ITEMS FOR ACTION
3. APPLICATIONFOR SIDE SETBACK VARIANCE AT 2101 RAY DRIVE, ZONED, R-1,
(DAN AND CINDY GRIESEMER, PROPERTY OWNERS AND ALLISON KOHLER,
STEWARD ASSOCIATES, APPLICANT.)
Reference staff report, 6.10.96 with attachments. CP Monroe discussed the request, reviewed
criteria, Planning Department comments, and study meeting questions. Four conditions were
suggested for consideration.
C. Ellis opened the public hearing. John Stewart, project architect, 1351 Laurel Street, San
Carlos, addressed the commission to answer questions. The water heater is connected to a
radiant heating system built in the slab floor and it would be quite difficult to redirect the piping.
The amount over the FAR is 66 SF. One option would be to cut back 2' over the garage, which
would cause the loss of an open glass wall in the back. Cindy Griesemer, 2101 Ray Drive, the
applicant expressed concern over the comments in correspondence that this is a large "hotel"
type addition; she clarified that the major portion of the addition is in the rear and is over the
existing structure. Gilbert Silvey, 2004 Deveraux asked what consideration had been given to
handicapped access. CP related that residential additions do not fall under the ADA
requirements. There were no other comments and the public hearing was closed.
C. Deal noted the removal of the carport is an improvement, it is a minor variance and then
moved approval of this request, by resolution, with the following conditions: 1) that the project
shall be built as shown on the plans submitted to the Planning Department date stamped April
25, 1996 Sheets A2, A3, A4 and A7, and May 22, 1996, Sheets A-1, and A-6; and the side
setback variance applies only to the existing west side of the first floor of the house for 2'-3"
to the chimney, 2'-10" to the water heater enclosure, and 4'-9" from the northwest corner of the
house to 4'-11" at the southwest corner of the house; 2) that all garage doors shall be replaced
so that they open or swing without obstructing the 20'-0" X 20'-0" interior clear dimension
required for the two covered parking spaces, and the revised garage layout shall be approved
by the Planning Department; 3) that the second floor framing shall be reviewed by the Building
Department for compliance with side setback dimensions and declining height envelope
requirements before the final framing inspection is signed off; and 4) that the project shall meet
all the requirements of the Uniform Building and Uniform Fire Codes as amended by the City
of Burlingame.
Motion was seconded by C. Wellford and passed on a 7-0 voice vote. Appeal procedures were
