ACKNOWLEDGMENT
The Chair acknowledged the presence of Mrs. Thomas Sine and Mrs. Everett

Commissioner Frankard would not be able to be present. The date was
agreeable to the balance of the Commission.
The Chairman then informed the Commission that he and Commissioner Sine
had been appointed to meet with Councilman Amstrup for work on guidelines
regulating conversion of apartments to condominiums. Commission members
approved this program.

1. TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP, COLONIAL TWELVE, BEING A RESUBDIVISION OF
LOTS 28 AND 29, BLOCK 1, MAP OF SUBDIVISION NO. 4 OF BURLINGAME PARK,
BY PHILIP KARP (ND -35P)
Chairman Kindig announced hearing on this application, and called on
Mr. Philip Karp to make a presentation.
Mr. Karp told the. Commission the map had been redrawn since the
study meeting. He distributed copies of the new map which preserves
present lot lines of Lots 28 and 29 instead of combining them into
one lot. Each lot is then divided into six small lots and part of a
common parcel, "A." This Parcel A encompasses the front setback, the
driveway and the rear yard, all common areas for the proposed townhouses.
Mr. Karp explained that they propose six side by side connected town-
houses on each of the two lots, 28 and 29. An old building on the
site would be demolished. No variance would be required. He claimed
that all ordinances would be met, and all that is required is approval
of a tentative subdivision map. The property is zoned for greater
density than the proposed use. Each townhouse unit would have its own
two -car garage with automatic doors and. would be approximately 31'
high. The project would be set back 20 feet from E1 Camino Real.
Side setbacks will be 11h'. Center line of the 25' wide driveway would
be the line between Lots 28 and 29.
Commissioner Sine reminded Mr. Karp he had previously mentioned land-
scaping the rear of the lots instead of having a concrete driveway.
Mr. Karp agreed to the landscaping.
There was no response to Chairman Kindig's request for audience comment.
The public hearing was declared closed.
City Engineer Davidson was asked to comment. He reserved final comment
on the new map since there had been no opportunity to review, but
stated that the City does not want to be a party to the common easement
of 25' down the middle of the lots for access and public utilities.
He emphasized that the City does not "maintain the sewer" for this property,
although it does maintain the cleanout in front of the right-of-way on
the sidewalk. The sewer is privately maintained from that point back.
He added there is a problem with water service since there is only a
2" standard steel main in front of the property. This 2" main serves
several properties on the north and south of the site, and it might be
necessary to connect to an 8" water main to the south, because of the
additional load. This connection must be at the developer's expense.
This would be dependent upon the meter size chosen by the developer,
which would probably be l'h-211. Pulling 2" of water off a 2" main depletes
the supply.
Mr. Karp protested his engineers had found adequate pressure of
90# to 100# on this 2" main, and considered the 2" main adequate for
this and adjoining properties. The City Engineer agreed there would be
no problem with pressure, but there definitely would not be enough
capacity.
Location and cost of new connection were discussed.
Chairman Kindig requested comment from the City Planner. City Planner
,4'wan, commenting there had not been time to review the new map, submitted
at 7:45 P.M., said environmental assessment had been made on the old map
- 3 -
which showed one Parcel "A" plus 12 townhouse lots. But if the lot
line between Lot 28 and Lot -29 is retained, Parcel A would be part of
two different lots. Mr. Karp agreed that Lot 28 would be divided into
6 lots plus Parcel A, as would Lot 29. He stated that Parcel A is the
same on both, and was "Just a line and does not exist." The City
Planner was not convinced this was the correct procedure. He noted
this was both a subdivision and a conversion from a single lot to a
six -unit condominium. Procedure requires a negative declaration. The
conclusions on the negative declaration showed a physical betterment
of the property. He requested the record show the negative declaration
was based on the previous tentative map showing Parcel A as one lot;
and said that on the basis of two lots this statement would not be
correct.
Commissioner Taylor questioned the lot coverage, thinking it excessive.
Mr. Karp insisted coverage was 46.5%. He added this type of subdivision
comes under the provisions of the State Map Act.
Commissioner Mink questioned if a purchaser would buy his lot plus 1/6
or 1/12 of the common area. Mr. Karp stated it would be 1/12 of Parcel A.
When the Commissioner noted that there are two lots and that Parcel A
actually does not exist, Mr. Karp indicated the two lots could be called
A and B and an undivided interest in common areas of A and B sold.
On a question from Commissioner Mink, City Attorney Karmel confirmed
that the usual type of common driveway consists of two equidistant
sides of a centerline. In this case, it would be 12'h' of Lot 28 and
12Y of Lot 29. Commissioner Mink affirmed that this is then a resub
map of lots of less than legal size with a common driveway which does not
meet code requirements, and he saw no way to approve it.
Mr. Karp took the position that while this was the first townhouse
subdivision for Burlingame, it is not new for other cities and these
were not substandard lots for this purpose.
Mr. Karp described the advantages of these townhouses over condominiums -
fully insulated building, garage and laundry downstairs, dumb waiter
in each unit, 3/4 bath on 2nd floor; 2 bedrooms and 2 baths on third
floor. He called it a small home for people who disliked condominiums,
and cited several being built in San Mateo. He considered there was a
good market for this type of building; felt all requirements were
being met, and that this discussion involved only technicalities.
Commissioner Mink stated there was a technical problem with the map
since it shows two lots of 50' frontage and a substandard driveway of
only 12k' on each lot. He noted the Commission did not have the plans
for this development. Mr. Karp stated these had been presented to staff
previously. The Chairman asked the reason for a revised map. Mr. Karp
replied that the Fire Department would require 100% sprinkling of the
buildings if this was one lot. The cost of this would be prohibitive
to the developer, so the site was again made two lots.
Commissioner Jacobs suggested this application be continued to the
next study meeting since the Commission had no opportunity to review
the new map and there was confusion as to whether or not it was in
compliance with applicable codes.
City Attorney Karmel, after questioning the applicant, concluded that
this map, whether it was a 7 unit subdivision or a 14 unit subdivision,
was within the provisions of the State Subdivision Map Act. He quoted
Section 11535.1 of this Act which provides a condominium containing
five or more units is a subdivision under State law. He commented on
the possibility of a variance between the City code and the Subdivision
Map Act, since it is working with a true subdivision within the meaning
of the State statutes. A tentative subdivision map would have to be
approved by the City Council under the usual subdivision procedure. Mr.
Karp agreed to change the term "parcel map" to "subdivision map."
Chairman Kindig pointed out that because of this map revision the
Commission was being forced to conduct a study meeting at a public
hearing.
Commissioner Mink still considered lot'size to be substandard. The
City Attorney felt he could not be definite on this point since it is
a condominium'project. Commissioner Taylor was disturbed by the idea
of buying a lot and an undivided interest in some other land, mentioning
. .connecting Los Angeles bungalows side by side on a private cul-de-sac."
Mr. Karp protested the'term "substandard lot size," stating a regular
condominium does not have any private land area at all, being a
subdivision of air space. He inferred this is a combination of both
land and air space, and the purchaser is actually getting a total 3,000
square feet of area. Commissioner Taylor reminded him that in a condo-
minium all land is under a single ownership.
Commissioner Mink questioned the City Planner on the present status
of the negative declaration. City Planner Swan stated the negative
declaration must now be amended since it was based on a condominium
project on a single lot. If this present project has two common areas,
it is introducing the problem of a mutual access easement from one side
to the other, and there cannot be an easement granted to one owner
from the same owner. The ingress -egress easement is difficult and must
be resolved.
Fire Chief Moorby commented that the original project had been presented
to his department as one building with all units being connected.
The applicant had been informed that the project would require a
sprinkler system because the floor area would exceed 20,000 square feet.
He had then gone to two lots.
City Attorney Karmel suggested information be presented as to the
method of handling this type of project in other cities, and stated the
problem of proper description of private and common areas in the deeds
must be resolved.
Commissioner Mink moved this map be referred to staff and continued
for study May 13 and hearing May 29. Commissioner Taylor seconded
the motion and it carried on voice vote.
2. SPECIAL PERMIT FOR ROOM ADDITION TO ACCESSORY BUILDING AT 21
HAYWARD COURT FOR JOHN G. HURD BY ROGER CHINN.
Chairman Kindig announced this application for hearing. Mr. Roger Chinn,
representing the applicant, told the Commission his client wishes to
-5 -
add a room to an accessory building presently used as a bathhouse on
the rear of his lot. This addition would be a game room or rumpus room
and would upgrade the present structure. The structure already has a
bathroom.
Site plan and elevations were inspected by the Commission.
City Planner Swan told the Commission this was a permitted use with a
special permit in the R-1 district.
City Engineer Davidson had no comment other than that the 5' utility
easements across the rear and the west side of the property must be
maintained. Mr. Chinn affirmed they would be.
There was no response to the Chairman's request for audience comment.
The public meeting was declared closed.
Commissioner Mink questioned cooking facilities, and was assured there
would be none. Commissioner Sine moved this application be granted.
Motion was seconded by Commissioner Jacobs and carried on unanimous roll
call vote.
3. SPECIAL PERMIT FOR OPEN STORAGE OF VEHICLES IN M-1 DISTRICT, ON
PG & E EASEMENT IN MILLSDALE INDUSTRIAL PARK (APN 025-271-090):
OWNER -----FRANK EDWARDS COMPANY, INC.: BY PAUL JACKSON ND -34P)
Chairman Kindig announced this application for hearing, and questioned
City Planner Swan for comments. The City Planner reported he was
concerned with the number of vehicles to be parked in this area and had
requested parking plan showing spaces and striping. This 340' x 140'
area is already paved and will have a chain link fence.
Mr. Allan Ames of Coldwell, Banker & Company reviewed the application for
the Commission, as agent for the Frank Edwards Company. Mr. Ames
explained that this paved area fronting on David Road and in the P.G.
& E. easement between Rollins and Adrian Road has drainage and has previously
been used to park cars. There are three P.G. & E towers on the
property. Paul's Camper Sales of San Bruno would be leasing the property
and using it for storage of their recreational vehicles until the
vehicles are moved to their lot in San Bruno for sale. Private parking
for owners of recreational vehicles would also be provided. The area
would be enclosed by a 6' chain link fence with two 12' rolling gates.
Mr. Paul Jackson then presented the Commission with parking plan
showing spaces and striping for the lot.
Commissioner Kindig requested audience comment on this application.
There was none and the public hearing was declared closed.
City Engineer Davidson, upon being asked to comment, stated his only
concern was with the 12" storm drain on this property and that it not
be covered up. Mr. Ames assured him there had been no changes in the
property for a number of years and there would be no change in the
drainage.
Commissioner Francard stated he would like some landscaping along the
David Road side of the property. Mr. Jackson had no objection, but
noted the Police Department had preferred the fencing be of a type so that
the interior of the lot would be visible. Commissioner Francard
commented the landscaping would not have to be solid and could be spaced.
Mr. Jackson indicated it would be no problem.
Chairman Kindig questioned ingress and exit. Mr. Ames stated both would
be on David Road. There is a 14' driveway all around the interior of
the lot.
Commissioner Taylor questioned method of parking. Mr. Jackson indicated
he would park the vehicles himself, backing them into spaces.
City Planner.Swan questioned the angle of parking and length of vehicles.
Average vehicle length was declared as 25' and parking angle at 709
Some discussion on striping followed.
Commissioner Francard again brought up the subject of landscaping. Mr.
Ames considered it would be too difficult with no water and a blacktop
surface. Mr. Jackson volunteered to use planter boxes.
Commissioner Taylor questioned the cleaning of the vehicles and was
informed they would be cleaned on the lot in San Bruno and towed to
this lot for parking.
Commissioner Mink requested the following to be made part of the
record: Letter of explanation from Frank Edwards Company dated
April 5, 1974, negative declaration dated April 12, 1974, and Environmental
Assessment dated 4/12/74.
Commissioner Taylor moved this application be approved subject to review
in one year. Commissioner Mink seconded the motion. Commissioner
Francard wished a commitment on the landscaping stated. Mr. Ames
protested that a permit for one year did not justify the expensive
fence to be erected and the applicant's five year lease. Commissioner
Norberg moved to amend the motion by adding, "a strip of 3' be landscaped
and maintained in front of this property on David Road, landscaping to
be kept trimmed to a height of 3.60." Commissioner Mink seconded the
motion to amend and it carried by'unanimous voice vote. Commissioner
Taylor then restated his motion to show "approved for a period of
five years." Commissioner Mink approved his former second, and the motion
carried by unanipous roll call vote.
4. PETITION TO AMEND PLANS FOR APARTMENT PROJECT AT 255 ROLLINS ROAD
BY ANTHONY AKELIS.
Paul Kilmartin was present as representative of the applicant and told
the commission the amendment desired is to reduce the project from 8
apartments to 7 apartments. It will be a two story building. Upon
inquiry by the Chairman, it was found that landscaping and all other
provisions of the variance would remain the same.
There was no response to the Chairman's request for audience comment,
and the public hearing was declared closed.
Neither the City Planner nor the City Engineer had a comment on this
amendment to variance. Commissioner Mink moved that this petition to
- 7 -
amend be approved. Commissioner-Mimk--seconded the motion and it carried
by unanimous roll call vote.
RECONVENE
After a short recess at 9:10, the meeting reconvened.
5. SIGN VARIANCE FOR GROUND SIGN IN FRONT SETBACK AT 1575 BAYSHORE
HIGHWAY FOR BOMAR INVESTMENT.
Chairman Kindig real letter of April 22, 1974 from James Marsh Company
stating they had modified this sign to conform to the ordinance.
Therefore no variance is necessary.
6. SIGN PERMIT FOR 228 SF POLE SIGN ON ADRIAN ROAD BY AMANA REFRIGERATION
WEST COAST
Plans for this sign were distributed to the Commission.
Mr. Gene Whittle of Amana Refrigeration was invited to address the
Commission. He told them Amana plans to erect a 19,000 square feet
office -warehouse on this property which they have purchased. No
construction has yet been started but the sign permit application is
part of an attempt to get all details organized. The sign is needed
for identification from Adrian Road and the Freeway. The sign proposed
would be 35' high because of trees in this area; 225 square feet;
freestanding and located in the front setback. He stated they propose
a well-designed building set back from the street 128'. The sign itself
would be approximately 5' from the sidewalk, and he considered it in
conformity with other signs in that area.
There was no response to the Chairman's request for audience comment,
and the public hearing was declared closed.
The City Planner had no comment. Commissioner Norberg objected to the
stark appearance of the I-beam pole and suggested a different design.
Mr. Whittle replied they had planned to cover it with white aggregate,
but the cost was prohibitive, and they are looking for an alternate
method. Commissioner Taylor agreed with Commissioner Norberg that the
pole should be made more attractive. Commissioner Francard questioned
landscaping and was told there would be planting around the base.
Commissioner Sine suggested plastering the pole with marble chips.
Commissioner Mink moved the sign permit be approved in compliance with
two sketches submitted April 22, and that treatment of the pole for
design be reviewed by staff. Commissioner Sine seconded the motion and
it carried by unanimous roll call vote.
7. PETITION FOR FENCE THAT EXCEEDS SIX FEET IN HEIGHT AT 1247 DRAKE
AVENUE BY BRUNO N. MUZZI
Sketches of Mr. Muzzi's proposed structure had previously been distributed
to the Commission. He was invited by the Chairman to describe it.
Mr. Muzzi told the Commission'he wished to build an arch over his
driveway entrance which would connect to a newly constructed block wall
across the front of his property. This arch -type structure consists
M -IM
of two 4 x 6's 8'6" high, 20' apart. They would support a 2' wide
trellis type arrangement made of two 4 x 6's 2' long which would in turn
support two 2 x 4's extending 20' across the top. The house number
would be dependent from the center of the arch, and vines, etc. could
be grown across it. This structure would be erected on the front
property line with the top extending back into Muzzi's property.
There was no audience comment and the public hearing was declared closed.
The City Planner cautioned if this is considered a fence, no part of
it should extend over the property line, including the top cross
members. If it is considered a sign, the supporting members should be
entirely of metal.
There followed some discussion of whether or not the top would extend
over the side property line.
Commissioner Sine moved the application for fence exceeding 6' in
height be approved conditional upon the building inspector's approval
of the construction. Commissioner Jacobs seconded the motion and it
carried on the following roll call vote:
AYES: COMMISSIONERS: FRANCARD,JACOBS,SINE,KINDIG
NAYE S : COMMI S S I ONE RS : MINK, NORBE RG , TAYLOR
8. APPEAL BY HAROLD W. MARTIN TO DECISION BY CITY PLANNER THAT AN
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT IS REQUIRED FOR C-3 USE OF IAT IN R-3
DISTRICT AT 119 PRIMROSE ROAD
Chairman Kindig announced this appeal for hearing.
Secretary Sine read City Planner Swan's letter of March 15, 1974 to
Mr. Harold W. Martin which stated in brief that the change in use would
be similar to that permitted by a reclassification. A reclassification
is a code amendment, and all code amendments require Environmental
Impact Reports. The applicant was informed that upon submittal of
additional fee and the EIR, the application could come before the
Planning Commission.
Mr. Wm. R. Morris, an associate in the law firm of Mr. Harold Martin,
was present as representative. Mr. Martin was unable to appear because
of an impending trial.
Mr. Morris cited Form E-2 filed by Mr. Martin which essentially shows
the present uses of the building are to be continued. He stated that
since this is the case, no detrimental environmental impact could be
ascertained. Mr. Morris quoted Guidelines for Implementation of
California Environmental Quality Act which cite 9 changes having a
significant effect on the environment. These include conflict with
environmental goals set by the community; negative aesthetic effect;
endangering plant and wildlife, and others. He stated that this project
does not come within the province of any of these effects. Mr. Morris
concluded by stating that any effect of the project would be affirmative
rather than negative, referencing increased parking, installation of a
sprinkling system and general upgrading of the building.
Chairman Kindig requested staff comment on Mr. Morris' presentation.
City Attorney Karmel, after reviewing the process by which this matter
came before the Commission, discussed the difference between
discretionary and ministerial projects as affected by the Environmental
Quality Act. He also cited City Resolution 26-73 which specifically
list four types of action as discretionary and requiring an EIR. These
are: enactment and amendment of zoning ordinances; issuance of zoning
variances; issuance of conditional use permits; approval of tentative
subdivision maps. Final EIR must be heard by the Planning Commission.
Mr. Morris argued that this is a discretionary.matter. By definition
in the State Guidelines, adopted by the City, a discretionary project
requires the judgment and the interpretation of the public agency.
This, he inferred, would be consideration of actual circumstances,
evidence and facts such as he presented at this meeting.
Chairman Kindig commented that apparently City Planner Swan had based
his request for an EIR both on City policy and on Fire Department
regulations. He requested comment from Fire Chief Moorby.
The Fire Chief stated his basic concern was with the reclassification
of this property. If it is reclassified to C-3, it automatically becomes
Fire zone 1, and the building would not meet the requirements of the
UBC for this fire zone. The Fire Department therefore would not allow
this use for this frame and stucco building.
Commissioner Jacobs questioned the fact that the building is now
being used for offices, and this has been permitted. Fire Chief
Moorby suggested that if this variance is denied, some action be taken
against this present commercial use.
Commissioner Mink remarked that in his opinion this process would
be similar to a reclassification�.which would require an EIR, and he
would uphold the City Planner's decision.
Commissioner Sine requested confirmation from the Fire Chief that
sprinkling a building is the best protection for it, if the consideration
of zoning and fire code is put aside. Chief Moorby agreed.
Replying to Commissioner Mink's statement, Mr. Morris interpreted the
State Code not as an absolute mandate, but thought it should be
construed to consider code amendments in relation to other conditions
pertinent. Commissioner Mink replied that his request deals with land
use which is a code amendment requiring an EIR.
The City Attorney repeated reference in Resolution 26-73 which states
that an amendment to -the zoning ordinance requires an EIR, and also
quoted another section which states "Where there is . . . a substantial
body of opinion that considers the effect to be adverse, then an
EIR should be prepared . ."
Commissioner Taylor moved that the City Planner's decision that an EIR
is required for C-3 use of this lot be sustained. Commissioner
Mink seconded the motion and it carried on the following roll call vote:
- 10 -
AYES: COMMISSIONERS: FRANCARD,JACOBS,MINK,NORBERG,TAYLOR
NAYES: COMMISSIONERS: SINE,KINDIG
Mr. Morris protested that in this immediate R-3 area there were now
existing uses of offices, auto shop, and office and apartment
building.
9. REVIEW OF LANDSCAPING PLANS FOR OFFICE BUILDING PROJECT AT 1633
BAYSHORE HIGHWAY
Landscaping plans were distributed to Commission members.
City Planner Swan reviewed this project for the Commission. He reported
that the special permit was approved by the Planning Commission on
October 30, 1972 subject to a number of conditions, one of which was
"Specific landscaping plans be submitted for review by the Commission."
The City Planner remarked on recently established policy of having all
landscaping plans approved by the Park Director, and noted this had
been reviewed by Park Director John Hoffman. Both the City Planner and
the Park Director had conferred with Mr. Woodruff as of this date.
He referred to the Park Director's memo of April 18, 1974 which
commented: Landscape plans do not correspond to plot plan in regard
to planters in main parking lot. Planter at side of property is not
large enough for plantings proposed, especially with overhang, -..of
autos. Planter at rear inadequate for trees proposed. No irrigation
system plans submitted. Inadequate backup room for some 900 parking.
The City Planner commented on these items and then introduced Mr.
Woodruff.
With regard to plan discrepancies, Mr. Woodruff stated that the total
landscaped area was the same as in the original plan. Some changes
in placement of landscaping were made in the front. He offered to put
in auto bumpers in the rear and other locations to minimize the 2'
overhang of cars and prevent damage to the trees. He suggested low
ground cover could be planted instead in the rear. Mr. Woodruff voiced
pride in the overall landscaping which includes 200 trees of 15 gallon
size and hundreds of plants. He noted design by a top landscape
architect.
Commissioner Kindig questioned the Park Director's reaction after today's
conference. The City Planner indicated Mr. Hoffman was not satisfied.
Chairman Kindig commented he thought these points of difference should
be settled between the developer and staff before final approval is
given. Commissioner Francard stated he would like to see such plans
at least 24 hours ahead of time so that some conclusions could be drawn
before the actual meeting.
Mr. Woodruff commented that the only urgency in approval of this plan
was the number of plantings and large trees already on the site which
needed to be planted. He noticed the only areas of disagreement
were along the rear property line and the south property line, and
requested permission to go ahead in areas where there is no controversy.
Commissioner Francard questioned where the line could be drawn in an
approval of this type, and when revised plans would be available.
Chairman Kindig remarked that this plan was being studied at a public
hearing, and thought it the -consensus of Commission opinion that planting
could progress in areas of no controversy. Commissioner Taylor moved
that permission be given to proceed with plantings on the Stanton Road
and Bayshore sides of the site. Commissioner Sine seconded the motion
and it carried by voice vote. Commissioner Kindig told the developer
the balance of the plan should be presented at the study meeting of May 13
with adequate preparation. Commissioner Francard again remarked that he
could not vote onplans he had not had the opportunity to study.
ELECTION OF OFFICERS
Commissioner Sine nominated Commissioner Mink for chairman, seconded
by Commissioner Taylor. Nominations closed on motion of Commissioner
Sine. Commissioner Jacobs nominated Commissioner Sine for vice
chairman, seconded by Commissioner Francard, nominations closed on motion
of Commissioner Jacobs. Commissioner Mink nominated Commissioner Taylor
for secretary, Commissioner Norberg seconded. Commissioner Sine nominated
Commissioner Jacobs for secretary. Nominations closed. Commissioner
Jacobs elected secretary by roll call vote.
Commissioner Kindig voiced his appreciation of the privilege of serving
as chairman for the past year. Chairman Mink commented the commission
had enjoyed his good leadership.
CITY PLANNER REPORT
City Planner Swan told the Commission of a request for a business permit
at 1212 Burlingame Lane which is leased space at the rear of a property
that has been occupied by a TV repair center. He added that as far
as he knew there was a joint egress -ingress easement - that this lane
was not public property. The Building Inspector thought it should not
be permitted. He questioned if Commission had any background on this
property. Chairman Mink commented it had previously been determined
this was not a legitimate city address. There was further discussion
which supported this position.
City Planner Swan requested suggestions from the Commission for inclusion
in staff development of guidelines for condominium conversions. Some
suggestions were: Inclusion of laundry facilities; enough room in
shared areas; provision for all amenities; adequate parking; private
storage areas.
The City Planner closed the meeting with appreciation to Commissioner
Kindig for his year's guidance and compliment to the Commission as
being one of the best in the Bay area.
