The changes are as follows: l. Sheet L-l: City sidewalk and driveway realigned to avoid an existing street tree. 2. Sheet DDl: Electric meter location shown and utilities to living units clarified. 3. Sheet DD2: Same change as L-1, and surrounding land uses shown. 4. Sheet DD3: F'ireplace added to unit D, and sound and thermal insulation clarified. 5. Sheet DD4: Fireplace added at SE corner. We trust these changes will meet with your approval, and we will be pleased to discuss them at the hearing on 22 August 1977. Very truly yours, Law/Woodson/Barksdale �����"." � � �G%�'�-----�-�.� Jack A. Woodson, AIA cc: T. Glynn Qurlinyame Planning Commission M�inutes Page 3 August 2?_, 1977 John Casey, the applicant, told Commission he did not belieue the pi�oposed structure would afiect the aesthe�ic value of his or his neighbors' property. He said the neighbors did not have any objection. Commission �ietermined from the applicant that the structure v�ould conform to all City codes; it G•rould be fully insulated; there is a six foot fence of cedar pickets around the�entire lot at the present time. It was further determined the four foot space bet��aeen the applican�;'s house and the pump house �-aould be open, and there ��rould be a self-locking gate which the 6uilding Code requires. C. Sin� noted suUstantial rernodeling and vras told a building pei�nit had been obtained for t:his as Gvell as for the cor�crete blocl: footing and fence. There were no audience comments in favor or opposed and Chm. Taylor declared the public hearing closed. C. Jacobs found this to be an unusual lot v��ith the l0 foot easement on the side and a deep slope; the variance would enable the applicant to use his yard much more effec-cively; the structure 4vould not disturb or be injurious to the neighbors, and ��rould not adversely affect the General Plan of the City. C. f+link found i;hat excessive intrusion of the present house ini:o the backyard does present a hardship to the applicant and there ��aere unusual circumstanees in that the 10 roo�t easement provides the n�cessury and proper separations between dwelling units and other structures. C. Jacobs moved approval of the findings and granting of the variance. Second C: Francard and approved unanimously on roll ca17 vote.. � � �3.

The architect has designed a thin, rectangular building and placed it parallel to, and 20 fee1: avaay from, the back property line. The front elevation has been broken up into a series of balconies and staggered setbacks. The front of the building is also set a�l; about a 30 degree angle from the�front property line.

The three floors above grade will have six 2-bedroom units and two 1-bedroom units per floor. Total building height would be 35 feet a�id maximum lot coverage 50�. Mr. Yost advised the proposal meets all zoning regula�:ioiis. He referr�d to th� City Planner's evaluation in the negative declaration posted August 12, 1977 and �.o the July 29, 1977 statement of overall impacts prepared by i�he architect, Jack 4doodson. The drawings presented for this hearing were somewhat different than those presented for the study meeting, the changes being mainly to preserve exisi;iny City street trees. Jack I�oodson, architect, was preseni: to answer Commission questions. C. Jacobs conm�ented on the desi�n v,�hich has one unit next to park�ing on the ground floor. Mr. Woodson advised an eight inch concrete b1ocE; wall is pl�nned for the area bet�veen the parking and this one unit.

Jacobs that after review of �;he Environmental 1lssessment Form staff had determined that an ETR was not required. 7herefore, a negative declaration had been filed to comply with CEQA requiremeni;s. 1 �urlingame"P1-anning Commission Minutes Page 4 . Au�usi; 22, 1977 Chm.. Taylor requested audience comments. Juliette Lenkert, ].137 Douglas Avenue, sNas concer��ed ��rith the possibility of the condomin�ium becoming an apartment building at some future time. Chm. TayTor tcld f�er it would always b� a condominium; ho�,�ever, any o�rrner of an individual unit could reiit or lease to someone of his choice. fle also told her that requirements for a condominium appear to be more stringent than lease requirements for an apartment building. h•1r. Yost observed that the off-street parking requit�ements for a condominium are the same as required by codc for any ne�v apartment bui.lding. � Secy. Sine read a letter dated August 18, 1977 from Harry M. Lehrfeld of Burlingame� Realty Compan�� supporting the granting of this condominium permit; this letter suggested that some form of so�!ndproofing be recommended by Commission.
