Staff Comments: See attached.
February 12th, 2007 Design Review Study Meeting: At the Planning Commission design review study meeting
on February 12th, 2007, the Commission commented on the architectural detailing of the proposed structure,
including the porch railing, the bay and gable at the front, the inverted finial, the pitch of the roof over the dining
room, and the trim on the right side of the house. The Commission moved to place the item on the consent
calendar when the applicant has addressed the Commission's comments and there is space on the agenda. The
applicant submitted revised plans and a response letter to the Planning Commission on February 22, 2007. The
following is a list of comments made by the Commission and responses by the applicant:
Add water table, base trim, or landscaping to break up the flow of the building into the ground and to
break up the face of the wood siding.
The architect noted that the siding of the structure has been left as originally proposed since the height
of the landscaping would cover any water table trim, and would create a busy rather than clean line

1477 Cortez Avenue
(revised elevation dated February 22, 2007, sheets 4 and L1.0, and response letter from architect dated
February 22, 2007).
2. Consider removing the railing from the front porch. Would provide openness, but also might create a
safety issue.
The architect noted that the railing on the front porch was removed to expose the front entry sash
(revised elevation dated February 22, 2007, sheet 4, and response letter from architect dated February
22, 2007).
3. Concern was expressed regarding the gable and bay at front being out of character with the simplicity of
the front, and mixed feelings were expressed about the inverted finial.
The architect noted that the box window at the living room, with its proposed trim, has remained as
originally proposed so as not to detract from the interest created in the overall scheme of the structure.
The inverted finial also remains (revised elevation dated February 22, 2007, sheet 4, and response
letter from architect dated February 22, 2007).
4. Diminutive gable at top of left elevation does not fit with the rest of the design.
The architect noted that the gable has been replaced with a hip roof which blends much better with the
design of the structure (revised elevation dated February 22, 2007, sheet 4, and response letter from
architect dated February 22, 2007).
S. Flat roof over dining room should be revised, but pitching it might bring it too close to the trim.
• The architect noted that the pitch of the roof over the dining room has been reduced to match the
radius roof pitch above the entry porch, allowing for the removal of the flat roof portion that was
originally proposed (revised elevation dated February 22, 2007, sheet 4, plot plan dated February 22,
2007, and response letter from architect dated February 22, 2007).
Design Review Criteria: The criteria for design review as established in Ordinance No. 1591 adopted by the
Council on Apri120, 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
Landscaping and its proportion to mass and bulk of structural components.
Findings: Based on the findings stated by the Planning Commission in the attached minutes of their February 12,
2007 design review study meeting, that overall the applicant has done a nice job with the mass and the style and
respects parking patterns and the architectural style of the neighborhood by providing detached parking in the rear
of the property (off Adeline), and that the design with suggested revisions is found to be compatible with the
Design Review
requirements of the City's five residential design review guidelines.
1477 Cortez Avenue

• Increasing the eave overhang could en ce the design.
• Show the gutters on the plans.

ZT Whitman briefly presented the project description. There were no questions of staff.
Chair Brownrigg opened the public comment. Jack McCarthy, designer, responded to questions from the
Commissioners: a metal rail was proposed for the front porch for simplicity and to work well with the curve
of the porch; willing to add a base trim on the right and left sides to provide a break in the wood siding; will
consider adding a pitch to the flat roof area; the applicant understands the impact their design choices will
have on the cost but feel the investment is worth it.
Other public comment: Pat Giorni, 1445 Balboa Way. Will C&G Construction be working on both 1473
Cortez and 1477 Cortez at the same time? Can they share a dumpster and debris removal? Can the
dumpster be located some place other than on Adeline Drive? The designer responded that they could locate
the dumpster on Cortez, but he could not confirm construction and demolition of the two projects would

occur at the same time and therefore could not guarantee debris removal could be coordinated. There were
no other comments from the floor. The public comment period was closed.
Commission discussion: In their discussion the Commissioner's noted the following:
• Like the round elements. Design pays attention to both frontages and has lots of inerit.
• Add water table trim to break up flow of building into ground, or a base trim on right and left sides
to break up the face of the wood siding. Landscaping would also cover it.
• Removing the railing on the porch would provide openness, but could be left on for safety purposes.
• Concerned about gable and bay at front. Out of character with simplicity of front.
• Mixed feelings about inverted finial. Some Commissioners felt it was a positive element to the
design while others felt it was not.
� Diminutive gable at top of left elevation doesn't fit.
• Flat roof in rear will look like a mistake when built, but pitching it might make the roof come too
close to the trim.
• Confirm owner has budgeted for the cost of construction. Some elements expensive, but also very
important to the design. Would not want to see this proj ect come back to the Commission with FYIs
because of cost concerns during construction.
C. Osterling made a motion to place this item on the consent calendar at a time when the requested revisions
have been made and plan checked by staff, and there is space on an agenda. This motion was seconded by
C. Auran.

RE: C& G Construction, 1477 Cortez Residence
RECEIVED
FEB 2 2 2007
CITY OF BURLINGAAAE
PLANNING DEPT.
We have revised the elevations to the residence after hearing your suggestions at the meeting of
February 12, 2007. Our comments and revisions are as follows:
1. The railing on the front porch has been removed to expose the front entry sash. The proposed
landscaping will create the separation from the street that we are striving for.
2. The pitch on the small portion of the roof over the dining room has been reduced. It now matches
the radius roof pitch above the entry porch. This allows us to remove the flat roof portion that was
originally proposed below the upper window and will look much better from Adeline.
3. We have removed the small gable end on the left side elevation and replaced it with a hip roof
which blends much better scheme of the structure.
4. The siding of the structure has been left as originally proposed rather than adding a water table.
It is felt that the break in the siding, as suggested, would coincide with the general height of the
landscaping materials along the sides of the structure and would only tend to make the structure
look busy rather than the clean line as now proposed.
5. The box window at the living room has also remained as it was originally proposed. We felt that
neutralizing the trim around the window would detract from the interest created in the overall
scheme of the structure. We are also planning on leaving the inverted finial.
We will be happy to answer any questions that you will have at the coming public hearing.
