INTER -OFFICE MEMO
TO: Rich Quadri
Park Department
FROM: Pete Kriner
Building Division
RE: 440 Bloomfield
July 29, 1985
Inspection this date with Rich Quadri at the above address reveals
the roof in question is a corrigated fiberglass roof. Installed
over what appears to have been a patio cover, which over the years
has been developed into an occupied room.
The roof is flat with 3 others portions of the house roof transporting
rain water to this roof. In addition a portion of this roof butts
into a rough brick fireplace. This creates a design which with a
hot mop built up roof would be hard to prevent leaks. The framing
for the roof is 4" x 4" even size lumber which is not designed for
horizontal framing.
A Building Permit #N-927 was issued for an addition in March 1964.
The permit states a family room and new bathroom. I feel this permit
could not have covered this portion of the house. The code would
not have allowed this roof framing and type of roof as the structure
would not support the weight of a fireman and fiberglass roofing has
only been permitted on patio covers and detached structures.

Dear Art:
Just a short note to follow up and say thank you for meeting with me today to discuss
PGandE's tree trimming in the city of Burlingame.
To recapitulate, I understand the City may take a long term approach with respect
to tree replacement within the city and there is interest as to whether PGandE
�.. would participate monetarily if PGandE's direct tree trimming costs were reduced
by the installation of shorter trees.
Please note, we're certainly interested and I would like a formal request, with
any specifics if available, addressed to my office for further review.
Please don't hesitate to call me if you or any members of your board
questions or concerns regarding tree trimming or any other facet of
My office telephone number is 592-9200, ext. 451.
Thank you again for your time and interest with this mutual concern.
Sincerely,
David Altscher
Area Manager

TO: D. ARGYRES - CITY MANAGER
FROM: R. QUADRI - DIRECTOR OF PARKS
RE: BEAUTIFICATION COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION ON P.G.&E.
LINE CLEARANCE
As requested by Council the Beautification Commission has con-
sidered the matter of tree pruning for line clearance and its
effect on our community. The Commission's study over the last
3 months considered the overall impact on our tree program,
with a special emphasis on Sycamores. The various options I
had submitted to Council were used as a starting point, but
several other options were discussed.
Chairman Carbon and I met with David Altscher of P.G.&E. to ex-
plore several alternative solutions. Undergrounding of all
utility lines would cost approximately $125 per foot in resi-
dential areas, and would require new service connections at
each house. With the time and money involved, this was felt
to be an impractical solution. We then discussed the possi-
bility of a long term replacement program for trees which inter-
fere with primary utility lines. Both the Commission and P.G.&E.
have expressed an interest in this approach, and, if Council de-
sires, I will explore this further.
The Commission's final recommendation to Council is that the
Park Department continue its current method of sycamore pruning
on a 4 year cycle; that P.G.&E. continue its current practice
with close monitoring by the Park Department; and that the City
explore a long range replacement program with P.G.&E for those
trees which interfere with primary power lines. The motion
was passed unanimously.
