APPEAL RE: RESIIBDIVISION LCrr 53 BIOCK 36
uayor Diederichsen announced that this llras the time and place sdteduled
by Council to conduct a public hearing on an appeal from the decision of
the Planning corunission in denying a resubdivision of Lot 53, Block 36,
ltills Estate No. 13, to the owner of the property, Ur. Venice Howell,
the applicant.
llhe City Planner, at the request of the Chair, outlined the resubdivision
proposal to create three lots from one large lot and denied by the
Planning Commission at a recent public hearing by a five to two vote.
Ihe City Planner advised that the property contains 31,322 square feet
with a frontage of 195 feet on Loyola Drive. The resubdivision will
result in three lots containing 11,655, 10,885 and 8,782 square feet
respectivelyr each has a frontage of si.xty-five feet; since the minimum
lot size requirements for the district is 7,000 square feet, each lot
meets all the legal requirements of size, frontage and average width of
the code; and all street work and utilities are in place and no easement
or public work is involved.
Continuing, the City Planner advised that consideration of a resubdivision
map by the Conunission is provided in Chapter 26.24 of the code and the
criteria for j udgment of the map are in sec. 26.24.035, reading as follows:
". . . recomendatioEs of the city Engineer, general character of the
neighborhood, fitness of plan to surrounding properties, aceessibility
to safety services, traffic needs." The debate at the Planning Commission
hearing centered on the phrase "fitness of plan to the surroundingproperties." Because of its rocky nature and the steepness of the lots,
the originaL subdivider made no attempt to develop this side of the streett
flat building pads, whictr make up most of the district, could not be
reasonably provided so the west side rras left i.n tvro large parcels.
In concluding his conments, the City Planner referred to adj acent properties.
wherein lot frontages and depths were coasiderably larger, indi.cating that
the applicant's propoaal does not conform to the "fitness of plan to
surrounding properties'r and thus was denied by the Commission.

HEARING
t{ILLs ESTATE #13 (Loyola Drive)
l,laps of the subject property, illustrating the roof and plot plans on
each parcel proposed, hrere presented to Council by the City Planner
and follouing .rn Ernnouncement by the Chair concerning ground rules to
be appl ied in conducting the public hearing, the appellant yras invited
to comment.
Irlr. venice ttorrell, A.I.A. , the applicant, identified himself as orrmer of
the property and stated that he has compl i.ed with all code requirements ithat to clari.fy one point with respect to the sixty-five foot frontages,
each dwelling will be erected to obaerve the fifteen-foot side setbad<s
and that he, personnally, was doubtful that " anyone standing across thestreet from any angle" r'rould note a difference between the sixty-fivefoot frontage and those in the area with a larger dimension; that on the
basis that his proposed resubdivision conforms "with everything exietingin the ttills Estate" his appeal was presented.
tlr. Edward B. King, 347 Castillian Way, San !,tateo. representing theapplicant, advised that he has thoroughly reviewed the resubdivision
plans and in his opinion, the propoaal confor:ms with covering ordinances.
fhere be ing no further comments from those in favor. the Chair iavited
the opponents to speak.
I!tr. Nick Elchinoff, an Attorney with ofJices located at 1720 El Carainoneal, Burlingame, repreaenting several of the opposing property oh,nera,
read and introduced into the record copies of cotnmunications addres sedto Council in protest, from the following: ConBtant and f'heresa Caaaou,
1842 Loyola Drive, dated Hay 15; l,trs. James F. Inch, 1830 Loyola Drive,
dated l.tay 1; r. C. J. Slic]<man, 1816 Uontecito Way, dated Uay 13;l,!r. and l,!rs. v. c. Benedict, 1838 Loyola Drive, dated ![ay 15; ttrs. Frank
Hel holtz, 1826 Loyola Drive, dated I'tay 15; and a comunication bearing
the signatures of lrtr6. Elizabeth Sundberg, 1804 ttontecito Way, Urs. Amy
N. ltuirhead, T. ,r. S. It{uirhead, 1808 Montecito Way, and Ruth E. and C. }t.
ltihan, 1812 Uontecito Way.
Ir{r. Elchinoff referred to a set of photographs to indicate the c}raracterof the ne ighborhood and the steep slopage of the subject lot, and
displayed a map exhibiting the existing lots on Loyol a Drive and an out-lined section representing the proposed resubdivision.
Iqr. Elchinoff stated that at the hearing before the Planning Comnis8ion,
the City Planner quoted from sections of the code pertaining to "Sub-division of less than five lots, " wherein the "general clraracter of the
neighborhood " and the "fitness of plan to surrounding propertiea"
requirements raised a question concerning the proposed lot size6 inrelation to those now established. Ir{r. Elchinoff also referred to the
closing section, permitting Council to render the final decision.
Concluding his statements, I{r. Elchinoff also recalled that some dis-
cussion aroae on a " slippage of soil" condition in the area and urged
Council to uphold the decision of the Planning Commisaion.
Mr. Willian Caplan, President, tJtills Estate Honeormers Association,
spoke on the c-oncern of the property oyrners that "the land be developedto conform to the established pattern" and to preserye its value, tttat
the surrounding land, with very few exceptions, has a minirnum frontage
of e ighty feet.
Ittr. Caplan stated that he was not in agreement with the atatements of
the City Planner ttrat "each lot meets the legal requirements of size.
frontage and average width of the code"; that in addition, there are
"general requirenents " affecting the surrounding property that should
be considered r one, brought out at the Planning cdonri s8ion hearing,
that the land in guestion is filled and there is a slippage probJ'em
throughout areae of the I'tills Estate.
182
188
In conclusion, Ur. Caplan stated that Council should give considerationto a1I the "Iimitations of the land " and summarized points in which he
considered obj ectionable to rrarrant denial of the appeal: (1) narrorrr
frontages; (2) steepness of the grade; and (3) character of the soil .
Comnunications received and recorded in the minutes of the planning
Commission, protesting the proposed resubdivision were acl(norrledged fron
the following: Constant and Irheresa Cassou, 1842 Loyola Drive, datedApril 24; C. J. Slid<nan, 1816 !{ontecito way, dated April 24; Mrs. JamesF. Inch, 1830 Loyola Drive, dated April 24i T. J. S. and Any N. Muirhead,
1808 lr{ontecito }tay, dated April 24 ; and }1r . and li{rs . V. c. Benedict ,
1838 Loyola Drive.
!tr. William lilccann, 2601 Frontera Way, identified his property as adjoining
the subject property and stated that at the time of purchase he understood
the vacant lot to be a single lot and anticipating that a future sub-
division development may occur, a review of the code requirerents gave
him the assurance that any improvement would be in "character with the
neighborhood. " Mr. uccann thereafter expressed his strong objection to
the conversion of the property into a three parcel subdivi.sion.
Irlrs. William Uccann, 260l Prontera Way, expressed concern that the
excavation necessary to construct three dwellings would endanger their
property and stated she was in accord with a statement made at the
Planning Conmiseion hearing that the type dwellings constructed would
be similar to those erected in san Francisco.
t'here being no further conments at this time frqn those in opposition,
a period for rebuttal wae declared by the Chair.
Ur. Ho\^retl stated that in speaking as a professional, atatements in
protest thus far were froro those not qualified; the dwellings will not
be constructed on level pads and all will conform to the fifteen foot
setbad( requirement; with respect to slippage, soil experta have advised
him that the soil has courpacted to a degree satisfactory for construction
and in his opinion, any slippage rrould have been detected during the
past three rainy months.
Iitr. Holrell, replying to council inquiry, advised that the homes will each
occupy an area of 2,800 square feet of living space. excluding the
garage, the sale price will be set at a minimum of $65.0O0.00 eadt
and will not be c.onstructed upon "piers."
Mrs. Ruth [ihan, 1812 ]tontecito Way, spoke on t]re attractiveness of the
homes on Loyol a Drive and that she could not "apPreciate three homes"
built on the subject property I no one can predict the extent of the
slippage until excavating begina and that she is joined by all the
neighbors in opposing the plan.
}{r. Ho$rell, in reply, stated that the "rules are hard and fast" according
to the Building code's hillside constructioa requirements and that he
intended to be so guided.
Mr. King, the Attorney representing ur. Howell, advised that three of his
associates have concurred ttrat the resubdivision exceedg the code require-
mentsi !tr. Horrell has substantial financial and property rights invested
and with the diacretion of Council to deternine whether or not the pro-
poeed resubdivj.sion cornplies with code requirements, the facts are over-
r*helmingly in favor of the applicant.
Further discussion on the rebuttal to points raised in objection concluded
and the Chair referred to Council for conments.
A series of inquiries directed to Ur. Horrrell by Councilman !{artin included
the elevations of the proposed home s in relation to adjoining proPerties.
I.ts4
I.{r. Ho\rell stated that the lot is on a hillside and that he saw no
other way to develop the property practically other than by constructing
on a slope rather than by a leve1 pad nethod; conceding, however, that
the homes may be considered three storied dwellings.
Councilnan lltarti.n, referring to slippage problems, quegtioned ur. Eorrell
on his knowledge of landslides that have occ'urred in thig area and in
other communities.
Hr. Howell replied that in his opinion and in his circumstances, "con-struction would andror the hills."
In reply to Councilman tlartin's question r*rether he trould revise hisplan to construct two rather than three homes, !tr. H@rell advised in
the negative, stating that the property "tould be no better served by
two lots. "
Councilman Uartin directed inquiries to the City Engineer on land
slippage problems that the city has experienced in the past on IJa uesa,llargarita and on Al.turas.
fhe City Engineer, in some detail, explained the loss of portions ofthe street in thie area, created by underground springs and the methods
used to stabiLize the streets and in further reply to Councilman Uartin,
advised that there has been no appreciable amount of seepage since.
A brief discussion on sirnilar underground springs that have been locatedin the Uills Estate concluded with a concuEence that there is no
guarantee that slippages will not occur.
The City Attorney, in reply to Council.man Johnson's inquiries, advisedthat whether the property is to be a resubdivision is the decision of
Council after hearing all the evidence presented.
Following further i-nquiries directed to and answered by the City Attorney,
Councilman Johnson stated that the main objection stresses the point
that the proposed development would be contrary to the "general ctraracterof the neighborhood " and questioned the interpretation in this instance,of the word " neighborhood. "
The City Planner advised that it could be stated it referred to "bothsides of the streetr it uray be within one-half mile of the subj ectproperty, MillE Estate No. 13 or the entire Mills Estate."
On the subject of slippage, Councilman Johnson questioned why trro rather
than three lots would reduce the hazard.
Ur. Caplan'a statement that there would be "less risk" was contradicted
by Mr. tlorrell, who explained tlre stalrilizing factors that would be
placed in effect.
Councilman alohnson stated that in reviewing the evidence, and if Councilis to malce a decision, the testirnony thus far indicates the proposed
resubdivision to legally conform with code requirements and requested an
opinion from the city Engineer.
fihe City Engineer Btated that the lot is an unusual one; it is onfilled ground, with a slope of t\ro to one ratio; any structures builtwill neceseitate careful construction to avoid interference wittr the
extensive drainage facilities existing on the lot, three dwellings
could be housed on the property if properly engrineered; horrever, it
will be a dif,ficult and expensive construction.
Councilman Crosby questioned the city Planner on the varying degrees in
the outline of the lots on Loyola Drive, who advised that the lots were
developed to accommodate the curve of the street.
1E5
To further inquiries frqo Councilman Crosby, the City Planner advisedthat there is "no sudr thing as a rectangular block in the Uills Estate"
and if only tlro dwellings were constructed, both would still have to be
placed "up and on the side of the hiU."
Hr. Caplan stated that the general feelings of the ltills Estate home-
o\dne rs is that on steep hillside property, lots should be wide enoughto allow a greater "spread" in the construction of homes.
Ur. Horrell stated that one inportant fact is that the drawings preaented
indicate "flat elevation plan" and the "angle of vision is an important
factor. "
A series of inquiries r^rere directed to the City Engineer and to the City
Planner by the Chair.
lItr e City Engineer explained that his Office has insisted that "cut"
slopes be made on a one and one-half to one ratio and on filLed slopes
on a two to one ratio; ttrat he has examined the subject property and
it conforms to the two to one ratio.
lrhe city Planner advised that the lot limitation in the Mills Eatate is
7,00O square feet; a pad, eighty by one hundred feet, r+ould provide a
good location for a house, setbacks and a yard; lots lyirg along the
ridge of a hill are usually one hundred feet in depth and there are
lots in the Mi1ls Estate that are over the one hundred foot depth r the
lots on the opposite side of Loyola Drive provide a one hundred foot
depth with others bels, Loyo1a Drive possibly greater.
Further inquiries from the Chair included an inquiry to u!. EoreII as
to whether the design of tlre homes could be altered to lower the buildings.
Mr. Hovell advised "not without cutting drastically into the slope" and
that it was his intention to build "on the hill" and not "into the hill ."
An inguiry from li{r. Caplan to }lr. Ho\^reII through the Chair, questioned
whether it would be possible to build the hqnes rrithout going to a
three-storied height.
l.{r. Howell stated that the roofline could be lowered but to a degree that
would create very litt1e difference in the height of the dwelling.
Councilman ilartin pointed out that the ltilIs Estate was developed based
upon tentative and final maps; the concern at that time was the lot size
and for that reason the 7,0OO square footage was established.
Requesting further comments, the Chair referred to the City Attorney.
T'he city Attorney, replying to a prior inquiry frqn Councilman ilohnson
concerning an interpretation of the word "neighborhood" stated that
"neighborhood " is whatever Council might find it to be; that in this case
Council c.ould consider all the R-l zoned property in the l.tills Estate or
Uills Estate No. 13 Subdivision.
Councilman Martin moved that the ru
upheld. Itre motion failed for the
