Meeting Date: 10/23/06
FYI — CHANGES TO AN APPROVED DESIGN REVIEW APPLICATION FOR A
NEW 2-STORY SINGLE FAMILY DWELLING AND DETACHED GARAGE AT
110 CLARENDON ROAD, ZONED R-1.
History: On both August 14, 2006, and August 28, 2006, the Planning Commission reviewed a revised
landscape plan and new garage doar, for the project at 110 Clarendon Road, as an FYI item. The Planning
Commission accepted the revised landscape plan and a revised garage plan submitted as an FYI item for the
August 28, 2006, Plaiming Commission meeting.
Summary: On June 26, 2006, the Planning Commission approved an application far design review for a new
two-story single family dwelling and detached two-car garage at 110 Clarendon Road, zoned R-1.
The applicant is now proposing minor changes to the approved design for changes in window sizes and
removal of one window from the master bath shower on the second story at the rear of the house (see revised
plans and applicant's letter date stamped October 11, 2006 for a complete list of the proposed changes).
The design of the first and second story addition, other than the changes in window size and the removal of
one window at the rear of the house, remains unchanged. Previously approved building floor plans and
elevations (labeled 'Original') are included for your review.
Plamung staff would note that because of the minar revisions to the window sizes and the removal of one
window at the rear of the house, it was determined that the proj ect could be reviewed by the Commission as
an FYI item. If the Commission feels there is a need for more study, this itein may be placed on an action
calendar for a second review and/or public hearing with direction to the applicant.

C. Deal recused himself Uecause he has a business relationship with the applicant. He stepped down froin
the dias and left the chainbers.
Reference staff report June 26, 2006, with attachments. CP Monroe presented the report, reviewed criteria
and staff comments. Fifteen conditions were suggested for consideration. There were no questions of staff.
Chair Brownrigg opened the public hearing. Tina Chen property owner represented the project. She
summarized the change they had made to the plans since the study session. Commission asked what st�rface
material was proposed for the driveway, stamped concrete would be OK since there is not much hard surface
proposed for this site. It was noted that the proj ect would benefit from a more artistic garage door conveying
a more elegailt appearance stylistically supporting the design of the house; also the second floor balcony at
the rear is rather large, in this case it might work since it is at the center of the lot, but generally discourage
such large balconies because of impacts on the neighbor's privacy. Applicant noted they were willing to
reduce the size of the balcony.

Juiae 26, 2006
Pat Giorni, 1445 Balboa Avenue. Lilce to note a typo on the data chart, FAR .49, does the trellis cantilever
from the wall? Yes. Counted the Spanish houses in this area, there are a lot but most of them are one story;
this design is OK but the rear is mare pedestrian fnendly than the front, will invite entertainment in the rear
yard; good house, but too big. There were no further comments from the floor. The public hearing was
closed.

�sured from the

a Waste Reduction Plan and meet recycling requirements; any partial or full demolition of a structure,
interior or exteriar, shall require a demolition permit; (17) that the applicant shall coinply with Ordinance

project shall meet all the requirements of the Califoinia Building Code and Califonlia Fire Code, 2001
edition, as amended by the City of Burlingame. The motion was seconded by C. Brownrigg.
Comment on the motion: could leave the selection of a better garage door to the applicant; agree with the
design reviewer that the landscape plan needs to be improved, currently does not define where the materials
begin and end; should add a condition to keep the site neat and tidy during construction and to maintain the
existing landscaping during the construction process; number of current conditions from public works and
NPDES address maintenance of the site during construction, seems it will be difficult to enforce the site
maintenance as a planning condition. Need to clarify amendments to the conditions of approval:
that the property owner should prepare a fiill landscape plan and submit it to the Planiling
Commission as an FYI priar to issuance of a building permit;
that the garage door shall be replaced with a new garage door which incorporates windows and
conveys a more elegant design consistent with the design of the house to be reviewed as an FYI by
the Plamling Commission prior to the issuance of the building pei7nit; and
that the site shall be maintained in a neat and tidy state before and during construction and that all
current landscaping shall be maintained until it is replaced.
The maker and second of the motion to approve accepted the additional conditions to the motion.
Chair Brownrigg called far a voice vote on the motion to approve with three additional conditions addressing
submittal of a full landscape plan, maintaining the site and site landscaping during constntction, and
replacing the garage door with one that better inatches the proposed design and supports the quality of the
new construction. The motion passed on a 6-0-1 ( C. Deal abstaining) voice vote. Appeal procedures were
advised. This item concluded at 9:10 p.m.
C. Deal returned to the chambers and took his seat.
