A copy of the Bid Proposal Form submitted to the Burlingame School District is also attached for information; the Dance Movement bid was accepted by the School District October 14, 1980 "subject to (their) securing a special use permit from the City of Burlingame". A comparison of this application with the 9/9/80 "Guidelines for Leasing Hoover School" would appear to allow a finding that the "dance and movement education prog'ram" is consistent with the guidelines agreed by adjacent residents. The November 3, 1980 memo from the City Engineer notes that "the Dance Movement will increase the peak hour traffic by an estimated 16 vehicle trips. This is not a significant increase over the estimated 120-150 vehicle trips for the other two uses previously (approved) for this site".

The previous evening peaks of approximately 30 vehicles and a Sunday morning peak of 30-50 vehicles will remain unchanged. Exhibit A of Dr. Black's letter is a plan of Hoover playground with 64 potential parking spaces. It was suggested to the Council in November that long term parking be limi.ted to the 31 spaces along the edge of the playground (spaces no. 1-8 and 42-64), and that the center of the area be kept free for recreation use. The two earlier special permits for Hoover School are likely to use 2/3 of the perimeter playground parking. Dance Movement will require 6-10 additional parking spaces and, if approved, will fill all the remaining perimeter parking. The Commission held a public hearing on this application November 10, 1980. Four persons spoke in favor of the permit, and one neighbor spoke in opposition; two letters in support were read by the Corranission Secretary. There was general concern about peak afternoon traffic congestion; the City Attorney advised that "if there were severe problems . this permit (together with the two earlier permits for Hoover School) could be reconsidered (at any time) with a noticed public hearin9". After further discussion, Commissioner Jacobs moved for approval of this special permit application with 10 conditions; however, the motion failed to pass on a 3-3 vote (Comnissioners Cistulli, Harvey and Mink dissenting; Commissioner Taylor absent). This denial was appealed by Claudia Baker in her November 12, 1980 letter to Council, and a new public hearing scheduled for December 1, 1980. Given the materials filed with this application, staff has no objection in principle to the approval of a special permit for Dance Movement. Additional traffic and parking will result, but both appear to be just under the maximum practical limits for this property; problems may occur, but solutions (in terms of rescheduling classes, carpooling or other options) may be negotiated with the lessees and School District. To allow a simultaneous review of all Hoover School tenants, it is suggested that this permit be subject to review and possible amendment or cancellation in 5 months (which will correspond with the first review of the Chinese Bible Evangel and Hoover Children's Center).

CP discussed the combined vehicle trips/parking required by the three programs at this school. Staff had no objection to approval with review in five months (corresponding with the required review of the other two programs on the site). If approved, 10 conditions were suggested in the staff report. Discussion: who will police the "no parking" and "no stopping" requirements?; concern about peak afternoon traffic congestion. Claudia Baker, the applicant was present. She discussed her program, noting it would help to keep the school occupied, rather than vacant; the cultural and physical development program she would be offering, giving school children something to interest them after school; classes would be small and it was expected many participants would be from the nearby area; would like to stay in my own community with this program". The proposed hours and participants in the various classes were discussed as well as the applicant's discussions with_the School Board. Chm. Sine opened the public hearing. The following spoke in support: .- Susan Rodgers, 2701 Easton Drive - Chris Cannon, 1304 Bernal Avenue - Jane Prewett, 2973 Arguello Drive - a participant and neighbor of the school; unique program; will walk to the classes. my children and myself have taken these classes; a service to the community and the only one of its kind in Burlingame; live in the area and will walk. have been involved with PTA and education in Burlingame; this type of activity has been diminishing in the schools and think it a service the community might well provide; exceptional classes; have participated with one of my children. - Norine Nicolson, 154 Los Robles Drive - have participated in the program; a constructive, creative program conducted with integrity for the benefit of the community. _ . P�G /�iv��o �. Z There were no further comments in favor. Valija Hutnick, 2202 Surtmit Drive spoke in opposition expressing concern about traffic congestion and the possibility of accidents. There were no further comments and the hearing was closed. Secretary Harvey read letters in support received today from: Mr. and Mrs. John S. Root, 1407 Montero Avenue and Mrs. Carol M. Wood, 615 Bayswater Avenue. There was Commission concern about pea': afternoon traffic congestion. Discussion included: unanimous approval of the use; suggestion that the three programs work closely to mitigate traffic problems; need for full review in five months; difficulty in making a judgment with little data as to the traffic impacts; widening of the school driveway; limit Hoover School applications to these three. CE Erbacher did not believe that morning traffic would be a problem; however, afternoon traffic would create congestion, and early review was suggested. CA Coleman advised that if there were severe problems before the five month review date, the applications could be reconsidered sooner with a noticed public hearing. In view of the review requirement which would allow limitation or amendment of the permits at Hoover School and the fact that the three applicants appear to be cooperating to mitigate the problems, C. Jacobs moved for approval of this special permit with the following conditions: (1) that the permit be approved to Claudia Baker, dba Dance Movement and be nontransferable; (2) that the operation of the dance program be Consistent with the materials filed with this application; (3) that no parking be allowed on the Hutnick easement on the north side of the school; (4) that all staff and student parking be on-site in parking spaces 1-8/42-64, such spaces to be marked by either pavement striping or signs, the plans for which shall be subject to the approval of the Department of Public Works; (5) that the center of the playground be kept free of vehicles; (6) that a system of markers or paving striping be prepared for peak event parking, the plans for which shall be subject to the approval of the Department of Public Works; (7) that a 20' fire lane across the playground be kept clear at all times, such fire lane to be identified on-site to the satisfaction of the Fire Department; (8) that Sumntit Drive and the approach road from Summit Drive to the playground be posted with "no parking" and "no stopping at any time" signs, and that a sign be posted on the schoolyard gate: "Fire Lane - no parking at any time" and "no stopping at any time"; (9) that the conditions of the October 29, 1980 memo from the Chief Fire Inspector be met satisfactorily; and (10) that this permit be reviewed in 5 months, and be subject to amendment at that time if problems have been observed.

The main concern of the Commisaion eeema to be centered around traffic. specifically peak hour traffic between 4:30 and 6:OOpm when Roover Childrena Center atudenta will leave and I have clasaea acheduled, The Co�isaion had no problem with the uae; and, in fact, aeveral etated that it was an excellent use of the property. I� io the only proposed uae which directly benefita ehe former atudenta of Hoover by offering classea to them. The cultural nature of the program ia especially in keeping with the desirea expresaed at the neighborhood meeting concerning use of Hoover, In conridering traffic f1oW, I would like to emphaeize that maximum enroll- menc in my claeaea is eight students or parent/child paira. The maximum number of cara with 100% enrollment would be eight. Thia number would be further reduced by carpoola. Currently, I have one clasa vith 100% enrollment or eight studenta. In thie claea three children arrive in one car, ewo in another� and the other three in single care for a total of five cara, The mothers uaually stay during the class. In obaerving other after school gymnaetica claeses at the Sports Center, eome etudenta in every clase arrive together in carpools. Some atudents will walk to classea. Several mothere testified at the Planning Commisaion hearing that they would allow their children to walk. There i• a Sam Trana bue etop within walking diatance. and the Franklin school bue etops nearby. Mothera are always glad when quality clasaea are offered for their children cloae to home. Thia reduces the number of car trips they must make, Although atreete leading to Hoover are narrow, the intereection and the driveway have good aigh[linea as wae noted by the City Engineer at the Planning Commiaeion hearing, My clientele will uae automatic caution when driving thoae •treete. Safe driving demands this. I will also emphaeize this need to my parente when they enroll. This apecial uae permit would come up for review in only five months� allowing the city a cloae watch on the traffic probleme of the area. There is a atrong commitment among the tenants invblved in the Hoover aite to see these permits continued� and we are willing to work together on any problems which arise. Due to the nature of the Hoover Childrens Center's program, peak arrival and departure times within the critical 4:30 to 6:OOpm houra will not be known until enrollment ia complete. Our programa may not cause traffic problema for each other. If there are problems, we are willing to work together on solutione and have talked with each other to this point. Posaible aolutions I would conaider to k�affic problems.include adjueting class beginning and ending ttmes, hiring a traffic director for those hours or uaing a etaff inember to direct traffic. I want to streae that we will work cloaely to avoid problems and to solve any which may arise. Considering the financial benefit to the Burlingame achools, the more total utilization of the Hoover aite, the nature of my program which will aervice the neighborhood children, the emall classes which do not significantly increase peak traffic flow, and the pledge to work with exiating tenants to aolve any problema ae they ariae, I ask that you grant this special use permit. I believe it can work to the benefit of the community as well as that of Dance Movement,: Sincerelyi ��F�2%ua:�a� Q iC�e,v Claudia A.

Car pools and neighborhood children walking to class will reduce this number further. Since claseee are diacrete one hour eegments� any traffic probleme vith other programa at Hoover could be avoided by rescheduling clasaea fifteen minutea to a half hour either way, avoiding any peak traffic timee. All attempta will be made co do thie. EvoninQ Uae of Facilities, Evening use of [he facilitie• will be minimal. Bveninge �aould be required for the following two items. 1) Rehearsals. Alchough moat rehearsals would be acheduled during the day, some evening rehearsals are anticipated. Thia would occur two to three times a year for three to six nighta before a performance. Ten to fifteen studente at a time would attend. 2) Workshops, Certain apecial clasaea directed toward ehe currently full-tlme employed individual would be acheduled in the evening. 1Chaee workahcpa would occur three to aix timea a year and involve not more than twenty studenta.

Usually no more than two ataff inembers would be on aite at any one time. Studente. Most of the atudenta of Dance Movement will be reaidenta of Burlingame. The primary objectivea of this program are to use the discipline and creativity of dance to promote children's general motor development� to enhance the parent-child relationahip' and to promote within the community dance as an art form. The children in the Hoover area will benefit from this program. Full cooperation with the city and the neighborhood in this use of Hoover School is planned, � �w�«• ��,� �� r. Director.

Re: Dance Movement - 2220 Swmnit Drive Hoover School Our Department's major concerns as expressed on the other two proposed uses are the traffic generated at peak period, the adequacy of on-site parking and the elimination of loading and unloading of students on Summit Drive, Canyon Avenue and Easton Drive. The application from the Dance Movement will increase the peak hour traffic by an estimated sixteen (16) vehicle trips. This is not a significant increase over the estimated 120 to 150 vehicle trips for the other two uses previously considered for this site. With confirmation of adequate on site parking for this additional use and the restriction that all loading and unloading of students be on site, Engineering suggests only that if the application is approved, that it be reviewed in six months or a year to see if there are any additional restrictions necessary for vehicular and pedestrian safety. ��i�� Frank C.
