The existing house is two stories with three bedrooms, 1? baths and attached garage (2,285 SF). The new two story addition will continue the line of the existing two story wall, which is located approximately 3�-0" from the side property line. The code allows a 4'-0" side setback for this size lot. (Note, this proposed construction was not treated as a minor modification since the 3'- 0" side setback is for a two story addition. A minor modification would be allowed for a first story addition with a 3'-0" side setback.) The new construction will enlarge the existing one car garage from 19'-8" in length to 28'-4" X 10'-0" wide. The existing and remodeled house requires one covered and one uncovered parking space. The existing house provides one covered and two uncovered spaces. The driveway is approximately 10' wide X 50' long. All other zoning code requirements have been met.

CITY OF B URLINGAME SIDE SETBACK VARIANCE Paqe Two Staff comments: The Fire Marshal and Chief Building Official had no comments (March 17, 1993 memo and March 22, 1993 memo). The City Engineer notes (March 22, 1993 memo that the site survey shows a 2.91' side setback at the southern corner of the existing house. If the new construction continues this line the house will be closer than 3'-0" to the property line. This will require a different type of construction than shown. He recommends holding the new construction at 3'-0" from the property line. A condition of approval has been added to ensure that the new construction meets the 3'-0" side setback proposed.

Commission is required to make findings (Code Section 25.54.020 a-d). Please answer the following questions as they apply to your property and application request to show how the findings can be made. A letter may also be submitted if you need additional space or if you wish to provide additional information ,.. for the Planning Commission to consider in their review of your � application. Please write neatly in ink or type. a. Describe the exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or . conditions applicable to your property which do not apply to other properties in the area. The building on this property was built approximately 50 years ago. It was built three feet from the western property line. This building now'lies one foot in the side yard setback. This condition is the reason for this variance application. b. Explain why the application request is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right and what unreasonable property loss or unnecessary hardship might result from the denial of the application. The applicant is asking for permission to extend the house at the rear west side. The addition is along the side of the building that is in the setback. If the applicant obtains the variance, the addition to this property will blend in very naturaliy to the existing structure. If this request is denied, there will be a permanent one foot of-fset in the walls and roo-F requiring an additional hip and valley in the roofline.. These eyesores wili exist for the life of the building, indicating that this addition may have been an afterthought. c. Explain why the granting of the application will not be detrimental or injurious to property or improvements in the vicinity and will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, general welfare or convenience.. This pro�ect will not be detrimental to this or adja�ent properties. The only lot affected will be that on the West - side. This lot will see the addition of the house as a natural expansion of a building that is already in the setback. This addition can be approved by the building department whether or not the one foot setback variance is approved. The neighbors will either see a nice structure that looks like it was always there or an ugly one foot offset reminding them that the house was built piecemeal. d.� Discuss how the proposed use of the property will be compatible with the aesthetics, mass, bulk and character of existing and potential uses of properties in the general vicinity . The propose'ti use has not changed. The addition will only add 90 square feet to the -Footprint of this house. I-F this variance is authorized, the aestheti�s of the nouse will be greatly improved, thereby improving the looks of the neighborhood and the town of Burlingame. �� 1��:;�� , _�:..�. . - �r .:.,. _.� ...z _s.,�. .�.1r.: ROUTING FORM DATE : - � ` I � ` �-J - TO: � CITY ENGINEER � CHIEF BIIILDING OFFICIAL FIRE M�RSHAL PARRS DIRECTOR CITY ATTORNEY FROM: CITY PLANNER/ZONING TECHNICIAN SUBJECT: REQIIEST FOR v l,D� <��%��L�- V�7`2`�C� �2 �3 ! c, " w f-�-�.�' � �� is R�v � �C � AT �� /�� .
