HEARING RESIDENTIAL USE AT 333 LORTON

Planning Commissionfs denial for special permit to a11ow residential
use at 333 Lorton. Hearing was scheduled for April 15 meeting.
PUBLIC HEARING - SECOND READING ORDINANCE
ROLLINS ROAD MULTIPLE FAMILY SUBZONE
}30O -ESTABLISHING
City Planner reviewed her memorandum of March 25 in which she
recommended councj-1 hold public hearlng and take action. She reviewed
previous council action and Planning Commission action;
recommendations of the Planning Commission to create an overlay R*3
zone; the request of several resi.dents to close the pedestrian walk
between Rollins and Lexington aL the end of Channing trrlay. This
ordinance does not address the closing of the walkway, that would take
separate action.
Councilman Mangini questioned the provision requiring no more than 50
percent of front setback be paved. City Planner replied that a front
entrance walkway and a driveway can cover no more than half the front
setback area, the remainder of the front. yard must be in soft
landscaping.
I"layor Martin opened the public hearing.
Edward Marcinak, 325 Clarendon and owner of a 1ot in that area,
inquired if council could also include his 1ot in the rezoning. He
owns APN 029-185-050 which is a landlocked parcel without street
access. He is j-n the process of trying to buy property on Rollins in
order to gain access to his 1and. If he does so he would like to
develop it in a mul-tip1e dwe11ing. He does not want to buy Rollins
property if his parcel will noL be rezoned. When he bought it it was
zoned R-4, while he was in the servj-ce the zoning was changed to R-1.
City Planner and City Attorney reviewed in response to council
questions that Marcinakrs land is R-1 and there are several other lots
like his; that this property was not included in the noticing of
adjacent property owners for change and inclusi-on in the overlay area
so could not be acted upon tonighE.
Mayor Martln told Marcinak that he could come back to city with
request for rezoning when he acquires access to his parcel; that
Marcinak might buy more property on the contingency that his 1ot would
be rezoned.
Bud Harrison, 376 Lexington, spoke in favor of the ordinance.
Mayor Martin closed the public hearing.
Councilman Amstrup moved adoption of 0RDINANCE 1300 with the condition

PUBLIC HEARING - SECOND READING ORDINANCE 1301
STANDARDS AND REQUIREMENTS FOR-HqME OCCUPAT]ONS
ESTABL ] SH]NG
City Planner reviewed her memo of March 25 in which she recommended
council hold public hearing and take action. She reviewed previous
council and Planning Commission action and study; this ordinance adds
a chapter to the zoning code to replace the present provisions
addressing home occupations in residential districts.
Councilman Pagliaro had a concern about the parking provisions for
home occupations; the provision mentioned in the staff report that
home occupations using an attached or detached garage require a use
permit addresses the providing of parking for the home. He noted that
the ordinance does not appear to address parking need for employees or
people attending a c1ass. He wondered if some provision could be made
in the use permit application to address these requirements for
parking. He was concerned that someone teaching a class with a number
of people in it could rea11y congest a neighborhood.
Councilman Amstrup wondered if people who currently have a home
occupation and use their garage would have to get a use permit. City
Planner replied that there is a grandfather clause in the ordinance to
exempt current licensees.
Mayor Martin opened the public hearing. There being no comments, the
hearing was closed.
Councilman Mangini moved adoption of 0RDINANCE 1301.
Councilwoman Barton, carried unanimously by ro11 call

RESOLUT ION
TASK FORCE
3O-85 _ AUTHORIZING JOINT POWERS AGREEMENT FOR NARCOTICS
City Manager reviewed his memo of March 25 in which he recommended
council approve a joint pohrers agreement to form a county narcotics
task force. 0ur Police Chief proposes to assign a Burlingame officer
to the task force in lieu of our $32,400 annual contribution. He
noLed the county Board of Supervisors approved the agreement last
week.
Councj-lman Pagliaro had some concerns about the i-nsurance clauses in
the agreement. It appeared that an injured officer could claim
workerts compensation through his city and also sue the joint powers
agency. If so, the city would be paying twice. Mayor Martin agreed
this was a concern and should be clarified. Councilman Pagliaro
suggested staff relay this concern to the agency.
Councilman Manglni moved adoption of RESOLUTI0N 30-85. Seconded by
Councilwoman Barton. Mayor Martin requested staff inquire into the
insurance provisi-ons. Motion carried unanimously by ro11 call vote.

REQUEST FOR YEAR-AROUND LIGHTS ON TREES ON
City Manager reviewed his memo of March 25 in which he recommended
council review the Chamberts proposal to have permanent lights on the
trees on Burlingame Avenue. 0riginally the Chamber wanted to install
lights on all the trees as had been proposed for the Christmas season
but city determined if this is done on a permanent basis the wiring
would have to be installed in the trees with underground conduit. The
Chamber could not afford to do this so they are proposing to use just
the trees at each end of the business district where permanent wiring
is available. The Chamber will pay the cost of installation,
malntenance and removal of lights for tree trimming.

Council discussed with Chamber director, Karen
the proposal. Staff will prepare an agreement

for next meeting.

Civil Service Commission. Sharon Co11ett, a police dispatcher,
received a one-day suspension for violating department ru1es. She
appealed the suspension which the Civl1 Service Commission upheld

CONSENT CALENDAR
Councilman Mangini questioned if the item on trrleed and Rubbish
Abatement included city property. Director of Public l,ilorks replied
the city would clear its own property. Councilman Pagliaro wondered
if Southern Pacific property would be posted for weed removal as the
private property was posted. Director of Public Works replied it had
not been posted in previous years but it could be done. Mayor Martin
wondered if highway property could be cleared, state should be
noti-fied about the weeds on Rollins Road. Councilwoman Barton noted
the high school land around tennis courts should be cleared.
