Regular Action
Meeting Date: April 8, 2013
Request: Application forAmendment to Design Review and Hillside Area Construction Permit for changes to a
previously approved first and second story addition to an existing single family dwelling, and a new
deck area off the rear of the house.
Applicant and Designer: Jesse Geurse, Geurse Conceptual Design Inc.
Property Owner: John Gumas
General Plan: Low Density Residential
APN: 027-014-100
Lot Area: 82,342 SF
Zoning: R-1
Environmental Review Status: The project is Categorically Exempt from review pursuant to the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), per Article 19 Section: 15301 Class 1(e)(2) of the CEQA Guidelines, which
staies that additions to existing structures are exempt provided the addition will not result in an increase of more
than 10,000 SF provided all public services and facilities are available and that the area in which the project is
located is not environmentally sensitive.
Project Background: An application for Design Review, Hillside Area Construction Permit and Special Permits
for height and attached garage for first and second story addition to an existing single family dwelling at 2_600
Summit Drive was. approved by the Planning Commission on June 28, 2010 (June 28, 2010, Planning
Commission Meeting Minutes attached). A building permit was issued on May 30, 2012, and construction is now
underway.
On September 10, 2012, the Planning Commission reviewed and approved an FYI for 2600 Summit Drive, that
incCuded removing all grids from the windows and doors at the rear elevation and on the windows and doors
towards the rear of the left elevation and to change the size of the glass doors at the rear of the house
(September 10, 2012, FYI memo attached).
On November 13, 2012, the Planning Commission reviewed and approved a second FYI for 2600 Summit Drive.
That FYI approval included: adding an uncovered balcony off the second floor Master bedroom towards the rear
corner of the house, which included replacing some windows with French doors, and which enlarged the
approved lot coverage and floor area ratio by 70.1 SF (6,586 SF, 0.08 FAR proposed); removing a windowfrom
th� garage along the front elevation; reducing the size of several windows along each elevation; and removing
the shed roof extension from the turret off the formal dining room (November 13, 2012, FYI memo attached).
Proposed Revisions: The applicant is now requesting an Amendment to Design Review and Hillside Area
Construction Pecmit for a new proposed deck addition off the rear of the house that will be greater than 30"
above adjacent grade and will therefore count towards the proposed setback and lot coverage calculations. The
portions of the proposed deck addition that will exceed 30" from adjacent grade will be set back a minimum of
15'-4" from the rear property line and will add 484 SF to the overall lot coverage on the property (6.3% lot
coverage proposed, where 5.8% lot coverage was originally approved). The overall height of the proposed deck
addition will range from at grade to over 10' above adjacent grade in certain locations due to the slope on the lot.
Please refer to the attached letter and revised plans submitted by the applicant, dated March 21, 2013, for an
explanation of the proposed new deck addition.
Summary (based on plans submitted March 21, 2013): This large and oddly-shaped lot is located at the
corner of Summit Drive and Belvedere Court in the Hillside Area. The narrow portion of the lot, along Summit
Drive, is considered to be the lot front.
The applicant is proposing a first and second story addition to the existing two-story, 3,997 square foot single-
family dwelling. On the first floor, the applicant is proposing to reconfigure the interior and add a formal dining
room, entry hall and turret, and new garage to the front of the structure. On the second floor, the applicant is
proposing to add a hallway, master bath and closets, and an additional bedroom. With the proposed addition,
the floor area will increase to 6,516 SF (0.08 FAR) where the zoning code allows a maximum of 8,000 SF (0.10
Amendment to Design Review and Hillside Area Construction Permit 2600 Summit Drive
FAR). The proposed project is 1,484 SF below the maximum allowable floor area. The proposed structure will
be 33'-4" above the average top of curb, which req;�ires a Special Permit.
With this project, there is no increase to the number of potential bedrooms proposed (five existing). Three
parking spaces, two of which must be covered, are required on site. Two covered parking spaces (20' x 20' clear
interior dimensions) will be provided in the new attached garage, and the required uncovered parking space (9' x
20') will be provided in the driveway. All other Zoning Code requirements have been met. The applicant was
approve� for the following applications on June 28, 20'! 0:

Re: Admenment to design review for new deck extension to the residence located at 2600
Stuiunit Road for planning and planning commission review and approval.
Dear Members of the City of Burlingame Planning / Planning Commission,
Please fmd enclosed a proposed new deck extension as an amendment to design review
for the above mentioned project that is still under construction. We are looking for
approval for the deck e�tension for the reason that we will be landscaping and hardscaping
the rear yard area and around the pool. The pool deck and coping are slated to be re-
hardscaped in lightweight stone pa�ers. In designing we would like to extend the rear
pool deck outward for larger surface area for the enjoyment of the pool surrounding. The
deck would also be surfaced with lightweight stone pavers to match the new pool
hardscape. We asked the commissioners to please review and approve the added deck
eatension.
Thank you for your attention regarding this project. Should you have additional questions
or concems, p�e do not hesitate to contact us at 650.703.6197
Sincerely,
Jesse Geur�e ,� .
