The special pernits are for two accessory structures each exceeding 100 square feet (workshop 436 square feet, lanai 179 square feet), toilet and shower in an accessory structure, using an accessory structure for a homeoccupation (artist workshop) and having a Lanaj. over 50 squarefeet (J-79 square feet proposed). The applicant submitted revisedplans showing the new carport attached to the house thus neeti.ngrequired four foot side setback requirernent. old assessorrecords show a L2 by 20 foot detached garage e/ith cenent floor onthis lot; there are no building pernits on file for the additionsto the original detached garage nor for the lanai or spa.Substantial construction would have to be done to the garagestructure to make it conform to present Uniform Building Code requirements for a habitable area. This request is in responseto a code enforcernent action. Several letters were received fromneighbors in opposition and in support of the project, as well as from the applicant. The Planning Comnission voted unanirnously to deny the request. llayor Barton opened the public hearing. Mehrnet Bayramoglu, applicant, reviewed that he purchased the sitein 1987 and did not knoh, the property was i11ega1ly built; he has some difficulty speaking and reading English. He uses the rearunit to store his belongings and for work, he does not livethere; he rents out the house. Neighbors say the former ownerbuilt the illegat unit; tre is witling to upgrade the property tomeet code and also to build a carport to rneet covered parking requirement; he showed photographs of the parking area; he wouldbe willing to have inspections several times a year to assure thecity he is not renting or living in the rear unit. Speaking in opposition was Stephen Hamilton, 725 Acacia (theproperty at the rear of this lot), the garage structure has beenextended two feet into his property; he is selling his property and potential buyers need to know about this encroachrnent; he 256 objected to any approval of this project, it devalues hisproperty and others in the neighborhood. Steve Warden, 700 Acacia, Ij-ves about 300 feet from thisproperty, his concern was to keep the area R-1; the i1Iega1 unit should not be grandfathered; the illegal unit was part of theproperty when purchased by the applicant, the applicant should have some 1egal recourse because in January 1987 the ful1 disclosure 1aw for residential development became effective. Bayramoglu responded that his imrnediate neighbor supports approval of this project,' these people speaking in opposition do not live on his street. He did not approve of the adjacentproperty owner causing council-man Lembi to have a conflict of interest. Mayor Barton closed the public hearing. In response to council- questions, city Planner reviewed the Planning Cornmissionrs recommendations; that the applicant would have to get a retroactive building permit, pay penalties andrebuild part of the lanai if council approved this request.

Councj-Iman Pagliaro did not believe the applicant intendsin the unit; he hates to require destruction of the unit, vrants to keep R-1 area, he tended to support the Planning Cornnission, he would allos/ the lanai to stay if brought up code. to Live but to Councilwoman o'Mahony visited the site, the garage door appearedto be sealed, but there is a Large piano inside which she doubted could have been moved through the other smal-l- door; it has an amazingly modern bathroomr' she agreed with the Planning Commission; this R-1 area is al-ready terribly impacted with traffic and on-street parking is difficultr' property was boughtafter 1987 $/hen ful-l- disclosure was required; she could notbelieve the applicant did not real-j-ze this was an iIIega} conversion. Councilman Harrison empathized with the applicant, but this is a case of rrbuyer beware;rr he supported the Commission. Ile moved to uphold the P1anningT Cornmission denial with the one condition thatapplicant obtain permits for reconversion of the workshop area toa qarage and obtain building pernits for the 1anai, hot tub and other facilities installed without permits, the demolition andpernits sha11 be obtained within 30 days and the work completed within six months. seconded by councilwonan o'Mahony.

The areas most pertinent to our cityare (1) traffic impacts to three intersections on MiLlbrae Avenuewhich feed into Burlingame, EI Camino, California and Rollins;the Bayshore/Millbrae intersection is not addressed adequately inthe report; (2) noise, single event overflight; while airplaneswill becone quieter, there will be more flights and irnpact needsto be documented and nitigations addressed; (3) backbLast noise;this is 1o!, frequency noise which can be felt in vibrations, thisis not mentioned in the DEIR and appropriate mitigations are notincluded; (4) noise variance granted by the State is notaddressed in the DEIR.

Councilman Harrison noted council voted to decline the airportinsulation progran. city Planner said only the area within the 65 dBA CNEL which is a very snall part of our city would beeligible for those funds in any case; overflights and backblastare Burlingamers real noise problem and are not address in the CNEL.
