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.

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.

Millsdale Industrial Park requires approval by the Planning Commission.
