ITEMS FOR ACTION
5. PARKING VARIANCE IN FRONT YARD SETBACK FOR AN EXISTING 20' X 10'
PARKING STALL AT 1617 CHAPIN AVENUE, ZONED R -1 -
Reference staff report, 12/10/90, with attachments. CP Monroe
reviewed details of the request, staff review, required findings,
applicant's letter. Two conditions were suggested for consideration
at the public hearing.
Chm. Kelly opened the public hearing. Ken Coverdell, landscape
architect representing the applicants, Karl and Debbie Bakhtiari, was
present. His comments: they are concerned about aesthetics and
impact on the neighborhood, applicants did, need additional parking
space, during remodeling they met with the neighbors, the three
immediately adjacent (400 Chapin Lane, 1622 Chapin Avenue, 328 Chapin
Lane) support the request. Mr. Coverdell read letter in full support
of the parking variance from Mr. and Mrs. George Montgomery, 328
Chapin Lane who stated this is a good solution to the need for more
parking, vehicle is barely visible and .off the street, the parking
area has a hedge to screen it. Landscape architect commented on -
street parking is -limited to two hours during the day; another
location for the parking area would require a driveway and curb cut
on the curve of the street. He presented photographs depicting the
site before, during and after the improvements.
The following spoke in support. Marion Sines, 400 Chapin Lane: she
was extremely pleased with the result of the project, enjoys looking
across the street at the applicants' house and garden, parking for
their truck is not visible but screened by a hedge. (Mr. Coverdell
pointed out Mrs. Sines likes looking at the garden in the evening and
that is generally when the truck is parked in the space.) Dave
Smanovich, 1616 Chapin Avenue: he felt it was a high quality project,
it has been an enhancement to the neighborhood, the parking area is
not visible.
Burlingame Planning Commission Minutes Page 3
December 10, 1990
Mr. Coverdell said they have tried to follow the rules of the city
and go through the planning process correctly. A Commissioner asked
why not put this parking elsewhere. Mr. Coverdell responded that in
terms of square footage there are other places but there would be an
impact, another driveway would be needed, there is no corner on this
property, they do not have a long sight line down the street, another
driveway on the long curve would increase danger, everything on the
property is focused to enter in the safest location which is closest
to El Camino Real and most convenient to the house. The parking area
they are requesting was a preexisting parking space, they thought it
better to leave it that way; a parking area right at the swimming
pool would be somewhat difficult.
There were no audience comments in opposition and the public hearing
was closed.
CP confirmed the front of the lot is the entire Chapin Lane/Chapin
Avenue frontage. C. Galligan found this is an unusually shaped lot,
there could be a second entrance put in for additional off-street
parking but this would create a potential traffic hazard, most
drivers assume there is only one entrance; it would take away from
the aesthetic appearance of the lot; as designed the present parking
area has a very slight impact compared to the alternative of parking
an unscreened vehicle in the lawn area. For the reasons stated and
those stated by the applicant, C. Galligan moved for approval of the
parking variance subject to the conditions in the staff report.
Motion was seconded by C. Kelly with the statement that the shape and
location of the lot are exceptional circumstances.
Comment on the motion: there are other places on the site to provide
parking, applicants meet zoning code parking requirements without
this exception, if they wanted to get a car off the street they could
look into tandem parking in the driveway by the garage; the house and
landscaping are beautiful but they could add a parking space without
putting a car in front, concerned that this will set a" precedent;
agree, Ken Coverdell does nice work but cannot find exceptional
circumstances; applicants can park three vehicles easily and get a
fourth and fifth in tandem, -but where does it stop.
Motion to approve failed on a 2-4 roll call vote, Cers Deal, Ellis,
Jacobs and Mink voting no, C. Graham absent.
C. Mink moved for denial of the parking variance, seconded by C.
Galligan and approved 4-2 on roll call vote, Cers Galligan and Kelly
voting no, C. Graham absent. Appeal procedures were advised.

6. HILLSIDE CONSTRUCTION PERMIT AND CREEK ENCLOSURE PERMIT FOR THE
CONSTRUCTION OF A NEW RESIDENCE AT 2652 SUMMIT DRIVE. ZONED R-1
Reference staff report, 12/10/90, with attachments. CP Monroe
reviewed details of the request, staff review, applicants letter,
required findings, study meeting questions. Five conditions were
suggested for consideration at the public hearing. There was a
concern expressed about a cut in the hill and CE discussed structural
elements of the retaining wall.
Chm. Kelly opened the public hearing. John Lee, architect
representing the applicant, Tung Ling was present. He discussed
plans for the retaining wall at property line, it will be placed on
20' pilings, they will create drainage to carry water off before they
cut the slope; proposed driveway is similar to the one proposed and
approved for the previous Lehto application, they have tried to
preserve vegetation and use the shortest distance. He confirmed
bench cut and fill would be approximately 75' wide x 200, long; they
tried to design a house which would fit with the slope, had a problem
meeting 301 height from finished grade, they had to cut in order to
provide two stories.
Charles Kavanagh, Kavanagh Engineering, discussed plans showing
driveway and section of creek that is to be enclosed in a culvert, -�
most of the creek is open going downstream, portion being enclosed is
18' upstream of the driveway, there is a 75' existing 24" storm drain
pipe, they propose to replace all of it with concrete pipe because
they are putting the driveway over it, hope to replace the pipe and
create a defined easement for the new pipe.
The following members of the audience spoke in opposition: Mary Ann
Natly, 2656 Summit Drive; John Moran, 2616 Summit Drive; Charles
Mahnken, 2614 Summit Drive; Peter Davidson, 2694 Summit Drive;
Charles Chapman, 6 Kenmar Way; Marian Zucca, 2628 Summit Drive; Bill
Garibaldi, 2620 Summit Drive. Their comments/concerns: the mutual
driveway between the house at 2656 Summit and the proposed residence,
a seven bedroom home could have a -lot of cars using the driveway,
proposed house seems much too big for a private residence, movement
of heavy machinery and trucks during construction; retaining wall
which would be constructed on the boundary line with 2616 Summit',
need soil evaluation data and design details, will the excavation
cause the house at 2616 Summit to move; will there be adequate
bonding and insurance, will construction interrupt use of the sewer
line; house proposed a year ago was set down in the canyon, it did
not have such a high profile, does a 12,000 SF house make sense, will
it conform to the existing single family homes in the area, will it
set a precedent; there is other vacant land, where will size stop.
Concern about soil movement, need for soil stability data; a 12,000
SF house will be three to four times the size of anything in the
neighborhood, will not be compatible with other structures, a house
Burlingame Planning Commission Minutes Page 5
December 10, 1990
this size could have three in-law units, there is another nearby lot
which might be developed in the same way; displacement of 75' x 200'
of soil will affect the downhill slopes, problem of subsidence and
concern about slides if there is a wet winter. Live across the
canyon from the proposed retaining wall, am an engineer, there is
need for a complete soils stability report and environmental impact
document, when start cutting a hill everything is changed; it seems
this large house is an apartment building in the middle of a select
single family neighborhood, there has been a proliferation of large
houses on small lots in Burlingame; will lose some view and large
portion of view of the airport, the number of cars a residence this
size will have will produce a lot of noise; there are two or three
homes which will lose view.
There were no further audience comments and the public hearing was
closed. CA noted there has been much discussion about size of the
project and advised size is not relevant to this application,
application is for a hillside area construction permit (view) and a
creek enclosure permit. Responding to a question he said the flag
lot and the driveway are legal.
Commission/staff comment/discussion: city review process for grading
and prevention of potential slides; city does not require bonds or
insurance, city's limit is the review process, ultimate
responsibility is the private developer's; possibility of a condition
so that homeowners and other professional people involved are
covered; CA advised excavation has little to do with the two permits
Commission is hearing this evening, such a condition would not be
appropriate. CA noted a single family house can have only one
kitchen, if a large extended family occupied the structure the city
would not be able to prevent that occurrence as long as there was
only one kitchen. Responding to a question regarding history of the
creek during the wet season, CE advised everything upstream of this
site is culverted, there is a 40' to 45' length that is not in a
pipe, then back in a pipe at the beginning of riprap, its condition
has not changed, in 1982 it was wet but there were no slides, it has
sufficient capacity for rainstorms if not plugged.
A Commissioner expressed concern about long distance views, the
property is longer than the two properties which are adjacent,
project will block some view, house is extremely long and narrow,
Garibaldi (2620 Summit) and Moran (2616 Summit) residences will lose
a major portion of their view of the canyon, difficult to make a
determination on view from the diagrams presented, would be in favor
of postponing a decision for two weeks in order to have time to check
the view further; it is difficult to visualize where the house will
be, if it were more compact there might be less impact on the view.
The biggest problem is the size, this is a large property being
underused, owner is taking advantage of the size of the lot to build
a very large residence but is using less than 10% of available
property; high point of the house is at 3511, 1.5' higher than the
Burlingame Planning Commission Minutes Page 6
December 10, 1990
low point of the Garibaldi residence. Compared to the Lehto project
which was approved, if this project could be reduced 1.5' it would
have the same height thus impact on view as the Lehto proposal,
cannot find anything in the code which would allow Commission to deny
this application, project is well within setback and other code
requirements. Based on the previous statements, C. Galligan moved
for' approval of the hillside area construction permit and creek
enclosure permit by resolution with the conditions in the staff
report and a further condition that the height of the structure be
reduced 1.5' to the height of the Lehto proposal at its highest
point. Motion was seconded by C. Mink who suggested another
condition limiting hours for movement and use of heavy equipment.
Maker of the motion accepted this condition.
Conditions follow: (1) that the project shall be built as shown on
the plans submitted to the Planning Department and date stamped
October 19, 1990, Sheets 1-6 and November 9, 1990, Sheet WS -1; (2)
that the conditions of the Fire Marshal's memo of October 23, 1990
and City Engineer's memo of December 3, 1990 shall be met including -
that the applicant is responsible for the installation, on-going
maintenance and/or replacement of all culverts to city standards,
establish city approved easements, and located as indicated on the
November 9, 1990, Sheet WS -1 plans; (3) that the highest point on the
new roof of the house shall not exceed elevation 347' (the maximum
height of a project previously approved for the site in September,
1989), and that the framing shall be surveyed to confirm this
elevation and the survey accepted by the City Engineer before the
final framing inspection is called for and the roofing material is
attached; (4) that the finish material used on both the flat and
sloping portions of the roof shall be nonreflective as approved by
the Chief Building Inspector and City Planner; (5) that the project
shall meet Uniform Building and Fire Codes as amended by the City of
Burlingame; and (6) that the movement and use of heavy equipment on
the site as well as onto and from the site during construction shall
be limited to the hours of 8:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M. Monday through
Friday.
Comment on the motion: Commission discussion has centered on the
view, in support of the creek enclosure permit find the impact on the
creek to be minimal; regarding view, this is a wider proposal than
the Lehto project but it is 15'-20' below the uphill houses, it's not
a view issue but a size issue; can understand neighbors' concern with
slope stability but all Commission can do is go through the review
process, this is a difficult piece of property, applicant has tried
to put the development where it will be the least intrusive. A
Commissioner requested the word "all" be added to Condition #2
regarding requirements for culverts. A further comment: this is a
large house on a very large lot, in the past Commission attempted to
restrict size of buildings on very large lots and lots on exceptional
slopes, citizens rejected the idea and Commission lost that battle 15

December 10, 1990
years ago, someday the city will have to address the issue, there are
no ordinances which address this.
Motion was approved on a 5-0 roll call vote, C. Jacobs voting yes
reluctantly, C. Deal abstaining, C. Graham absent. Appeal procedures
were advised.
Recess 9:05 P.M.; reconvene 9:15 P.M.
7. SPECIAL PERMIT FOR CONSTRUCTION OF A 24 BED RESIDENTIAL CARE
FACILITY FOR THE ELDERLY AT 1117-1123 RHINETTE AVENUE, ZONED R-3
Reference staff report, 12/10/90, with attachments. CP Monroe
reviewed details of the request, staff review, applicants letter,
required findings, study meeting questions. Three conditions were
suggested for consideration at the public hearing.
Chm. Kelly opened the public hearing. John Cimino, Jr., applicant,
was present. His comments: they live approximately six blocks from
the site,, this project would be like buying into the neighborhood,
his parents and he and his wife as well as Joseph Miceli (one of the
applicants) have had experience in residential care facilities. As a
family they are devoted to helping the elderly, they are not
developers, and are excited about the potential for providing
Burlingame residents with the care that is needed. This property is
zoned R-3, an 11 unit/3 story condominium had been approved for the
site; he believed traffic volume from the proposed facility would be
one-third of what a condo or apartment building would generate. He
had spoken with three property owners on Rhinette (1132, 1128, 1113),
they had no objections to the project. Kevin Gregory, Gumbinger
Associates, architect also was present to answer any questions.
There were no audience comments and the public hearing was closed.
C. Mink spoke in support, there has been some concern about parking,
unfortunately parking is not an issue with such a facility because
typically these residents have few visitors and do not drive. C.
Mink moved to grant the special permit by resolution with the
following conditions: (1) that the project shall be built as shown on
the plans submitted to the Planning Department and date stamped
November 29, 1990 -for Sheet A-1 and October 31, 1990 for Sheets A-2,
A-3, L-1; (2) that the conditions of the City Engineers October 22,
1990 memo shall be met;and (3) that the project shall meet Uniform
Building and Fire Codes as amended by the City of Burlingame. Motion
was seconded by C. Jacobs.
Comment on the motion: have a slight problem with the handicapped
stall, there is not enough clearance and person in a wheelchair will
have to go around behind the car to enter the building, would like to
see a condition to allow 48" so that a handicapped person could exit
around the front of the vehicle. Kevin Gregory, architect, replied
Burlingame Planning Commission Minutes Page 8
December 10, 1990
to .this comment: according to building code a handicapped parking
stall is supplied for a handicapped driver, if someone is bringing a
handicapped person to the facility they could pull into the driveway,
use the handicapped ramp and then park the car in one of the spaces;
they would block the driveway for a few minutes. CE discussed
possible solutions; architect commented he did not want to take out
any landscaping at the front of the building because it would make it
look less residential. Following more discussion CE stated something
could be worked out with Public Works regarding the design of the
handicapped space.
Motion was approved on a 6-0 roll call vote, C. Graham absent.
Appeal procedures were advised.
8. SIGN EXCEPTION FOR AN AWNING SIGN AT 308 LORTON AVENUE, ZONED
C-2, SUB AREA A
Reference staff report, 12/10/90, with attachments. CP Monroe
reviewed details of the request, staff review, applicant's letter,
study meeting questions, required findings. Three conditions were
suggested for consideration at the public hearing.
Chm. Kelly opened the public hearing. Frankie Meyer, applicant and
business owner, was present. There were no audience comments and the
public hearing was closed.
C. Mink found there were special circumstances applicable to this
property in that almost directly across the street there is a city
parking lot and the late afternoon sun comes across this lot hitting
the windows of this business, with this structureless use of the lot
applicants cannot block out the light; he also found approval of the
request would not be a grant of special privilege since the neighbor
to the southwest has a 5' extension into the right of way at present.
C. Mink moved for approval of the sign exception to install an awning
sign for the reasons stated and testimony in the application with the
following conditions: (1) that the project shall be built as shown on
the plans submitted to the Planning Department and date stamped
October 25, 1990; (2) that the comments of the Chief Building
Inspector's memo of October 29, 1990 shall be met; and (3) that the
project shall meet Uniform Building and Fire Codes as amended by the
city. C. Ellis seconded the motion.

9. SPECIAL PERMIT FOR A CONFERENCE CENTER IN AN OFFICE BUILDING AT
1240 BAYSHORE HIGHWAY, ZONED C-4
Reference staff report, 12/10/90, with attachments. CP Monroe
reviewed details of the request, history of the application, staff
review, applicant's letter, study meeting questions. Seven
conditions were suggested for consideration at the public hearing.
Chm. Kelly opened the public hearing. James Casserly, representing
the property owner, Pritam Sabharwal, was present. His comments:
considering the vacancy in office space on Bayshore Highway this
facility will benefit the community by keeping business in
Burlingame, hotels need this help and they will transport the hotel
guests attending meetings and seminars to the conference facility.
Responding to questions, applicant said 25 attendees could be
accommodated in one lecture suite, if all suites were occupied at one
time applicant said the average number of people per room would be
10-20. A Commissioner pointed out that the conditions limit number
of attendees at one time to 60 people; with 20 per room in three
rooms, if a fourth room were used applicant would need to amend his
permit.
Shawn Sabharwal discussed number of attendees with staff and
Commission, his figures are an average, the condition refers to
number of people from the standpoint of a maximum; if a day should
come that they wanted more than 60 people could that possibility be
considered now. It was suggested to him that it might be more
appropriate to come back after he has experience and established a
track record on how many people use the conference facility and what
their parking occupancy is with firm numbers, he would then be in a
better position to come back to the Commission and ask for a change
in the permit since there are only four spaces remaining on the site
with this proposal; Commission has a real concern about the use of
the parking lot. Staff reiterated that 60 is the maximum number of
attendees allowed on site at one time, if there are more than 60
applicant must amend his permit.
John Steen, executive director, San Mateo County Convention &
Visitors Bureau, spoke in support, pointing out that hotels do not
want to rent their public space to groups that do not use sleeping
rooms in the hotel. There were no further audience comments and the
public hearing was closed.
C. Deal found there is adequate parking, the conference center will
be a good use for the area, the hotels are working for it, meetings
will start and end at non -peak hours. C. Deal moved for approval of
the special permit by resolution with the following conditions: (1)
that only area on the first floor of the 19,050 SF office building
shall be used as a conference center as shown on the plans submitted
to the Planning Department and date stamped November 8, 1990 with a
maximum of 4,254 SF of area for meeting rooms, the remainder to be
Burlingame Planning Commission Minutes Page 10
'December 10, 1990
used for lobby and support offices; (2) that the conference center
shall be available for lease between the hours of 7:00 A.M. and 9:00
P.M. seven days a week except that no meetings shall be scheduled to
convene or conclude during peak traffic hours in the morning (7:30 to
8:30 A.M.) or evening (5:00 to 6:00 P.M.) Monday through Friday; (3)
that the maximum number of attendees using the conference center at
one time shall be 60 with a maximum number of five conference center
employees on site at one time; (4) that there shall be 124 parking
spaces on site available to the tenants and conferees using this
facility; ( 5 ) that any change to the hours of operation, numbers of
users, number of employees, the space used for conferences within the
building, the parking on site or any other aspect of this use shall
require amendment to this use permit; (6) that all the requirements
of the Uniform Building Code and Uniform Fire Code as amended by the
City of Burlingame shall be met in this first floor area before the
conference center use can commence; and (7) that this use shall be
reviewed for compliance with its conditions in one year (December,
1991) and each two years thereafter.
Motion was seconded by C. Galligan and approved 6-0 on roll call
vote, C. Graham absent. Appeal procedures were advised.
10. FOUR SPECIAL PERMITS TO ALLOW AN AMBULANCE SERVICE AT 1616
ROLLINS ROAD, ZONED M-1
l
Reference staff report, 12/10/90, with attachments. CP Monroe
reviewed details of the request, staff review, applicant's letter and
supplemental forms, study meeting questions, required findings.
Seven conditions were suggested for consideration at the public
hearing.
Chm. Kelly opened the public hearing. Robert Lindgren, BayStar
Medical Services, applicant requested_ that.the number of ambulances
in Condition #4 be changed to 21 since that is the number they
estimate in two years time. Staff/applicant/Commission discussed
number of vehicles and procedure when they may want to expand parking
into the drainage easement.
Speaking in favor of the application, Dr. Brad Gilbert, Health
Officer, Emergency Medical Services, County of San Mateo: his
department is the regulatory agency for advance life support services
in San Mateo County, BayStar has extensive experience in this field,
the proposed location is centrally located with good access to the
freeway, this would be a staging area from which vehicles go to
posting sites. He advised South San Francisco is not included, they
provide service through their own Fire Department.
The following spoke in opposition. Joseph DiMaio, 1606-1610 Rollins
Road: he was not actually against or for the proposal, would have
liked more time to study it; concerned about how ambulances will
operate when driven onto Rollins Road, what will it be like when they
Burlingame Planning Commission Minutes Page 11
'December 10, 1990
respond direct to an emergency, Rollins Road traffic is intense and
high speed, his office windows face the driveway and he was concerned
about noise. Tom Chakos, 1600 Rollins Road: it was difficult to
evaluate the proposal in such a short period of time; there is a
restricted entrance into that parking area, presently 40, vans pull
in and around the area, there is a horseshoe turnoff, his property
faces the parking lot, he had a concern about expanding parking into
the drainage easement, there is no flood control there, if this area
is used consideration should be given to proper drainage, he would
not .want a multiple story building put up in the future, since
vehicles will be going to a posting area he did not think it would be
a problem nor would maintenance be a problem.
Staff explained noticing procedures. Notices are required to be
mailed 10 days in advance of a public hearing and notices for this
application were mailed November 30, 1990. There were no further
audience comments and the public hearing was closed.
Commission/staff discussion: staff advised this application does not
include any portion of the drainage easement, applicants are leasing
that area but not proposing to use it now. Dr. Gilbert responded to
a question, stating it would be extremely unusual for an ambulance to
use a siren out of this site, they would only use a siren if they got
the call when they were coming out of the parking lot, there are six
ambulances permanently stationed in other parts of the county, a call
would go to one of those first, siren use on this site would be once
a month or less.
C. Galligan expressed concern about the problem with noticing but
commented if action on the application were delayed it would
adversely affect the project going forward, he advised those
concerned to talk to the applicants, there is an opportunity of
appeal to the City Council. He found the proposed use at the
proposed location would not be detrimental or injurious to property
or improvements in the vicinity and that failure to approve this use
would be detrimental to the public health, it is in conformance with
the general plan and purposes of the zoning ordinance.
Based on the staff report and testimony this evening, C. Galligan
moved for approval of the special permits by resolution with the
following conditions: (1) that the project shall be built as shown on
the revised plans submitted to the Planning Department date stamped
November 14, 1990, showing 6,756 SF of office, 3,540 SF of storage
and vehicle maintenance and on-site parking spaces for each employee,
expected customer, service vehicle and ambulance; (2) that the
project shall meet the requirements of the Chief Building Inspector's
memo dated October 29, 1990 and the Fire Marshals memo dated
November 5, 1990; (3) that the project shall meet all Uniform
Building and Fire Codes as amended by the city, including limiting
the vehicle repairs to those permitted in the B-1 occupancy; (4) that
the ambulance company shall operate a 24 hour service seven days per
Burlingame Planning Commission Minutes
Page 12
December 10, 1990
week, with administrative hours from 8:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M., with a
maximum of 46 employees, eight service vehicles and 21 ambulances at
the site; (5) that any changes in operation, floor area or use
(inside or outside the building) which exceeds the maximums as stated
in these conditions shall require an amendment to this permit; (6)
that any proposed use for the vacant lands at the rear of the
property which is not related to this application would require a
separate application for a conditional use permit; and (7) that this
item be reviewed for "compliance in two years (December, 1992) and
five years (December, 1995).
Motion was seconded by C. Mink and approved 6-0 on roll call vote, C.
Graham absent. Appeal procedures were advised.
