Home My WebLink About2508 Valdivia Way - Staff Report, �� BURLINGAME DATE: TO: FROM: CITY OF BURLINGAME Community Development Department MEMORANDUM April 15, 2013 Planning Commission Ruben Hurin, Senior Planner Director's Report Meeting Date: April 22, 2013 SUBJECT: FYI — REVIEW OF PROPOSED CHANGES TO A PREVIOUSLY APPROVED DESIGN REVIEW PROJECT AT 2508 VALDIVIA WAY, ZONED R-1. Summary: An application for Design Review and Hillside Area Construction Permit for a major renovation and first floor addition to a single family dwelling with an attached garage at 2508 Valdivia Way, zoned R-1, was approved by the Planning Commission on October 22, 2012 (Planning Commission Minutes attached). A building permit was issued in February, 2013 and construction is underway. The applicants are requesting an FYI to change the design of the front entry door and garage doors, based on the applicant's letter dated April 12, 2013. The original approval included a single painted front entry door and panels on either side of the door (door and panels contain glazing along the top third of the units) (see originally approved Front Elevation). The design of the painted composite garage doors matched the design of the front entry door. Instead, the applicants would like to install double doors in place of the single door and sidelights at the front entry (see proposed Front Elevation). The double doors will be painted wood and will contain rounded top glazing. The glazing on the garage door would also change to a rounded top design to match the front entry doors. Please refer to the applicanYs letter which provides reasons for the proposed change. The applicants submitted a letter and originally approved and proposed building elevations, date stamped April 12, 2013, to explain the change to the previously approved design review project. The applicants also included color photographs of the proposed front entry door, date stamped April 12, 2013. Other than the change described above and detailed in the applicanYs letter, there are no other changes proposed to the design of the house. Planning staff would note that because of the minor revision to the front entry door and garage door design, 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 applicants. Ruben Hurin, Senior Planner c. Pete and Joanie Schlampp, applicants and property owners ATTACHMENTS: Explanation letter from applicants, dated April 12, 2013 Photographs of proposed door, date stamped April 12, 2013 October 22, 2012, Planning Commission Minutes Originally approved and proposed building elevations, date stamped April 12, 2013 April 12, 2013 To Whom It May Concern on the Burlingame Planning Commission: A few months back, we went through the design review process on the remodel of our home at 2508 Valdivia Way. We loved the look of our Craftsman/Cottage style home, but were also happy to incorporate the suggestions made by the design review board. One of these changes was to make the garage two doors, versus one. Now that we're under construction and making final decisions on materials, we've taken a closer look at the front door. We've found a beautiful double door that both fits the style of our home very well, and also balances the double garage doors nicely. Therefore, we ask that you allow us to complete our home using the double door you see on the submitted proposal.

Senior Planner Hurin presented the report, reviewed criteria and staff comments. Thirteen (13) conditions were suggested for consideration. Questions of staff: ■ None. Chair Gaul opened the public hearing. Natalie Hyland, San Carlos; represented the applicant. ■ Referenced response letter and reviewed project changes as outlined in the letter. ■ Hope to keep the existing garage at the existing setback. Commission comments: ■ Thinks the garage looks much better as it has been split up.. ■ Thinks the revision to the front looks much better. Can the post be moved to where the guest bedroom is situated — this would widen the entry a bit more and make the porch that much larger. (Hyland — doesn't know if the front door could be centered on the gable.) Would provide more of a usable porch. • Would a guard rail be in front of the window? (Hyland — would also have one wrapping towards the back. The owners have their hearts set on the porch design.) • Having the larger gable to the right has balanced the garage. • Could go either way with the suggestions regarding the porch design. ■ Not certain if the guard rail is necessary; could be designed to eliminate the need for the rail and could be replaced with landscaping. ■ With respect to the knee braces; the knee brace at the gable peak is supporting the barge rafter; however, on the eaves, the braces on the right are supporting the belly-band which causes the potential need for another knee-brace or other revision to show it supporting the barge-rafter. ■ Like changes to the project, particularly efforts to de-emphasize the garage. ■ Not as important to de-emphasize the garage in this neighborhood given the development pattern that exists. ■ Could bump-out the porch a bit more at the gable, but if it is bumped out a bit more there would be an opportunity for a chair to be placed in the area. Public comments: None. 1 CITY OF BURLINGAME PLANNING COMMISSION — Approved Minutes Ocfober 22, 2012 There were no further comments and the public hearing was closed.
