Be advised where more than one (1) addition and/or alteration for which building permits are required are made within a finro (2) year period and said alterations are made to the premises of the same occupant. In such circumstances, the sum of these additions and/or alterations construction costs during this two (2) year period shall be aggregated for the purpose of calculating the replacement cost value formula. Final determination will be made and the plan review phase of the project. It is very important that you understand the threshold indicated by BMC §17.04.030. Designer, contractor, and owner should communicate specifically the extent of demolition and remodel. Keeping in mind any change orders and addendums which increase the total amount of square footage added or remodeled after plan review would be applied to the sprinkler ordinance.

While we do not think the 52 sqft addition would have substantial impact to our property, we would like the property owners of 2536 Valdivia Way to consider the followings: 1) 2) you. Should the addition require any dirt removal, it should not cause or create any soil movement to their neighbors. The trees on the upper lawn have overgrown in the last few years. During windy and stormy days, the trees create certain insecurity and discomfort to the neighbors. We are very concemed that the trees would fall from top down and damage our property, and also create certain hazards to our kids playing safely in the yard. In addition, the trees have overgrown way beyond its roof line and they have completely blocked our view to the Bay. We used to be able to see the entire San Mateo Bridge and Kohl Mansion on the east side of the property, the overgrown trees are now completely obstructing our view. While we respect the owners' privacy, we urge them to consider trimming down the trees to the roof line in order to ensure safety and rights to the view for their neighbors. Please kindly relate our comments and concems to the property owners. Thank Sincerely, - 1 Larry Ngai , Owner of 2669 Martinez Drive REC�Iv�� JAN 2 9 2001 CITY OF BURLWG,4iJIE pLANNING DEPT.
