This special permit was approved by the Planning Commission "with the stipulation that the operation be reviewed in 12 months." Any site improvements or construction work will require separate application to the Building Department. WMS/s cc: Chief Building Inspector City Clerk License Collector Yours very truly, G��u �i� �c���J /� Wayne M. Swan City Planner Property Owner: University Real Estate Fund Ltd. c/o California Real Estate Management Corp. Post Office Box 9706 San Jose, CA. 95157 Assessor's Office, Redwood City (Tenant on Parcel APN 026-111-120) �4'� . Page 13 Burl'ingame Planning Commission Minutes November 28, 1977 Chm. Taylor observed the main concern is whether this is an appropriate use for this specific location. Mr. Keyston said that Mr. Quie would have automatic access to Anza Patrol and unless something were to get completely out of hand the Qurlingame Police Department would not be called. He further stated it was true this type of facility could be misused and it is up to the management to see that this is not permit�ed. Richard Lavenstein, commercial realtor in Qurlingame, addressed Commission, noting that this location offers great advantages; it is in a commercial area, it is well policed and it is within walking distance of many hotels. He felt this was the best location for the proposal and that the concerns could be alleviated to the greatest extent at this location. There being no further testimony, the public hearing was closed. C. Sine questioned the adequacy of parking. C. P. Swan stated that unless it is specifically reserved he could not say that there is adequate parking. Mr. Keyston confirmed that parking was available. C. E. Kirkup advised that the water for the initial filling of the hot tubs wfluld have to come from private sources outside the area but that maintenance could come from the establishment's water allotment. He stated that this would be treated as a swimming pool. C. Cistulli felt this was not a concern; if they could not get the water, they would not operate and if they used an excessive amount, �here would be penalty fees. He stated his main concern was keeping the City clean and agreed that the applicant would protect his investment. C. Sine moved the application be approved subject to approval by the Police Chief and with the stipulation that the special permit be issued only to Mr. Quie and not be transferable. C. Kindig seconded the motion and upon a roll call vote it carried (4-1), C. Jacobs voting negatively. It was noted that the water requirements were automatically effective and did not have to be stated in the motion. 10. SPECIAL PERP�IT TO OPERATE A COURIER SERVICE IN THE M-1 DISTRICT; PROPERTY AT 808 BURLWAY ROAD (APN 026-111-120), BY JOHN SWANSON OF LOOMIS COURIER SERVICE, INC. (APPLICANT) WITH UNIVERSITY REAL ESTATE FUND LTD. (PROPERTY OWNER) (ND-144P POSTED 11-18-�7) _ ___ Chm. Taylor read the item. Asst. C. P. Yost briefly reviewed the application, referring to a letter dated October 21, 1977 from John Swanson of Loomis Courier Service which described the proposal. (This letter is incorpora�ed in these minutes by reference.) Mr. Yost noted two points of possible concern: (1) four of the 11 offices leased by Lo.omis at 80II Burlway Road are presently vacant and additional employees would probably need additional parking, and (2) if more than four vans were based at this location there could be a problem as the parking lot is already full much of the time. Although these concerns are not presently a problem, Commission should consider a conditional approval with review in six to 12 months. The public hearing was then opened, and Mr. Swanson, responding to C. Sine's inquiry, stated the company has been leasing the facilities since 1972, that it was used as an accounting of;ice until 1Q75; and it was vacant from 1975 to early 1977. He added they have been using the facility for this particular type of operation since early 1977. He confirmed that no money would be handled. Responding to C. Kindig's questions about parking, Mr. Swanson stated that they did not plan to fill the office space and did not feel parking would be a problem. There being no public input, the public hearing was closed. ' C. Jacobs moved approval of the application with the stipulation that the operation be reviewed in 12 months. C. Cistulli seconded the motion and it �arried unanimously upon roll call vote (5-0). Burlingame Planning Commission Minutes Page 14 . ' , � November 28, 1977 11. SPECIAL PERMIT TO OPERATE A QUICK PRINT SHOP IN THE M-1 DISTRICT; PROPERTY AT 1530 GIL6RETN ROAD (APN 026-321-490), BY RICHARD HSIEH OF BURLINGAME SUPER PRINT (APPLICANT) WITH HERBERT HUMBER OF MAHLER GILBRETH PROPERTIES (PROPERTY OWNER) (ND=145P POSTED 11-18-77) Chm. Taylor read the item. Asst. C. P. Yost briefly reviewed this application, noting that a quick print shop is different from a xerox copy center. A special permit is required because it is a retail business. He noted the applicant proposes to lease about 1,400 square feet of office area and use about one-fourth as a reception area and office work space; the remainder would be used for photographic work and ��rinting, with two employees (one making de�iveries or coTMpleted work usi��g a stationwagon rather than a van). There should be adequate on-site parking for both employees and up to two customers at any one time. There being no further discussion, the public hearing was opened. There was no public comment and the hearing was closed. C. Jacobs moved approval of the above-noted item since there is adequate parking and no other problems. C. Kindig seconded the motion and it carried unanimously upon roll call vote (5-0). It was noted that the motion was made specifically to the applicant and therefore the permit is not transferable. 12. SPECIAL PERMIT TO OPERATE APl AUTO REPAIR SHOP UJITH TOUJING SERUICE IN THE M-1 DISTRICT; PROPERTY AT 1244 ROLLINS ROAD (PORTION OF APN 026-134-100) BY DONALD STEIN OF ARC AUTOf�IOTIVE SERVICE (APPLICANT) WITH KATHLEEN DORE,ET AL (PROPERTY OWNERSI (ND-146P POSTED 11-18-77) Chm. Taylor read the item and C. P. Swan briefly reviewed it and updated Commission on the situation. He stated that he drove to the site and 11 vehicles (most inoperable) were stored in the easement area. He suggested that this item be continued in the hope that completion of the improvements can be accomplished. Mr. Stein was present and answered C. A. Coleman's question about the length of the operation, how long he has been operating at this location. He stated he had been renting the property since August with another gentleman, but the partnership was not warking. He explained the circumstances of the partnership and indicated that much of the problem is with the partner a�ho owns the vehicles. They are leasing on a month-to-month basis until it is properly paved and marked. Mr: Stein said that he did not know what inspections have been made of the paving. Commission felt the proper�:y owner could be contacted to help clear up this matter since much of the problem (cars in the easement) was not the responsibility of Mr. Stein. This item was continued to the meeting of December 21, 1977. 13. RECOh1MENDED TITLE 25 CODE AMENDMENTS (COPJTINUED FROM 10-12-77 This item was removed from the agenda. V. CITY PLANNER REPORT 14.
