Home My WebLink About1500 Willow Ave - Tentative Map4 AGENDA T0: FROM: Planning Commission Engineering Division Re: E: S� v f�.: Y 1? t, � OCT 2 2 1981 CI7Y OF BURLfNGAME PLANNING DEPf. October 21, 1981 Final Condominium Map for 18-Unit Condominium on Lots 1, 2 and 3, Block 5, Map No. 4 of Burlingame Park - 1500 Willow Avenue - Map 80-17 The subject condominium was first approved by the Commission and Council in September and October of 1980 and a revised Tentative Map approved in March and April of 1981. The condominium structure is essentially complete and the attached map reflects the measurements made of the construction by the Engineer. This Final Map indicates some differences from the Tentative Map. The most obvious is the front setback from Willow. These were approved at 15' but were constructed from 15.23' to 14'. The Engineer indicates this is since the Tentative Map showed a front property line radius of 177' when actual radius was 176'. This difference brought it closer to the Willow proNerty line. Other differences in the backup from parking spaces show calculated clearness of to 22.95' or less, instead of the required 24'. This will still allow access into and out of all stalls with less than the Code required number of maneuvers. Staff is not concerned over any of these discrepancies. It is staff's recommendation that this Final Condominium Map be transrrritted to Council for their approval. �l �," ��/� /. /,/,�� __ -��'�� ,� Frank C.
