Design Review and Special Permits
Item No. 7b
Consent Calendar
Address: 2601 Easton Drive Meeting Date: August 26, 2019
Request: Application for Design Review and Special Permits for declining height envelope and an attached
garage for a new, two-story single family dwelling with an attached garage.
Applicant and Architect: Gary Diebel, Diebel and Company�Architects
Property Owners: Debanjan and Liz Ray
General Plan: Low Density Residential
APN: 027-195-090
Lot Area: 7,923 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.
Project Description: The subject property is an interior lot and the applicant is proposing to demolish an
existing house with an attached garage to build a new, two-story single family dwelling with an attached garage.
The proposed house will have a total floor area of 3,566 SF (0.45 FAR) where 3,635 SF (0.46 FAR) is the
maximum allowed (including 97 SF front covered porch exemption and 100 SF lower level exemption). The
proposed project is 69 SF below the maximum allowed FAR.
The new single family dwelling will contain four bedrooms. Two parking spaces, one of which must be covered,
are required on-site. One covered parking space is provided in the attached garage (10' x 20' clear interior
dimensions); one uncovered parking space (9' x 20') is provided in the driveway. Therefore, the project is in
compliance with off-street parking requirements.
The lot slopes downward from the front property line to the rear property line by more than 25%. Therefore, the
applicant is also requesting a Special Permit for the second floorto extend beyond the declining height envelope
along both sides of the house (80 SF along the right side of the house and 271 SF along the left side of the
house). All other Zoning Code requirements have been met.
The proposed project includes removal of an existing protected size Coast live oak tree (30.2-inch diameter)
along the left side property line. The tree is located in a five foot wide landscape strip between the walls of two
existing houses. The tree trunk is touching the garage wall and the limbs are touching the roof of the house. In
an arborist report prepared by Advanced Tree Care, dated February 9, 2019 (attached), the certified arborist
notes that the tree is in fair health and condition and recommends removal. The City Arborist notes that the
applicant will need to apply for and obtain a Protected Tree Removal Permit to remove this tree if the project is
approved.
The applicant is requesting the following applications:
■ Design Review for a new single family dwelling and attached garage (C.S. 25.57.010 (a) (1));
■ Special Permit for declining height envelope along the right and left sides of the house (C.S. 25.26.035
(c)); and
■ Special Permit for an attached garage (C.S. 25.26.035 (a)).

Staff Comments: None.
Design Review Action Meeting: At the action meeting on August 12, 2019, the Planning Commission noted
that the changes made are a great improvement to the project (see attached August 12, 2019 Planning
Commission Minutes). In addition, they also noted that adding the gable roofs brings the design closer to the
traditional Spanish Revival style, the heavy timber headers and rod iron detailing provides more articulation, and
the dark stained garage and front entry doors add a nice touch. The Commission advised the applicant to ensure
2
Design Review and Special Permits 2601 Easton Drive
that the wood headers sit traditionally across the head of the windows. Lastly, the Commission commented that it
would be difficult to provide a detached garage to the steep downward slope of the lot.
Because the proposed project was not publicly noticed correctly and the staff report did n ot reflect that a Special
Permit is also required for the attached garage, action could not be taken at the August 12th meeting. Therefore,
the Commission voted to bring the project back on the Consent Calendar.
Design Review Study Meeting: At the Planning Commission design review study meeting on July 22, 2019, the
Commission had suggestions regarding this project and voted to place this item on regular action when all
information has been submitted and reviewed by the Planning Division (see attached July 22, 2019 Planning
Commission Minutes).
Listed below is a summary of the Commissions' comments from the July 22, 2019 Design Review Study
meeting:
• Massing is well articulated and broken down;
• Revisit front elevation, add layer of depth and charm and/or articulation such as gable roofs that would
bring out more of the Spanish Revival style that the design is aiming for;
• Revisit left elevation, would like to see more detailing; and
• Consider simplifying and unifying roof.
The applicant submitted a response letter dated July 30, 2019 and revised plans date stamped July 31, 2019, to
address the Planning Commission's comments. In summary, the footprint remained the same, howeverthe front
and left side elevations were revised and gable roofs and more detailing (wood shutters, wrought iron elements,
gable vents, and decorative tile) were incorporated into the design. Please refer to the applicanYs response letter
for full list of changes and responses to the Commission's comments and concerns (see attached).
Design Review Criteria: The criteria for design review as established in Ordinance No. 1591 adopted by the
Council on April 20, 1998 are outlined as follows:
1. Compatibility of the architectural style with that of the existing character of the neighborhood;
2. Respect for the parking and garage patterns in the neighborhood;
3. Architectural style and mass and bulk of structure;
4. InterFace of the proposed structure with the structures on adjacent properties; and
5. Landscaping and its proportion to mass and bulk of structural components.
Suggested Findings for Design Review: That the architectural style, mass and bulk of the proposed structure
(featuring a combination of hip and gable roofs, proportional plate heights, aluminum clad windows with wood
trim and shutters, clay tile roofing, stucco siding, and wrought iron details) is compatible with the character of the
neighborhood and that the windows and architectural elements of the proposed structure are placed so that the
structure respects the interface with the structures on adjacent properties, therefore the project may be found to
be compatible with the requirements of the City's five design review criteria.
Findings for a Special Permit: In order to grant a Special Permit, the Planning Commission must find that the
following conditions exist on the property (Code Section 25.51.020 a-d):
(a) The blend of mass, scale and dominant structural characteristics of the new construction or addition are
consistent with the existing structure's design and with the existing street and neighborhood;
Design Review and Special Permits 2601 Easton Drive
(b) The variety of roof line, facade, exterior finish materials and elevations of the proposed new structure or
addition are consistent with the existing structure, street and neighborhood;
(c) The proposed project is consistent with the residential design guidelines adopted by the city; and
(d) Removal of any trees located within the footprint of any new structure or addition is necessary and is
consistent with the city's reforestation requirements, and the mitigation for the removal that is proposed is
appropriate.
Suggested Special Permit Findings (Declining Height Envelope): That because of the downward slope of
the lot from front to the rear of the property by more than 25%, the point of departure for the declining height
envelope along both sides of the house is seven feet below the first story finished floor of the house which
causes the declining height envelope to extend into the house at a lower elevation, that the encroachment is
consistent with the design, and that the second floor wall which extends into the declining height envelope is
broken up by articulated walls at various setbacks and windows distributed along the wall, the project may be
found to be compatible with the special permit criteria.
Design Review and Special Permit Findings (Attached Garage): That the proposed attached garage is
consistent with the garage pattern in the neighborhood which has a mix of both detached and attached garages.
That the proposed design of the garage is integrated well into the proposed structure and that due to the
downward slope (more than 25%) of the lot, it would not be possible to provide a detached garage at the rear of
the lot. For these reasons, the project may be found to be compatible with the design review and special permit
criteria listed above.
Planning Commission Action: The Planning Commission should conduct a public hearing on the application,
and consider public testimony and the analysis contained within the staff report. Action should include specific
findings supporting the Planning Commission's decision, and should be affirmed by resolution of the Planning
Commission. The reasons for any action should be stated clearly for the record. At the public hearing the
following conditions should be considered:
that the project shall be built as shown on the plans submitted to the Planning Division date stamped July
31, 2019, sheets A1.1 through A3.8, and sheets L1 through L3;
2. that any changes to building materials, exterior finishes, windows, architectural features, roof height or
pitch, and amount or type of hardscape materials shall be subject to Planning Division or Planning

adding or enlarging a dormer(s), shall require an amendment to this permit;
4. that any recycling containers, debris boxes or dumpsters for the construction project shall be placed
upon the private property, if feasible, as determined by the Community Development Director;
5. that demolition or removal of the existing structures and any grading or earth moving on the site shall not
occur until a building permit has been issued and such site work shall be required to comply with all the
regulations of the Bay Area Air Quality Management District;
6. that prior to issuance of a building permit for construction of the project, the project construction plans
shall be modified to include a cover sheet listing all conditions of approval adopted by the Planning
Commission, or City Council on appeal; which shall remain a part of all sets of approved plans
throughout the construction process. Compliance with all conditions of approval is required; the
conditions of approval shall not be modified or changed without the approval of the Planning
Commission, or City Council on appeal;

> Steep slope indicates a need for declining height envelope relief.
> Look at adding more charm to the front elevation.
> Busy roofline, almost every part of the house has its own roof form. Could simplify. A/so consider
some gab/e roofs.
> Note on plan indicates wood or stucco brackets; should specify wood.
> Tree removal is supportable given it is growing into the house.
> Existing front elevation is simple but has nice details; shou/d try some of those types of elements on
the new house.
> Wou/d like some reference to neighbors, particularly those on the left to make sure they are OK and
windows are not aligned.
> Garage is set back so is not in the face of the neighbor.
> Cognizant of the deck being close to the neighbors. Assumes entertaining since it is from the
kitchen. Suggest some shrubbery to screen for the neighbors.

Re: New House at 26oi Easton Drive
Dear Commissioners,
Thank you for reviewing the proposed new house for z6oi Easton Drive. We appreciate your
comments from the study session and have incorporated your recommendations.
• We reconsidered gable roofs on the front elevation that are in our preliminary study sketches.
t.� 650.558.8885 Gables have been added above the garage and living room. The gables have day tile vents that
are similar to the existing house and neighboring properties.
e� gdiebel@diebelstudio.com . Details, articulation and character in the back elevation is developed further in the front and
sides of the house.
• Spanish character have been emphasized by rendering wood materials, adding wrought iron
and other details.
• The window in the children's bathroom on the left side of the second floor has been centered
for symmetry.
• The added gables, clay tile vents, decorative wrought iron, lintels, and other added details
further develop the Spanish character, articulation and charm. They give the house a more of a
i92os-3os feel.
• The roof forms and plan has been simplified where possible, inctuding gable roofs.
� • The notes on wood or stucco corbels have been changed to just wood.
• We verified that the windows on the left side of the house will not be directly across from the
neighbor's windows. They are actually at different heights that are staggered by a half story.
The second floor bedroom windows look toward the neighbor's roof. The garage and laundry
room windows do not align with the neighbor's windows.
• Screening is in the landscape plan for the deck and backyard. The landscape architects
indicated Rhamnus, which is a dense plant that is good for screening. They are fast growing and
are about zo' tall. We ghosted in the plantings in the Left Elevation for clarity. The neighbor's
do not have windows in the vicinity. The deck is across from the neighbor's solid stucco wall.
We look forward to discussing the project. Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Diebel and Company I Architects

Re: New House at 26oi Easton Drive
Dear Commissioners,
Thank you for reviewing the proposed new house for 26oi Easton Drive.
MAY � 9 20i9
�.'��`r' C�'� F��JRLl�!uA(�1E
94011-1044 The homeowners, Debanjan and Liz Ray, decided to settle in Burlingame in Zoiq for its great schools
and neighborhood feel. They were attracted to the neighborhood for its location near Hoover
t� 650.558.8885 Elementary and Broadway. They were drawn to the Spanish character of the house. Their son, Cavan,
was in the inaugural first grade class at Hoover and will start yth grade in September, while his
e� gdiebel@die6eLstudio.com sister, Maya, will be starting Kindergarten at Hoover in the fall. The Rays have built friendships with
many of the families along Easton and adjoining streets. They have fallen in love with the
neighborhood. However, the original house, which was built in the z9zos and i93os time period
when the neighborhood was developed, has become impractical for the family. It has an unusual
entry into the bedroom area ofthe house, resulting in limited privacy from Easton Drive into the
bedrooms. The other living spaces on lower ftoors descend the steep downhill site, making the
house feel disconnected for the family. Eclectic additions have been added in decades after it was
originally built that contrast with the Spanish architecture.
The existing structure is nonconforming to the zoning. It is approximately 90o square feet over the
allowable floor area ratio. The garage parking space is nonconforming to the required i8' depth for
existing parking. The slab is only i6' deep.
A new house is proposed on the site. The design has a consistent architectural style fitting with the
original house.
The front yard is terraced down to help the house meet the zo' maximum height for the steep
downhill site. The grading fits with the natural grade. It allows entry to the first floor that has the
Living Room, Dining Room and Kitchen with second floor bedrooms above. The ground floor has the
Family Room, an additional bathroom, and allows access to the backyard.
The proposed garage adds a parking space that meets requirements for length and width where the
existing garage failed to comply. Its width is reduced compared to the existing, which allows a wider
porch.
A Special Permit is required for the severe declining height envelope that is a result of the site's
steep downhill slope. Otherwise, the proposed house meets all other zoning codes including, floor
area ratio, lot coverage, overall height, first and second-story setbacks.
We look forward to discussing the project. Thank you for your time and consideration.

This Special Permit Application is required for encroaching on the Declining Height Envelope on both
sides of the property where one side is permitted. Neighboring houses on both the leR and right are
multistory houses.
s. Explain why the blend of mass, scale, and dominant structural characteristia of the new
construction or addition are consistent with the existing structure's design and with the existing
street and neighborhood.
The new house design is consistent with the original Spanish house and more cohesive. The FAR is
t� 650.558.8885 reduced approximately 90o square feet. It is less bulky and massive than the existing structure and
e� gdiebel@diebe�studio.com scale fitting with the surrounding neighborhood. The house meshes with the fabric of the
neighboring ones on the street and in the neighborhood.
z. Explain how the variety of roof line, facade, enterior finish materials and elevations of the
proposed new structure or addition is consistent with the existing structure, street and
neighborhood.
The house is designed to meet the original neighborhood pattern of minimal traditional houses.
Roofs, materials and other exterior elements give appropriate scale to the elevations in a unified
way. The exterior design fits with other nearby structures.
3. How will the proposed project be consistent with residential design guidelines adopted by the
city (C.S. 25•57)?
1. The architectural style is compatible with the existing house and the new design is more
compatible with the original i92o's-i93o's neighborhood character.
z. Garages toward the front are predominate for similarly steep sites that have grades too steep
for rear garages.
3. The proposal is compatible in character with the surrounding street and neighborhood. It
helps transition from houses at the i5' front setback to the average block setback.
4. The proposed house helps transition from houses at the i5' front setback to the average
block setback. Structures on adjacent properties are multistory.
5. Landscape architects have skillfully designed the site development. The design softens
surrounding structures and creates more useful and enjoyable outdoor areas.
q. Explain how the removal of any trees located within the footprint of any new structure or
addition is necessary and is tonsistent with the city's reforestation requirements. What mitigation
is proposed for the removal of any trees? Explain why this mitigation is appropriate.
No trees are needed to be removed in the footprint of the new house. A coast live oak is
recommended for removal by the arborist, Advanced Tree Care. The tree removal was coordinated
with the City Arborist Bob Disco.

Dear Debanjan,

The property at 2601 Easton Drive will be remodeled and a second story addition added
to the garage. A coats live oak is close to the proposed construction and is currently
impacting the existing foundations and garage wa11, prompting the need for this report.
I looked at the coast live oak at the side of the house and have the following observations
and summary.
Observations
The coast live oak is located between the houses at 2601 Easton Dr and 2525 Easton Dr,
Burlingame. The tree can be seen in the attached photos.
Coast live oak, Quercus agrifolia
Diameter at Standazd Height: 30.2"
Height: 40 feet
Canopy Spread: 40 feet by 50 feet
The coast live oak is in fair health and condition. The tree is located between the two
houses in a narrow strip of land along the property line. The strip of land is
approximately 5 feet wide between the walls of the 2 houses. The trunk of the tree is
touching the wa11 of the garage and is bending the wa11 inwazds. The large scaffold limbs
are touching the roof of the house and the canopy is growing almost entirely over the roof
of the house at 2601 Easton Dr. The canopy is thinning and the tree may be declining.
The roots of the tree are extending below the properiy at 2601 Easton and may also be
impacting the foundations of the property at 2525 Easton Dr.

Summary and Recommendations
The tree is in fair health and condition and provides good shade and aesthetic value to the
property, however it is currently impacting the existing house. The garage is in need of
remodeling and it would be very difficult to redesign the garage such that it would not
impact the health and stability of the tree. The coast live oak can grow into a large tree
but requires a lot more space to do so.
Recommendations
I recommend removal of this tree.
If you have any questions or I can be of further assistance, please don't hesitate to call.
Sincerely

Design Review
Address: 2601 Easton Drive
Item No. 8c
Regular Action Item
Meeting Date: August 12, 2019
Request: Application for Design Review and Special Permit for declining height envelope for a new, two-story
single family dwelling with an attached garage.
Applicant and Architect: Gary Diebel, Diebel and Company�Architects
Property Owners: Debanjan and Liz Ray
General Plan: Low Density Residential
APN: 027-195-090
Lot Area: 7,923 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.
Project Description: The subject property is an interior lot and the applicant is proposing to demolish an
existing one-story house with an attached garage to build a new, finro-story single family dwelling with an
attached garage. The proposed house will have a total floor area of 3,566 SF (0.45 FAR) where 3,635 SF (0.46
FAR) is the maximum allowed (including 97 SF front covered porch exemption and 100 SF lower level
exemption).
The new single family dwelling will contain four bedrooms. Two parking spaces, one of which must be covered,
are required on-site. One covered parking space is provided in the attached garage (10' x 20' clear interior
dimensions); one uncovered parking space (9' x 20') is provided in the driveway. Therefore, the project is in
compliance with off-street parking requirements.
The lot slopes downward from the front property line to the rear property line by more than 25%. Therefore, the
applicant is also requesting a Special Permit for the second floor to extend beyond the declining height envelope
along both sides of the house (80 SF along the right side of the house and 271 SF along the left side of the
house). All other Zoning Code requirements have been met.
The proposed project includes removal of an existing protected size Coast live oak tree (30.2-inch diameter)
along the left side property line. The tree is located in a five foot wide landscape strip between the walls of two
existing houses. The tree trunk is touching the garage wall and the limbs are touching the roof of the house. In
an arborist report prepared by Advanced Tree Care, dated February 9, 2019 (attached), the certified arborist
notes that the tree is in fair health and condition and recommends removal. The City Arborist notes that the
applicant will need to apply for and obtain a Protected Tree Removal Permit to remove this tree if the project is
approved.
The applicant is requesting the following applications:
■ Design Review for a new single family dwelling (C.S. 25.57.010 (a) (1)); and
■ Special Permit for declining height envelope along the right and left sides of the house (C.S. 25.26.035
(�)) �

• Revisit front elevation, add layer of depth and charm and/or articulation such as gable roofs that would
bring out more of the Spanish Revival style that the design is aiming for;
• Revisit left elevation, would like to see more detailing; and
• Consider simplifying and unifying roof.
The applicant submitted a response letter dated July 30, 2019 and revised plans date stamped July 31, 2019, to
address the Planning Commission's comments. In summary, the footprint remained the same, howeverthe front
and left side elevations were revised and gable roofs and more detailing (wood shutters, wrought iron elements,
gable vents, and decorative tile) were incorporated into the design. Please refer to the applicant's response letter
for full list of changes and responses to the Commission's comments and concerns (see attached).
Design Review Criteria: The criteria for design review as established in Ordinance No. 1591 adopted by the
Council on April 20, 1998 are outlined as follows:
Compatibility of the architectural style with that of the existing character of the neighborhood;
2. Respect for the parking and garage patterns in the neighborhood;
3. Architectural style and mass and bulk of structure;
4. Intertace of the proposed structure with the structures on adjacent properties; and
5. Landscaping and its proportion to mass and bulk of structural components.
Suggested Findings for Design Review: That the architectural style, mass and bulk of the proposed structure
(featuring a combination of hip and gable roofs, proportional plate heights, aluminum clad windows with wood
trim and shutters, clay tile roofing, stucco siding, and wrought iron details) is compatible with the character of the
neighborhood and that the windows and architectural elements of the proposed structure are placed so that the
structure respects the interface with the structures on adjacent properties, therefore the project may be found to
be compatible with the requirements of the City's five design review criteria.
Findings for a Special Permit: In order to grant a Special Permit, the Planning Commission must find that the
following conditions exist on the property (Code Section 25.51.020 a-d):
(a) The blend of mass, scale and dominant structural characteristics of the new construction or addition are
consistent with the existing structure's design and with the existing street and neighborhood;
(b) The variety of roof line, facade, exterior finish materials and elevations of the proposed new structure or
addition are consistent with the existing structure, street and neighborhood;
(c) The proposed project is consistent with the residential design guidelines adopted by the city; and
(d) Removal of any trees located within the footprint of any new structure or addition is necessary and is
consistent with the city's reforestation requirements, and the mitigation forthe removal that is proposed is
appropriate.
Suggested Special Permit Findings (Declining Height Envelope): That because of the downward slope of
3
Design Review and Special Permit
2601 Easton Drive
the lot from front to the rear of the property by more than 25%, the point of departure for the declining height
envelope along both sides of the house is seven feet below the first story finished floor of the house which
causes the declining height envelope to extend into the house at a lower elevation, that the encroachment is
consistent with the design, and that the second floor wall which extends into the declining height envelope is
broken up by articulated walls at various setbacks and windows distributed along the wall, the project may be
found to be compatible with the special permit criteria.
Planning Commission Action: The Planning Commission should conduct a public hearing on the application,
and consider public testimony and the analysis contained within the staff report. Action should include specific
findings supporting the Planning Commission's decision, and should be affirmed by resolution of the Planning
Commission. The reasons for any action should be stated clearly for the record. At the public hearing the

Design Review
Address: 2601 Easton Drive
Item No. 9b
Design Review Study
Meeting Date: July 22, 2019
Request: Application for Design Review and Special Permit for declining height envelope for a new, two-story
single family dwelling with an attached garage.
Applicant and Architect: Gary Diebel, Diebel and Company�Architects
Property Owners: Debanjan and Liz Ray
General Plan: Low Density Residential
APN: 027-195-090
Lot Area: 7,923 SF
Zoning: R-1
Project Description: The subject property is an interior lot and the applicant is proposing to demolish an
existing one-story house with an attached garage to build a new, two-story single family dwelling with an
attached garage. The proposed house will have a total floor area of 3,566 SF (0.45 FAR) where 3,635 SF (0.46
FAR) is the maximum allowed (including 97 SF front covered porch exemption and 100 SF lower level
exemption).
The new single family dwelling will contain four bedrooms. Two parking spaces, one of which must be covered,
are required on-site. One covered parking space is provided in the attached garage (10' x 20' clear interior
dimensions); one uncovered parking space (9' x 20') is provided in the driveway. Therefore, the project is in
compliance with off-street parking requirements.
The lot slopes downward from the front property line to the rear property line by more than 25%. Therefore, the
applicant is also requesting a Special Permit for the second floor to extend beyond the declining height envelope
along both sides of the house (80 SF along the right side of the house and 271 SF along the left side of the
house). All other Zoning Code requirements have been met.
The proposed project includes removal of an existing protected size Coast live oak tree (30.2-inch diameter)
along the left side property line. The tree is located in a five foot wide landscape strip between the walls of two
existing houses. The tree trunk is touching the garage wall and the limbs are touching the roof of the house. In
an arborist report prepared by Advanced Tree Care, dated February 9, 2019 (attached), the certified arborist
notes that the tree is in fair health and condition and recommends removal. The City Arborist notes that the
applicant will need to apply for and obtain a Protected Tree Removal Permit to remove this tree if the project is
approved.
The applicant is requesting the following applications:
■ Design Review for a new single family dwelling (C.S. 25.57.010 (a) (1)); and
■ Special Permit for declining height envelope along the right and left sides of the house (C.S. 25.26.035

Re: New House at z6oi Easton Drive
Dear Commissioners,
Thank you for reviewing the proposed new house for 26oi Easton Drive.
�, % "j � :i
,�
94011-1044 The homeowners, Debanjan and Liz Ray, decided to settle in Burlingame in zoi4 for its great schools
and neighborhood fee(. They were attracted to the neighborhood for its location near Hoover
t� 650.558.8885 Elementary and Broadway. They were drawn to the Spanish character of the house. Their son, Cavan,
was in the inaugural first grade dass at Hoover and will start 4th grade in September, while his
e� gd;ebel@diebelstudio.com sister, Maya, will be starting Kindergarten at Hoover in the fall. The Rays have built friendships with
many of the families along Easton and adjoining streets. They have fallen in love with the
neighborhood. However, the original house, which was built in the i9zos and i93os time period
when the neighborhood was developed, has become impractical for the family. It has an unusual
entry into the bedroom area of the house, resulting in limited privacy from Easton Drive into the
bedrooms. The other living spaces on lower floors descend the steep downhill site, making the
house feel disconnected For the family. Eclectic additions have been added in decades after it was
originally built that contrast with the Spanish architecture.
The existing structure is nonconforming to the zoning. It is approximately 90o square feet over the
allowable floor area ratio. The garage parking space is nonconforming to the required i8' depth for
existing parking. The slab is only i6' deep.
A new house is proposed on the site. The design has a consistent architectural style fitting with the
original house.
The front yard is terraced down to help the house meet the 20' maximum height for the steep
downhill site. The grading fits with the natural grade. It allows entry to the first floor that has the
Living Room, Dining Room and Kitchen with second Floor bedrooms above. The ground floor has the
Family Room, an additional bathroom, and allows access to the backyard.
The proposed garage adds a parking space that meets requirements for length and width where the
existing garage failed to comply. Its width is reduced compared to the existing, which allows a wider
porch.
A Speciaf Permit is required for the severe declining height envelope that is a resuft of the site's
steep downhill slope. Otherwise, the proposed house meets all other zoning codes including, floor
area ratio, lot coverage, overafl height, first and second-story setbacks.
We look forward to discussing the project. Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Diebel and Company I Architects

. - i7�:�..�'j;�l�'.i':
This Special Permit Application is required for encroaching on the Declining Height Envelope on both
sides of the property where one side is permitted. Neighboring houses on both the left and right are
multistory houses.
i. Explain why the blend of mass, scale, and dominant structural characteristics of the new
construdion or addition are consistent with the existing structure's design and with the existing
street and neighborhood.
The new house design is consistent with the original Spanish house and more cohesive. The FAR is
t.� 650.558.8885 reduced approximately 90o square feet. It is less bulky and massive than the existing structure and
e� gdiebel@diebelstudio.com scale fitting with the surrounding neighborhood. The house meshes with the fabric of the
neighboring ones on the street and in the neighborhood.
z. Explain how the variety of roof line, facade, exterior finish materials and elevations of the
proposed new structure or addition is consistent with the existing strudure, street and
neighborhood.
The house is designed to meet the original neighborhood pattern of minimal traditional houses.
Roofs, materials and other exterior elements give appropriate scate to the elevations in a unified
way. The exterior design fits with other nearby structures.
3. How will the proposed project be consistent with residential design guidelines adopted by the
city (C.S. 25•57)?
i. The architectural style is compatible with the existing house and the new design is more
compatible with the original i92o's-i93o's neighborhood character.
z. Garages toward the front are predominate for similarly steep sites that have grades too steep
for rear garages.
3. The proposal is compatible in character with the surrounding street and neighborhood. It
helps transition from houses at the i5' front setback to the average block setback.
y. The proposed house helps transition from houses at the i5' front setback to the average
block setback. Structures on adjacent properties are multistory.
5. Landscape architects have skillfully designed the site development. The design sohens
surrounding structures and creates more useful and enjoyable outdoor areas.
4. Explain how the removal of any trees located within the footprint of any new structure or
addition is necessary and is consistent with the city's reforestation requirements. What mitigation
is proposed for the removal of any trees? Explain why this mitigation is appropriate.
No trees are needed to be removed in the footprint of the new house. A coast live oak is
recommended For removal by the arborist, Advanced Tree Care. The tree removal was coordinated
with the City Arborist Bob Disco.

The property at 2601 Easton Drive will be remodeled and a second story addition added
to the garage. A coats live oak is close to the proposed construction and is currently
impacting the existing foundations and garage wall, prompting the need for this report.
I looked at the coast live oak at the side of the house and have the following observations
and summary.
Observations
The coast live oak is located between the houses at 2601 Easton Dr and 2525 Easton Dr,
Burlingame. The tree can be seen in the attached photos.
Coast live oak, Quercus agrifolia
Diameter at Standard Height: 30.2"
Height: 40 feet
Canopy Spread: 40 feet by 50 feet
The coast live oak is in fair health and condition. The tree is located between the two
houses in a narrow strip of land along the property line. The strip of land is
approximately 5 feet wide between the walls of the 2 houses. The trunk of the tree is
touching the wall of the garage and is bending the wall inwards. The large scaffold limbs
are touching the roof of the house and the canopy is growina almost entirely over the roof
of the house at 2601 Easton Dr. The canopy is thinning and the tree may be declining.
The roots of the tree are extending below the property at 2601 Easton and may also be
impacting the foundations of the property at 2525 Easton Dr.

---------------------------
6� 0 839 9.539
Summary and Recommendations
The tree is in fair health and condition and provides good shade and aesthetic value to the
property, however it is currently impacting the existing house. The gazage is in need of
remodeling and it would be very difficult to redesign the garage such that it would not
impact the health and stability of the tree. The coast live oak can grow into a large tree
but requires a lot more space to do so.
Recommendations
I recommend removal of this tree.
If you have any questions or I can be of further assistance, please don't hesitate to call.
