The architectural plans date stamped July 10, 1980 show the two garage levels, typical floor plans, elevations and cross sections. Landscaping and irrigation plans have not been prepared for Commission review, although a commitment has been made that full City standards will be met. The present project is an amendment to the 1979 condominium application for this property. The 1979 design had 4 residential floors W�24 un5ts wereapte' �osedt withharnetadensity present 3 floors and 35' mar.imum height). of 1 unit: 654 SF of lot area �Eacheoftthe basementepark8ngnlevelslvr`asas�ubstantially 1 unit: 1038 SF of lot area). larger than those of the present project, and a variance was requested to allow the lower parking area to project 12' into the 20' E1 Camino Real setback (both basement levels of ti;e present desi9h;sreablherdplan�se�bWas determ�nedlthatla� en�viwonmen,talenue). After Comnission study of impact report was required. Before the report could be staried, the project was withdra�vn and redesogned. The present plans meet all zoning ordinance requirements, and a negative declaration was posted September 2, 1980. Copies of the current application were circulated to staff for comment. The September 17 memo from the City Engineer recorrenends seven conditions to be satisfied prior to Council acceptance of the subdi�iision map. The Chief Fire Inspector advises thaianecheck reviewed roval, subject to (a) building p this project and has no objection to app ears to be generally From these corrvnents and a review of the final plans, the project app consistent with the engineering requirements of Commission Resolution No. 16-75. The single deficiency of the present design is a shortfall in the open space standards of Resolu�;ion No. 7-79: 1. All units are to have at least 75 SF of private open space; 3 of the units have balconies of only 44 SF. 2. 1,800 SF of general open space" is to be provided at grade for the common use of the residents; no area has been designated for this use. As a partial justification of the above shortfall, it should be noted thacal unitrhas of the project's balconies are substantially greater than 75 SF; the typ 115 SF of private open space, and one unit has 212 SF. The absence of "general open space" at grade may be offset by the 4,700 SF of landscaping in the setback areas adjacent to E1 Camino Real and Willow Avenue. Given the unusual shape and frontages on this property, it appears that the present design is a reasonable solution. It is suggested that the above concerns be discussed with the applicants during the September 22, 1980 public hearing, and if findings are then made that the new application is consistent with City standards for condominiums, staff recommends the following conditions for Commission review: . 1. that the final working drawings for the Arc Way Condominiums be consistent with the plans filed with this application; e r" " � -2- 2. that the conditions recommended by the September 17 memo from the City Engineer be met to the satisfaction of the Public Works Department; and 3. that the final landscaping and irrigation plans be approved by the Park Department prior to the issuance of a building permit. .

CONDOMINIUM PERMIT TO CONSTRUCT THE ARC WAY CONDOMINIUMS, AN 18 UNIT PROJECT AT 1500 WILLOGJ AVENUE, ZONED R-3, BY GEOP.GE RESCALVO FOR JEAN GOROSTIA6UE, ET AL CP Yost reviewed this application to construct an 18 unit condominium, 35' high, at the corner of ldillow Avenue and E1 Camino Real. Reference staff report dated 9/17/80; Project �lpplication & CEQA Assessment accepted by staff 7/17/80; aerial photograph of the site; and September 17, 1980 memo from the City Engineer. CP compared this amended design to a previous application for this property in 1979, discussed staff comments on the present proposal and noted a deficiency in open space provided. In view of the unusual configuration of the site, staff believed the present design a reasonable solution and, if approved, recornnended three conditions as listed in the staff report. CA Coleman confirmed that Zev Ben-Simon, who had purchased the property from the owners shown on the agenda, was entitled to speak as the property owner and applicant. Mr. Ben-Simon addressed Corrmission, detailing his consideration in purchasing this property and project. He discussed the unique site with its inherent problems of design and confirmed his staff had considered providing general open space inside the building. �This did not seem feasible as any change would require complete redesign of the structure. Chm. Sine opened the public hearing. Marilyn Moore McAlpine, 1521 Willow Avenue expressed concern that adequate off-street parking be provided, noting neighboring uses that create an on-street parking overload at present. Staff advised the parking provided meets Burlingame code and would seem to be ample for the 18 families in the building. There were no further audience comments and the public hearing was closed. During discussion it was determined that two basement levels of parking were provided with three living levels above grade, and that it was not possible to install a security gate at the entrance to both basement parking levels since there was no exterior guest parking. The problems of providing open space area at grade were na�te"d. Commission had concern about the absence of general open space for use of the 18 on-site families, but there was consensus the project was well designed for the unusual site. C. Taylor moved for approval of the condominium permit with the following conditions: (1) that the final working drawings for the Arc 41ay Condominiums be consistent with the plans filed with this application; (2) that the conditions recommended by the September 17, 1980 memo from the City Engineer be met to the satisfaction of the Public Works Department; and (3) that the final landscaping and irrigation plans be approved by the Park Department prior to the issuance of a building permit. Second C. Cistulli; motion approved on unanimous roll call vote. Appeal procedures were advised. 4.

The Board shall obtain firm bids from two (2) or more responsible contractors to rebuild the Project in accor- dance with the conditions existing immediately prior to damage and destruction (modified at the direction of the Board to comply with building codes and construction stan- dards in effect at the time of the rebuilding) and shall -22- J as soon as reasonably possible thereafter, call a special meeting of the Owners to consider stich bids. The Board may also obtain an estimate from the insur- ance carrier of the work it will"perform for the amount of the insurance coverage. To be considered, any con- tractor's bid shall include the premium payable for performance, labor and material payment bonds from a reputable bonding company. If the Board fails to do so within sixty (60) days after the casualty occurs, and Owner may obtain such contractor's bids or insur- ance estimate and call and conduct such meeting as provided herein. Failure to call such a meeting, or to repair such casualty damage within twelve (12) months from the date such damage occured, shall be deemed, for all purposes, a decision not to rebuild the damaged or destroyed improvements, At such meeting, the Ojaners may elect to reject all such bids or estimates and thus not to rebuild. A vote in excess of sixty-six and two thirds percent (66-2/30) of the total voting poiaer of the Association shall be required to reject all bids or estimates. Failure to reject all bids and estimates shall authorize the Board to accept the un- rejected bid it considers most favorable; provided, ho��ever, that if acceptance of any such bid would require the levy of a special assessment, such acceptance shall only be granted following membership approval of such special assessment as required by this Declaration. If such membership approval is not obtained, the bid shall be deemed to have been rejected. iii. If a bid or estimate is accepted, the Board shall levy a special assessment to make up any deficiency between the total_insurance proceeds or insurance worlc and the cost of such repairs or rebuilding, and such assessment and all insurance proceeds, whether or not subject to liens of mortgagees, shall be paid to the insurance trustee to be used for such rebuilding. Notwithstanding any provision in this section to the contrary, if the insurance carrier offers the full amount required to repair and re- store all of the damage, then the Board shall contract to repair and rebuild the damaged portions of all Units and the Common Area in the manner provided in subparagraph (a) for a minor casualty. Without waiting to obtain insurance settlements or bids, the Board may undertake such emergency repair work after a casualty as it may deem necessary or desirable under the circumstances. Section 8.10 Condemnation. In the event of an award for the taking ot any Unit in the Project by eminent domain, the Owner of such Unit shall be entitled to receive the al.�ard for such taking -23- . and after acceptance thereof, he and his mortgagee shall be divested of all interest in the Project if such Owner shall vacate his Unit as a result of such taking. The remaining Owners shall decide by majority vote whether to rebuild or repair the Project or take other action. The remaining portion of the Project shall be resurveyed, if necessary, and the Declaration shall be amended to reflect such taking and to readjust proportionately the percentages of the un- divided interests of the remaining Owners in the Project. In the event of a taking by eminent domain of any part of the Common Area, the Association shall participate in the negotia- tions, and shall propose the method of division of the proceeds of condemnation, where Units are not valued separately by the condemning authority or by the Court. The proceeds of any award received shall be allocated fairly and proportionately among the Owner of Units involved. The Association shall give careful consideration to the allocation of percentage interests in the Common Area in determining how to divide the proceeds of condemnation. In the event any Owner disagrees with the proposed allocation, he may have the matter submitted to arbi- tration under rules of the American Artitration Association. In the event of eminent domain proceedings against the Project or any portion thereof, institutional lenders shall be given timely written notice thereof. Section 8.11 Owners' Compliance. Each Owner, tenant or occupan o a con�ominium s�iall comply with the pro- visions of this Declaration, bylaws, decisions and resolutions of the Association or its duly authorized representaiive, as lawfully amended from time to time, and failure to comply with any such provisions, decisions or resolutions shall be grounds for an action to recover sums due for damages or for injunctive relief. Al1 agreements and determinations lawfully made by the Association in accordance with the voting percentages es- tablished in this Declaration or in the Bylaws, shall be deemed to be binding on all Owners of condominiums, their successors and assigns. Section 8.12 Notices. Any notice permitted or required by this Declaration or the �ylaws may be delivered either personally or by mail. If delivery is by mail, it shall be deemed to have been delivered forty-eight (48) hours after a copy of the same has been deposited in the United States blail, postage prepaid, addressed to each person at the current address given by such person to the Secretary of the Board or addressed to the L`nit of such person if no such address has been given to the Secretary. -24-
