would be creating a list of"themed"streets for the Commission to review at the August meeting.
Supervisor Disco stated he would like to see the tree lists reviewed on a yearly basis, adding and updating trees on the
list. He then reviewed with the Commission the suggested revisions to the 4 street tree lists. The Commission made
some suggested changes that Supervisor Disco would take into consideration after conducting further research.
Chairperson Carney then opened the meeting for public comment.
Jennifer Pfaff, 615 Bayswater, stated that she had attended the May 19'h Council meeting and expressed concern that
there seemed to be a disconnect between what is being presented at the Commission meeting and what happened at the
Council meeting and understood by the Council's comments that they had wanted the street tree list peared down to
include"grand"trees, maybe to 3 or 4 species on certain blocks. She noted that the revised street tree lists still had a lot
of choice, and asked "where are the "grand" trees?" She commented that she did appreciate that the Red Bud had been
removed from the list. Ms. Pfaff then suggested the following:
* Under the PRIM list, 2 types of Magnolia's are not needed; remove the small 'Little Gem' Magnolia from the
list.
* Narrow down the lists, choosing trees with big canopies;by default,a greater canopy is created
* London Plane(Sycamore) trees could be included on the PRIM list
* Pear trees only live 25 years and should be removed from the list because they are not long lived
* Consider using a symbol by the trees on each list that are"canopy"trees or`Burlingame preferred"trees
Elizabeth Watson commented on the possible "disconnect" between the Council and the Commission, and thought the
Council heard that the lists could be cut down to 3 choices on the"themed"streets. She then suggested the following for
the street tree lists:
* Stay with the 4 lists with 10-12 choices on each list;the broader the choice for property owners,the better
• Providing as many"grand"trees on each list as feasible
* Providing smaller trees for areas where there are special needs;be flexible
* Label"grander"trees on list;would love to know which are the"grander"trees
Ms. Watson concluded that many who were to have trees planted in April are still waiting for a decision and do not know
if or when the trees will be planted or if they will need to choose from other lists. Interim Superintendent Foell
responded that staff has met and thought those on the April list would be able to stay with original choices because most
were not on"themed"streets. Ms. Watson stated that those homeowners may wish to choose from the revised list. After
a brief discussion, it was decided that once the revised list was approved, those on the April planting list would be given
the opportunity to chose from those lists as well.

OLD BUSINESS-Street Tree Policv Recommendation/Official Street Tree List Revisions—(Contd.)
Chairperson Carney closedpublic comment.
Commissioner McQuaide moved to approve the revised street tree list with the additions discussed, while researching
other suggested species for inclusion;seconded,Benson. Motion carried 6—0—I (absent/Wright).
CalTrans Plan for El Camino Update
Interim Superintendent Foell reported that CalTrans made a presentation to Council. Council has now asked CalTrans to
provide a survey and a map for the October Council meeting indicating which Eucalyptus trees would be removed, and
how many, and where replacement Elm trees would be planted.
Commissioner Grandcolas reported that he was at the same Council meeting and stated that the news is not pretty; not
hopeful. He continued that CalTrans' new guidelines call for removal of trees to provide a site distance of 100', each
way, at each intersection, and that, replacement plantings will be sparse. He noted that he spoke to the issue and
reminded the Council that Elm trees will not grow as tall as the Eucalyptus trees, and that overhead power lines will be
very visible when the trees come down,and asked the Council to spend the money to underground power lines.
Supervisor Disco stated that he had walked the El Camino several times with the project manager and had shared his
concern regarding the 100' site distance each way at intersections. After the project manager discussed Supervisor
Disco's concerns with his supervisor, it was articulated that this was just a `guideline" and could be adjusted.
Supervisor Disco recommended to the project manager that 1) site distances at the intersections to be 30' each way,
instead of 100% 2) the minimum spacing between replacement trees to be brought in (or lessened); 3) provide smaller
trees instead of no trees for site clearances between driveways; and, 4) where wires are over planter strips, plant
Accolade Elms trees, slightly back/closer to the sidewalk edge, rather than no tree planting in those areas. Supervisor
Disco further reported that the majority of tree removals on El Camino at this time would be the removal of the small
Eucalyptus microtheca trees.
July 3`d Beautification Commission Meeting
After a brief discussion, it was a consensus of the Commission that the July 3rd Beautification Commission be cancelled
due to the July 4th Holiday.
REPORTS—
Interim Superintendent's Report
Interim Superintendent Foell reported that staff is making progress on the fall tree planting.
Interim Superintendent Greg Foell introduced himself and stated he had served in Parks and Recreation for 23 years;
loves it and is very passionate about this field. He added that it is lovely to see a City that is so passionate about trees
and that he comes from an area that has a commitment to trees. He noted that on the "Parks" end, he had served as
Assistant Administrator with a Park District as well as an Administrator of a Park District doing Park Development and
overseeing the planting of over 1,000 trees.
Supervisor Disco
Supervisor Disco reported that the tree crew removed 2 Silver Maples along the sidewalk on California Drive at the

walking on the sidewalk adjacent to the trees; both trees also had decay in the trunk. The trees would be replaced with
Red Maples.

Motion passed 6-0-0-1 (Commissioner Lindstrom absent).
IV. APPROVAL OF AGENDA
There were no changes to the agenda.
V. FROM THE FLOOR
Joel Weise, 3 Kenmar Way; noted his objections regarding the proposed project at 2700 Summit Drive
(Design Review Study item from June 9, 2008 Planning Commission agenda). There is a proposal to install
a fence on the public sidewalk. View obstructions will occur. His home is adjacent to the property, but not
shown on the plans; average setback is not accurate. Most of neighbors are objecting to the setback
calculation. The owners have gone around asking the neighbors not to object to the plan; neighbors were
intimidated not to get in the way of the project. With respect to the Variance; it speaks to the look, feel and
mass of the structure;the house is nearly 5,000 square feet and includes an in-law unit;this does not fit with
the neighborhood, the home is too large. The applicant has already built a fence within a foot or two of the
street; have encroached into a public easement. All of the adjacent neighbors object to the plans.
CommissionerAuran recused himself from participating in the discussion regarding Agenda Item 1, since he
has a business relationship with the applicant.

Reference staff report dated June 23, 2008, with attachments. Senior Planner Brooks presented the report,
reviewed criteria and staff comments. Twelve (12) conditions were suggested for consideration.
Chair Cauchi opened the public hearing. He indicated that he would participate in the discussion of the
item, but would abstain from voting, since he had not participated in the prior discussion regarding the item.
Chris Dunning, 1837 Hunt Drive, represented the applicant.
■ Have considered all neighbors in the project design; and have taken their input into consideration,
■ Described changes made to plans; have incorporated all of the Commission's recommendations.
■ Provided photos of homes in the area.
3
CITY OF BURLINGAME PLANNING COMMISSION—Approved Minutes June 23, 2008
Commission comments:
■ Asked if the applicant has visited the neighboring property to observe the views (Applicant — no
significant views are impacted).
■ Not convinced regarding the detailing of the rail on the rear deck; most in the area don't move into
the "commercial" character (Applicant—willing to re-design rail as an FYI if required).
■ Match the character of the rear column with the design of the front column.
■ Concerned regarding view blockage from the neighbor's (1847 Hunt Drive) kitchen window.
Public comments:
■ Thomas Nuris, 2171 Junipero Serra Boulevard, Daly City; represented Mr. and Mrs. Theodore
Vlahos , 1847 Hunt Drive; the kitchen view blockage is significant, the space is used the majority of
the time. Believe that the design should be revised to eliminate the view impact. Moving the
addition into the rear yard would impact the applicant's use of yard space, but should be balanced
with impacts upon the neighbor's view. Extend the addition at ground level without impacting views
of neighbor.
There were no further comments and the public hearing was closed.
Additional Commission comments:
■ Believe that view blockage from the kitchen is substantial; quality of life in neighbor's house will be
impacted.
■ The pattern within the block is single-story homes.
■ Breakfast room and den views are also affected.
■ Reasonable addition, but there is view blockage;wouldn't want to set a precedent by allowing view
blockage in this instance; there are other alternatives to expand the residence.
■ Massing hasn't changed too much with modifications that have been made; sense was that the
prominent views were to the southwest; were hopeful that the designers would shift the massing
somewhat; concern about views wasn't a prominent a discussion point during the initial discussions.
■ Applicant has worked to modify the design as directed; can be supported, though there are some
view impacts.
■ The two-story design is appropriate for the site; the ordinance that makes the hillside area valuable
emphasizes distant views; views of trees and sky have not been deemed significant in the past. If
the regulations are used injudiciously, could become problematic; be mindful thatjust blocking light
does not count as a valuable view.
■ Preservation of back-yard space is important over view space.
■ Blockage of air and sunlight do not reach level of being substantial from a view blockage standpoint.
■ Distant view of trees is significant; the proposal creates a significant view blockage.
Commissioner Auran moved to deny the application without prejudice.
The motion was seconded by Commissioner Yie.
Discussion of motion:
• Appreciates the applicant's willingness to work through the issues, but there are alternatives for an
addition that will not impact the neighbor's view. View impact is significant.
■ Design of house was intentional, promoted views from the property.

DESIGN AND ENGINEERING,DESIGNER)PROJECT PLANNER: ERICA STROHMEIER
Reference staff report dated June 23,2008,with attachments. Community Development Director Meeker
presented the report,reviewed criteria and staff comments. Thirteen(13)conditions were suggested for
consideration.
Chair Cauchi opened the public hearing.
Commission comments:
• None
James Chu,55 West 43r6,San Mateo,and Bob Gilson,30 Woodgate Court,Hillsborough;represented the
applicant.
Met with three of the neighbors that spoke at the prior hearing.
• Spoke to Principal at Our Lady of Angels;not worried about shadows in the parking lot;there is not
a problem with shadow casting on the school yard.
• Willing to work with neighbor at 1321 Cabrillo Avenue regarding landscaping and fence issue raised
in letter to Commission.
Public comments:
• Mary Ann Martinez and Sue Martinez, 1321 Cabrillo Avenue; Rolando Pasquale, 2836 Hillside
Drive;and Peter Lu, 1315 Cabrillo Avenue;concerned that the project will take away more of the
light from the neighboring property,it appears to be much taller;the deviation from the declining
height envelope will impact the use of the garden of the neighbor's home;revise the design of the
wall outside the neighbor's dining room to improve the view;the neighbor is willing to accept having
the new home's rear wall at the same location as the rear wall of the existing home,spoke to Judith
O'Rourke at Our Lady of Angels,she indicated that she is obligated to inform the School Board of
the project;the relevant time to assess shadow impacts is during the fall and winter months;the
neighbors would not likely have a problem with a project of a similar size to the existing home;the
project is out of character with the neighborhood;moving the home back further on the lot would
affect the usability of neighbor's rear yard;could the design be revised to reduce the mass.
Additional Commission comments:
Would neighbor prefer the placement of the home closer to the street,or moved away to the rear by
4-feet;it will not likely impact the neighbor's garden(James Chu—the rear of the proposed home
and the neighbor's home are nearly equivalent;clarified that the maximum height of the structure is
25'/feet,roughly 8-inches taller than the neighboring home to the left).
• Clarified that the new home is still shorter than the existing home;similar to both neighbor's homes.
5
CITY OF BURLINGAME PLANNING COMMISSION—Approved Minutes June 23, 2008
• Clarified that new home is only 0.43-foot taller than the neighboring home.
• Requested clarification of front setback.
There were no further comments and the public hearing was closed.
Further Commission comments:
• Spoke to issue of presenting the project to Our Lady of Angels; if we look at shadow casting of this
residence, then the Commission must look at shadow casting of Our Lady of Angels on Cortez
Avenue.
• The two story home is only 8-inches taller than the adjacent home on the left; applicant has made an
effort to bring down the scale of the home to be more accommodating to the street;the porch design
makes the design approachable.
• The neighbor's input has resulted in a better project.
• The house is handsome; fits well, though there is more roof massing.
• Minimal impact upon the neighborhood; is appropriate design for the street.
• Not concerned with potential shadow impacts.
• Could be helpful in the future to have existing elevations submitted with a proposal for a new
residence.
• The project has been reduced in height by 4.5 feet.
• Suggested hipping the roofline on the second floor(rear)of the house; could be a benefit to the right
hand neighbor.
Commissioner Vistica moved to approve the application, by resolution, with the following amended
conditions:
1. that the project shall be built as shown on the plans submitted to the Planning Division date

The motion was seconded by Commissioner Terrones.
Discussion of motion:
■ Declining height envelope encroachment is inherent with the style; is there to enhance the
architecture of the project.
• House is pushed to one side to accommodate driveway and detached garage; places bulk at one
side of the lot; declining height envelope encroachment is minimized.
Chair Cauchi called fora voice vote on the motion to approve. The motion passed 5-0-1-1 (Commissioner
Auran recused, Commissioner Lindstrom absent). Appeal procedures were advised. This item concluded

AMENDMENT TO CONDITIONAL USE PERMITTO INCREASE THE FLOORAREA OF THE PROPOSED
PROFESSIONAL OFFICE BUILDING BY ADDING A FLOOR FOR THE PENINSULA HOSPITAL
REPLACEMENT PROJECT (MILLS-PENINSULA HEALTH SERVICES, APPLICANT; PENINSULA
HEALTH CARE DISTRICT, PROPERTY OWNER;AND ANSHEN+ALLEN,ARCHITECT) PROJECT
PLANNER: MAUREEN BROOKS
Reference staff report dated June 23,2008,with attachments. Senior Planner Brooks presented the report,
reviewed criteria and staff comments. One-hundred forty-six (146) conditions were suggested for
consideration.
Chair Cauchi opened the public hearing.
Commission comments:
• Have Mitigation monitoring panel disbanded 60-90 days following project completion, in case
problems occur at conclusion of project.
Chris Ovlen,Mills-Peninsula Health Services,1501 Trousdale Drive;Kevin Day,Anshen+Allen Architects;
and Larry Kollerer,program manager,Mills Peninsula Health Services;represented the applicant.
Commission comments:
• Requested clarification regarding the"foundation"business model.
• Concern regarding massing on EI Camino frontage.
• Concern regarding sheathing of HVAC enclosure(Day: will be painted the same tone as the metal
panels on lower levels);not persuaded that the type of screening is the best solution;Should give
some thought to a better treatment for the HVAC sheathing.
• Treatment of access road needs further thought as part of the overall project.
• Kiosk for valet parking;was encouraged so that there is advanced thought given to the design
• Not too concerned regarding the massing on EI Camino;feels that the bay window breaks up the
mass.
• Asked if the equipment sheath is tall enough to block equipment(Day—yes).
• Treatment of access road questioned(Kollerer—is primarily a fire road;would make more sense to
put money into other aspects. Believes that road view will be blocked by landscaping).
• The access road could become a highly used asset for nearby residents.
• Question regarding configuration of helipad; how is it treated; how visible is it(Ovlen-at same
height;but now a pre-fabricated steel structure).

regarding fire road;originally sold as a walking path akin to the healing gardens. Were told that it
was also a fire road;would need to be heavily surfaced to accommodate loads. At last health board
meeting it was stated that the new foundation is related to Palo Alto Medical Foundation merger. Is
the glass canopy going to shatter during an earthquake or other trauma? What is the total of freed
up beds that is moving to Magnolia Gardens? What services will be offered in the new facility;will
more and separate staff be hired? Will food service be from main hospital? All of this needs to be
taken into account in the new traffic analysis. Magnolia Gardens remodel;will it solely be under

State permitting, or will it come to the City for review? Spoke to public art and process for review.
Concerned that some aspects of outpatient services may be eliminated,as may be the helipad. Has
State heliport permit been issued for the helipad? Noted requirement that the Planning Commission
review any physical changes before facility licensed as a trauma center. Should consider an
additional condition stating that the helipad must be constructed and licensed for operation priorto
issuance of occupancy for the Professional Office Building. Additional floorwill outweigh benefits of
having a helipad from a cost consideration. Concern for employees is that everything must be put in
writing for everything to be done. Commented regarding fitness facility and whether it will be
included in the project. PC would be giving approval of a plan that may not benefit the entire
community. Concerned regarding some of the information in the packet to the Planning
Commission. Parking on Davis Drive may be closer than the parking garage. Have been asked to
consider having limited term parking in front of the residences on Davis Drive. Were told that Mills-
Peninsula would take care of the parking problems,and recited commitment from hospital CEO that
they would keep employee vehicles off the streets. Doesn't feel that their homes should be
devalued by placement of limited term parking. City should have more meetings with the
neighborhood to identify solutions to parking problem; consider closing down the alley. Could place
a guard at Marco Polo entrance to address parking problems. There are other alternatives that
haven't been considered. Questioned mitigation monitoring panel condition; does construction
include demolition of hospital, landscaping,will concerns and questions be addressed if they are not
construction related. Will the City create another venue to consider other issues? Doesn't believe
employees are the current parking problem; the guests and visitors are a problem. How many
vehicles will make the left turn from EI Camino Real to Trousdale Drive in the morning rush hour?
How will traffic conditions change?
Applicant response:
• Larry Kollerer and Chris Ovlen; noted that the Mills-Peninsula program cannot unilaterally be
changed. The fitness club facility is not an in-patient service; taking up valuable hospital space for
this type of service is a difficult choice, The administration understands the employee's desire, but it
comes down to changes in the length of stay of patients; demand for beds has increased beyond
what was anticipated. Helipad has not been used over a four-year period. At one time there were
occasional, sparse landings. It will remain in the plan; though it is unusual for a neighborhood to
request it. The cost for the helipad is not large. Getting a license now is not possible since it
wouldn't be in service until 2012. Believe that the present location can be licensed when the time is
right (City Attorney Anderson — noted that if the helipad is eliminated, the Conditional Use Permit
must be amended). Need to be able to open office building prior to construction of helipad since the
old hospital must be demolished before the helipad can be built. Magnolia Gardens is and will
remain a skilled nursing facility. Will place a comparable number of beds in facility to the number
removed. It will be a new state of the art facility. Did not count parking on Magnolia Gardens site.
Number of beds will be reduced; is only an internal remodel at this time. A larger project to upgrade
the mechanical systems will occur in a year. Glass canopy of the office building will meet seismic
codes.
Additional Commission comments:
• Health and fitness facility; is there a potential location within the office building (Kollerer - are
looking at other properties on Trousdale for the facility. The doctors have a higher need).
Additional Applicant response:
• Larry Kollerer; regarding access from Davis Drive; the hospital is willing to discuss closing this
access; could impact employees that live in the area; but if it is an issue, could be vetted at

CITY OF BURLINGAME PLANNING COMMISSION—Approved Minutes June 23, 2008
Mitigation Monitoring Panel meeting. Would need to gather opinions from a broader scope of the
neighborhood.
There were no further comments and the public hearing was closed.
Further Commission comments:
• First inclination is to support changes that will make hospital profitable and flexible to ensure that
proper healthcare is provided to the community. A bit nervous that added floor may create need to
eliminate other amenities; however, changes inherent in the prior approvals will need to be brought
back for further modifications; supportive of specifics presented regarding additional floor.
• Would like to see some modification to Condition 118 — allow 6-months for disbandment of
Mitigation Monitoring Panel; include demolition of hospital in construction definition.
• With respect to the fitness center; can see the trade-off if trying to be competitive.
• The proposal is an adaptation to promote better health care.
• Bring back sheathing of HVAC design as an FYI.
• Clarify treatment of fire access road.

131. that the Revised Project with cumulative development would result in LOS E operations on the EI
Camino Real/Trousdale Drive intersection during the AM & PM peak hours; one tum lane is
insufficient to accommodate this high turn volume; the project sponsor shall be responsible for
ensuring that sufficient capacity is available by converting the eastbound Trousdale Drive through
lane to a left-through lane,which would require the signal to operate in a split phase scheme in the
east-west direction; converting this lane would improve operations to LOS D,reducing this impactto
a less-than-significant level; (transportation; Public Works) (TR 11.1)
132. that the project sponsor shall be responsible for lengthening the left-tum pocket on northbound EI
Camino Real (to westbound Trousdale Drive) from about 180 feet to 475 feet; this improvement

a. maximizes the physical separation between noise generators and noise receptors; such
separation includes, but is not limited to, the following measures:
• use heavy-duty mufflers for stationary equipment and barriers around particularly
noisy areas of the site or around the entire site;
• use shields, impervious fences, or other physical sound barriers to inhibit
transmission of noise to sensitive receptors;
• locate stationary equipment to minimize noise impacts on the community; and
• minimize backing movements of equipment;
b. use quiet construction equipment whenever possible;
C. impact equipment (e.g., jack hammers 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. prohibits 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, hotels,and outdoor recreation areas, are avoided as much as possible; include
these routes in materials submitted to the City Planner for approval prior to the issuance of
building permits;
f. designate a noise disturbance coordinator who will be responsible for responding to
complaints about noise during construction;the telephone number of the noise disturbance
coordinator shall be conspicuously posted at the construction site and shall be provided to
the Burlingame Planning Director; copies of the construction schedule shall also be posted
at nearby noise-sensitive areas; (noise; Planning, Public Works, Building) (NO 1.1)

briefly presented the project description. There were no questions of staff.
Vice-Chair Terrones opened the public comment period.
Jose Jimenez, 178 Ravenswood Court, Lathrop; represented the applicant.
Commission comments:
■ Question regarding roofing material; will it be wood shake roof, plans are inconsistent (Jimenez —
would like to know preference).
■ Right side elevation; what is happening; there is a cantilevered piece over the garage, but couldn't
find it on the proposed rear elevation; correct and verify on plans.
■ Would like to see something more happening on the front of the house; but realize that the front is
not being touched.
■ A lot of stucco with vinyl windows; if windows were of a higher quality it would help the design; vinyl
typically discouraged; match the existing windows.
■ Consider a higher quality garage door; it is a very prominent feature.
■ There is an opportunity to improve the flow of the house; one sink servicing all bedrooms upstairs
will not serve the occupants well; not improving the pathways in the house, may wish to consider.
■ The side fagade of the house is important; consider looking at right elevation to see if there is
another option to make the addition look less like it is planted onto the rear.
■ Look at massing over the garage door; it is a face to the house.
■ Suggested lights in the garage door to enhance the appearance from the street and functionality.
■ Consider improving access to rear yard from the interior of the home.
Public comments:
■ Eunice Schoenamsgruber, 332 Clarendon; concerned regarding noise from construction process
(Jimenez — willing to work with neighbor to attempt to reduce noise during construction).

Peter Lam, 848 Folsom Street, San Francisco; represented the applicant.
■ The proposed roofing material exists on other structures in the area.
■ The opposing neighbor notes that the residence is at an important entry point to the neighborhood.
■ Provided photos that were distributed to the Commission.
Commission comments:
■ Asked for reason for making the change (Lam — applicant likes the style and wishes to use it).
■ Has the applicant considered a similar material that is shake style; ranch-style homes typically would
have had shake-style shingles.
■ If applicant is interested in a Spanish tile type roof, why not use Spanish style materials (Lam —
doesn't believe it to be Spanish in style).
Public comments:
■ None
There were no further comments and the public hearing was closed.
Additional Commission comments:
■ Tile roofs are common in Asia, but they are really tile, not the material proposed by the applicant.
Simply using the proposed tile because others have done it, is not a reason to use the material.
■ Suggested denial of application.
N The house is on a corner and is very visible.
■ Have consistently requested tile roofs with variable colors; there are other variations that could be
considered by the applicant.
Commissioner Terrones moved to deny the application without prejudice.
The motion was seconded by Commissioner Auran.
Discussion of motion:
■ None
Chair Cauchi called for a voice vote on the motion to deny without prejudice. The motion passed 5-0-2.

CITY OF BURLINGAME PLANNING COMMISSION— Unapproved Minutes July 14, 2008
Daniel Ewald, 1175 Folsom Street, San Francisco; represented the applicant. -�
■ Revisions due to cost and dynamic state of construction lending.
■ Most changes occur at the rear of the property; have attempted to recompose the rear fagade while
still leaving the option open to build the original project.
Commission comments:
■ South elevation; are there windows on the stairway (Ewald — the drawings do not show the
clerestory windows).
■ Seems like a good home for a generous front porch (Ewald—the issue was left open; the applicant
was more interested in using something more transparent like a trellis).
■ The roof over the stairwell is too unique;were other alternatives to the shed roof considered (Ewald
—the roof doesn't meet the larger gabled form and doesn't lend itself to being a dormer style).
■ There is a possibility that the second phase will never happen; the design should stand on its own;
the stairway appears awkward (Ewald—referenced elevations; may read better from other views).
■ Like the design; appears like an old-style sunroom.
Public comments:
Mary Hunt, 725 Vernon Way spoke:
■ Interested in seeing the plans (referred to plans in rear of chambers).
There were no further comments and the public hearing was closed. —�
Commissioner Brownrigg moved to approve the application, by resolution, with the following conditions:

CITY OF BURLINGAME PLANNING COMMISSION- Unapproved Minutes July 14, 2008
Commission comments:
• Does the same type of 10-foot easement (public right-of-way) exist along other lots on Kenmar
Way?
• Existing fence history (Meeker- legally in place via an encroachment permit).
Ora Hathaway, P, O. Box 150432, San Rafael; represented the applicant.
• Surveyor found the property lines and determined that Kenmar Way has a 10-foot easement(public
right-of-way) from the curb into the property.
• Tried to meet with all of the neighbors to address concerns expressed from neighbors and the
Commission.
• Also tried to address the bulk and mass and eliminated the need for the Variance; no longer
proposing to extend the fence, but will continue to request approval of an engineered retaining wall
on the rear with a wood fence above to match existing; pillars are being removed.
Additional Commission comments:
• Clarified scale of site plan.
• When encroachment permit applied for, was the design called out in the permit (Hathaway- not
known; though she suggested applying stucco and brick elements to improve appearance; applicant
would agree if conditioned); also remove lighting from the fence.
• The fence is an eyesore because of the bollards being off kilter and the lights; obtrusive.
Public comments: -�
Peter Davidson, 2694 Summit Drive; Pat Giorni, 1445 Balboa Avenue, Steve Sterling, 12 Kenmar Way; Joel
Weise, 3 Kenmar Way; and Cliff and Anne Righetti, 2705 Summit Drive spoke:
• Objections to view impacts.
• This applicant has been involved in four construction projects since 1989, none of which were
issued building permits. The encroachment onto Kenmar and Summit is most bothersome. The
original proposal that was withdrawn would have continued this encroachment.
• The family includes both an attorney and a structural engineerthat are involved in the project; is this
a conflict.
• There has been a pattern of withdrawing controversial items, then coming back again later for
approval.
• Questioned structural engineer's qualifications to certify the story poles.
• Need to verify the existence of the ten foot easement (public right-of-way). The encroachment
permit issued in 2002 does not reference an existing easement, it should have been referenced.
The extrapolation of the same encroachment down EI Prado may be justified on the grounds that
the original encroachment permit did not specify. The encroachment should be looked at to be
certain that it is represented accurately. Perhaps the fence should be removed.
• Neighbors are concerned with the addition and the fence.
• Has heard that multiple families are living in the house.
• People are trying to understand the accuracy of the story poles. Who certifies the story poles
(Cauchi - certified by a licensed surveyor). Concerned about having a family member certify
information.
• Majority of people on Kenmar Way would like another opportunity to provide more commentary.
Thinks everyone is entitled to do something with their property, but likes status quo (Cauchi-view
policy protects distant view; doesn't appear to be a significant impact).
6
CITY OF BURLINGAME PLANNING COMMISSION— Unapproved Minutes July 14, 2008
• Homes in the area are not grand. A larger home doesn't appear to fit into the neighborhood. The
addition would reduce some views and eliminate sunlight and reduce privacy. Not directly impacted
by proposal.
Further Commission comments:
• Requested clarification of route of stairway from deck; will the base be another stucco wall
(Hathaway—could be in order to provide more privacy. Proposed to continue the finish of the rear
wall).
• Will same railing be used on wood deck (Hathaway—yes).
• Landing of the staircase; how will it be treated (Hathaway— railing and a window for ventilation).
• Will there be a daycare center(Hathaway—grandchildren stay during the day, will not be a daycare
center).
There were no further comments and the public hearing was closed.
More Commission comments:
• Have received clarification and commitments regarding the fence from the applicant.
• Noted that average of block is taken from curb on plans, not from easement (note: average front
setback was calculated from property line).
• Applicant has worked well to modify the design, has eliminated Variances.
• The view intrusion from the Davidson property is no more significant than existing impact.
• Only outstanding design issue is the detailing of the rear stairway(materials,etc.). Can condition as
stucco base with wood rail.
• Should include a condition that the lights be removed from the post, stucco columns and add brick
elements; also do not extend the fence.
• Should include a condition that ensures that any change to the fence to extend it be brought back to
the Commission for review.
Commissioner Cauchi moved to approve the application, by resolution, with the following amended
conditions:
1. that the project shall be built as shown on the plans submitted to the Planning Division date stamped
July 7, 2008, sheets A-1 through A-10 and C-1, and that any changes to building materials, exterior

2. that the detailing of the rear stairway shall have a stucco base with a wood rail, and shall be
reviewed by the Planning Commission as an FYI, prior to construction,
3. that the existing fence shall be modified to be made of stucco with brick caps and all light elements
shall be removed, and the revised fence shall be reviewed by the Planning Commission as an FYI,
prior to construction; further, the fence shall not be extended unless the design of the extension is

CONVERSION OF RETAIL SPACE TO FINANCIAL INSTITUTION (WACHOVIA BANK) (ROB SHINE,
APPLICANT;ANN SABATINI, PROPERTY OWNER;AND CHRISTY BATES, CALLISON ARCHITECTS,
ARCHITECT) STAFF CONTACT: ERICA STROHMEIER
Reference staff report dated July 14, 2008,with attachments. Associate Planner Strohmeier presented the
report, reviewed criteria and staff comments. Eleven (11) conditions were suggested for consideration.
Chair Cauchi opened the public hearing.
Commission comments:
• How is parking handled for Wells-Fargo Bank (Strohmeier— unknown how parking works on Fox
Plaza Lane).
Andy Crosdale, Callison Architects, 1420 Fifth Avenue, Seattle; represented the applicant.
• Noted access from both sides of property to street parking. Average time for customers is three to
five minutes. Feels that the parking Variance should be accepted given the business
characteristics.
Additional Commission comments:
Concern about permitting a banking operation in a prime pedestrian area; concern about walkability,
concerned about the elevations on both sides, are putting in ATMs that will take away from the
pedestrian character. Most banking activity is done on-line, according to the property owner.
Consider a more pedestrian oriented treatment of the facades.
• Could add awnings to elevations to allow color to the building (Crosdale—awnings and planters are
simple options for the applicant) (note: planters will require an encroachment permit through the
Public Works Department).
• The recessed doors will be dark, the ATMs will impact pedestrian character; encourage more
pedestrian treatment to encourage people to walk from Steelhead Brewery to Stacks.
Public comments:
Pat Giorni, 1445 Balboa Avenue; and Bill Peterson, 2701 Mason Lane, San Mateo (representing the
property owner) spoke:
• Suggested placing the ATM at a location in the doorway so that it is more secure. The bank may
generate a bit of business.
• Agreed with improving the appearance of the building, but doesn't think it is a bad business to have
downtown.
• Provided information to support the parking Variance.
There were no further comments and the public hearing was closed.
City Attorney Anderson noted that the request does not include Design Review, any findings and conditions
should relate to the findings necessary for granting the parking Variance.
Further Commission comments:
9
CITY OF BURLINGAME PLANNING COMMISSION— Unapproved Minutes July 14, 2008
• Agree with comments regarding architectural design and window treatment. Though in favor of
bank use, is concerned about the potential traffic impacts.
• If it is true that Wachovia is intending to be a neighborhood business, there is an opportunity for
modifications to facades to add life to the building; amenities to attract people to the property.
• Further thought needs to be given to the architectural design.
• The design is very flat at the moment. Find ways to break of the planes of the building and provide
more architectural detailing.
• It would seem that there would be several mitigations for the parking Variance; would be
comfortable with requiring architectural treatments that would encourage pedestrian design changes
that mitigate the lack of parking and encourage walking to the facility. Should be continued with
direction to the applicant to look at creative options for fagade treatment.
• This particular use will not be as parking intense as other uses, but the treatment of the building
does not encourage pedestrian activity.
Commissioner Terrones moved to continue the application.
The motion was seconded by Commissioner Brownrigg.

8. PRESENTATION OF THE PREFERRED ALTERNATIVE FOR THE DOWNTOWN SPECIFIC PLAN —
STAFF CONTACT: WILLIAM MEEKER
Reference staff report dated July 14, 2008, with attachments. Community Development Director Meeker
introduced Kevin Gardiner and Matt Flynn of Kevin Gardiner&Associates, and described the purpose of the
presentation; an update to the Planning Commission regarding the recommendations of the Citizens
Advisory Committee (CAC) regarding the Burlingame Downtown Specific Plan.
Mr. Gardiner presented the CAC recommendations.
Chair Cauchi opened the public hearing.
Public comments:
Pat Giorni, 1445 Balboa Avenue; John Root, 27 Crossway Road; Jennifer Pfaff, 615 Bayswater Avenue,
Charles Voltz, 755 Vernon Way; Stephen Hamilton, 105 Crescent Avenue; Joe Putnam, 3 California Drive;
and Sarah Mahorter, 816 Peninsula Avenue spoke:
• Thanked citizens for their input.
• Applauded the idea of housing downtown.
• A 75-foot height limit allows a lot of building. Feels that 75-foot heights start to say"small city'; we
are a small town. Once we begin approaching 55-feet, we will start to look like parts of San Mateo
and Millbrae; will start to lose some of the human scale that currently exists downtown. Feels 55-
feet should be the maximum height allowed. This has, in theory been allowed since 1955, however,
very few buildings of this height have been built. If other development standards are revised, this
could encourage taller developments.
• The north end of the City is the appropriate place to add more people. If we build opportunities,
more people will come.
• Noted that high-speed rail ballot measure may pass; if it does, there will be grade separation that
could affect commercial uses on the east side of the railroad; this must be taken into consideration.
Noise is an issue; when electrification arrives, CalTrain is planning to run up to twelve trains per
hour during peak time; where housing is placed should take into account this change.
• The plans for California Drive open space (near Stacks)would improve traffic conditions in the area.
• It should be easier for future development to occur since there will be a current vision of how we
wish to have development proceed.
• Design review downtown is important, need to have some oversight. The proposed Building heights
have existed for years (in most instances), will not raise height limits except for a small portion of
Chapin Avenue.
• The specific plan process has been a good process.
• Expressed concern regarding the City's separation of the Safeway Working Group and the
Downtown Specific Plan processes. Has resulted in a"no man's land", underground parking is not
11
CITY OF BURLINGAME PLANNING COMMISSION— Unapproved Minutes July 14, 2008
being addressed by either group. The Safeway site will encompass the largest development in the
downtown. Parking is a nexus that must be addressed. The current configuration of parking lots
could not accommodate a single large structure, with the possible exception of the lots adjacent to
the Library. It is conceivable that the Safeway site could accommodate an underground lot of a
sufficient size. There is no place for this approach to parking to be evaluated in either of the
processes. Encouraged the Commission to look at the issue. Look at values of existing parking lot
assets that could be sold, or otherwise leveraged to obtain funds for a large underground parking
lot.
• Regarding property at 1100 Peninsula Avenue(vehicle storage for Putnam Volvo). Pointed outthat
it is currently used for storage purposes, but is zoned for residential use. Seems inconsistent and
perhaps unfair to limit height to 55-feet on this property. Financial institutions are more thorough
than in the past, and are looking at the value of assets much more closely; if the height limit changes
for this property, it will affect its value. Need the 75-foot height limit, will affect the ability for the
business to function financially. Encouraged changing the 75-foot height limit to encompass the
property in question. Supports placing housing uses over auto showroom uses.
• Encouraged policies to ensure that Burlingame is a safe place for bicyclists.
Commission comments:
• Noted that CAC looked very closely at each of the subject areas presented bythe consultant; height
limits weren't arbitrarily recommended; but were thought through. All issues that were addressed by
CAC necessarily must work within the framework of other aspects of the planning for the downtown
area; all issues must work together to meet the overall requirements of the specific plan.
• With respect to streetscape; the CAC looked closely at tree placement and species selection, this
needs to be addressed in the plan.
• Evaluation of line between Subareas A and B; need to capture a potential re-evaluation of this
dividing line, or whether such a differentiation needs to exist.
• Neighborhood serving commercial uses; needed in area south of downtown, but also why not in the
other areas. Mixed-use in the Anita Road/Myrtle Road area should also be an option.
• Not particularly supportive of having the post office eliminated as a use downtown; thinks it is a
good, walkable downtown use, but site could use some reworking.
• Very little has happened with past planning efforts in the City. The Plan needs to also focus on how
investment/development in the area can occur and be encouraged; particularly with City assets such
as the parking lots.
• Howard Avenue does not appear to be fully analyzed; what is the vision for Howard Avenue, this
must be addressed; how will it be enlivened.
• With respect to parking; the recommendations don't appear to specifically support underground
parking; the CAC should go on record as stating a position regarding this issue. Don't leave things
off the table because the CAC doesn't think it can be done. Where do the employees park;where is
long term parking. The parking scheme is not revolutionary. Make certain that adequate parking
exists. Be more aggressive with parking solutions to ensure adequate parking exists and to promote
investment in the downtown.
• Encouraged housing downtown, but provide affordable opportunities. Consider ownership;
condominiums versus rental.
• Should the guidelines be continued along California Drive northward, outside of the study area.
• Design review should be required for all projects within the Downtown area.
• Need to identify funding sources and cost for improvements.
• With respect to Howard and Chapin,the CAC did discuss connections between the areas; amenities
(e.g. open space opportunities, etc.)that keep you moving through the area.
There were no further comments and the public hearing was closed.

FOR ATTACHED GARAGE FOR A FIRST AND SECOND STORY ADDITION TO A SINGLE FAMILY
DWELLING (JAMES NEUBERT,APPLICANT AND ARCHITECT;AND JAKE AND VICTORIA CACCIATO,
PROPERTY OWNERS) STAFF CONTACT: LISA WHITMAN
Reference staff report dated July 14, 2008, with attachments. Associate Planner Strohmeier briefly
presented the project description. There were no questions of staff.
Chair Cauchi opened the public comment period.
• Chair Cauchi noted the lack of a site posting for design review.
Jake Cacciato, 1600 Adeline Drive and James Neubert, 1291 Hillsdale Boulevard, San Mateo; represented
the applicant.
Commission comments:
• Generally supportive of request for Special Permit for the garage.
• The design is well integrated.
Questioned trim around windows; will the existing simple stucco molding be replaced with the new
design (Neubert—yes, will leave the existing windows, but replace the trim).
• In the landing area above the stairs,why is there a change in the plane of the wall next to the garage
(Neubert—the garage is substandard in length,wanted to extend length, thought the design looked
better).
• Like the design and the materials called out; will the vent be wood (Neubert — will look like pre-
fabricated wood).
• The design of the roof over the garage; has thought been given to providing brackets under the
eaves (Cacciato —willing to consider).
• Suggested adding windows to stairwell at rear fagade; add light to stairwell (Neubert—suggested
adding a skylight in order to prevent impacting neighbor's privacy).
• Would be nice to add a window in bedroom 4 to break up the wall in front (Neubert—due to budget,
attempting not to disturb existing house).
• Consider adding a transom window on the southwest elevation.
• Add clerestory windows on the west elevation.
• Commission has been supportive of encouraging front porches even if a slight Variance is needed
in order to improve the entry to homes (Neubert — the proposed design was partly affected by
setback and the budget).
• Offset at 2n floor landing doesn't appear to match at the ground floor;will be difficult to waterproof;
clarify.
• The garage door selection is good; be certain that the design shown is used in the end product.
Public comments:
Pat Giorni, 1445 Balboa Avenue; spoke:
13
CITY OF BURLINGAME PLANNING COMMISSION— Unapproved Minutes July 14, 2008
• Applauds the design work. Lost a lot of privacy with the house at 1505 Balboa Avenue. Most of his
living is now viewed by the neighbors.
There were no other comments from the floor and the public hearing was closed.
Commissioner Terrones made a motion to place the item on the Consent Calendar when complete.
This motion was seconded by Commissioner Auran.
Discussion of motion:
• Provide direction as noted in Commission commentary.
Chair Cauchi called for a vote on the motion to place this item on the Consent Calendar when plans have

RAFTER, ARCHITECT) STAFF CONTACT: RUBEN HURIN
Reference staff report dated July 14, 2008, with attachments. Community Development Director Meeker
briefly presented the project description. There were no questions of staff.
Chair Cauchi opened the public comment period.
Amanda and Vivian Larkin, 1461 Balboa Avenue and Barry Rafter, 130 EI Bosque Drive, San Jose;
represented the applicant.
Commission comments:
• Need a more detailed landscape plan; will want to soften the building line where the building meets
the ground. Is there a way to reduce the amount of lawn area proposed? Typically a planter area is
provided in front of the home to soften the transition between the ground and the base of the home.
• Close the maximum FAR;there is a bit of inefficiency to the ground floor, rooms could be integrated
without hallway space; could provide a more gracious porch if the floor plan were more efficient.
• There are large areas of stucco; could be taken closer to a Tudor design; the belly band on the west
elevation could be terminated better, currently doesn't turn the corner.
• Could create a larger front porch.
• There is a lot of blank stucco on the south elevation; wood brackets/corbels should be provided
below the bays.
• On the north elevation, there is a blank stucco wall below; look at a means of improving the
appearance of the stairwell.
• The Tudor design needs a lot of work; there may not be enough Tudor elements to truly define it
as such. The half timbers look like an afterthought. Each of the window sills need to be heavy
wood. A diamond patterned window on the front would look good. Tudor is not a box with a few
windows.
• At the kitchen and dining room, center the windows on the first floor to the bay windows above.
• Would like to see material sizes called out on the plans.
14
CITY OF BURLINGAME PLANNING COMMISSION— Unapproved Minutes July 14, 2008
• Attic vent is placed in the middle of a beam, and it is metal; use another style that is more
appropriate.
• Consider using pervious materials for the driveway in the rear(Larkin — using cobblestones).
• Garage should be designed consistent with the style of the home.
Public comments:
Pat Giorni, 1445 Balboa Avenue and Jeffrey Wright, 1465 Balboa Avenue spoke:
• The new home design bears no resemblance to what is being removed; it would be nice to keep the
same style as the existing home.
• Look to a nearby Tudor style house for design references if a Tudor design is proposed.
• Four bedrooms and four bathrooms place a lot of strain on the small lot; the rooms are small.
• Generally supportive, but not of the window on the stairwell because it would look into bedroom at
1465 Balboa Avenue.
There were no other comments from the floor and the public hearing was closed.
Additional Commission comments:
• Questioned why the existing floor area information was provided (Strohmeier — the Planning
Commission had previously requested existing square footage information for existing homes to be
provided).
• Appears to be a declining height violation in the cathedral over the stairway (Strohmeier—it is roof
area so it does not count toward declining height envelope).
• Should be sent to design reviewer who has Tudor style design experience,
Commissioner Brownrigg made a motion to refer the project to a design reviewer.
This motion was seconded by Commissioner Terrones.
Discussion of motion:
• Not certain that Tudor design is the correct choice for the lot.
• Design reviewer may steer design to another style.
Chair Cauchi called for a vote on the motion to refer the project to a design reviewer. The motion passed on
a voice vote 5-0-2. (Commissioners Lindstrom and Vistica absent). The Planning Commission's action is

CITY OF BURLINGAME PLANNING COMMISSION— Unapproved Minutes July 14, 2008
David Hirzel, 5009 Palmetto Avenue, Pacifica; represented the applicant:
• The parcel is odd shaped.
• The existing garage cannot accommodate two cars,would like to reconfigure it and expand to allow
widening of garage door.
• The laundry area is original to the house; wish to convert to a more useable space.
• The diagonal wall on the first floor is reflected on the second floor as well.
• The second story wall is stepped back due to the Declining Height Envelope.
• To have right angled walls on the second floor would be inconsistent with the first floor design.
Commission comments:
• Asked if the fence on right-hand side is to stay (Hirzel —yes)
• Asked if stairs are to be installed to provide access to rear yard (Hirzel—not intending to do so; the
rear-porch is at the same level as the first floor).
• Three foot clearance in the kitchen is not really accessible(Hirzel—not intended to make it fully ADA
accessible, only looking at the needs of the client).
• Odd-shaped lot is partial justification for the Variance; but justification for additional 26-square feet is
not as strong (Hirzel —expansion of garage to permit two cars is intended, but not necessary).
• General concerns about extending kitchen into the front porch; renders the porch essentially
unusable; reduces it to a stoop; could push kitchen back into the living room and expand at rear,
while still keeping utility of porch.
• Nothing extraordinary about the addition; limited support for the Variance.

Dennis Creedon, 2012 Devereaux Drive spoke:
• Concerned about loss of light and privacy to his lot.
• The lot is not conducive to the addition proposed.
There were no other comments from the floor and the public hearing was closed.
Additional Commission comments:
• Trying to place alot on the lot.
• There is an opportunity to expand the kitchen elsewhere without reducing porch.
• Should visit 2012 Devereaux to determine impacts; not enough information to make a judgment.
• Given the odd shape lot and proximity to neighbor, require preparation of a shadow study to
complete the application.
Commissioner Cauchi made a motion to refer to the project to a design reviewer with direction to prepare a
shadow study to assist in assessing impacts upon neighboring properties.
This motion was seconded by Commissioner Terrones.
Discussion of motion:
• None
Chair Cauchi called for a vote on the motion to refer the project to a design reviewer. The motion passed on
a voice vote 5-0-2. (Commissioners Lindstrom and Vistica absent). The Planning Commission's action is

JUNE PERMIT ACTIVITY
** No permits for new commercial buildings were issued in June. A permit with a valuation of about$12,000,000 was issued in June 2007 for the Sunrise Assisted
Living Facility at 1818 Trousdale.This is the reason for the apparent gap between the permit activity for June 2007 and June 2008. Construction activity is down in
many categories. However, despite the economic downturn permits for three new single family dwellings were issued in June 2008.
** No pre-applications were held in June.

CITY OF B URLINGAME
INTER-DEPARTMENT MEMO
TO: Jim Nantell, City Manager
FROM: Jack Van Etten, Police Chief
DATE: June 16, 2008
RE: Staff Recommendation - Smart Meter Study
Attached is a summary and recommendation relative to Burlingame's study to consider
implementing "smart meter"technology. The study of various vendors (which is also attached)
was completed by Sergeant Don Shepley who was the police departments' staff representative at
the time of the study. There was also input from other city sources at the time of the study
(finance and traffic engineering).
As you can see in the attached documents, there are both pros and cons when considering the
implementation of smart parking technology. Staff has recommended against implementing
smart meter technology at this time. The recommendation against changing to smart meter
technology is based on several main important factors that need to be considered and are listed as
follows:
1) The complexity of meter use which leads to inconvenience (and frustration) on the part of
the public (inconvenient for those with change as it takes added time to operate, and
especially during times of inclement weather, as the location of the meters are farther
away from the parking stall).
2) The high cost to purchase and maintain the meters (during uncertain economic times);
3) The additional fees associated with (and required to operate), the machines;
4) The potential increase cost in meter time to help off set the added costs of the new
technology;
5) The possible addition of finance or other personnel for the additional support that will be
required to monitor the finance and payment portions (and repair) of the systems.
Cc: City Council
Burlingame Police Department
Inter-Oce Memorandum
TC? Chief Jack Van Etten
FROM: Sergeant Don Shepley
DATE: 5/22/2008
RE: Smart Meter Summary and Recommendation
BACKGROUND:
In 2006,the police department,finance department,and engineering department were involved in a joint"smart
meter"meeting and study. The police department's portion of this study was completed in 2007(attachments A,
B,&C).This memo serves as a summary of the police department's study and the police department's
recommendation.
The involved departments looked at two basic systems from differing vendors. The simplest system was a debit
card system The second system was a pay-by-space system. Each system was studied and summarized in
attachments A,B and C.Additionally,attachment D is a recent newspaper article about the status of the Redwood
City smart meters and some of the citizen user issues associated with their use.
DEBIT SYSTEMS:
"Parcxmart"and"POM"are both debit card oriented systems. Debit cards can be sold by our city and/or our
merchants. These are the only debit cards that can be used in the meters. The two main issues with debit card
systems are they have to be marketed and they will require an upgrade to our meters.
Currently,Burlingame has approximately 1650 meters.Only 150 of these meters are debit card ready.However,
even these newer meters will require a$75/upgrade to be fully debit card ready. The additional 1500 meters will
need to be replaced with new mechanisms costing$225.00 each.Existing meter housings will also need to be
replaced at a cost of$250 per meter.This system and partial conversion will cost the city approximately$723,750
in meter upgrades.This cost doesn't take into account any labor costs necessary for the upgrade.Additionally,
Parcxmart will collect 10%of the revenue we collect through debit card usage.
Once past the fiscal cost of the system,it will only be used as much as the success of the marketing of the system.
People residing in areas other than Burlingame may never hear of this parking system, so the main benefit will be
for those in town who hear of the system and would be willing to purchase debit cards.
PAY-BY-SPACE SYSTEMS:
Two vendors for pay-by-space machines were also considered and examined.The first vendor was"VenTek."
The second vendor was"Digital." Digital is the same vendor the City of Redwood City is using. Both
vendors/brands have similar features and costs.VenTek is the manufacturer of our long term parking pay-by-
space machines.The vast majority of our current pay-by-space machines are not state of the art with the exception
of one machine. Our newest machine is not utilizing its full potential for reasons that will soon be clear.
The state of the art pay-by-space machines have such features as being able make change,accept credit card
payments,cell phone payments,provide expiration noticing, etc.The features mentioned above are what the
public seems most interested. Thus,they fill the need that most citizens desire when they say they want"smart
meters."
These features are rather expensive.The machines are approximately$9,000 each. For Burlingame Avenue alone,
the city would need to install 7 to 10 machines as they service 10 to 15 parking spaces.Thus,Burlingame Avenue
alone would cost the city$63,000 to$100,000 in initial equipment costs.In addition to this,there is the
reoccurring monthly cost of$65 a machine per month($780 a machine per year)for cell phone and credit card
connection.Use of cell phones to pay a parking fee would cost 25 to 50 cents per transaction.The credit card
institutions would also charge 2%to 3%of the collected revenues. "Smart meters"also require additional
maintenance. Malfunctions can take up to a week to repair.We may find the need for additional personnel to
maintain these machines.
The other significant issue with"smart meters"is that they are more difficult to operate.Our current pay-by-space
machines had a learning curve for the parking public who use them.The current pay-by-space parking machines
are located in our long term parking areas where the users are repeat users.If we were to utilize pay-by-space
machines for on street parking,in Burlingame's shopping districts,there would be a higher ratio of new to repeat
users. New users will have to go through this learning curve.One should also keep in mind that as features are
added to our"smart meters,"potential for increased frustration is also added.
RECOMMENDATION:
Each system that has been explored has its share of advantages and disadvantages. However,none of these
systems are free.There will be a financial cost that the City of Burlingame which will either have to absorb or
pass onto our citizens.There are two costs.The first cost is the direct cost of purchasing and maintaining each
system.The second cost is the increased cost of personnel to maintain each of the systems. A smarter parking
system will have a higher cost.
The second issue is that"smart meters"offer a higher degree of frustration for the users.Redwood City has
moved to the pay-by-space"smart meter"system. It has been well publicized that the public in Redwood City has
been frustrated by the pay-by-space system
Thus,the police department is recommending against replacing our current parking system for two reasons.Any
new system will be expensive,and our City continues to face uncertain financial times.Secondly,it has been
shown that"smart meters"are more difficult to use and may cause the public we serve more frustration than our
current parking system.

System
The meters on Burlingame Ave will not accept debit cards. However, they are in
need of replacement. The need for replacement is what brought this issue up as our
current meters are nearing the end of their life expectancy.
POM is our current vendor for parking meters. POM has their own proprietary
debit card system, but has referred us to parcxmart if Y,
we wish to expand the debit card capabilities. One
important feature is auditing.
We initially thought we could add debit card
usage to our pay-by-space machines. However, this
is not an option. Pay-by-space technology is oriented
towards credit card use. This will be discussed under
the pay-by-space portion of this report.
Debit card use will require merchants, City Hall, the Police Department, and/or an
entity such as the Chamber of Commerce to sell and
reload debit cards. Parcxmart debit cards can be
used for meters and purchase merchandise from the
merchants who are members of this system.
* ; To be successful, this program must be
:-�`— marketed. parcxmart says they will help with the
initial marketing. They will provide approximately
10 terminals for the first merchants who sign up for
this system.
parcxmart states we will save money by not having to collect as may coins. This
is due to the handling of less change. This system also protects from skimming, which is
not occurring, and loss of money due to the theft of meters and the change in the meters.

Method of Use
Users of the parcxmart system will purchase debit cards from participating
merchants and other access points. They can put any amount of money on the debit
cards. Typical amounts would be$25 to $100 per deposit. They can be purchased with
cash or credit cards. The cards are then inserted into the front of the meter and the citizen
determines how much time they wish to put on the meter by pushing a button on the front
of the meter. They cannot exceed the maximum time limit. Citizens will not receive a
refund for unused time.
It should be noted that meter personnel still need to visit each and every meter to
for revenue collection. Two collection activities need to take place. The first activity is
the collection of coins. The second activity is an electronic activity. The meter Thus, it
does not seem likely the City of Burlingame would save money by cutting personnel
costs. Our main benefit would be the limiting of losses when a meter, and the coins
deposited within, is stolen.
Costs
parcxmart technology requires the City of Burlingame replace our meters. New
meters mechanisms are $150 each. The card reader for these meters is an additional
$75.00. Our oldest meters do not accept parcxmart debit cards. Currently, we only have
about 150 meters that can be updated to accept parcxmart cards. These meters will need
the $75.00 card reader to be installed.
In addition to this, the overwhelming majority of our meter housings will also
have to be replaced as they do not have a slot for debit cards. The housings are
approximately$250 each.
Cons
• This is a locally marketed system. It requires parcxmart marketing to be a
success.
• Cards issued in other cities can be used in Burlingame meters. However, these
are few and far between. The closest is Truckee California.
• Not very hi-tech. Debit card options only.
• No refund to the citizen for unused time.
• 10%of parcxmart meter revenue is collected by parcxmart.
• $500 to upgrade each meter to parcxmart capability.
Pros
• Merchants are reported to enjoy this system as they do not have to make change
for customers.
• Merchants who agree to charge debit cards are reimbursed by parcxmart for credit
card fees.
• Can use existing meter system (only the meter mechanism needs to be replaced) .
Thus,the initial set-up will be cheaper and easier.
• Meters do not have the same reliability issues as pay-by-space machines. When a
meter goes down, it impacts only one parking space. Pay-by-space machines
suffer increased failure rates during wet weather. When a pay-by-space machine
goes down, and they do go down frequently, multiple spaces are impacted. This
causes stress on our public and meter maintenance staff.

System
POM is the current manufacturer of our parking meters. They offer a much
simpler system than parcxmart for debit card use in our meters. However, POM has audit
issues. Also, POM does not offer merchants the ability to sell merchandise through the
debit card feature parcxmart offers. This may be a moot point as this parcxmart feature
may have extremely low usage for making purchases from merchants. Also, this feature
has nothing to do with parking other than it may help market the pacxmart system. This
could generate higher usage of debit cards in single space parking meters.
This debit card system uses POM's Card Manager
software. POM will provide this to the City of Burlingame free
of charge. They will issue as many copies of this software that !'.l
we request. In turn,we can issue this software to entities such
as the Chamber of Commerce and merchants. Effectively, the
Chamber and merchants would become access points for
purchasing and reloading debit cards.
However, it will have to be a very motivated entity that
handles this function for us. When a person charges a debit
card with the Card Manager software and reader, the money
goes into the entities bank account. For example, if a citizen puts $50 on a debit card, the
money would then go into the Chamber's bank account. The City will have to go the
Chamber on a periodic basis to see how much money was collected. The City would
then request that this money be transmitted to the City of Burlingame. One way of doing
this would be requesting the Chamber issue a check to the City of Burlingame. As there
are credit card fees associated with credit cards being used to charge the debit card, the
City would have to reimburse the Chamber for their credit card merchant fees.
A theft issue also exists. The software tracks how much money was received at
an access point. However, it can be manipulated by the user. Eventually, it will be
discovered as the revenues at meter collection sites will not match the revenues reported
by each access point. An involved investigation will be needed to figure out where the
theft is occurring. Thus, the City will have to be very careful in the distribution of access
points (Card Management software and readers).
I spoke with George Reynolds of San Francisco's Department of Transportation.
They use a system similar to POMs. However, they are using MacKay meters. He says
the system seems to be working. However, marketing has been a challenge. It is difficult
to get access points, and it is difficult to put citizens in touch with access points.
Method of Use
Citizens will use this system by purchasing rechargeable debit cards at City
defined access points. Typically, a citizen will load a debit card with$25 to $100.
The cards are then inserted into meter. The meter removes the maximum amount
of time/money that a meter can legally be used. For instance, Burlingame Av is 25 cents
for 20 minutes, and the maximum amount of time that a citizen can park there is 1 hours.
Thus, 75 cents will be removed from the card. A ten hour meter would also remove 10
hours of time/money. When the citizen returns, he/she inserts his/her card into the meter
and unused time is placed back on the card. Time/money can only be refunded to the
card it was taken from.
Costs
The Card Manager software can be installed on any PC. We will have to
purchase Card Manager debit readers for each access point. The cost of these readers is
$150 each. In addition to this, we will need to purchase debit cards. These are $3 to $5
each depending on the artwork that is placed on the cards. These cards can be reloaded
multiple times. To ensure the cards are reloaded, and not thrown away, a deposit can be
charged.
POM also manufactures ATM style loading stations. These cost approximately
$7,000 to $10,000 each. These could be installed in a downtown area.
As with the parcxmart system, we will have to update our meter mechanisms and
meters. Again, the meter mechanisms are $150 each, and the housings are $250 each.
The card readers, which need to be installed in each meter, are $30. The POM debit card
readers are cheaper than the $75 parcxmart debit card readers.
Cons
• Credit card fees assessed to entity managing access points. This will make it
difficult to generate interest with entities such as merchants and the Chamber to
become an access point.
• May be difficult to find trustworthy businesses/organizations to load debit cards.
• $450 to upgrade each meter to be compatible with POM debit cards.
• Banking fees are lower than parxmart, but collection of parking fees and audit
issues will be problematic.
Pros
• Other than setup cost and credit card charges, City keeps all revenues collected
through this system.
• Citizen is only charged for the time used as unused time on a meter is refunded to
the card used to charge the meter.

z
System
The City of Burlingame has been purchasing pay-by-space machines
manufactured by VenTek. With today's technology, pay-by-space machines provide the
only parking solution that comes close to using the term "Smart Meter". We also looked
a Digital pay-by-space machines. We found these had the same functionality, costs, and
operating costs as VenTek machines.
VenTek will install a machine for a 90 day test and evaluation period. They will
strongly request we staff the machine with a PEO during peak parking hours to aid
citizens in using the evaluation machine's features. This is to ensure they machine's
successful use and implementation.
VenTek's machines have the following features:
�' #" • Internet-enabled
• Optional Wireless Connectivity
• Real Time Credit Card
_ • Cell Payment Option
� ' • Accepts Bills & Coins
• Makes Change
k • Audible Instructions
• ATM Style Interface
• Remote Notification
• Intrusion Alarm
• Real Time Auditing
• ADA Compliant
• Solar Powered
• Extensible For Future Expansion
When substituting on street meters with pay-by-space machines, our vendor,
Pacific Parking Solutions, suggests that one pay-by-space machine should be installed for
every 10 to 15 parking spaces. Pacific Parking Solutions has found if the ratio of parking
spaces to pay-by-space machines is higher than this, citizens will suffer frustration.
Pacific Parking Solutions also states that debit cards with parking solutions are
not effective. They need to be marketed. The limitations cities face in marketing debit
cards results in low citizen usage. Credit cards (VISA, Master Card, American Express,
etc...) are already marketed and are recognized worldwide. Thus, anyone who visits
Burlingame would understand they can use a credit card to pay for their parking
privileges. This will not be true if we use parcxmart or POM debit cards. These systems
will only be recognized by frequent visitors to Burlingame.
Audit Features
There are numerous audit reports that can be produced with the pay-by-space
machine's software. These can be used to determine vehicle turn over. They can also be
used to determine how much money has been collected, when it was collected, and where
it should be (in the machine through coin and bill acceptance or the bank through credit
card transactions).

In addition to this, cell phone enabled pay-by-space machines can be programmed
to notify our meter technicians when there is a failure or status that needs attention.
Currently, we have to wait for citizens to contact us when they experience a problem to
repair a machine. This new system will decrease citizen frustration with machines
suffering a failure.
The messages a smart meter can send are system states such as coin and bill
acceptors full, low change for the public, low battery, complete shutdown, etc... They
can also notify us when meters suffer vandalism (impact) or are broken into for cash.
Meter technicians can be contacted by e-mail, landline (our dispatch center), and cell
phone.
Method of Use
These machines will operate similar as our current pay-by-space machines.
However, they can be programmed for timed parking. If they were to be placed on an
area such as Burlingame Av, they can be set for 1 hour parking. They will also offer
many more features than our current machines do.
The PEO will no longer look for meters displaying a red flag. The PEO will need
to print out a receipt from each pay-by-space machine. The receipt will show when each
parking space has or will expire. Citations will be issued based on this report.
Costs
Smart pay-by-space machines cost $8,000 to $10,000 each. We cantrade in our
current pay-by-space machines to replace the machines in our long term parking lots.
We will receive approximately a$3,000 credit for our old machines.
When a credit card is used, there are usage fees. Each transaction will be 5 to 15
cents depending on usage. It is anticipated that Burlingame's usage fee will be closer to
15 cents a transaction. This is due to low usage. In addition to this, 2 to 3 percent of
parking revenues will be levied on each transaction.
Each parking space will need to have the space number painted on the ground.
Citizens will then go to the closest machine and deposit coins, bills, or credit cards for the
amount of time they wish to park. They will have to enter the parking spot they park in.
Cell phones can also be used to pay for parking. It is anticipated that a 25 to 50 cent
charge will be levied on each cell phone transaction. This is in addition to the above
mentioned credit cards. These machines also offer the ability to notify citizens, via their
cell phone, when their time is about to expire.
Credit card features come with monthly fees. There are two fees. The first is a
$35 a month cell phone bill as each machine has a built in cell phone to communicate
with credit card companies and citizen cell phones. In addition to this, there is a$30 a
month fee for the banking features (credit card transactions and deposits into City bank
accounts).
Cons
• High operating cost will either impact City revenues or be passed onto the
citizen/user.
• Citizens will have to walk to a pay-by-space machine to pay for parking. They
may find this inconvenient.
• The smarter the meter, the more opportunity for citizens to make errors in their
use. This causes frustration when citizens receive citations. The administrative
review officer will have to fairly decide if, when, and why to dismiss citations.
• Pay-by-space machines have reliability issues. This is especially true during
periods of inclement weather. Even during good weather, the smart meter has
more features to selectively fail or completely fail. When smart meters fail they
cause inconvenience for citizens and staff.
• Smart meters are subject to game playing. For example, cell phone technology
enables citizens to watch for PEOs then pay as they approach.
• $780 (cell connection and banking features) a year per machine for cell features
and banking.
Pros
• Only parking system that can be considered smart. Citizens that use these meters
will find an enhanced parking system.
• Credit card based system has marketing in place to aid in higher citizen
participation of smart meter features.
• Strong audit features.

Subject: FCC Regulatory Fee Change
Dear Mr. Jesus Nava:
Although, in August 2007 we adjusted the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
regulatory fee, we are sending you this letter as a courtesy.
The prior, 2007 annual fee was $0.79 per customer. The revised annual fee for the
period October 1, 2007 through September 30, 2008 is $0.75 per customer - a total
annual decrease of $0.04.
The revised annual FCC fee of $0.75 was recovered as a $0.06 pass-through item on
customers' bills beginning October 1, 2007 through June 30, 2008.
Beginning July 1, 2008, through September 30, 2008, the FCC regulatory fee will
increase to a $0.07.
This annual regulatory fee is assessed by the FCC to recover the costs of such
activities as policy and rulemaking. This fee is recovered by the cable operator from all
regulated and unregulated systems as a separate, line item pass-through on the
customers' bills.
If you have any questions, please contact your local Government Affairs Director, Lee-
Ann Peling at (415) 715-0549.
Sincerely,
