There were no Commission Questions/Comments. Public Comments: There were no public comments. Chair Comaroto closed the public hearing. Commission Discussion: >Likes the change in the stair tower. >Installation at the Sequoia Hospital is clean and well executed. Metal screening has enough weight so it does not billow in the wind. >Will be a complement to the garage. >Stair tower revisions are an improvement.

(Kane: For the particular use.) Chair Comaroto opened the public hearing. Bryan Miranda, Public Storage, represented the applicant. Commission Questions/Comments: >Could the bioretenchion landscaping be in a different location than the front between the two buildings? (Miranda: Least impact on the site. Can look at it in another location if it works.) >Understandable that you have to have a hammer head for the fire department. Wondering if that bio retention could be towards the back, and more ornamental towards front. (Miranda: We can look at that.) >Previously there was parking data from other Public Storage sites. Can there be parking data this time from this location? (Miranda: Yes. Is cognizant of the right number because it needs to serve the customers). Page 2City of Burlingame Printed on 10/29/2019 September 9, 2019Planning Commission Meeting Minutes Public Comments: There were no public comments. Chair Comaroto closed the public hearing. Commission Discussion: >Impact of parking is the only potential impact. >Visiting project site, I saw a hand full of cars midday. I went specifically around lunch time to see that people are visiting and going to storage lockers, and there was less than a hand full of cars in the parking lot. >Regarding the Commercial Design Review, I like the fairly simple structure that complements the rest of the building. It is fairly subdued. >The use already exists in the neighborhood. >Design review is supportable. >Is providing substantially more parking than the sample projects submitted. >Wondering if the applicant had discussed with neighboring property to the north screening. I see there are trees on the landscape plan that looks like they are existing. Maybe a possibility to plant in the rail right-of-way. Chair Comaroto re-opened the public hearing: >Miranda: Wanted to clarify that the project is not adding to the building envelope. The expansion is inside of the building. Met with the neighboring developer once already and will meet with them again now that we have designs to make sure it works for them. Chair Comaroto closed the public hearing. There was no action on this item, as it is a Study Item. 7.

Commission Questions/Comments: >3D renderings are different than elevations. Would look better with the board and batten siding as shown. >How far back would the house need to be to save the tree in the front? (Raduenz: 6 to 8 feet. Would interfere with the driveway and break the neighborhood pattern.) Public Comments: There were no public comments. Chair Comaroto closed the public hearing. Commission Discussion: >Magnolia tree is accompanied by the large fir tree on the adjacent property, and street tree. Would need to move the house far back to clear the drip-line of the magnolia. >Likes the changes. Clapboard siding works well with the board and batten. >Light fixtures need to cut off so light does not spill off the property. Cut-offs need to be appropriate. >Magnolia roots are an obstacle, would be hard to relocate the tree. Commissioner Loftis made a motion, seconded by Commissioner Comaroto, to approve the Action Item.

Public Comments: There were no public comments. Chair Comaroto closed the public hearing. Commission Discussion: >This seems like a simple, straightforward and elegant solution that has nice touches. >The fluted glass is a nice touch and the recess of the bay at 45 degrees creates a more traditional storefront.

Associate Planner Kolokihakaufisi provided an overview of the staff report. Questions of staff: >Requirement for pool equipment location? (Kolokihakaufisi: If it is enclosed it may be at the property line. Needs a Conditional Use Permit.) Vice Chair Kelly opened the public hearing. John Stewart, Stewart Associates, represented the applicant. Commission Questions/Comments: >Why are the plate heights so tall? 10'-1" on the first floor, 9 feet on the second floor. (Stewart: It's what we have now in San Mateo Park. It's roomier.) >Why is there a 10-foot plate height on the garage? (Stewart: To accommodate car lifts. Needs the head room.) Public Comments: Michelle, 146 Elm Avenue - Not sure how far back the house will go, concerned with sunlight. Would like clarification. Wants hedge to be managed during project. Needs clarity on how the fencing will be installed, and at what point on the property it starts. Will there be a setback and then the 6-foot fence, or if that goes all the way up to the street. Also how high is the deck compared to the fence. Otherwise it looks like they've done an interesting job trying to respect the architectural style of the neighborhood. Vice Chair Kelly closed the public hearing. Commission Discussion: >There are a lot of special requests but it is a confluence of all of them. For the most part they are supportable. >The plate heights are not typical, there are single story houses nearby. Typically when the Commission looks at requests for declining height envelope exceptions, we look at the plate heights . These are not typical plate heights. >There are a couple of houses right next door to this one that are single story and pretty small; this is going to dwarf those. >All the requests for CUPs make sense, it is an exceptionally large lot. Lot coverage is more than 1,000 feet less than the maximum. >Concern with the plate height of the garage in relation to the neighbor. Work with neighbor, maybe pull the garage forward to add some landscaping in between. >The horizontal siding with the corner boards works in this situation given that the three houses to the left have horizontal siding so there's a precedent. >Traditional design, but cannot make the leap to the plate heights just to allow the architecture to work . It needs to be revisited. >For the CUPs, needs to evaluate potential impacts on the neighborhood, and any detriment to neighboring properties. The pool structure is minimal, does not look like it would be converted into living space. >Coordinate with the neighbors both to the rear and sides regarding what landscaping is going to remain and be preserved, and whether there will be new fencing. Installation of fencing should be coordinated so adjacent properties remain secured through construction. Page 7City of Burlingame Printed on 10/29/2019 September 9, 2019Planning Commission Meeting Minutes >Good distribution of the square footage across the lot. >Well-designed but not convinced by the ceilings. >Can support all requests except for the declining height envelope. Commissioner Kelly made a motion, seconded by Commissioner Loftis, to bring the item back on the Regular Action Calendar when plans have been revised as directed.

There were no ex-parte communications to report. Community Development Director Gardiner provided an overview of the staff report. Questions of staff: >The new driveway includes removing a tree in the right -of-way. It's not a protected -size tree, but what is the protocol for removing the tree? (Kane: The City Arborist has a protocol. We can flag that so it is reflected in the staff comments.) Chair Comaroto opened the public hearing. Jesse Geurse, Geurse Conceptual Design, represented the applicant. Commission Questions/Comments: >Will the exiting fence remain? (Geurse: Will be replaced with a new fence). Site plan should be corrected. Should coordinate with neighbor for when existing fence is removed to be replaced. >West elevation steps coming out the rear door should match the brick stoop wall in the front with the same cap. >Is the composite siding material assumed to be Hardie siding? (Geurse: Is looking at Hardie shake or Hardie siding. Hardie shake on the house on Vernon turned out well, with mitered corners.) >Front porch railing may need to be higher than indicated. >No detail on the bottom of the left column. (Geurse: It will be brick.) Public Comments: There were no public comments. Chair Comaroto closed the public hearing. Commission Discussion: Page 8City of Burlingame Printed on 10/29/2019 September 9, 2019Planning Commission Meeting Minutes >Well-crafted. >Tucks the second floor spaces under the roof, as the design guidelines encourage. >Design is well done, but would prefer wood siding.

Chair Comaroto opened the public hearing. Robert King for Patrick Burger, represented the applicant. Commission Questions/Comments: >Would like details on the window trim. >Hard to tell what kinds of windows. Looks like there is indication of a muntin pattern, but can't tell if those are large picture windows. Should show the sash. >Blank on sides upstairs, could have windows from the bedrooms. Losing an opportunity to get some windows on a couple of sides and also articulate the elevation a little bit more. >Would like clarity on the construction of the front porch columns. >Plate height on second floor is odd, 8'-9". Seems to invert the relationship from the lower level. Public Comments: There were no public comments. Chair Comaroto closed the public hearing. Commission Discussion: >Given the questions and comments about the scale of the windows and the foam, and a certain lack of clarity about the design, this application would benefit from a design review consultation. >Front door seems to be 16 inches off the porch. >The windows look out of scale - they measure 4 feet x 6 feet. >Would benefit from design consultant. Needs more focus. Commissioner Loftis made a motion, seconded by Commissioner Terrones, to refer the application to a design review consultant.

Commission Questions/Comments: >There is color noted for shutters. Are there shutters? (Raduenz: That is accent and something we took off.) >Does not see a change in plane in the area over the arches. The brackets project but there is not enough change in plane to provide the needed depth. (Raduenz: Noted.) >Show sculpted lines in the elevation, not just the rendering. Needs to be substantive, not just a 2 x 4 thickness. (Raduenz: We will do a complete detail of that.) >Top of the sloping wall does not seem to fit, needs to be worked out. (Raduenz: We can put some work into that.) >Will more brick be added to the chimney? (Raduenz: Likely to add brick and paint it.) >Should chimney also be showing on the front elevation? (Raduenz: Will add it.) >What is the thinking behind the siding pattern? (Raduenz: It is a European style. It can be painted, or lots of times it is stained. It isn't seen often, but didn't want to do stucco. I can provide some photos of examples.) >What is the horizontal element above the garage door? (Raduenz: Sliding barn door.) Public Comments: There were no public comments. Vice Chair Kelly closed the public hearing. Commission Discussion: Page 10City of Burlingame Printed on 10/29/2019 September 9, 2019Planning Commission Meeting Minutes >Addition works well with the structure.

There were no questions of staff. Chair Comaroto opened the public hearing. Tim Baldwin represented the applicant, with project designer Tim Raduenz, Form + One Design Commission Questions/Comments: >Siding on the original portion of the house is tighter, new addition is wider siding to distinguish it from the original portion? (Raduenz: Yes.) >Is plate height on first floor 8 feet, but the new portion in the back is 9'-6"? (Raduenz: Yes. The existing first floor was measured to be 8 feet, but on the new portion in the back it will be 9'-6", and 9 feet on the second floor.) >There is a gable end at the rear of the house on the second floor looks cut off. Did you look at other options? (Raduenz: Yes, the issue is the massing. The existing house is 3 feet above finished grade, and that needs to be retained since it is a historic structure. The second story is set back 9 feet, but it would not work to push it further back. Would not want to reduce the ceiling height as it would create a squat appearance. Also working with the roof pitch in the front.) Page 11City of Burlingame Printed on 10/29/2019 September 9, 2019Planning Commission Meeting Minutes >There are some examples of second story additions in the neighborhood that do not look good . Concerned with the recommendation from the historic consultant suggesting the second floor be pushed further back; it would make it look like an afterthought. (Raduenz: We can't push the house back any further because of the oak tree, and we're in between two large trees.) >Was there an historical evaluation at the time of the sale? (Raduenz: No. Was not aware this could be an issue in the Easton Addition.) >Would it be possible to retain and restore some of the existing windows on the side? It could provide some additional mitigation regarding the historic resource. It would be the sash window along the side that's on the porch and in the dining room. (Raduenz: Amicable to that.) >On the other side, could you preserve the opening on the side and replace with a new window? I know the existing window is aluminum. Also could put a door in the laundry /mud room in the location of the existing window, to try and preserve more of that side facade. (Raduenz: Yes.) >(Raduenz: Considering adding a gable on the right side elevation between the center two windows to break it up a bit.) Public Comments: (Unnamed): This is a good example of supporting citizens wanting to build a house. The existing house is in poor condition. There were over 30 offers for this house, and the majority wanted to tear the house down because of its poor condition. The foundation and electrical are not safe. We need to be supportive of these types of projects when they come up, and not just build a boring farm house or something like that. Chair Comaroto closed the public hearing. Commission Discussion: >Variance findings can be made given preserving a historic resource, and the width of the existing house. The existing house is wider than we'd ordinarily see on a standard 50-foot wide lot. >The effort to move the house and preserve the existing trees is significant. >The Declining Height Envelope encroachment can be supported because the existing house is wider than a normal house, and it is being moved closer to the property line. >Impacts could be less than significant with the changes described, which would allow an MND for the environmental review. Mitigation would include reconsideration of the window sashes and side windows, and preservation of window locations on the right side. >Design review guidelines typically discourage a second floor to be situated far back. Setting the second floor further back would offset the massing and would be inconsistent with the design guidelines. >Architecture is well crafted. Addition is set off from the original historic structure. >Could support an MND, given that so much of the original construction is being preserved. >While I like the existing house, it is in poor shape. Does not understand why it needs to be retained, but it has a lot of really nice architecture and features. >Preserving the resources is important, and the applicant is going to a lot of attention to retain both the house and the two trees. >The massing of the second floor seems off, however there are constraints with the two trees and retaining the historic portions of the house. If this were a new home there could be a problem with the massing, but the circumstances here are different and the project can be supported. >Does not seem reasonable to retain the existing 1 1/2 story type since there would not be a project. >Second story is set back enough. If it was set back further there would just be a box at the back of the house, and that would not fit within the design guidelines. >Would agree to keep a bit more of the front and sides. The sun room, and that window on the side on the left elevation are really nice features.
