FOR STUDY
1. RESUBDIVISION - Lots 10, 11 and 12, Block 9, Millsdale Industrial
Park, UnIF No. S. (Rollins Road).
A resubdivision map of the above -described property, prepared by
Wilsey, Ham and Blair,, Engineers, for the owners, Emerson Electric
Manufacturing Co., proposed to create two parcels; from the presently
existing three lots by deleting interior lot lines and combining
Lot 10 and a portion of Lot 11 into one parcel having frontage of 84
feet on Rollins Road; the remaining area of Lot 11 combined with
Lot 12 will create a second parcel having frontage of 96 feet on
Rollins Road.
The City Planner advised that the lots are in a single ownership and
the resubdivision map was filed at the request of the city when it
was discovered that a new building on the property crosses the lot
line between Lots 11 and 12 and occupies a portion of each lot.
Following a review of the map, and upon advice from the City Engineer
and the City Planner that there were no particular problems involved,
the matter was scheduled for public hearing at the regular meeting
of January 27, 1964.
2. RESUBDIVISION - Lot 3 and portion Lot 6, Block 6, Burlingame
Shore L n Company. (Rayshore Boulevard.
A resubdivision map of the above -described property was filed by the
owners, Mr. and Mrs. U. Siboldi, proposing to delete an existing
property line between Lot 3 and a portion of Lot 6 to create a single
property with frontage on Bayshore Boulevard.
The City Planner advised that some time ago Lot 6 was divided into
two parcels - the portion in the present application is part of the
property of the Burlingame Motel at 811 Bayshore Boulevard, owned
by Mr. and Airs. Siboldi. It is their intention to combine the two
lots to make a single parcel for sale purposes. The zoning is R-3.
The City Planner stated that the proposed new lot will meet code
requirements with the exception at the very rear a storage building,
which is part of the motel, extends across the property line and
will have to be removed. Mr. Siboldi, the applicant, was in attendance
and was informed accordingly.
MT. Siboldi was instructed also by the City Engineer concerning detail
to be included on the final resubdivision drawing.
Reference was made to a. S foot sewer reserve easement, indicated on
the map, and it was pointed out that if the properties should be com-
bined, the easement must remain. The rear portion of the property
can be used for garages, open space or gardens.
.The application was scheduled for hearing at the meeting of January 27.
3. CONWAY AND COMPANY RE UEST FOR EXTENSION OF VARIANCE GRANT
A communication dated January 8, 1964, from John J. Conway, referred
to a variance approved in February, 1963, for apartment construction
at 1430 Bellevue Avenue, and requested an extension of 90 days in
which to exercise the variance.
Mr. Conway was in attendance and advised that he desired to amend the
application to 6 months, rather than 90 days.
The communication was scheduled for formal consideration at the
meeting of January 27.
4. VARIANCE - Resubdivision to allow 6,462 square foot lot on
!Ii lside Drive.
A resubdivision map filed by Charles M. lionroe, owner, and a variance
application filed by Nina L. Beckwith, prospective purchaser, requested
a resubdivision of Lot 4, Block 4, Burlingame Hills No. 2 into two
parcels: 114-A" with an area of 6462 square feet to front Hillside Drive,
and 114-B", an area of 9S47 square feet fronting Adeline Drive.
Mr. Peterson, architect, representing the applicant, advised that the
resubdivision proposes a dividing line just south of an existing
rock wall, which would appear to be a natural boundary between the
upper and loser sections of the property. However, the one lot will
have less than the required 7000 square feet area.
The City Planner recalled that Mr. Monroe was granted permission in
1959 to resubdivide the property conditional upon completion of certain
public improvements on Hillside Drive which were never completed. The
original application is now outlawed.
-2-
Mr. Peterson staied.that he has had discussions with the City Engineer
in behalf of his client concerning the public improvements which the
city will require. The City Engineer in comment to the Commission
recommended that widening of Hillside Drive be a condition in the.event
the variance is approved.
Following a period of discussion and review of the map, the application
was scheduled for public hearing on January 27. Commissioners agreed
to inspect the site and were informed that the residence on the lower
section of the lot is designated.2815 Adeline Drive.

a landscape plan was submitted and reviewed.
In reply to an inquiry from members of the Commission, the City Planner
advised that there are single family residences on.Bloomfield Road -to
the rear of the property.
Ina discussion concerning the proposed new R-3A District regulations
as applied to the plans submitted by.Mr. Lauder, the City Planner stated
that the building Would not.comply o there would be."two units too many.

included in the new regulations to provide'for.properties where two
or more lots would be combined to create a single building site.

number of units per area of combined properties be: prepared and sub -

at 1112 Capuchino Avenue.
Mr. Fletcher submitted plans and pointed out that all of the garages
were located at the rear, with the driveway to one side of the lot.
In a period of discussion, it was determined that the lot is 50 feet
wide by 115 feet deep. Reference was made to previous variance grants
for apartment construction on the block where two S unit buildings
were permitted on the same side of the street as the subject property
and, on the opposite side, where the lots are deeper, the Commission
approved 6 unit buildings. There were comments concerning density
control, over -crowding of properties, and the possibility of establish-
ing a precedent which would influence future developments in the area.
Commissioners'agreed to look at the property and scheduled a public
hearing for the meeting of January 27, 1964.
9. VARIANCE - Raymond L. Sines. Fence and setback variances.
An application filed by Raymond L. Sines, 400 Chapin Lane, requested
a variance "to permit construction of Sauna Bath in present tool shed
within one foot of side property line; to build garden house on exist-
ing concrete slab within two feet of side property line and to construct
a fence in excess of permitted height."
A rough sketch filed by the applicant showed location of all improvements
on the property.
The Commission was advised, that the location is the corner of Chapin
Avenue and Chapin Lane; the house fronts Chapin Avenue; Chapin Lane is
the side line.
The existing garage goes to the Chapin Lane property line and is non-
conforming; the tool shed and garden house are located behind the
garage. There is one foot of setback at the tool shed and two feet at
the garden house. Under today's rules, a 7-1/2 foot setback is required.
A statement of the property owner, accompanying the application, ad-
vised that a large redwood tree on the property prevents Moving the tool
shed further into the yard; the swimming pool makes it difficult to
relocate the garden house.
The fence on Chapin Lane, which has been in existence for many years,
is about 10 feet high and permission is requested to replace the posts,
-4-
w�afiave deteriorated, and maintain the existing height. If the height were
to be reduced, a portion of a waterfall on the grounds would be exposed.
Mr. Sines, the applicant, and Cyrus J. McMi Ilan, his attorney, were in
attendance and in discussing the project, it was pointed out that the
appearance of the shed and garden house will be changed, but not size
nor location.
A public hearing was scheduled for the meeting of January 27.
10. SPECIAL PERMIT 4 Peninsula Auction Studio. New Location.
An application filed by Mr. Carl Tait for Peninsula Auction Studio
requested a permit to operate from a building at BSO Mahler Road.
The Commission was advised that the business operated from a building
at 1311 Howard Avenue for many years but is losing; the location to
another tenant. The proposed new location in East. Millsdale Industrial
Park requires approval by the Planning Commission.
Mr. Tait stated that he will occupy a portion of an existing industrial
building; 41 off-street parking spaces are available and inasmuch as
sales are held at night, when there is very little activity in the
area, there should be no problems of parking.
Mr. Tait advised that sales are held once a month; previews one night
and two days (Saturday and Sunday afternoons) before the sale.
A public hearing was scheduled for the meeting of January 27 and
Mr. Tait was requested to have available a drawing of the building
showing the floor area which he will occupy.
