Attached is the Final Condominium Map for this seven-unit development. Starf tias reviewed this map and compared it to the Tentative Map and project approval given by the Planning Commission and Council in November and December of 1480.

The present map has beeri prepared by a different Engineer and appears technically correct. Staff has one concern, ►iowever, on the guest parking issue. This project as appr•oved in 1980, did not irrdicate secured parking nor did it indicate guest parking. As indicated on this map, eacfi unit f�as 6een assigned two (2) secured parking spaces. Staff notes that there are seven or eight lir�ited t�ime on- street parking spaces adjacent ta th.e site. If the Commission has no objections to the map as shown, it may be re- commended to Counc.il. If the Commission has any recommended changes, the map could be recommended to Council with required corrections. , � Frank C. Erbacher City Engineer FCE:mg cc: T. Farley, Owner L. Arata, C.

Burlingame Planning Commission Minutes Page 3 July 12, 1982 Russian Church of All Saints", Clarence M. Philpott, Pastor, Burlingame Seventh-Day Adventist Church and Stuart P. Coxhead, Jr., Rector, Saint Paul's Episcopal Church; and June 28, 1982 Planning Commission study session minutes. Further reference: July 7, 1982 letter from Wing L. Moy to all Planning Commissioners.discussing his proposed project and justificatian for the variance; and plans date stamped June 22, 1982. Discussion: height of the building on the Fairfield and E1 Camino frontages; the revised garage level plan. Chm. Harvey opened the public hearing. Helen Som, architect for the project, discussed the requested variance, noting it was not for the whole le.r,qth of the.Fairfield frontage. She also pointed out her attempt to mitigate impact oK1 tihe Russian Church with this townhouse design. Drew Turner, 149 Occidental Avenue expres:�d his 'epling the project would add to the neighborhood aesthetically and he did not think +'Lur units would adversely affect the traffic situation. There were no further comments in favor. Gene Satrap, 744 E1 Camino R�al, representing the F;u:�sian Church of All Saints, spoke in opposition: this lot cannot reasonably support vhe developer's project; believe there are three variances, not one; the design is f.�kiny advantage of public open space for the developer's benefit; deficiencies in tl�e parking plan; four unit design is too crowded for this site; oppose any design t'�at does not meet all the codes of the city. Michael Gentleman, 789 E1 Camino Real, expressed opposition to any construction on this site which would produce a visual degradation to the nearby church. Rev. Pavlenko, Russian Church of All Saints, speaking for all members of his congregation, asked that Commission deny ihe applica- tion. In rebuttal, Helen Som, architect, pointed out she cauld design a building much and higher, with more units, that would not require a variance and meet all code requirements. She felt her present design was quality housing whicfi would be an addition to Burlingame rather than a detriment, She stressed the many meetings city staff that had taken place and the developer's efforts to give the city an aesthetically pleasing project for the site. There were no further comments and the public hearing was closed. larger wi th Discussion: the number of units and design possibilities if underground parking were used; it was noted the stairway to the deck out of Unit D extends into the front setback (elimination of that stairway could be a condition of approval); the church has had many years in which to purchase this land itself; the variance request is slight; the architect has done a good job with a difficult lot; two commission members found some difficulty in addressing all the findings necessary for variance approval. C. Graham found there were exceptional circumstances in the configuration of the lot; that the variance was necessary for the preservation of the property rights of the owner of the property in allowing him to build an aesthetically pleasing structure; that it would not be detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare5 and it would not adversely affect the comprehensive zoning plan of the city. C. Graham moved for approval of the variance. Second C. Cistulli; motion approved on a 4-2 roll call vote, Cers Giomi and Harvey dissenting, C. Mink absent. C. Graham then moved for approval of the condominium permit with the following conditions: (1) that the conditions of the Fire Marshal's memo of June 8, 1982, the City Engineer's memo of June 22; 1982 and the Park Director's memo of March 30, 1982 be met; (2) that the final working drawings conform to the plans filed with this application and date stamped June 22, 1982 as amended by the garage plans date stamped July i, 1982 and with elimination of the stairway to the deck out of Unit D which extends into the front setback; and (3) that the final landscaping and irrigation plans be approved by the Park Department prior to the issuance of a building permit. Second C. Cistulli; motion approved on a 4-2 roll call vote, Cers Giomi and Harvey dissenting, C. Mink absent. Appeal procedures were advised.
