Councilman Johnson moved that a dance permit be granted to the Ber-
Rich, Incorporated, in accordance with its request suhtritted to council
under date of Novedber 25, 1959. Ttre motion was seconded by coun ci lman
Georgie and unanimously carried .
Uayor Martin announced that this was the time and place scheduled to
conduct a hearing on a regueEt received from Ur. Eric G. llausser,
1536 Meads, Lane, dated Noverdber 26, !969, appealing the decision ofthe Planning Cqnnission in denying his application for a rear yard
and parking variance to allor., construction of an addition to hisproperty.
A eonununicati on from the City Planner, dated Decedber 1I, 1969, advisedthat ttre motion to approve the varianee received three tayen votes
and two "no" votes, an insufficient majority vote: the subject
residence is located at 1536 Meadow lane on a 50'by 1O0r lotr theproposal is to construct an addition that will extend the building towithin seven feet of the rear property line, with the code reguiringa minimum rear yard set back of fifteen feetr there is no demonstrablehardship in the property itself except that the existing building issited at a greater distance from the front property line than the usualfifteen feet, reaulting in ample open space in at area not feasiblefor inereasing the interLor floor space of the dwelling.
llhe Chair invited Mr. MauEser to comment -
Mr. Mausser stated that the vote on the variance was not a conelusivedenial in his opinion and that his appeal therefore was before Council.
the City Planner, in a brief verbal report, stated that it is a singlefamily dwelling and the propoEal to add a room and a bath at the rearof the existing building would extend beyond the ninimum rear yard
code requirements i that it is a "personal" hardship to the applicant.
Councilrnan George questioned Ur. l{ausser whether the propoaed additioncould be constructed aa an upatairs unit, who, in reply, stated thatit is possible; hor,vever, the structure of ttre house itself would notreadily accornsnodate a second story its proxirnity to neighboring holes
\.rould be obj ectionable and the increased cost rrould create a hardship.
fhe City Planner, in reply to Mayor Martints inquiries concerning garage
requirements, advised that public hearings will be conrnenced at thenext regular meeting of the Planning Conrnission to consider amendmentsto the ordinance to accommodate those having single ear garages, thatthe change thtt has been proposed will provide that when there issufficient space in the driveway area, the requirement for a seeond
garage will not be necessary and that in this instance, the Planning
Commission indicated that tandem parking would be permitted inside thefront setback line.
Councilman ,lmstrup suggested that by reducing the size of the propoaed
roon, the rear set back requirements may be fulfilled.
Ir1r. lilausser replied that it would not. be equitable and that in additionto the extra roor, the building plans eall for the construction of a
second bathroom.
Councilman George expressed concern that if construction were permitted
aE currently proposed, it may establlsh a precedent in the neighborhood.
ltayor Martin, speaking to the City Planner, stated that the minutes ofthe Planning Coftrission do not record tbat diseuraioBs oecurred
concerning the retention of the fifteen foot rear aetback and
suggested that more information be obtained from the ComniEsion by re-
scheduling a hearing on the variance before the Planning commission.
2.APPEAI FROM ERIC G. MAUS$R RE:
VARIANCE TO E:XTEND HIS BUILDING
Follovring a brief discussion, wherein l{r. !{ausser indicated no objec-tion to re-appearing before the Planning Conunission, the subjeetmatter was referred to the Planning Cdnmission for the scheduling ofa new public hearing.

USE PERMTT TO CONSTRUCT RE STAURANT
Hayor Uartin announced that a public hearing had been scheduled at thereguest of ltlr. 9rarren L. Simtons, President, Tia ltaria, in which theeonditions attached by the Planning Conunission to a use permit
granted to consturct a Tia Maria Restaurant on the Old Bayshore High-
way, rrere aPpealed.
IrIr. cYrus J. l{cui1lan, Attorney, represented the applicants.
litr. Ucr,!"iL lan confirmed that the eonditions relating to B. c. D, C. that
were attahced to the use permit were the point at issue.
Ur. Ucltillan reported on his recent visit to San Francisco to meetwith staff menibers of B. C. D. C. and wherein vague replies were
received to his inquiries relative to the extent of B. c. D. c.'Einterest and the application of its regulations to the proposed conEtruc-tion and that he was unable to obtain a waiver of jurisdiction.
Referring to sections of Chapter 713 of the Government code, Mr.
I*tcMi llan subroitted that the proposed restaurant use is not ansubEtantial change in land use" and is therefor not subject to
B. c. D. C. jurisdiction.
Ir1r. Mcuillan stated that the staff members of B. c. D. c. were impressedwith the type of facility proposed; the construction does not involve
bay fi11in9; a building permit should be issued and a notification ofthe eonstruction should be fontarded to the Bay Conservation and Develop-
ment Cormission, whereupon if there are any objections, that agency
can take an initiative action.
Mayor llartin referred to the city Planner, who submitted a map for
Council revierr and explained that the plan itself has been revised by
increasing the building set back five feet, creating a slight changein the parking space arrangements i the Planning Corunission found no
problem \ri th respect to the building Plans but the issue of ho,r the
construction may affect the regulations of B. c. D. C. was a matterof concern.
!ilr. Ueuillan, on the question of parking, advised that Parking sPaces
are considerably in excesE of thoEe required by the code.
uayor lt{artin observed that there is no reference in the motion of the
Planning Cqflrission to provide an access to the twenty-foot strip along
the bayfront.
Ur. David Keyaton, Anza Pacific Corp., developer, advised that his office
had prepared for recording, easement documents to include a tvtenty-fivefoot Etrip along the bayfront and public acceases of twelve and one-H.ffeet alongside the subject property and between properties to the east,the latter to becdne effective at such time as a current lease may
expire.
Mayor Martin suggested to the City Planner that the Planning Comnission,in the future, include in its motion, a condition that a tlventy-fivefoot strip be provided along bayfront properties.
fhe City Attorney, in reply to inquiries from the Chair, referred torecent legislation and the Bay Conservation and Develoltnent Cdmnission's
concurrent jurisdiction affecting a one-hundred foot band of shorelineproperty and in explaining his guidelines upon which the Planning
Csrunission took an actj.on, stated tfiat they were set forth for thepurpoge of cooperating with B. c. D.C.
t89
re0
I\tayor li{artin referred to a corununication received from B. C. D. C. on
an earlier date, and his interpretation that that agency was asking
merely to be notified when construction along the bay sj.de is to
oecur.
Purther discussion ineluded corllents that legislation affecting B. c.
D. c. is unclear and references to cqnmunications and telephone callsto officials of B. c. D. c. requesting the submisEion of a moredefinitive set of regulations.
Mr. Mclt{illan, reiterating his previous statement that members of thestaff of B. C. D. C. looked with favor upon the construction of the
Eia uaria Restaurant, suggested that the applicants, should eircum-
stancea arise, be permitted to take issue with B. C. D. C.
A conununication was entered into the record from the BurlingameCitizens Action Forum, dated December 8, 1969, conunend ing the action
taken by the Burlingame Planning Coruni ssion in setting forth conditionsto the granting of the use permit and that the appeal before Council
be denied.
Uayor Martin stated that his major concern \.ras that in the future andin similar instances, a condition be included in a motion that atwenty-five foot Etrip be provided along the bay, landscaped and
opened for public access.
Follqring further discussion, the Chair requested an action frora Cbunci 1.
A motion was introduced by Councilman Crosby that the special permit ofTia uaria be approved and that the action of the PLanning Couaission beoverruled by deleting those conditions relating to B. C. D. c. approvalEet forth in the motion of the Planning C@nissionr that approvalthereof shall require that a twenty-five foot strj.p of land beprovided along the bay front, landscaped and opened for public use;that a twelve and one-half foot public access be provided on theproperty from the street to the landscaped bayfront acceas and thatthe Bay Conservation and Development Cornmi ssion be so notified. themotion was seconded by Councilman ceorge and unanirnously carri.ed.
