PROJECT LOCATION 1008 Toyon Drive City of Burlingame Design Review for a First and Second Story Addition Item # 2 Consent Calendar Address: 1008 Toyon Drive Meeting Date: 2/9/04 Request: Design review for a first and second story addition at 1341 Laguna Avenue, zoned R-1 (C.S. 25.28.040) Applicant/Architect: Randy Grange, TRG Architects Property Owner: Wayne Fairbrother/Jenny Heath APN: 026-240-130 General Plan Designation: Low Density Residential Lot Area: 5,150 SF Date Submitted: November 19, 2003 Zoning: R-1 CEQA Status: Article 19. Categorically Exempt per Section: 15301 Class 1-(e) additions to existing structures provided the addition will not result in an increase of more than 50% of the floor area of the structures before the addition. Summary: The applicant is requesting design review for a first and second story addition at 1008 Toyon Drive, zoned R-1. The existing house is one-story and 1,921 SF (0.37 FAR). The project includes remodeling the interior of the first floor along with removing a small portion (24 SF) on the left side of the house and adding approximately 60 SF at the rear. The second story addition will be 889 SF and will add three bedrooms and two full bathrooms. The addition will increase the total floor area of the house to 2,741 SF (0.53 FAR), where 2,748 SF (0.53 FAR) is the maximum allowed. The existing attached one-car garage is non-conforming with a 19'6" depth. Because the number of bedrooms will be increasing from 3 to 4(study is counted as a bedroom for the parking calculation) the parking space dimensions for the one required covered space must meet current dimension requirements,l0' wide by 20' deep. As part of this proposal the applicant will be moving back the rear wall of the garage 6" to get enough length. The proposed garage change will meet the parking requirement for this four bedroom house.

Staff Comments: See attached. January 12, 2004 Design Review Study Meeting: On January 12, 2004, the Planning Commission reviewed the proposed first and second story addition at 1008 Toyon Drive. The Planning Commission asked the applicant to take a look at the front door treatment since the door will no longer be in the center of the porch, look at more of an entry statement. The applicant submitted revised plans date stamped January 28, 2004 with the following revisions: • Modified the front porch to include an eyebrow and now uses more significant columns as well as adding a railing; • Reconfigured interior relocating dining space and creating a foyer and closet, moved the front door to the side; • Added an additional skylight in the breakfast nook; • Added two small windows on either side of the fireplace in the living room; • Reconfigured upstairs hall bathroom so that the window doesn't look out at the neighbor, moved window location; and • Enlarged garage door in proportion to the wall, result of raising the plate height of the garage to match the rest of the house (plans still stay existing garage door, but size of door is increased, new door will be installed). Design Review Criteria: The criteria for design review as established in Ordinance No. 1591 adopted by the Council on Apri120, 1998 are outlined as follows: 1. Compatibility of the architectural style with that of the existing character of the neighborhood; 2. Respect for the parking and garage patterns in the neighborhood; 3. Architectural style and mass and bulk of structure; 4. Interface of the proposed structure with the structures on adjacent properties; and 5. Landscaping and its proportion to mass and bulk of structural components. Findings: Based on the findings stated in the attached minutes of the Planning Commission's January 12, 2004, design review study meeting, the applicant has done an excellent job on design, trust the applicant will revise the porch appropriately to fit in with the character of the remodeled house, the second floor is integrated well and the house fits in with the neighborhood, the project is found to be compatible with the requirements of the City's five design review guidelines.

Catherine Barber Planner c: Randy Grange, TRG Architects, applicant/architect - A rchitects January 28, 2004 Planning Commission City of Burlingame 501 Primrose Road, Burlingame, CA 94010 Re: 1008 Toyon Dear Commissioner, At the Planning Commission meeting of January 12t", 2004, 1008 Toyon was placed on the consent calendar with the stipulation that the entry be modified somewhat. We believe that this was a good suggestion, and have modified the front porch to inelude an eyebrow, and additionally, more significant columns. The eyebrow solution offers a more inviting entry without cluttering up the front elevation (our previous worry). Since we were re-submitting plans anyway, the owners wanted to include some additional revisions for your review (and hopefully approval). The modifications include: 1. Re-locate the dining space and create a real foyer and coat closet by moving the front door to a side entry. 2. Add an additional skylight in the breakfast nook. 3. Add two small windows to either side of the fireplace in the living room. 4. Re-configure the upstairs hall bath so that the window does not look out at the neighbor. We hope you will find the proposed revisions acceptable. Sinc , Randy Grange RECEIVED JAN 2 8 2004 CITY OF BURLINGAME PLANNING DEPT.
