1. CONTRACTORtS STORAGE YARD
Morris K. Daley, General Contractor, in attendance, discussed with
Commissioners the establishment of a storage, -yard for contractor's
equipment and materials on the rear portion of a lot adjoining his
office at 1145-47 California Drive. Questioned by the Commission,
Mr. Daley stated that he had not planned to roof the storage area.
Members suggested to Mr. Daley that he file a formal application for
a Variance to permit the storage yard for presentation at the Study
Meeting in November, accompanied by front and rear elevations on the
lot. City Engineer Marr requested further detail on the drainage and
the driveway layout.
2. REAR ADDITION TO APARTMENT BUILDING
Mr. and Mrs. N. Lucich, owners of an apartment building at 1224
Bellevue Avenue, advised the Commission of their plan to construct
a covered porch addition extending out from the rear of a second
story apartment.
Planning Consultant Mann reminded Commissioners of the Ordinance pro-
vision for a 15 foot set -back at the rear of a building and stated
further that the set -back on the Lucich property varies from 8 to 22
feet. The proposed porch would require a Variance to build within
the set -back line.
Members agreed to inspect the site and requested Mr. Lucich to file
a formal Variance application for presentation at the November Study
meeting accompanied by a scaled plot plan of the property, also a
plan of the improvements.
3. BETTER BURLINGAME ASSOCIATION
Mr. Raimund Wurlitzer, member of the Better Burlingame Association,
presented to the Commission a proposal for improving the Burlingame
Avenue business district. The Association aim is to invite shoppers
to an attractive modern shopping center and a tentative plan has been
proposed to run a uniform marquee along the front of all the stores
on the Avenue. Mr. Wurlitzer reported that there are many problems
to be resolved with the property owners and if the marquee idea is
acceptable, an amendment to the sign ordinance may be involved.

4. REZONING OF CROSSWAY ROAD
Mrs. M. Y. Dudgeon, property owner at 830 Crossway Road, Burlingame,
discussed with the Commission the possibility of rezoning her
property from R-1 to R-2. Planning Consultant Mann advised the
members that generally the area is single family dwellings although
a large portion of the area is R-2. The Commission suggested to
Mrs. Dudgeon that she talk to her neighbors and solicit their views
on a rezoning of the area. In the meantime, Commissioners would
inspect the location.
5. BURLINGAME MOTEL - ELECTRIC SIGN
Planning Consultant Mann reported to the Commission that after con-
ferring with the City Attorney there did not appear to be any method
by which the City could legally grant the request of Mr. Wally Just,
owner of the Burlingame Motel, to install an electric advertising
sign on his property.
