1971 on the proposal of L€on M. vlheatley and &ichard B. Oliver to develoPa 510 unit apartment cotrplex on a parcel of acreage oumed by
Burlingame Shore Iand company.
Staff, responding to inquiries frotn Mayor .rosby, rePorted as follovs:
Tlhe city Planner confirmed that the projeet involves certain zoning
variances, scquiring a public hearing before the Planning Cotmission,
and ;
lhe c'i ty Attorney stat.d that he has not diecussed the matter of the
existing contract between the city and the preaent land o,rner with the
proponents in the subject appl ication since the meeting of rlarch 1.
lrhe City Attorney stated that the contract is a proper subject of dis-
cussion on this occasion, as well as other el.etnentE of the derd.oprnentthat Council may wlsh to explore; horever, resolution of amendmenta tothe contract should be delayed until the Planning Commission ha= taken
an action on the zoning variances.

prefer a decision on th.rt issue first, reserving Preparation of the
nek, contract to attorneys for the Parties concerned.
!tr. Oliver displayed copie8 of a Plot plan, elevation and layout, and a
colored rendering "velvet Tnrt1e Restaurantr " improvement being con-
sidered for the 40.00O square foot"reserve" parcel at the northeasterly
corner of the property. Mr. Oliver stated that neither he nor his
associate is commi tted to the restaurant and may, for economic reaaons,
decide on an office building as a substitute imProvement. He advised
that either use will reguire nore parking spaces than can be accomodated
on the site, entailing redesign of the tennis courts for an underground
parking area.
Mr. Oliver stated that, for the moment, improvement of the 'regerve"parcel is an unknorrr factor in the total Project, that the aPartment
cmplex is of prinary interest and, hopefully, can be resolved on its
nerits, independently of the ultimate use of the "reserve' parcel,
which may not be decided for another 30 days.
During a period of council discuesion, Mr. oliver was alerted to
exigting traffic problerns in the area of the subject ProPerty, created
by the comPlex circulatsion system and resultant congestion. council
suggeated that of the trro ProPosals for the "reserve" Parcel, the
reilaurant would appear to be the more desirable from a traffic stand-
point. considering that an office building may generate additional car
movements during Peak comnute hours.
Councilman tilartin stated that an office building, if that is the final
decision, should be situated in an area a\.ray from the service road.
Mr. Oliver, in response to Councilman Anstrup, Etated that rentals and
recreation facilities have been Patterned, to a degree, after lloodlake
conplex with the ldea of attracting the same type of tenant. He
stated that the location is ideal for connutere and for retirees who
prefer to use public transPortation and that a decision has not been
made as yet whether to make units available to families with g ror'rring
chi Idren.
Irlr. Oliver recited nonthty rentals ranging fron 9180.0O to $300.00,
depending upon unit size.
trtr. Oliver reported that the existing masonry bullding on the property,
to the rear of the service station site, will be preserved and refurbished
for Etorage and naintenance purPoses and possibly management offices
for the proj ect.
Mr. oliver stated that the apartment complex has been put to biil in
order to assure financing and that NltC (Romex) is included as an alternative
in the electric wiring system.
Counci lnran !{artin referred to the sj.te plan, comnenting that there
appear to be areas of potential problerns reguiring further study and more
detailed drar.rings. He suggested, as a method of e:q>editing procedures,
that council consider approval in principle of apartment use of the
land, in accordance rri th plot Plans on flle, with the understanding that
improvernent of the "reserve' parcel and all other conditions requiring
further study lrill be mutually resolved before Couneil takes a final
action.
A polI of council revealed no objection to the suggested procedure.
Mayor CroEby declared the hearing continued to the meeting of
