Unapproved Minutes
Deputy Fire Chief Mark Ladas gave a presentation on the merger implementation plan between the Central
County Fire Department, Millbrae Fire Department and the San Bruno Fire Departrnent that was reviewed at
a study session with the sub-committee on July 1 1, 2011. He reviewed the phase one implementation
timeline which would begin with the administrative merge on October 1, 2011; open temporary fire station
on July 1, 2012; review data analysis on March 1, 2013; and in May 2013 a decision would be made whether

clarification on items during the presentation.
what is found out. Councilman Brownrigg expressed interest in seeing some flexibility in the percentage paid
by each city noting the needs could change in future years. In addition, Councilman Brownrigg thought that

his motion to include support for station number one as the favored location for a temporary station; Vice

difference in the services provided.

Healthy Living in Burlingame
In April 2011 the Burlingame City Council unanimously adopted a resolution to
"embrace policies that facilitate activities to promote healthier lifestyles and
communities." Among the reasons it did so are that more than half of Califomia's adults
are overweight or obese and, therefore, are at risk for many chronic conditions; that more
children are being diagnosed with diseases linked to overweight and obesity previously
only seen in adults; and that, for the first time in U.S. history, the current generation of
children is expected to have shorter lives than their parents, due to the consequences of
obesity.
Burlingame has a number of programs in place that are designed to promote healthy
living, including a new Downtown Plan that will maximize physical activity options,
healthy food choices at the city's Fresh Market, a city employee wellness program, and
healthy snacks and lunches at city-sponsored programs.
During 201 l, the city is offering these additional opportunities for residents who want to
get and stay healthy:
The Buriingame Recreation Center is offering four new classes with Healthy
Kiddos this fall to promote healthy cooking and eating. Healthy Kiddos is a
Half Moon Bay organization led by Manuela Seitz-Hipkins that advocates
providing children with healthy food choices when dining in or out. Three of
the classes are designed for parents and children age 4 and older to take
together to leam how to make healthy school lunches, breakfasts and snacks.
The fourth, "Healthy Ingredients for Life - No GMOs," is for individuals age
l0 and up to help them learn to read labels and discover which foods contain
genetically modified organisms. For details and to register, visit

Use Permit and a Finding of Public Convenience and Necessity (PCN) to add sales of alcoholic
beverages to a mini-mart at an existing gasoline service slation at 1147 Rollins Road, and consider

deny the application for Amendment to Conditional Use Permit and a Finding of Public

On December '10, 200'l , the Planning Commission denied without prejudice an application to convert the
service bays at an existing gas station to a '1,695 SF mini-mart; the applicant appealed the Commission's
decision to the City Council. On February 20,2002, the City Council held a public hearing regarding the
appeal of the Planning Commission's denial without prejudice. The City Council overturned the Planning
Commission's decision and approved the application with the following condition: that no alcoholic
beverages shall be sold from the mini-mart, the only cooked food prepared or sold on site shall be that
heated in a microwave oven (except hot beverages)'. The gas station and mini-mart has been in
operation since 2002.

alcoholic beverages, beer and wine for off-site consumption fiype 20), in the existing mini-mart.
MEETING DATE: Auoust 15.20!1
CITY COUNCIL MEETING - August 15,2011
Public Hearing - 1147 Rollins Road
The applicant, Gus Greco, owner and operator Gus 76, would like to add sales of alcoholic beverages at
an existing gas station and mini-mart at 1147 Rollins Road. Specifically, the applicant is applying for a
Type 20 license, which would allow the sale of beer and wine for off-site consumption, a Type 20 license
does not allow the sale of distilled spirits. The existing mini-mart sells prepackaged snacks, frozen
foods, candy, gum, cigarettes, soda, hot beverages, microwave heated foods and similar items. A copy
of the previously approved site plan and floor plan is provided for reference. The following application
was recommended for approval by the Planning Commission at their July 11,2011 meeting:
Amendment to Conditional Use Permit to add sales of alcoholic beverages to a mini-mart at an
existing gasoline service station.
The mini-mart and gasoline station is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Based on the previously
approved conditional use permit, there is one full-time employee (cashier) on-site at all times. There are
three shifts, 6:00 a.m.- 2:00 p.m., 2:00 p.m.-10:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m. - 6:00 a.m. There is also a book
keeper that is on-site for two hours in the morning or mid-afternoon during the week. The number of
employees was not expected to change. There are approximately 250 customers estimated to visit the
site each day. There are expected to be a maximum of I to 10 people on-site at any one time, including
owner, employees and customers.
The existing gasoline service station and mini-mart is required to provide at least two on-site parking
spaces for employees, one parking space per 400 SF of retail space and one space parking space per
300 SF of office space. Based on these standards, a total of 7 parking spaces are required for the gas
station and mini-mart; 12 on-site parking spaces are provided and is therefore in compliance.
The latest Planning Commission staff report (dated July 11, 2011) is attached to this report and contains
a detailed analysis of the application.
Prior Planning Commission Action:
Plannino Commission Recommendation:
This application was reviewed by the Planning Commission on July 1 1, 201 1 as a Regular Action ltem,
where the Commission recommended approval to the City Council of the applicant's request for an
Amendment to Conditional Use Permit to add sales of alcoholic beverages at an existing gas station and
mini-mart at 1 147 Rollins Road, Zoned C-2 (see attached July 1 1, 201 1 Planning Commission Minutes).
The Commission recommended approval of the application on a vote of 4-0-3-0 (three Commissioners
absent). Since the application requires a Finding of Public Convenience and Necessity by the City
Council, the Planning Commission's action on the Amendment to Conditional Use Permit was a
recommendation.
Oetermination of Public Gonvenience or Necessity:
With this application the applicant is requesting a Determination of Public Convenience or Necessity to
sell beer and wine for off-site consumption (attached). This application is now being brought to City
Council for review and determination that the public convenience and necessity would be served by the
issuance of a Type 20 (Off-Sale Beer and Wine) alcohol sales license.
Finding of Public Convenience and Necessiy: Pursuant to Section 23958.4 of the California Business
and Professions Code, since the number licenses permifting alcohol sales within the area exceeds the
maximum number allowed within the census tract (Tract 6051 - 40 licenses (32 on-sale and 8 off-sale)
currently exist where a maximum of four are allowed), constituting an "overconcentration" per ABC
regulations, the applicant is required to seek City adoption of a finding of "public convenience and
2
Police Department Review: Attached is a memo from Police Captain Mike Matteucci, dated May 4,
2011, regarding the determination of the public convenience and necessity for this business. Based on
the review of the application, the Police Department is recommending denying the request for a finding of
Public Convenience and Necessity (efer to conclusion on second page of memo).
However, the Police Department notes that if the City Council determines that the public convenience
and necessity would be served by the issuance of a Type 20 alcohol sales license for this business, the

Permit.

Camino Real? (Meeker - does not recall the restrictions.)
Asked if the Commission could recommend restrictions on the amount of alcohol that is sold.
(Meeker - no, the sale of alcohol is regulated by the Alcoholic Beverage Control Board - ABC.)
Chair Yie opened the public hearing.
Gus and Gladys Greco, 1147 Rollins Road; represented the applicant.
Commission comments:
Why did the City Council not approve the alcohol sales previously? (Gus/Gladys Greco - the
Council expressed concem about the location being so close to the freeway. They have
demonstrated that the business can operate soundly. After midnight sales are through a small
window. There are cameras monitoring activities on the site. lf alcohol sales are approved, theywill
complywith suggested conditions bythe Police Department. Theywish to increase revenueforthe
business.)
Asked if the hours of alcohol sales could be limited by the Commission? (Meeker/Guinan - hours
of alcohol sales is the jurisdiction of the ABC.)
Asked about the patrons who use the location? (Gus Greco - a lot of business from the nearby
apartments. Have another location with alcohol sales with no incidents. Noted that there is no
relationship between alcohol sales and service stations. Greco (son) - also serving people going on
recreational trips. Other businesses that have the approval to sell alcohol have affected the ability of
this business to survive. Willing to abide byanyconditions recommended bythe Police Department.
Only beer and wine are to be sold.)
Public comments:
. None.
There were no further comments and the public hearing was closed.
Additional Commission comments:
Referenced the list provided by the Police Department of other businesses that sell alcohol.
Noted that on-sale and off-sale alcohol permits are quite different.
Have some physical baniers for this location; people in the area will use the business - it is truly a
convenience store.
Compelled by the fact that existing customers are asking for the addition of alcohol sales.
The Broadway interchange will dramatically change the area and will affect the business.

CONVERT AN E)ilSTING GAS STATION REPAIR SHOP TO A MIM-MART (GUS GRECO,
APPLICANT; H.P. ENGINEERING & CONSTRUCTION, DESIGNER; CLO\GR TRUST, PROPERTY
OWNER) (l2NOTICED PROJECT PLANNER CATHERINE KEYLON
Reference staff report, 12.10.01, with attachments. CP Monroe presented the report, reviewed criteria and
stalf comments. Nine conditions were suggested for consideration. Commissioners asked: were the traff,c
numbers used to project trips for a mini-mart at this location averages taken from another source or counts
bases on this particular location; the numbers were based on mini-mart trip generation from a standard
source; the numbers show an increase of 6% of trips with the addition of a mini -mart, were these gas stations
the same size; it is hard to tel1 since the increase is based on the sum of a number of site specific traffic
counts; in one submiftal it notes that the County Health Departrnent has approved this use, what does that
mean; the applicant should address this. Is it possible to have a cash only ATM? Yes. There seems to be a
problem with the numbering of the on-site parking spaces on the plans. Access to and from this site is
awkward, given the intersection, has the applicant discussed redevelopment ofthe entire site to improve the
use of this site relative to the signalized intersection. This question was directed to the applicant. There
were no further questions of staff.
Chairman Vistica opened the public hearing. Mark Hudak, attomey, 216 Park Road, representing the
property owners Gus and Gladys Greco, noted that the applicant owns two or tlree other similm gas stations
on the Peninsula; which they have converted to mini-marts since this application was submitted the
applicant has re-evaluated the proposed operation based on previous comments made by the Commission,
including not selling alcoholic beverages; they have found that it is hard to find qualified mechanics to
support the service part ofthe gas station business, this is an ideal location for a gas station with mini-mart
because of its proximity to the freeway; they hired John Wilson to do a traffic impact study and worked on
resolving the study parameters with the Engineering Deparhent, the trip generation was based on actual gas
sales from the site and adjusted by the increase in trips as documented by the San Diego Association of
Govemment trip generation studies for mini-marts, these indicate that there would be 13 more customers
with a mini-mart on the site, equivalent of 26 individual trips (13 in and out); feel that adding a mini-mart
will not generate a 1ot more customers but will cause the existing customers to spend more money when they
stop for gas; they have had an ATM that only dispenses cash on the site for several years; concemed about
the condition which prohibits a microwave oven to heat up food" tlink issue offood establishment is covered
by not allowing tables and chairs for customers to use; the Health Department review referred to is that they
have reviewed the applicant's proposal to serve food and approved it pending city approval of the use; the
ingress and egress at the intersection has changed with the new sigral, people are using Cadillac Way more,
don't feel that one more customer an hour will have a big impact on the intersection, the traffic consultant
did not feel that an access study was necessary; applicant does not think that this wiil become a 7-11,
because ofthe number ofexisting gas sales, 7-11 sel1s alcoholic beverages which attracts customers and in
the San Diego studies the size of the mini-mart did not seem to be a factor in trip generation, the key was
pass by traffic.
Commissioner noted that this rrini-mart is bigger than any of the others in the city at this time. Applicant
noted that the Chewon station sells twice as much gas as the Union 76 station so would have more
customers. Commissioner asked if this particular location was factored into the trip generation numbers.
Applicant did not know. Commissioner asked if there were any hazardous wastes on the site; applicant
noted that when the tanks were replaced the site was cleaned up, they will not just redo the floor of the
service bays, they will replace it for compiiance with County requtements. Commissioner; do not
understand why the size of the mini-mart does not affect the number of customers athacted, could
-7-
City of Burlingque Planning Commission Minutes December 10, 2001
bformation about change in number of customers from your other sites after installation of mini-marts be
provided, where are the applicant's other stations; what about shift in customers from 7-11 to this site;
applicant noted that they did not recall being asked to count customer levels at the 7-1 1 and none oftheir
other sites are accessed off a freeway, they are all along El Camino Real. Commissioner clarified that the
1695 SF area for the mini-mart included the storage area and rest rooms; yes. There were no further
comments from the floor and the pubtc hearing was closed.
Commission discussion: the comparison with other mini-marts in the city does not work in this case, need to
consider the location; the nearby 7-1 I is 50% larger but has 600% more customers; did site visit at 7-1 1 and
during the 20 minutes all the customers came from the north passing by the gas station; people will stop at
the gas station for lunch, using the microwave, the ATM also increases the reasons to stop, together diverted
7- 1 I pass by trafEc, ability to microwave lunch, ATM etc . could increase the number of customers at the gas
station by 700-900 customers, have studied location and this could become a nighEnare, difficult to support.
Concemed about the comparative table because the sales area in each existing mini-mart may not have
included rest rooms and storage, the 7-11 has 10 on site parking spaces and this gas station is providing 12
so there will be no impact there, now there is a signal at the intersection customers must use which improves
access over the present situation, customers will prefer 7- 1 1 because they se11 alcoholic beverages, presence
of microwave improves convenience. Concemed about traffic and increasing the attraction to the gas
station, easier to stop here than 7-11 and it is more attractive, table may not be perfect comparison but
anticipate there will be more than 250 customers here after the mini-mart is built based on location; signal
has not resolved access problem, cannot support based on the numbers given, need a more accurate study.
Not opposed to the location of this mini-mart, but not convinced by the traffic data that there will be this few
customers. One way to tell if this site will compete with 7-11 is for the applicant to tel1 us the number of
items with skew numbers, if it is fewer than 7-11 then 7-11 will be the better choice for a customer, this
comparative information should be provided before a decision is made. Concemed that we will create
another 7- 1 1, with a volume of customers at the gas station which exceeds 600 a day, the traffic at the station
location is difficult and dangerous, cannot support.
C. Boju6s moved by resolution to deny the conditional use permit and take-out permit to convert three
service bays to a mini-mart at the existing gas station because of the negative impact on traffic at this
location. The motion was seconded by C. Keighran.
Comment on the motion: CA Anderson pointed out for the new commissioners that a denial would not
aliow the applicant to resubmit this same request for a mini-mart for a year, a denial without prejudice would
allow the applicant within 90 days to revise his request, if he wished, and resubmit it for frrther
consideration; given the choices think applicant should be allowed to address the trafEc and customer issues
raised with a new valid study, also should include a market study of new customers and diverted 7-11
customers based on this location, the study should be done by a f,rm that deals in market studies for this tlpe
ofbusiness, the results of the study can then be translated in to traffic impacts, so would suggest a denial
without prejudice. Would also ask that the sales area of this proposed mini-mart and sales volumes be
compared to the sales areas and volumes of the other mini-marts owned by this applicant. Traffic study
needs to be amplified as discussed and better sampling used. The maker and second ofthe motion agleed to
amend the motion to be a denial without prejudice.
Chairman Vistica called for a voice vote on the motion to deny without prejudice the application for a mini-
mafi at 7147 Rollins Road. The motion passed on a 6-0-1 (C. Osterling absent) voice vote. Appeal
procedures wete advised, noting that the item was subject to appeal until the date of the next City Council
meeting on January 7 ,20O2. This item concluded at 9:15 p.m.

Detemination of Public Convenience or Necessity for ll{J f,.ellins f,d. (Gus 76)

From:
Subject:
Date:
Gus 76, a service station with a convenience stole, requests approval of a Finding of Public
Convenience and Necessity (FOPCN) to allow an alcoholic beverage license (fype 20) to sell
beer and wine for off-site consumption. The Alcohol Beverage Control Board (ABC) enforces
the licensing of alcoholc retailers regulated by State Iaw under Section 23958 of the Business
and Professional Code. ABC will deny aoy application if issuance of the Iicense will create a
law enforcement problem or if issuance will result in or add to an undue concentation of
licenses.
Gus 76 is located in Census Tract #6051, which roughly consists of the Broadway, Rollins Road,
and Bayshore Highway area. There are currently forty total licenses in this Census Tract (thirty
two on-sale licenses and eight off-sale licenses). The maximum number of off-sale licenses for
this tact is four. Any more than four licenses is considered an over concentation. Attached is
a list of all ABC licenses in Census Tract #6051 .
The phrase "public convenience and necessity" is not defined in either the Alcohol Beverage
Control Act provisions of ttre State Business and Professions Code or in the ABC guideline.s.
Other than the nunber and location of licemed alcohol premises, the Burliogame Police
Department used the following facto$ to determine the level of support for a finding of 'bublic
convenience and necessit/':
A review of the police related calls at Gus 76 were minimal and not related to the
business other than the physical location (i.e. accidents, tafic stops);
There are thirty two on-sale licenses and eight off-sale licenses in this Census Tract;
Gus 76 is located less fian a% mile away fiom 7-11 and ftom the Broadway Business
Dishict (vihere there are a number of restaurants and bars that are also permittd by law,
to sell "off-sale" alcohol to the public);
Residential housing is located within 100' of Gus 76 to the west (the Northpark
Aparments) and less tha,l. a Yt mils s1y6y to the south (the Burlingame Q6ldsns
residential tract). There are no parks or schools in the area;

Gus 76 is a gasoline service station with a convenience store tlat provides a variety of
gocery and sundry items;
Gus 76 is opel 24 hours a day.
CONCLUSION:
Gus 76's primary business is selling gasoline. The applicant has stated that alcohol sales would
be part of a more balanced and viable business. The supporting paperwork provided did not
include any evidence that would suggest an economic hardship would occur if the alcoholic
beverage license were denied. Staff does not believe adding one more alcohol retailer above the
maximum of four results in any appreciable gain in terms of convenience, nor is it necessary in
an area already sewed by eight off-sale alcohol retailers.
Based on the analysis cortained in this memo, and the fact this census tract has an over
concentration of alcohol licenses, the Burlingame Police Deparhent is recommending denying
Gus 76's request for a finding ofPublic Convenience and Necessity.
Sales of alcoholic beverages shall be restricted between the hours of2:00 a.m. to 6:00
a.m. daily;
No more ttran 5% of the squae foolage of the premises will be used for the display of
alcoholic beverages;
The petitioner shall be responsible for maintaining free of litter the area adjacenl to the
premises over which they have control
GrafEti sha.ll be removed from the premises and all parking lots under the control of the
iicensee within seventy-two (72) holrs of application. Ifthe graffiti occurs on a Friday or
weekend day, or on a holiday, the licensee shall remove the grafEti within seventy-two
(72) hours following the beginning ofthe next weekday;
The exterior of the premises shall be equipped with lighting of sufrcient power to
illuminate and make easily discemible the appearaace and conduct of all persols on or
about the premises. Additionally, the position of such lighting sha11 not disturb the
norrnal privacy and use of any neigfuboring residences;
If a business were ta receive approval, tle Burlingame Police Department would recommend the
approval be subject to lhe following conditions:
Loitering (loitering is defined as "to stand idly about; linger aimls5sly u/ithout lawful
business') is prohibited on any sidewalks or property adjacent to the licensed premises

Gasoline service station with mini-mart.
Add sales of alcoholic beverages to existing mini-mart.
Sales of alcoholic beverages requires and amendment to the conditional use permit
and finding of public convenience and necessity.
History: On December 10, 2001 , the Planning Commission denied without prejudice an application to
convert the service bays at an existing gas station to a I ,695 SF mini-mart (December '10, 201 '1 Planning
Commission Minutes attached); the applicant appealed the Commission's decision to the City Council. On
February 20, 2002, the City Council held a public hearing regarding the appeal of the Planning
Commission's denial without prejudice (see attached February 20, 2002 City Council Minutes). The City
Council overtumed the Planning Commission's decision and approved the application with the following
condition: "that no alcoholic beverages shall be sold from the mini-mart, the only cooked food prepared or
sold on site shall be that heated in a microwave oven (excepl hot beverages)". The gas station and mini-
mart has been in operation since 2002.
The applicant is now requesting an Amendmentto the Conditional Use Permitto allowthe sale of alcoholic
beverages, beer and wine for off-site consumption (Type 20), in the existing mini-mart.
Project Description: The applicant, Gus Greco, owner and operator Gus 76, would like to add sales of
alcoholic beverages at an existing gas station and mini-mart at 1147 Rollins Road. Specifically, the
applicant is applying for a Type 20 license, which would allow the sale of beer and wine for off-site
consumption; a Type 20 license does not allow the sale of distilled spirits. The existing minFmart sells
prepackaged snacks, frozen foods, candy, gum, cigarettes, soda, hot beverages, microwave heated foods
and similar items. A copy of the previously approved site plan and floor plan is provided for reference.
With this application, the applicant is requesting the following:
Amendment to Conditional Use Permit to add sales of alcoholic beverages to a mini-mart at an
existing gasoline service station.
The mini-mart and gasoline station is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Based on the previously
approved conditional use permit, there is one full-time employee (cashier) on-site at all times. There are
three shifts,6:00 a.m.- 2:00 p.m., 2:00 p.m.-10:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m. - 6:00 a.m. There is also a book
keeper that is on-site for two hours in the morning or mid-aftemoon during the week. The number of
employees was not expected to change. There are approximately 250 customers estimated to visit the
site each day. There are expected to be a maximum of g to 10 people on-site at any one time, including
owner, employees and customers.
Action ltem
Item No.
Amendment to Conditional Use Permit 1 147 Rollins Road
The existing gasoline service station and mini-mart is required to provide at least two on-site parking
spaces for employees, one parking space per400 SF of retail space and one space parking space per
300 SF of office space. Based on these standards, a total of 7 parking spaces are required for the gas
station and mini-mart; 12 on-site parking spaces are provided and is therefore in compliance.
Determination of Public Convenience or Necessity: With this application the applicant is requesting a
Determination of Public Convenience or Necessity to sell beer and wine for off-site consumption
(attached). Staffwould notethatif the Amendment to Conditional Use Permit is approved, this application
will then be forwarded to City Council for review and determination that the public convenience and
necessity would be served by the issuance of a Type 20 (Off-Sale Beer and Wine) alcohol sales license.
Attached is a memo from Police Captain Mike Matteucci, dated May4, 201 1 , regarding the determination
of the public convenience and necessity for this business. Based on the review of the application, the
Police Department is recommending denying the request for a finding of Public Convenience and
Necessity (refer to conclusion on second page of memo).
However, the Police Department notes that if the City Council determines that the public convenience and
necessity would be served by the issuance of a Type 20 alcohol sales license for this business, several
conditions of approval should be added to the Conditional Use Permit. These conditions of approval are
listed in the Police Captain's memo and will be incorporated as recommended conditions of approval for
the Amendment to Conditional Use Permit.
Staff Comments: None.
Study Meeting: AttheJune 13,2O11, Planning Commission studymeeting, the Commission had several
questions regarding the application and moved to place this application on the RegularAction Calendar
(see aftached June 13, 201 1 Planning Commission Minutes). Below are responses to questions from City
staff.
1. Would there be any difficulty in terms of law enforcement with allowing alcoholsales so close
to the freeway entrance; would it be more diffrcult for crime prevention.
Police Captain Mike Matteucci notes that 'the proximity of the freeway would be a factor for crime
prevention in general; however, these factors would be present regardless of alcohol sales. For
example, this may be a better target for robberies because the fteeway makes for a quick getaway,
but whether or not they sell alcohol does not change this factor."
2. Check to determine whattypes of alcohol would be permitted; restricted to beer and wine?
According to the Califomia Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control, a Type 20 license (Off-Sale
Beer and Wine) authorizes the sale of beer and wine for consumption off the premises where sold.
A Type 20 license does not allow the sale of distilled spirits.
3. Is it common to allow alcoho, sares in conjunction with a service station?
There are a total of ten gas stations within the City of Burlingame. Only one existing gas station,
located at 1480 Broadway (comer of Broadway and El Camino Real), has a Type 20 license.
Several other existing gas stations have small retail areas but do not sell alcohol.

compatible with the aesthetics, mass, bulk and character of existing and potential uses on
adjoining properties in the general vicinity.

1147 ROLLINS ROAD, ZONED C.1 - APPLICATION FOR AMENDMENT TO CONDITIONAL USE
PERMITTO ADD SALES OF ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES TO A MINI.MARTATAN EXISTING GASOLINE
SERVICE STATION (GUS GRECO, APPLICANT; GUS AND GLADYS GRECO, PROPERW OWNERS)
STAFF CONTACT: RUBEN HURIN
Senior Planner Hurin presented a summary of the staff report, dated June 13,2011
Commission comments:
Not necessarily opposed to the request.
Burlingame Foods no longer has a license; a minimal amounl of alcohol is sold at Earthbeam; the list
of restaurants and other establishments selling alcohol are not heavy sellers of alcohol.
Doesn't see that the use is problematic.
Concemed about selling until 2 a.m.
Would there be any difficulty in terms of law enforcement with allowing alcohol sales so close to the
freeway entrance; would it be more difficult for crime prevention.
Sees a great distance between the Broadway establishments and the proposed location.
Check to determine what types of alcohol would be permifted; restricted to beer and wine?
Opposed; cars and alcohol do not mix; not good as a matter of principle,
Specifically restricted the ability to sell alcohol with the initial permit; why allow it now.
Need to pay heed to the Police Department's comments and concems.
Allowing the off-sale licenses in a blighted area can create problems; not appropriate.
A strong message was sent originally not to permit the sale of alcohol.
ls it common to allow alcohol sales in conjunction with a service station?
This item was set for the regular Action Calendar when allthe information has been submifted and reviewed
by the Planning Depaiment. This item concluded at 7:15 p.m.

1147 ROLLINS ROAD _ ZONED C-T _ APPLICATION FOR CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT TO
CONVERT AN E)ilSTING GAS STATION REPAIR SHOP TO A MIM-MART (GUS GRECO,
APPLICANT;H.P. ENGINEERING& CONSTRUCTION, DESIGNER; CLOVERTRUST,PROPERTY
OWNER) (12 NOTICED) P ROJECT PLANNER: CATHERINE KEYLON
Reference staffreport, 12.10.01, with attachments. CP Monroe presented the report, reviewed criteria and
staffcomments. Nine conditions were suggested for consideration. Commissioners asked: were the traffic
numbers used to project trips for a mini-mart at this location averages taken from another source or counts
bases on this particular location; the numbers were based on mini-mart trip generation from a standard
source; the numbers show an increase of 6% of trips with the addition ofa mini-mart, were these gas stations
the same size; it is hard to tell since the increase is based on the sum ofa number of site specific trafEc
counts; in one submittal it notes that the County Health Departrnent has approved this use, what does that
mean; the applicant should address this. Is it possible to have a cash only ATM? Yes. There seems to be a
problem with the numbering of the on-site parking spaces on the plans. Access to and from this site is
awkward, given the intersection, has the applicant discussed redevelopment ofthe entire site to improve the
use of this site relative to the signalized intersection. This question was directed to the applicant. There
were no further questions of staff
Chairman Vistica opened the public hearing. Mark Hudak, attomey, 216 Park Road, representing the
property owne6 Gus and Gladys Greco, noted that the applicant owns two or three other similar gas stations
on the Peninsula; which they have converted to mini-marts since this application was submitted the
applicant has re-evaluated the proposed operation based on previous comments made by the Commission,
including not selling alcoholic beverages; they have found that it is hard to find qualified mechanics to
support the service part ofthe gas station business, this is an ideal location for a gas station with mini-mart
because of its proximity to the freeway; they hfued John Wilson to do a hafEc impact study and worked on
resolving the study parameters with the Engineering Department, the frip geneftfion was based on actual gas
sales from the site and adjusted by the increase in trips as documented by the San Diego Association of
Govemment trip generation studies for mini-marts, these indicate that there would be 13 more customers
with a mini-mart on the site, equivalent of 26 individual trips (13 in and out); feel that adding a mini-mart
will not generate a lot more customers but will cause the existing customers to spend more money when they
stop for gas; they have had an ATM that only dispenses cash on the site for several years; concerned about
tle condition which prohibits a microwave oven to heat up food, think issue offood establishment is covered
by not allowing tables and chairs for customers to use; the Health Department review refered to is that they
have reviewed the applicant's proposal to serve food and approved it pending city approval ofthe use; the
ingress and egress at the intersection has changed with the new signal, people are using Cadillac Way more,
don't feel that one more customer an hour will have a big impact on the intersection, the traf6c consultant
did not feel tlat an access study was necessary; applicant does not think that this will become a 7-11,
because ofthe number ofexisting gas sales, 7-1 I sells alcoholic beverages which attracts customers atrd in
the San Diego studies the size of the mini-mart did not seem to be a factor in trip generation, the key was
pass by traffic.
Commissioner noted that this mini-mart is bigger than any of the others in the city at this time. Applicant
noted that the Chevron station sells twice as much gas as the Union 76 station so would have more
customers. Commissioner asked if this particular location was factored into the trip generation numbers.
Applicant did not know. Commissioner asked if there were any hazardous wastes on the site; applicant
noted that when the tanks were replaced the site was cleaned up, they will not just redo the floor of the
service bays, they will replace it for compliance with County requirements. Commissioner; do not
understand why the size of the mini-mart does not affect the number of customers attracted, could
-7-
CiO' of Burlingame Planning Commission Minutes December 10, 2001
information about change in number of customers from your other sites after installation of mini-marts be
provided, where are the applicant's other stations; what about shift in customers ftom 7-11 to this site;
applicant noted that they did not recall being asked to count customer levels at the 7-11 and none oftheir
other sites are accessed offa freeway, they are all along El Camino Real. Commissioner clarified that the
1695 SF area for the mini-mart included the storage area and rest rooms; yes. There were no firrther
comments from the floor and the public hearing was closed.
Commission discussion: the comparison with other mini-marts in the city does not work in this case, need to
consider the location; the nearby 7- 1 I is 50% larger but has 600% more customers; did site visit at 7-1 1 and
during the 20 minutes all the customers came from the north passing by the gas station; people will stop at
the gas station for lunch, using the microwave, the ATM also increases the reasons to stop, together diverted
7- 1 1 pass by traffic, ability to micrcwave lunch, ATM etc. could increase the number of customers at the gas
station by 700-900 customers, have studied location and this could become a nightrnare, difficult to support.
Concemed about the comparative table because the sales area in each existing mini-mart may not have
included rest rooms and storage, the 7-l I has 10 on site parking spaces and this gas station is providing 12
so there will be no impact there, now there is a signal at the intersection customers must use which improves
access over the present situation, customers will prefer 7- 1 1 because they sell alcoholic beverages, presence
of microwave improves convenience. Concemed about traffic and increasing the attraction to the gas
station, easier to stop here than 7-l l and it is more attractive, table may not be perfect comparison but
anticipate there will be more than 250 customers here after the mini-mart is built based on location; signal
has not resolved access problem, cannot support based on the numbers given, need a more accurate study.
Not opposed to the location of this mini-mart, but not convinced by the traffic data that there will be this few
customers. One way to tell if this site will compete with 7-1 I is for the applicant to tell us the number of
items with skew numbers, if it is fewer than 7-11 then 7-11 will be the better choice for a customer, this
comparative information should be provided before a decision is made. Concemed that we will create
another 7- I 1, with a volume ofcustomers at the gas station which exceeds 600 a day, the traffic at the station
location is difficult and dangerous, cannot support.
C. Boju6s moved by resolution to deny the conditional use permit and take-out permit to convert three
service bays to a mini-mart at the existing gas station because of the negative impact on traffic at this
location. The motion was seconded by C. Keighran.
Comment on the motion: CA Anderson pointed out for the new commissioners that a denial would not
allow the applicant to resubmit this sarne request for a mini-mart for a year, a denial without prejudice would
allow the applicant within 90 days to revise his request, if he wished, and resubmit it for further
consideration; given the choices think applicant should be allowed to address the taffic and customer issues
raised with a new valid study, also should include a market study ofnew customers and diverted 7-11
customers based on this location, the study should be done by a firm that deals in market studies for this tlpe
ofbusiness, the results of the study can then be translated in to traffic impacts, so would suggest a denial
without prejudice. Would also ask that the sales area of this proposed mini-mart and sales volumes be
compared to the sales areas and volumes of the other mini-marts owned by this applicant. Traffic study
needs to be amplified as discussed and better sampling used. The maker and second of the motion agreed to
amend the motion to be a denial without prejudice.
Chairman Vistica called for a voice vote on the motion to deny without prejudice the application for a mini-
rl;iarl. at ll47 Rollins Road. The motion passed on a 6-0-1 (C. Osterling absent) voice vote. Appeal
procedures were advised, noting that the item was subject to appeal until the date of the next City Council
meeting on January 7 ,2002. This item concluded at 9:15 p.m.
-8-
d. Appeal of the Plannins Commission's Denial without Preiudice on an ADDlication for a
Conditional Use Permit to Convert the Sertice Bays of an Existinecalltatiaals
City Planner Monroe referred to her staff report dated January 15,2002, and recommended council
hold a public hearing regarding the appeal ofthe Plaruring Commission's denial without prejudice on
the above referenced project.
Mayor Janney opened the public hearing. Mr. and Mrs. Gteco, owners of 1147 Rollins Road, and
Mark Hudak, attomey for the owners, requested council approve the application for a conditional use
permit to convert the service bays to a mini-mart at I 147 Rollins Road.
There were no further comments from the floor and the hearing was closed.
Councilman Galligan made a motion to approve Resoluti on #22-2002 overtuming the Planning
Commission's denial without prejudice on an application for a conditional use permit to convert the
service bays of an existing gas station to a mini-mart at 1147 Rollins Road, Zoned, C-t, to include
additional conditions; seconded by Vice Mayor Coffey, approved by voice vote, 4-1, with

Determination of Public Convenience or Necessity for l lztl f,.sllins Rd. (Gus 76)
May 4,2011
Gus 76, a service station with a convenience storc, requests approval of a Finding of Public
Convenience and Necessity (FOPCI9 to allow an alcoholic beverage license (Iype 20) to sell
besr and wine for off-site consumption. The Alcohol Beverage Contol Board (ABC) enforces
the licensing of alcoholic retailers regulated by State Law under Section 23958 of the Business
and Professional Code. ABC will deny any application if issuance of the license will create a
law enforcement problem or if issuance will res,ult in or add to an undue concentration of
licsnses.
Gus 76 is located in Census Tract #6051, which roughly consists ofthe Broadway, Rollins Road,
and Bayshore Highway area. There are currently forty total licenses in this Census Tract (thirty
two on-sale licenses and eight oflsale licenses). The maximum number of off-sa1e licenses for
this tract is four. Any more than four licenses is considered an over concentration. Attached is
a list of all ABC licenses in Census Tmct #605 1 .
The phrase "public conveaience and necessity'' is not defined in either the Alcohol Beverage
Confrol Act provisions of tle St"te Business and Professions Code or in the ABC guidelines.
Other than the uumber and location of licensed alcohol premises, ihe Burlingame Police
Deparhent used the following factors to determine the level of support for a finding of "public
convenience and necessity'':
A rcview of the police related calls at Gus 76 $rsre minimal and not rclated to the
business other than the physical Iocation (i.e. accidents, traffic stops);
There are thirty two on-sale licenses and eight off-sale licerses in this Census Tract;
Gus 76 is located less thana% mil6 aq6y from 7-11 and from the Broadway Business
District (rafiere there are a number of restaumnts and bars that are also permitted, by law,
to sell 'bff-sale" alcohol to the public);
Residential housing is Iocated within 100' of Gus 76 to the west (the Northpark
Apartnents) and less thao, a % mile away to the south (the Burlingame Gardens
residential tact). There are no parks or schools in the area;
I
I
I
I
I
Gus 76 is a gasoline service station with a convenience store tbat provides a variety of
grocery and $mdry items;
Gus 76 is open 24 hours a day.
CONCLUSION:
Gus 76's primary business is selling gasolire. The applicant has stated that alcohol sales would
be part of a more balanced and viable bwiness. The supporting paperwork provided did not
include any evidence that would suggest an economic hardship would occm if the alcoholic
beverage license were denied. Staff does not believe adding one rnore alcohol retailer above the
maximum of four results in aly appreciable gain in tems of convenience. nor is it necessary in
an area already served by eight off-sale alcohol retailers.
Based on the analysis contained in this memo, and the fact this census tract has an over
concentration of alcohol licenses, the Burlingame Police Deparhent is recoomending denying
Gus 76's request for a findfug ofPublic Convenience and Necessity.
If a business were to receive approval, the Burlingame Police Departuent would recommend the
approval be subject to the following conditions:
Sales of alcoholic beverages shall be restricted between the hours of 2:00 a.m. to 6:00
a.m. daily;
)r[6 ssr€ thgn JoZ of ihe square footage of the premises will be used for the display of
alcoholic beverages;
The petitioner shall be resporuible for maintaining free of litter the area adjacent to the
premises over which they have control;
GrafEti shall be removed from the premises and all parking lots under the contol ofthe

INTRODUCTION OF AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
BURLINGAME AMENDING SECTION 10.40.038 OF THE BURLINGAME MUNICIPAL
CODE TO PLACE FURTHER RESTRICTIONS UPON THE USE OF LEAF BLOWERS
WITHIN THE CITY OF BURLINGAME
The City Council should:
Provide its comments relative to the proposed amendment;
lntroduce the proposed ordinance, by title only, waiving further reading; and
Direct the City Clerk to schedule the proposed ordinance amendment for
consideration at a public hearing on September 6, 2011.
BACKGROUND
On May 2,2011, the City Council conducted a study session with the Burlingame Citizen's
Environmental Council (CEC) to review that organization's recommendations regarding limitations on
the use of leaf blowers within the community (see attached report entitled 'Burlingame Citizen's
Environmental Council Recommendations to the Burlingame City Council - Leaf Blowers and Our
Public Health").
At the conclusion of the study session, the City Council appeared supportive of implementing further
restrictions on the use of gas-powered leaf blowers. Staff and CEC representatives were requested to
provide additional information regarding the availability of alternatives to gas-powered leaf blowers;
specifically, electric-powered blowers (see attached "Cost Analysis for Sustainable Gardening
Equipment Supporting a Leaf Blower Ban in the City of Burlingame"). Additionally, staff was requested
to poll the community to determine citizen support for imposing further restrictions upon the use of leaf
blowers (see attached "Summary of Response to Leaf Blower Surve/ and August 9, 201 1 e-mail from
Dan Porter to Jim Nantell - "Leaf Blower Review").

Proposed Restrictions: As is evident from the City's survey responses, citizens responding appear
evenly split regarding support for a complete leaf blower ban versus opposition to such a ban.
Strongest support appears to be for restrictions upon the use of gas-powered leaf blowers in residential
areas, while still preserving the ability to use such equipment in non-residential areas. When queried
regarding support for a ban on the use of electric-powered leaf blowers, support appears to wane.
Generally speaking, the survey results demonstrate general support for banning the use of gas-
powered leaf blowers within residential areas of the City.
When asked about the hours for operating leaf blowers, citizens responding to the survey appear to
support a reduction in the number of hours that leaf blowers may be used in the City; though more than
50% of respondents appear to support current day and time of day restrictions.
Based upon the information gleaned from the survey responses, as well as information provided by the
CEC, staff proposes the following revised restrictions upon the use of leaf blowers within the City of
Burlingame:
(a)On and after January 1,2012, the use of gas-powered leaf blowers shall be
prohibited in all areas of the City of Burlingame; only electric-powered leaf
blowers shall be allowed to be operated within the boundaries of the City. The
use of gas-powered generators or similar devices as means of providing power
to electric leaf blowers is expressly prohibited. Exemptions to these restrictions
are granted to personnel maintaining City-owned properties and for crews
maintaining non-residential properties.
(b)On and after January 1, 2012, within all residential areas of the City, leaf blowers
shall only be operated during the following hours: 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.,
Monday through Friday. The use of leaf blowers on Saturdays, Sundays and
holidays is prohibited. Exemptions to these operating hours are granted to
personnel maintaining City-owned properties, as follows: leaf blowers may be
operated between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m., Monday through
Saturday; and 8:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m. on Sundays and holidays, as long as the
leaf blowers comply with the noise levels established by subsection (c) below.
(c)ln all areas of the City of Burlingame, no person shall operate any leaf blower
which does not bear an affixed manufacturer's label indicating the model number
of the leaf blower and designating a noise level not in excess of sixty-five (65)
dBA when measured from a distance of fifu (50) feet utilizing American National
Standard lnstitute Methodology. Any leaf blower that bears such a

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BURLTNGAME
AMENDING SECTION 10.40.038 OF THE BURLINGAME MUNICIPAL CODE
TO PLACE FURTHER RESTRICTIONS UPON THE USE OF LEAF BLOWERS
WITHIN THE CITY OF BURLINGAME
The City Council of the City of Burlingame finds as follows:
Section 1. Factual background
The use of gasoline engine powered leaf blowers results in the release of significant amounts of
carbon emissions into the City of Burlingame's air each year; the prolific use of this type of
equipment has the potential to create significant clean-air and health impacts for the community.
ln addition to the potential impacts attributable to carbon emissions from leaf blowers, their use
disturbs ground-borne particulate matter that, when airborne, can be ingested by the general
public, potentially affecting longterm health. Finally, the use of leaf blowers in the community
negatively impacts the quality of life enjoyed by residents of the community through the creation
of excessive noise during times when residents are present within their homes. For these
reasons, the City Council of the City of Burlingame supports greater restrictions upon the times
during which leaf blowers may be used within the community, as well as a ban on the use of
gas-powered leaf blowers within all residential areas of the community.
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Burlingame does ordain as follows:
Section 10.40.038 "Leaf Blowers" is revised as follows; deletions to Seclion are shown as

COST ANALYSTS FOR SUSTAINABLB GARDENING EQUIPMENT
SUPPORTINGA LEAF BLOWER BAN IN THE C TY OF BURLINGAME
Note: Report data was collected by speaking directly with manufacturers, researching
product specs on line, and speaking with local retailers.
Approach: Two approaches are covered in this report. They include:
r. Swap gas-powered blowers for electric:
a. ElecEic Blowers replace fuel-powered blowers-a straight swap.
Looking for commercial-grade, durable, electric technolory. More durable
electric blowers tend to be corded.
z. Swap gas-powered for a sustainable gardening equipment package, including
hardscape sweepers, turf mower/mulchers and light-duty blower/vacuums:
a. Mulching lavrn mowers, electric or Lithium-ion battery cordless
mulching mowers pick up leaves and debris on turf, making blowing on
turf obsolete.
b. Hardscape sweeoers like the Haaga or other sweepers pick up debris
on driveways, sidewalks, flat surfaces; these tend to be durable, totrgh,
efficient and easy to use push-powered or higher-end battery-operated
c. Lieht-Dutv Electric Blowers/VaclMulchers used for shrubbery and
areas not reached by mulching mowers and hardscape sweepers; vacuum
mulchers can be easily be used to prevent particulate matter issues, or can
be used as blowers; light-duty is efficient for small areas not reached by
mower and sweeper.

Most Powerfrrl Electric Leaf Blowers
Electric leaf blowers can be jr:st as powerfr:I and effective as gas blowers, yet they are
quieter, easier to maintain, cheaper to run and more eco-friendly. Most of the pricier
elecnic leaf blowers can also vacuum and mulch leaves.
The Black & Decker BVzSoo (*Est. $SS) gets the nod in a couple of expert reviews. It is a
one-speed leaf blower that converts to a vacuum and shredder. The BVz5oo's 12-amp
motor has a maximum airspeed of zoo mph and is rated at 65 decibels. Like all Black &
Decker blower vacs, this model has an optional leaf-collection system that deposits the
mulched leaves directly into a trashcan, and it comes with a tn o-year \r'aranty. More
than r3o users contribute to an overall rating of3 out of5 stars at Amazon.com...
Total Fuel Cost {electric blower/vac and/or hardscape sweeper
(Replaces gas leaf blower)
SAVED $r8q.ro per month
For several years running, reviewers have given top ranking to the rz-amp Toro Ultra
Blower Vac ( *Est. $ZS). An infinitely-variable-speed motor helps keep the noise
down. It weighs 7.5 pounds and is rated at 67 decibels on high speed (235 mph), 63
decibels on low (rrz mph). With a rated 385 CFM average air volume, it has plenty of
power too. In addition to quiet performance, the Toro lfltra Blorver Vac's big advantage
Iies in irc metal blades for chopping up leaves as it vacuums. (We found quite a few
complaints that the plastic blades used in other leaf-blower vacs break after relatively
short usage unless you're very careful what you vacuum up.) Tests show that the Ultra
Blower Vac shreds leaves better than most. Owners say they like the Toro Ultra's
variable speed, and this leafblower can be used with a 14-gauge r5o-foot cord for long
range. The Ultra Blower Vac Qike other Toro leafblowers) carries a two-year warrant5r...
The slightly less powerfr:l 12-amp Toro S Blower Vac 2 (*Est. $60) hasjusttwo1
speeds and only goes as low as r59 mph, so it's neither as quiet as the Ultra Blower Vac,
nor as appropriate for blowing leaves around delicate plants. Like the Ultra Blower Vac,
the Toro Super Blower Vac weighs about 7.5 pounds. The Super Blower Vac does not
have metal impeller blades to chop up leaves and debris, and it doesn't mulch quite as
well as the lfltra Blower does. Despite these disadvantages, this Toro leaf blower is
recommended by several reviewers as a best buy. It gets good ratings from users on
HomeDepot.com and Amazon.com...
At 6.5 pounds, the two-speed Toro Rake and Vac srsza (*Est. $55) weighs about a
pound less than the other two Toro leaf blowers discussed above. Its 1o.s-amp motor
and lower speed range make it quieter than the Super Blower Vac, and it's better for
blowing leaves around delicate plants. Tests demonstrate that the Toro Rake and Vac
electric leaf blou'er doesn't loosen debris as well as the Toro Ultra Blower and Super
Blower, but for sweeping and vacuuming it performs equally well. At its low speed of r35
mph, the noise level is only 6g decibels (at So feet), but it rises to 66.5 decibels on high
speed (zts mph)...
The more expensive Stihl BGE 6r (*Est. $uo) has performedlvell in comparison tests
and is one ofthe quietest ofthe electric blowers. It can't be converted to a vacuum and
has only one speed, but it is lightweight -- 6.5 pounds -- and its 9.6-amp motor
generates an airspeed of r5o mph; air volume at the nozzle is rated at a powerful 394
CFM. It carries a two-year waranty. Since Stihl products are sold primarily by local,
independent dealers, we were unable to find any reviews by owners. However, Stihl
products are known for their reliability and this blower should be no exception...
Cordless and Light-Duty Blowers:
(These blowers are best used in conjunction with hardscape sweepers and mulching
mowers, meaning the brunt of the work is being done by sweepers and mulching
mowers, and the blower is for lighter clean-up.) For blowing leaves or light dirt off hard
surfaces like decks, sidewalks and driveways, either a cordless leafblower or a light-duty
corded electric blower will get the job done. Since tJrey don't require large motors or
fans, these types of leaf blowers are also the quietest types available...
If a single blower speed is enough, the 7.5-amp Weed Eater WEBr6o (*Est. $4o) weighs
just 4.5 pounds. Owners praise it at Amazon.com, though it doesn't rank particularly
well in comparison tests for light sweeping. It's rated at 69 decibels, so it's significantly
louder than the Toro Power Sweep electric leaf blower -- loud enough that it might not
meet the guidelines in communities with the strictest limits on noise...
The rS-volt Black & Decker NSrrS (*Est. $7o) is the top-rated cordless electric leaf
blower. At only 5 pounds, it's the most convenient leaf blower for small jobs. Owner-
lrritten reviews posted at Amazon.com recommend this Black & Decker model for quick
daily cleanups that take r5 minutes or less. The NSrrS's air flow, one measure of a
blower's power, is rated at rzo mph maximum (compared to almost r5o mph or higher
for more powerful blowers). Power comes from an l8-volt, rechargeable, nickel-
cadmium (Ni-Cd) battery, and a battery charger is included...
With a lightweight corded electric blower, you can save money and get more power. The
7-amp Toro Power Sweep srsSs (*Est. $4o) weighs 4.6 pounds and has two speeds.
(Experts recommend using leaf blowers on the lowest speed that will get the job done.)
With a maximum air speed of 16o mph and the ability to pump out r7o cubic feet per
minute (CFM) of air volume, this corded electric blower has more power than the Black
& Decker NSrr8 cordless blower, but it's still quiet -- the noise level at 5o feet away is
only 63.5 decibels. The Toro Power Sweep wins high praise from owners posting reviews
at Amazon.com...

Subject: Leaf Blor/er review - #1 of 6
Attachments: Leaf Blower all responses plus listing of multiple lP addresses.xls
Jim I apologize for the need to send you everything in 6 installments, \A/hen lcreate a
workbook and need to make copies of data from the main page to highlight information
contained in certain columns, it has become my habit just to hide the other columns, as
on more than one occasion, something in a few displayed cells causes me to want to
check other cells in those rows, and it is so time consuming to flip back to the main
page. Consequently, I tend to create larger workbooks. On the off-chance a recipient
might have the same tendency that I do, I simply hide columns rather than delete.
Finally, my e mail system does not allow me to attach anything larger than 25mb. \Mth
the whole Leaf Blower workbook being about 3 times the size of that limit & with all but
one page more than half the size of the limit, it was necessary to divide the book up into
6.
As you are aware from the Summary page, 883 people opened the survey with 2 not
clicking even 1 of the options for any of the questions, and that not one of the questions
was answered by all of the 881 people who clicked options. A number of respondents
failed to click one or more of the options that followed the global statements in questions
5 & 6 as well as the group in #7. Thus, when attempting to provide some analysis of
what the recorded responses revealed, I realized that I would not be able to create a
grouping of every combination of answers without putting together a large collection that
probably blur the focus of the inquiry to provide our Council with a sample of opinions of
residents as to whether or not the banning of leaf blowers would be a quality of life
improvement.
The following survey review focuses on 2 global questions [3 & 4] amplified by the
responses to questions 5 & 6. The responses to question of changing time restrictions
are almost self evident. lt seemed to me that 1 13 of the respondents, who urge the
banning of blowers, were clicking the options that would seem to them to be an
acceptable alternative should the blowers not be banned.
Finally, my thought in going through the responses is that some of the respondents in
answering the questions clicked strongly agree or disagree strongly to global questions
only to have second thoughts when answering a follow up question, With the time that
the respondents spent on the survey, it seems unlikely that many looked back to
observe any inconsistencies and make adjustments to their responses.
Survey Results
The respondents to the survey are almost evenly divided as to whether or not the
quality of life in Burlingame would improve if our City Council passed an ordinance
banning gas and electric blowers throughout the City. \Mat cannot be determined is

whether or not those whose opinions seem to fit the "Neutral/Don't Know/Don't Care" group
would be in support of banning or would oppose given more information.

Note: There are 12 responses where the survey taker selected 'Agree'to the

those respondents understood that by clicking "Ban the use of ... leaf blowers
throughout the whole city'', it was unnecessary to click responses to the
statements that followed the global statements in each of the two questions.

develop a point system for the answers to each question with the points summed up for
inclusion in one group.
What seems to be clear is that a significant number of respondents who do not oppose the
banning of blowers support banning of gas 8,/electric blowers around single &/multi-residential
areas.

blowers throughout the City, I noted the following:

Finally, in reviewing the Comments, I was intrigued by what was contained in #552. A leaf
vacuum is not something that I have seen in operation. lthoughtthat lwould share some of
what I found. First is the Black & Decker BlowerA/acuum that mulches. The details can be
found at http://www.blackanddecker.com/outdoor/BV2500.aspx There seems to be more than

the Workx Trivac that costs $90, and this is a short video on the marvelous operation of it

video of a 2 stroke gas vacuum. Although it did not sound as loud as most blowers in our
neighborhoods, I suspect it might have been the result of strategic placement of the mic.
Comments
lNote that the number appearing at the start of each of the following comments is the number assigned to the
responses in the workbook.l
Responses that support passing an ordinance BANNING
BLOWERS
. 298>l have been in support of electric leaf blowers for the convenience of cleanup, but
after moving to Burlingame a year ago, I totally understand why they should all be
banned. The closeness in proximity to your neighbors, makes it impossible to breathe or
have any outdoor event going on if there are leaf blowers being used in the area. The
debris that covers the tables, food, displays, cars, and not to mention the people, is
amazing. I do support a complete ban where the possibility of people are present.
o 640>Leaf blowers drive me nutsl!! The noise pollution and fumes are just honible!

. 229>While the survey focuses on particulate matter, the notion of buming gasoline to
move leaves (even as a labor saving device) is unconscionable. Plus, the issue for many
people is the noise... especially as we try to enjoy our yards / decks / gardens / parks.
Peace and quiet is the endangered entity... please protect.. 8'|2>Dreadfully loud and intrusive noise factor.They can put a man on the moon so why
can't they invent noiseless leaf blowers - or at least silencers to quell the noise? Stirs up
the air and all its inherent allergens.. 835>l have family members with asthma and allergies and feel leaf blowers contribute to
their symptons. ln addition, due to different gardening schedules there are days where
we hear leaf blowers all day long. I occasionally work ftom home and cannot have
windows or doors open due to the noise level.
o 317>Leaf blowers pollute the environment with noise, organic emissions, and carbon
dioxide. I suport the proposed ban on their use and am proud of the Burlingame City
Council for taking up this important issue.. 27>Please ban these things! I believe each of my neighbors has a gardener using one
nearly every day if the week. So loud. So much pollution. So unnecessary!. 286>lt's about time. Weekend days in my neighborhood (Washington Park) are often
dominated by the smell and noise of leaf blowers. I find myseff crossing the street to
avoid walking my young children through particulate clouds from blowers. Are we
REALLY so lazy a society that, not only can we not rake our own lawns, but our paid
gardeners cant even rake our lawns?. 250>l believe that activities that pollute the environment should be eliminated as much as
possible. Just because pollution is profitable or convenient does not justiff it.. 1 18>Leaf blowers are a pollutant and a noise issue. lt's unhealthy for the children living
in this community and it's sort of a hazard to the community since they are so loud. With
many gardeners and people using them at one time, sometimes you can't even hear the
person talking to you in front of your house or let alone hear a car coming around the
corner when crossing a street. lt's overall bad for our neighborhood community.. 451>Minimum: Get rid of the gas blowers that eliminates the pollution output from the
blower and creates minimum hardship to the service providers.. 322>Leaf blowers are a 20th century invention that replaced the basic broom and rake,
and allow groundskeeping to be accomplished with much lower labor costs, but at what
cost to our environment and quality of life? I can't tell you how I dread the Friday and
Saturday afternoons in my neighborhood, when the "mow, blow and go" teams show up.
The noise is awful, and the exhaust palpable. We must either return to quiet, non-
polluting hand implements, or we must find a leaf blower that is as quiet as a rake
scraping the sidewalk, and emits zero greenhouse gasses.. 825>i see gardeners blowing dust into the street or into the neighbors' yard. i walk by
them, i cover my face. most of what they could be easily accomplished with a
rake/broom. if those who own large properties want this and this work takes too long
without motorized machinery, these owners can pay for it. least harmful blowers and
limited times. lots of people are out of work. stop the WHINING!!!!!. S93>filthy, dust-blowing, dirt-scattering, allergy-increasing devices. Get rid of them. Ban
altogether.. 57>4 of my neighbor's gardeners blow all their debris over the fence into my back yard.
I'm completely tired of it. Let's return to rakes!. 831>Today we returned home to observe our neighbor's gardener blowing debris onto
our sidewalk. As we parked he aimed the flow into the front of our our car. Anyone who
observes the use of these devices knows how common this kind of thing is. Leaf blowers
just blast stuff away so one property looks good (for a moment) and the adjacent areas
81912011
Page 5 of25
look worse. lt's just another example of "not in my (front) yard" thinking.. 842>Particulate Matter: Ground-borne pathogens like pesticides, herbicides, cadmium,
mercury, animal feces, etc.....YES, this the biggest problem and it should be an issue for
the city. We have to put the health of residence as a prionty. lt should also be noted that
most of the "leaves" and other "stuff is usually blown into the street or on to someone
else s property.. 634>gardeners are paid to remove the debris from the property they are working on .But
unfortunately,90o/o of them use leaf blowers to blow everything into the City streets.That
debris eventually makes it to our water ways and pollutes our bay.. 554>l've seen gardners blow into the stree then leave the debris for teh city to clean up!
o 621>l strongly urge the city council to ban the use of all leaf blowers through out our city.
I think they cause ineparable harm to the health of our residents, especially our children
and the elderly. They also significantly increase the maintenance requirements/costs, of
our homes and especially Solar installations that get covered with airbom dirt caused by
leaf blowers. I have deferred adding Solar to my home because it would require monthly
cleaning, which is very costly. I believe that our city should push forward with initiatives
that make Burlingame one of the best cities in the Bay Area. We should follow Palo Alto's
lead and ban leaf blowers from our great city ASAP.. 266>lt appears that leaf blowing is also a pastime for workers, some undocumented, to
simply blow the leaves from one place to another and then back again...l see it all the
time!. 234>Just the other day a gardener actually pointed the blower at me in the Wells Fargo
Parking lot. My car was filthy after just 5 minutes in the bank, thanks to the blowing of
particles around the bushes in the parking lot. Blowers do not clean, they only move the
dirt around. \A/ho do we call to enforce the hours? Gardeners in my neighborhood start at
8AM.. 401>Complete ban. Leaving leafs is good ecology, Have gardeners spend same amount
of time raking as they do blowing and leave the rest.. 480>lf we truly want to take a stand as a city on meaningful green initiatives, banning
leaf-blowers is a no-brainer. Other cities accross the nation are moving in this direction
and many have bans that have been effective for years. As far use of leaf-blowers during
restricted hours - the restrictions are completely ignored. Leaf-blowers can be heard as
early as 7pm until nightfall. Please lead the way in improving quality of life in our beautiful
city by banning leaf blowers. I will even spring for the replacement rakes!
o 552>The stated need for using the leaf blowers can be met by implementing other
solutions that are better for the environment, the gardeners and the residents of
Burlingame. Gardeners do not necessarily need to switch to rake and broom if they are
not physically able to do so. By installing plants (Bay Area natives) that can tolerate, or
thrive on leaves (aka mulch), and/or by using a leaf vacuum/mulcher, gardens, driveways
and sidewalks can be cleared just as fast without the air quality issues found with gas
blowers. A handheld Black and Decker vacuum/mulcher costs $60 at Ace Hardware. I
am surprised that gardening companies would WANT to continue with $4/gallon gas-
powered anything when they could plug into the homeowners' electrical service and let
the client foot the energy bill.. 486>lt's ok to let leaves etc. mulch. Leaf blowing creates costs with water run off,
unhealthy plants .... 496>Some leaf litter collected by blowers would be best left in place as mulch for trees
and shrubs. Leaf litter on paved areas can be collected with rakes and brooms and used
as mulch instead of being taken away, thereby starving our gardens of much-needed
organic matter. Leaf blowers mix non-compostable lifter (trash) with compostable organic
8191201t
Page 6 of25
matter (a resource). The benefrts of clean pavement do not outweigh increased noise,
polllution, and solid waste generation. The gardening industry will adapt and thrive.. 174>Go green! Gardeners and landscapers should and could make do with manual labor
and rakes. lt's more work for them, but the environment belongs to ALL of us.. 31 'l >Leaf blowers, whether gas or electric, should be banned. Having a yard that looks
like Disneyland should not be at the expense of people's health. Thank you-
. 722>They are very annoying in the city and end up blowing dirt, dust and garbage into
others yards...and houses! Those with allergies and asthma suffer unneeessarily...my
special needs son and I included. I have to close all my windows every Wednesday and
Friday as those are days my neighbo/s gardeners use the blowers. Please ban them, at
least in residential areas! We can all pick up leaves the old-fashion wayl!!!. 162>l think this issue is complex, and am concerned that the gardeners will ultimately
suffer the most with a change. However, blowers are a health and environmental
nuisance and i agree with all the reasons to ban them.
o 875>Ban them all together. The noise pollution and heafth issues are a strong enough
reason to ban them. lf Palo alto, Meno Park and Atherton found a way to ban them a
long time ago. Then so can we, Thank you for your concideration.. 876>Leaf blowers are over-loud energy-wasting machines that adversely impact the user
and non-user alike, analogous to secondhand smoking. There are effective alternatives:
brooms and rakes; they work amazingly well and actually result in debris being picked up
and not just blown into the air and adjoining yards. If their use leads to an increase in
landscaping fees that is the market reaching a fair price for an improved benefit, and is
the correct solution given that those adversely impacted by leaf blowers are not currently
being compensated for the harm and annoyance they Gluse.. 505>leaf blowers aggravate my asthma. 637>Other cities have banned leaf blowers and are not suffering from doing so. I cannot
even go for a walk without smelling and hearing the pollution from the blowers. At an
elementary school, I asked to city blower to please wait to blow the tennis court until the
parents were gone. He said he had to finish before the children cam out to plan. The
fumes were horrible, dust and particles in the air and the children were going out to play
under these conditions. Not very health. Then I watched him blow three leaves and the
other parents urged me to talk to him. He agreed to pick the last three leaves up by hand,
rather than blowing an excessive amount of time more. I think the leaves could have
been easily swept to the sides and picked up with a dustpan or vacuum type machine.
Let Burlingame be a leader in taking care of our Biosphere. lf we choose to not take care
of our Biosphere, it will affect everyone and everything and nothing else will matter. We
will be digging our own graves.. 472>Considering the level of income of most Burlingame residents, they may have to bite
the bullet and pay higher gardening fees. As for the gardners, banning these things can
only be good in terms of their health.
o 8O2>Limiting blower use to midweek from 9am-4pm allows those
walking/riding/commuting in the morning to breath fresh air, allows the dust to settle for
weekends, and gives people a known timeframe to avoid blowers if needed. The dust
from leaf blowers means I can't walk or ride a bicycle on most days without risking
headaches, sinus infections and bronchitis.r 864>l'm currently a homeowner in between two homes that have gardeners using leaf
blowers every Tuesday morning. lt looks like a tornado as they blow all the neighbors
dirt, dog droppings and debris under our fence and into our home - frustrating and
allergic! As we consider ourselves good neighbors with faults of our own, we would never
complain to our neighbors but it is unhealthy for all involved and noisy.
81912011
PageT of25
8/9t20t1
r 871>ALL leaf blowers, gas and electric, should be banned in Burlingame, for all the
reasons indicated. They are unnecessary, a health hazard, and decrease the quality of
life in our community.. 614>l think the leaf blowers have become both a health hazard and a nuisance. Every
time a neighbough has their garden blown it causes allergies that I would not normally
get. The debris is also blown into our house making it dusty and dirty. I am a keen walker
and take my dogs out to all the parks and bayside walks, even here the leaf blowing has
become ridiculous. VVhilst the Park and Rec do a great service to our city and appearto
work extremely hard they make such a mess at Bayside park when they use the leaf
blowers. I often have to tum around because the dust and debris is unhealthy. Everyday
someone has a leaf blower in our block alone, they spoil the peace and quiet of our little,
they are unhealthy and more importantly unnecessary. I truly believe that people would
pay an extra $10 to have their yard swept rather than blown. Cheers.. 879>lt is VERY common for gardeners to start their leaf blowers as early as 7:00. No one
appears to be enforcing the present leaf blowing hours. Many gardeners have no respect
for your car and blow right into it. lt is not uncommon for gardeners to walk backwards
onto the street without looking into traffic. They usually have iPods or ear muffs on which
means they cannot hear warnings. The quality of life in Burlingame has decreased
because of the health hazards, noise, and other annoyances created by leaf blowers.
Let's keep Burlingame classy. Let's keep its workers and citizens healthy. Let's retain a
high quality of life here as this is what will keep our real estate valuations high. Ban leaf
blowers!. 708>Nobody follows the cunent hours. They start early in the morning, go late and on
Sunday. \Mro is enforcing this? Who will enforce if we ban them? \Nhat happened to
rakes?. 735>The gardners in my area do not follow your guidelines anryay. I hear leaf blowers
early on Saturdays and they've been waking me up for years. There is no one monitoring
the current rules.. 144>l think many blowers are to noisy I think it should be illegal to blow excess onto the
streets Should be raked and picked up with a broom
o 418>l've lived in towns where leaf blowers were banned and it was so refreshing. We
cunently have leaf blowers in our neighborhood going non-stop it seems, and it would be
nice to discontinue the noise pollution so we c€ln hear the birds, etc.. 469>Leaf blowers are incredibly loud despite what the noise ordinance may/may not
state. lf the trade-off is more leaves on the lawns for longer periods, I am willing to put up
with that. I don't see any great benefit to allowing leaf blowers other than employing lawn
workers for a few extra house.. 666>Please ban all use ofall electric and gas leaf blowers. They are too noisy. Create
more stress on the environment.. 65>Noise polution!!
o 218>lm sick as tired of getting woken up from leaf blowers at 8 in the morning, or having
a nice day disturbed by them-. 27Z>Dayllime restrictions are obviously IRRELEVANT (ineffective) in our neighborhood. I
did not know the restrictions even existed as they are NEVER obeyed. Reshictions do
not work. The noise should stop, and the environmental impact should be recognizedl
We deal with enough external noise from the airport, train and freeways (noise which has
been shown to be detrimental to kids' development). The leaf blowers are just too much
noise on top of everything else. We want them banned.. 84O>Gardners do not follow existing rules. They operate 2417 . Many of the leaf blowers
are more than 60 decibels. I have a decibel meter. Ban All leaf blowers
Page 8 of25
. 873>Gardeners do not follow the existing rules. Neither do contractors. The noise is
unbearable- And then add in the new Jets at the airport. This is not a nice place to live
any more and I've lived here for 50 yearsllll!. 1 1 1>l've long thought neighbors should get together to contract with a single crew so the
'hood is affected one time per week. I work a lot at home and it seems like there's a
different super-noisy crew every single day. The leaf blowers are the worst part of the
operations by far. I'm also a proponent of natural gardening - people's lawns and flower
beds would benefrt from leaf litter and grass mulch instead of blowing them clean every
week, which dries out the soil faster and necessitates more fertilizer.. 816>One leaf blower is not a problem now and then. However, virtually every time I want
to sit out in my yard, in a residential neighborhood that I would expect to be relatively
quiet, there is at least one leaf blower working, and often more than one. lt is not
uncommon for multiple gardeners to be working around the neighborhood such that there
is continual noise for most of the day. Often the noise is so loud that we cannot carry on
a normal conversation in our yard. Gardening noise cumulates with other noise from
construction, which is also virtually continuous in my neighborhood. Trucks with back-up
beepers, construction power tools, even the lunch truck, create a continuous din. I
recognize that the gardeners need to be efficient in order to be cost competitive. As one
who uses a rake and broom in the yard, I really question the claim the this equipment
increases cleanup time by 60%. However, if blowers must be used, a switch to electric
blowers and a requirement for use of mufflers would certainly impr. 32>Please ban ALL leaf blowers. The current hours are NOT obeyed and are NOT
enforced.. 467>Please ban them all together like other towns (Atherton). They are so disruptive,
and no one follows the restricted hours. How can it be enforced when there are dozens
of them being used at the same time?. 446>l find it frustrating all this noise and extra debris scattered about by the blowers. I
live in a complex and I think it is in the center of a war zone rather than a residential area
with all the different times and days of the week I hear the blowers going. The City road
and construction work is disruptive enough, please stop the blowers. \Nhen blowers are
going I can not make a phone call, can not open widows due to allergies, and have to
vacuum more frequent due to all the dirt they kick up and send into the building. Not to
mention how dirty it makes all the vehicles. What is the point of a clean window and car if
the blower is going four times a week to mess it all up? I wonder how the elderly in the
neighborhood cope? ls their hearing so bad they can not tell with years of all this noise?
Residents should be issued hearing protection with every rental agreement!. 197>l see so much dusUdirt on parked cars that I don't recall before blowers became
popular. Too much particulate matter is stirred up by the blowers. And for people who
work out of their home offices, the noise is distracting.. Z?1>raking generates less noise and airborne matter/dust.. 5't9>They are horrible for the environment! They upset not only humans but also the
animals (dogs, cats, birds, etc.). lwork two jobs and am awakened early on Saturday
morning and Sunday by the noise. Atso both properties on either side employ leaf blower
companies and ALL the "waste" ends up on MY lawn and MY driveway. We have a
waste and an obesity problem. Rake up the debris (good exercise) and RECYCLE it
(good ecology). BAN all blowers like other cities in the Bay Area! Just Do it!!l
o SM>LEAF BLOWERS ARE ANNOYING BECAUSE OF NOISE. ALSO THEY BLOW
YOUR LEAVES INTO YOUR NEIGHBORS AREA. IT DEFEATS THE PURPOSE OF
KEEPING YOUR YARD TIDY AT THE EXPENSE OF BLOWNG YOUR LEAVES INTO
SOMEONE ELSES PROPERTY? IT SHOULD BE DONE THE OLD WAY, RAKE AND
8t9/201t
Page 9 of25
BAG AND DISPOSEI. 594>We got along just fine before these noise-makers existed. More calm and less
obesity. Sometimes, I see city workers just blowing leaves off of the sidewalk, and then
10 minutes later, many have blown back up. \Mtat a waste!
e 212>Hours limits are so abused, weekday or weekend. Those of us who work irregular
hours are constantly woken up bynkeaf blowers on weekends at all hours, and during
weekedays n the evenings. And before 9:00.am. Get rid of them!!! Hetnout an use a rake
and get healthy!. 374>Burlingame is a noisy city (airport, freeways, train) - anything we c€ln do to reduce
noise should be done.. 108>How did anything ever get done way back without all thoise machines??? Too much
noise all over the place, leaf blowers, higher train hom, Hard to imagine high speed rail
too. Have you ever stood near it in Europe as it goes by.??? lf we can remove one noise
maker great,NO more leaf blowers!!!. 490>Gas emissions and dust blow into my home when the neighbors' gardeners use the
high powered gas blowers. The blowers are far too loud, they sound like jet engines. lf I
played music outside that loud, the police would show up instantly.
o 529>\Mry can't a leaf blower be as quiet as an SUV? Autos go by my home all the time
without disturbing me at all. Leaf blowers have jolted me out of bed from two doors down
on a Saturday morning. Perhaps you could limit use of leaf blowers to ones that operate
with sound levels no greater that that of a new luxury car.
o 626>Do not like Leaf Blowers. Think they are horrible noise pollution, one of the worst
modern inconveniences second only to car alarms.
o 424>lt should be based on how many decibles the leaf blowers put out; surely
companies can develop a quieter and yet effective leaf blower that isn't a health hazard.. 47>So tired of the noise in myneighborhood- the construction and yard workers it is
crazylllll. 364>The blowers spread dirt, dust, and noise. Not a day goes by that some gardener in a
neighboring house is not blowing and mowing, Leaves belong in the understory of yards-
-makes the best mulch. I would happily pay my gardener more to remove garden residue
with a rake; would be happy to rake it myself. Let's "compost" in our yards, as well as our
green bins.. 592>Even those of us that donffi t suffer from severe allergic reactions should be
exempt from the dust and noise created ftom leaf blowers. Our homes are our castles, a
sanctuary where we spend the greater part of our lives and the place where we should
expect the necessary protection to safely relax and be comfortable. lf rake and broom is
necessary to improve our environment then the city should support the change to ban
leaf blowers and our good neighbors should have no problem with the additional
expense.. 380>THE NOISE AND DUST lS UNBEARABLE. GET RID OF THEM ALL. I DONT
CARE IF THE GARDENERS OBJECT

and then gets tracked into our house is alarming. The dust gets blown around between
yards - it's absurd to think that the dust is being removed, as if by magic, when in reality
we are literally just blowing it around. Nobody pretends we are sucking up or collecting
this dust, do they? lt's a "blower." My daughter has asthma and doctors have urged us to
take great efforts to control dust and irritants in the house - perhaps this is in vain,
considering the man-made dust storm outside her window. The noise is deafening on my
street: with our small Burlingame lots and everyone hiring gardeners (including myself), it
seems there is always that blaring sound somewhere. I'm confident that these conditions
8t912011

are harshest on gardening employees. Thank you for taking up this important issue and
receiving my feedback.. 579>Get rid of them all. They are intrusive and disturb everyone's right to peace and
quiet no matter where they are in the city.
o 732>Those homeowners that can afford to pay for a gardener of any type can probably
afiord to pay more for the time it takes to rake instead of blow.. 249>most yards in burlingame can easily be raked up. the leaf blowers are a constant
nuisance. 795>Use of leaf blower also uses gas or electric energy. lt is better to rake leaves to
save energy.. 246>The Banning of leaf blowers should be enforced throughout San Mateo County.
How was leaf collection accomplished in days gone by?! With a RAKE, and a liftle bit of
"physical" energy; not energy of gas, propane or electricity. The only noise discomfort
level then, was a little bit "grunting" exertion. Better for the body, and better for the
environment!!! Just Saying!!!
o 64>The process of sweeping and collecting is possible and alot more environmentally
friendly in providing more exercise and cutting out noise and chemical pollution as well
as the conservation of electrical energy. 154>First of all, it's LEAF blowers, not LEAVE blowers. Credibility suffers with an error
like this. Second, they are an instrument of torture as far as l'm concerned. My message
to the people: Get off your butts and pick up a rake or a broom once in a while, and
maybe we won't be the fattest nation on the planet.. 422>Somewhere along the way society decided that only the leafless yard or garden was
a beautiful one. Raking and sweeping can be done efiiciently, is quiet, and provides
health benefits for the gardener also. Burlingame will still be beautiful with the occasional
Ieaf in the landscaping. At a minimum, these blowers should be banned from schoolyards
and parks, where those who are most vulnerable play.. 629>l use a rake and broom; it provides exercise, it does not take very long to do our
typical Burlingame yard, and does not pollute. Raking does NOT harm small plants as
suggested by opponents. ln fact, raking improves the grass and leaving some plant
matter among plants provides a moisture-retaining soil cover, reducing water needs.
Cities such as Santa Monica, CA, have successfully implemented leaf blower bans,
improving lheir communities and the environment. PLEASE BAN ALL LEAF BLOWERS!. 255>We have our lawn care team use hand tools to take care of our home's landscaping.
They were slightly resistant to it initially, but now they like doing our place better than the
others.l'm sure the workers are bothered by the noise, heavy equipment, exhaust, and
maintenance/cost of the equipment. We enjoy the peace and the garden seems to
respond better to the new treatment.. 39>GAS OR ELECTRIC...THEY ARE A MENACE. THE ANSWER IS TO DEVELOP A
QUIET BUT EFFICIENT ALTERNATIVE TO RAKE AND GOOD OLD-FASHIONED
BROOM TO MAINTAIN TIME EFFICIENCY FOR GARDENERS.. 45>l don't like leaf blowers, but in some cases, may be ok......why not just rake the
leaves?? I do.. S5>These machines create too much noise and just blow debris around. AT least make
them use vacuum's instead of blowers. But not mentioned above is the severe impact
that these noisy blowers have on people working out of their homes/apartments. This
should be taken into consideration also-. 609>You have produced a survey for people to voice their opinion without much
supporting information to educate them so they can make an informed choice. I am
annoyed by the dirt, dust and noise that leaf blowers create and would love to see them
819120t1
Page 11 of25
disappear, but they are a useful piece of equipment. Here is an article on new leaf
blowers that have come out in recent years that reduce the noise and dirt. lf these are
just as effective, I would rather see a ban on the noisy ones and only allow those that
comply.. 577>hate the noise!!l!. 828>see how it is in palo alto /menlo park. 765>l am happy to know Burlingame is considering the ban for all the reasons that have
been outlined that I agree and support. Thank you. 648>BAN THEM-START SWEEPING. 92>would love to have leaf blowers banned entirely.. 782>Noise is a constant issue, we can hear blowers all day long and every day. And
there is not / and will not be for a long time, not enough staff now and there won't be for a
long time to enforce the noise level. Fall Leaves: Recommendation: post no parking on
the streets for neighborhoods when the street cleaner drives by. The street cleaner
should be removing the leaves in the street. Street cleaners are now a waste of
taxpayers dollars and ineffective because they drive down the middle of the street
because of the parked cars.. 69>No leaf blowers of any kind at any time.
52>feel very strongly that they should be banned aftogether.
55>l am willing to write my comments for submission to the council on this issue.
81>Noise not a problem. lt's the pollution that is unacceptable.
24>Clarification to answer to question 7 - please reduce the hours that one is allowed to
se leaf blowers to zero (0) hours per day
76>the use of these in confined /enclosed areas such as condo/apt units is ridiculous at
nytime
S3>Besides everything stated above, l'm tired of gardners blowing everything to the
ouse next to the house they serve.
7O>Dump them all.
41>Ban leaf blowers please
83>Get rid of them.
27>They should be banned completely.
75>Leaf blowers should be banned all together, as other cities have done years ago!
77>Please ban the use at any hour ofany day of all powered leaf blowers.. 288>l am SO glad you are considering a ban on these things!r 338>Ban Them!!!. 368>Agree to the highest degree possible that all leaf blowers (gas and electric) be
banned at all times. Leaves are swept by street sweeper and c€tn be raked and
discarded. Where we reside we have blowers everyday of the week, just this morning the
operator blew leaves into the street!. 475>Please ban all leaf blowes24nl365.. 538>Stop the madness and ban the blowerl!!! And while you are at it, Ban the plastic
BAG!!!. 638>Thank you so much for addressing this pressing issue. 769>l don't believe in expanding govt. regulations, but the noise and pollution from leaf
blowers is too much. The'-flndings" of yard crews that switching to rakes/brooms adds
60% work time is obviously an exaggeration. ln fact, blowers often take more time, not
less.
o 818>l can't wait for leaf blowers to be banned!
o 843>A different device needs to be considered (or invented)! Life in the easton addition
has been quite challenging in the past 15 years due to many factors, not a small one

being the increasing use of leaf blowers.. 852>The reasons to ban leaf blowers are clear. Any one of the reasons should be
enough to justifo a ban. This is a quality of life issue, not a political issue. We as
residents of Burlingame have a right to pursue a better quality of life without leaf blowers.. 862>ban them
o 195>l would like to see all landscape workers register with the city. lt seems like they're
new workers each week.. 628>Go Burlingame - being proactive to protect our air. The food/compost change was a
good start, now I'm starting to feel like I truely live in a green city.. 667>l have had to constantly police our neighborhood due to garderners starting before 9
am. They do not speak English and trying to show them the ordinance is useless. ljust
have to keep yelling at them to stop, especially in the summer when families are home
enjoying the early moming quielness.. 489>Leaf blowers are a nuisance in every aspect. They should be banned until
technology meets the needs of its population - especially the noise pollution. The only
people who want them are those who are employed using them. I wish Millbrae would do
the same thing. Burlingame has a good idea to eliminate them.. 42>Reducing the number of hours blowers could be used would result in more
concentrated use of blowers in those given times, making for some very noisy, highly
polluted periods of the day when it would be unpleasant to be in Burlingame.
o 48>Awesome that Burlingame is acting on this. Los Altos banned leaf blowers more than
20 years ago and they have all survived. A ban is really easy to enforce, but the time-of-
day restriction is pretty tough. My next-door neighbor's lawn crew has been coming for
the past 8 years @ 7:15 a.m. every single Thursday morning. We have called the city
and complained, but nothing has changed. I am tired of the noise when we still have
people trying to sleep. My guess is that the lawn crews wouldn't do that at 7:15 a.m. in
their own neighborhoods. But l'm also tired of the crew that comes to the neighborhood
on Thursday simply blowing around the leaves and grass that the crew that came to
neighborhood on Tuesday blew around, which the Monday crew blew around when they
were here. Seems ridiculous.. 618>Any legal hours are very problematic. The offender will say he was not aware of the
time or admit that he used the leaf blower but that he did so during the legal time. Time
limits are in effect but I still hear the blowers in use during illegal times. Just ban them
completely.. 128>Question 7 is misleading. 16>Ban all blowers and use vacuums. 443>l would like no power tools noise before 9:00 am and none on Sunday.
o 791>high density living areas with multiple residents and a confined area using these
machines is a crime. 624>No weekend use at all of any blower of any kind. 466>l find the arguments that they don't affect workers' health to be disingenuous. Many
of the workers are transient and the effects on them have not been calculated. I also find
the concerns about low-income residents disingenuous. I dont think Burlingame cares
about low-income residents.. 712>lhankyou for allowing input
o 373>Thank you for giving me a voice in the decision making.. 268>question 7 makes no sense.it just asks the same question different waysand it is
superfluous after quests 1-6.-very bad questionnaire design,. 190>lf some thing like this was put into play it would be nice if everyone in Buringame got
notice by letter maybe. Cause some times its the maintenance people and they act like

Page 13 of25
they don't know...
o 106>Restrict use to only areas where racking would damage plants and NOT in the
street blowing stuff every where.. 31S>How about enforcing the cunent ban? Had no idea there was an ordinance on this
and I KNOW the gardeners dont know, don't care, or both. S80>Strict fines for violations. 728>the response to #7 is ONLY for the case of continued use of leafblowers. lf they are
approved, only electric blowers should be allowed. strongly agree with heafth dangers of
airborne particulates.
. 428>l strongly agree with the elimination of the gas blowers. I am not familiar with the
electric version and cannot comment.. 817>Ban gasoline powered leaf blowers.r 178>Electric only during restricted hours by neighborhood.
c 292>My response to number 7 relates to electric only. I support a total ban on gas
powered machines.
o 866>Compelling arguments on each side of the argument. Thank you for organizing
information for both sides into a survey. I believe there is a duplicate entry in Statement
#6.
o 254>Ban All gas leaf blowers 247. Electric leaf blowers would be allowed Mon - Sat 9 - 5
&Sun12-4.. 701>The issue with EPA requirements is that many gardners may not have upgraded
their equipment to newer models. Gardners and homeowners, need a transitional
alternative tool (such as electric leafblowers) for areas where rakes may not work
(hillsides, mulched garden beds, wet leaves on pavement, etc).. 248>There is a big difference between the homeowner use and commercial use and that
should be addressed. Restrictions should be geared toward the commercial companies
and leave the homeowners alone. That means that you can restrict leaf blowers to
electric which I think you will find is mostly what homeowners have!!l!!!!!!. 581>Thanks you for conducting this survey; this makes the city of Burlingame feel more
involved in important matters such as this. As for the leaf blowers, I am opposed to the
use of gasoline leaf blowers because of the immense pollution they create; however, I
think we should be more liberal in the use of electric leaf blowers, because they help
keep people's yards clean, which sends an important message of city uniformity to
visitors. Also, it keeps leaves from being blown into innocent pedestrians on blustery
days, a feat that has happened to me many a time on a stroll down the sidewalk. Thank
you again, and I hope you take all this information into consideration,. 517>Assuming that gas powered blowers would not be allowed - with only electrically
powered being allowed, any further restrictions would seem to be inappropriate.. 793>4 compromise measure would be to limit the use at each residenceflocation to 10
minutes/week; thus requiring selective and necessary use ONLY.. 251>Ban all leaf blowers on Sundays and Holidays. 366>No Sundays and later start on Saturdays end earlier on Saturdays. Later start
during the week. 548>Part of the problem is that the current laws aren't enforced. Come by my house at
726 Paloma next Saturday morning at 8:00 am and I can promise you that at least two
819120t1
Responses that indicate support of BANNING but with limitations:
Page 14 of25
leaf blowers will be operating. I guarantee it.. 362>ln my neighborhood gardeners always use blowers before 9 AM which wakes be up
as I'm retired. As a 30 years plus resident of Burlingame and as life gets louder and
louder, I would support an enforceable decibel limit of all machinery noises including
trains.. 545>We have complained numerous times that some of the landscape companies don't
obey the ordinance '10.40.038. The city of Burlingame does not enforce the ordinance
and therefore the gas leaf blowers continues to operate early in the morning. There
should be sever fine for those landscape companies that ignore the ordinance.. 'l 1 0>l have never seen Iet alone heard an electric leaf blower. If they ARE indeed MUCH
quitter to where they are not in any way at an obnoxious level then let them be used. Gas
leaf blowers should be completely banned for health and noise reasons. And do not
except any of that "it's never been prove" bologna. Make every victim of these things
happy. BAN THEMII!!!!!l. 673>An opportunity for Burlingame to take a leadership role in a prime quality of life
issue...one of the largest such issues for our City.. 858>anything short of a ban is not very enforcable. \A/here is the proof that a ban would
increase rent. I assert a ban will not result in increased rent it will result in slightly more
yard debris in a yard after a cleaning.
o 789>lt is a tough one. I hate to see people losing jobs over it, but something has to be
done. Gas blowers really hurt air quality and they are so loud they sound like jet engines.
I just wish they could be less noisy and annoying.. 836>My principal objection to leaf blowers is the intolerable noise, which I think needs to
be dealt with. I am also aware of the concerns gardeners may have and the impact on
their income. Although my primary concern is the noise, I am also concerned about the
air pollution effects. So I would like more information about whether electric blowers are
quieter and also whether gas-powered blowers can be retrofitted with mufflers and air
pollution control devices.. 783>Recently retired, I have noticed how annoying most of these gas powered blowers
come to be. Certainly, enforce the latest models with reduced noise level stats if banning
is not an option. Violators should be given stiff fines!. 660>Enforcement of the current regulation is not happening. I often hear leaf blowers
priorto gAM.
. 832>1500 Block of Vancouver, Burlingame, the noise level of blowers are extremely
loud; phone conversation and radio and TV is impossible in spite of closing doors and
windows. Gardeners arrive different days of the week.. 834>Leaf blowers are lame. get a broom. 788>lt is the noise that bothers me the most and the fact that lots of times the gardeners
just blow the stuff out on the street or to the street near the neighbor's house.. 347>We have mower/blower noise almost every day of the week which means there isn't
a morning when we can take a cup of coffee on the patio. I strongly recommend dividing
the city into districts and allotting those districts one or two days a week, I think
gardeners will quickly readjust their schedules to comply with the districts and property
owners will enforce. Thanks you for the survey.. 335>Gas leaf blowers should be banned. I am not well informed about electric leaf
blowers, but they may serve as a compromise. The noise is not as objectionable as the
air pollution. 809>Between leaf blowers, lawn mowers, and edgers everyday, all day, there is no
peace.. 405>Residential owners should have more privileges than hired wokers. Ban gas,

electric is fine. But if you ban blowers for eco reasons shouldnt you ban trimmers too?
They are not run as long, but equally pollutant. -Barry Meinerth. 645>ls this an issue that is being disccussed in city council meetings?. 207>Okay on M-F 10-4 since most children are in school and many parenb are at work.
Weekends/holidays children and parents are home so no leaf blowers. 573>\Mrile I believe that leaf blowers are a necessary evil, I think the hazards can be
mitigated with a different technology. Burlingame should mandate that past a certain
date; all leaf blowers must be electric.
o 199>At least give us back a nice quiet Sunday and ban all leaf blowers at any type of
complex. (residential or commercial.. S9>Burlingame should mandate the switch to electric leaf-blowers.. 498>Loudness units should be strictly enforced. 372>Noise is the #1 issue. How can I measure the noise level conveniently so that I can
personally enforce the noise level restriction?. 625>We so look forward to the day when we dont have to close all of our windows and
doors to protect us from the honible gas blowers!. 170>Gas systems are noisy & smells are Bad!. 796>The noise is the worst, especially since our guy comes on Tuesday, and other
gardener's nearby come on WecUThursday/Saturday. This neighborhood literally blows. I
am more concerned now after reading that the blowers kick up a lot of dirty matter.. 807>The noise pollution is very annoying when it is on a daily basis. A few days a week
is preferable. Thank you for conducting this survey!. 53>Leaf blowers are hazardous, noisy and should be banned in all residential areas. You
should have a city wide vote by mail, since many of us €n't get to the hearings. Thank
you.. 665>lnclude ordinance information regarding low/acceptible leaf blower decibel (65 dba)

weekends everyone is certainly awake by '12 noon! Keep the current hours!. 13>l believe present regulations are fine...keep government out of this..... 502>Leaf the laws alone!. 343>Enough Government Regulation! lt would be a hradship for me to have to manually

same) and let people look out for their own health (wear a mask!). 650>The current law needs to be enforced.
o 264>lt seems that some leaf blowers continue to be louder and more obnoxious than
others. Reinforce the restrictions that are already in the code. 826>Enforcement seems to be the issue. The rules themselves are ok. Promote the
quietest blower technologies.. 432>Mute point, I find law is not enforced at this time.. 3O5>Better enforce the current restrictions on leaf blowers.
o 455>lt's not a matter of changing the law. The problem lies in enforcement of the. Law.
My neighbor's gardener has been using the leaf blower at 7:30 am every week for years.. 321>Our residence is primarily concemed with leaf blowing that takes place early in the
morning and during dinner/bed time for our children. The current time restrictions are

The comments of those opposing the banning of blowers:
Page 16 of25
absolutely *not* enforced in our neighborhood and the biggest fonivard progress would be
enforcement of the current restrictions before changing the restrictions. lf those new
restrictions are going to be equally unenfor@d then there's no point in having this
discussion.. 439>The proponents' arguments are alarmist and obviously overstated. Based on my
personal observations, the ordinance as it presently stands is not consistently enforced,
so perhaps the City should focus on enforcing the ordinance instead of changing it.. S30>lnform people. Dont add more laws / regulations / restrictions.. 797>Banning will just cause more problems than it solves. Whafs next - power mowers?
Prices will go up for those who hire out; residents who do their own w/power equipment
will now have arguments with neighbors and be subject to fines, etc.,. Consider adjusting
times for leafblowers & lawnmowers to be equal. Leafblowers cunently start at gam, but
it's ok to use gas lawnmowers at 8a? Doesn't make sense. Leave things the way they
are. We don't need more rules, just enforce the rules already on the books.. 582>There are noises all the time and the leaf blowers are a minimal distraction.
Remember, any increase in rules/laws presents "enforcemenf issues that are
problematic - are you going to have the police become the "leaf blowe/' police also?. 417>Restrict decibel level for leaf blowers and enforce the noise level. Controlling the
pollution and noise will be much more effective than banning them. 323>What a waste of taxpayer time. \Mro would enforce lhese restrictions? Our PD, who
is already slretched thin? l'm annoyed this is even being considered and will make sure
to vote against anyone who votes to further restrict leaf blowers,. 287>l hear leaf blowers before 9am, enforce that. Also no leaf blowing on Saturdays.. 562>The current time restrictions are not enforced as it is. I hear them many mornings
before I AM.. 569>The focus on leafulowers is misguided. They are a necessary tool for those of us
who own property, especially with large lots. \Mat is next, lawn mowers, hedge trimmers,
and any other gas powered device? Just limit the weekend hours so as not to be a
nuisance for those of us with small kids or who desire to actually sleep in once in a while.. 244>Four hours is too long. The blowers can be efficient. lf one is to use them, then if
anything requirements should be put into place so the the " mow and blo#' guys should
pick up what they are now leaving behind.. 67>l think the concerns are really overblown, but I also don't think leaf blowers are very
effective either. I'd like to see more limited hours and an attempt at voluntary
relinquishing by those who use them.. 1O4>They're annoying but necessary to keep the town tidy. lwould agree on banning
them on weekends when many folks are home though.. 137>l hate leaf blowers, but I don't support a reduction in hours. lf the hours are too few,
those few hours will be intolerable with dust and noise.. 409>Please contact us to articulate the proposal above Burlingame CEC. 353>Leave it like it is. Raking injures plants and lawns. I've had enough of theses namby
pamby tree huggers.. 8'14>Leaf Blowers first - what about lawn mowers, are we going to ban those too? Don't
they pollute and are noisy? Can we ban dogs as they defecate on my lawn - I know there
are laws already on the books, but some owners are inconsiderate. Can we also ban air
conditioners too? Some people leave them on all day during the hot days and they make
all kinds of noise. There are Harley Davidson motorcycles in my neighborhood too - they
are really loud when they go up and down the street - can we ban those too?. 877><<lnappropiate term used to express opposfibn>>. 867>Excellent survey- really provided a lot of info. to be able to make a educated

just want to fight and throw temper-tantrums.. 758>significant cost increase. most gardeners i see are wearing masks. when we are

It would be impossible to rack or broom my property.. 693>l have no problem if gas or electric leaf blowers are use, I do feel that electric leaf
blowers would be a better environmental choice for gardeners and the community and
would entertain incentives to encourage the use of electrical rather than gas powered
leaf blowers. I no way do I think there should be a ban on the use of either type of leaf
blower.. 697>lf any restrictions are put on leaf blowers it should reflect the need to transition to
the quietest gas blowers possible by a certain date.
o 743>NIMBY!!!!. 749>l find this hard to believe that it is a serious issue in Burlingame! When was the last
time the police were called because of this issue in Burlingame?. 750>ln addition to everything already mentioned, I must stress that leaf blowers often do
a BETTER job than a rake and broom, and they work faster. If they were banned, either
"mow and blow" gardeners will be breaking the law, or they will need to double their costs
of maintenance to allow for more time required.. 751>Just like a straight pipe Harley Davidson motorcycle rumbling the neighborhood,
noisy and poorly maintained leaf blowers can be a significant annoyance. I would
mandate the use of newer models or specific models that are quieter and cleaner.
There's nothing that I'm aware of that will allow us to test leaf blowers like a smog check
for cars, so mandating newer, approved or specific models of leaf blowers may be the
preferred route. I would like to see a pragmatic approach to resolving this issue versus an
outright ban of leaf blowers in Budingame.. 801>l hear more jet engine and turbine noise coming from SFO, I'm sure that exhaust is

example!
o 846>l can appreciate the issues on both sides. I wonder if proponents of the ban really
care about worker health. The concerns about gas blower emissions would seem to
apply to gas mowers as well.. 23>Thank you for sending the survey, I appreciate the opporunity to provide input.. 342>Thanks for the opportunity to opine-. 617>The proposal to ban leaf blowers is absurd.ls the city going to pay the increased
cost to homeowners? I do not think so.
o 1S5>banning leaf blowers will cost more for gardening service. senior citizens will end up
paying more. it will effect fixed income families. gardeners help out cleaning city side
walk gutters. gardeners help prevent flooding by cleaing leaf and garbage from strom
drain areas. banning leaf blowers will also hurt small businesses like gardeners. most
gardeners are family businesses.. 596>l'm afraid that if we ban Ieaf blowers a lot of people, especially the minorities will
lose their jobs. lf they could turn down the noise a bit, that would be good.. 377>We are the City of Trees which means we are the City of Leaves. lt gets windy in
our city. Most of the leaves we clean up are from our neighbors. Don't handicap us by not
allowing leaf blowers. The current rules work great. Less clean up means more leaves in
our storm drains and creeks.. 41>l'd prefer to have clean neighborhoods rather than worry about a liftle noise for a few
minutes once in awhile.. 500>lt's very heard to get leaves out from underneath delicate flowers without a leaf
blower. Don't ban them.. 742>Burlingame has too many leafy trees to get rid of leaf blowers, but the hours could
be adjusted a little. 460>City of trees without Blowers? This would be a real hardship. They are noisy, but a
necessary part of keeping our city looking beautiful. The blower companies have reduced
noise and emmissions. 462>The city of trees needs blowers not rakes. Too expensive to do the work manuallyt 7 47 >\All'ry are you discussing this nonissue? I've lived in Burlingame for over 26 years.
The leaf blowing has never bothered me. I have a yard that would be very difficult if not
impossible to rake up the oak leaves from the 400 year old oak tree. Cars driving by my
house are more noisy and frequent than leaf blowers. The city street sweeper makes
more noise than a leaf blower. The proponents reasons for abolishing leaf blowers are
lame at the best.. 70>i believe blowers are nisey & a pain .,..yes-..., however when you have a lot of proerty
it is bottom line easier......maybe you should put restricitions on protecting the workers by
having them wera mandatory mask & ear protections....but with the economy the way it
is .....good luck.....i cant afford to apy my gardeners more lhan what i am doing ..... 647>No leaf blowers on the weekends. Period.. 379>How stupid can things get. Great idea ban leaf blowers and cause costs to go up
when saving a buck now a days is more important than ever. Try closing your windows
when the gardeners show up. Solves a lot of problems. Also as far as the hazards leaf
blowers stir up. What happens when the wind blows maybe Burlingame can build a giant
bubble around the city. How about some common sense for once in city govt.
o 558>The city employees use these blowers all the time. lf they are banned not only will it
cost more money to the city but to all the homeowners who have gardeners. You must
8/9/2011
Page 19 of25
have something more important to do.
o 584>Just another attempt to micro manage. Leave it as is, and maybe the city should
attempt lo enforce the curent regulations.. 230>There are also potential health hazards to consider if residents are not given the
resources to properly maintain their grounds. Too much underbrush can easily lead to
infestation of rats, mice and other wild life.
o 333>As a homeowner I own a gas powered leaf blower and I am very considerate of my
neighbors. I only use it at appropriate times, and very limited use- Butthis tool is a must.
My gardner also uses one, but just for less than 5 minutes. I do not agree with your
environmental comments. This tool saves a lot of time, and I think a total restriction would
cause a lot of problems, and a total ban is simply an over-reaction. The wind causes
more problems than a leaf blower l!! DO NOT BE A BERKELEY TYPE CITY
COUNCIL !!! I have lived in Burlingame all my life...that's 60 years.. 38>My gardener would not be able to afford the time to clean my yard without a leaf
blower. He would quit. I would also not be able to find a new gardener who does not use
a leaf blower. The arguments that are applied to leaf blowers also apply to lawn mowers
which are not mentioned- I believe that this ban is discriminatory in that it applies an
unreasonable burden upon a single group of workers. This is being done in the absence
of reliable environmental or health data and ignores similar pollution from other sources.. 408>Leaf blowers not a problem really. I don't use them but would hate to see
Burlingame full of restrictions. All is fine the way it is. People should learn to tolerate one
another.. 463>l understand the concem for workers, but this can also be addressed by forcing the
wearing of appropriate noise protection headgear and masks. My gardeners wear both of
these.. 733>You can not single out gas powered leaf blowers to be banned. \A/hat about gas
powered lawn mowers, scooters, even cars. They put out just as many emissions, or
more!. 688>l believe the current regulations are adequate and that a ban on leaf blowers would
impose an undue hardship on homeowners and on lawn/garden care professionals.
. 40>Eliminating blowers is not the answer, having workers wear ear protection and masks
would better address health issues related to using blowers.. 808>How is a leaf blower different from a gas/electric lawnmower? ls the City looking to
ban those as well? This issue is a ridiculous waste of time and money!!
o 257>There is significant leaf debris in my neighborhood. Many of the leaves are from City
trees planted along the sidewalk (Occidental Ave). Banning leaf blowers would make
clearing my roof (potential fire hazard) and the sidewalks, where there is significant foot
traffic, impractical and time consuming. The fact is that it would probably not get done
with regularity and the unintended consequences of any ban could outweigh the noise
pollution averted.. 3>Limiting hours further and/or restricting use of blowers would be very difficult to
enforce, would create an adversarial situation between neighbors and would be a
headache for City staff.. 253>l have a yard that has a large Oak Tree that drops a lot of leaves, the only way that I
can pick the leaves up is by blowing. They cannot be raked up. Sounds like this is
another politically correct issue with no benefits.. 235>Mow and Blow allows our residents to maintain landscape standards that keep our
prorerty values high without taxing the time our precious youngsters need for their play
dates, soccer practice, etc. while re-enforcing their sense of entitlement rather than
establishing a character-building work ethic. lt eliminates the necessity of property
8l9t20n
Page 20 of25
owners actually stepping outside to interact with their neighbors while all engage in leaf
raking, sidewalking sweeping, lawn watering, etc. which leads to social isolation and lack
of civic engagement in the community. Most of our residents are off the premises at their
own employment when the leaf blowers, gas powered lawn mowers, gas powered hedge
clippers and other noisy gardening tools are used by the hired gardeners employed to
keep our community looking "Edenic". This whole issue is specious. \Mll the gas or
electric leaf blower ban also apply to City workers in Park and Rec or Public Works
where the City will have to pick up the cost of the extra time it will t. 303>There is more serious issues out there to compliment! Like the wonderfull service
our Park Dept. provides to our residents of Burlingame!. 433>Quit over regulating the poor little guy trying to make a living your gona get your
crappy obama care if they get sick and we refuse to stop lllegals from working any way
you cruel Bastards just want to make it tougher for a poor lllegal mow and blow guy to
make a buck. step off!!who the hell are these Comunity activists I noticed you didn't
name them and I don't believe you can prove any of your so called facts worrie about
Keeping our fire and police next youll ban Summer Lemonade stands Jerks. 296>lf you want to talk about banning something, try hot tar on roofs particularly on
washinhgton elementary. For weeks the hot tar fumes invade my house when the work
on that roof which seems like several times a year. That cannot be healthy.. 297>My problem with leaf blowers is the operators, who after picking up the leaves, then
blow the leftovers away from the property they are cleaning up and towards someone
elsed€ms property. I see this all the time and there should be some type of regulation
against this practice. I do however think the db rating of the blowers could be written into
the regulations. I also do not see in the rules any difference between homeowner use
and professional use. Should not the homeowner get some break on the hours of use
since he may be working during the usage hours?. 94>Leaf blowers are an annoyance but so are gas-powered mower and weed wackers.
Gas powered mowers and weed wakers can also be blamed for contributing to
airlwater/noise pollution and using fossil fuels. \Mll these be outlawed next? I believe I'm
more concerned about our environment than most of my peers but I don't think this is a
reasonable item for the City to be considering. As for worker health, I would prefer to see
an ordinance passed that made it mandatory for workers to use eye and hearing
protection and face masks to protect their respiratory systems.. 9>These are necessary tools to get work done efficiently. Require ear plugs and mask to
address health concerns.
o 50>This is ridiculous and further proves that California is a socialist state (on the verge of
Communism).. 397>What are we? Hillsborough? Snippety snappety snobby peninsula Nimby!l!!
o 495>it seems burlingame is on the route to oppose anything newer than the 18th century,
Ieaf blowers, high-speeds rail, what's next, horseless carriages?. 590>The current system seems to work very well. Whats next? Going to regulate when
dogs can bark?. S3l>Our water rates are going up, sewer rates, storm water rates. how much more can
the home owners of Burlingame afford. pass this hair brain idea,and the citizens of
Burlingame can't afford you.. 604>this is insane. Wtrat's next? banning how loud kids can play outside, banning traffic
noise? Train whistles (this was tried). 86>You refer to commercial lawn care companies. How does it afiect property owners
using blowers on their property?
o 231>l think you need to consider the impact over-regulating these services have on the
81912011
Page2l of25
residents and the livelihood of the providers. Transition to quieter and less
environmentally damaging blowers should be encouraged.. 17>lt's crazy that this is even being discussed !
o 344>lt would be a HARDSHIP for me to not be able to use my blower. This is the city of
trees, and leaves do fall down. We have enough regulations in place already. lf
Burlingame gives me a property tax break to hire someone to rake leaves fine, but I want
our city looking great, and raking by the hour doesn't come cheap!. 332>lf the proponents want to pay the extra cost this will incur me, then please send the
check every month. I estimate lwill need another $100 per month, $1200 per year, if our
gardener cannot use their leaf blower. The result will likely be less gardening and
therefore worse looking neighborhoods. lf no willing to offset my additional cost, then
STAY OUT OF MY BUSINESS!. 276>Don't ban leaf blowers unless you have a new four cycle clean leaf blower to
replace it that no longer uses oil and a dirty two cycle engine. when a good alternative
exists then ban them. Just like lakes have banned 2 cycle engines in favor of 4 cycle.. 561>This is something to consider at a later time. Economics of such a ban should be
seriously considered.. 237>dont go overboard with this issue, keep it reasonable and simple. 132>l would be in favor of having extending hours for electric and limiting hours for
gasoline. I am not sure but I think electric has more benefits than gas (less pollution,
quieter) so if we can encourage more electric than maybe a good compromise.. 642>what about the time garbage is picked up? Those trucks are noisy and could be just
as noisy as leaf blowers!. 423>These gardeners are trying to make a living to support families. Give them a break.
They would rather work than be on Welfare. Why put additional restrictions on them?
Comments from those individuals who object to the City Council's effort to
determine whether or not residents of the City perceive that the banning of blowers
would be something within the power of the City to improve the quality of life of the
residents.
. 25>The city runs a legal risk if it attempts to pass this suggested rule. There is no
scientific up-to-date data to support its position. Gardeners already use loud gasoline
powered lawnmowers-is this to be banned as well? Also, those that state that they are
"protecting" the health of the gardeners by passing this rule are imposing their beliefs on
the gardeners. Why not ask those that would be most affected by this rule how they feel?
lncreased hours of labor to do the same job, most likely no significant increase in
residents' payments, and probably a very minimal risk to their health compared to the
benefits of earning a living and supporting their families. Until definitive data suggesting
grossly disproportional pollution and health risks are posed by leaf blowers, let's have the
city spend it's time doing something worthwhile!!. 859>lf its not broke why do you insist on fixing it. There are several other problems that
need fixing how about putting a little effort into those problems like fixing the potholes
and uneven streets/. 71S>ln these uncertain times, when im worried if lll have a job in a month, if lll meet my
mortgage, my childs class size will increase, budget cuts , inflation, gas prices, taxation,
the misrery index.... its great to see you guys are wonied about the really important stuff
8/9/2011
Page22 of25
like leaf blowers- Hopefully I can get a job from you guys doing the impact study on
banning leaf blowers. 168>We have bigger issues to address. Can't see this as a priority.. 82>This is a poor use of city time, particularly as we already have a reasonable
ordinance restricting use, and because other agencies have exclusive jurisdiction over
occupational safety and health. Surely the city council and staff have far more important
things to worry about.. 19>Are there seriously not more important issues to spend time on?. 456>Have we addressed the city's more serious issues to such a degree that we can
move down the list to leaf blowers? Really? This does not represent the type of hard
issue we expect our city council to address in these dfficult economic times. We've got
budget deficits, infraskucture problems, tax issues, and you wantto talk about leaf
blowers? Back to work with you all and leave the gardeners alone.
o 20>Doesn't the city council have more important issues to worry about given the
economy?. 28>l disagree with any restrictions on this topic! Let's focus on something that is more
important!. 68>THIS IS RIDICULOUS TO EVEN WASTE THE TIME AND MONEY FOR THIS!!. 1 1S>This is ridiculous. Let people mow their lawns as they wish. City counsel time should
be devoted to more important matters.. 262>Enough restrictions already! \Mll the gardeners be required to only use rakes? And
then will you want to ban "noisy rakes" before 9am? I can't believe we are discussing this
with so many real problems to solve!. 267>Doesn't the city have better things to do!!!! This is unbelieveable.. I don't need the
City telling me how I can rake up my leaves!!!!!!! V1/hy not focus on PENSION reform, OR
fixing our sidewalks etc!!!!!!!! Unfricken believeable.. Can't wait to vote you all out!!!!l!!. 396>this is a total waste of time worrying about this issue - spend time worrying about
jobs, homeless, and city maintenance. 477>Seriously?? Are there no more important issues for the City Council to spend its
time on?? Did I miss the solution to the budget shortfall? Did the unpaid pension liabilities
get paid? The City Council need to focus on more important issues.. 600>l would not want the Burlingame City counsel proposing any "leaf blowei' ordinance
changes during the current economic shortcomings is vary wise task. I'm sure there are
other issues that are more important-. 739>Has the 'Nanny State' set up camp in Burlingame? Quit wasting our time on this
nonsense! Concentrate on your responsibilities for providing roads, sidewalks, street
lights, and public safety.. 71>Aren't there more serious matters to tackle than leaf-blowing? This is all ridiculous
o 236>There are more important issues you should focus on. Don't wast my tax dollars. 597>Does this topic really demand the attention of the City Council? A ridiculous waste
of city time. How about more attention on the sidewalk repairs? Throwing a patch of black
asphalt on a concrete sidewalk looks honible and doesn't fix the underlying issue.
Another poor decision by the Council.
o 567>Doesn't the city have bigger fish to fry?
o 429>Most of us have gardeners who use blowers and we can't control whether they are
gas or electric. I think banning blowers is ridiculous, and I think enforcing a ban will be
next to impossible and waste of city time and money. There are far more critical
important issues to spend time on. lf this is a problem, then banning gas powered
blowers might be an options near schools and parks, since the city likely controls those
services. But that is the most that should be done.

Health issues, Particulate Matter issues, Particulate Matter issues, Emissions issues,
Fossil Fuel Use issues, & Noise Pollution and Decibel Violations issues as leaf blowers?
Come on people think before you want to ban something! Banning leaf blowers is such a
waste of time & MY tax dollars!. 13O>Considering current city budgets, crime and the general economy, this seems like a
crusade by folks with too much time and too little to do! lf it works, don't try to fix it.. 213>This is ridiculous. The cunent hours are not enforced to begin with. Doesn't the city
council have better things to spend their time on?
o 476>Wow - I am amazed that the City Council has no bigger problems than this to deal
with- ls this what happens when our Mayor runs for County Supervisor - the serious
issues facing the City are just ignored? Why are the hours of use, noise and pollution
from leaf blowers up for debate and yet Safeway construction can start as early as they
want on any given day and make whatever mess they want? Please, Burlingame City
Council, get serious: fix the budget problems, fix the streets, fix the unpaid pension
Iiabilities (start giving up your own claim to lifetime health benefits). Seriously, does
anyone believe that landscaping is the biggest problem we have in Burlingame??
o 189>Who will inforce this ordinence--in the Mills Estate area they start at 7:30
Fridays...lA/ho will pay for the extra watch person??? I believe there are greater problems
in the city to consider. Use your time wisely,. This is a no-sense problem. We will have
less gardners who will work in Burlingame, our gardens will begin to look terrible without
their help, and the cost past onto the customer will lead to no gardners and the beauty for
which Burlingame is known for, will be destroyed by a no brainer. STOP WASTING
YOUR TIME....
o 509>lssue is not one that seems to be a high priority problem in our area. Perhaps the
city could focus on more important issues. Great that city is taking a survey of interest in
this issue.. 341>This is the City of Trees. Let's be realistic, I maintain my own yard and have large
beautiful oak trees. Wthout my blower my yard would be in shambles.. S50>Ridiculous this is even coming up!
Comments from the respondents whose responses identified that those individuals
are willing to accept the position of the majority, do not know enough about blowers
to form an opinion, or do not care about the issue as to whether or not blowers
should be banned.

. 302>Please also take into consideration the proper use of a blower. lf one is to use a gas
or electric leaf blower then the operator should be responsible for removing the unwanted
debris. All too often I see an operator blow the debris into the street and then leave it
there.. 352>set a maximum decibel output; set max exhaust standards (which usually requires
then electric or quieter 4-stroke models). lf you tie the legislation to performance, you'll
have an easier time defending the legislation against legal challenges.
o 289>Had not realized this issue had emerged as a priority. Think it could hurt
yardworkers who already are stressed financially. Would like to hear more info before

Comments made about the existing Ordinance, plus the miscellaneous other
remarks made by the respondents.
. 860>Regulation without enforcement is limp.. 845>lf current regulations are enforced that would be the first step.. 134>l have not researched this issue. I am willing to go along with what the council
decides to solve the problem. On Tuesdays, at my corner of Easton and Bernal, LOUD
leafblowers start at 7:30 a.m. and most Tuesdays continue during the day until 4 pm.
This has been going on for at least 3 years. Our gardener who comes on Wed. for a short
time, does not have a LOUD leafblower. lthink a restriction on the level of decibels might
make a difference in our being able to use our outside areas on Tuesdays. Not all
leafblowers are equally offensive. This is not an easy issue and I thank the council for
trying to deal with it,. 330>l am completely neutral on this subject, seeing valid arguments both for, and
against. The larger issue is that if any regulations are ever to be taken seriously, they will
need to be enforced, whether leaf-blower issue, oftleash dogs, or other. I do not think
this city has the bandwidth cunently to be able to enforce many of our ordinances, so I'm
not sure introducing new ones makes any sense, if we cannot enforce those we already
have. l'm not sure there have ever been any citations given for leaf-blowers operating
outside the allowed hours, have there? lt all comes down to people having to report
violations, that in turn must be followed up by the ordinance offer or the police. l'm just
not sure how we can take on any more rules without being able to follow through on
violations.
o 768>No Sun or holidays.. 180>lt would be nice if each neighborhood had only one day a week and saturdays only -
even 9-5 but only one day per week per neighborhood. Then I wouldnt care if they used
gas or electric.. 465>Early morning noise is most irritant, and thus why later hours suggested if outright
ban on gas powered is not passed.. 4>There is a balance of cost to clean up leaves and environmental concerns. There may
be a case to require protective respiratory and earpiece protection. There may be a need
to set limits on noise produced and emissions from leaf blowers. At this point I would like
more factual information about the arguments made on both sides of this questionnaire.. 473>l like #3 with the addition of weekend hours for working people who only can do yard
work during weekends. 576>What about 4 stroke gas powered leaf blowers?. 48't>What good is a survey when I am unable to select my answer?? I was unable to
select any answer for items 5, 6 and 7. Obviously, Survey Monkey doesn't have much of
a quality control program and Burlingame City Council is in the same difficulty.. 291>You ought to put a survey on that actually works. I have tried selecting answers and
nothing works.. 388>My major issue is noise. I assume using a blower at a lower speed to reduce noise
is less effective and more time consuming. So using a rake would work just as well. lf so
why NOT ban? Though a side effect may be that gardening services will cost more.
Some people may cancel the service thinking they'll do it themselves but then never
actually DO lT. Front yards may become unsightly while gardeners go to out of business
(loseJose). Plus I agree regardless of a change or ban on blowers I can't see it being
8t912011
Page 25 of25
enforced effectively. The city doesn't have the resources to cruise and monitor use or to
rush out to a site to issue a ticket if a complaint is called in. You'd have to rely on self-
regulation and neighbor peer pressure.. 293>l do not find suffrcient information about electric blowers in order to answer these
questions??. 709>l don't know enough about decibel level differences between gas and electric. I did
not comment on electric for this reason. I do care, but I don't know.. 482>One thing to consider: people may be more inclined to use hoseArater to push the
leaves off their sidewalks. That's what I do since I don't have a blower- Maybe you just
end up trading gas/electricity for water usage.

Proposal to Burlingame City Council to Ban Leaf Blowers:
Review and Recommendations Sumrnary
Backeround
Scientists and doctors have determined that use of leaf blowers creates dangerous public
hazards which contribute to and cause disease. The issues are:
. worker health (respiratory issues, tissue damage, hearing loss, stress disorders,
etc.)
o particulate matter (pesticides, mercury, arsenic, cadmium, animal feces blown
into breathing air)
o respiratory, auditory and stress diseases affecting health of residents (of whom
55% reside in neighborhoods during blower hours)
o high carbon emissions and resulting diseases (skin cancer, etc.)
. fossil fuel usage. decibel violations and noise pollution
o clean water (particulate matter blown into storm drains)
o county health budgets affected by uninsured worker diseases.
The Citizen's Environmental Council recommends banning gas-powered leaf blowers
and gas generators throughout the city, and imposing 3-day per week time limits on use
of electric during specified hours (see Enforcement Report for firll detail.)
FAO's
t. Won't banning gas-pottsered.leaf blotoers and generafors cost
gardeners rnoney? No. Gardeners will save $2,233.4-4 in fuel costs each year
using electric blowers (see below). Should gardeners choose to use hardscape
sweepers, electric mulching mowers & vacuums they will save $s.saz.8a in fuel
costs each and every year.
2. Won't replacing gas equiptnent be burdensotne to gardeners
financia,lly? No. Recommended high-end electric blowers range from g87.oo
to $rr9.oo each, a cost which is easily off-set by first-month fuel savings. (See
below, and see firll Cost-Analysis Report.)
g. Are electric blouers pouerful enough to tnoue leoues and. debris?
Yes. We checked with manufacturers directly to make recommendations on
models with appropriate power, velocity, and even mulching capacity on
blower/vacuum models, saving the gardeners from lifting heary bags ofleaves.
4. Are gas-potoered blouers really that d.angerous? For workers, using
gas-powered blow-ers is equivalent to standing rB inches from an SIJV exhaust
pipe, all day long, five or six days per u'eek. Electric means no emissions, no "oil
C€C Dq444EE
CEC Recommendation
slick" on gardeners' skin from 3o% raw fuel emissions, no nitrous oxide ingestion
and no emissions for our neighborhoods.
5. What are the ouerall benefits of electric? Electric blowers provide BIG
CASH SAVINGS for gardeners, very low maintenance on machines, healthier
workers, cleaner air, and reduced noise and decibel levels. Electric blowers also
have a more focused delivery of air flow-which addresses one of the biggest
complaints from the public: gardeners blowing debris into neighboring yards
and street traffic. Electric blowers offer a more-focused, task-appropriate air flow
that eliminates the ability to blast debris where it doesn't belong.
6. EIou serious; are the do:ngers of panticulate rnatter o:nd respiratory
disease? The California Air Resources Board states that there are more than
g,ooo deaths per year attributed to particulate matter. Those with allergies and
respiratory issues are most affected, but particulates compromise even the
healthy. Electric blowers do not lessen particulates. That's why we propose a 3-
day use plan so that particulates can "settle" in neighborhoods on non-blower rlse
days.
7. What about decibel leuels? Will electric blouers help uith noise
pollution? Both researchers and our decibel report cite standard use of gas-
pow-ered blowers at 90 to rzo decibels-more than double the EPA and WHO
recommended standards. Electric noise registers in a different auditory pitch
range, making it less irritating. However, electric blowers don't solve the noise
problem, that's why we propose 3-day per week use, so neighbors can get some
relief.
8. Whg canlt toe just tell gardeners that theg haue to use gas blouers on
lotaer settings? Many cities have tried t}tis approach and it is rmenforceable.
City officials we spoke'rvith noted that to make our initiative work, we must
re the we cannot of
machinerv use or w-orker behavior.
g- Won't enforcernent of o bc:n take up an inordinate annount of citg
sta;ff tbne? No. Violations will be complaint-based and the public would be
aware that response time would likely take 4-5 days. We suggest having the code
enforcement first send a form letter with a warning. Subsequent violations would
be addressed wittr fines. The Police Department will not be used.
to.Won\ gardeners Iose business if theg utn onlg operate blousers three
dags per ueelc? No. Gardeners in other cities have easily adapted to time
restrictions on blower use. Those who stop using blowers and use sustainable
gardening equipment instead would be able to work any day of the week.
Porrulations Affected
Barbara Ferry Specialist for the U.S. Census Bureau, confirmed that 55% of Burlingame
residents reside in neighborhoods during blower-use hours. A popular pro-blower
argument is, "I'm not home, so what's the problem?" Burlingame's survey on leaf
blowers shows that for residents residing at home, blower use is a serious problem. In
the survey, 55% of respondents either 'strongly or somewhat agree" that leaf blowers
should be restricted or banned-which accurately represent the breakdown in residents
affected by blower use. (In the survey, 39.1% "somewhat or strongly disagree.")
Incentives
Using electric blowers saves gardeners thousands of dollars per year ($2,233.44 by our
survey), improves health outcomes for workers, reduces noise pollution and helps the
environment. Incentivizing electric blowers use improves gardeners' financial health,
since the cost of fuel for gas blowers goes up each year
Furthermore, as we begin to educate our community about the healthy, sustainable
equipment available (Haaga sweepers, Lawn Ninja electric mulching mowers, small
vacuums) we can help gardeners save more than $5,5oo.oo each year. It is possible that
tle California Air Resources Board might make our sustainable gardening project one of
its "Innovative Strategies" programs. We are investigating funding sources to support
education, equipment replacement, and use-training pilot projects.

Sustainable Horizons
The new, sustainable gardening tools save gardeners $5,532.84 per year in fuel costs. If
we add an electric hedge trimmer and edger to that package, the savings rise to
$6,294.24 per year. It behooves us then, as a city, to begin to promote these new
technologies. The biggest misconception about banning blowers is tJre
presumption that gardeners have to go back to rakes and brooms. This is
absolutely not the case. The research w'e did found that the best sustainable
machinery on the market is affordable and effective.

Other Cities
More than 5o cities have banned leaf blowers in that State of California (either gas or
gas and electric.) City officials in Palo AIto, Santa Monica and several other cities
reported that once effective bans were in place, their residents reported significant
neighborhood improvements in quality of life. The resident trying to put her child down
for a nap, the home-based worker trying to take a business call, the police ofEcer kept
awake after a night shift, the dogs barking from agitation over blower noise-all
subsided. l,ess complaints meant "more peace and quiet" for everyone. One of our
respondents in our survey noted, "Our homes are our castles-a sanctuary where we
spend the greater part of our lives, and the place where we should expect the necessary
protection to safely relax and be comfortable." (Please see "Quotes from City Survey
Report" for comment examples.)

Recommendations to the Burlingame City Gouncil
Leaf Blowers and Our Public Health
Summary Statement:
2-stroke engine leaf blowers pour copious amounts of carbon emissions (carbon
monoxide, nitrogen oxide, etc.) into our community's air each year, and their prolific use
creates disastrous next-generation clean-air and health issues for our community.' ln
addition, both electric and gas-powered leaf blowers power ground-borne pathogens
called "particulate matter'into our breathing air (mercury, arsenic, mold, animal feces,
pesticides, etc.), which researchers believe contributes to and causes respiratory
disease.2 "New generation" blowers (4-skoke engines) and electric blowers do not
solve the particulate matter or clean air issues and still exceed standards for safe
decibel levels in neighborhoods.3
Leaf blowers have been determined to have a causal relationship to adult and child
asthma, lung disease and hearing loss in workers and have even been linked to Sudden
lnfant Death Syndrome by researchers at The Environmental Protection Agency and
other agencies.a The American Lung Association cites blowers as huge contributors to
carbon emissions, stating, "ln the Bay Area alone, blowers account for 1.4 tons a day of
smog-forming compounds and 15 tons of carbon monoxide." The ALA produced
research that states that leaf blowers produce as much carbon-based air pollution in
one hour as a car diven for 100 miles.r
Blowers greatly affect people who reside and work in neighborhoods during daylight
hours, particularly impacting children, home-based workers, delivery personnel, retirees,
students, the elderly and night shift workers (physicians, nurses, police officers, etc.)
These blower-affected populations represen t up to 55%of Burlinoame residents
according to U.S. Census data. (Population and Census Data, below.) Blowers,
therefore, seriously impact Burlingame's citizens.
Last year, the Citizen's Environmental Council adopted The Drive Less Challenge, but
prolific blower use means that bicycle riders and walkers risk respiratory issues by
exercising out of doors-a sad and sorry commentary on our efforts to reduce
emissions. Lastly, noise pollution created by blower decibel violations contributes
greatly to stress, anxiety and even heart disorders, with levels regularly exceeding EPA
and World Health Organization safety levels more than 50%.o
The Approach
Cities have long recognized that leaf blowers are a public nuisance, and many in
California banned blower use for noise abatement as early as the late 1980's. But cities
banning in more recent years have focused their ordinances on clean air and public
health, offering a broader base of criteria to support the bans, The discovery of

hazardous particulate matter blown into our breathing air by blowers has officials
concerned about the public health hazards of their almost constant use in communities
ln the recent New Yorker ariicle entitled "Blow Back" (October 25, 2010), author Tad
Friend explored issues and challenges of prolific use, bringing some much-needed
national attention to the issue. lt is our contention that leaf blower use is more than a
neighborhood issue; that it is indeed, a public health and safety issue, and needs to be
addressed as such.
References, research documentation and quotes from clean air officials have been
added to this report in recent edits. Public health impact statements are supported by
detailed references at the end of this report, with links for further information. ln an
effort to not duplicate data, Quiet Orinda's report is also attached, which offers
additional in-depth medical, public health and noise pollution references and research
This report is designed to focus on the specific gily issues of blower use, particularly
detailing cities' experiences with their leaf blower ordinances. lt explores: 1) what
worked and what did not in cities that banned , and 2)what best practices can be
gleaned from other cities' successes and errors.
The lssues
Leaf blower use impacts many aspects of our public health. These include:
1. Worker Health:
Workers are at risk for respiratory and lung disease, tissue initation or damage (from
N02 emissions), hearing loss, auditory disorders, and stress/anxiety disorders.
Researchers contacted cited that cumulative use wll produce an epidemic of
respiratory diseases (and some suggest cancers) in the next ten to twenty years, when
the effects of long-term blower use are expected to appear. 7
Worker health is the elephant in the room regarding blower use-no one is addressing
it. Most workers do not use protective eye- or ear-wear, do not wear masks, and
operate blowers at high levels (90-1 1OdB averages) because it's faster, where decibels
far exceed World Health Organization and EPA safety levels. As early as 1991 ,
researchers measured decibel violations at'an average A-weighted sound at the
operator's position of 103.6 decibels, and maximum levels at 110-112 dB." (Clark,
1991 .)B vs. 55 safe decibel-levels standards for neiqhborhoods. Though masks are
recommended for workers, they are rarely used, and though they block some particulate
matter, they are not effective at protecting workers from breathing in particulates long-
term.
The 2-stroke engine of the blower pours as much as 30% raw fuel into the breathing air
of workers, further risking their health. Dr. John R. Balmes, of the Califomia Air
Resources Board and Professor of Medicine at the Division of Occupational and
Environmental Medicine, UCSF said, "Blowers are large contributors of CO2 nitrous
oxide and particulate mafter and are therefore dang

erous. There is al so the ootential
for gardeners to develop tissue damaqe from breathing in particulates from both gas
and electric blowers."
Doctor Balmes noted that any engine that bums fossil fuels releases nitrogen oxides
(NO2). "lf workers wear a sealed mask [which most do not-in fact, most wear no
masks at all], they can be protected from a portion of particulate matter,but not from
NO2-" Residents in neighborhoods, or "anyone not wearing a sealed mask, are not
protected.' Per Dr. Balmes,'High concentrations of NO2 can burn breathing airways.
A person using a blower regularly could develop enough inflammation to cause
structural damage-certainly enough to develop asthma or respiratory distress.'
Local officials have yet to make the connection between blower use among uninsured
workers and county health budgets. Most gardening workers are uninsured or under-
insured,and will rely on city and/or county health services for lreatment as svmptoms

coun
issue. Researchers at UCSF's lnstitute for Health and Aging predict that symptoms will
appear within the next 10 years1o, when a significant population of workers will have
been using blowers for at least two decades. Are cities and counties prepared for an
epidemic of respiratory diseases, hearing loss and stress disorders, and the attendant
dollar impact on health services of a largely uninsured group of residents with chronic
diseases?
2. Clean Air
The two-stroke engines which power most leaf blowers pump an enormous amount of
carbon emissions (carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, etc.) into our air. Once again,
The American Lung Association produced research that states, "ln the Bay Area alone,
blowers account for 1 .4 tons a day of smog-forming compounds and 15 tons of carbon
monoxide." Newer, four-stroke engines are promoted as "less polluting" but given that
they burn a mixture of oil and gas, their emissions will continue to negatively impact
worker health and air quality. Any form of blowing, (i.e., propelled air at high speeds)
will continue to negatively impact particulate matter, which is a pivotal clean air and
public health issue.l1 (New generation blowers are also much more expensive and
therefore rejected by workers.)
The prolific use of blowers means that we, as a community, are responsible for huge
increases in carbon emissions as we permit continuous blower use. But two- and four-
stroke gas-powered engines are only half of the argument. The American Lung
Association also found traces of arsenic, cadmium, chromium and mercury in street
dust, as well as airborne feces, allergens, spores, molds, pesticides and herbicides-all
blown into the air daily, all hours of the day, by leaf blowers, both electric and qas.
lun susa.o .) Communities who banned both gas and electric blowers did so as
I
' Endnotes: "Blowers, At Quality, Emissions and Worker Heallh"
10 Anecdotal responses from K.Davies, Researcher at UCSF Institute for Health and Aging
" Endnoles: 'Particulate Matter"
a commitment to clean, particulate-free air as a first-tier priority (versus, for example,
banning gas-only for noise abatement.)
Cities who banned only gas-powered saw gardeners circumvent the ordinance by using
gas-powered generators to power electric blowers---offering some reduction in the plfch
of the noise levels, but no impact on clean air, less emissions, or less noise overall.
Other ordinance-avoidance tactics have included using methane versus gasoline, which
also creates no solution to clean air or noise pollution issues.
Childhood asthma is already an epidemic in our country (more than 5,000 asthma
deaths per year), and researchers note that leaf blowers have both a contributing and
causal effect on this respiratory disease.l2 Particulate matter results in cardio-
pulmonary issues among populations regularly exposed to it, including home-based
workers, children, delivery personnel, retirees, the elderly, infants, and those who
exercise or bike ride outdoors. ln our city, neighbors report having to walk through
plumes of debris to simply walk downtown. The Bay Area Air Quality Management
District offers guidelines on non-dust-producing activities for respiratory health that help
clean air outcomes, including banning leaf blowers.13 Given that our community is
promoting programs like lhe Dnye Less Challenge, we have a responsibility to protect
our clean air for those who bike ride or walk instead of drive, as well as our general
community's respiratory health. And, as noted, worker health should be a primary
community priority where respiratory disease is concerned.
4. Fossil Fuel Usaqe:
Leaf blowers use thousands of gallons of fossil fuels each week. ln the next decade,
our focus must be on less oil dependency, and banning blowers can impact our
community's carbon footprint faster than any other community choice we can make
(apart from the prolific use of electric cars.) Reducing our city's fossil fuel dependency
can only help to both preserve clean air and reduce oil dependency. Banning gas-
powered blowers onlv (and allowing electric) solves only part of the fuel/energy
problem-especially if bans do not restrict the use of gas-powered generators to power
electric blowers. Since electric-powered blowers hugely increase the need for coal- and
nuclear-based energy sources, there are long-term implications for our community and
our state with their continued use.
5. Noise Pollution and Decibel Violations:
Researchers cite leaf blowers as one of the top stress-producing noise polluters in our
environment. Anxiety, depression, hypertension, high blood pressure, ADD and
hyperactivity in children are all negatively affected by leaf blowers.la The high-pitched
"drone" of the blower has a stress-producing impact not noted in lawn mowers or other
lower-pitched gardening equipment. Researchers suggested that the documentation of
stress disorders resulting from blowers is a likely upcoming research outcome.ls

3. Respiratorv Diseases and Leaf Blowers:
The EPA studied harm from noise pollution as early as 1970. The World Health
Organization (WHO) and the EPA16 cite 70 decibels as the maximum safe noise level in
the work place , and lower levels in communities. Both WHO and EPA cite acceptable
noise levels at home and in non-work environments-where blowers are most used-at
55 decibels outside, and 45 decibels inside, with hospitals and schools at 35 decibels.
Blowers are regularly used at 90-1 '10 decibels, with indoor and outdoor levels blaring
from 50-707o higher than the safety standards. ln her study, Nolse ard /ts Affecfs, by
Dr. Alice H. Suter, the researcher found that steady noise above 50 decibels becomes
an "annoyance;" and noise above 55 decibels is a "serious noise threat" at home.17
These statistics mean that our health and safety are being seriously compromised by
blower noise all across our community.
It's important to note that pro-blower references often cite the safe industrial decibel
levels of 70+ to justify their use. lndustrial EPA and WHO standards are still violated by
huge percentages at common usage levels of 90-1 '10 dB's. But since blowers are used
in neighborhoods and near schools and hospitals, it is the safe neighborhood standards
that are an appropriate measurement at 55 decibels (45 inside homes and 35 for
schools and hospitals.)
6. Storm Drains, Common Blower Practices and Clean Water
Our attempts to support bans are not designed to blame the gardening worker for
hazardous practice standards set by middle- and upper-class property owners. That
said, there are common blower practices that need to be addressed. Gardeners
regularly blow debris from one property to the next, into streets and into storm drains.
Blowing debris into the next person's yard is fruitless at best, but it's also harmful to our
environment as we pump huge amounts of emissions and particulate matter into the air.
Blowing poisonous particulate matter into storm drains-something we can see on
Burlingame's streets every day-is especially hazardous as it affects evaporation cycles,
and hence, our water supply. Toxins in our water supply are a serious mafter. The
practice of blowing debris into oncoming traffic is more than common, and residents can
witness it regularly, especially along the El Camino corridor. Enforcement to ban these
practices is impractical at best, and given the numerous health hazards of the blower
banning is recommended.
Population and Census Data
The total population in Burlingame is 30,001, based on the most recent U.S. Census
data, reported in 2008, and released this past September. According to Barbara Ferry,
r6 www.who.int/mediacentre/factsheets; wrrw.epa.gov
17 Endnotes: "l.loise and Its AIfects" By Dr., Alice H. Suter
Who's Affected?
As noted, gardening and landscaping workers, home-based workers, children, delivery
workers, retirees, mothers, bike riders/walkers, night shift workers (physicians, nurses,
police officers, airport workers, etc.) and anyone who resides near or in neighborhoods
during daylight hours are all seriously affected by blower use. Since there are no
enforced bans on blowing in Burlingame, they are aclive every day of the week, all day
long, including Saturdays and Sundays---+neaning ALL Burlingame residents are
affected.
Partnership and Data Services Specialist of the U.S. Census Bureau, Burlingame has
6,058 residents under the age of 1 8, and 4,956 over the age of 65-a total of 1 1,014
residents, or 36.7Yo of our population (retirees, infants, young and school age
children), negatively affected by blower use in school areas and neighborhoods during
daylight hours. That number jumps significantly when we factor in homemakers, home'
based small business workers, retirees aged 62-65, college-age students, school
workers and teachers, delivery personnel, sanitation/recycling workers, and graveyard-
shift workers (physicians, nurses, police officers, airport workers, etc.) Based on
information provided by the census bureau's core numbers, it is a reasonable estimation
that up to 550/o or more of Burlingame's population resides in neighborhoods
during daylight hours-meaning, they are negatively affected by daily leaf blower
use.
(We spoke directly with Barbara Ferry on several occasions, and referenced
www.census .gov with her guidance.)
Worker Response
The impact of leaf blower use on worker health was cited by officials in San Francisco's
Department of the Environment as the most under-recoqnized public health issue in our
commun ities (See "Quotes from Officials" below.) We believe we have a responsibility
to protect workers' health and well-being, and to promote policies that do so. When
anecdotally interviewed, gardening workers have reported the following:
Topic: use oJ earpluqs or ear protection:
Q'. "Doesn't it bother you to use the blower without ear protection?"
A'."1 lost my hearing a long time ago"
A: "For the first few months all I heard in my head was buzzing-even at night. Now I
really can't hear it anymore."
A: 'l figure I'm never going to hear that good again."

A:'l get colds in the winter. But I still work.'
A: "l don't know. /f's worse in the closed spaces, when I try to breathe and there's no

Q: "You don't wear goggles, g/oves, or masks, right? Are you afraid of gefting sick?"
A: 'Yes, sometimes. I think this thing [blower] can make me sick, but I have to use it."
lmp@t of Population Data on Walkers and Exercisers
Lastly, Burlingame is a walk-friendly city. With 55% or more of residents residing in
neighborhoods during daytime hours, we can safely extrapolate that a significant
number will walk to Broadway, Burlingame Avenue or Burlingame Plaza retail
neighborhoods, or will walk, run or bicycle in neighborhoods for exercise or
transportation. ln the past year, gardeners have begun to tum down blowers when
residents walk by on sidewalks as a courtesy-a practice measured with a professional
decibel reader at the most common usage range, 89-1 10 decibels, and then dropped to
approximately 65 as the gardener steps back. But the "low" courtesy decibel range is
still at least't0 decibels over EPA safe decibel levels and gardeners often do not hear
residents approaching them. (Please see decibel report, attached.)
Though gardeners rarely use OSHA-required safe handling gear (ear protection,
goggles, sealed masks and nitrile gloves), residents who walk by active blowers are not
protected at all. Particulate matter is blown into their walk/bike/stroller path, entering
their respiratory systems, and decibels are prohibitively dangerous. For the first time
this December, just off Burlingame Avenue,we witnessed a mother with a plastic tent
coverinq her child s slroller to Brotect the childAom particulate matter.
lndoor Air Quality
The EPA notes that lndoor levels of pollutants may be two to five times hiqher than
outdoor levels. lndoor air quality ranks as one of the top five environmental dsks to
public health.'u This past year, the City of Santa Barbara instituted the most
progressive green building codes in the State, based on Built Green Santa Barbara's
recommendations. We spoke with the organization for notes on indoor air quality,
construction and particulate matter, and referenced relevant EPA data.ls
l8 wwrv.epa.gov
re ur*rv.builtqreensb.org: and in conversation with Karin Perissinotto, Executive Dtector
Green building technologies that improve indoor air quality are becoming popular in new
construction, but the benefits of such technologies (i.e. improved ventilation, air
cleaners and filters, non VOC paints, finishes, adhesives, formaldehyde-free insulation,
etc.,) are not applicable for older construction-meaning almost all of the homes in our
city. Blowers contribute poorly to indoor air quality, with particulate matter settling inside
homes and apartments, further risking our respiratory health. Closinq doors and
windows does not Drevent Darticulate m from enterino and imDactino indoor air
qualitv. The EPA further notes that 'shortterm exposure to 2.5-micron particulates
(PM2.5) can cause cardiovascular effects like congestive heart failure and mortality."

The following are quotes from officials and clean air experts on the dangers of leaf
blowers:

Board of The Silicon Valley Clean Cities Coalition , stated: "Gasoline, and even electric,

ban on use of this equipment."'

'" Quoted from http;//youthmediaproject.org, "Call to Copenhgagen."
City officials from cities who banned blowers noted that it's important to cite CLEAN AIR
and the restricting of practices which force particulate matter into our air as a foremost
priority, and to list ALL of the public health considerations listed above in our ordinance.
This approach protects the ordinance from challenge on a single count, while achieving
our goals of cleaner air, worker health, resident health, reduced particulates, lower
emissions, decibel-compliant communities, etc.
As noted above, it is also important for ordinances to be creative and forwardthinking.
Cities which banned gas-powered blowers witnessed gardeners and landscape
companies circumventing the intent of the ordinance by employing gas-powered
generators to power electric, or using methane or other fuels to power the same
blowers. Therefore, effective ordinances must specify 1) the broadest intent (clean air,
particulate matter, emissions, noise abatement, public health), 2) type of activity
restricted (debris blowing with any object), 3) decibels allowed, including residents'
ability to measure, 4) community education, 5) safe and city-approved alternatives to
blowers, and 5) effective, fair complaint and enforcement practices.
Leaf Blower Bans in Gities Similar to Ours
Up to 50 cities in California have banned leaf blowers and many more are banning
across the nation---€ither across the board or gas-powered only. Each city has
developed ordinances which vary depending on the year enacted. Those instituted ten
years ago or more tended to focus on noise abatement. Cities that enacted a ban more
recently tended to focus on clean air and particulate matter as a priority, and tended
toward banning both gas and electric blowers.
For instance, Claremont's ordinance was instituted mainly for the purpose of noise
abatement, which doesn't support protection for clean air and the public health hazards
of the machine. We were counseled by city officials there to broaden our approach to
cover ALL of our public health and environmental agendas for greater community
suppo rt and enforcement. Local cities such as Sebastopol addressed all noise
abatement issues bv banning all decibel outout over S5-essentially banning all blowers
since no manufacturers, as yet, build blowers that meet the S5{edbel EPA safe-
neighborhoods requirement. (Sebastopol will also review a specific blower ban in early
2011.)
Secondly, many early ordinances focused on fining gardeners for infractions, which has
varied in effectiveness. Most city officials agreed that allowing for the fining of
OWNERS as well as OPERATORS is a more effective and fair way to enforce the ban
and achieve outcomes. By fining owners, we shift the conversation from gardeners to
the appropriate responsible parties (i.e., those who'hire" to blow and are responsible
for practices which cause emission, particulate matter and noise pollution damage.)
Cities like Santa Monica, which shifted the issue-focus to include owners, property
managers, landscape companies and gardeners, saw a sharp increase in compliance,
and created a clear community education and responsibilityJine regarding behavior-
whether hired out or conducted-which impacts public health. (See detail in city
descriptions below.)
Cities lnterviewed
The following cities were called and/or interviewed: Claremont, Mill Valley, Los Altos,
Piedmont, Palo Alto, Menlo Park, Santa Monica, Laguna Beach, Belvedere, Santa
Barbara, Berkeley, Lawndale, and West Hollywood. The cities were chosen for their
similarity in size and/or demographic, and/or for their community appearance ethic (i.e.,
upscale community with focus on "quaint.") Notes from several of the cities' interviews
are noted here, chosen for pertinence and ordinance outcomes.
http://www.smqov.neUdepartments/ose/cateqories/landscape/leaf blower ban.aspx
Santa Monica has developed the most progressive leaf blower ban and public education
campaign of any city we interviewed. They originally banned leaf blowers for noise
abatement in 1991 . Violations were misdemeanors enforced by the P.D.-and an officer
had to see the violation taking place in order to cite. Operators would get fined, and the
ordinance was not well enforced. Residents complained and council took it up again,
asking the city manager for a new ordinance with a specific focus on, 'how can we
make this enforceable?"
Council asked that the ordinance ban both gas and electric leaf blowers, and went even
farther: they banned any motorized equipment used for leaf or debris blowing, no
matter what the machinery or the fuel source. Dean said, 'So if gardeners tried to go
out and use their edging tools to move debris, that would be a violation."
Dean noted, that like Burlingame, "Santa Monica has lots of multi-family units and it
initates neighbors having to listen to constant blower noise. Then there's the issue of
particulate mafter and air pollution. As soon as [the ordinance] went into effect we got
hundreds of calls on violations.'
They enforce by using the inspectors from their office (3 P/T people). Dean:
"lnspectors go out to a violation site, take a picture, and then send a warning letter to
the property owner. We'll also talk to the operators, and we have bilingual materials to
give to them which delineate the violations and penalties. We give them two weeks to
veriry that they're no longer using leaf blowers-they have to write the city a letter
saying they are no longer using blowers on any property in the city. lf they violate that,
then they get a citation.' Dean said that they are now revising fines, and new fines will
be $250/$500 consecutively-the same for gardeners, property managers, or owners.

(Spoke with Dean Kubani, Manager of the Office of Sustainability and the Environment,
Division of City Manage/s Office. 310 458 2213, www.sustainablesm.orq)
They decided to run the enforcement through Dean's office, using a similar model used
for other public health/environment enforcement issues (e.9., urban run-off, etc.), The
citation was changed from a misdemeanor to an administrative citation-a4qllhefi@
broadened the smpe of enforcement to allow citations of operators. landscaoinq
comoanies. propertv or home owner. and prooertv manaoers. Council unanimously
passed the ordinance. Dean: "The Council knew that the only way you're going to get
real compliance is to fine the owners and make them responsible for practices that are
affecting clean air and noise.'
Dean again: 'This is a very effective way to make sure that the people who are hired by
property owners are doing business in accordance with the law. We wrote the
ordinance so we would have the leeway to issue citations to the property owner,
property manager, landscaping company, or operators-but our focus will be on
property owners."
Dean's viewpoint on gas versus electric was a "no contest.' 1A/e banned both gas and
electric-and we went farther. We banned any kind motorized leaf or debris blowers-
any motoized machine lhat could do that work. We say 'No motorized anything.' The
only thing we allow is a vacuum for very large commercial properties, and that has to be
approved."
Lastly, the city is promoting education and alternatives. They offer a Certified
Sustainable Landscaping class, offered to gardeners in their city. Dean: "Starting in
January we're bringing in the alternatives to leaf blowers to train these guys how to use
the non-mechanized, non-polluting options. We'll be bringing all the stuff we've found to
the class and lefting these guys try them out.'
Lastly, Dean said, "There was no real resistance in our community, Gardeners have not
lost jobs, and the community is happy. The Council knew it had to do something about
this problem, and it's working."
Santa Monica. continued: pop: 84.084 Alternatives to Blowers
(Spoke with Russell Ackerman, Water Resources Specialist in Santa Monica's Office of
Sustainability. www.sustainablesm.orq/landscape;.russell.ackerman@smqov.net; (3'10)
458-8972. Russell teaches sustainable landscaping classes to the city's gardeners, and
has demonstrated altematives to leaf blowers.
Santa Monica is offered two sections of this report because its city offered the most
progressive approach by far to the issues regarding leaf blowers. Russell's original
focus for the city was on watershed management-outdoor water use and irrigation-
but Santa Monica expanded his focus to include a// landscaping, including pesticides,
air quality, leaf and debris blowers, and particularly, altematives and education on green
landscaping.
What's most notable about what Santa Monica has done is that they used their ban on
both qas and electric blowers as an opportunitv to create a market for sustainable
qardeninq. Specifically they recognized the writing on the wall: "You've got to look and
see what's coming. We're all going to have to get rid a// of our fuel-powered and
polluting equipment-including our fuel-powered cars."
His office puts on a series of 3 classes---one for landscape designers, one for installers,
and one for gardeners who maintain landscaping. They offer a certificated sustainable
landscaoe maintenance class, offered for free at the local community college, and
taught simultaneously, side by side, in Spanish and English. (Simultaneous bilingual
teaching worked best to address both workers and landscape company owners.)
Graduates of the class get a Sustainable Landscaping Certificate, which they then use
to market to the mmmunity. ln February of 20'l 1 they will offer a free class on
alternatives to leaf blowers, in which the gardeners can try out the newest lawn
sweepers and hardscape sweepers recommended by Russell's office.
"lt turns out that lawn sweepers and hardscape sweepers are just as fast as blowers,
because gardeners don't have to pick up the leaves-the sweeper does that. Plus our
guys aren't breathing dangerous particulates or pumping them into the air.'
Russell on electric versus gas: "Electric doesn't solve the particulate matter issue, or
the noise issue. And, we didn't want our landscapers to have to go out and buy electric
blowers just to have them banned in a few years for particulate matter violations. We
wanted to think ahead and get them to use the cleanest, safest, easiest products for
debris removal and only have to buy them once."
Russell again: "ln Santa Monica you can't hose, and you can't use blowers because of
the risks involved in particulate mafter, exhaust, and then, secondarily, noise violations
We asked ourselves, 'What is the alternative?' Sure, gardeners can use a rake and a
broom, and that's reasonable given the average size of plots in our city, or there is an
attachment that goes onto shovels which is designed to make sweeping up leaves
easier. But we've had the best results with leaf and lawn sweeper machines. which
work really well on turf, and with sweeoer machines like the Haaqa, which works great
on hardscape.
"Beyond the respiratory health issues, you have to consider that these guys have to
blow leaves into a pile, then move them all into a bag, and then lift them, which is not
great on the back over time. Plus no one considers the orthopedic hazards of
gardeners wearing these machines on their backs-the weight of blowers is terrible for
the workers' backs, and carrying them around for years is not good for body structure.
With the sweepers there is no back strain and the picking-up step is already
accomplished, so the time issue is really inelevant. We've found that it takes an
eoual or maroinal a mo unt mo re tim+not even enouqh to be siqnificant-to use
the sweepers."
Russell explained the sweepers: "Haaga or similar sweepers use two giant brushes for
hardscape. Leaf sweepers or lawn sweepers are like farming combines-they literally
reap up the leaves-which is what we're after to prevent the blowing up of particulate
matter. They're easy to use, lightweight, push{riven, and clean.'
What about removing leaves from shrubbery? Russell: 'The point that's driving this
argument is that leaves are a part of a natural environment. We're trying re-educate our
community to use sustainable practices. This idea that we need a hygienic garden-
that's the paradigm we're trying to break. lsn't is crazy that you pay someone to blow
this stuff into the air, blow leaves into the street and then into a pile, pack them up, then
drive them away and dump them into a dumping site, and then pay someone to bring
mulch back to your yard?'
For large scale properties, like parks, the city allows large leaf vacuums, but machines
have to be approved: "These vacuums come in all shapes and sizes and most
commercial landscaping groups will already have one. They have a hose attachment,
but are generally gas powered----so they're not eco-friendly. The problem for suburban
use is that if a vacuum can also blow debris then it's too tempting to use the blower, and
that's a violation. So we don't allow anything that blows. Currently there is a leaf
vacuum that you can fit on a Zamboni for large scale properties like schools and parks.
But we've had best results with the sweepers."
Russell. on the oolitics of b annt nob lowers and ordinance develooment:
"Our language is simple: 'No motorized leaf blowers shall be operated.' We outlawed
any machine that pollutes-we didn't outlaw any particular person or group doing
business in our city. Look at it like this: it's just like putting mufflers on cars-we
require it, yet it has nothing to do with who is driving the car. We have options for every
scale-no one is saying 'You can't pick up leaves.' Our ordinance doesn't say you have
to use a broom or an electric vacuum, it just prohibits polluting equipment."
"People will politicize this and make it about whatever their ulterior objective is-so just
keep your ordinance as simple as you can. The noise thing-l would stay away from
that-you can't find a way to enforce that effectively. Electric blowers----even the quiet
ones are still too loud to be safe."
'Just keep it simple-keep your focus on clean air, particulates, public health and
worker health. Leaf and lawn sweepers work fine for small cities like yours, and they're
just as fast as blowers. Focus on property owners and educating workers, and make
the fines steep enough to be a real deterrent--ours start at $250.00. Otherwise people
willjust ignore the ordinance."
Claremont instituted their ban in the early 1990's, and according to Ms. Newman, they
were not clear in their purpose, and it has not benefitted the community as the
department would have hoped. They did not delineate that their purpose was both air
oualitv and noise abatement. She urged us to craft our ordinance covering clean air,
worker health, public health, fossil fuel use, etc-i.e., cover all the bases.
Their ordinance banned gas-powered blowers only, but allowed for generators. So
now, gardeners haul generators to power electric blowers and no clean air or overall
noise reduction goals are achieved. Enforcement is a fix-it ticket of $100 for an initial
infraction, assessed against gardeners, and the requirement to apply for a business
license if they do not have one. Ms. Newman agreed that the ticket needs to be higher
to be a deterrent. She also agreed that shifting the enforcement focus to owners would
be much more effective. When fining gardeners, Claremont had to address fining an
individual worker versus a business owner, and oftentimes the gardening business
owner was not on-site at the time of the infraction.
At the time the ordinance was approved, the city sent outreach flyers to gardeners
(those who were licensed), and cruised the city passing out flyers. Their ordinance is
complaint-based and enforced through the P.D.
Glaremont. pop: 30.000
(Spoke with Bell Newman, Principal Planner in the Community Development Office.
909.399.544'l . www.ci.claremont.ca.us)
Los Altos' banning ordinance was enacted about'10 years ago and was written as an
abatement ordinance for noise pollution, banning gas-powered blowers. (Noise
abatement codes are a large part of their municipal code,) Enforcement is managed by
a code enforcement officer working through the P.D.'s office. Enforcement is mmplaint-
driven-they don't proactively go out after gardeners-although if there are blatant
violations that occur in front of an officer, the officer can advise about the ban, issue a
warning, ortake enforcement action. The infraction is on the operator (not the property
owner) and costs $100: i.e., a regular municipal code infraction. lf the code
enforcement officer is not available, the P.D. will dispatch an officer-they're not an
overburdened P.D., and can usually send an officer out. lf the violator is not there by
the time an officer arrives, the code enforcement officer will send a violation notice to
the resident (an advisory notice, or a "warning" that this type of activity is forbidden by
municipal code.)
Compliance has been good to moderate-Tuck guesses they're at about 75-80% or
more compliant. "We have a lot of our community complying. They use electric, and
those blowers are quieter, but that's a noise-abatement focus, not a clean-air focus."
He said that people often new hire gardeners who don't know about the ban, and the
city has to be active in its enforcement-
"lt's a very affluent community here, so if we were going after homeowners we'd use a
$500 fine, too, or something close, but l'm sure l'd have residents argue that they're
hiring a contractor and are not responsible." I asked if their city can cite a property
owner for hired workers who dump paint down storm drains, or who improperly dispose
of waste water, asbestos, or other public health infractions, and he said yes, owners can
be cited. (Our argument would be that owners elq responsible for hired worker
practices that affect public health.)
He said that the issue of worker health has not been raised, and is a very pertinent
issue. "The only workers in our city who are fully outfitted with goggles, ear protection,
and paper masks are our city crews-because it's required by OSHA. But in practice,
our local workers aren't using them at all. It's a hazard."
"Over time, we found electric blowers to be as hazardous as gas-powered, and we now
believe we should have banned them as well." They advised no use of generators or
blowers in any form.
Los Altos. pop: 28.349
(Spoke with Tuck Younis, Police Chief for Los Altos, 650.947.2824.
tvounis@losaltosca.oov. Referred by Doug Schmidt, City Manager, 650.947 .2740)
"What we've seen is gardeners getting around the ordinance by using gas-powered
generators to power their electric blowers-which does nothing to protect the air. But
the pitch of the generator is lower, so it's perceived as less of a noise pollution issue-
even though the generators are still just as noisy. The funniest thing we've seen is a
gardener sticking a cord in his back pocket and letting it drag on the ground to make it
look like he was using an electric blower. So you've got to be on top of this."
Tuck again: "There is some concem among officials about being criticized-that is,
accusations that bans are racially driven-and a segment of the community who feels
this is a useless law, but-you're right-no one's approached this from a workers'
health angle or the responsibility of property owners' practices impacting public health."
Tuck agreed that a focus on worker health, public health and clean air "makes sense"
and asked for a copy of this report. "This is sure to come up for us again."
Piedmont.p:10.952
Geoffrey L. Grote City Administrator qqrote@ci.piedmont.ca.us (510) 420-3042. Spoke
at length with John O. Tulloch, lnterim City Clerk / MIS Manager
itulloch@ci.piedmont.ca.us (510) 420-3041
Piedmont's ordinance passed in March of 1990. The City Council put a referendum on
the ballot in February of 1990 asking voters "should we ban leaf blowers?" lt passed by
almost 60%. The ordinance banned gas-powered only under their noise ordinance-
banning blower use for leaves, debris, sidewalks , lawns, etc. When the ordinance was
enacted, fines were for violating the noise ordinance and were very low, set at
$20l$40/$50 citations. John spoke with the P.D. on our behalf, noting that they don't
have a code enforcement officer, so the P.D. handles complaints. Officers respond to a
call-their program is complaint-driven-and often gardeners report being unaware of
the ordinance and are given a first warning. John reported that "compliance is very,
very, good. We haven't had any backlash, and residents abide by the ordinance. lt's
been this way for twenty years now, so it's just the way it is here."
John continued: "Our Council was advised that it be put on the ballot because even 20
years ago it was a sensitive issue. But almost 60% voted to ban." John agreed that a
code enforcement officer may be more effective, given that noise calls are a lesser
priority for the P.D. than calls for imminent harm or danger.
Gas generators have not been used to power electric blowers in Piedmont-people
generally abide by the intention of the ordinance. Their ordinance does require an
officer to see a gardener using a blower-which makes it impractical to enforce at times
because gardeners are gone by the time an officer arrives or they leave if they know a
complaint has been called in. He advised crafting the ordinance so that the infraction
does not have to be witnessed. (See Palo Alto's notes.)
John liked the idea of a website with photos to assist the P.D., and of writing a ticket to
property owners-noting that property owners would probably like "a more step-friendly
approach to the enforcement-rneaning they get a warning, then a $250 fine, then
progressively higher fines for non-compliance." Fining gardeners at $100, he noted,
seems to be enough of a financial deterrent.
John again: "\y'y'e've had very, very, good compliance. Gardeners have not lost jobs,
and the community seems to be happy about it." Lastly, he noted that when we're
pricing fines, we might want to consider the court fees, if our fines are routed through
the court system (vs. an administrative citation.)
Palo Alto, pop: 59,395
(Spoke with Acting Assistant Police Chief, Mark Venable, 650.329 2232.)
Palo Alto banned blowers in May of 2000, banning gas-powered in residential areas.
They did not ban in commercial zones. Palo Alto is unique in how it went about
banning: they imposed a moratorium on blowing for one year, to study outcomes, and
then enacted the ordinance in 2001 . The final ordinance was much the same as the
initial ban with very few changes.
The issue was contested in Palo Alto-mainly by manufacturers who saw the trend in
cities to ban their products. Rep's came from across the country to demonstrate their
newer models, which in Assistant Police Chief Mark Venable's view, were not notably
improved. City officials also met with the Bay Area Gardeners Association in Redwood
City, and noted a flat refusal in most instances by companies and individual business
owners to improve their technology and buy new, quieter, less polluting blowers. They
concluded that improved technology was not the answer, and banning was appropriate.
Mark noted that all of these machines are rated for noise and emissions, but none of
these "air moving' machines solved the particulate matter issue. A couple of
manufacturers demonstrated vacuum machinery, but many of these were gas-powered.
Mark said, 'There were a lot of promises by manufacturers, but we didn't really see that
they [blowers] were solving the noise or air quality problems."
He did suggest that Santa Barbara's policy of allowing only certain kinds of electric
machines (he suggested vacuum-only) that cannot operate over certain decibels (and
banning all others from being so/d in town) was a good idea. He also liked the idea of
requiring gardeners to have a large, visible sticker put on their city-approved machines,
with annual renewal required. 'We did consider that in Palo Alto."
The Bay Area Gardeners Association claimed that the ban would be a hardship, but as
Mark noted, no one has been addressing the issue of worker health. They focused on
lengthy time studies, but didn't address the issue of disease risks OR the fact that
gardeners in cities who banned did not lose jobs.
Mark said, "At end of day, the move to ban went through focusing on three things: 1)
noise/quality of life was a major centerpiece, 2) particulate matter was second, and 3)
environment and emissions was third. They all kind of won in one way or another.'
When the ordinance did get enacted they decided to go with electric leaf blowers-and
"they sort of let the issue of particulate matter go away-and emissions by de factor
didn't go away either. So now they allow gas powered generators [to power electric
blowersl-which create more emissions, and just as much noise, and pollute even
more. Even at City Hall gardeners come in with a generator on wheels. So it's kind of
hypocritical."
The Council revisited the ordinance in 2004 and decided to keep it. They devoted a full-
time code enforcement officer to do nothing but enforce this ordinance, and they wrote
about 350-380 citations per year. lt was highly effective and compliance was extremely
high.
"Our residents just weren't having it anymore. They'd had enough of the noise. We
really had to do something." They use an administrative citation rather than a criminal
onHTeaning they can still cite for the infraction even if an officer didn't witness it.
The city's largest problem was with large corporations that run gardening crews who
would "hit an area and say, 'blow and just deal with it.'' Mark: "The mid-sized and
individual guys were more cooperative, but the companies who would rather spend
$1000 on fines than upgrade their equipment or stop blowing. They took the attitude of
'make me [stop].' So having a centralized enforcement model worked. Our officer got
to know all lhe companies and would track them down and enforce the ordinance.'
Mark noted that citing individuals, where a company is paying the fine, must be
addressed at the 1) individual, 2) property owner and 3) company level. ln other words,
our ordinance needs to be flexible enough to fine the worker, the property owner and
the company. Violations start at $'100 per citation and go up, but Mark said it would be
smart to increase those amounts for property owners and companies.
With regard to gardener enforcement, often it was about education-workers coming
from other areas and not being aware of the ordinance. [Which is another reason to
shift the burden of responsibility to property owners.l
Mark: "Gardeners are predictable-they will usually be at the same places every day-
so we gave a lot of warnings, and could cite them rather easily for repeat infractions.
And, $100 fine is steep for most of these guys, so it's a deterrent while still being
judicious. Bay Area Gardeners was helpful in telling gardeners what equipment was
best to buy-but without the city or an organization brokering small business loans to
get to the next technology, these guys will try to use the same 2-stroke machines. Still,
we wrote a lot of citations, we had a hotline, a recorder, and a guy [code enforcement
officerl who got to know the gardeners to the point where he could issue citations for
repeat violations and know the history.'
1Ne wanted to make a statement: 'This is what our community expects of you if you
want to do business here.'"
Regarding flnes, blower fines had the lowest payment of any city fines. Palo Alto has a
process that goes through collections and then the franchise tax board, and if violators
are still not compliant they will take them to court and prosecute as a misdemeanor.
Through the last set of budget cuts Palo Alto has cut the enforcement officer and the
P.D. is now handling complaints. They use a non-emergency line, educate officers,
who go out on calls and take it as far as they can. Mark is currently monitoring the new
program for effectiveness.
One of Palo Alto's council members asked how they can help with enforcement, and the
P.D. suggested a three-tiered fine system at $100/$150/$300 to give support to the
ordinance. Council adopted that and it has worked, giving discretion to officers who are
enforcing. 'For individuals or companies who will scoff at the law, who say, "make me,"
we can fine as high as $300. lf that doesn't work, we can use criminal proceedings.
Lastly, Mark agreed that having a website that allowed residents to send in video or
photos of violations would be helpful,' but it's important that there is some consistency
on the back end to enforce this.' He suggested an administrative approach, with no
requirement for an officer to witness, and then use of a website andior hotline for
violations. "But it's important that you state at the outset what the response expectation
will be. Just because someone sent in their video three hours ago doesn't mean the
P-D. can get to it immediately. So building in clear expectations is central to making this
work. And you really need a point person.'
Laquna Beach , pop: 24.000
(Spoke with City Manager, Ken Frank, 949.497.0704)
Laguna Beach banned BOTH gas and electric blowers city-wide for 1) dusUdebris and
particulate matter, and 2) noise abatement. Ken said that there was lots of opposition
at first, but they achieved 90% compliance. The challenge in their community was sand
on piers and sidewalks, and since city workers do the cleaning, there was some initial
resistance. They have achieved community satisfaction, and have not reported any
gardener job loss. The ordinance is enforced through the police department, with
infractions cited as misdemeanors, and fines starting at $50 and going up. Ken felt the
fines were too low to be a deterrent and would try to raise them if instituting an
ordinance now. He felt that a focus on clean air was the "most important thing," and
advised us to focus our ordinance on that topic as a priority.
Mill Valley has had a banning ordinance for "quite a few years', and it was originally
instituted as a noise abatement ordinance. Originally, to enforce the ordinance, the city
sent out a notice to landscapers that have business licenses (she noted that many have
no licenses), to let them know that a ban was in effect. The city banned gas-powered
blowers only, not electric.
Enforcement is complaintdriven, and the code enforcement officer (Denise Stoneham)
offers flyers to neighbors to notify gardeners and property owners that the ban is in
effect. Neighbors are then able to put a flyer in a neighboring property owner's front
door or box, or can hand one to a gardener or neighbor. lf it's a continued problem the
city uses the police department to enforce the ordinance. (Iheir code enforcement
officer works half time only.) Lin Walsh, Assistant to the City Manager, said they have
not had a problem with compliance. Using flyers (in Spanish and English) to hand to
neighbors or gardeners 'has allowed residents to warn their neighbors in an easy, non-
confrontational way. People generally understand that these things [blowers] are not
good for our community.'

(Spoke with Liz Miller, Building Department, Public lnformation, and Lin Walsh,
Assistant to the City Manager. (415) 3884033. citvclerk@cityofmillvallev.oro.)
Ms. Guzman said that Santa Barbara has 90% compliance on their banning ordinance.
They banned all gas-powered blowers and placed time, noise, and use restrictions on
electric blowers. They also banned all SALES of electric leaf blowers that registered at
noise levels higher than 65 decibels. All electric leaf blowers have to be registered and
wear a sticker on the machine, renewed yearly. Operation without a sticker is an
infraction. Their ordinance is complaint-driven, and enforced through the P.D.
Lt. Doug Kresky of S.B.P.D. offered some valuable insights on enforcement. The Lt.
said that given police priorities, leaf blowers fall last on the list of enforcement, and it
can be a 34 hour wait before officers can address the complaint. ln practice, most
complaints get ignored. He suggested enforcing the ordinance through the Code
Enforcement Officer's office. He agreed that 'chasing down gardeners" was not
effective, and that making the owners responsible is the proper way to approach this
issue. Then complaints can be documented or photographed by neighbors, and any
time delay will not affect enforcement. He also agreed that fines need to be steep
enough to be a deterrent, suggesting a warning, then a $500 fine assessed to the
property owner.
Lastly, if regulating vs. banning is an objective, he suggested using only electric with no
qas-oowered qenerators allowed, and enforcing time constraints for neighborhood use.
"That way people can at least know when to get out of their houses. lt's not a constant
threat." He suggested that the city be divided based on police beats, i.e., blowing
allowed in only one, four-hour period per week, per beat. For example, electric blowing
would be allowed on Mondays 9-1 pm for beat A, Mon '14 pm for beat B, etc., Tues 9-1
for beat C, with no blowing on Friday afternoons, weekends or holidays. He agreed that
regulating does not achieve clean air goals and banning should be our primary aim.
flhis suggestion was also given by an official in the Santa Rosa D.A.'s office.]
Berkeley. pop: 105,000
(Spoke with Manuel Ramirez, Environmental Health Department, 510.98'1.5261,
www.ci.berkely.ca.us)
Berkeley banned gas-powered leaf blowers in the late'80's for noise abatement. Their
ordinance is complainldriven, and it is "up to the environmental health team to go out
and catch folks.' They look for a name on a gardening truck or on the door of a pick-
up, and then send a letter to the business owner as a first warning, He says that many
workers are non-English speaking, and so this policy is largely ineffective. [Other cities
send notices in both Spanish and English.l He also agreed that the burden of
enforcement would be more fairly placed upon property owners rather than gardeners.
They have close to 100% compliance in the city and a bit less in residential
neighborhoods with no reported job loss. They cannot enforce at local schools or at the
university (due to'sovereign immunity"), so he suggested that our outreach include a
"green" component to encourage voluntary compliance by the schools.
The community was very supportive, and workers 'mostl/ comply. lnfractions are
based on blowing being "witnessed' by the environmental team, which is not always
effective, and fines range from $100 - $300. He agreed that higherfineswould bea
better deterrent, and that fining property owners would be "more fair and effective."
QuietOrin da.com
Residents in the city of Orinda recently banded together to make a video on the hazards
of leaf blowers (on the home page of www.quietorinda.com). The video reports that
blowers pump 30% of raw fuel into the air, along with fecal mafter, metals, molds, fungi,
spores, herbicides and pesticides. Michael Kron, M.D. [quoted from the video] states,
"Closing doors and windows does not protect from these particles." Regarding anxiety
disorders caused by blowers, Dr. Kron states, 'People will report feeling increased heart
rates, feeling their chest pounding, their heart pounding..." Asthma affects 45 million
children annually, representing 15o/o of all children, with over 5,000 asthma-related
deaths reported each ye,?r. Leaf blowers are cited as having a causal relationship to
this respiratory disease.'"
Workers and Race
Workers in some communities have protested the bans, calling them racist. Given that
gardeners are a largely Hispanic group, this charge is causing some officials to back
down on bans. But officials must concem themselves with worker health-a public
health issue, for sure-and the attendant effects of blower use on the entire community.
It is our contention that Worker Health g!@ held as a priority, and that the burden of
responsibility falls to PROPERTY OWNERS and officials, not workers. We also believe
that enforcement responsibility should focus on OWNERS first, and not gardening
workers, and our ordinance enforcement suggestions are focused as such. Chasing
down gardeners is not our objective. Making our community safe for both residents and
workers is.
It is property owners who have set the standard for "every leaf removed", and are now
riskinq their workers' health in order to achieve an unrealistic "quainf ethic. We
believe that it is indeed oppressive for middle- and upper-class property owners to risk
our (mostly) Hispanic and low-income gardeners' health in order to move leaves and
debris. Will these same owners support a raise in their taxes to cover the county health
costs that will surely emerge from the effects of prolific blower use on their workers?
We don't believe so.
We're clear th atc ities and counties will bear the burden of workers' resoiratorv
diseases. hearino loss and stress disorders within a few short years.lndeed, common
sense should tell us that there is no possible way for a human being to breathe
emissions (NO2) and particulate matter up close, all day long, five or six days a week,
and not be negatively affected. There is no way for workers to run machinery that
regularly exceeds WHO and EPA safe decibel standards and keep their hearing intact.
County health budgets are not flush with funds, and flooding the system with a largely
uninsured group of workers in the next decade will surely cause a crisis in health
delivery services and an epidemic of untreated worker diseases.
We also believe that we are a// responsible for clean, unpolluted, non-toxic air, and that
no one group of owners or workers should be able to risk our whole community's health
because of convenience-anymore that we would allow our diverse home painters to
dump paint down city drains that flow into the Bay, or allow construction workers-also
a diverse, working class group-to dump asbestos into landfills because it's easier.
2s
Quoted from the video
Even on a neighborhood level, we expect technology users to use proper recycling cites
when they replace their old computer equipment and to abide by new recycling
instructions-even if it's more difficult. ln other words, if it affects our public health, then
it has to be about our health first.
Enforcement
Officials from numerous cities reported that it's important to clarify ALL of our purposes
in our ordinance to help support enforcement, i.e., clean air, particulate matter,
emissions reductions, respiratory disease prevention, worker health, "carbon footprint",
noise pollution, stress-disease prevention, clean storm drains/clean water, etc.
Clarification of all of these purposes supports not only enforcement, but community
outreach.
Every city official interviewed (whether they cited "clean ai/' in their ordinance originally
or not) encouraged us to do so in ours. lt will be important for us to note that cities
banning blowers report 80-100% compliance and no job loss for gardeners. We
encourage outreach and education of property owners, in particular, to relinquish
unrealistic standards of "every leaf removed" for public health, environmental health and
worker health.
From our gleanings from the lessons of cities imposing bans, we are proposing the
following items for Burlingame's enforcement policies:
BAN ON BOTH GAS AND ELECTRIC:
This approach is recommended with an incentive to gardene/s to become Certified
Sustainable Gardeners through a city-sponsored free class.
1 . Gas and electric blowers are banned for worker health , public health, clean air,
particulate matter reductions, emissions reductions, noise pollution, stress and
respiratory disease prevention, storm drain cleanliness, clean water, and
reduction of fossil fuel use.
2. No qas-powered qenerators are permitted: no generators, 2-stroke, 4-stroke,
generator-to-electric or any other pressurized air debris-moving devices are
permitted, with or without generators. (lncludes using edgers or weed wackers to
blow debris.)
Enforcement:
3
4
. All enforcement is run through the Code Enforcement Officer's department
Enforcement is complaint-based. and uses a website form at, allowing uploads
of photos.(Complaint sends photo of 1) address and 2) blower use on that
property. Per Gus, our ordinance needs to specify that photos must document
blower activity on the actual oroperN, not neighboring or bordering properties, or
street gutters. Face-recognition is not pertinent or necessary; activity on property
is. Photos can be taken from the street with no trespassing violations.)
5. lnfractions are administrative not criminal (though can proceed to criminal with
Mach inerv:
repeated non-compliance-see Palo Alto example.)
6. Owners are cited with infractions, which per Ed, keeps the P.D. from having to
go out on leaf blower on calls, or witness violations. (Though Ed said the P.D.
will do whatever Council directs them to do.) Ordinance gives flexibility to cite
property owners, property managers, landscape company owners, and
gardeners-but focus is on property owners to keep enforcement staff time to a
minimum.
7. lnfractions are misdemeanors, with one warning sent at first violation, and fines*
set thereafter at $250/$500/$750 for owner/property managers, $500i$750/$1000
for companies, and $100/$'l 50i$300 for gardeners if witnessed by an officer.
B. Non-compliant workers or companies cannot renew business licenses without
pavinq fines, and can be fined for doing business without a license.
9. City provides EIE in both English and Spanish that neighbors can give to
violating neighbors (i.e., flyers state that leaf blowers are banned and that fines
are exacted for violation-a non-confrontational approach. See Mill Valley
example.)
l0.Education and outreach: Ordinance and outreach is written to build in
reasonable expectations for response time, explaining goals and objectives for
best community outcomes. We suggest a one-week turn-around time offering
plenty of time for response from website/code enforcement. (Goal is to build in
the expectation that residents will not get an immediate response and officers will
not be sent to the site. Since code enforcement has all records, all that's
required is a form letter attached to a photo, then mailed. Hardware includes a
photo printer and paper.)
1 1 .Worker Education/Alternatives: Ci ty offers a free Certified Sustainable
Landscape/Maintenance class, and encourages marketing of Sustainable
Gardening practices. City offers classes which demonstrate clean, sustainable
leaf sweepers for both hardscape and turf. (See Santa Monica's approach
above. Santa Monica has staff that will come and demo these options to us in a
Council Study session.)
'12. Offer Siqns to residents to support our Clean Air objectives which read, "Another
neighbor for Clean Air: We Banned the Leaf Blower," or "Thank Usl We Banned
the Leaf Blowerl" Signs can be offered for a nominal fee, created like campaign
signage, and generating a'feel-good' movement for Clean Air in our cig, and
support for reducing climate change from emissions.
New Technoloqv:
13.After a one-year moratorium on gas and electric blowers, Electric vacuum
machinery could be reviewed with further Council study, with a provision for
machines that max out at 55 decibels or less. lf enacted , a list of allowed
machines would be created, and each and every permitted vacuum machine
would be required to have a visible sticker aftached to it, acquired through the
code enforcement office for a nominal fee (e.9., $25). No machinery that has
duel blowing/vacuum action would be allowed, and no gas-powered generators
or accessories would be permitted. We would further sugg est restrictinq the
sale of anv non-compliant machinerv in Burlingame, just as Santa Barbara
did. Vacuum machinery would be reviewed by the CEC, for report to Council,
with any acceptable findings.
*City officials in cities with bans encouraged us to make the fines steep enough to
create a genuine enforcement detenent in each category of workers, owners and
companies.
BAN ON GAS-POWERED ONLY
We surmise, from the research listed in this report, that PM (particulate matter) and
NO2 (Nitrous Oxide from emissions) will prohibit use of even electric powered blowers
shortly (dangers documented by EPA, BAAQM, etc.) Though we recommend banning
both gas and electric as the healthiest choice, we list this option as a stepping stone.
We believe we should encourage gardeners to buy the safest equipment (sweepers),
and buy them only once. That said, we recommend the following for a gas-only ban.
'l . Gas-powered blowers are banned for worker health , public health, clean air,
particulate matter reductions, emissions reductions, noise pollution, stress and
respiratory disease prevention, storm drain cleanliness, clean water, and
reduction of fossil fuel use.
2. No qas-powered qe nerators are Dermifted: no electric , 2-stroke, 4-stroke or
any other debris-moving devices are permitted to be powered by gas generators.
lncludes use of any gas powered tool (like edgers or weed wackers) to blow
debris-
Enforcement:
Enforcement remains the same as the above-listed gas and electric ban with the added
provision of set times for blower use for noise abatement.
1 . Noise abatemenUparticulate mafter "beats" for blower use: The city is
divided into'beats" and blowing is allowed in no more than two four hour periods.
For instance, in beat A, electric blower use is permifted on Mondays and
Thursdays from 9-1pm; beat B on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 14 pm, etc.)
(Noise abatemenVparticulate matter beats allow residents to leave home within
reasonable time frames to avoid noise pollution and particulate matter ingestion.)
2. A list of allowed machines would be created, and each permitted electric
machine would be required to have a visible sticker (visible from the street)
attached to it, acquired through the code enforcement office for a nominal fee
(e.9., $25). We would further suggest restrictinq the sale of anv non-
compliant machinerv in Burlingame, as listed above.
New Teqhnqloqy:
1. After a one-year moratorium on gas blowers, Council reserves the right to ban
electric blowers for particulate matter dangers, or if approved vacuum technology
has been identified at safe decibel levels.
Arquments Eor and Aqainst:
The following are common arguments made by residents and gardeners, with
suggested answers.
1. 'l'm not home when leaf blowers are going, so what's the problem? I like coming
home and having every leaf off my lawn."
This common response is indicative of our need to educate our community about
the public health hazards of blowers-much in the same way we've educated our
community about the need for recycling, or hybrid and electric cars, The if-we-
Machinerv:
can't-see-it-we're-notresponsible-for-it argument is naive at best, and
irresponsible at worst. We do have a responsibility to our air quality, our worker
health, our public health and the impact of daytime gardening practices on our
children and our neighbors.
2. 'lt's racist to ban blowers.'
communifu of Hispanic qardeners, with o concern for their workino conditions or
their lonq{erm health. The fact that their health needs are considered invisible
and a non-issue by owners speaks for itself. Secondly, when a community
practice negatively affects public health, we must address the issue from that
vantage point----even if we must go to greater lengths to protect our community,
our workers and our environment. Our recycling program is a case in point. lt
takes more time, more effort and more funds to recycle, but we commit to it
because our future health (both familial and environmental) depends upon it.
Thirdly, we don't consider it discriminatory to require diverse workers or property
owners to expend the extra effort to dispose of paints (not down storm drains),
asbestos (not in landfills), etc., properly, when dangerous practices have
negatively affected public health. Our clean air and respiratory health are of no
less a concern.
3. "My yard's too big to do without blowers."
The bigger the yard, the bigger the health hazard-for workers and for neighbors.
We conducted informal interviews with homeowners in nearby Hillsborough,
where property plots are much larger than in Burlingame. The noise, dust, and
particulate matter issues are multiplied exponentially with larger homes. Up to
three blowers at a time work larger properties, for double and triple the amounts
of hazardous effects on the neighborhood. We wouldn't assume that a resident
who commutes 2 hours a day instead of 30 minutes should be exempted from his
or her impact on our air quality because of the need to travel farther. (For large
commercial properties, or parks, we can utilize Santa Monica's approach.)
4. 'l don't notice any air or pollution issues in Burlingame. What's the problem?'
5. "l should be able to use whatever I want to keep the leaves off my property."
What's discriminatorv, we believe. is for a communifu of middle- and upper-class
orooertv owners to perpetuate a disease-creatinq health hazard on an entire
While our evening fog and northern California cool evening temperature may lull
us into believing that blowers and fossil fuel burning car engines are "not really
an issue,'science tells us otherwise. Ultimately, we have to believe what
science is telling us: that we're ruining our environment, our ozone, and our
breathing air; that we're contributing to cancer and disease by driving cars and
operating machinery (like blowers) that burn fossil fuels. Carbon emissions,
particulate matter and their attendant diseases are not matters to slough off to
the next generation because we don't wish to be inconvenienced now. Once
again, we do have a responsibility to worker health and public health, and it's a
serious one.
We recognize, as a community, that our individual practices impact the greater
good of our city and our world. Once again, our recycling requirements are an
example of policy shifts instituted to protect long term public health through
environmental responsibility. No one individual or group should be allowed to
negatively risk the breathing air, noise levels and proper brain, heart, auditory,
etc. functioning of an entire community. We live in a community of shared
resources. and blowers negatively affected those resources.
6. "People should just go inside and close their windows and doors when my
gardeners are here. They can get triple pane windows if they don't like it."
The use of blowers in Burlingame-especially in apartment, condo and bungalow
neighborhoods-is so prolific that they are operative at all hours of the day, and
even on Saturdays and Sundays. Secondly, researchers have demonstrated
that closing windows and doors does not protect against particulate matter-
poisonous substances blown into our breathing spaces by leaf blowers. Thirdly,
"shared resources" means just that: we have to do what's best for all those who
are in neighborhoods during the dafiime.
7. "My kids aren't really at risk."
Childhood asthma kills over 5,000 children per year in America. Blowers
contribute to and cause respiratory disease. Need we say more?
Community Outreach
Burlingame is uniquely positioned to take a stand for clean air and the public health
benefits of banning leaf blowers. Our community's awareness of "all things green' has
increased geometrically in the past several years, and we believe we will have strong
community support as this ordinance is brought foruvard. With a broad focus on worker
health, clean air, particulate matter, emissions reductions, and our climate change plan,
we can change our cities' gardening practices to new, sustainable ones. We also know
that the CEC and City Council can play a central role in educating our community about
this ordinance. Strategies, as noted above, might include slogan signs offered to
property owners placed in yards, classes as noted to gardeners, flyers, press, etc.
We'll want to work with the local publications, libraries, internet sites and message
boards to achieve the outreach needed to gain wide-spread compliance.
Officials
Lastly, several public officials have been contacted about leaf blower bans from whom
we might gain public support. Congresswoman Jackie Speier and her ofiice, County
Board of Supervisor Carol Groom, and State Assemblyman Jerry Hill, among others,
have all been contacted and have acknowledged the need in our local communities.
Neighboring communities are already beginning leaf blower ban ordinances, and we
can coordinate our efforts with them to achieve as much regional support as possible.
Clean Air projects and Reduced Emissions campaigns have also been contacted to
suppo( our city's ban, and will offer support. Many officials have already offered
endorsements.
ln Closinq
ln the next decade all things "green" will be upon us. Certainly clean air, clean water,
emissions, fossil fuel use, air and noise pollution will be among the topics our city is
faced with. Worker health and health care for the uninsured or underinsured will
continue to be an issue for county health services. Banning leaf blowers is a huge step
in the right direction for our community's public health and the health of our
environment. Our commitment to do so is not only visionary and 'green," it's also the
right thing to do for Burlingame's continued good health-both for our workers and our
residents.
Thank you.

hospital property areas-this report offers a quick inside view of one neighborhood, on two given days at random times,
as a window into the constant noise threat in all our neighborhoods.
Please note that the times listed are RANDOM, not comprehensive, and that blowers are active more often than the times
Iisted. Use times range from '1-2 hours per blower, sometimes longer.
Also note that the measurements listed are 1) measured with a professional decibel reader from a street-facing apt at
Floribunda and Almer, and 2) measured at approximate outdoor distances of 5 feet, 20 feet, 50 feet, and 1 city block away
from active blower use.

Sannple Ordinance banning gas-pouered blowers onlg
CITY OF BI,'RLINGAME LEAF BLOWER AND AIR-MOVING DEVICE ORDINANCE:
A [.eaf Blowers.
Use of fuel- and gas-powered leaf blowers and debris-movers shall be unlawful in the city of
Burlingame as of August 1, 2011.
B. Public Health and Safety.
Elimination of all fuel-and gas-powered leaf blowers and fuel-powered debris moving machines
addresses several ofthe following public health and safety issues associated with propelled-air
blower use:
r. Worker health - respiratory issues, tissue damage, heaing loss, stress disorders.
z. Particulate matter -pestrttiCes, merarry, arsenic, cadmium, animalfeces etc., bloton
into air bg blotoer; causes respiratory dkease,
3. Resident respiratory health - osthma, emphgsema, etc. in children, seniors, residents
uho exercbe or toolk outdoors.
4. Carbon emis sions - high larck of carbon emissions from proli.fic blotuer use .
5. Fossil fuel dependency - thousonds of gallons used in our citg each useek
6. Decibel levels and violations, noise abatement - common blouer use at 50% greater
dB's than WHO and EPA reammendations for safe neighborhoods ; stress disorders ,
high blood pressure, hypertenston, etc., resulttng.
7. Storm drains and clean water - particulate matter bloun into storm drahts.
8. County health budgets - uninsured and under-itsured uorker diseases; health iswes
cansed bg and contributed to by leaf blouers.
g. Improper use of machinery: blouer debris propelled. into neighboing properties, storm
drains, on-coming tr afic.
C, Ordinance defined.
Prohibition in Residential Tnnes:
r. Definitions: A gas or fuel-powered leafblower is defined as ary motorized tool used to
propel fallen leaves and debris for removal, powered by gas or any other kind of fuel or
substance.
z. It shall be unlawfirl to utilize gas- and fuel-powered leaf blowers, and gas or fuel-
powered air or debris moving machines in the city of Burlingame as of August 1, 2011,
withi:r z5o feet of any residential zone in the City. No metlane, propane, diesel or any
other fuels or alternate substances may be used to pow-er fuel-based air or leaf blowers.
3. It shall be unlawdrl to utilize other gas- or fuel-based equipment to move debris or
leaves, including but not limited to weed wackers, edgers or fuel-powered air movers of
any kind. No methane, propane, diesel or any other fuels or alternate substances may
be used to power fuel-based machinery used to move or blow debris.
4. It shall be unlawfi:l to utilize gas- or fuel-powered generators to power elecEic blowers
or any other air-moving devices. No met-hane, propane, diesel or any other fuels or
alternate substances may be used to power fuel-based generators.
D. Use of Electric Leaf Blowers.
Electric blowers are to be utilized as a stop-gap measure, until such time as vacuum operated,
safe decibel, commercial and home use machinery is developed and accessible. Electric blowers
will be perrnitted with the acknowledgement that they do not prevent many of the dangers
associated with blowing debris, insluding respiratory disease contributed to by particulate
matter, clean air and water objectives, and safe neighborhood decibel levels.
Electric blowers, (corded and battery operated) with a total, maximum decibel output of no
$eater than 65 decibels are therefore pernitted in the City, in accordance with the following
regulations:
r. Machinery. The use of electric leaf blowers which are manufactured to meet or exceed
the Noise l,evel Standards of 65 decibel maximum output are permitted for use in all
areas ofthe City under the below-listed conditions. (65 decibels represents a
measurement from a distance of fifty feet utilizing American National Standard Institute
methodolory, and certified by manufacturer.)
z. Risk associated. In accordance with researcher data presented to Council, regular
pluming of particulate matter is dangerous to respiratory health, causing respiratory
disease in both workers and residents. Workers are also at risk for respiratory dissa5s
and damage from NOz and particulates fiom prolific use. Additionally, decibel levels of
over 55 are also dangerous, contributing to auditory issues and stress disorders,
including high blood pressure, hypertension, etc. Therefore, use time restrictions shall
apply to electric blower use.
3. Use time. To reduce particulates in the air, electric blowers may be utilized once per
week, per horneowner property, by homeowner or professional gardener,
for a total use tirne ofnot rnore than r hour per individual property. Up to
two operators may utilize electric blowers on any given property, including apartment
complexes.
4. Neighborhood 'beats" or precincts. Based on the above-stated risks, and noting that
electric blowers are a stop-gap measure until appropriate and safe technology is
accessible, time restrictions shall apply to use of electric leaf blowers, allowing periods
of no-blower use in neighborhoods. Dormalt blower hours allow particulate
matter to "settle," protecting against respiratory diseases. Time reshictions allow
residents to protect themselr,es against dangers durhg active blower use hours.
ElecEic blower use rnay occur one tirne per week per property, in either of
THREE assigned time slots. Up to two electric blowers rnay be used on any

American Lung Association, the Environmental Protection dency, and Bay Area Air Qualip
Management District.
5. Certification. Owners and operators of electric leaf blowers will present their equipment
to any professional of the Cenhal County Fire Deparbnent, [OR WE CAN USE A PARKS
AND RECREATION TO CERTIFYI with an application and nominal fee of $ro.oo per
machine, for noise testing according to ANSI testing criteria in the Noise Ievel
Standards. [.eaf Blowers which generate 65 decibels or less according to the test wi]l be
issued a certification sticker, which is valid for one year following the date of testing. The
sticker is applied to the machinery, and is visible from the street, assuring neighbors that
approved machinery is being used.
Testing is available at the below-Iisted Central County Fire Departrnent Station locations
during regular business hours. The use of a Leaf Blower without a current and valid
certification sticker affixed to it within the City after August 1, 2011 is an infraction. All
sound Ievel measurements described in this section shall be taken with a Sound I-evel
Meter.

6. Integrity of machinery. No person shall operate any leaf blower without attachment of
all mufflers and firll extension tubes supplied by the manufacturer for that leaf blower.
7. Unla*firl use. Use of electric leafblowers at any other time than those designated is
unlawfirl. Use of electric blowers on legal holidays and weekends is strictly prohibited.
8. Improper use of machinery. It is strictly prohibited to use electric blowers or any other
air moving device to blow debris into storm drains, neighboring properties, or on-

First, apartment owners regularly prohibit, regulate and constrain their tenants
for all manner of rules arrd regulations including safety, property use, trash
disposal, public behavior, visitors, aesthetic rules and even window treahrrents.
So the argument that we should look the other way on a serious public health
hazard because owners want free rein on dangerous practices is not valid. Once
again, we would not make the same argument for disposal of paints down drains,
asbestos removal, construction noise, etc.
Additionally, apartment owners are regular violators of the current time
restrictions on blowers. (Many have gardeners working up to 6:3o pm, and as
early as 7:oo am, even on holidays.) In certain seasons, leaf blowers at apartment
complexes are operated on one property up 3 times per week for up to two hours
each visit. Surely noise abatement alone supports regulating apartmetrt owners.
Finally, leaf blowers are a public health hazard and no one population should be
allor,r'ed an exemption to continue a dangerous practice because of convenience.

CEC member said, 'That's like deciding to treat cancer in only a ferv patients."
These machines adversely affect everyone, not just apartment dwellers.
AIso, banning in certain boundaries creates a difficult enforcement scenario and
an incentive for gardeners to dismiss the ordinance, i.e. a "get in and get out
before we get caught" approach. If the whole city adopts an ordinance, it's
infinitely more enforceable. (See other cities' experiences in the fiill report to
Council.)

representative from Black and Decker said, "Anything that's electric or hand-

eqrensive recommended machines are only $rr9.oo apiece, and save gardeners
$2,233.44 in fuel cost per year. All-electric and sustainable machinery, including
hedgers and trimmers, save gardeners $6,294.24
J
Citv of Burlingame Survey
The city recently conducted a community survey to assess residents' issues and concerns
with leaf blowers and proposed bans. The following are answers to concerns arising
from ttre suwey.
1.
When gardeners "graduate" from electric blowers to the sustainable package their
time efEciency will improve over current gas-powered blowers, with no need to
sweep up, lift or haul leaves or debris. (Debris is collected or mulched in the
machines.)
4. Gcrd.enet's concerrl that electric blouers are not ss oou)erIul or
durable .r.s gcrs-ttou)ered. Our research found durable, polverful electric
models to be every bit as effective and less noisy than their gas counterparts. We
specifically researched models which have solid warranties and high-powered
velocities-verified directly with manufacturers for our specific purposes. We
chose the most durable, best manufactured machinery for our sustainable cost
comparison as well. We also noted that electric blowers were more focused in
their air delivery, or more appropriate to the task of blowing debris. (In
other words, they will not blast debris across boulevards or into neighboring
yards.)
Gandeners' etssertion (Bau Area Gard.eners Assoeiation) thot
u)or cu do h her els.
Please see decibel report previously submitted to Council documenting 9o-rzo
dB's in regular use at 5-ro ft, and up to Bo dB's INSIDE street-facing homes.
Gardeners are blasting neighborhoods with decibels DOUBLE the EPA and WHO
standards every day in our city. Once again, cities who tried to regulate decibels
failed. We need to make a distinction between regulating MACHINERY and USE
TIMES-which is enforceable-and regulating USE STYLES, which is not.
SummingUp
Banning gas-powered blowers and allowing electric blowers with time-use restrictions
gets our city moving toward healthier practices, addressing many of the hazards of leaf
blower use.
Over the next year the CEC of Burlingame, in partnership with the City of Burlingame,
would like to begin to educate residents and gardeners about t}re sustainable, clean
gardening machinery available to them. Given that these new machines save gardeners
more than $6,ooo.oo per year in fuel costs, we have every incentive to support this
incredibly beneficial change. Specifically, our goal is to create training sessions, fund
'starter kits" rvith discounts ftom manufacturers, and work with the City to promote
education, equipment replacement, and use training.
And of course, we'Il want to promote our City's success with sustainable gardening like
$azy.

Quotes frorn Burlingame's On-Line Survey
on Leaf Blower Use in Neighborhoods
"It is VERY common for gardeners to start their leaf blorvers as early as 7:oo. No
one appears to be enforcing the present leaf blowing hours. Many gardeners have
no respect for cars and blow right onto it. It is [also] not uncommon for
gardeners to walk backwards onto the street without looking into traffic..."
"The quality of life in Burlingame has decreased because of the health hazards,
noise, and other annoyances created by leaf blorvers. Let's keep Burlingame
classy. I-et's keep its workers and citizens healthy..."
"Ban them all together. The noise pollution and health issues are a strong enough
reason to ban them. If Palo Alto, Menlo Park and Atherton found a way to ban
them a long time ago, then so can we. Thank you for your consideration."
"Gas emissions and dust blow into my home when t}re neighbors' gardeners use
the high powered gas blowers. The blowers are far too loud, and they sound like
jet engines. If I played music outside that loud, the police would show up
instantly."
"Gardeners do not follow the existing rules. Neither do contractors. The noise is
unbearable. This is not a nice place to live any more and I've lived here for 5o
years! !! !!"
"AIL leaf blowers, gas and electric, should be banned in Burlingame, for all the
reasons indicated. They are unnecessary a health hazard, and decrease the
quality of life in our community."
"Leaf blowers are overly-loud enerry-wasting machines that adversely impact the
user and non-user alike, analogous to secondhand smoking. There are effective
alternatives...[which] actually result in debris being picked up and not just blown
into the air and adjoining yards. If their use leads to an increase in landscaping
fees that is the market reaching a fair price for an improved benefit, and is the
correct solution given that those adversely impacted by leaf blolvers are not
currently being compensated for the harm and annoyance they cause."
John & Carla Vincent
16rz McDonald Way Burlingame, CAg4oto-4652
65o-692-8382
"I'm currently a homeowner in between two homes that have gardeners using leaf
blorvers every Tuesday morning. It Iooks like a tornado as they blow all the
neighbors dirt, dog droppings and debris under our fence and into our home -
frustrating and allergic! "
"Particulate Matter: Ground-borne pathogens like pesticides, herbicides,
cadmium, mercury, animal feces, etc.....YES, this is the biggest problem and it
should be an issue for the city. We have to put the health of residents as a
priority. It should also be noted that most of the "leaves" and other "stuff is
usually blown into the street or onto someone else's property."
"The stated need for r:sing the leaf blolvers can be met by implementing other
solutions that are better for the environment, the gardeners arrd the residents of
Burlingame. Gardeners do not necessarily need to switch to rakes and broom if
they are not physically able to do so. By installing plants (Bay Area natives) that
can tolerate, or thrive on leaves (aka mulch), and/or by using a leaf
vacuum/mulcher, gardens, driveways and sidewalks can be cleared just as fast
without the air quality issues found with gas blowers. A handheld Black and
Decker vacuum/mulcher costs $6o at Ace Hardware. I am su4rrised that
gardening companies would WANT to continue with $4/gallon gas-powered
anlthing when they could plug into the homeowners' electrical service and let the
client foot the energy bill."
'A different device needs to be considered (or invented) ! Life in the Easton
addition has been quite challenging in the past 15 years due to many factors, not a
small one being the increasing use of leaf blowers. "
"The reasons to ban leaf blowers are clear. Any one of the reasons should be
enough to justify a ban. This is a quality of life issue, not a political issue. We as
residents of Burlingame have a right to pursue a better quality of life without leaf
blowers."
"Today w'e returned home to observe our neighbor's gardener blowing debris
onto our sidewalk. As we parked, he aimed the flow into the front of our car.
Anyone who observes the use of these devices knows how common this kind of
thing is. Leaf blowers just blast stuff away so one property looks good (for a
moment) and the adjacent areas look worse. It's just anotler example of "not in
my (front) yard" thinking.
Mike Reitsma
"One leaf blorver is not a problem now and then. However, virtually every time I
want to sit out in my yard, in a residential neighborhood that I would expect to be
relatively quiet, there is at least one leaf blower working, and often more than
one. It is not uncommon for multiple gardeners to be working around the
neighborhood such that there is continual noise for most of the day. Often the
noise is so loud t}tat we cannot carry on a normal conversation in our yard. I
recognize that the gardeners need to be efEcient in order to be cost competitive.
As one who uses a rake and broom in the yard, I really question the claim this
equipment increases cleanup time by 6o%. However, if blowers must be used, a
switch to electric blowers and a requirement for use of mufflers would certainly
improve the situation... "
"The opponents of restrictions claim that increasing restrictions as of zooT
eliminate the emissions problems; however, I would bet that many gardeners are
using much older, more polluting equipment...Perhaps the use of ear, eye and
respiratory protection by gardeners is helpfirl, but this does not account for the
equipment emissions that contribute to diminished air quality for all of us. Sure,
there are costs associated with changes in how we lvor\ but tlese costs are rvorth
it to preserve and improve the quality of our environment and our lives."
'It is the noise that bothers me the most and the fact that lots of times the
gardeners just blow the stuff out on the street or to the street near the neighbor's
house."
"The noise is the worst, especially since our guy comes on T\resday, and other
gardeners nearby come on Wednesday/Thursday/Saturday. This neighborhood
literally blows. I am more concerned now after reading that the blowers kick up a
lot of dirly matter."
"I don't believe in expanding government regulations, but the noise and pollution
from leaf blowers is too much. The "findings" of yard crews that switching to
rakes/brooms adds 6o% work time is obviously an exaggeration. In fact, blowers
often take more time, not less."
"They are very annoying in the city and end up blowing dirt, dust and garbage
into others yards...and houses! Those with altergies and asthma suffer
unnecessarily--my special needs son and I included. I have to close all my
windows every Wednesday and Friday as those are days my neighbor's gardeners
use the blowers. Please ban them, at least in residential areas! We can all pick up
leaves the old-fashioned way! ! ! !"
"An opportunity for Burlingame to take a leadership role in a prime quality of life
issue...one of the largest such issues for our City."
"We so look forward to the day when we don't have to close all of our windows
and doors to protect us from the horrible gas blowers!"
"Go Burlingame - being proactive to protect our air. The food/compost change
was a good start, now I'm starting to feel like I truly live in a green city."
"I use a rake and broom; it provides exercise, it does not take very long to do our
typical Burlingame yard, and does not pollute. Raking does NOT harm small
plants as suggested by opponents. In fact, raking improves the grass and leaving
some plant matter among plants provides a moisture-retaining soil cover,
reducing water needs. Cities such as Santa Monica, CAu hal-e successfully
implemented leaf blower bans, improving tleir communities and the
environment. PLEASE BANALL LEAF BLOWERS!"
"I think the leaf blowers have become both a health hazard and a nuisance. Every
time a neighbor has their garden blown it causes allergies that I would not
normally get. The debris is also blown into our house making it dusty and dirty. I
am a keen walker and take my dogs out to all the parks and bayside mlks, even
here the leaf blowing has become ridiculow. Whilst the Parks and Rec do a great
service to our city and appear to work extremely hard, they make such a mess at
Bayside park when they use the Ieaf blowers. I often have to turn around because
the dust and debris is unhealthy. Everyday someone has a leaf blower in our
block alone, they spoil the peace and quiet of our little town. They are unhealthy,
and more importantly, unnecessary. I truly believe that people would pay an
extra $ro to have their yard swept rather than blown. Cheers."
"I strongly urge the city council to ban the use ofaII leaf blou.ers through out our
city. I think they cause irreparable harm to the healtl of our residents, especially
our children and the elderly. They also significantly increase the maintenance
requirements/costs, of our homes and especially Solar installations that get
covered with air born dirt caused by leaf blowers. I have deferred adding solar to
my home because it would require monthly cleaning, which is very costly. I
believe that our city should push forward with initiatives that make Burlingame
one of the best cities in the Bay Area. We should follow Palo Alto's lead and ban
leaf bloners from our great city ASAP."
"The particulate matter from leaf blowers that covers my yard, porch, and
driveway, and then gets tracked into our house is alarming. The dust gets blown
around between yards - it's absurd to think that the dust is being removed, as if
by magic, when in reality we are literally just blowing it around. Nobody pretends
we are sucking it up or collecting this drxt, do they? It's a "blower." My daughter
has asthma and doctors have urged us to take great efforts to control dust and
irritants in the house - perhaps this is in vain, considering the man-made dust
storm outside her rtindorv. The noise is deafening on my street: with our small
Burlingame Iots and everyone hiring gardeners (including myself), it seems there
is always that blaring sound somewhere. I'm confident that these conditions are
harshest on gardening employees. Thank you for taking up this important issue
and receiving my feedback."
'Even tlose of us that don't suffer from severe allergic reactions should be
exempt from the dust and noise created ftom leaf blo'n'ers. Our homes are our
castles, a sanctuary where we spend the greater part of our lives and the place
where we should expect the necessary protection to safely relax and be
comfortable."
"They are horrible for the environment! They upset not only humans but also the
animals (dogs, cats, birds, etc.). I w'ork two jobs and am awakened early on
Saturday morning and Sunday by the noise. Also both properties on either side
employ leaf blorver companies arrd AIL the ends up on MY lawn and MY
driveway. We have a waste and and obesity problem. Rake up the debris (good
exercise) and RECYCLE it (good ecology). BAN all blowers like other cities ir the
Bay Area! Just Do it!!!" - '-4
"Some leaf litter collected by blowers would be best left in place as mulch for trees
and shrubs. Leaf Iitter on paved areas can be collected with rakes and brooms and
used as mulch instead of being taken away, thereby starving our gardens of
much-needed organic matter. [,eaf blowers mix non-compostable ]itter (trash)
with compostable organic matter (a resource). The benefits of clean pavement do
not outweigh increased noise, pollution, and solid waste generation. The
gardening industry will adapt and thrive."
..LEAF BLOWERS AREANNOYING BECAUSE OF NOISE. AISO THEY BLOW
YOUR LEA\T,S INTO YOUR NEIGHBORS AREA. IT DEFEATS THE PURPOSE
OF KEEPINGYOURYARD TIDYATTHE EXPENSE OF BLOWINGYOUR
LEAVES INTO SOMEONE ELSES PROPERTY? IT SHOULD BE DONE THE
OLD WAY, RAIG AND BAG AND DISPOSE!"
"If we truly want to take a stald as a city on meaningfirl green initiatives, banning
leaf-blon'ers is a no-brainer. Other cities across the nation are moving in this
direction and many have bans that have been effective for years."
"As far use of leaf-blon'ers during restricted hours - the restrictions are
completeiy ignored. l,eaf-blowers can be heard as early as 7am until nightfall.
Please lead the way in improving quality of life in our beautiful city by banning
leaf blowers. I will even spring for the replacement rakes!"
"Somewhere along the way society decided that only the leafless yard or garden
was a beautifi.rl one. Raking and srveeping can be done effrciently, is quiet, and
provides health benefits for the gardener also. Burlingame will still be beautifirl
with the occasional leaf in the landscaping. At a minimum, these blowers should
be banned lrom schoolyards and parks, where those who are most lulnerable
play."
"I find it frustrating all this noise and extra debris scattered about bythe blowers.
I live in a complex and I think it is in the center of a war zone rather than a
residential area with all the different times and days of the week I hear the
blor,r,ers going. The City road and construction work is disruptive enough, so
please stop the blowers. When blowers are going I cannot make a phone call,
cannot open widows due to allergies, and ha'r,e to vacuum more frequently due to
all the dirt they kick up and send into the building. Not to mention how dirty it
makes all the vehicles. What is the point of a clean window and car if the blower
is going four times a week to mess it all up? I wonder how the elderly in the
neighborhood cope? Is their hearing so bad tlley can not tell with years ofall this
noise? Residents should be issued hearing protection with every rental
agreement!"
"The blowers spread dirt, dust, and noise. Not a day goes by that some gardener
in a neighboring house is not blowing and mowing. Leaves belong in the
understory of yards-makes the best mulch. I would happily pay my gardener
more to remove garden residue lvith a rake; rvould be happy to rake it myself.
Let's "compost" in our yards, as well as our green bins."
"We have mower/blower noise almost every day of ttre week which means there
isn't a morning when we can take a cup of coffee on t}te patio. I strongly
recommend dividing the city into districts and allotting those districts one or tvvo
days a week. I think gardeners will quicHy readjust their schedules to comply
with the districts and property owners wiII enforce. Thanks you for the survey."
"l,eaf blowers pollute the environment with noise, organic emissions, and carbon
dioxide. I support the proposed ban on their use and am proud of the Burlingame
City Council for taking up this important issue."
"It's about time. Weekend days in my neighborhood (Washington Park) are often
dominated by the smell and noise of leaf blowers. I find myself crossing the street
to avoid walking my young children through particulate clouds from blowers."
"Are we REAILY so Iazy a society that, not only can we not rake our own lawns,
but our paid gardeners can't even rake our lawns?"
"We have our iaum cale team use hand tools to take care of our home's
landscaping. They n'ere slightly resistant to it initially, but now they like doing
our place better than the others. I'm sure the workers are bothered by the noise,
heary equipment, exhaust, and maintenarce/cost of t}le equipment. We enjoy the
peace and the garden seems to respond better to the new treatment."
"While the survey focuses on particulate matter, the notion of burning gasoline to
move lear,'es (even as a labor saving device) is unconscionable. Plus, the issue for
many people is the noise... especially as rve try to enjoy our yards / decks /
gardens / parks. Peace and quiet is the endangered entity... please protect."
"[-eaf blowers are a pollutant and a noise issue. It's unhealthy for the children
living in this community and it's sort of a hazard to the community since they are
so loud. With many gardeners and people using them at one time, sometimes you
cal't even hear the person talking to you in front of your house or let alone hear a
car coming around the corner rvhen crossing a street. It's overall bad for our
neighborhood community."
"These machines create too much noise and jr:st blow debris around. AT least
make them use vacuums instead of blowers. But not mentioned above is the
severe impact that these noisy blowers have on people working out of their
homes/apartments. This should be taken into consideration also."
"Awesome that Burlingame is acting on this. l,os Altos banned leaf blowers more
than zo years ago and they have aII survived. A ban is really easy to enforce, but
the time-of-day restriction is pretty tough. My next-door neighbor's Iawn crerv
has been coming for the past 8 years @ 7:tS a.m. every single Thursday morning.
We have called tie city and complained, but nothing has changed. I am tired of
the noise when we still have people trying to sleep. My guess is that the lawn
crews wouldn't do that at 7:r5 a.m. in their own neighborhoods. But I'm also tired
of the crew that comes to the neighborhood on Thursday, simply blowing around
the Ieaves and grass that the crew that came to neighborhood on Tuesday blew
around, which the Monday crew blew around when they were here. Seems
ridiculous."

TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
FRollt: Parks & Recreation Director (558-7307)BY
SUBJECT: DOGS OFF-LEASH IN WASHINGTON PARK_ P & RECREATION
COMMISSION REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
RE MMENDATION: Staff recommends that Ci ty Council approve the Parks &
Recreation Commission's recommendation to expand the dog off-leash hours at
Washington Park for a three-month trial period.
BACKGROUND:At the October 20, 2010 City Council meeting, staff presented a
Parks & Recreation Commission recommendation to expand the off-leash hours at
Washington Park to include a 6:00pm to 7:30pm period. Council took the
recommendation under consideration, heard from the public and determined that more
public input on the mafter was needed. Council referred the recommendation back to
the Commission to obtain additional public input.
The Commission subsequently established a three-person subcommittee of Laura
Hesselgren, Susan Castner-Paine and Noreen Bulotti to survey the Washington Park
neighborhood and other facility users on this issue. The subcommittee met several
times to develop a strategic plan, which included distributing a hand-delivered survey
(Attachment A) to residents in a defined area around the park (Attachment B) as well as
to the users at the park, and to hold a community meeting to discuss the proposed
e*ended hours. The survey was distributed by the subcommittee members in early
April with a deadline date for return of May 21 . The subcommiftee members returned to
the residences the weekend of May 21122 and, along with some surveys turned in at the
Recreation Center, ended up with a remarkable total of 147 surveys submitted.
Laura tallied the results, which are captured in Attachment C. She not only calculated
the overall numbers ("AII Responses"), she also provided the breakdown of those more
positive responses ("Positive On Off Leash Hours") and detailed comments ("Dog Park
Survey - Positive") and those more negative oriented ("Negative On Off Leash Hours")
and comments ("Dog Park Survey Results - negative"), as well as those who had no
response. The subcommittee then conducted a public meeting on June 4 at the
Recreation Center to discuss the survey results, ideas and recommendations from the
dozen in attendance (Meeting Summary provided in Attachment D).
SUBM
BY z4e
DATE: Aueust 1.2011
The subcommittee reported back to the full Commission at their June 16 meeting with
the recommendation to proceed with the increased hours at Washington Park. The
Commission reviewed the results; discussed implementation; considered the effect on
park users; encouraged enforcement during non-authorized hours and the creation of a
flyer/handout to inform park users of City ordinances and do's and don'ts; and
concurred to maintain the currently defined area (shown in Attachment E).
The Commission will now review how the off-leash program is working at Cuernavaca
Park as well as to discuss improvements/changes to the Dog Park.
DISGUSSION: Staff will continue workin g with Police on their provision of sporadic
checks and enforcement ofthe park. PD reports that, since January, they have made
over 480 park checks and issued 11 leash law warnings and 1 citation.
BUDGET IMPACT: Minor - si gn changes and the provision of flyer handouts
ATTACHMENTS:
A - Dogs Off-Leash Survey
B - Survey Distribution Area
C - Survey Results
D - Summary Notes From June 4 Subcommittee Meeting
E - Cunent Defined Off-Leash Area in Washington Park
They then took action, unanimously recommending to City Council the expansion of off-
leash hours in Washington to include 6:00pm to 7:30pm, with proper signage and
enforcement, for a three-month trial period. The Commission sub committee has
alerted interested residents of the Council's review of their recommendation.

)1
2. (13) - Our house borders Washington. My boys are at the park daily. We also have a
dog and would love additional oIf leash hous afler 5pm or 5:30pm. Our dog
has lots of "friends' and we love meeting new dog owners. My only concerx
are the pit bulls off leash. (which I have called the police) because pit bull is no
where near the owners and dog poops.
6. (13) -I often go to the park and enjoy watching the dogs play. Just'!ick up poop"
8. ( 10)- Dogs behave better offleash, Any skirmishes are usually brief as they establish
themselves. Rarely harmftl
(13)- I usually walk my dog after 8:30pm. I used to bring my old dog (now deceased)
to Washington Pa* before offleash allowed. I'm glad it is now allowed at
certain times. It just doesnl fit my schedule.
I I. ( 4) - Have had terrible experiences there.
(7) - I am in the cataing business and those hours are uruealistic for me. However
I am usually working "in catedng" at those hours, at meal time.
(10) - We all do thiV we all do this/ not an issue.
(13) - I have lived in this neighborhood foruearly 23 years. I pay property taxes -
that in I 989 included use of schools and park with children and pets. If these
rules change to exclude pets then taxes should be reduced accordilgly.
13. ( 10) - Owners conlrolling aggressive dogs.
(13) - I am in favor ofdogs being offleasb and owner controls enforced.
15. ( 13) - I enjoy seeing the dogs romp with their owners
17. (13) - I would love to take our dog to tfy'ashington Park in the evening after work
(for an off leash walk).
18. (5) - The dog park is very dkty or dusty. Consider turf.
16. (13) - Please increase the off leash hours at Washington Pa*. I sugges allowing
evenings from 6pm on-..
36. (10) - My impression is that dog owners are very responsible for cleaning up and
for their dogs behavior.
37. ( 13) - I fully support extending the off leash houn. I have lived here for 30 years
and have never experienced an issue or problem with dogs being offthe
leash. The people that complain about dogs being off leash never walk in
the park.
43. (13)- Washington Park is designed o naturally and easily provide foradog
area away from the main playground. Dog owners just need to be able to
contol their dog.
DOG PARK SI'RVEY - POSITIVE
l. (13) - It is not convenietrt to take the dog o the park at 6 to 7:30an. Evening much
better for family schedule.
44. (5) - My dog got sick every time we went. It's horrible!
(10) - Been using the pa* daily and do not see any ofthe above happening.
Everyone picks up and takes care ofthe park. We pick up garbage left
by people.
(13) - I thhk aflemoon/early ovening hours should happen.
45. (6) - Used it once. My dog u,as traumatized by larger and more aggressive dogs.
(10) - All are valid concems. But we are there every moming and I don't think any of
the above issues are being ignored/abused.
(13) - Burlingarne's dog park is tenible. The wont in the area- Ifyou want people
to go rather than local parks il needs to be much leger, cle€nq and divided for
small and large dogs.
46. ( I0) - Majoriry ofpeople with dogs at park pick up feces and are respecthrl ofpark.
48. (8) - Afler normal hours of use by people 7:30pm (the whole pa*) till 7am.We like
like to walk our dogs later, after dinner.
( t 3) We travel a lot around the Bay Area and a lot of cities have after hours ( night/
morning) for offleash. Or dog parks are situated where people live, not across
the freewa5 next to a treatment facility . .. ,.
49. (13) - I uke an art class at the Rec. center and have enjoyed watching the dogs, as do
others in the class.
51. (13)- I hope those ufio let their dogs off leash after posted hours will uot ruin it for
the rest ofus.
53. (13) - We think offleash hours 6 - 7:30pm in desigrated area should not cause any
problem. Dog owners have proven to be very responsible watching their
dogs and cleaning up.
56. (10) - Worry a bit wiih small children around.
(l l) - I often go to the park with my baby but not my pet.
(13) - I would be happy to have more dogs visiting the park. But am concemed as
I take my little girl there, about safety and allowing big dogs to be offleash
Near the playground e.specially.
61. ( l0) - When I went on a nightly basis everyone made sure that intelaction was under
control and ifa dog got out ofhand it was addrcssed. It was a controlled
social event Very enjoyable.
( I 3) - Most dog ownen are considerate artd pick up after their dogs and re
responsible. Unforhrnately there are always those who ruin it for
everyone else. There is pressure by the concemed owners that people
obey the rules so we can have these privileges, To the extent we pick up affer
others. My dog goes to work with me everyday. So I take care that I do the
Right things for this privilege.
62. ( 7) - too early for us
(8) - Perfect hours!! !
( I 0 b) - always a concem whdther they are on leash or off.
( I 3) - Having the options for evening hours off leash for socialization would
wonderfirl. My blind Zoe would be thrilled.
71. (8) - Maybe to 8:30am.
(10) - Dogs attacking humans (especially babies) or other animals.
(l3) - I see too many dog owners let their go off leash in other hours ( not 67:30am)
77. (13) - The Burlingame Dog Park by the water treatnent plant is not very inviting.
It is dingr and very limited. Due to its small and limited site I prefer taking the
Dogs to Seal Pointe. I suggest impmving the Burlingame dog pa* by installing
some agility aaining features to make it more usefirl
78. (10) - Regular visitors who bring their dogs to Washinglon Park are responsible
and respectable owners who value the park and nice environment for their pets.
(13) - As a tax payer of this community my dog should be allowed monitored off
leash time in Washington Park.
83. ( l3) - I have noticed that dog owners for the most part are resp€ctful about
controlling their dogs and cleaning up affer them. Irt tlpm have more off leash
time.
84. ( 8) - thiok the dogs need ig ifproperly supervised.
87. ( 13) - We are a family of four with a dog and would love a more family frientlly
time to exercise our dog offleash after 7:30am.
90. (10) - Most dog owners seem respectfirl.
(13) - Ifthere are many owners and dogs - chaotic(?) Leashes should be on when the
(something) dogs get out of hand or dogs behavior warrants it.
93. (13) - I support the policy ofproviding an off leash area for dogs in the park
94. (13) - I would like to see Victoria Park have offleash hours.
97. (10) - All the owners I know do includiug myself (pick up feces)
The owners are very respectfi ofthe property and other ownerc. It is a
Privilege to have a park as beautifrl as Washington Park
(13) - Most of the owners are rcspectful of the other dog owners and the
park. I have never encountered a bad incident. Most dogs are small.. mine
is 6lbs.
102 ( l0) - I see them picking up. Dog owners know each other and seem to
supervise the dogs and behavior.
(13) - I notice the dogs stay near the back area with owners and dogs play with
each other.
lM - (5) - I do not like it. It stinks and there are lols ofpit bulls there.
(13) Off leash creates an oppo(unity for the dog owners to socialize. I
have become friends with many other owners. It really builds a
sense of community.
108 - ( I 3) - need off leash hours after 5pm! !
109- (t0)-I love the dogs from the neighborhood! They are so happy and
friendly. We walk the neighbors dog.
(13) - I feel the citizens are very responsible with 6eir pets. Dogs should
be firce from leashes.
I I I - (6) - Seldom. Chemicals fiom sewer planl gives me a headache.
(13) - Early evening off leash hours would be great for me. I work euly hours and
would love to be able to take my small dogs to an area close by to let them off
leash.
113. (10) - biting children
115. ( l0 ) - safety.
117. ( 5) - Not by Bayside -too far and not very pleasant due to dirt and odor.
( I 0) - this will occur regardless of on/off leash (a)
most owners are watchful (b)
(13) - Otr leash beyond the baseball fields would be perfect since its
grassy and fenced in. Thank you for inviting dialogue with
neighbon.
118. (13)- I would like to see more enforcement of the leash law, I always have
my pet on a leash and am oflen approached by dogs running off leash.
As much as I would like to let my pet olf leaslq I don't. It annoys me when
Others do.
120 . (10) - These concems do not apply to those who come during off leash hours.
I have found these people to be very responsible. (a)
Dogs off leash in the middle of &e day (e)
(13) - I believe extending offleash hours will encourage 'scoflaw"
dog owners to find a legal time to have their dogs offleasb-
121 - (13) - As someone who lives in the neighborhood, I would love to see
the off leash dog hous expanded. Later in the moming - good. Evening -
GREAT!
122 - (13) - If 10a + l0b can be taken care of, I think dog owners should be able to
let their dogs run around more horus of the day. Walking and exercisiag your
dog in the park seems natural, ESPECIALLY ifyou live close to the park.
123 - (10) - I don't want dog walker professionals to bring more than 2 dogs at once.
( I 3) - I don't' want a lot of off leash hou$, as I don't want people to use the park
as a destination for offleash. But I would like people who live nearby be
able to have their dogs off leash, and I would be willing to pay an
annual fee for the privilege, as well as pass a test for the dog being well
trained/friendly.
125 - (13) - I think it would be good to have off leash hours later in the evening (7pm to
9pm) once there are no kids in the park.
l4l - (l l) Should have late time, like 3 to 4pm..
(13) - Weekends we walk to everywhere usually between 9am to l2pm and lpm to
4pm when we take kids to Park- would be nice to let dog offleash.
143 - (13) - I would use Washingon Park fiom 5pm to closing if dogs were allowed off
leash.
144 - (1 l) The dog owners I know police themselves very well.
(13) I walk through the Park daily in the evenings with my dogs. I see lhe other
owners control and police themselves well.
Question 4 - Fort Funston, Sweeny Ridge, Pulgas Open Space, Neighborhood Walks,
Around town, St. Jobn's Cemetery, Dog Walker/Day care, Victoria Park, Kincaids
walkway and Brisbane
Question 6 - Not convenien! sewer smell makes me siclq Park dfuty, didn't know we had
one, few times a year, dog traumatized - aggressive dogs, dog gets sick every time he
goes there, rarely, too far to go..I have a hound dog that who doesn't just bar( she yelps..
She's very noisey.
I
la6 - (13) - More dog owners would like to be able to walk with their dog to
Washington Park.

Off leash hours at Washington Park
We will be on vacation and won't be able to attend the next council meeting, but would like to voice my opinion
on the off leash hours at Washington Park. We walk our golden retriever there every morning sometime
between 6 AM and 7:30AM. There are usually 5 or 6 people and their dogs on any given day. Everyone is
respectful of the park and the neighbors. We pick up after our dogs and often pick up trash left by picnicers in
order to keep the dogs from eating it!
We would like to see the hours continue in the moming. We personally won't use the evening hours, but it
would be nice for those who can't get there in the moming. The actual dog park in Burlingame is sorely lacking
compared to those in nearby cities. We think opening our city parks to dogs during the off hours is one way to
make our city more "dog fiiendly" and is another draw for our town.
Sincerely,
Mike & Debbie Cortese

lo see a child bittsr by an off leash dog.
(13) - Offleash hours make sense when therc are few kirls in the park. Implementing offleash hours
when kids play in the park is dangerous and inesponsible.
41.(10). Thcrc is a pitbull ofrlessb at non-offleash hours. I arn afiaid of my dog being anacked.
54. ( l0) - Safety concem for my granddaughter in the evening hours,

in dog nm. I have had children scratched by offleash dogs in middle ofthe day and have seen
feces many time, even near the pl&yground.
85. (10) - Safety for elderly people or people walking a dog on leash-
(13)- dog, should be kept on leash in the pa* at all timcs. More hours of usc for dogs will lead to the
requeEting of cven tlouls.
E6. (9) - But dog owners do not care from \ hat I can tell. My kids have been chased by dogs a couple of
timcs End ownels do not carc becsuse thcy believe their dogs are "friendly".
( I 0) - It is scary for young chil&en at the Washingtor Pa* play $ound to bc chascd by dogs. The off
leash part should bc away from youug childron. I believe it isjust a dargerous combination -
dogs of leash and kids.
(13)- Please do not exteod the ofrleash hours. The currcnt offleash hours do not work as they are not
obeyed. Additionally, I do not lhink Washington Park is the right place to hayc dogs "offleash";
Young kids are running oround and playing and should rEt haye to be concemed about \ atching
Out for dogs.

105. ( 8) - Pcople let dogs otrleash at other timca. Stop 8llowilg dogs. Go to Dog Par*s. Should be
sropped. Go to Dog Park. People don't clean up and dogs urinate ard p€ople sit and lic
or urinatioo a.ttd c€us€ p€ople disesseg.
107. ( l0) - Safcty of ohildren in the park.
(13) - We arc fine with off leash hours, but lhe most important Otng is thc safety ofthe chiklren.
Almost all dogs arc fricndly but that does not mean something could not happen betwoen a child
And a dog. How aboul the field, is that available?
I l9 - Parts aDd Reueation Commissir:n, I live on Trenion Way in Burlingame. I received and ftlled out
the surwy about lhe proposed extended ofrleasb hous at Washlngton Park The su'vey clearly statcs that
'...or you may leave it under your door mat and wc will sfop by thc noming of May 2l st, 201I to pick it
up". I plac€d my completed suryey under our door rnat at ?:15 am Saturday morning. The form r.Es not
picked up. For fie record I am opposed to the additional houn. Washington Park is a people park, not a dog
park. As it is when evcr I walk through thc park [several times a week], dog owners routhely let their dogs
off leash all houn ofthc day. These owrers arc usually talking on tbeir c€ll phoDes, ignoring fteir pets. I do
not belieyc there has ever been a time wlrn morc than two out of ten dogs were on leash, even though the
owners all sccm to have leashcs \yilh thefl. I b€lieve lhc city can do a bctterjob cracking down on this
behavior. The last thing we need is to give more time to a group ofpeople, who as a whole, have yery little
rcgard for lhc rights of othcrs.
134 - (10) - Safety for thosc that might bG Efi-aid ofdogs. OwneIs Dot b€iBg able to conrol tbcir dogs off
leash.
(13) - I think Washington Park should not allow dogs offleash at alll Thc City ofBurlingame nceds
to build a bctter dog palt similar to Foster City so lhat olvnels cao tate their rtog anyime
snd its safe for everyone.
139 - I hate dogs and hatc iresponsible owners let their dogs go on my lavm. Some pick it up aDd some
don't.
(13) The park has many families and children attcnding it daily. Kids run around and most dog
owners think that their pet is perfect and should have prccede t over anyonc else- My grand
daughter has b€cn fiightened by running dogs. Not all dogs are friendly and kids are
generalty scared, Dog oylneas need to be educated.
140 - (13) - There is a distinct odor problem since the offleash laly was put into placc at Washington Park.
I am not a An. It is unpleasant to walk into the park and smell the poop.
141 - (13) - Washington Park is currently very family friendly but many owners are not
aware or seDsitive to ths fat that children are often scared of their dogs.
More off leash will make it a less pleasant place for familes.

Washington Park - Dog Area
Dear Council -
l'm writing to express my support of maintaining the existing hours for the off leash dog area in washington Park, as
well as adding additional evening hours. The morning hours are used by many in the neighborhood who are residents
and take pride in, and support, Washington Park. They all know each other (as do their dogs) and only well-socialized
dogs are typically off leash. Theydo not give their dogs "free-run" ofthe park, but rather stick to the designated area
away from the children's playground. Not only are they responsible about picking up after their animals, but they are
often the ones picking up the picnic areas from trash, garbage and food left behind by less responsible members of the
community.
The addition of evening hours would cause minimal disruption to the park operations and be a benefit to all those in the
area. The dog owners all respect staying in the back area of the park and abide by the rules set forth by the City. I
strongly urge the Council to continue to endorse the morning dog off leash program and, in addition, add evening hours
to make Washington Park an even more positive communal location in our wonderful neighborhood.
ln addition, I think that there are more serious issues going on in the park besides our dogs being off-leash. I would like
to see more patrolling in the area to stop the selling of illegal drugsbyouryouthinthebackcornerofthegardens. I
Respectfully,

S LI BJ ECT:Approval of a New Job Classification Entitled Budget and Finance Analyst
That the City Council approve the proposed new job classification of Budget and Finance
Analyst and the accompanying rate of pay recommended by the Human Resources Department.
The current existing position classification of Administrative/Information Services Manager will
be converted to the proposed Budget and Finance Analyst position. The current position is
currently held by Chris Rogers who will be retiring in November 201 1 .
The planned retirement ofChris Rogers creates the oppoftunity to review the management needs
of the Finance Department. Currently the Financial Services Manager has assumed more budget
analytical work given projects and tasks that need to be accomplished. This has resulted in less
time being spent on the supervision and oversight ofcritical accounting. auditing, treasury,
investment, banking, and payroll functions. In addition, the financial reporting requirements of
the city continue to increase given the need for greater transparency and disclosure as required
by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board.
The proposed new classification will assume the budget and financial analyses duties currently
being performed by the Financial Services Manager. In addition the position will also provide
greater financial and budget reporting capacity for the city. A detailed description of the
proposed duties is included in the attachment.
The new position will require a Bachelor's degree in Public or Business Administration, Finance,
Economics or any related field of study. A Master's degree will be highly desirable.
The reclassification of the position will resull in an annual savings of$13,500 based on the
difference in salaries between the two positions when compared at the top step. The surplus

including significant cost savinSs and redticed headaches associated wlth managing multiple network5.
But combininE voice and data (and sometimesvideo) on the same corporate network is risky. You need suflicient bandwidth to
5upport multiple services running concurrently, and you need to ensure acceptable quality and non-stop availability, even ifnew
applications are added, traffic increases or the network itse,fchanges.

confituration that meets your company's needs forthe short and longterm.
lfyou already have a VolP network, or are thinking about adding voice on top of your existing data network, Packet Fusion can 5tress
test any combinalion of network conditiont such as latency, packel loss, bandwidth congeslion, BER, link disconnects. ortraffc
conditions, and make ,ecommendations to improve pertormance and reliability.
For companies experiencing voice quality iSsues on their network, Packet Fusion can provide diagnostictests to determine howto
remedythe situation and side step issues that may occur when you make changes to your enterprise environment in the future.

PROJECT NO. 82090

TO:
DATE:
FROM:
SUBJECT:
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that Council approve the attached
resolution accepting the Newhall Road and Forest View Avenue water main
replacement project in the amount of $508,736.
BACKGROUND: The existin g water distribution system on Newhall Road and
Forest View Avenue was constructed in the 1930s and had insufficient pressure for
water distribution and fire flow purposes. The City's Water System Master Plan
identified this area as one of the high priority projects. The project consisted of
replacing approximately 2,400 linear feet of existing cast iron main with a
combination of new six-inch, eightinch and twelve-inch polyvinyl chloride water main
that will provide increased pressure and meet fire flow demand. ln addition, the
improved pipeline system is now connected to the San Francisco Public Utilities
Commission (SFPUC) owned 60" diameter Sunset Supply transmission pipeline on
Newhall Road. This added benefit allows the City to meet water supply demand and
fire flow requirements during the SFPUC Crystal Springs Pipeline No. 2 shutdown on
El Camino Real.
DISCUSSION: On A ugust 16, 2010, the Council awarded the construction contract
to Shaw Pipeline, lnc. in the amount of $451,560. The project construction has been
satisfactorily completed in accordance with the plans and specifications. The final
construction cost is $508,736 which is $57,'176 or 12o/o above the original contract
amount due to the following change orders:
. Reconstruction of a handicap ramp at Forest View Ave. and
WillowAve.e lnstallation of traffic loading rated meter boxeso Unforeseen additional work to repair failed subgrade and asphalt
pavement overlay on Newhall Ave.. Unforeseen miscellaneous work related to relocating meter boxes
and upsizing service lines

2010 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
City of Burlingame Annex
March 24. 201 I
6lr
The City of Burlingame is a moderately-sized city in San Mateo County, California comprised of
approximately 2,970 urban acres. The City has a population of approximately 28,601 people.
Located on the San Francisco Bay peninsula, the city has experienced its share ofdisasters
including the Loma Prieta earthquake in 1989. Last year, the City's budget was $86,759,558.
The City employs 196 people. City services include police, fire, water and sewer. The fire
services are supplied by a separate fire district. A map ofthe City's jurisdictional boundary is
provided in Exhibit A.
Major govemment facilities include one main library, one neighborhood library, City Hall, a
water treatment plant, two fire stations, a police station, a major Parks and Recreation center,
sixteen City parks, and the Burlingame Corporation Facility.
The Regional Planning Process
In 2005 the City of Burlingame participated in ABAG workshops which resulted in the
development of the Regional Plan. The Plan was formally adopted by the Burlingame City
Council in October 2006. Representatives from the City of Burlingame participated in a variety
of ABAG workshops, conferences, and meetings, including:
o A Sewer Smart summit meeting held on October 9, 2008
. County/City Workshops on 5ll2/09, 5/26109, and 6/4/09
. A regional meeting during which Building Oflicials reviewed draft priorities and
attempted to reach consensus on priorities for mitigation on 7/l/09
. A City meeting to discuss floodplain management issues on I l/5/09
For more information on these meetings and for rosters ofattendees. please see Appendix A and
H in the ABAG Multi-Jurisdictional Local Hazard Mitigation Plan 2010 (MJ-LHMP). In
addition. the City of Burlingame has provided written and oral comments on the multi-
jurisdictional plan and provided information on facilities that are defined as "critical" to ABAG.
The Local Planning Process
Representatives from multiple City departments met on a regular basis to identify and prioritize
appropriate mitigation strategies. Personnel involved in these meetings included senior and mid-
management staff from the Finance Department, Planning Division, Building Division,
Engineering Division, Fire Department, and Emergency Services personnel.

lntroduction
At the first meeting, general priorities and appropriate departments were identified.
Representatives from Cif departments were chosen based on their knowledge of City
infraskucture and their ability to make key decisions regarding that infrastructure. Each
department representative brought the perspectives oftheir individual departments along with
infrastructure and budget priorities. Subsequent meetings identified mitigation strategies,
prioritized said strategies, and reviewed preliminary budgets and potential funding sources for
strategies designated as "High" prioriry for Ciry-owned-and-operated facilities.
No formal meeting agendas, minutes, or sign-in sheet were prepared during this part of the
process. City staff met in a collaborative approach to identi$ and review the various elements of
the process.
Process for Updating Plan Sections
Ci[ staffbegan the update process by reviewing the 2005 Plan. Staffthen researched City
records in order to provide new information on hazards and susceptibility within the City. The
updates include new data regarding recent occurrences of natural hazards as well as updated
inlormation on risk assessment with new data provided by ABAG.

City of Burlingame website for public viewing. No public comments were received from either
the meeting or the internet posting. Copies of the intemet posting, as well as other information
relative to the public meetings, are included as Exhibit A to the City of Burlingame 2010 Annex.
Public meetings and outreach, via our website, were instrumental in seeking comment regarding
the 2010 Plan. Future updates of the plan could include coordination with neighboring cities in a
public outreach effort. This may also allow all cities to make the process more interesting and
therefore elicit greater public comment.
The City of Burlingame City Council will adopt the plan in a public meeting via an official
Resolution upon approval by FEMA. The mitigation strategies will become an implementation
appendix of the Safety Element of the City of Burlingame General Plan.
The ABAG MultiJurisdictional Local H^,ard Mitigation Plan, to which this is an annex. lists
nine hazards that impact the Bay Area, five related to earthquakes (faulting, shaking. earthquake-
induced landslides, liquefaction, and tsunamis) and four related to weather (flooding, landslides,
wildfires, and drought). Maps ofthese hazards and risks are shown on the ABAG website at
http://quake.abag.ca. gov/mitiqation/.
The City of Burlingame has reviewed the hazards identified and ranked the hazards based on
past disasters and expected future impacts. The Public Works Director. Assistant Public Works
Director, ChiefBuilding Official, and Fire Marshal concluded that earthquakes (particularly
shaking), flooding (including dam failure), wildfire, and landslides (including unstable earth)
pose a significant risk for potential loss.
The City of Burlingame does not face any natural disasters not listed in the ABAG multi-
jurisdictional plan and no new hazards have been identified by the City of Burlingame since the
original development of this plan in 2005.
While the City of Burlingame has undertaken a number of general hazard mapping activities
since the first Safety Element was prepared by the City of Burlingame all ofthese maps are less
detailed and are not as current as those shown on the ABAG website at

Hazards Assessment
BURLINGAME
Past Occurrences of Disasters (natural and human-induced)
The City of Burlingame has experienced a number of different disasters over the last 50 years,
including earthquakes, floods, droughts, wildfires, energy shortages, landslides, and severe
storms. The Loma Prieta Earthquake of 1989 is an example ofthe kind oflarge scale disaster
which can strike the Bay Area. It killed 63 persons, injured 3,757, and displaced over 12,000
persons. With over 20,000 homes and businesses damaged and over 1,100 destroyed, this quake
caused approximately $6 Billion in damage.
More information on State and Federally declared disasters in the City of Burlingame can be
found at http://quake.abas.ca.gov/mitigatio n/ThePlan-D-Version-December09.pdl
In addition to the declared disasters noted in Appendix D, significant incidents in San Mateo
County that impacted the City of Burlingame and prompted the opening ofour Emergency
Operations Center in the last several years include:
These events caused disruption ofelectrical service, impacted traffic flow, caused road closures,
resulted in minor landslides, caused some local flooding, and / or necessitated the allocation of
staff to other jurisdictions as well as a reduction in available staff due to local emergency
response.

Risk Assessment
Urban Land Exposure
The City of Burlingame examined the hazard exposure of the City of Burlingame urban land
based on information in ABAG's website at
http ://quake.abag.ca.gov/mitigation/pickdbh2.html
-[he "2005 Existing Land Use with 2009 Mopping:' file was used for this evaluation (in the
existing plan, the file used was "Existing Land Use in 2000').
In general, the hazard exposure ofthe City of Burlingame is not increasing over time. The ciry
has few tall buildings and strong construction activity translates into greater compliance with
newer building codes and therefore, infrastructure and buildings that are safer. The City of
Burlingame actually reduced the acres ofurban land in the 100 year flood zone over the last 5
years due to changes in the new FEMA flood maps. The following table describes the exposure
of urban land within the City to the various hazards.

Repetitive Loss Properties
There are two rep€titive loss properties in the City of Burlingame based on the information at
httD://quake.abas.ca.gov/mitigation/pickflood.html. In 2004 the C ity of Burlingame had no
repetitive loss property that was outside the flood plain.
The NFIP Repetitive Loss update worksheets as well as the Repetitive Flood Loss Data sheet are
included as Exhibit D in this Annex.
Other risks
The City ofBurlingame is unable to identi$ any risks or vulnerabilities that differ from the rest
ofthe nine-county planning area.
The City plans to continue to work with ABAG to improve the risk assessment information
being compiled by ABAG, including developing ways to assess how many soft-story buildings
are located in the unincorporated areas ofthe County.
The City plans to work with ABAG to develop specific information about the kind and level of
damage to buildings, infrastructure, and critical facilities which might result from any ofthe
hazards previously noted.
National Flood tnsurance Program
The City of Burlingame has participated in the National Flood Insurance Program since 1981.
The City is a participant with the FEMA office in Oakland, Califomia. The City has updated the
Municipal Regional Stormwater Plan and is cunently working on CRS program certification.
The City is a CRS member and is currently classified asl0. In addition to using FEMA maps
City staffuses the City permit-tracking software to track properties located within the floodplain.

The two repetitive loss properties were located at:
1669 Old Bayshore Highway, Burlingame, Califomia,94010
1625 11635 Adrian Road, Burlingame, Califomia,94010
City staffalso uses information provided by project surveyors, geotechnical engineers, and
architects as well as site inspections to assess the flood risk on parcels within the City. There are
no known issues with community participation in the program. There are no known obstacles for
effective implementation of the NFIP. The City is working with FEMA to update the CRS
classification. The City may be able to remove some parcels from the flood zone when work
cunently in progress under the stormwater improvement plan is completed. Actions taken under
the NFIP (c-2 and c-4) include the process ofadopting the FEMA elevation certification process
as part ofthe City plan review process.
Mitigation Goals and Objectives
The goal of the ABAG Multi-jurisdictional LHMP is to maintain and enhance a disaster-resistant
region by reducing the potential for loss of life, property damage. and envtonmental degradation
from natural disasters, while accelerating economic recovery from those disasters. This goal is
unchanged from the 2005 plan and continues to be the goal ofthe City of Burlingame in
designing its mitigation program.
In additional, the City has the specific objective ofreducing the number ofpublic and private
buildings within the City that are vulnerable to the effects of earthquakes and to increase the
number of public/private buildings protected from flooding, wildfire, etc.
In 2005, mitigation actions and priorities were identified although in the 2005 Plan projects were
not identified as clearly as they are in this plan. The attached list indicates each of the strategies
identified, along with the responsible party, action taken, and the current status ofprogress. The
following projects were completed by the Public Works Departrnent, Fire Department, Building
Division, and Planning Division:
o Adopted new Building and Fire Codes. On October 18, 2010 the Burlingame City
Council adopted the latest editions ofthe 2010 Califomia Building and Fire Codes. The
City will begin enforcing these codes on January I , 201 I . (HSG f- I ; INFR b-8; HSG e-3;
ECON d-2)
o The City of Burlingame currently participates in CERT training. (HSG k-7; INFR 9-6)o The citizens of the City of Burlingame passed a Storm Drain Measure which created
dedicated funding for upgrades to the City sewer system. (INFR a-7)
. Completed seismic upgrade of the Mills water tank (INFR a-7; INFR b-5)
o Seismic evaluation ofthe auditorium at the Parks and Recreation Center (INFR a-7;

. Upgraded the Trousdale pump station @NV a-6)
. Updated the existing floodplain maps (ECON f-6)
. Updated the wastewater collection system as described in the Master Plan (E].W a-6)
o Videotaped 25 miles of City sewer mains to identify structural defects (INFR a-4)
o Constructed a Stormwater / Rainwater garden at one of the City's main parking lots to

. Adopted the 2010 Califomia Green Building Code with local amendments (ENV b-8)
. Hired a Green Building Specialist to implement the new Green Building Code (ENV b-8)
As a participant in the 2010 ABAG multijurisdictional planning process, the staff ofthe City of
Burlingame helped in the development and review ofthe comprehensive list of mitigation
strategies in the overall multi-jurisdictional plan. The decision on priority was made based on a
variety of criteria, not simply on an economic cost-benefit analysis. These criteria include being
technically and administratively feasible, politically acceptable, socially appropriate, legal,
economically sound, and not harmful to the environment or our heritage. Representatives from
multiple departments then met on a regular basis to review progress on the jurisdiction's 2005
skategies, to identifu and prioritize additional mitigation strategies to update the list.
These draft priorities were submitted to the City of Burlingame City Council for review. The
draft priorities will be provided to the City Council for adoption pending approval of this LHMP
by FEMa.
The City planning team also prioritized specific mitigation tasks for the next 5 years. This list
includes implementation process, funding strategy, responsible agency, and approximate time
frame. The following projects are anticipated to be perlormed by the Public Works Department:
o Construction has begun on a new 1,500,000 gallon retention basin at the sewage
treatment plant; completion scheduled for August 201 1 (INFR a-4)
. Upgraded the Mitten pump station (INFR a-4)
. The City continues to participate in planning for the new freeway interchange at
Broadway (INFR b-1)
o Worked with the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission in planning for the seismic
upgrade ofthe Hetch Hetchy water line through the City of Burlingame (INFR a-19;
rNFR b-5)
o Evaluation continues on the Hillview reservoir to allow for increase in capacity that will
allow the procurement of adequate storage for emergencies (INFR a-4)
o Project to reconstruct old water and sewer lines on Burlingame Avenue; part ofthe
annual pipeline replacement project (INFR a-19)

During the discussion and implementation of future plans City departments can nominate
projects that they believe will provide the greatest benefit when considering available funding.
The City intends on using this same approach in the review, preparation, and implementation of
future Plans.
On-Going ltitigotion Strategy Progroms
The City has many on-going mitigation programs that help create a more disaster-resistant
region. The following list highlights those programs identified as Existing Programs in the
mitigation strategy spreadsheet. Others are on-going programs that are currently underfunded. It
is the County's priority to find additional funding to sustain these on-going programs over time.
o Inform residents of comprehensive mitigation activities (HSG-k-3);
. Use disaster anniversaries to remind the public of mitigation activities (HSG-k-5);
o Train homeowners to shut offgas valves (HSG-k-10);
o Vulnerabiliry assessments of City facilities and infrastnrcture (GOVT-a-1);
o Non-structural mitigation for building contents (GOVT-a4);
o Development of interoperable communications for first responders from cities, counties.
special districts, state, and federal agencies. (GOVT-c-7);
. Participation in general mutual-aid agreements and agreements with adjoining
jurisdictions for cooperative response to fires, floods, earthquakes, and other disasters
(GOW-c-13);
. Participation in FEMA's National Flood Insurance Program (GOVT-d-5)
. Sponsor the formation and training of Community Emergency Response Teams (CERT)
through partnerships with local businesses (GOVT-c-3, ECON-j-5, HWNG-k-6);
. Incorporate FEMA guidelines and suggested activities into local govemment plans and
procedures for managing flood hazards (LAND-c-2);
o Increase efforts to reduce landslides and erosion in existing and future development
through continuing education ofdesign professionals on mitigation strategies (HSNG-i-2,
ECON-g-2);
. Continue to repair and make structural improvements to storm drains, pipelines, and./or
channels to enable them to perform to their design capacity in handling water flows as
part of regular maintenance activities (INFR-d-6, INFR-d-7)
o Continue the Wildland Urban Interface mitigation and education program that is an on-
going program. (HSNG-g-l)

o City of Burlingame Climate Action Plan
http://www.burl ingame.org/index.asDx?pase= I 3 74
The City has a Safety Element in its General Plan that includes a discussion offire, earthquake,
flooding, and landslide hazards. The City enforces the requirements ofthe Califomia
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), which, since 1988, requires mitigation for identified natural
hazards. The City has used these pre-existing programs as a basis for identifying gaps that may
lead to disaster vulnerabilities in order to work on ways to address these risks through mitigation.
The research accomplished and information provided in this annex will be used to assess the
purchase of new equipment, train staff, upgrade infrastructure, and review the City's CIP in
order to reduce property damage and create a more disaster-resistant region.
As required by the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000, the City of Burlingame will update this plan
annex at least once every five years, by participating in a multi-agency effort with ABAG and
other agencies to develop a multi-jurisdictional plan.
The City of Burlingame will ensure that monitoring of this Annex will occur. The plan will be
monitored on an on-going basis. However, the major disasters affecting our City, legal changes.
notices from AIIAG as the lead agency in this process, and other triggers will be used. Finally.
the Annex will be a discussion item on the agenda ofthe meeting of Department leaders at least
once a year in April. At that meeting, the department heads will focus on evaluating the Arnex in
light oftechnological and political changes during the past year or other significant events. The
Department leaders will be responsible for determining if the plan should be updated.
The City is commifted to reviewing and updating this plan annex at least once every five years,
as required by the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000. The Department of Public Works will
contact ABAG four years after this plan is approved to ensure that ABAG plans to undertake the
plan update process. If so, the City again plans to participate in the multi-jurisdictional plan. If
ABAG is unwilling or unable to act as the lead agency in the multi-jurisdictional effort, other
agencies will be contacted, including the County's Office of Emergency Services. Counties
should then work together to identify another regional forum for developing a multi
jurisdictional plan.
The public will continue to be involved whenever the plan is updated and as appropriate during
the monitoring and evaluation process. Once a year City staffwill review the Plan with a vision
toward future improvements of City infrastructure, potential revenue sources, and improvements
in the Plan. Prior to adoption ol updates, the City will provide the opportunity lor the public to

BURLINGAME - Officials have released a detailed
plan that will allow the city govemment to secure
fede,'al resources in the event of an earthquake or
other natural disastrer.
Staff writer Mike Rosenberg covers San
Mateo, Burlingame, Belmont and
transportatlon issues. Reach him at 650-
9484924.
The so-called "local hazard mitigaion plan' will be
sent to the Federal Emergency ManagementAgency
afte, the City Council approves it next year. Onc€
adopted, it will make Budingarne eligible for FEMA
funds duing an earthquake, severe slorm or other
cabstrophe.
The plan essentially is designed to rnake sure the
city is prepared for a disaster ahead ol time, ins{ead
of having !o frantically react after one occurs, said
Community Development Director Bill Me€ker. ln
addition to simply being the more logical approach,
it is also cheaper in the long run, he said.
The goal of the document is to ensure health,
govemment and educational seMces are still
provided in the wake of a disaster, and that housing
and economical opportunities remain in good
condition, Meeker sau.
He said there should ool be any new money
devoted to proiects as a result of the plan, as most
of ib contenb have been planned for.
The federally mandated plan is updated every five
years, said chief Building Official Joe Cyr.

Re: Letter of Commitment as participafing jurisdiction in [Lead Jurlsdiction] Multi-jurisdictional
Hazard Mitigation Ptanning
Dear Mr. Gardner,
As the Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA) Local Mitigation Plan
requirements under 44 CFR S201.6 specifically identify criteria that allow for multijurisdictional
mitigation plans and that many issues are better resolved by evaluating hazards more
comprehensively by coordinating at the county, regional, or watershed level, the City of
Burlingame is submitting this letter of commitment to confirm that the City of Burlingame has
agreed lo participate in the Association of Bay Area Govemments (ABAG) Multi-jurisdictional
Hazard Mitigation Planning.
Further, as a mndition to participating in the mitigation planning; the City of Burlingame
agrees to meet the requirements for miflgation plans identifled in zl4 CFR $201.6 and to provide
such cooperation as is necessary and in a timely manner to ABAG to complete the plan in
conformance with FEMA requirements.
The City of Burlingame understands that it must engage in the following planning
process, as more fully described in FEMA's Local Multi-Hazard Mitiqation Planninq Guidance
dated July 1, 2008, including, but not limited to:F ldentification of hazards unique to the jurisdiction and not addressed in the
master planning document;) The conduct of a vulnerability analysis and an identification of risks, where they
differ from the general planning area;> The formulation of mitigation goals responsive to public input and development of
mitigation actions complementary to those goals. A range of actions must be
identified specific for each jurisdiction. ;) Demonstration that there has been proactively offered an opportunity for
participation in the planning process by all community stakeholders (examples of
participation include relevant involvement in any planning process, attending
meetings, contributing research, data, or other information, commenting on drafts
of the plan, etc.); and) Documentation of an effective process to maintain and implement the plan; and,) Formal adoption of the Multi-jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan by the
jurisdiction's goveming body (each jurisdiction must officially adopt the plan).
Therefore, with a full understanding ofthe obligations incuned by participating in the
FEMA hazard mitigation planning process as a participant in a multi-jurisdictional plan; I
James Nantell, City Manager commit the Citv of Burlinoame to the Association of Bay Area
Govemments (ABAG) Multi-jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Planning effort.

Forum on Public Health Systems and Long-Term Disaster
Recovery
Wednesday, June 3, 2009 - 1 p.m. - 2:45 p.m.
(Regional Planning Committee meeting)
Metrocenter Auditorium - 101 Eghth Street - Oakland
An earthquake or other major disaster will disrupt the delivery of health care in the Bay Area.
In the short term, hospibls and critical care faciliues are critical to our ability to care for those
who are critically injured. However, as we recover in the \/eeks and months following an
earthquake or other major disaster in the Bay Area, other fucilities are equally essential.
b ln L973, as a direct result of the devastation caused by the 1971 Sylmar quake (65 deaths
and a hospital collapse), the Legislature passed the Alfi'ed E. Alguist Hospital Seismic
Safety Act. The act requires that acute care hospitals be designed and constructed to
withstand a major earthquake and remain ooerational immediately after the quake.
The act was again modifted following the Nodhridge earthquake with SB 1953.
F The requiremenb that hospitals remain operational are exacerbated by the age of
Califomia's hospitals. The California Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development
(OSHPD) noted that, in 2008, the average age ofthe dangerous hospital buildings was
from 4549 years - and that tie average usetul life of a hospifal is typically only 40-50
years. OSHPD focus is on monitoring the billions of dollars need to retrofit or replace the
region's hospitals.> Addiuonal planning is needed at the city and county levels to identifo and work with the
ancillary health facilities in the region, including pharmacies, doctor and dentist offices,
offices that sell hearing aids and eye glasses, dialysis centers, and emergenry clinics. At
the present time, there is NO sbte law that states that the buildings these faciliues are
located in must to structurally sound or that they have business continuity plans.
F \tVhile hospitals are licensed by the Shte, ancillary facilities obtain their building permits
and business licenses from cities and counties, ensuring that this effort remains local.
There is a critical need for coordination of business recovery planning between local
govemments and these ftcility operators and owners.
ABAG is holding a series of lunch workshops in conjunction with RPC meetings to discuss
several key issues that should be of concem to local elected officials and city managers. These
forums serve as training for Bay Area elected officials as we work to ensure that the RPC,
reporting to ABAGT ftecutive Board, is in a position to act as a Regional Reavery Task
furefor lhe region in the weeks, months and years following a major disaster event as the
region rebuilds. This workshop is the seventh in this workshop series.
Please pre-register for this FREE event by calling Jeanne Perkins at 5tO.&4.7934 ot
emailing her at jgannqg@aEag.ca.gov. This particular workshop is an essential step in
improving planning for disaster recovery.

mentioned in a previous email, we received comments from FEMA in early June and lve been working hard to
address those commenb and develop a ternplate anno( for you all to follow. A completed local annex is
required for participation in the LHMP, Alameda County and Vacaville have graclously agreed to be the guinea
pigs in developing the template.
fm now ready to share that template with you, with the caveat that it could still change a btt based on FEMA
commenE. But I think we've oome up with something thafs pretty dam close, I will be submltting the revised
LHMP along with the two sample anno\es (plus ABAG and MTC) in early August. I will be holding two workhops

Cell Phone Guidelines
Studies disagree as to whether there is a causal link between cell phone use and damage
to brain or other human tissue. When the longest-running study was started 10 years ago,
the "heavy user" category ofcell phone user, where correlation with health risk was most
perceived, was 30 minutes per day, which
is now the overage use in the United
States. Only one very limited health study
has reviewed long-term effects of cell
phone use on children, whose skulls are
less thick than adult skulls. That study
found a much greater risk for children.
ln May 2011 the World Health OrBanization listed cell phones in the same "possibly
carcinogenic" category as certain pesticides, coffee, lead and engine exhaust. The Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) mandates that all cell phone manuals caution users to
hold the phone a short distance (.6 inch to 1 inch) from the body. (See your manual's fine
print.)
While scientists continue to research and debate this matter, here are some simple things
you can do to minimize your exposure to cell phone emissions:
1. Anything that puts distance between the cell phone and your body, such as
texting or using a hands-free headset or speaker mode, significontly reduces
cell phone radiation on your body. When using a hands-free headset, the cell
phone should not b€ next to your body.
2. Carry cell phones in a holster or purse as opposed to very close to the body.
3. Avoid using cell phones in areas with weak signals, such as elevators, buildings
and poor cell quality areas, where they emit more radiation while trying to
connect to cellular towers.
4. Never text while driving, and keep even hands-free calls to a minimum in the
car. Multiple studies show that using a phone while driving is akin to driving
drunk.
5. Limit cell phone use, particularly by children.
6. lf you wish, you can ask cell phone retailers or search the lnternet for
information on each phone's "Specific Absorption Rate," which is one FCC-
mandated measure of how much radiation is emitted by each phone.
This document wss prepored by the gu ingome Aty Couocil, bosed on input from industry ond wriws scientilic sources,
in August 2077. lt is designed to ptoide genercl informotion concening cell phone use; it is not intended os o scientific

6.2 Pedestrian Corridors - Discussion and update on Adeline/Cortez, Oak Grove/Ansel and
ECR sidewalks
Mr. Chou reported that he would seek clarification as to whether the option to use arrow
signs can be applied at unmarked crosswalks such as Adeline and Cortez Avenue. He
also stated that other alternatives or traffic calming measures would be considered as
alternatives just in case. Mr. Chou added that several changes occuning at Lincoln
School could affect pedestrian traffic patterns on the surrounding streets. He
recommended waiting until those changes were in place before further consideration of
alternative changes.
Mr. Chou reported that the Painting & Sign crew would be including marked crosswalk
work along Oak Grove Avenue in their summer schedule. An additional marked
crosswalk would be installed at Ansel Road; however, because of a large tree at the
sidewalk of the intersection, there still was some problem with determining exactly
where to install that crosswalk and associated access ramp. Mr. Chou reported that he
would provide a follow up report in a future Transportation Enginee/s Report once it
was determined if a new ramp could be included in an upcoming Handicap Ramp
Replacement Program.
Finally, Mr. Chou reported he was waiting for Caltrans to provide the appropriate
contacts to pursue the matter of the condition of sidewalks along EI Camino Real.
Commissioner Akers reiterated the need to push for walk-able sidewalks along El
Camino Real. Mr- Chou stated that historically the Caltrans response was that there are
no available funds. Mr. Chou added that a strategy needed to be formed to address
Caltrans' lack of funds response, such as a collaborative effort between the two
agencies to seek grants. He also suggested the possibility of a subcommiftee to
continue exploring this alternative.
6.1 Commission Appeals Policy - Discussion of authority of Commission to establish policy
Commissioner Akers made a presentation questioning whether or not there should be a
procedure for appeals of TSPC decisions to the City Council; and if so, should the
procedure be adopted by the Commission, or the Council. Potential courses of action
were discussed:- Propose the adoption of an ordinance- Request City Attorney opinion- Take no action

Police last month focusing on National Distracted Drivers Awareness.
Corporal Witt reported that he and Mr. Chou would be working jointly on a project to
either rezoning or shifting use-priority of certain City lots in the Broadway area. He
added that staff would be bringing details to the Commission as a future meeting item.
Corporal Wift reported that the City Manager has requested the Pollce Chief look at the
feasibility of implementing parking pay stations that accept credit cards. A study would
be conducted in June, in which, approximately 50 parking meters on one side of
Burlingame Avenue would temporarily have parking meters that accept credit cards. He
stated that this field study test would last 90 days. Corporal Witt also reported that there
would be a meeting and presentation with the vendor on April 19th regarding the actual
meter units, and that interested Commissioners should contact him.

Commission comments:
Feels the use is a good place for the business; however, concemed about the restroom location. Tr . -.;
is already a portion of the wall along Howard Avenue that could be the location for the restroom to free-
up the windows.
There are other options for the restroom location; believes a solution is possible.

Reference staff report dated July 1 1 , 201 't , with attachments. Associate Planner Strohmeier presented the
report, reviewed criteria and staff comments. Sixteen (16) conditions were suggested for consideration.
Chair Yie opened the public hearing.
James Chu, 55 West 43d Avenue, San Mateo; represented the applicant.
Commission comments:
Thinks the changes that have been made are a nice touch.
Likes the addition of the porch-
Appreciates the attempt to pay homage to the existing house.
On the left elevation; was the trellis removed due to lot coverage issues; can it be placed back on the
plan? (Chu - can add it back to the design.)
Feels the arches on the porch could make it seem too closed off from the street and cause it not be
used - could a single arch be provided? (Chu - could make one larger arch.)
Feels the arch on the original design was better; would also like to see the design canied over to the
windows.
Would like to see more brick carried around onto the front porch to dress up the arches.
Complemented the architect on the provision of a porch - the house has a better flow now.
Asked if the applicant has spoken to the neighbor on the left - sometimes neighbors have concerns
regarding large windows. (Chu - clarified that the setback is more than six feet; the staircase is the
only element that impacts the declining height envelope.)
Public comments:
Alan Skoken, 1041 Balboa Avenue; Anna Marianella, daughter of former owner of 1 037 Balboa Avenue; and
Pat Giorni, 1445 Balboa Avenue; spoke:
CITY OF BURLINGAME PLANNING COMMISSION - Unapproved Minutes July 11 , 2011
Owns the home to the right of the project.
A lot of sunlight is available to his home; concerned that allowing a two-story home that is not setback
from the street will block a lot of sunlight to his home. Consider bringing bedroom two closer into the
home, or eliminate it all together to reduce the impact. (Commissioner - has complied with all
development standards; can't disallow the project if it complies with standards.)
Concerned that the variety of housing and the character of the neighborhood is being changed.
(Commissioner- homes that are small, but nottoo dilapidated are now being redeveloped. Notmuch
that can be done if standards are being met. There is no historic register that could further protect
the existing home. Comments could cause the applicant to consider making revisions to address the
neighbor's concern. Chu - noted that the driveway is on the right-hand side, the combined setback
between the homes is approximately 18-feet, 6-inches.)
Feels that the design is little changed; the home appears like a castle.
The added brick looks like brick veneer
The porch looks like dead space.
Not every home needs to be supersized.
The roofline is busy; looks somewhat tacky.
Need a definition of what a porch element actually is; what is proposed looks more like a patio at
ground level.
The area will receive full sun all day long; itwill not be a comfortable place to be; howdeep is it- is it
at least six-feet in depth?
The neighbor will never be able to look out the side window again and see a moon rise due to the
size of the new home.
Concerned about the 'economics' of the situation - the homes are maximized in order to maximize
profits for the developer.
This is the same house that was presented previously.
Noted that the shutters have been removed from the windows.
The Commission can begin to be more sensitive about the homes beginning to look the same in
Easton Addition.
Questioned what style of home is actually proposed.
Additional applicant comments (by James Chu):
Noted that he has spent a lot of time to revise the plans and doesn't appreciate Ms. Giorni's
comments.
There were no further comments and the public hearing was closed
Additional Commission comments
Complimented the architect's design.
Expected more of a difference in the design.
Encouraged the applicant to in the future develop more variety in his designs.
Was surprised to see the shutters removed; wanted to see beefier shutters.
The porch is covered and is 5 % feet deep and can funciion as a porch if it is opened up more and
made more inviting.
Feels there are still some design items that can be addressed by the applicant; wants to see a further
refined design before approval.
Look a providing more brick elements, provide porch columns that are more consistent with the
design, open the porch up a bit more (design of the arch), provide shutters, and a trellis along the
side of the home.

Reference staff report dated July 11 , 20'11 , with attachments. Community Development Director Meeker
presented the report, reviewed criteria and staff comments. Fourteen ('14) conditions were suggested for
consideration. There were no questions of staff.
Chair Yie opened the public hearing
Jason Liu, 46778 Crawlord Street, Fremont; represented the applicant
Commission comments:
Has struggled with the application; there is a lot of house proposed. Understands that several
generations may be living together in the home.
With two-story homes, there are often bathrooms associated with every bedroom.
Even the design reviewer notes that the design could be better - not entirely sure how to improve the
design.
Because so much is being added to the house, there is a flat area at the middle of the roof. What
roofing is proposed for the flat area in the center of the roof? Need more detail regarding this portion
of the roof. Need to determine how this area will be finished.
On the garage doors it is noted that they will be multiple panel design with optional hand-carved
windows - want a commitment to the type of windows. Will need to select the actual window design
that is to be installed.
Over the garage doors, a keystone is shown - what is this element? (Liu - is a wood trim element.)
Normally would see this type of detail over both doors.
A trellis could also be considered above the garage doors.
Noted the addition of flood lights over the garage doors that were not present previously - this is a
problem as they will be impacting the neighbors. Need to reconsider how the exterior lighting will be
handled.
With respect to the greenhouse; it looks like a 1970s addition - would design a greenhouse that is
more reflective of the design of the house.
Could add a two-way chimney.
Still a ways to go to reach a design that is approvable.
4
CITY OF BURLINGAME PLANNING COMMISSION - Unapproved Minutes July 11,2011
Asked about the purpose of the sunroom - it is of a size that would be difficult to furnish. (Liu - was
included to provide more interest to the rear of the home.) Doesn't feel that this is the correct design
solution. There are other ways to articulate the rear elevation.
Could actually include a sunroom within the footprint of the home, can be integrated into the rest of
the house.
ls having a hard time getting away from a square, plain design. Articulation is what is needed, break
up the massing.
There is a lot of potential with the amount of floor area available.
The front elevation has begun to show some life.
Could consider creating an indoor atrium rather than the roof over the central portion of the home.
The roof planes on the sides are much too long.
Doesn't appear that one can get to the rear-yard from the family room. (Liu - there is a sliding door
from the sunroom, plus a door from the family room.)
On the bay window in the living room, does the window go all the way to the ceiling? (Liu - yes.)
Doesn't look like it will work; it is out of scale with the other windows.
Need to see what is actualty being approved; the plans reference elements that will be selected by
the owner - this is not acceptable.
Vinyl windows are not acceptable.
The window trim, building trim and other elements are unidentified - needs to be clarified.
There is nothing that can be approved.
Poorly done design.
Encouraged looking at the front design for inspiration for the garage door design.
Does the home have a crawl space? (Liu-yes.)
Public comments:
. None.
There were no further comments and the public hearing was closed.
Additional Commission comments:
Feels that with a sloping lot, then the FAR should be based upon a buildable lot area.
A lot could be done by building the home back into the hillside; this would assist with the design.
It is possible to build a home on a lot of any grade.
The maximum FAR for the lot is acceptable; however, this design has a long way to go.
Commissioner Gaul moved to deny the application without prejudice-
The motion was seconded by Commissioner Auran
Discussion of motion
Designer has not appeared to take the comments of Design review consultant and the Commission to
heaft; need to address ,he lssues ra,sed.
Chair Yie called for a voice vote on the motion to deny without prejudice. The motion passed +O-3-O

GRANGE, TRG ARCHITECTS, APPLICANT AND ARCHITECT; BRAD AND SUZANNE CRA.-,
PROPERTY OWNERSR) STAFF CONTACT: ERICA STROHMEIER
Reference staff report dated July 1 1, 201 1, with attachments. Associate Planner Strohmeier presented the
report, reviewed criteria and staff comments. Twelve ('12) conditions were suggested for consideration.
Questions of staff:
ls there a reason why there isn't a second floor plan? (Strohmeier - no work is being done on that
level.)
Chair Yie opened the public hearing
Applicant wishes to have the exterior stairs allowed to allow easier movement of items in and out of
the space.
Doesn't seem much different from allowing an access to a room that is at grade.
ls safer to have a stairway from the room.
ls not even a full basement-depth below grade.
Commission comments:
Disallowed the stairway so it wouldn't become a second dwelling unit. (Grange - have b.-a
approved on other projects. A conversion would be done illegally.)
Appears much like a second unit, particularly if a second entrance is allowed.
Clarified that the lower-level is not a basement. (Strohmeier - does not meet the definition for a
basement level.)
Noted that the project already exceeds the FAR, though some changes were madeto reduce square
footage. Beginning to look like an apartment building - there is the potential for the area to be
illegally converted. (Grange - the FAR is exceeded because of the existence of the lower level.)
Public comments:
. None.
There were no further comments and the public hearing was closed.
Additional Commission comments:
No problem with the stair proposal - is practical for furniture movement.
The lower level should be accessible from the main house; is greatly over the FAR.
ls compelled by the fact that the lower level doesn't qualify as a basement; if it were a basement, then
the access could be restricted. Could be somewhat restricted in terms of an access.
How different ls this situation from allowing a second dwelling unit on a lot? (Meeker - based upon
the provisions for second units that are cunently being drafted, the property would not qualify for a
second unit.)
Concerned that a denial could be capricious.

July 11,2011
Randy Grange, 205 Park Road; represented the applicant.
CITY OF BURLINGAME PLANNING COMMISSION - Unapproved Minutes July 11,2011

level.

clarification regarding the demising wall between the tenant spaces - noted that on floor plan the
demising wall is intended to angle over to the window mullion near the walk-in cooler. Noted the

TO ADD SALES OF ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES TO A MINI.MART AT AN EXISTING GASOLINE SERVICE
STATION (GUS GRECO, APPLICANT; GUS AND GLADYS GRECO, PROPERW OWNERS) STAFF
CONTACT: RUBEN HURIN
Reference staff report dated July 1'1, 20'l'l, with attachments. Community Development Director Meeke'
presented the report, reviewed criteria and staff comments. Twenty-eight (28) conditions were suggestec'-
consideration.
Questions of staff:
Asked about the hours for the sale of alcohol at the service station located at Broadway and El
Camino Real? (Meeker - does not recall the restrictions.)
Asked if the Commission could recommend restrictions on the amount of alcohol that is sold.
(Meeker - no, the sale of alcohol is regulated by the Alcoholic Beverage Control Board - ABC.)
Chair Yie opened the public hearing.
Gus and Gladys Greco, 1147 Rollins Road; represented the applicant-
Why did the City Council not approve the alcohol sales previously? (Gus/Gladys Greco -the Council
expressed concern about the location being so close to the freeway. They have demonstrated that
the business can operate soundly. After midnight sales are through a small window. There are
cameras monitoring activities on the site. lf alcohol sales are approved, they will comply with
suggested conditions by the Police Department. They wish to increase revenue for the business.)
Asked if the hours of alcohol sales could be limited by the Commission? (MeekeriGuinan - hours of
alcohol sales is the jurisdiction of the ABC.)
10
Commission comments:
CITY OF BURLINGAME PLANNING COMMTSSTOi, - Unapproved Minutes July 11, 2011
Asked about the patrons who use the location? (Gus Greco - a lot of business from the nearby
apartments. Have another location with alcohol sales with no incidents. Noted that there is no
relationship between alcohol sales and service stations. Greco (son) - also serving people going on
recreational trips. Other businesses that have the approval to sell alcohol have affected the ability of
this business to survive. Willing to abide by any conditions recommended by the Police Department.
Only beer and wine are to be sold.)
Public comments:
. None.
There were no further comments and the public hearing was closed.
Additional Commission comments:
Referenced the list provided by the Police Department of other businesses that sell alcohol.
Noted that on-sale and off-sale alcohol permits are quite different.
Have some physical barriers for this location; people in the area will use the business - it is truly a
convenience store.
Compelled by the fact that existing customers are asking for the addition of alcohol sales.
The Broadway interchange will dramatically change the area and will affect the business.
There is not necessarily an abundance of such uses in this vicinity.
Asked if the permit is granted, could it ever be revoked? (Meeker - the ABC has the authority to
revoke its license. Guinan -the City could also revoke the conditional use permit.)
Commissioner Gaul moved to recommend to the City Council, approval of the amendmentto the Conditional
Use Permit and adoption of a finding of Public Convenience and Necessity, subject to the following

SPACE TO OFFICE SPACE (GARY COHN, CA DEVELOPMENT, APPLICANTAND PROPERTY OWNER;
BR COMMERCIAL, DESIGNER) STAFF CONTACT: ERICA S]BOHMEIER
Reference staff report dated July 1 1 , 201 1 , with attachments. Associate Planner Strohmeier presented the
report, reviewed criteria and staff comments. Nine (9) conditions were suggested for consideration.
Questions of staff:
Asked why revised plans were not provided? (Strohmeier- noted thattandem spaces could notbefit
that would meet code standards for drive aisles.)
Didn't appear to take advantage of the striping option for additional parking.
Asked if staff could work with the applicant to develop a tandem parking plan to maximize parking on
the site. (Meeker- could direct the applicant to work with staff to develop a tandem parking plan that
maximizes the amount of parking on the site and bring it back as an FYl.) Should consider that the
auto repair businesses generally provide more parking than the code requires and take this into
account - conversion to office use would likely decrease the intensity ofthe use.
Chair Yie opened the public hearing.
Gary Cohn, 1408 Chapin Avenue; represented the applicant.

Expressed a willingness to stripe parking spaces as tandem.

CITY OF BURLINGAME PLANNING COMMISSION - Unapproved Minutes July 11,2011
Commission comments
Excited about the conversion of the space.
Noted the proximity to the train station is a benefit.
Asked if there is also a space for a bike-rack? (Cohn - yes, there is room; they intended to install
bike racks.)
Great conversion; it'll convert the use to something that is more to the neighbors' liking.
Would be prepared to approve with submission of a tandem parking plan that can maximize the
parking on the site. ls critical as a mitigation measure. (Cohn - noted that the City doesn't permit
tandem parking.)
Understand that the tandem parking doesn't need to fully comply with standards, but is a means of
mitigating the reduced parking based upon the unique circumstances applicable to the property.
(Cohn - noted that some parking spaces will be replaced on the street due to the removal of curb-
cuts.)
Public comments:

BUILDING HEIGHT FORA NEW, TWO.STORY SINGLE FAMILY DWELLING AND DETACHED GARAGE
(CHELSEA MILLER, APPLICANTAND PROPERTY OWNER; TRG ARCHITECTS,ARCHITECT) STAFF
CONTACT: RUBEN HURIN
Reference staff report dated July 11, 2011, with attachments. Community Development Director Meeker
briefly presented the project description. There were no questions of staff.
Chair Yie opened the public comment period.
Randy Grange, 205 Park Road and Otto Miller, 600 Eucalyptus Drive, Hillsborough; represented the
applicant.
Commission comments:
ls there a reason why the porch cannot be extended to be wider? (Grange - can review this
element.)
The upper floor window could be smaller.
Likes the design.
Feels the roof plan looks a bit disjointed, particularly near the flat area between the two gables.
Therewill bea lotof water sent through a small area and could bea problem. Needs to be reviewed
more closely.
The roofdesign contributes to the mass ofthe house being too much;there could be anothersolution
that could reduce the appealance of mass. There is not necessarily a need for approval of greater
height, could develop a design that falls within the height limits.
Considerthe site conditions when developing the design; something that could include a less sloped
roof. Design based upon the upslope of the lot.
7
o
15
CITY OF BURLINGAME PLANNING COMMISSION - Unapproved Minutes July 11,2011
A lot of houses in the area are of the same design. There are different styles that could be used thp+
have a lesser sloped roof and would not require a special permit.
Likes the sunroom area.
Need to identifo the material on the left side chimney.
The simple metal rail should be dressed up.
A large porch should be provided to soften the front of the house.
House has too much mass; don't need to build to the maximum. The area under the roof is all attic.
(Grange - only the tip of the front gable moves beyond the height limit; other portions of the roof are
lower than the height limit. Has done other roofs that appear more complicated on plan, but are fine
in reality. The building height only exceeds 3O-feet because of the manner in which height is
measured in Burlingame.)
Asked if the triangle next to the chimney is roofing material? (Grange - is flashing. Clarified that ihe
chimney is brick.)
Feels the design is impressive, but has a concern about a special permit for height for a new house.
Working with a sloping lot on an existing house can be more of a challenge; this is notthe case with a
new structure. (Grange - noted that in the past the special permit allowed for flexibility for certain
architectural styles.)
Noted that the presence of the flat roof portion causes concern that there may be a better means of
resolving the roofline that can fall within the height Iimit.
Really need to make a case for a variance and/or special permit for new construction - there is no
reason why standards can't be met under the circumstances. The Commission is making a
conscious effort to ensure that projects comply with the design guidelines.
Agreed that the special permit procedure was intended to allow for variation in design.
Noted that the lot coverage falls below the maximum.
Consider breaking up the paved areas between the garage and the home to reduce the potential for
parking in the area.
ls there any way to preserve the Japanese maple tree - could it be moved? (Grange -wouldn'tv
to reverse the floor plan to save the tree.)
Public comments:
Michelle Taylor, 1365 Drake Avenue; spoke:
Feels it is a beautiful design.
Feels that the roof height could be brought down.
There is already a natural variation in roof heights in the area.
The rear balcony may have privacy impacts upon her yard.
The two columns on the front porch look out of balance.
Additional applicant comments (by Randy Grange and Otto Miller):
Noted that someone could look out a bedroom window into the neighbor's yard, not just from the
balcony.
Shifting the location of the balcony would result in a redesign of the entire house. (Commissioner -
noted that a balcony off of a master bedroom is not a space where there is a high likelihood of privacy
impacts; however, the discussion revolves around proposed revisions. Can't protect privacy due to
the size of lots.)
With respect to the roofline, people moving into the City like more traditional designed homes - some
homes reach heights of 4O-feet with high-pitched roofs. (Commissioner - could lower the plate
height; a steep pitch roof is not required.)
Could provide additional landscaping to preserve privacy.

Reference staff report dated July 11,2O11, with attachments. Associate Planner Skohmeier briefly
presented the project description. There were no questions of staff.
Chair Yie opened the public comment period.
Randy Grange, 205 Park Road; represented the applicant.
Noted that reversing the floor plan creates a better balance forthe street and also preserves the large
Oak tree at the rear of the property.
Four-Square style homes cannot comply with the City's declining height envelope restrictions.
Why not use brick on the chimney? (Grange - could use brick.)
Do the chimneys need to be so high; the fireplaces are gas-fired? (Grange - could be reduced in
height.)
Thinks the Four-Square design is beautiful. Providing a foursquare design is difficultwithin declining
height envelope on a SO-foot wide lot.
Can see justification for a special permit in this instance due to the architectural style selected.
Has a different finish other than shingles been considered for the lower level? An all shingle finish
could make the structure look massive. (Grange - doesn't want to make it appear as a layer-cake,
want to keep subtlety in the differences between the top and bottom of the structure. Could do a
subtle difference in stain between the upper and lower portions of ihe structure.)
I
Commission comments:
July 11,2011
Asked if the shingles will be stained or painted? (Grange - will be semi-opaque stain.)
Concerned that tie design doesn't fit on a sO-foot wide lot given the encroachment into the decli 1
height envelope. (Grange - have approved Colonial designs in many locations.)
The design allows more yard to be retained; the lot coverage is below the maximum permitted.
(Grange - encloses the greatest amount of floor area with the least amount of material.)
Noted that the shutters are not consistent with the window size.
Asked why the bottom of the structure wasn't flared? (Grange - because the ground is not flat.)
Public comments:
Michael Murray, 1367 Columbus Avenue; spoke
There is no movement to the architecture; it is just a 3O-foot high wall of shingles.
The entrance is not very impressive nor interesting.
The Commission asked earlier applicants about materials that are being used; why isn't more detail
being requested in this instance?
Feels the roof compresses the design into the ground.
Concerned about the all shingle exterior finish - wood shingles have a tendency to warp, etc. will
eventually bleach out due water from irrigation hitting them.
Provided photos showing examples of architectural vocabulary of the area.
Design needs more personality.
Referenced some of the homes he finds more attractive on Adeline Drive.
Noted that the Commission allowed the house at Columbus Avenue and Hillside Drive that is a
monstrosity.
Additional comments from applicant (Randy Grange):
Shingles last a long time; they can last over 10O-years if they are maintained.
The design is a traditional, historic look.
The proposed design helps to balance the streetscape.
There were no other comments from the floor and the public hearing was closed
Additional Commission comments:
Understands the traditional design; this application differs from the prior application since the design
resolves itself. Theimpactof thespecial permit for encroachment into the declining height envelope
is less of an impact in this instance.
There is a certain grace to the simplicity of the design.
Believes the shutters are a nice detail and can be sized to look purposeful-will leave this element up
to the architect to decide.
Should provide brick on the chimneys and lower the height of these elements.
Noted that the impact of the eaves is not clearly represented on the two-dimensional plans.

8 CONSIDERATION OF AN ORDINANCE ADDING CHAPTER 25.77 lOTHE BURLINGAME MUNICIPAL
CODE TO REGULATE LOCATION OF TELECOMMUNICATIONS FACILITIES WITHIN THE CITY OF
BURLINGAME STAFF CONTACT: GUS GUINAN
Commissioner Cauchi indicated that he would recuse himself from pafticipating in the discussion regarding
Item 8 (Telecommunications Ordinance) since he has busrness relationships with telecommunications
providers. He left the City Council Chambers.
Reference staff report dated July 25, 201 1 , with attachments. City Attorney Guinan presented the report,
reviewed criteria and staff comments. He recommended that the Commission take public testimony,
provide feedback and pose any questions to staff. The City Council has indicated that it wishes to conduct
a study session regarding this matter in the upcoming weeks. Noted that the Commission will not be taking
action upon encroachment permit applications pending before the Public Works Department. lf any action
of the Public Works Department is appealed, then the matter would be considered by the Planning
Commission.
Questions of staff:
Who will determine if an applicant has adequately responded to any concerns expressed by
residents related to a particular installation. (Guinan - the Community Development Department -
Planning Division would be responsible.)
Noted an error in a cross-reference contained within the draft ordinance. (Guinan - noted that the
error would be corrected.)
Noted that most electrical and telecommunication is underground or at the rear of homes; placir -these items in the public right-of-way, within public view is contrary to the City's policy.
What will happen when technology improves and makes all of these installations unnecessary.
Clarified that a copy of the City's current public right-of-way policies for such installations was
provided. (Guinan - yes.)
Vice-Chair Gaul opened the public hearing.
Public comments.

William Sexton, 2540 Valdivia Way; Jessica Mullin, representing Extenet; Matt Oshinsky, 2505 Adeline
Drive; Pat Giorni, 1445 Balboa Avenue; Barbara Kieri, 2408 Easton Drive; spoke:
Received a notice regarding an installation on De Soto Avenue that was near his house, then
another one on Easton Drive, but didn't receive a notice for that item; was proper noticing provided?
How far does the signal transmit from these installations?
Six sites are planned on upper Easton Drive - why is so much extra equipment being installed when
much of the service will be provided to Hillsborough and San Mateo.
All of the companies are rated - consider limiting the companies to those that are highly rated.
Major concern relates to the creeping incrementalism of what is being done by the utility provider to
the utility poles - more guy wires, poles and other appurtenances will be needed to accommodate
the installations. Will be an increasing eyesore.
What are all of the utilities going to be doing to the utility poles within the next few years?
It may be time to require all utility lines to be buried-
2
VIII. REGULAR ACTION ITEMS
July 25,2011
This ordinance is a good start, but is the beginning of a longer process.
Have had some frustration in working with the City - often time the response is that there is nothing
that can be done because the City is pre-empted by the Telecommunications Act - he has found full
authority for cities to limit installations.
The City should be as aggressive and as complete in its regulatory approach as possible.
Concerned regarding the noticing process.
There is a lot of misinformation being disseminated.
Aesthetics is not the only issue - is the installation really necessary, must document the need.
Have looked at the matter from not only a resident's standpoint, but also from a legal standpoint.
The City is permitted to inquire why an installation should be in a specific area and/or not co-located.
Referenced two Ninth Circuit rulings regarding City authority to regulate the installations.
Applauds the use of the San Carlos ordinance as a model, but should also look at Hillsborough and
Glendale.
Has yet to receive a notice of installations within 300-feet of his property.
Provided a copy of a letter he drafted to the Commission.
Requested that the City consider a moratorium on approving installations until an ordinance is in
place - referenced Glendale's approach to the issue - a moratorium was instituted.
This is the first that has been heard of the proposed ordinance.
Reasonable time, place and manner restrictions may be imposed by the City.
There is substantial evidence in the written record of capacity issues and aesthetics.
Are there gaps in existing service, or gaps in proposed service?
Clarify that the ordinance will require confirmation of gaps in existing service.
Suggested requiring a bond, looking at other health and welfare effects, look at height restrictions.
Suggested requiring installation of story poles to determine visual impacts.
There is serious competition amongst the telecommunications providers - referenced download
speeds of different providers.
Come up with an ordinance that will fit with longterm goals.
Citizens of Burlingame should not be a victim of the companies.
Addressed a particular installation proposed near his residence on Valdivia Way.
Referenced the methodology for determining the appropriate location for installations - Eltenet's
installations are not as sensitive to location requirements - the company should have the burden of
showing that the particular site is the least intrusive location for the facility.
Wireless providers must provide information showing that less sensitive locations have been
considered.
On behalf of Extenet, agreed with postponing deliberations on the proposed ordinance.
Also agreed with completing processing of existing applications underthe current City policies and
procedures.
Noted that the Ciffs staff report accurately represents the authority provided to the City for
regulating such installalions.
Extenet strongly opposes any moratorium - the cunent process provides adequate regulatory
authority to proceed with current applications.
Time for the City to put the brakes on the process.
The City has a duty on behalf of the citizens to protect its residents.
The process to date seems like it has been on "auto-pilot". lnadequate noticing has been provided.
Someone in the City government needs to step back and re-evaluate the process.
lf as a consensus in the City, the City must explain ats legal strategy on how to approach this issue.
Must be certain that the City is on sound legal ground to battle the companies involved.
Thanked the Commission and the City Attorney for getting ahead of the situation early.
The Commission has been working on this issue and continues to do so.
Doesn't think that a moratorium is inappropriate - don't need to move full speed ahead on
something that is not fully understood. Must make decisions with full information.

CITY OF BURLINGAME PLANNING COMltt SSrOAl - Approved Minutes
CITY OF BURLINGAME PLANNING COMMISSION - Approved Minutes July 25,2011
The City Council will likely schedule public hearings regarding the issue
Has not received notification of the proposed installations.
There were no further comments and the public hearing was closed
Commission comments:
Asked for clarification regarding the method of notification for the current applications? (Guinan -
Public Works used the regular 300-foot noticing radius. Meeker- not certain if the typical blue card
notice was used since Public Works coordinated the noticing.)
Expressed concern about the increase in the number of telecommunications installations. Peoples'
acquisition of the latest phone technology have contributed to the need for increases in
infrastructure.
ls not certain that there is a consensus of opinion in the community - have a need to do what is
right.
The City needs access to expertise in the field - something needs to be in the ordinance to provide
for independent review of applications and for addressing the interests of neighbors. Should be part
of the application fee and borne completely by the applicant.
What will the permit fee be for such installations - typical fees are related to the construction cost,
but these installations have minimal construction cost. There needs to be some study of the
appropriate fee for processing the applications.
The aesthetic issues and the addition of more installations must be adequately reviewed and
considered.
This is a significant issue for the community.
ls it possible to consider a moratorium. (Guinan - will review and determine if it is possible. lt would_
be a complete bar from allowing any installations during that period.)
How can the utility companies install the equipment at ground level when City policies requirv
installations to be underground?
Can the League of California Cities be involved? (Guinan-hasbeen involved in the pastwith some
limited success.)
Public hearing was reopened
Deirdre Shaw, 2536 Valdivia Way; spoke:
Provided photos of the proposed installations in her neighborhood.
Provided photos of the impacts upon the view from her neighborhood to demonstrate the potenlial
impacts.
Has lived in the City since 1996 - bought their home for the view and the neighborhood.
Disturbing to see the proposed installations outside of her window.
ls a cilizen that loves the City and feels like it is being sold out.
Supported a moratorium on the installations.
There were no further comments and the public hearing was closed
Noted that some ofthe residents concerns have been addressed in the draft ordinance.\
There remains a lot of discussion ahead on this topic.

report, reviewed criteria and staff comments- Sixteen ('16) conditions were suggested for consideration.
Questions of staff:
. Noted that the lot was originally part of a larger parcel; were there any conditions of the subdivision
that would have applied to the application? (Strohmeier - unknown-)
Vice-Chair Gaul opened the public hearing.
James Chu, 55 West 43d Avenue, San Mateo; represented the applicant.
Commission comments:
Applicant has improved the design.
Encouraged inclusion of front porches on future projects as well.
Likes to see larger front porches and even using some of the FAR to accommodate that element.
(Chu - encouraged the Commission to review the Zoning Ordinance limitations to increase
exemptions from FAR for front porches.)
Noted that front porch exemptions were considered by the Neighborhood Consistency
Subcommittee.
A front porch can provide the illusion of more room to use.
A porch makes for a much softer relationship with the street - can also provide an "outdoor room"
that is very useable space.

Commissioner Cauchi retumed to the dais.
CITY OF BURLINGAME PLANNING COMMISSION - Apprcved Minutes July 25,2011
Still a proponent of homes not being built to the maximum FAR.
The front of the home looks flat; the front door seems vulnerable to the sidewalk.
Older homes were built much higher up, perhaps because of the proximity to Sanchez Creek.
Hoping that the Commissioners are aware of the "flavo/ of the prior Commission discussion
regarding the project.
Curious regarding any conditions related to the prior subdivision of the property.
Additional Commission comments:
The new home has a lower lot coverage calculation than the existing home

report, reviewed criteria and staff comments. Twelve (12) conditions were suggested for consideration. a
Questions of staff:
. None.
Vice-Chair Gaul opened the public hearing.
Randy Grange, 205 Park Road; represented the applicant.
Commission comments:
Public
Noted that the applicant is actually asking for two stairs down to the lower level- doesn't argue that
the stairway wouldn't have ordinarily been allowed; however, the building exceeds the FAR limit.
This application is unique because of how much is being asked forwith the application. (Grange -
definitions aside; the property ownerwould need to break the lawto convert the space into a second
dwelling unit.)
The house is large and not articulated well - the applicant is asking for more than what most people
have. Others have only a stairway within the interior of the home, as this home currently has.
(Grange - noted that the definition of a basement changed previously - the area would not have
counted as floor area at that time.)
Are penalizing the applicant for a pre-existing condition.
ls not having two stairs to a lower level really a penalty?
ls still additional construction on a lot that exceeds the FAR. (Grange - how is the stairuay
associated with the FAR?) ls still pushing the envelope of the house further out to the limits.
comments:
Jess Myres, 2304 Poppy Drive; spoke
There is an approved main entrance within the main building.
The lightwell was provided for fire exiting purposes.
What is the current setback; does the stainvell entrance exceed the setback? He had to build his
addition to comply with the declining height envelope and other setbacks. (Strohmeier- noted that
the sunken stairwell doesn't affect the side yard setback.)
Given the make-up of the addition, then what isthe purpose of the already approved interior stairwell
- why should another stairwell be added? Sounds like the applicant is attempting to create an in-
law apartment.
He would be subject to the traffic of people moving up and down the stairs - if to be approved, then
it should be moved to the Columbus Avenue side, it would eliminate impact upon his property.
There were no further comments and the public hearing was closed
Doesn't see the need for a second stairway.
The home already exceeds the FAR - the change would add to a design that is already
unacceptable.
Have been consistent in disallowing a second stairway to areas with bathrooms and bedrooms in
the lower level.
I
Additional Commission comments:
CITY OF BURLINGAME PLANNING COMMISSION - Approved Minutes July 25, 2011
Agrees with the opinions expressed regarding the massive design of the house, but can't find a
reason for the stairwell given the interior stairs-
lf it doesn't contribute to FAR, then doesn't know why it can't be accepted.
Not worried about the potential for a second dwelling unit.
Thinks the house is massive and bulky and the stair is not adding to the mass and bulk.
Doesn't know of anything in the Building Code or Fire Code that would prohibit a second access as
proposed.
Originally approved with a light-well.
There is hardly anything left of outdoor space on the lot.
Commissioner Tenones moved to deny the application with prejudice.
The motion was seconded by Commissioner Cauchi.

Commission comments:
Will the front hand rail require more intricate balustrades? (Grange - if more than 3o-inches above
grade, will require more intricate balustrades. Also provided examples of rooflines on other projects
that have been more complicaled.)
Suggested a spark arrestor on the chimney cap. (Grange - will actually be a terracotta pot.)
Encouraged building up the area adjacent to the porch to avoid the need for a guard rail.
Why is the home so close to the maximum FAR? (Grange - in order to achieve the desired look the
FAR was needed.)
None.

Vice-Chair Gaul opened the public hearing.
Randy Grange, 205 Park Road represented the applicant.
Commission comments:
Noted that an error in the brick finish was noted as stone. (Grange - is an error, will be brick.)
Why are garages being built at 427 square feet? (Grange - because of the space needed to allow
for the finishing of the interior. The extra square feet come out of the house FAR.)
Public comments:
Pat Giorni, 1445 Balboa Avenue; spoke:
Was under the impression that if a new home is being built, there would be a discouragement of
special permits for declining height envelope. Assumes thatthere is some compelling reason forthe
special permit request in this instance. (Commissioners - noted that the special permit in this
instance has less of an impact upon neighboring properties. The architectural style necessitates
some special consideration in order to accommodate a "Four-Square" design on a 5o-foot wide lot.
Semi-reluctantly agreeing in this instance in order to promote architectural diversity. Does not mean
that this type of style will always warrant a special permit for declining height envelope.)

Understands the Commission's concerns regarding tying up an approved conditional use permit for

needed, prior to expiration.
Noted that the City Attorney has agreed that a voluntary acceptance of the condition by the applicant

Dlscusslon of motion:
There will likely be a design review application that may come forward on this space in the future. ls
the first step to allow the building owner to move fonttard with the tenancy.
Feels that the approvalwill put other Sub-Area A property owners at a disadvantage.
There will need to be changes to accommodate the trash enclosure-
Won't know about the ultimate configuration of the tenant space until a tenant is selected.
This appticant is taking the last space, but is making an effort b move forward.
The applicant feels confident that a restaurant can be secured.
The City can always agree to open up more spaces.

Pat Giorni, 1445 Balboa Avenue; spoke:
ls asking for a special permit for a new house.
There is very Iittle variation provided in Colonial-style architecture; very similar to other projects by
the applicant.
Finds it humorous that the "Cape Cod" style is proliferating in the neighborhoods.
Burlingame has become a living textbook of various architeciural styles.
Complimented the interior floor plan.
Now that he is designing a home for himself; is pleased to see that he is incorporating many of the

Commission comments:

Vice-Chair Gaul opened the public hearing
19
Are there restrictions for signage for corner store retail? (Brooks - would be restricted to the sizes
that would be permitted in a residential area. Will review to ensure that there are no changes
required to the sign ordinance. llluminated signage would not be allowed in residential districts.)
With respect to financial institutions in the Burlingame Avenue Commercial District; could there be a
limitation on the square footage allowed? Doesn't like what is happening at Howard and Primrose
with a concentration of banks adjacent to the core area. (Brooks - could make it a conditional use
permit so that the vault location could be addressed.)
Could see allowing small footprint financial institutions on Burlingame Avenue. (Brooks - could
consider but would need direction from the Commission.) Could limit the size to perhaps 1,000
square feet.
lf there is a second dwelling unit allowed on a 6,000 or greater square foot lot, then the combined
FAR would have to be within the code limits? Could there be an argument made by property owners
of 5000 square foot lots that their income potential for their property is reduced because of the
threshold? (Brooks - yes, the main house and the second dwelling unit would have to fall within the
FAR regulations. Was more a concern regarding the limitations on the impact of second units on
smaller lots upon the neighborhood. State law allows discretion in creating regulations that balance
community impact. Guinan - as long as there is a rational basis for distinction, it wouldn't be
considered discriminatory and the regulation can be justified. Brooks - other communities have
applied similar standards.)
The impact is all proportional given the overall limitation on the maximum FAR.
Requested clarity regarding the number of restaurants (Brooks - the restaurants added and
subtracted from the list are all existing restaurants, the change only reflects the change in
boundaries of the Burlingame Avenue Commercial District).
July 25,2011
Public comments
Nancy Dobson, 716 Burlingame Avenue and Jennifer Pfaff, 615 Bayswater Avenue; spoke
Live in an area that is convenient to walk to Downtown - concerned regarding the inability to review
the information.
Concerned regarding the safety of people that must cross the railroad tracks to access Downtown.
Concerned about adding more high-density housing to the area near the train station.
Staff for the summer camps use the on-street parking and prohibit the streets from being cleaned.
Noted that height limits were restrained in the Anita Road area adjacent to the prior speake/s
neighborhood.
The new reduced parking standards will not apply to the Myrtle Mixed-Use Zone and Anita Road
afea.
Agreed with the 6000 square foot lot size threshold limit for second dwelling units.
Thanked Commissioners Vistica and Terrones regarding their review of the proposed amendments,
particular regarding the setback on El Camino Real. Since the area is not residential, there is less
chance for intrusions into the setback area and there should be adequate room for tree canopies.
Noted that elsewhere in the City there is a landscape requirement for 10% of the setback area, but
for the few parcels on El Camino Real it doesn't appear to be included. Some type of landscaping
should be required where there is a minimal setback.
Thought that there was a reference to minimizing egress onto El Camino Real where feasible, in
order to preserve the trees and minimize curb-cuts.
Hopefully future work on signage will address El Camino Real issues.
With respect to corner store retail, doesn't believe such a business can survive without alcohol
sales; is there a public process to allow public input.
It would be nice to allow a corner store within some of the small bungalows in order to preserve tl- -structures.
ls the lack of a setback for corner stores a detriment for an adjacent multi-family residential use that
may exist next door?
Appreciates the input from the residents.
With respect to the alcohol matter, there is a publlc process. (Guinan - the Alcoholic Beverage
Control Board (ABC) has sole authority to issue alcohol permits. As a practical matter, Burlingame
is an area of overconcentration of licenses - in this instance, the local legislative body must adopt a
finding of public convenience and necessity prior to permit issuance. lf a location were to open in an
area that does not have an undue concentration, then the ABC would be allowed to issue the
license. Meeker - noted that the ABC determines overconcentration by census tract.)
A new commercial building can be designed to be a good neighbor and an asset to a neighborhood.
lf the corner store is separate, it would be subjected to design review.
Additional public comment:
John Root, 728 Crossway Road and Neil Dobson, 716 Burlingame Avenue; spoke
The plan and the implementing regulations are intended to provide good direction regarding how
development is to occur. Agrees with the policy direction of the Downtown Specific Plan.
Was the area east of the railroad added to provide more opportunities for housing? (Brooks - was
included to provide the opportunity to better accommodate the mix of uses that are currentlr-r
present.)

Asked about the emergency shelter mandate? (Brooks - noted that the designated area to comply
with State regulations and the Housing Element is in the north end of the Rollins Road area nearthe
BART station.)
Further Commission comments
Thanked Jennifer Pfaff and John Root for their contributions to the Downtown Specific Plan process
as members of the Citizens Advisory Committee.
Clarified that the area east of the railroad tracks was added to improve the connection to Downtown.
Noted that there are buildings in the Myrtle Road area that were converted to multiple units with no
additional parking, and new projects with the current parking standards would have reduced parking
impacts.
There were no further comments and the public hearing was closed
More Commission comments
Noted that the matter of allowing financial institutions of limited floor area and landscaping in
setback areas of commercial zones require further discussion. Noted that in commercial areas,
want to use the build{o line to provide wider walking spaces and seating areas, landscaping would
not be precluded, but might be best to review landscaping on a case by case basis as a part ofthe
design review process (Meeker - could request staff to make the change regarding financial
institutions and move it forward to the City Council with the revisions.)
Add financial institutions of limited floor area as a conditional use in the Burlingame Avenue
Commercial District with a report back to the Planning Commission on the final recommendation
to the City Council.

presented the report, reviewed criteria and staff comments. Sixteen (16) conditions were suggested for
consideration.
Questions of staff:
. None.
Chair Yie opened the public hearing.
James Chu, 1032 Balboa Avenue, represented the applicant.
ln response to the letter from the neighbor at 1 028 Balboa Avenue; a survey was prepared around 7-
years ago and noted that the fence fot 1028 Balboa Avenue is actually on his property. He has
agreed to work with the neighboring property owner to maintain access to the garage on that
property.
Public Comments:
Jack Phelan, 1028 Balboa Avenue and John Tulich, representing the owners of 1017 El Camino Rear,
spoke:
Not anticipating problems but wanted to be certain that the issue of the driveway for 1028 Balboa
Avenue crossing the property line with 1032 Balboa Avenue is brought to the attention of the
Commission.
Expressed concern that the special permit for declining height envelope will block light to the
balconies on the adjacent apartment building.
The two-car garage is being placed on an easement where nothing is to be built, and the structure is
too close to a power pole. (Commissioners - clarified that the structure is forward of the easement
by one-foot; the applicant has complied with setback requirements. Meeker - there is no
requirement for maintaining a distance from the power pole. Hurin - noted that the speaker was
referencing another property, not the project site.)
Commission comments.
What is the applicant's intent regarding resolving the property line matterwith the adjacent property
owner? (Chu - will perhaps use different pavers without a fence; place a fence closer to the rear of
the property. lntends to work with the property owner to reach an agreement. Will most likely need
to disclose this condition to future property owners.)
Is a shared driveway possible? (Chu - no. Will not know how to definitively approach a solution
until the surveyor sets the corners in the field and the property line is established. Hurin - the
property owners could choose to enter into an easement agreement to preserve a useable
driveway.)
The project plans are predicated upon being able to move the fence? (Chu - yes.)

VIII. REGULAR ACTION ITEMS

that prior to scheduling the framing inspection the applicant shall provide a certification by the project
architect or residential designer, or another architect or residential design professional, that
demonstrates that the project falls at or below the maximum approved floor area ratio for the
property;
CITY OF BURLINGAME PLANNING COMMISSION - Unapproved Minutes August 8, 2011
Noted that there were no story poles installed, and there was not a notice posted in front of the
property. (Hurin - noted that the project did not trip the threshold as a new construction project. The
Commission did not request story pole installation at the prior meeting-)
Chair Yie opened the public hearing.
Jaime Arguelles, 449 Abbot Avenue, Daly City and Elizabeth Sin, 1787 Escalante Way; represented the
applicant.
Based upon the meeting with the designer reviewer, changes were made that reflect the
Commission's direction as well as the suggestions of the design reviewer. Described lhe changes.
Asked if the property owner met with the neighbors? (Sin - did not have any comments, the most
affected neighbor was comfortable with the changes.)
Noted discrepancies in the garage door design (lights on the existing door, but none on the
proposed elevation); there are discrepancies related to the existing versus proposed design
elements and other features; need to see what is being approved. The shadow line on the plan
obscures some features. (Arguelles - there are windows shown on the existing plan.)
ls the intent to retain the existing garage door? (Arguelles - yes. Will not be making any changes to
the existing structure.) Need to be certain that the drawing matches the existing features so that it is
clear what is being retained.
ls the railing on the front remaining? (Arguelles - yes, it is to remain.)
Need to be certain that new features match the existing-
The front elevation is improved; however, the side and rear elevations continue to appear very flat;
need to provide some form of relief - could provide a rear porch thatcan add some interest, perhaps
a trellis, or a bay window. Would like to see changes in these areas. The design still has a ways to
go.
Has another location been considered for the addition? The placement of the addition will impact
the feel ofthe cul-de-sac. (Sin - wouldn't want to build on the other side of the house, since itwould
be much closer to Trousdale Drive. Arguelles - there is only 1s-feet clear, level area on the other
side of the structure.)
Feels that the proposed location of the addition is lhe better alternative.
Public comments
None.
There were no further comments and the public hearing was closed
Additional Commission comments:
Need to ensure that the drawings are accurate, reflecting all design elements, including those
elements that are to be retained on the existing structure.
Requested that story poles be erected prior to the next scheduled meeting.
Appears that there is a chimney provided for a fireplace; but it does not appear on the proposed
building elevations; clarify.
Need to correct errors on the drawings; ensure that the proposed plans are clear.

Firefighter/paramedic Casey Pera led the efforts to raise funds for the Muscular
Dystrophy Association through a 'Tillthe-boot" drive held on July 26h. Along
with six offduty firefighters (Captains Royal, Tsivikas and Baker, Firefighters
Paulus, Barahona and Klarich), volunteer intem Shimaya, and Casey's father,
retired SFFD Mike Pera, the group raised $6,600. Congratulations and thanks
to those who gave their time for a great cause.
Our office staff received Automatic Extemal Defibrillator (AED) and CPR training
on July 12h from our own EMS Division Chief John Kammeyer.
serious injury with one seeking medical treatment for neck and shoulder pain
when struck by the falling building material. The fire was caused by three teen-
age boys who were playing with fireworks. This residence falls under the
jurisdiction of San Mateo County Fire which will be pursuing mst recovery for
the illegal activity.
During the month, our Emergency Preparedness Coordinators worked with
Burlingame High School staff to review and improve their disaster and
emergency preparedness plan. On July 18h we met in a study session with the
Burlingame Council and representatives of Burlingame Neighborhood to
discuss providing assistance with their organizational structure, interaction with
the CCFD, and how to improve communications with our EOC during a disaster.
Follow-up meetings and training sessions are planned which will include
representatives from Hillsborough too.
Fire Prevention interaction in July included a meeting of the San Mateo County
Fire Safe Group and a meeting with San Mateo County Fire Department to plan
the destruction of confiscated fireworks cunently in our possession.
During the last week of July, CCFD personnel participated in an Urban Search
and Rescue (USAR) exercise at NASA's facilities at Moffett Field. The exercise
took place over three days and included participation by CCFD's special
operations group along with members of San Mateo & South San Francisco
FD's. All participants agreed that this was an excellent test of operational
readiness for San Mateo County fire agencies.
The month ended with CCFD participation in the Steelhead Brewery's 2nd
Annual Chili Cookoff. There were 14 teams competing with our department's
entry being voted 3d place in the People's Choice category. Fire Marshal
Rocque Yballa was one of the judges for the event. Firefighter/paramedic
Casey Pera was the lead cook with support from Captain Bruce Banon and
Firefighter/paramedic Steve Ehlers. Their volunteer efforts helped the sponsor
raise funds for Call Primrose.
