KEYSTON, ANZA SHAREHOLDERS I LTQUIDATING TRUST, CITY PLANNER: URGENCY INTERIM ORDINANCE NO. 1107 REOUIRING SPECIAL PERMITS FOR PROJECTS NORTH AND EAST OF BAYSHORE F RXEI^IAY AND WITEIN THE ROLLINS ROAD INDUSTRIAL AREA. For audience information Mayor Harrison read Chairman Taylorr s l-etter of August Ll , L977 in fu1I, the gist of which was that the Planning Conunission study of this area is proceeding on schedul-e but cannot be completed by September 5, 1977 when the urgency interim ordinance expires. Planning Commiss.ion recom- mends extending and possibly modifying the urgency ordinance. Letter of August 8, 1977 from David H. Keyston urged that this ordinance not be extended or reinstated. In return, Mr. Keyston would agree to bring in preliminary plans for all projects proposed on Anza property for Council revj-ew. Mr. Keyston stated this ordinance has stifled deve fopment and interest in the Burlingame Bayfront, and has required costly EIRs forprojects complying with Burlj-ngame ordinances. He suggested the City would be well protected by his commitrent since Anza Trust owns over 908 of developable fand in this area. 429 Councilman Martin on this ordinance 1977 meeting. suggested that since four votes the matter be considered at the are required September 6, Mayor Harrison corurented he agreed with some points of Mr. Keyston's letter. Mr. Keyston addressed Council, stating he was leaving certain preliminary plans for this area with the City Planner for review. He pointed out that part of the affected. area is M-I and part is C-4. In M-L, the traffic generators are office buildings which must come before the Ptanning Commission, so the City does have control. In the C-4 area, with the King building presently before the City, Anza owns 99.58 of the remaining C-4 land. The only piece they do not own j-s L/2 acte between California Trucking and Mobil Oif. By bringing all of their projects before the City, Anza Trust will make certain the City has control- of developments. Councilman Martin emphasized his strong desire to protect the City and noted the difference in dealing wj-th Anza Liquidating Trust rather than Anza Pacific. Mr. Keyston assured him that relationships \,rould be on the same leveI and offered his commitment that the City would have total control.

Memo from Assi.stant City Enqineer of July 28, L977 informed Council that City Engineer did not recommend approval of thispermit for a fence which is 2' into the street right of way forthe purpose of maintai-ninq ground cover. No indications ofhardship were found. Memo noted fence is already constructed.City Manager concurred in the disapproval.

C. 3l2l Margarita By memo of August lO, 1977 Director of Public Works reportedthis encroachment permit is requested to build a fence six feethigh to within 5' from face of curb on Los Montes. Fence woul-d encroach 6.4' into the right-of-way. Permit is requested toprovide a large yard for a dog, although there is presently a20' x 35 ' yard possible without encroachment. Constructionof fence to property line provides for an approach speed of 25 miles per hour on Margarita and 20 miles per hour on Los Montes.If fence were constructed as requested, sight distance on Los Montes would be only 15 miles per hour. For this reason, Director of Pub1ic works recommended this request be denied. City Manager concurred j.n endorsement of Auqust L0, 1977. Mrs. Gi]bert Metzler addressed Council, stating that fence i,rasto be 5' rather than 6r. She pointed out that if a lega1 fence were extended to the front of the lot on this cornerproperty it wou]d impede sight distances even more. She notedreference in memo to setting a precedent, and reported thereare fences in this area now that are right on the curb line. In response to questj-on from Councilman Mangini, she stated she was prepared to take pictures of the whole area for evidence, adding her back yard is very narrow - l-2' wide and 65' Ionq. Mayor Harrison conmented he appreciated her feelings aboutexisting fences, but he was not inclined to add to this sj-tuation. At request of Councilman Martin, D.irector of Public Works diagrammed Memo of August 10, 1977 from Director of Public Works recommended approval of encroachment permj-t for commerci-a1 building at this address under construction. Encroachment necessitated by design of building is for protection of pedestrian safety andinstalfation of retaining walls. City Manager, by endorsementof August L0, 1977 concurred in this recornmendation . In response to questions from Counci l-man Martin, Director of Pub11c Works stated this is a board fence, and it must ej-therbe taken down or moved back two feet. 431 the effect of legal fence on sight distances, which would be about the same as the encroachment since the house is 15' above the street. He added there are many other impediments to sight dj-stances in the area, such as trees and shrubs on other properties. There is no sidewalk on Los Montes. Councj-lman Martin suggested that since the grade on Los Montes is so steep, cars are not going to approach the corner at great speedsr so reduction in sight distances will have less impact. A1so, a legal fence to the front property line would impede sight distances even more. He recommended that Director of Public LrTorks work with the Metzlers for modification of their requested fence and the encroachment permit be allowed. Councilman Mangini agreed in view of the fact that the legal fence would be less safe than the encroachment requested. Director of Public Works explained he had not wished to recommend this encroachment because of the position the Council would be in if there were an accident. However, if some compromise could be reached with the Metzlers, he would proceed with the issuance of the encroachment permit. 5.

City Attorney reported to Council that in the past a number ofprivate have operated in Burlingame with few problems, but inthe fast ti"ro years there have been incidents which make itadvisable for the city to license these patrol-s.

UNFINISHED BUS INESS Councilman Martin referenced letter of August 9, 1977 which he received from Dr. Fred S. Dias, 2516 Valdivia Way, Burlingame.Dr. Dias objected to the fact that San Francisco Airport isplanning to extend Runway #1 by building a back blast wal1 at the end of the runway. Then more heavily loaded planes would be able to take off on Runway #1, instead of Rum^ray +28 as atpresent. This would result in increased noise 1eve1s whichthe blast wal1 would not mj.tigate. Councilman Martin noted recent newspaper publj-cj-ty about thisconstruction, and stated that the runway coul-d be extended 600r by this method, but would then be near the freeway. The newspaper article inferred the fence would protect the freeway from blast and might reduce noise to the surrounding cities. To his mind, moving the runway 600' nearer the cities wouldincrease the noise and might increase the noise contours ofthe airport itself to above 65 cneI. He made the point thatif there is not an EIR filed for this new blast screen whichdefi.nitely shows what mitigation measures have been taken in regard to noise, he would recommend that the City Council hirea 1egal consultant to fil-e suit against the Aj-rport. He suggested the Airport had an alternative and better solution -that of getting a permit from BCDC to extend the runway bayward. Councilman Martin considered the attitude of the Airportrs top management arrogant and non-cooperative with surrounding cities. He noted the purpose and the effort of ALUC as the protection of the ]-and in this area. However, the airport seems to do asit pleases and the situation has become very bad. Something must be done, and he was making this statement to get thefacts before the public and gain some support. He commented on Flying Tiger and Japan Airlines flights and noisy takeofffrom San Francisco airport in early morning hours so they can escape the curfew in Tokyo. He suggested this situation couldbe stopped by customers' boycottinq these t\"/o airlines. Councilman Mangini questioned if he was asking for Councilsupport to back him in requiring an EIR. Councifman Martin replied that was not his request at present,but he would ask for Council- support at the time when ALUC had made its statement about this situation. Council memlcers present assured him of support at that time. FOX MAI.L City Council received letter of August L5, l-977 from Joseph Karpappealing the decision reached by the Planning Commission relativeto the Burlingame Avenue Special District Parking Requirementswith respect to the Fox ltlal1. Mayor Harrison announced this appeal would be heard at themeeting of September 6, 1977.
