The property is currently owned bv my husband and I and consists of a two bedroom, one bath, 1070 square foat residence with a single car dPtached �arage on a¢050 spuare foot lot frontin� both Edgehill and California Drives. A piano teacher by profession, I currently lease 900 square feet of commercial office space for my business at 859 California Drive, approximately 1000 feet north of our propert,y. � The proposed structure for my business would contain a one story 900 gross square foot buildin� housin� 4 88 square feet of classroom space, �52 square feet of classroom . spacP, an entry/waiting area, one handicapped toilet , and storage areas. In accordance witY� Chapter 25.54, Variances, Title 25 Zoning, the following reasons are stated for seeking this variance. 1. The property was originally purchased on the assumption that it would be used for a commercial business with the addition of another structure. An undue propert,y loss would occur if this parking variance is not �ranted. Adequate space is not available for a turn-around area on the site; therfore, on-site parking would be illegal. 2. This structure is necessary for the enjoymPnt of our property and preserving the concept of a residence/ business establishment, ideally situated for this property which fronts both a residential street, Edgehill Drive, and a commercial strip, California Drive. � Pa�e 2 3. Granting of this variance would not serve as a detriment to public safety."Ninety percent of my students either walk or ride bicycles to their lessons, the remainder are dropped-off and picked-up by their parents within a few minutes with adequate street parking currently available. on California nrive. 4. The property is currently zoned C-2, commercial service area, and granting of this variance would not adversely affect the comprehensive zoning plan of the city. It should be noted that very few businesses within this area of California Drive currently provide on-site�,�arking and plentiful street pa.rking is generally available. Three on-site parking spaces are required for the proposed structure and street parking for two vehicles is available directly in front of the site. A Burlingame resident for over 25 years and well established in my profession through 10 years of teaching in"Burlingame, it is unforeseeable that this structure would be used for another business other than my piano studio in the next 15-20 years. For the above reasons, I ask that you consider granting this variance. � Very Truly Yours, Sharon Cheek . � _ � . , From: Sharon Cheek To: Planning Commission ' Re: Application for a pa.rking variance at 824 Edgehill Dr. ClTY OF BURLINGAME . Additional information in regards to use and traffic: PWVNINGDEPT. ' ��°.� �I am a piano teacher who teaches lessons in small groups as well '�� : as private lessons. Beginners come two times a week for a half- '�� `� , hour, generally between 3:15 and 4:45• More advanced students .;;�`.;;+.ti�''�`� " �' attend once a week,later in the afternoon, for a 30-45minute - theory lesson as well as a private or semi-private lesson. Currently I have 68 students between the lst-12th grade. They ''�-�: attend between 3:OOp.me-8:30p.m. It is un],ikely that this number ..� will increase significantly because: (1)T�at is the maximum I �� can handle, (2)The school day'.will,,be ;�.eng�hened in the next three ,.. years, and may extend further into the afternoon. This would cause a loss in the available teaching hours. (3)I am planning a family and may have to cut back 3uring the child-raising years. It is for that reason that there is a second studio proposed. �The teacher who will be teaching currently commute's to houses and teaches only private and semi-private lessons. She is being trained to take over my classes in the event of my pregnancy. The following chart gives you the specific number of children taugMt each day an�i hour of the week. : � � �-»te onda , ✓u 2J ..�/'�Z-u �i-��'a , �3=3D _ (o S � � 8 �� or� g �4 �- � � � : � o � g �. � �.

Many children walk directly from school or ride their bikes. The bus stop is a mere 50 ft. away. This bus stop drops off children from B.I.S. The following figures are the precise breakdown of the means of transportation used by the 68 students. These figures are based on trips to and from the studio. NON AUTO DROP OFF & PICK UP STUDENTS 15 46 PARK � 7 �JA IT —�8 PERCENTAGE 22/ 68/ 10; 100°0 (These figures do not reflect carpools. The actual traffic per week is less than this. ) The f igures for the park and wait are higher this year because I have four hi�h school students who d�ive themselves to lessons. Three of these are graduating seniors. It is unusual to h�ve that many students in that age group, as most do not continue that lenghth of time. Please also note that the maximum number of students in my classes is 8. A class of 8 does not necessari�.y have more traffic than a class of ¢, as carpools are generally formed in the classes.
