Design Review Amendment
Address: 2509 Easton Drive
Item No. 5
Action Item
Meeting Date: February 24, 2014
Request: Application for Design Review Amendment for as-built changes to a previously approved new, two-
story single family dwelling with an attached garage.
Applicant and Property Owner: Emporio Group Inc.
Landscape Architect: Aitkens Associates
General Plan: Low Density Residential
APN: 027-195-060
Lot Area: 8,850 SF
Zoning: R-1
Environmental Review Status: The project is Categorically Exempt from review pursuant to the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), per Section 15303 (a), which states that construction of a limited number of
new, small facilities or structures including one single family residence or a second dwelling unit in a residential
zone is exempt from environmental review. In urbanized areas, up to three single-family residences may be
constructed or converted under this exemption.
History and Proposed Amendment to Design Review: An application for Design Review and Special Permits
for attached garage and declining height envelope for construction of a new, two-story single family dwelling and
attached garage at 2509 Easton Drive was approved by the Planning Commission on February 27, 2012
(February 27, 2012 Planning Commission Meeting Minutes attached). A building permit was issued in June,
2012 and construction is nearing completion.
At the Planning Commission regular action meeting on February 10, 2014, the Commission continued this item
so that the applicant could address the Commission's concerns with the proposed changes to the project (see
attached February 10, 2014, Planning Commission Minutes). Please refer to the attached meeting minutes,
applicanYs response letter dated February 14, 2014 and revised plans, date stamped February 18, 2014, for
responses to the Commission's comments.
At the meeting, the Commission also noted that there may be changes to the house that were not described in
the FYI. Staff visited the property on February 12, 2014 to check if there were other discrepancies between the
approved plans and the as-built project. Given that construction is complete and there is a current application for
Amendment to Design Review, staff is including changes to the house with this application. The following is a
list of as-built changes as they pertain to the rear deck, landscaping and exterior of house. The list also
describes any changes made since the February 10th meeting in response to the Planning Commission's
concerns.
1) New Patio/Garden Wall in Front Yard: The originally approved project included landscaping in the
area adjacent to the front entry and living room. Soft landscaping in this area was replaced with a
travertine patio and low garden wall (see revised Landscape Plan, date stamped February 18, 2014,
sheet L-1). Please refer to the owner's letter dated January 17, 2014 for additional information. The
Planning Commission did not express any concern regarding this as-built change at the previous
meeting.
2) New Uncovered Deck at Rear of House: The originally approved project included an 88 SF uncovered
deck and stairway at the main level at the rear of the house. The property owner modified and increased
the amount of uncovered decking at the rear of the house. In a letter dated January 17, 2014, the owner
notes that a deck at the rear of the house was added "to make the transition from interior to exterior living
more comfortable" and that "the original proposed concrete pad is not practical due to the elevation
change from the edge of the house to the ground."
At the February 10th Planning Commission meeting, the Commission requested that the applicant and
adjacent property owner at 2517 Easton Drive work together to find a way to mitigate his concern with
loss of privacy. In his letter dated February 14, 2014, the applicant notes that the two parties were able
Design Review Amendment
2509 Easton Drive
to agree upon a mutually acceptable solution. The solution includes reducing the size of the deck by 48
SF at the right rear corner of the deck (along the shared property line) and planting a 24-inch box Marina
Strawberry Tree, (Arbutus `Marina� where the portion of the deck is being removed. Marina Strawberry
trees are considered an evergreen tree or shrub and can grow up to a height of 40 feet (Sunset Western
Garden Book, 2001 Edition). In addition, the applicant will be working with the neighbor to plant a
bamboo screen on the neighbor's property along the shared property line. Lastly, the applicant is
proposing a Laurel hedge on his side of the property in this area.
With the new deck area, the lot coverage would be increased by 576 SF from 24.6% (2182 SF) to 31.1 %
(2758 SF) where 40% (3540 SF) is the maximum allowed. The proposed lot coverage is well within the
maximum allowed. The deck also complies with setback requirements.
3) Removal of Protected Size Trees: In May 2012, a tree removal permit was issued for removal of five
protected size trees (tree numbers #1, 2, 3, 5 and 11 on the attached arborist report prepared by Kielty
Arborist Services, dated August 30, 2011). Several other non-protected size trees have also been
removed (no permit required).
During construction, three protected-size trees were removed without a tree removal permit. These
include a 20-inch diameter Hedge maple (tree #8), a 20-inch diameter Valley Oak (tree #9) and a 24-inch
Italian stone pine (tree #12). Tree #12 was located on the adjacent property to the west, which was once
part of a larger lot which was subdivided to create two lots (2509 and 2517 Easton Drive). Tree #9 is
located within the footprint of the deck; tree #8 is located near the deck; and tree #12 was located along
the right side property not near the deck.
The Parks Division is currently addressing this issue and is requiring that the owner install additional
larger trees to replace those that were removed (see attached letter from Bob Disco, City Arborist, dated
January 15, 2014). In addition to the five, 24-inch box size trees originally required for the project, the
ownerwill be required to install three, 36-inch box size Cork Oak trees within the rear yard. The new 24-
inch and 36-inch trees are shown on the revised Landscape Plan, date stamped February 18, 2014.
4) Changes to Exterior of House: The following is a list of the as-built changes to the exterior of the
house noted by staff. Please refer the applicanYs letter, dated February 14, 2014, for a detailed
explanation of the changes.
■ There is additional spacing between the window edge and head and sill wood trim for all
windows at front of house.
■ Chamfer design elements were omitted on the first floor corners at the front of the house.
■ The iron railings on the front and rear decks were installed without wooden posts.
■ The front entry door design changed from a wood door with a wrought iron railing insert to a
wood door with wood grids.
Project Description (based on original approval): The properties at 2509 and 2517 Easton Drive were once
owned and used by one family, which contained the main house and an accessory structure at 2517 Easton
Drive and a detached three-car garage w/storage room and cottage at 2509 Easton Drive (the properties at 2509
and 2517 Easton Drive consist of two legally subdivided lots). The properties were sold a few years ago and an
addifion was completed at 2517 Easton Drive in 2010, which included converting a portion of the existing house
to a one-car garage to provide parking for the house at 2517 Easton Drive.
With this application, the applicant is proposing to demolish the existing detached three-car garage and cottage
at 2509 Easton Drive to build a new, two and one-half story single family dwelling and attached garage (the lower
level meets the definition of a half-story since it is less than two-thirds of the area above it). The lot slopes
downward approximately 42'-0" (23°/o) from the front to the rear of the lot. The proposed house and attached
garage will have a total floor area of 3,922 SF (0.44 FAR) where 3,932 SF (0.44 FAR) is the maximum allowed
(including covered porch and chimney exemptions). The proposed project is 10 SF below the maximum allowed
�
Design Review Amendment 2509 Easton Drive
FAR and is within 1% of the maximum allowed FAR. A Special Permit is required for an attached garage and
declining height envelope along the right side property line (159 SF e�ends beyond the declining height
envelope).
The project includes an attached garage which provides two code-compliant covered parking spaces for the
proposed five-bedroom house. There is one uncovered parking space (9' x 20') provided in the driveway. All
other Zoning Code requirements have been met. The applicant is requesting the following applications:
■ Design Review for a new, two and one-half story single family dwelling and attached garage (CS
25.57.010);
■ Special Permit for attached garage (CS 25.28.035 (a)); and
■ Special Permit for construction exceeding the limits of the declining height envelope along the right side
property line (159 SF e�ends beyond the declining height envelope) (CS 25.28.035 (c)).

After the discussion of the Planning Commission meeting of Feb 10`�', we would like to
offer the following information. After review of the as-built condition of the house
relative to the approved design we found some ininar deviations from the plans we would
like to bring forward in addition to the discussions about the landscape changes we have
pro�osed.
1) In the meeting of Feb 10, a commissioner remarked about installation of the faux
exposed lintels and window sills. We have evaluated them and discussed the
issue with our architect and we believe that while they inay differ from some
people's expectations, they meet the intent of the design. There is no diinension
provided on the construction drawings, and since the windows are recessed, there
are more eleinents to consider but we think it is clear that there is some gap
intended between the window frame and these trim pieces. Further, these trim
pieces are embedded in the stucco and cannot be moved without comproinising
the waterproofing of the windows. It should be noted that these windows will
have iron shelves/boxes attached when the house is complete and so the sills will
not be apparent.
2) The corners of the building on the front facade were intended to have a chamfer
on them. The first floor outer corners did not get the chamfers as intended. No
one ever noticed they were missing and it was an apparently oversight by the
framer.
3) The iron railings on the front and back were installed without wooden posts.
Instead the iron is continuous. The wood posts were omitted for several reasons
— to match the other wood trim, the posts would need to be stain grade, but to
make them waterproof would have required them to be painted (to properly seal
the joints etc.) and we felt that adding another finish type/color would be too
busy. Also it was felt that it would be an odd mixture of styling's to have the
wood posts and iron rails — that iron-only better suited the house.
4) The front door was changed because the iron insert was felt to be too ornate for
the styling of the house. An FYI to request this change was prepared long ago but
apparently it did not get submitted to the Planning Division.

5) Regarding the deck and landscaping plan, we have met with the concerned
neighbor at 2517 Easton and have a mutually acceptable solution. We spent a lot
of time together on both sides of the fence and we can appreciate lus concerns.
Therefore, our mutually agreed solution is to cut back the deck by approximately
48 sq ft, add another tree to screen the deck and also add a large bamboo screen
on his property (please refer to the revised plans).
6) Regarding the removal of the protected trees, we cannot explain what happened
but in reviewing in-process photos of the project it's clear that they were remove
at the very beginning, during the initial site prep The initial arborist report had 29
listed trees,( a small forest) and in the process of creating the landscape plan it
seems some of the numberings (on paper) were mixed up. We do strongly believe
that there inust have been an error in marking the trees. Until we were notified by
the Parks Dept, we believed that only the appropriate ones were removed. In fact,
we found that one more tree needed to be removed several months after the initial
work was done and requested and received a permit for that tree remomval, which
we believe is evidence that we take tree removal seriously.
7) There was no covert effort to quietly remove protected trees and build a decic. As
we said the trees appear to have been removed at the very beginning, and yet we
only arrived at the idea of adding a deck once the house was finished almost 1
year later, since it became very apparent that the house needed a transition from
inside to outside. As two of the commissioners are aware, we spent much tiine
and effort with the commission designing the home to make certain fllat bacic yard
was not far removed and usable with a good transition between the home and the
yard. We felt that a larger deck would make the transition more palatable in this
respect and use of the outside and of the yard more conveiuent. We have received
numerous positive comments with respect to this deck and transition. We did have
a plan drawn in June of 2013 for the deck and landscape revisions that include the
items we are proposing here and we would be happy to produce that plan set.
However the construction company changed foreman in July/August of last year
and that plan apparently was lost in the transition of foreman and never subinitted.
In November of 2013, we discovered that it had not been submitted and our new
foreman started the process. They submitted plans to the Burlingame building
department in early December, received comments and then submitted the revised
plans. It was only after that second submittal that we were told an application for
FYI would be needed. Because the first round of comments were not significant,
our contractor started work on the deck, with the expectation that the plans would
be approved since they met all the criteria of lot coverage set back etc.

8) Change the hardscape in front and add an articulated garden wall. The original
plan does not suit the contours of the land adequately. The revised plan allows for
more comfortable pedestrian access to the front door, and gives the front yard a
much more gradual grade increasing the functionality and making maintenance
more practical. The hard scape runs down the northeast side of the house to
provide pedestrian access to the back yard.
9)
We want to emphasize that none of these items were done for the sake of cost cutting or
expediency. Framing errors and accidental tree removals were certainly not our
intentions, but aside from those, everything was done far the sake of a better product, and
each was done at the expense of both time and inoney. We believe the final product is
an exceptional house. We continue to receive numerous, high praise for the house, built
on a1z extraordinarily difficult lot — one of the 5 most difficult of ot�r architect's career.
We regret how these issues have come to the surface and that they may be perceived as
attempts to "get away with something" but that was not the case. We hope for your
tmderstanding on these matters and respectfully request your support on our requested
adjustments.
Sincerely
Emporio Group

FOR AS-BUILT CHANGES TO A PREVIOUSLY APPROVED NEW, TWO-STORY SINGLE
FAMILY DWELLING WITH AN ATTACHED GARAGE (EMPORIO GROUP INC., APPLICANT
AND PROPERTY OWNER; AITKEN ASSOCIATES, LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT, PROPERTY
OWNER) CONTACT: RUBEN HURIN
All Commissioners had visited the property. Commissioner Yie noted that she had spoken with
the project landscaper. Reference staff report dated February 10, 2014, with attachments.
Senior Planner Hurin presented the report, reviewed criteria and staff comments. Eighteen (18)
conditions were suggested for consideration.
Questions of staff:
None.
Vice-Chair Davis opened the public hearing.
Dimitrios Sogas represented the applicant.
Commission comments:
■ How did three protective trees get removed without the property owner knowing of it?
(Sogas — is not on the property on a regular basis. Assumes that the contractor is
following the approved plans. Noted that the arborist report number of trees doesn't align
with what was shown on the plan. Doesn't object to solving the problem.)
■ Who oversees the construction? (Sogas — had a transition in the project foreman late last
year, the tree removal could have happened at that time.)
■ Is the Italian Stone Pine on the neighbor's property? (Hurin — noted that this site and the
one to the right were once one property. When the arborist report was prepared, it was
described differently. The tree was on the adjacent property.)
■ Is there any objection from the neighbor to the left? (Sogas — so far the neighbor has
been supportive of the project.)
■ Note that many of the lintels above the windows appear to be floating above the windows.
Is this a mistake, or are they drawn incorrectly. Thought that they were to be wood
headers above the windows. (Meeker — will review this element of the design.
■ Has there been any interaction with the neighbor to the left? The deck has views into the
neighbor's yard. (Sogas — dropped off approval letters, but have not received a response
yet. )
• Would have preferred an FYI in advance of the changes being made.
■ It is the nature of the topography of the rear yard; it is like a big bowl, that the privacy of
the neighbors can be affected.
■ The deck enhances the home and makes the back yard more useable.
■ Is okay with the deck as constructed, if the neighbor is not opposed.

EXCERPT — February 10, 2014 Planning Commission Minutes
2509 Easton Drive (Agenda Item 7)
Public comments:
Mike Liu, neighbor on the right side (2517 Easton Drive) spoke.
■ Now his rear yard has no privacy due to the size of the deck. (Commissioner — no matter
what, they can see the rear yard.)
■ Perhaps add some trees to enhance the landscaping.
■ People that occupy the home can look across his fence into his yard.
■ Has installed trees on his side, but there is no more space for it on the lot.
There were no further comments and the public hearing was closed.
Additional Commission comments:
■ Asked how much was added to the deck? (Hurin — the deck extends sixteen feet from the
wall. It was previously shown as flush with the adjacent wall.)
■ Has a problem with the change. There is an additional 600 square feet of decking that
stares into the neighbor's property. The approved design would have minimized the
impact on the neighbor's privacy.
■ Feeis the neighbor would have questioned the size of the deck if it had been proposed
initially.
■ Protected trees should have been protected.
■ The owner should come up with a different design that takes the neighbor's concerns into
account.
■ The onus is on the applicant to come up with a solution to address the neighbor's
concerns. Should come back with a proposal for consideration.
• Agrees that there may be some mitigation that could occur. Perhaps the deck could be
reduced in width and additional landscaping provided.
■ Seems like the property was clear cut for development. Her eye was drawn to the right;
additional landscaping could help.
Commissioner Yie moved to continue the matter with direction to the applicant to mitigate the
impacts of the deck upon the neighbor,� other changes are acceptable.
The motion was seconded by Commissioner Bandrapalli.
Discussion of motion:
■ None.
Vice-Chair Davis called for a voice vote on the motion to continue. The motion passed 5-0-1-0
(Commissioner Sargent recused). The Commission's action is not appealable. This item
concluded at 8:48 p.m.
Commissioner Sargent returned to the dais.

Reference stafF report dated February 27, 2012, with attachments. Senior Planner Hurin presented the
report, reviewed criteria and staff comments. Eighteen (18) conditions were suggested for consideration.
Questions of staff:
■ None.
Vice-Chair Gaul opened the public hearing.
Scott Stotler, 349 First Street, Los Altos; represented the applicant.
Commission comments:
■ Feels that the areas that were of major concern in the original design have been addressed.
■ The substantive changes that have been made at the rear have helped to make the building look
less like an apartment building — the massing has been broken up.
■ Have provided an exit to grade from the bonus room and stairs to the rear yard area.
■ On rear elevation, the hipped roof element doesn't appear on the side elevation — there appears to
be a drafting error. (Stotler—this is an error.)
• Believes that the major concerns on the rear elevation have been addressed — is dramatically
improved.
■ Feels the project is approvable.
■ Understands that the site is difficult— understands the predicament. It is now approvable as revised.
• Feels there is justification for the special permit request for declining height envelope because due
to the steep downward slope of the lot, the point of departure for the declining height envelope is
significantly below the grade at the front of the site.
Public comments:
■ None.
There were no further comments and the public hearing was closed.
CommissionerAuran moved to approve the application, by resolution, with the following conditions:
1. that the project shall be built as shown on the plans submitted to the Planning Division date stamped
January 31, 2012, sheets T1, C.O, A1 through A5, L-1, L-2 and GPC;

We are in the process of constructing this ne�v, single fainily residence. We would like to
make changes to the landscape/hardscape an�d we hereby request FYI approval for the
following: '
1) Change the hardscape in front and add an articulated garden wall. The original
plan does not suit the contours of thelland adequately. The revised plan allows for
more comfortable pedestrian access to the front door, and gives the front yard a
much more gradual grade increasing �'the functionality and making maintenance
more practical. The hard scape runs down the northeast side of the house to
provide pedestrian access to the back yard.
2) Add a deck in the rear to make the transition from interior to exterior living more
comfortable. The original proposed concrete pad is not practical due to the
elevation change from the edge of th''e house to the ground.
3) During construction, apparently 3 small trees that were to be kept were
inadvertently removed. We are in re�lceipt of the request from Parks Dept to
mitigate this and we will comply.
We strongly believe these changes add to the appeal and usability of the house and
appearance of the house both stand alone an!d as part of the neighborhood

RE: ILLEGAL REMOVAL OF THREE PROTECTED SIZE TREES @ 2509 EASTON DRIVE
— BIIRLINGAME
Dear Mr. Sogas,
During a recent inspection of the property at 2509 Easton Drive, I noticed that three protected size trees were
removed in the rear of the property without a permit from the Parks Division.
On May 10, 2012 a permit was issued for the removal of five protected size trees. Trees numbered (on the
arborist report attached) #1, 2, 3 Coast live Oaks, #5 Maple and #I1 Canary Island Palm, were all approved for
removal. Tree #3 still remains.
During my inspection, trees numbered #8, 9, and #12 (Maple, Valley Oak, and Italian Stone Pine) have also
been removed. These were protected size trees and aze subject to the penalties outtined in Chapter 11.06 of the
Urban Reforestation and Tree Protection Ordinance sections 11.06.050 (a) (b2} and 11.06.100. These sections
state:
11.06.050 (a): "No protected tree shall be removed from any pazcel without a permit except as
provided in Section 11.06.040."
11.06.050 (b2): "The following conditions shall be observed during construction or
development of property: Protected trees that have been damaged or destroyed by
construction shall be replaced or the city shall be reimbursed, as provided in Section
11.06.090."
11.06.100 "In addition to any other penalties allowed by law, any person removing ar pruning
a tree in violation of this ordinance is ]iable to treble damages ....Damages for this purpose
shall be replacement value of the tree..."
In order to prevent any penalries from occumng, and in an ef�'ort to restore the Oak canopy that was removed, I
am requiring that in addition to the S— 24" box size landscape trees required for the permit issued on
May 10, 2013, 3- 36" box size Quercus suber (Cork Oak) also will be included in the rear landscape.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questians or concems at 650-558-7330 or
bdisco@burlingame. org.

Dear Mr. Stotleg,
:_F _ : ,__:i
As requested on Monday, August 28, 2011, I visited the above site to inspect and comment on
the trees. New construction is planned for this site and as required a survey of the trees on site
and a tree protection plan will be included.
Method:
All inspections were made from the ground; the trees were not climbed for this inspection: The
trees in question were located on a map provided by you. The trees were then measured for
diasneter at 54 inches above ground level (DBH or diameter at breast height). The trees were
given a condition rating for form and vitality. The trees' condition rating is based on 50 percent
vitality and 50 percent form, using the following scale.
1 - 29 Very Poor
30 - 49 Poor
50 - 69 Fair
70 - 89 Good
90 - 100 Excellent
The heights of the trees were measured using a Nikon Forestry 550 Hypsometer. The spread was
paced off. Comments and recommendations for future maintenance are provided.

Summary:
The property has not received recent maintenance. The site has a mix of native oaks and
imported trees. The native oaks are all in poor condition with decay in the trunks or stems. Oak
#1 has several decayed areas within the canopy. The installation of cables has helped preserve
the tree but does not guarantee the safety of the tree. Tree #2 has a large bend in its trunk and is
located less than 1 foot from the existing structure. Tree #6 has very poor form and is being
supported by the structure. The trees around the perimeter of the property can be retained with
little or no adverse effects to their long term health.
2509 Easton/8/30/11 (3)
Tree Protection Plan:
Tree protection zones:
♦ Should be established and maintained throughout the entire length of the project.
o Fencing for the protection zones should be 4 foot tall orange plastic type supported by
inetal stakes pounded into the ground. The support stakes should be spaced no more than
10 feet apart on center.
♦ The location for the protection fencing should be as close to the dripline as possible still
allowing room for construction to safely continue.
♦ Signs should be placed on fencing signifying "Tree Protection Zone - Keep Out".
♦ No materials or equipment should be stored or cleaned inside the tree protection zones.
♦ Areas outside the fencing but still beneath the dripline of protected trees, where foot
traffic is expected to be heavy, should be mulched with 4 to 6 inches of chipper chips.
The spreading of chips will help to relieve compaction and improve the soil structure.
Root Cutting:
♦ Any roots to be cut should be monitored and documented.
♦ Large roots or large masses of roots to be cut should be inspected by the site arborist.
♦ The site arborist may recommend fertilizing or irrigation if root cutting is significant.
♦ Cut all roots clean with a saw or loppers.
♦ Roots to be left exposed for a period of time should be covered with layers of burlap and
kept moist.
Trenching:
♦ Trenching for irrigation, electrical, drainage or any other reason should be hand dug
when beneath the driplines of protected trees. Hand digging and carefully laying pipes
below or beside protected roots will dramatically reduce root loss of desired trees thus
reducing trauma to the entire tree.
♦ Trenches should be backfilled as soon as possible with native material and compacted to
near its original level.
♦ Trenches that must be left exposed for a period of time should also be covered with layers
of burlap and kept moist. Plywood over the top of the trench will also help protect
exposed roots below.
Irrigation:
♦ Normal irrigation should be maintained throughout the entire length of the proj ect.
♦ The imported trees on this site will require irrigation during the warm season months.
♦ During the sununer months the trees on this site should receive heavy flood type
irrigation 2 times a month.
♦ Irrigation during the winter months may also be necessary, depending on the seasonal
rainfall. Flood type irrigation 1 time per month during the fall and winter months may be
advised by the site arborist.
♦ Mulching the root zone of protected trees will help the soil retain moisture, thus reducing
water consumption.
2509 Easton/8/30/11 (4)
Demolition, Parking and Staging:
♦ During the demolition process all tree protection must be in place.
♦ An inspection prior to the start of the demolition may be required.
♦ All vehicles must remain on paved surfaces if possible. If vehicles are to stray from
paved surfaces, 4 to 6 inches of chips shall be spread and plywood laid over the mulch
layer when inside root zones. This type of landscape buffer will help reduce compaction
of desired trees.
♦ Parking will not be allowed off the paved surfaces near protected trees.
♦ The removal of foundation materials (including curbs, asphalt and retaining walls), when
inside the driplines of protected trees, should be carried out with care. Hand excavation
may be required in areas of heavy rooting.
♦ Exposed or damaged roots should be repaired and covered with native soil.
♦ Tree protection fencing may need to be moved after the demolition. The site arborist
should be notified and the relocated fence should be inspected.
This information should be kept on site at all times. The information included in this report is
believed to be true and based on sound arboricultural principles and practices.
Sincerely,
Kevin R. Kielty
Certified Arborist WE#0476A

Design Review Amendment
Address: 2509 Easton Drive
item No. 7
Action Item
Meeting Date: February 10, 2014
Request: Application for Design Review Amendment for as-built changes to a previously approved new, two-
story single family dweliing with an attached garage.
Applicant and Property Owner: Emporio Group Inc.
Landscape Architect: Aitkens Associates
General Plan: Low Density Residential
APN: 027-195-060
Lot Area: 8,850 SF
Zoning: R-1
Environmental Review Status: The project is Categorically Exempt from review pursuant to the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), per Section 15303 (a), which states that construction of a limited number of
new, small facilities or structures including one single family residence or a second dwelling unit in a residential
zone is exempt from environmental review. In urbanized areas, up to three single-family residences maybe
constructed or converted under this exemption.
History: An application for Design Review and Special Permits for attached garage and declining height
envelope for construction of a new, two-story single family dwelling and attached garage at 2509 Easton Drive
was approved by the Planning Commission on February 27, 2012 (February 27, 2012 Planning Commission
Meeting Minutes attached). A building permit was issued in June, 2012 and construction is nearing completion.
On January 27, 2014, the Planning Commission reviewed an FYI memo forthe as-built changes to the originally
approved project, which included adding a patio and garden wall in the front yard and a new uncovered deck at
the rear of the house. The Commission requested that the item be placed on a regular action meeting for further
discussion, particularly regarding the size of the deck and its impact on neighboring properties and tree
replacement for trees removed without a permit (January 27, 2014, Planning Commission Meeting Minutes
attached).
Proposed Revisions: Several changes have been made at the front and rear of the site; there are no changes
proposed to the design of the house. Please refer to the summary below, the applicant's letter dated January
17, 2014, and revised plans date stamped January 17, 2014.
New PatiolGarden Wall in Front Yard: The originally approved project included landscaping in the area
adjacent to the front entry and living room. Soft landscaping in this area was replaced with a travertine patio
and low garden wall (see revised Landscape Plan, date stamped January 17, 2014). Please refer to the
owner's letter dated January 17, 2014 for additional information.
New Uncovered Deck at Rear of House: The originally approved project included an 88 SF uncovered
deck and stairway at the main level at the rear of the house. The property owner modified and increased the
amount of uncovered decking at the rear of the house. In a letter dated January 17, 2014, the owner notes
that a deck at the rear of the house was added "to make the transition from interior to exterior living more
comfortable" and that "the original proposed concrete pad is not practical due to the elevation change from
the edge of the house to the ground." With the increased deck area, the lot coverage would be increased by
624 SF from 24.6% (2182 SF) to 31.7% (2806 SF) where 40% (3540 SF) is the maximum allowed. The
proposed lot coverage is well within the maximum allowed. The deck also complies with setback
requirements.
Removal of Protected Size Trees: In May 2012, a tree removal permit was issued for removal of five
protected size trees (tree numbers #1, 2, 3, 5 and 11 on the attached arborist report prepared by Kielty
Arborist Services, dated August 30, 2011). Several other non-protected size trees have also been removed
(no permit required).
Design ReviewAmendmenf
2509 Easton Drive
During construction, three protected-size trees were removed without a tree removal permit. These include a
20-inch diameter Hedge maple (tree #8), a 20-inch diameter Valley Oak (tree #9) and a 24-inch Italian stone
pine (tree #12). Tree #12 was located on the adjacent property to the west, which was once part of a larger
lot which was subdivided to create two lots (2509 and 2517 Easton Drive). Tree #9 is located within the
footprint of the deck; tree #8 is located near the deck; and tree #12 was located along the right side property
not near the deck.
The Parks Division is currently addressing this issue and is requiring that the owner install additional larger
trees to repiace those that were removed (see attached letter from Bob Disco, City Arborist, dated January
15, 2014). In addition to the five, 24-inch box size trees originally required for the project, the owner wiil be
required to install three, 36-inch box size Cork Oak trees within the rear yard. The new 24-inch and 36-inch
trees are shown on the revised Landscape Plan, date stamped January 17, 2014.
The property owner submitted a letter accompanied by originally approved and as-built landscape plan and
building elevations, date stamped January 17, 2014, to explain the changes to the previously approved Design
Review project. Other than the proposed revisions listed above, there are no other changes proposed to the
design of the house. The applicant is requesting the following application:
■ Design Review Amendment for as-built changes to a previously approved new, two-story single family
dweliing with an attached garage.
Project Description (based on original approval): The properties at 2509 and 2517 Easton Drive were once
owned and used by one family, which contained the main house and an accessory structure at 2517 Easton
Drive and a detached three-car garage w/storage room and cottage at 2509 Easton Drive (the properties at 2509
and 2517 Easton Drive consist of two legally subdivided lots). The properties were sold a few years ago and an
addition was completed at 2517 Easton Drive in 2010, which included converting a portion of the existing house
to a one-car garage to provide parking for the house at 2517 Easton Drive.
With this application, the applicant is proposing to demolish the existing detached three-car garage and cottage
at 2509 Easton Drive to build a new, two and one-half story single family dwelling and attached garage (the lower
Aevel rneets the definition of a half-story since it is less than two-thirds of the area above it). The lot slopes
downward approximately 42'-0" (23%) from the front to the rear of the lot. The proposed house and attached
garage will have a total floor area of 3,922 SF (0.44 FAR) where 3,932 SF (0.44 FAR) is the maximum allowed
(including covered porch and chimney exemptions). The proposed project is 10 SF belowthe maximum allowed
FAR and is within 1% of the maximum allowed FAR. A Special Permit is required for an attached garage and
declining height envelope along the right side property line (159 SF extends beyond the declining height
envelope).
The project includes an attached garage which provides two code-compliant covered parking spaces for the
proposed five-bedroom house. There is one uncovered parking space (9' x 20') provided in the driveway. All
other Zoning Code requirements have been met. The applicant is requesting the following applications:
■ Design Review for a new, two and one-half story single family dwelling and attached garage (CS
25.57.010);
■ Special Permit for attached garage (CS 25.28.035 (a)); and
• Special Permit for construction exceeding the limits of the declining height envelope along the right side
property line (159 SF extends beyond the declining height envelope) (CS 25.28.035 (c)).

Council on April 20, 1998 are outlined as follows:
1. Compatibility of the architectural style with that of the existing character of the neighborhood;

MEETING AT THE REQUEST OF THE APPLICANT)
Reference staff report dated February 27, 2012, with attachments. Senior Planner Hurin presented the
report, reviewed criteria and stafF comments. Eighteen (18) conditions were suggested for consideration.
Questions of staff:
None.
Vice-Chair Gaul opened the public hearing.
Scott Stotler, 349 First Street, Los Altos; represented the applicant.
Commission comments:
■ Feels that the areas that were of major concern in the original design have been addressed.
• The substantive changes that have been made at the rear have helped to make the building look
less like an apartment building — the massing has been broken up.
■ Have provided an exit to grade from the bonus room and stairs to the rear yard area.
■ On rear elevation, the hipped roof element doesn't appear on the side elevation —there appears to
be a drafting error. (Stotler — this is an error.)
■ Believes that the major concerns on the rear elevation have been addressed — is dramatically
improved.
■ Feels the project is approvable.
■ Understands that the site is difficult— understands the predicament. It is now approvable as revised.
■ Feels there is justification for the special permit request for declining height envelope because due
to the steep downward slope of the lot, the point of departure for the declining height envelope is
significantly below the grade at the front of the site.
Public comments:
■ None.
There were no further comments and the public hearing was closed.

RE: ILLEGAL REMOVAL OF THREE PROTECTED SIZE TREES @ 2509 EASTON DRIVE
— BURLINGAME
Dear Mr. Sogas,
During a recent inspection af the property at 2509 Easton Drive, I noticed that three protected size trees were
removed in the rear of the properiy without a permit from the Parks Division.
On May 10, 2012 a permit was issued for the removal of five protected size trees. Trees numbered (on the
arborist report attached) #1, 2, 3 Coast live Oaks, #5 Maple and #I1 Canary Island PaIm, were all approved for
removal. Tree #3 stilI remains.
During my inspection, trees numbered #8, 9, and #12 (Maple, Valley Oak, and Italian Stone Pine) have also
been removed. These were grotected size trees and are subject to the penalties outtined in Chapter 11.06 of the
Urban Reforestation and Tree Protection Qrdinance sections 11.06.050 (a) (b2) and 11.46.100. These sec6ons
state:
11.06.050 (a): "No pratected tree shall be removed from any parcel without a pemut except as
provided in Section 11.06.Q40 °'
11.06.050 (b2): "The following conditions shall be obsetved during construction or
development of property: Protected trees that have been damaged or destroyed by
canstruction shall be replaced or the city shall be reimbursed, as provided in Section
11.06.090."
11.06.100 "In addition to any other genalties allowed by law, any person removing or pruning
a tree in violation of this ordinance is liable ta treble damages ....Damages for this purpose
shall be replacement value of the tree..."
In order to prevent any penairies from occumng, and in an effort to restore the Oak canopy that was removed, I
am requiring that in addition to the 5— 24" box size landscape trees rec{uired for the permit issued on
May 10, 2013, 3- 36" boa size Quercus suber (Cork Oak) also will be incIuded in the rear ]andscape.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or concems at 650-558-7330 or
bdisco@burlingame.org.

Site: 2509 Easton, Burlingame, CA
Dear Mr. Stotler,
, .�
As requested on Monday, August 28, 2011, I visited the above site to inspect and comment on
the trees. New construction is planned for this site and as required a survey of the trees on site
and a tree protection plan will be included.
Method: -
All inspeciions were made from the ground; the trees were not climbed for this inspection: The
trees in question were located on a map provided by you. The trees were then measured for
diameter at 54 inches above ground level (DBH or diameter at breast height). The trees were
given a condition rating for form and vitality. The trees' condition rating is based on 50 percent
vitality and 50 percent form, using the following scale.
1 - 29 Very Poor
30. - 49 Poor .
50 - 69 Fair
70 - 89 Good
90 - 100 Excellent
The heights of the trees were measured using a Nikon Forestry 550 Hypsometer. The spread was
paced of£ Comments and recommendations for future maintenance are provided.

Summary:
The property has not received recent maintenance. The site has a mix of native oaks and
imported trees. The native oaks are all in poor condition with decay in ihe t�luiks or stems. Oak
#1 has several decayed areas within the canopy. The installation of cables has helped preserve
the tree but does not guarantee the safety of the tree. Tree #2 has a large bend in its tnuik and is
located less than 1 foot from the existing structiure. Tree #6 has very poor form and is being
supported by the structure. The trees around the perimeter of the property can be retained with
little or no adverse effects to their long ferm health.
2509 Easton/8/30/11 (3)
Tree Protection Plan:
Tree protection zones:
♦ Should be established and maintained throughout the entire length of the project.
♦ Fencing for the protection zones should be 4 foot tall orange plastic type supported by
metal stakes pounded into the ground. The support stakes should be spaced no more than
10 feet apart on center.
♦ The location for the protection fencing should be as close to the dripline as possible still
allowing room for construction to safely continue.
♦ Signs should be placed on fencing signifying "Tree Protection Zone - Keep Out".
♦ No materials or equipment should be stored or cleaned inside the tree protection zones.
♦ Areas outside the fencing but still beneath the dripline of protected trees, where foot
traffic is expected to be heavy, should be mulched with 4 to 6 inches of chipper chips.
The spreading of chips will help to relieve compaction and improve the soil structure.
Root Cutting:
♦ Any roois to be cut should be moniiored and documented.
♦ Large roots or large masses of roots to be cut should be inspected by the site arborist.
♦ The site arborist may recomxnend fertilizing or irrigation if root cutting is significant.
♦ Cut all roots clean with a saw or loppers.
♦ Roots to be left exposed for a period of time should be covered with layers of burlap and
kept moist.
Trenching:
♦ Trenching for irrigation, electrical, drainage or any other reason should be hand dug
when beneath the driplines of protected trees. Hand digging and carefully laying pipes
below or beside protected roots will dramatically reduce root loss of desired trees thus
reducing trauma to the entire tree.
♦ Trenches should be backfilled as soon as possible with native material and compacted to
near its original level.
♦ Trenches that must be left exposed for a period of time should also be covered with layers
of burlap and kept moist. Plywood over the top of the trench will also help protect
exposed roots below.
Irrigation:
♦ Normal irrigation should be maintained throughoui the entire length of the proj ect.
♦ The imported trees on this site will require irrigation during the warm season months.
♦ During the suinmer months the trees on this site should receive heavy flood type
irrigation 2 titnes a month.
♦ Irrigation during the winter months may also be necessary, depending on the seasonal
rainfall. Flood type irrigation 1 time per month during the fall and winter months may be
advised by the site arborist.
♦ Mulching the root zone of protected trees will help the soil retain moisture, thus reducing
water consumption.
2509 Easton/8/30/11 (4)
Demolition, Parking and Staging:
0 During the demolition process all tree protection must be in place.
♦ An inspection prior to the start of the demolition may be required.
♦ All vehicles must remain on paved surfaces if possible. If vehicles are to stray from
paved surfaces, 4 to 6 inches of chips shall be spread and plywood laid over the mulch
layer when inside root zones. This type of landscape buffer will help reduce compaction
of desired trees.
♦ Parking will not be allowed off the paved surfaces near protected trees.
e The removal of foundation materials (including curbs, asphalt and retainuig walls), when
inside the driplines of protected trees, should be carried out with care. Hand excavation
may be required in areas of heavy rooting.
♦ Exposed or damaged roots should be repaired and covered with native soil.
0 Tree protection fencing may iieed to be moved after the demolition. The site arborist
should be notified and the relocated fence should be inspected.
This information should be kept on site at all times. The information included in this report is
believed to be true and based on sound arboricultural principles and practices.
Sincerely,
Kevin R. Kielty
