HEARING
1. APPEAL OF ROBERT AND SYLVIA PISANI FROM PLANNING COMMISSION
DENIAL OF OFF-STREET PARKING VARIANCE FOR APART}4ENT BUILDING,
5OO PENINSULA AVENUE
Council had received letter of appeal from Mr. and Mrs. Pisani
dated October 25, L977 setting forth reasons for variance, and
detailing plans for a new variance, different from the one
presented to the Planning Commission. City Plannerrs memo
of November 2, L977 reviewed Planning Commission action; and
the present significantly different proposal. I\4emo attached
Planning Commission meeting minutes of September 28, L977 ,
documentation on the original variance application, and letters
supporting denial of variance: October L2, 1977 from Mrs. Ross
Smith, 15 Dwight Road; October 25, L977 from Mr. and Mrs.
Phil Knight, 23 Drvight Road.
Mayor Harrison acknowledged this documentation, but noted that
the Council had before i-t a change of p1an. He noted that
Planning Commission denied on the grounds that application failed
to satisfy code requirements requisite to variance grants.
City Attorney confirmed that variance was denied as not meeting
the Iega1 requirements for the supporting ordinance. Mayor
Harrison then questioned if this change in application still
did not address itself to the conditions for a varj-ance. City
Attorney replied that would be a Council decision, but this is
a new proposal.
City Planner detailed the new proposal, noting it is somewhat
changed but still is a variance request, and the Planning
Commission had denied the original proposal unanimously because
they could not make a determination that conditions were met.
Councilman Martin remarked the new proposal seems like a
major change and questioned if it would be advisable to refer
it back to the Planning Commission for a hearing.
Councilman Nlangj-ni thought this should be done.
Councilman Crosby moved that the new proposal for variance be
referred back to the Planning Commission for a hearing. Second
by Councilman Mangini, unanimously carried.

Mayor Harrison acknowledged report of October 26, 1977 fromPolice Chief which attached Sergeantrs detailed list ofincidents occurring at this establishment. Police Chief
recommended permit be issued for only 90 days, pending furtherreport, Mayor Harrison read list of incidents.
Mr. ,f ame s M. Shea, 532 Alhambra, San Mateo, owner of Goldierssaloon, addressed Council. Mr. Shea stated he had received
copy of this communication from the Police Department Saturday,
November 5, 1977 by mai1. He had gone to the Police Department
Monday, November 7, at 9:30 A.M. and had asked for copy of
Pol-ice report on the various items. He had been j-nformed hecould not have this information because he was not one of thesuspects, nor was he j-nvolved in it.
Mr. Shea addressed this list of incidents in detail as follows:
February 22, 1977 - Petty Theft. Neither he nor his son, whohelps in running this business, knew anything of this. He
asked for copy of report so that the person involved could beprevented from entering his bar again.

incident and thethe establishment
July 20, 1977 - Possession of narcotics. Mr. Shea said he had
known nothing of this, which had j-nvolved an arrest by agents ofthe Alcoholic Beverage Control. He had gone to the Police
Department the next ilay because it had involved an employee ofhis. l{e found that the person had been released, and he hadheard nothing further from the ABC. However, he had fired theperson j-nvo1ved, whether he was right or wrong, because he did notwant this type of thing in his establishment. For this reason,he took exception to the statement in the Police report that heapparently did not exercj-se the same control as the former
owners.

September 29, L977 - Suspect arrested for possession of concealedi,reapon. Mr. Shea said this involved a former employee of the bar,and he had no reason to suspect that he was carrying a weapon. He
was glad when the arrest was made.
Shea stated hePoIice report.
Council received letter of October 2l , )-977 from Chief of Po1ice,
Burlingame Police Department advising that the department hadnot experienced any pol-ice problems with this establishment
and would approve the continuance of the entertainment permit
under present management .
492
September 29, 1977 - Department of Alcoholic Beverage Contro]
notification of the filing of charges by that agency against
the establishment. Mr. shea reported that his attorney had filed
a letter dated September 30, L977 to ABC. To date he had heard
nothing of the matter.
In surunation Mr. Shea stated that any police officers \4,ho kne$/
him would say he was conducting a better business than in thepast - when he has a problem he takes care of it. He stated he
wished to go on record as saying that fimiting him to a 90 day
permit was unwarrantedi however, he did think it would be
difficult for the Council to vote against staff recorunendation .
Mayor Harrison remarked on the fact that Mr. Shea had owned
the establishment for \1< years, and there had been six ineidents
in the last nine months. l4r. Shea responded that when he had
taken over this establishment he had told the Pol-ice Department
he was going to make some changes and he wanted their backing.
Councilman Mangj-ni agreed with Mr. Shea's statement that Council
would be supportive of staff. However, he thought that Mr.
Shea had spoken honestly, and questioned why the 90 day permit
would hurt hirh. Mr. Shea replied that if the Council decided
on 90 days, it would be fine with him, but he did not think j-t
right.
Upon question from Councilman Crosby, PoIice Chief stated that
it is against State and Federa] laws to release police reports
except to an j-nterested party - a suspect. Councilman Crosby
commented that Mr. Shea therefore, does not know what he j-s
accused of. Police Chief replied he is not being accused
of anything. The Police Department is simply stating what
happened at the establishment.
Councilman Martin was surprised that this man was being told
his permit might be denied, and yet could not find out what was
happening. City Attorney confirmed Police Chief's statement
that Mr. Shea is denied by 1aw from getting details.
Councilman Crosby asked if this was considered a hearing this
evening. City Attorney saj-d it was, but added that it would
take a court hearing for Mr. Shea to get copies of police reports.
Councj-Iman Crosby comnented that if he was j-n business l-ike
Mr. Shea and had these accusations, he would Iike to know
exactly what they were. Polj-ce Chief remarketl he could appreciate
this.
Councilman Mangini moved this permit be approved for
of 90 days, second by Councilman Crosby, unanimously

NEW BUS INESS
AIRPORT EIR
Councilman Mangini questioned specifics of Council action on
october 17, t977 regarding Airport EIR. He noted that Council
had approved $I,000 tohrard retention of Counsel to represent
gurlingame, Milfbrae and San Bruno in this matter. Councilman
Martin replied the Point of the action was so that these three
cities could be represented by expert counsef while the City
Attorney was out of town for a short period of time. If a
negatj-ve declaration were filed on the Airport blast fence, it
must be appealed within ten days. The three cj-ties want an
EIR filed. No\,/ that the City Attorney has returned, he can
proceed with developing cost figure for an environmental attorney
to represent these cj-ties in such hearings. City attorney stated
he would have some information for Council by the next meeting.
Councilman Martin requested that recent material prepared by
the City of Millbrae Planner updating information on the Airport
situati-on be ci-rculated to all Council members.
Mayor Harrison questioned if ALUC had considered contacting
naa regarding proposed landing and takeoff procedures, suggestingf
there might be pressure that could be brought to bear.
Councilman Martin stated that f'AA had control only within
certain broad outl-ines, that in actuality it hail very Ij-ttle
cont ro 1 .
Councilman Mangini questioned why there would be objections to
the fence if it is going to be raised with the intention of
eliminating some of the noise and averting danger to people on
the highway.
Councifman Martin stated that with the raising of the blast
fence, aircraft could take off immedj-ate1y against the freeway.
Heavier and more aircraft could use Run\"/ay 1, with resultant
increase in noise.
Councilman Mangini cornrnented he could not see
to noise as an issue.
sa fe ty opposed
Councj- lman Crosby was of the same opj-nion, quoting from
Director of Airportsr letter of october 18, ]-977, "Any delay
in installing the blast fence may constitute a safety hazard to
automobiles on the Bayshore Ereeway. "

the Summit crossing in front of Hoover School.
Mr. Lawrence Hickey, 1321 Montaro, addressed Councif as a parent
who had children in Hoover School. He cited numerous instances
of bad traffic conditions and urged Council's consideration of
Mrs. Peter's request for crossing guard.
Mayor Harrj-son reported he had met with the principal of Hoover
School, Mrs. Peter, Chief Palmer anal Traffic Safety Sergeant.
Whife Hoover School does not meet the warrants for a crossing
guard, Mayor Harrison had a suggestion which he thought would not
set a precident since the School Board is currently considering
the future of some schools, and Hoover has 165 students. He
had information from the Police Chief that a vacancy exists for
a police officer, it is unfilIed, and there is money available.
Minimum hours for a crossing guard are 4 per day. Mrs. Peter
could suggest a person in the neighborhood who coul-d work
8:00 - 10:00 A.M. and be trained by the City. He suggested
authoriz j-ng $l-,000 for a crossing gruard for two hours a day from
now to the end of the school year.
Councilman Crosby moved that $1 ,000 be authorized for a crossing
guard at Hoover School, 2 hours a day, from now to the end of
