Summary: An application for Design Review for a second story addition to an existing single family dwelling at 1108 Cabrillo Avenue was approved by the Planning Commission on March 14, 2011 (March 14, 2011, Planning Commission Meeting Minutes attached). A building permit was issued on July 25, 2011 and the house is currently under construction. In a letter dated January 19, 2012, the property owners are requesting an FYI to remove the gable from the roof of the proposed second story addition along the right side property line and to replace it with a continuing shed roof. The property owners submitted a letter and originally approved and revised right side and rear building elevations, date stamped January 23, 2012, to explain the proposed change to the previously approved design review project. Other than the proposed revision listed above and detailed in the applicant's letter dated January 19, 2012, there are no other changes proposed to the design of the house. Planning staff would note that because of the minor revision to the roof line, it was determined that the project could be reviewed by the Commission as an FYI item. If the Commission feels there is a need for more study, this item may be placed on an action calendar for a second review and/or public hearing with direction to the applicant.

ATTACHMENTS: Explanation letter from property owners, date stamped January 19, 2012 March 14, 2011, Planning Commission Consent Calendar Minutes Approval Letter for project, mailed to project architect on March 25, 2011 Originally Approved and Proposed Right Side and Rear Building Elevations, date stamped January 23, 2012 Thomas and Karen Feeney 1108 Cabrillo Avenue Burlingame, Ca. 94010 650-344-7098 City of Burlingame Planning Department Burlingame, Ca. 94010 1/10/2012 Dear Planning Dep�rtment, We have made changes to the original architectural plan. The original plan added a gable to match the existing gable. The plans called for a 9-foot ceiling. Adding a gable with a 9-foot ceiling to the existing structure with 8-foot ceilings produced problems. The new gable did not line up correctly. The drainage did not line up directly. On paper, the additional gable looked great but in reality it was out of place and not in line with the architectural elements desired. The changes made solved all the problems with matching a 9-foot ceiling with an 8-foot ceiling and was aesthetically appealing to us. After the corrective changes were made, the windows were changed to match the existing architecture and thus have a seamless design that matches the old house to the new house. It is now very difficult to visually discern old from new. We feel the changes are aesthetically pleasing and represent our true desire to produce a home that appears to be built during one period of time. It is important to us to keep the craftsman appeal and the changes made are congruent with those intended. We have provided the necessary documents for your review. If any questions may arise, please feel free to call us at the above number.
