Water Pollution
Prevention Program Requirements for Architectural Copper
Clean VAm. Heafthq [a+nmaniy.
Protect water quality during installation, cleaning, treating, and washing!
Copper from Buildings May Harm Aquatic Life
Copper can harm aquatic life in San Francisco Bay. Water that comes
into contact with architectural copper may contribute to impacts,
especially during installation, cleaning, treating, or washing. Patination
solutions that are used to obtain the desired shade of green or brown
typically contain acids. After treatment, when the copper is rinsed to
remove these acids, the rinse water is a source of pollutants.
Municipalities prohibit discharges to the storm drain of water used in the
installation, cleaning, treating and washing of architectural copper.
Building with copper flashing,
gutter and drainpipe.
Use Best Management Practices (BMPs)
The following Best Management Practices (BMPs) must be implemented to prevent prohibited
discharges to storm drains.
During Installation
• If possible, purchase copper materials that have been pre-patinated at the factory.
• If patination is done on -site, implement one or more of the following BMPs:
o Discharge the rinse water to landscaping. Ensure that the
rinse water does not flow to the street or storm drain.
Block off storm drain inlet if needed.
o Collect rinse water in a tank and pump to the sanitary
sewer. Contact your local sanitary sewer agency before
discharging to the sanitary sewer.
o Collect the rinse water in a tank and haul off -site for
proper disposal.
• Consider coating the copper materials with an impervious
coating that prevents further corrosion and runoff. This will
also maintain the desired color for a longer time, requiring
less maintenance.
Storm drain inlet is blocked to prevent
prohibited discharge. The water must be
pumped and disposed of properly.
During Maintenance
Implement the following BMPs during routine maintenance activities, such as power washing the roof,
re-patination or re -application of impervious coating:
• Block storm drain inlets as needed to prevent runoff from entering storm drains.
• Discharge the wash water to landscaping or to the sanitary sewer (with permission from the local
sanitary sewer agency). If this is not an option, haul the wash water off -site for proper disposal.
Protect the Bay/Ocean and yourself!
If you are responsible for a discharge to the storm drain of non-
stormwater generated by installing, cleaning, treating or washing �n:�,
copper architectural features, you are in violation of the municipal ���Y `
stormwater ordinance and may be subject to a fine.

SUBJECT: AMENDMENT TO A PRIOR DESIGN REVIEW APPROVAL FOR AS -BUILT CHANGES
TO A NEW, 3 % STORY, SINGLE-FAMILY DWELLING WITH AN ATTACHED GARAGE
AT 2843 ADELINE DRIVE, LOCATED WITHIN A SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL (R-1)
ZONE.
RECOMMENDATION
The City Council should conduct a public hearing to consider the analysis contained within the staff
report and public testimony relative to the applicant's (Alex Mortazavi's) request for amendments to the
prior design review approval for as -built changes to a new, 3 Y story single-family dwelling with an
attached garage at 2843 Adeline Drive. Following conclusion of the public hearing, the City Council
should articulate findings in support of its position and affirm its action by resolution. The Council may
consider the following alternatives:
approve the request for a Design Review Amendment, subject to conditions; or
2. deny the request for Design Review Amendment.
BACKGROUND
Reason for City Council Consideration: This item appears before the City Council not as an appeal,
but because the prior action by the City Council (on appeal) included a condition of approval that was
specifically imposed by the City Council that was not a consideration in the Planning Commission's prior
action. For this reason, the City Attorney determined that though the Planning Commission could act
upon the majority of the project changes, the City Council must weigh-in on the modification to the deck
adjacent to bedrooms 2 and 3 of the project, as the design of this deck was specifically restricted by the
City Council's action (on appeal) of April 20, 2009.
Overview of Project: The applicant previously received approval to build a new, 3 Y2 story single family
dwelling with an attached two -car garage on what was previously a vacant, half acre parcel at 2843
Adeline Drive. The proposed house with attached garage has a total floor area of 6,087 SF (0.28 FAR)
where 8,000 SF (0.37 FAR) is the maximum allowed (project is 1,913 SF below the maximum allowed
FAR). Because the lot slopes upward more than 25%, the Planning Division measured the overall height
of the building from 15 feet behind the front property line of the lot at the intersection of the front and side
setback lines at each side of the lot (C.S. 25.28.060 c). A Variance from the building height limit was
CITY COUNCIL MEETING —January 7, 2013
Public Hearing — 2843 Adeline Drive
approved as part of this project as the proposed height (3 Y2 stories, 63'-5") exceeds the maximum
allowed (2'/ stories, 30') by the City's zoning ordinance.
The attached two -car garage (20' x 20', clear interior measurements) provides two covered parking
spaces for the proposed five -bedroom house. There is one uncovered parking space (9' x 20') provided
in the driveway. The following applications were approved by the City Council on April 20, 2009:
■ Design Review for a new two and a half story, single family dwelling with an attached garage (CS
25.57.010);
■ Hillside Area Construction Permit for a new single family dwelling (C.S. 25.61.020).
■ Special Permit for an attached garage (CS 25.28.035 a); and
■ Variance for building height (63'-5" proposed, where 30', is the maximum allowed) (CS 25.28.060
c).
(NOTE: The attached December 10, 2012 Planning Commission staff report regarding the current
request provides a detailed analysis of the original project, as well as the amendments proposed with this
application.)
Prior Planning Commission and City Council Actions: On March 9, 2009 the Planning Commission
approved the applicant's requests for Design Review, Hillside Area Construction Permit, Variance for
building height and a Special Permit for the new single-family dwelling at 2843 Adeline Drive. On March
18, 2009 the approval was appealed to the City Council by the owner of the neighboring property at 2839
Adeline Drive. On April 20, 2009 the City Council conducted a public hearing regarding the appeal. After
considering all public testimony regarding the matter, the Council voted to deny the appeal and affirm the
Planning Commission's approval of the project with the added condition that the "deck lying adjacent to
bedrooms 2 and 3 shall be reduced in size to one-half of the depth and one-half of the width, as shown
on the approved plans". This additional condition was imposed as a result of the neighboring property
owner's concerns regarding potential impacts upon privacy at his property located at 2839 Adeline Drive.
Shortly after the City Council's action, the applicant submitted construction plans for the project to the
Building Division that were consistent with the Council's action. A building permit was issued for the
project on January 20, 2010; the project is complete at this time.
Changes to Project Made during Construction: On November 8, 2012, the Planning Division
conducted a final inspection on the property and noted that several changes were made to the project
during construction, including that the deck adjacent to bedroom #3 was not reduced by 50% in length
and width as was conditioned by the City Council. On November 28, 2012, the applicant submitted an
application for a Design Review Amendment for all of the as -built changes made to the project during
construction (see attached December 10, 2012 Planning Commission staff report for a full description of
all changes).

CITY COUNCIL MEETING —January 7, 2013
Public Hearing — 2843 Adeline Drive
Planning Commission Action regarding Proposed Amendments: On December 10, 2012, the
Planning Commission conducted a public hearing to consider amendments to the original Design Review
approval to permit the as -built changes observed by staff at the final inspection (see December 10, 2012
Planning Commission staff report). After considering staffs analysis as well as public testimony provided
during the public hearing, the Commission formulated a recommendation to the City Council (on a vote of
6-0-0-1) to approve all as -built changes to the project.
As stated previously, since the approval of the project by the City Council included an added condition
requiring that the "deck lying adjacent to bedrooms 2 and 3 shall be reduced in size to one-half of the
depth and one-half of the width, as shown on the approved plans", the City Attorney determined that the
City Council should specifically review the modification to the deck. Given that the deck modification is
only a part of the package of amendments considered by the Planning Commission; action regarding the
Design Review Amendment was in the form of a recommendation to the City Council. It is notable that
the applicant has provided an executed agreement with the neighboring property owner at 2839 Adeline
Drive that includes terms that effectively eliminate that property owner's objections to the proposed deck
modification; the agreement has been attached to this report.
The following conditions of approval, associated with the Design Review Amendment, have been
recommended by the Planning Commission.
1. that the project shall be built as shown on the plans submitted to the Planning Division date
stamped November 28, 2012, building elevation drawings, date stamped January 27, 2009,
sheets A02 through A09, and date stamped December 2, 2008, sheets A00 through A01 c, A10
through A16 and Preliminary Grading and Drainage Plan;
2. that tree protection measures shall be implemented for the Oak tree across the street from the
property (near 2838 Adeline Drive) during project construction; to the satisfaction of the City
Arborist;
3. that the planting plan for the trees to be located along the left side of the structure shall be
presented to the Planning Commission as an FYI, prior to issuance of a Building Permit;
4. that any changes to building materials, exterior finishes, windows, architectural features, roof
height or pitch, and amount or type of hardscape materials shall be subject to Planning Division
or Planning Commission review (FYI or amendment to be determined by Planning staff);
5. that any changes to the size or envelope of the basement, first or second floors, or garage, which
would include adding or enlarging a dormer(s), shall require an amendment to this permit;
6. that if the structure is demolished or the envelope changed at a later date the Special Permit and
Variance as well as any other exceptions to the code granted here will become void;

termination and installed on the portions of the roof not visible from the street; and that these
venting details shall be included and approved in the construction plans before a Building permit
is issued;
12. that the project shall comply with the Construction and Demolition Debris Recycling Ordinance
which requires affected demolition, new construction and alteration projects to submit a Waste
Reduction plan and meet recycling requirements; any partial or full demolition of a structure,
interior or exterior, shall require a demolition permit;
13. that during demolition of the existing residence, site preparation and construction of the new

according to the approved Planning and Building plans.
Environmental Review Status: The project is Categorically Exempt from review pursuant to the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), per Section 15303 (a) of the CEQA Guidelines, which
states that construction of a limited number of new, small facilities or structures, including one single-
family residence, or a second dwelling unit in a residential zone, is exempt from environmental review. In
urbanized areas, this exemption may be applied to the construction or conversion of up to three (3)
single-family residences as part of a project.

Re: 2843 Adeline Drive
Dear Madame Mayor and Honorable City Council Members,
During construction of the above project, we encountered a great concern about decks over
living spaces. This presented a long term liability for potential leaks and repairs. I am sure that
you have witnessed or know of this kind of leak which will require jack hammering the file and
concrete bedding in order to do repair a leak with an unknown source of origin. In most cases,
you have to rip off the entire deck to figure out where the leak is in order to repair. We
conducted long hours of research to find the best solution to address this concern. We
discovered a method of construction of prefabricated tiles which sits on an adjustable pedestal.
This is a floating floor file system which allows the water to penetrate in between the tiles and
drains to the waterproofing membrane which leads to the gutters and downspouts. This system
is patented and is manufactured in the United States. This system allows us to remove as many
tiles as we desire at any time with an unskilled laborer to detect any leak and repair
immediately. The ease of long term repair and maintenance of this system made us to decide
and adopt this system for all our decks. Due to the fact that the floor is floating, the
manufacture requires the boundaries of the floor to be finished with a heavy metal anchor to
prevent the tiles from sliding off the deck. This was done with all our decks, including the deck
at issue. It is very hard to anchor/bolt this perimeter metal to the middle of the roof and
penetrating the waterproofing membrane of the roof. This will create yet another potential
long term structural and waterproofing problems. In order to properly install this system, we
were required to anchor and bolt the perimeter metal to the rim joist around the deck. By
doing so, we ended up exceeding the approved deck dimension. We were aware of the single
neighbor opposing to this deck during the Planning Commission and Council hearings. We have
offered numerous and very expensive concessions to our neighbor which we have reached an
agreement at the eve of the Planning Commission hearing. The agreement with our neighbor
has been submitted to the staff for your review. Please note that this minor adjustment is a
single neighbor issue and not a community issue. Our neighbor is now satisfied with the
concessions we have made. We respectfully request your support for this minor adjustment of
our deck.
Best Regards,
Alex Mortazavi

CITY OF BURLINGAME PLANNING COMMISSION — Unapproved Minutes December 10, 2012
Commissioner Gaul indicated that he would recuse himself from participating in the discussion regarding
Agenda Item 4 (2843 Adeline Drive) as he resides within 500-feet of the property. He left the City Council
Chambers.
4. 2843 ADELINE DRIVE, ZONED R-1—APPLICATION FOR AMENDMENT TO DESIGN REVIEW FOR AS -
BUILT CHANGES TO A PREVIOUSLY APPROVED NEW, 3 '/ STORY SINGLE FAMILY DWELLING
WITH AN ATTACHED GARAGE (ALEX MORTAZAVI, APPLICANT AND PROPERTY OWNER) STAFF
CONTACT: ERICA STROHMEIER
Reference staff report dated December 10, 2012, with attachments. Associate Planner Strohmeier
presented the report, reviewed criteria and staff comments. Eighteen (18) conditions were suggested for
consideration.
Questions of staff:
Since the deck condition was imposed directly by the City Council, does the Commission have
jurisdiction over a change to that condition? (Guinan — if a change to that condition is made, then
the matter would be referred to the City Council as a recommendation. If the Commission does not
agree to the change, then the Commission retains full approval authority.)
Vice -Chair Auran opened the public hearing.
Alex Mortazavi, Burlingame; represented the applicant.
■ Described the history of the project.
■ Reminded the Commission that most properties in the area are outside of the City's jurisdiction and
are subject to the County of San Mateo's more relaxed standards.
■ There is only a single neighbor that has been opposed to the project and raising objections.
■ The neighbor has agreed to the changes as of late today.
■ Noted all of the upgraded, high -end materials used in the construction.
■ The reduction in the size of the deck was a point of discussion because it is over a living space. In
order to prevent leakage, the deck is constructed with a patented, pre -fabricated system. If built
according to the conditions, would have resulted in an area of half deck, half tar and gravel; the deck
and drainage installation requires it to be installed at the edge of the building — any other installation
that would have complied with the condition of approval would result in a waterproofing nightmare.
■ The neighbor is interested in privacy at the edge of the property — have worked out an agreement
with the neighbors regarding additional landscaping.
■ Noted other encroachments from the neighbor's property into the development site.
■ All other changes are very minor.
Commission comments:
■ Thanked the applicant for the explanation of the reasons for the changes.
■ Noted that in a meeting with the neighbor it appears that he is satisfied with the solutions.
■ Is supportive of the application.
■ Noted that he met with the applicant at the property today; the home is beautiful.
■ The design is done very tastefully.
■ Not certain the deck is a simple privacy issue; would be looking into the same area regardless of the
size. There will be planter boxes placed in the area to preserve privacy. Glass is obscured to retain
privacy.
CITY OF BURLINGAME PLANNING COMMISSION — Unapproved Minutes December 10, 2012
■ Would have liked the changes presented to the Commission in advance of the changes being
made, but feels the changes are approvable.
■ Noted that the deck is visible, but only because the landscaping has not yet matured.
■ Is a bit difficult to react to the request for the deck change, since the Commission did not impose it.
■ Feels that the deck issue must be taken on its own merit, absent a written agreement in front of the
Commission.
■ Is concerned about the neighbors' objections, because the neighbor doesn't live within the City
boundaries.
■ Appreciative that the applicant has worked with the neighbors.
Public comments:
None.
There were no further comments and the public hearing was closed.
Commissioner Cauchi moved to approve the application, by resolution, with the following conditions:
1. that the project shall be built as shown on the plans submitted to the Planning Division date stamped
November 28, 2012, building elevation drawings, date stamped January 27, 2009, sheets A02

Design Review Amendment
Item No. A"
Regular Action
Address: 2843 Adeline Drive
Meeting Date: December 10, 2012
Request: Amendment to Design Review for as -built changes to a previously approved new 3'h story, single-
family dwelling and attached garage.
Applicant: Alex Mortizavi
Property Owner: Denham LLC
General Plan: Low Density Residential
APN: 027-093-310
Lot Area: 22,036 SF
Zoning: R-1
Environmental Review Status: The project is Categorically Exempt from review pursuant to the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), per Section 15303 (a) of the CEQA Guidelines, which states that
construction of a limited number of new, small facilities or structures, including one single-family residence, or a
second dwelling unit in a residential zone, is exempt from environmental review. In urbanized areas, this
exemption may be applied to the construction or conversion of up to three (3) single-family residences as part of
a project.
Project Background: On March 9, 2009, the Planning Commission approved an application for Design Review,
Hillside Area Construction Permit, Variance for height and Special Permit for attached garage for a new 3'/2
story single family dwelling with an attached garage on what was previously a vacant parcel at 2843 Adeline
(March 9, 2009, Planning Commission Meeting Minutes attached). This approval was appealed to the City
Council on March 18, 2009. On April 20, 2009 the City Council voted to deny the appeal and affirm the Planning
Commission's approval of the project with the added condition that the "deck lying adjacent to bedrooms 2 and 3
shall be reduced in size to one-half of the depth and one-half of the width, as shown on the approved plans".
The plans that were submitted to the Building Division for a permit reflected the added condition about the deck.
A building permit was issued on January 20, 2010, and the project is complete at this time.
Proposed Revisions: On November 8, 2012, the Planning Division conducted a final inspection of the project
and noted that there were several changes made to the project. On November 28, 2012, the applicant submitted
an application for a Design Review Amendment for the following as -built changes to the project:
■ The approved landscape plan was revised due to the placement on an easement along the left side
property line;
■ A window was added in the shower area of the bathroom off of bedroom #4 along the left side elevation;
■ A Frosted glass entry/gate was installed next to the garage along the left side building elevation;
• The bathroom window in bedroom #5 along the left side of the house was reduced in size;
■ The garage door was upgraded from metal panel to glass panel;
■ The deck adjacent to bedroom #3 was not reduced by 50% in length and width as was conditioned by
the City Council;
■ The horizontal wood siding at the rear of the house was reduced in width,
■ The horizontal wood siding was upgraded from the approved material (Hardy Plank Siding), to stained
mahogany wood siding; and
■ The slanted skylight roof off the rear of the house on the main level was replaced with a flat roof.
The applicant submitted a letter describing all of the changes made to the house and originally approved and as -
built building elevation drawings on November 28, 2012. Other than the changes listed above, there are no
changes to the design of the house. The applicant is requesting the following application:
■ Amendment to Design Review for as -built changes to a previously approved new 3 Y2 story, single-family
dwelling and attached garage.
Design Review Amendment 2843 Adeline Drive
Project Description (for originally approved project): The applicant was approved to build a new, 3 Y2 story
single family dwelling with an attached two -car garage on what was previously a vacant, half acre parcel at 2843
Adeline Drive. The proposed house with attached garage has a total floor area of 6,087 SF (0.28 FAR) where
8,000 SF (0.37 FAR) is the maximum allowed (project is 1,913 SF below the maximum allowed FAR). Because
the lot slopes upward more than 25%, the Planning Division has measured the overall height of the building from
15 feet behind the front property line of the lot at the intersection of the front and side setback lines at each side
of the lot (C.S. 25.28.060 c). A Variance for building was approved as part of this project because the proposed
height (3'/ stories, 63'-5") exceeds the maximum allowed (2 Y2 stories, 30').
The project includes an attached two -car garage (20' x 20', clear interior measurements) which provides two
covered parking spaces for the proposed five -bedroom house. There is one uncovered parking space (9' x 20')
provided in the driveway. All other Zoning Code requirements have been met. The following applications were
approved by the City Council on April 20, 2009:
■ Design Review for a new two and a half story, single family dwelling with an attached garage (CS
25.57.010);
■ Hillside Area Construction Permit for a new single family dwelling (C.S. 25.61.020).
■ Special Permit for an attached garage (CS 25.28.035 a); and
■ Variance for building height (63'-5" proposed, where 30', is the maximum allowed) (CS 25.28.060 c).

Re: 2843 Adeline Drive
Dear Erica,
In response to your November 15, 2012 e-mail regarding the list of items that require FYI
and/or Design Review Amendment, I would like to clarify the following:
1. The approved landscape along the southeast neighbor was impossible to implement due
to the fact that the sewer and storm drain easements were granted to the house at
Vista Lane. Due to this easement, the planting of any tree was impossible. The
approved landscape plan showed seven (7) 24-inch Umbellularia. In lieu of this we have
placed four (4) 48-inch large evergreen trees and twelve (12) giant bamboo trees
approximately 20 to 25 feet tall. This massive screening was done to please our
neighbor, Mr. & Mrs. Art LaBrie.
The landscape in front showed three (3) trees to be planted in anticipation that by
building a retaining wall, all the existing very tall trees will be damaged or removed. That
scenario did not happen and we were able to preserve the four (4) existing mature trees
The approved landscape plan shows five (5) trees at the southwest corner. These trees
are impossible to plant due to the retaining walls and limited space available for any
kind of vegetation. We have planted seven (7) giant bamboo trees, approximately 20 to
25 feet tall as a replacement.
In addition, we have planted fourteen (14) hedge plants for privacy from the street and
screening of the house.
2. One window was added in the shower of the second floor bathroom for light and
ventilation.
3. Fronted glass entry/gate was installed for privacy and security.
4. The bathroom window above the garage was reduced in size due to the location of the
interior wall.
S. The garage door was upgraded from metal panel to wood and glass custom door.

6. The deck adjacent to Bedroom #3 was not reduced by 50%. This was a subject of
objection by Mr. Art LaBrie, our next door neighbor. This is a single neighbor concern
and not a community issue. We have made tremendous effort to reach an agreement
with him to keep our deck. In the process, we have offered him numerous concessions
as follows:
a. A permanent recorded easement for his driveway which is encroaching in our
property
b. A permanent recorded landscape easement for his encroachments on the side of
our property
c. Provide and pay for survey and legal fees for the above
d. Plant four (4) very large trees between the two properties (on top of that, we
additionally provided twelve giant bamboo trees as a privacy hedge for him)
e. Repair and/or replace the fence between the two properties
f. Install two (2) 48-inch trees at his property near the driveway
g. Replace and pay for his pool filter
7. The horizontal wood siding at the rear of the house was upgraded to stained wood, but
was reduced in area because of the symmetry of the rear elevation.
8. The small slanted skylight roof was eliminated due to structural complexity and issues.
All of these minor changes to the building are not visible from the street and public. Members
of the Planning Commission are welcome to contact me for a site visit and/or a tour. My cell
phone number is (650) 619-4871.

Reference staff report dated March 9, 2009, with attachments. Associate Planner Strohmeier presented the
report, reviewed criteria and staff comments. Sixteen (16) conditions were suggested for consideration.
Chair Cauchi opened the public hearing.
Alex Mortazavi, 20 Vista Lane; represented the applicant:
■ Have self-imposed a setback of over 23-feet from the side property line due to trees along the fence
line; the trees will reduce the appearance of bulk and mass of the building.
■ Noted that the trees will be California Laurel along the side of the residence; will be staggered in a
manner to totally block the view of the residence at the fence line.
■ Brought a window sample for the Commission to view.
■ Submitted a manufacturer's cut -sheet for the bi-fold doors and windows.
Commission comments:
■ Noted that lines of sight were drawn from several locations; was the 131.5' elevation the elevation of
the patio on the adjacent property (Mortazavi — has no idea what the patio elevation is; believes it is
at roughly 127' or 128').
■ Might there be more information regarding views toward the project from the southern end of the
adjacent yard on the right-hand side (Mortazavi — the right side is not affected; he owns the lot
above).
■ What is the growth potential for the trees (Mortazavi — up to 20-feet tall and 25-feet wide).
■ Clarified that the thought process is to move the trees to the fence line to block the view of the
house from the adjacent property; was there any thought to keeping the trees at the building itself
(Mortazavi — having the tree next to the building doesn't help as much, but will be offsetting some of
the trees. It is his interest to retain as much landscaping as possible; but lose the use of 4,000
square feet of property by doing so. There will be portions of the property that are visible. The
eight, 24-inch trees are significant landscape features).
■ Could the residence be camouflaged more by doing more planting; is there any way to clad the
elevator with wood rather than stucco (Mortazavi — the tower is further in from the property line by
around 14').
■ What is the best view from the residence (Mortazavi — one of the best views is towards Highway 92;
though under County development standards, something could be built to block the view).
■ Consider eliminating or reducing the deck off of the bedroom; it is substantial in size (Mortazavi —
that is the only sunny deck on the house; because of the other difficulties with the site. Will not be a
heavily used area. Placing it a few feet back will not help the neighbor). The Commission tries to
limit exposure of neighbors to decks overlooking a neighboring yard; due to the size of the deck,
there is the potential for greater activity. There is another deck on a lower level.

Art and Kaelani LaBrie, 2839 Adeline Drive; Mike Ghaul, 2838 Adeline Drive; Gil McCoy, 1022 Bayswater
Avenue; Steve Ehrlich, 2833 Adeline Drive; George Chrissman, 2848 Adeline Drive; Eileen Shefsky, 24
Vista Lane; Pat Giorni, 1445 Balboa Avenue; spoke:
■ The bedroom deck is larger than either of the two bedrooms; the elevator shaft leads directly to the
deck; suggested that the owners of the home would use the deck more frequently, impacting privacy
of the adjacent property to the left.
■ Is a beautiful house, but it belongs on a 5-acre lot nearer to Los Angeles; doesn't belong in the
Burlingame Hills; the story poles confirmed the height of the proposed structure above the property
to the left.
■ Felt that the findings for the requested height Variance cannot be made; reviewed the findings.
There are other alternatives to the site and project design.
■ Will decrease the value of the property to the left by $150,000-$400,000.
■ Cited the significant difference in the size of the home versus the existing homes within the area.
■ A smaller version of the house would be a more marketable project.
■ Requested that the applicant explore other design alternatives.
■ The configuration of the property makes it difficult to develop; this is not the fault of the developer;
how can the problem be best resolved.
■ The prior design was too forced on the lot; it was suggested at that time that the design follow the
form of the lot.
■ Feels it is a good design.
■ The only problem in meeting the zoning requirements is the height; there is no good solution, but the
current proposal is the best solution.
■ Landscape screening will minimize impacts on the neighbor.
■ There is a large old Oak tree in front of Gall's property; should be protected during construction.
■ Suggested a smaller home to be more marketable and to reduce impacts.
■ The design impacts privacy of the neighbors, even three (3) properties away from the site.
■ This is more than double the maximum height allowed.
■ Looks like a high-rise building; there is a huge potential to impact the privacy of neighbors.
■ The design is out of character with the neighborhood.
■ Shefsky's property is two (2) stories; no Variances were requested.
■ The applicant is agreeable to providing screening on the right side.
■ Also open to providing a green roof system.
■ Sooner or later, something will likely be built on the property; should the neighbors decide to appeal
the Planning Commission's approval; would the City Council be bound to use the same rules applied
to properties lying within the City of Burlingame?
■ The Planning Commission is sensitive to privacy issues; some of the issues raised by the neighbors
are overblown.
Applicant rebuttal by Alex Mortazavi:
■ Is not an office building; the Variance is caused by the method of measuring height in Burlingame;
the measurement is taken from the curb line; the house follows the terrain of the lot.
■ Has owned the property for almost 10-years.
■ The solar panels on adjacent properties are irrelevant; they lie to the south of the property and will
not be impacted by the new home.
■ The access to the deck from the elevator can be eliminated, if desired.
■ The style of architecture in the neighborhood is mixed.
■ The prior proposal was presented a year ago; current project is less visible.

CITY OF BURLINGAME PLANNING COMMISSION — Approved Minutes March 9, 2009
■ Real estate agents have their own opinions regarding impacts upon property values.
■ The design of the house steps up the hill and adds to the cost of the construction due to the amount
of circulation space necessary within the residence.
■ Were surprised that the neighbor encroaches upon the property with retaining walls and gates.
■ The hardship is that the lot contains one-half acre; are preserving the trees on the property; this is
only a two-story building.
■ The block's average setback also creates a hardship.
■ Have minimized impacts upon the neighbors; every adjustment affects one of the neighbors; there
must be a compromise; the project can't be made invisible.
■ Having a $3 million home next to a property will increase the value of the adjacent properties.
■ The Commission is aware of the efforts that have been made by the applicant.
Additional Commission comments:
Concerned that bedrooms 2 and 3 are problematic elements in the design; there is a certain realty
that has to be accepted; the Commission is responsible for finding compromises. Has the applicant
looked at shifting the mass of the bedroom to the other side of the building (Mortazavi — has looked
at this alternative. Considered flipping the floor plan, but ends up impacting mature trees,
particularly due to the driveway location. Would also disturb the Shefsky property even more. Can't
cantilever the bedrooms; would need to expand the family room and add to the bulk of the property
and impact trees. Have communicated with the neighbors and made attempts to address
neighbors' interests).
Regarding the screening on the south side; how tall are the trees (Mortazavi — drawn at 14-feet, but
will grow to 25-feet). The tree will work better as a screen if it is taller (Mortazavi — staggering the
trees will also help to screen).
Continuing the mass on the south side would have a greater impact than the current design.
Noted that a cool, concrete color will help to disguise the mass.
There were no further comments and the public hearing was closed.
Further Commission comments:
The applicant has taken the direction of the Planning Commission well; is a good design.
The trees being installed on the property will provide a lot of screening.
Has demonstrated that the house will be well screened from Adeline Drive.
Commissioner Auran moved to approve the application, by resolution, with the following amended
conditions:
Reduce deck to 8-foot depth from the front facade.
Tree protection for Oak across the street.
The motion was seconded by Commissioner Vistica.
Discussion of motion:
■ Concern is more with the width of the deck as it impacts the neighbor to the left, consider reducing
the width rather than the depth.
■ Consider revising the motion to reduce width of deck by 50% instead of 8-foot depth reduction.
■ Clarified that the Commission never voted on the prior application.
■ The challenges created on the property are due to the topography.
M
CITY OF BURLINGAME PLANNING COMMISSION — Approved Minutes March 9, 2009
■ There was always an acknowledgement that there would be a Variance of some sort required for
development of the property.
■ The story poles have demonstrated the potential impacts; the home is in excess of 6,000 square
feet, the design is nearly acceptable, but not yet; the impacts of the bedrooms can be mitigated by
placing them on the first floor.
■ Commissioner Brownrigg indicated that he couldn't support the current project as designed, without
mitigating the mass more; there is no need for the deck off of the bedroom.
■ Applicant commended on the design of the building, moved in this direction at the suggestion of the
Planning Commission; has addressed the concerns of the neighbors to a large degree; though there
is still some impact on the LaBrie property.
■ Would like the deck off of the bedroom eliminated.
■ Hard to touch rooms to the ground with this type of design; the decks are an important element of
the design and the livability of the house.
■ The screening proposed by the applicant should work to address neighbor impacts; there are
actually few windows on the left wall of the residence.
■ The house is already set back quite a distance from the left property line.
■ The design in general is well worked out, has been studied by the applicant.
■ Maker of motion indicated a willingness to eliminate the deck off of the bedroom; agreed to by the
second of the motion.
■ Planting plan for trees along the left side of the property should return to the Commission as an FYI.

Pollution Prevention It's Part of the- Plan
It is your responsibility to do. the job right!
Runoff from streets and otherpaved areas is a•rnajor source of pollutionin local creeks, San Francisco Bay and the Pacific Ocean.
Construction activities can directly affect the health of our waters unless contractors and crews plan ahead to keep dirt, debris, and other
construction waste away from storm drains and creeks. Followingthese guidelines will ensure your compliance with local stormwater
ordinance requirements. Remembe , ongoing monitoring and maintenance of installed controls is crucial to proper implementation.

WHY SHOULD WE WORRY ABOUT SOIL EROSION?
Water and wind carry soil from our Bay Area land down into our
streams, lakes and the Bay. This soil carries with it pollu-
tants sucfn as oil and grease, chemicals, fertilizers, animal
wastes and bacteria, which threaten our water quality.
Such erosion also costs the home construction industry, local
government, and the homeowner untold millions of dollars
a year.
Nature slowly wears away land, but human activities such as
construction increase the rate of erosion 200, even 2, 000 times
that amount. When we remove vegetation or other objects that
hold soil in place, we expose it to the action of wind and water
and increase its chances of eroding.
The loss of soil from a construction site results in loss of topsoil,
minerals and nutrients, and it causes ugly cuts and gullies in the
landscape. Surface runoff and the materials it carries with it clog
our culverts, flood channels and streams. Sometimes it destroys
wildlife and damages recreational areas such as lakes and re-
servoirs.
As an example, road and home building in the Oakland hills
above Lake Temescal filled the lake to such an extent that it had
to be dredged in 1979 at a public cost of $750,000.
NEED MORE INFORMATION?
ABAG has produced a slide/tape show on soil erosion
called "Money Down the Drain." It is available for showing
to any interested group. Call ABAG Public Affairs at (415)
841-9730.
ABAG has also published a "Manual of Standards for Sur-
face Runoff Control Measures" which deals extensively
with designs and practices for erosion prevention, sedi-
ment control, and control of urban runoff. The manual
addresses problems and_ solutions as they apply to
California and the Bay Area. It can be purchased from
ABAG and is available on reference at many local libraries
and in city and county public works and planning depart-
ments.
USDA Soil Conservation Service personnel are willing to
provide more information on specific erosion problems.

Bay Area Governments and the East Bay Regional Park
District.

TIPS FOR THE HOMEOWNEI
"Winterize" your property by mid -September. Don't
wait until spring to put in landscaping. You need
winter protection. Final landscaping can be done
later.
Inexpensive measures installed by fall will give you
protection quickly that will last all during the wet
season.
In one afternoon you can:
• Dig trenches to drain surface runoff water away
from problem areas such as steep, bare slopes.
• Prepare bare areas on slopes for seeding by raking
the surface to loosen and roughen soil so it will
hold seeds.
s-
Seeding of bare slopes
• Hand broadcast or use a "breast seeder." A typical
yard can be done in less than an hour.
• Give seeds a boost with fertilizer.
• Mulch if you can, with grass clippings and leaves,
bark chips or straw.
• Use netting to hold soil and seeds on steep.slopes.
• Check with your local nursery for advice.
Winter alert
• Check before storms to see that drains and ditches
are not clogged by leaves and rubble.
Check after major storms to be sure drains are clear
and vegetation is holding on slopes. Repair as
necessary.
Spot seed any bare areas.
WHAT YOU CAN DO TO
CONTROL EROSION
AND PROTECT
YOUR PROPERTY
Soil erosion costs Bay Area homeowners millions of dol-
lars a year. We lose valuable topsoil. We have to pay for
damage to roads and property. And our tax money has to
be spent on cleaning. out sediment from storm drains,
channels, lakes and the Bay.
You can protect your prop-
erty and prevent future
heada ches by following
these guidelines:
BEFORE AND
DURING
CONSTRUCTION
• Plan construction activities during spring and summer,
so that erosion control measures can be in place when
the rain comes.
• Examine your site carefully before building. Be aware of
the slope, drainage patterns and soil types. Proper site
design will help you avoid expensive stabilization work.
Preserve existing vegeta-
tion as much as possible.
Limit grading and plant
removal to the areas
under current construc-
tion. (Vegetation will
naturally curb erosion,
improve the appearance
and the value of your
property, and reduce the
cost of landscaping later.)
• Use fencing to protect plants from fill material and traffic.
If you have to pave near trees, do so with permeable as-
phalt or porous paving blocks.
• Preserve the natural contours of the land and disturb the
earth as little as possible. Limit the time in which graded
areas are exposed. -
• Minimize the length and
steepness of slopes by
benching, terracing, or
constructing diversion
structures. Landscape
benched areas to stabilize
the slope and improve its
appearance.
• As soon as possible after grading a site, plant vegetation
on all areas that are not to be paved or Otherwise
covered.
• Control dust on graded areas by sprinkling with water,
restricting traffic to certain routes, and paving or gravel-
ing access roads and driveways.
TEMPORARY MEASURES TO
STABILIZE THE SOIL
Grass provides the
cheapest and most ef-
fective short-term ero-
sion control. It grows
quickly and covers the
ground completely. To
find the best seed mix-
tures and plants for
your area, check with
your local nursery, the
U.S. Department of Ag-
riculture Soil Conserva-
tion Service, or the
University of California
Cooperative Extension.
Mulches hold soil moisture and provide ground protection
from rain damage. They also provide a favorable envi-
ronment for starting and growing plants. Easy -to -obtain
mulches are grass clippings, leaves, sawdust, bark chips
and straw.
Straw mulch is nearly IGO% effective when held in place by
spraying with an organic glue or wood fiber (tackifiers), by
punching it into the soil with a shovel or roller, or by tack-
ing a netting over it.
Commercial applications of
wood fibers combined with
various seeds and fertilizers
(hydraulic mulching) are effec-
tive in stabilizing sloped areas.
Hydraulic mulching with a
tackifier should
be done in two
separate appli-
cations: the first
composed of seed fertilizer and half the mulch, the second
composed of the remaining mulch and tackifier. Commer-
cial hydraulic mulch applicators —who also provide other
erosion control services — are listed under "landscaping" in
the phone book.
Mats of excelsior, Jute netting and plastic sheets can be ef-
fective temporary covers, but they must be in contact with
the soil and fastened securely to work effectively.
Roof drainage can be collected in barrels or storage con-
tainers or routed into lawns, planter boxes and gardens.
Be sure to cover stored water so you don't collect mos-
quitos, too. Excessive runoff should be directed away from
your house. Too much water can damage trees and make
foundations unstable.
STRUCTURAL RUNOFF CONTROLS
Even with proper timing and planting, you may need to
protect disturbed areas from rainfall until the plants have
time to, establish themselves. Or you may need permanent
ways to transport water across your property so that it
doesn't cause erosion.
To keep water from carrying soil from your site and dump-
ing it into nearby lots, streets, streams and channels, you
need ways to reduce its volume and speed. Some exam-
ples of what you might use are:
perimeter dike
straw mulch
• Riprap (rock lining) —to
protect channel banks
from erosive water flow
• Sediment trap —to
stop. runoff carrying
sediment and trap the
sediment
• Storm drain otItlet
protection —to reduce
the speed of water flow-
ing from a pipe onto
open ground or into a
natural channel
• Diversion dike or perimeter dike —to divert excess
water to places where it can be disposed of properly
• Straw bale dike —to stop and detain sediment from
small unprotected areas
(a short-term measure)
• Perimeter swale—to divert
runoff from a disturbed area
or to contain runoff within
a disturbed area
r *�
• Grade stabilization structure —to carry concentrated
runoff down a slope
sediment trap
jute netting
outlet protection
diversion ditch

Regular Action
Address: 2843 Adeline Drive
Meeting Date: December 10, 2012
Request: Amendment to Design Review for as -built changes to a previously approved new 3'/ story, single-
family dwelling and attached garage.
Applicant: Alex Mortizavi
Property Owner: Denham LLC
General Plan: Low Density Residential
APN: 027-093-310
Lot Area: 22,036 SF
Zoning: R-1
Environmental Review Status: The project is Categorically Exempt from review pursuant to the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), per Section 15303 (a) of the CEQA Guidelines, which states that
construction of a limited number of new, small facilities or structures, including one single-family residence, or a
second dwelling unit in a residential zone, is exempt from environmental review. In urbanized areas, this
exemption may be applied to the construction or conversion of up to three (3) single-family residences as part of
a project.
Project Background: On March 9, 2009, the Planning Commission approved an application for Design Review,
Hillside Area Construction Permit, Variance for height and Special Permit for attached garage for a new 3'/
story single family dwelling with an attached garage on what was previously a vacant parcel at 2843 Adeline
(March 9, 2009, Planning Commission Meeting Minutes attached). This approval was appealed to the City
Council on March 18, 2009. On April 20, 2009 the City Council voted to deny the appeal and affirm the Planning
Commission's approval of the project with the added condition that the "deck lying adjacent to bedrooms 2 and 3
shall be reduced in size to one-half of the depth and one-half of the width, as shown on the approved plans".
The plans that were submitted to the Building Division for a permit reflected the added condition about the deck.
A building permit was issued on January 20, 2010, and the project is complete at this time.
Proposed Revisions: On November 8, 2012, the Planning Division conducted a final inspection of the project
and noted that there were several changes made to the project. On November 28, 2012, the applicant submitted
an application for a Design Review Amendment for the following as -built changes to the project:
■ The approved landscape plan was revised due to the placement on an easement along the left side
property line;
■ A window was added in the shower area of the bathroom off of bedroom #4 along the left side elevation;
■ A Frosted glass entry/gate was installed next to the garage along the left side building elevation;
■ The bathroom window in bedroom #5 along the left side of the house was reduced in size;
■ The garage door was upgraded from metal panel to glass panel;
■ The deck adjacent to bedroom #3 was not reduced by 50% in length and width as was conditioned by
the City Council;
■ The horizontal wood siding at the rear of the house was reduced in width,
■ The horizontal wood siding was upgraded from the approved material (Hardy Plank Siding), to stained
mahogany wood siding; and
■ The slanted skylight roof off the rear of the house on the main level was replaced with a flat roof.
The applicant submitted a letter describing all of the changes made to the house and originally approved and as -
built building elevation drawings on November 28, 2012. Other than the changes listed above, there are no
changes to the design of the house. The applicant is requesting the following application:
■ Amendment to Design Review for as -built changes to a previously approved new 3'/z story, single-family
dwelling and attached garage.
Design Review Amendment 2843 Adeline Drive
Project Description (for originally approved project): The applicant was approved to build a new, 3 Y2 story
single family dwelling with an attached two -car garage on what was previously a vacant, half acre parcel at 2843
Adeline Drive. The proposed house with attached garage has a total floor area of 6,087 SF (0.28 FAR) where
8,000 SF (0.37 FAR) is the maximum allowed (project is 1,913 SF below the maximum allowed FAR). Because
the lot slopes upward more than 25%, the Planning Division has measured the overall height of the building from
15 feet behind the front property line of the lot at the intersection of the front and side setback lines at each side
of the lot (C.S. 25.28.060 c). A Variance for building was approved as part of this project because the proposed
height (3'/z stories, 63'-5") exceeds the maximum allowed (2'/2 stories, 30').
The project includes an attached two -car garage (20' x 20', clear interior measurements) which provides two
covered parking spaces for the proposed five -bedroom house. There is one uncovered parking space (9' x 20')
provided in the driveway. All other Zoning Code requirements have been met. The following applications were
approved by the City Council on April 20, 2009:
■ Design Review for a new two and a half story, single family dwelling with an attached garage (CS
25.57.010);
■ Hillside Area Construction Permit for a new single family dwelling (C.S. 25.61.020).
■ Special Permit for an attached garage (CS 25.28.035 a); and
■ Variance for building height (63'-5" proposed, where 30', is the maximum allowed) (CS 25.28.060 c).

Re: 2843 Adeline Drive
Dear Erica,
In response to your November 15, 2012 e-mail regarding the list of items that require FYI
and/or Design Review Amendment, I would like to clarify the following:
1. The approved landscape along the southeast neighbor was impossible to implement due
to the fact that the sewer and storm drain easements were granted to the house at
Vista Lane. Due to this easement, the planting of any tree was impossible. The
approved landscape plan showed seven (7) 24-inch Umbellularia. In lieu of this we have
placed four (4) 48-inch large evergreen trees and twelve (12) giant bamboo trees
approximately 20 to 25 feet tall. This massive screening was done to please our
neighbor, Mr. & Mrs. Art LaBrie.
The landscape in front showed three (3) trees to be planted in anticipation that by
building a retaining wall, all the existing very tall trees will be damaged or removed. That
scenario did not happen and we were able to preserve the four (4) existing mature trees.
The approved landscape plan shows five (5) trees at the southwest corner. These trees
are impossible to plant due to the retaining walls and limited space available for any
kind of vegetation. We have planted seven (7) giant bamboo trees, approximately 20 to
25 feet tall as a replacement.
In addition, we have planted fourteen (14) hedge plants for privacy from the street and
screening of the house.
2. One window was added in the shower of the second floor bathroom for light and
ventilation.
3. Fronted glass entry/gate was installed for privacy and security.
4. The bathroom window above the garage was reduced in size due to the location of the
interior wall.
5. The garage door was upgraded from metal panel to wood and glass custom door.

6. The deck adjacent to Bedroom #3 was not reduced by 50%. This was a subject of
objection by Mr. Art LaBrie, our next door neighbor. This is a single neighbor concern
and not a community issue. We have made tremendous effort to reach an agreement
with him to keep our deck. In the process, we have offered him numerous concessions
as follows:
a. A permanent recorded easement for his driveway which is encroaching in our
property
b. A permanent recorded landscape easement for his encroachments on the side of
our property
c. Provide and pay for survey and legal fees for the above
d. Plant four (4) very large trees between the two properties (on top of that, we
additionally provided twelve giant bamboo trees as a privacy hedge for him)
e. Repair and/or replace the fence between the two properties
f. Install two (2) 48-inch trees at his property near the driveway
g. Replace and pay for his pool filter
7. The horizontal wood siding at the rear of the house was upgraded to stained wood, but
was reduced in area because of the symmetry of the rear elevation.
8. The small slanted skylight roof was eliminated due to structural complexity and issues.
All of these minor changes to the building are not visible from the street and public. Members
of the Planning Commission are welcome to contact me for a site visit and/or a tour. My cell
phone number is (650) 619-4871.

GARAGE FORA NEW, 3 Y2 STORY SINGLE FAMILY DWELLING AND ATTACHED GARAGE (ROBERT
VAN DALE, EDI ARCHITECTURE, APPLICANT AND ARCHITECT; AND DENHAM LLC, PROPERTY
OWNER) STAFF CONTACT: ERICA STROHMEIER
Reference staff report dated March 9, 2009, with attachments. Associate Planner Strohmeier presented the
report, reviewed criteria and staff comments. Sixteen (16) conditions were suggested for consideration.
Chair Cauchi opened the public hearing.
Alex Mortazavi, 20 Vista Lane; represented the applicant:
■ Have self-imposed a setback of over 23-feet from the side property line due to trees along the fence
line; the trees will reduce the appearance of bulk and mass of the building.
■ Noted that the trees will be California Laurel along the side of the residence; will be staggered in a
manner to totally block the view of the residence at the fence line.
■ Brought a window sample for the Commission to view.
■ Submitted a manufacturer's cut -sheet for the bi-fold doors and windows.
Commission comments:
■ Noted that lines of sight were drawn from several locations; was the 131.5' elevation the elevation of
the patio on the adjacent property (Mortazavi - has no idea what the patio elevation is; believes it is
at roughly 127' or 128').
■ Might there be more information regarding views toward the project from the southern end of the
adjacent yard on the right-hand side (Mortazavi - the right side is not affected; he owns the lot
above).
■ What is the growth potential for the trees (Mortazavi - up to 20-feet tall and 25-feet wide).
■ Clarified that the thought process is to move the trees to the fence line to block the view of the
house from the adjacent property; was there any thought to keeping the trees at the building itself
(Mortazavi - having the tree next to the building doesn't help as much, but will be offsetting some of
the trees. It is his interest to retain as much landscaping as possible; but lose the use of 4,000
square feet of property by doing so. There will be portions of the property that are visible. The
eight, 24-inch trees are significant landscape features).
■ Could the residence be camouflaged more by doing more planting; is there any way to clad the
elevator with wood rather than stucco (Mortazavi - the tower is further in from the property line by
around 14').
■ What is the best view from the residence (Mortazavi - one of the best views is towards Highway 92;
though under County development standards, something could be built to block the view).
■ Consider eliminating or reducing the deck off of the bedroom; it is substantial in size (Mortazavi -
that is the only sunny deck on the house; because of the other difficulties with the site. Will not be a
heavily used area. Placing it a few feet back will not help the neighbor). The Commission tries to
limit exposure of neighbors to decks overlooking a neighboring yard; due to the size of the deck,
there is the potential for greater activity. There is another deck on a lower level.

CITY OF BURLINGAME PLANNING COMMISSION — Approved Minutes March 9, 2009
Public comments:
Art and Kaelani LaBrie, 2839 Adeline Drive; Mike Ghaul, 2838 Adeline Drive; Gil McCoy, 1022 Bayswater
Avenue; Steve Ehrlich, 2833 Adeline Drive; George Chrissman, 2848 Adeline Drive; Eileen Shefsky, 24
Vista Lane; Pat Giorni, 1445 Balboa Avenue; spoke:
■ The bedroom deck is larger than either of the two bedrooms; the elevator shaft leads directly to the
deck; suggested that the owners of the home would use the deck more frequently, impacting privacy
of the adjacent property to the left.
■ Is a beautiful house, but it belongs on a 5-acre lot nearer to Los Angeles; doesn't belong in the
Burlingame Hills; the story poles confirmed the height of the proposed structure above the property
to the left.
■ Felt that the findings for the requested height Variance cannot be made; reviewed the findings.
There are other alternatives to the site and project design.
■ Will decrease the value of the property to the left by $150,000-$400,000.
■ Cited the significant difference in the size of the home versus the existing homes within the area.
■ A smaller version of the house would be a more marketable project.
■ Requested that the applicant explore other design alternatives.
■ The configuration of the property makes it difficult to develop; this is not the fault of the developer;
how can the problem be best resolved.
■ The prior design was too forced on the lot; it was suggested at that time that the design follow the
form of the lot.
■ Feels it is a good design.
■ The only problem in meeting the zoning requirements is the height; there is no good solution, but the
current proposal is the best solution.
■ Landscape screening will minimize impacts on the neighbor.
■ There is a large old Oak tree in front of Gall's property; should be protected during construction.
■ Suggested a smaller home to be more marketable and to reduce impacts.
■ The design impacts privacy of the neighbors, even three (3) properties away from the site.
■ This is more than double the maximum height allowed.
■ Looks like a high-rise building; there is a huge potential to impact the privacy of neighbors.
■ The design is out of character with the neighborhood.
■ Shefsky's property is two (21-stories; no Variances were requested.
■ The applicant is agreeable to providing screening on the right side.
■ Also open to providing a green roof system.
■ Sooner or later, something will likely be built on the property; should the neighbors decide to appeal
the Planning Commission's approval; would the City Council be bound to use the same rules applied
to properties lying within the City of Burlingame?
■ The Planning Commission is sensitive to privacy issues; some of the issues raised by the neighbors
are overblown.
Applicant rebuttal by Alex Mortazavi:
■ Is not an office building; the Variance is caused by the method of measuring height in Burlingame;
the measurement is taken from the curb line; the house follows the terrain of the lot.
■ Has owned the property for almost 10-years.
■ The solar panels on adjacent properties are irrelevant; they lie to the south of the property and will
not be impacted by the new home.
■ The access to the deck from the elevator can be eliminated, if desired.
■ The style of architecture in the neighborhood is mixed.
■ The prior proposal was presented a year ago; current project is less visible.
7
. CITY OF BURLINGAME PLANNING COMMISSION —Approved Minutes March 9, 2009
■ Real estate agents have their own opinions regarding impacts upon property values.
■ The design of the house steps up the hill and adds to the cost of the construction due to the amount
of circulation space necessary within the residence.
■ Were surprised that the neighbor encroaches upon the property with retaining walls and gates.
■ The hardship is that the lot contains one-half acre; are preserving the trees on the property; this is
only a two-story building.
■ The block's average setback also creates a hardship.
■ Have minimized impacts upon the neighbors; every adjustment affects one of the neighbors; there
must be a compromise; the project can't be made invisible.
■ Having- a $3 million home next to a property will increase the value of the adjacent properties.
■ The Commission is aware of the efforts that have been made by the applicant.
Additional Commission comments:
Concerned that bedrooms 2 and 3 are problematic elements in the design; there is a certain realty
that has to be accepted; the Commission is responsible for finding compromises. Has the applicant
looked at shifting the mass of the bedroom to the other side of the building (Mortazavi — has looked
at this alternative. Considered flipping the floor plan, but ends up impacting mature trees,
particularly due to the driveway location. Would also disturb the Shefsky property even more. Can't
cantilever the bedrooms; would need to expand the family room and add to the bulk of the property
and impact trees. Have communicated with the neighbors and made attempts to address
neighbors' interests).
Regarding the screening on the south side; how tall are the trees (Mortazavi —drawn at 14-feet, but
will grow to 25-feet). The tree will work better as a screen if it is taller (Mortazavi — staggering the
trees will also help to screen).
Continuing the mass on the south side would have a greater impact than the current design.
Noted that a cool, concrete color will help to disguise the mass.
There were no further comments and the public hearing was closed.
Further Commission comments:
The applicant has taken the direction of the Planning Commission well; is a good design.
The trees being installed on the property will provide a lot of screening.
Has demonstrated that the house will be well screened from Adeline Drive.
Commissioner Auran moved to approve the application, by resolution, with the following amended
conditions:
Reduce deck to 8-foot depth from the front facade.
Tree protection for Oak across the street.
The motion was seconded by Commissioner Vistica.
Discussion of motion:
■ Concern is more with the width of the deck as it impacts the neighbor to the left, consider reducing
the width rather than the depth.
■ Consider revising the motion to reduce width of deck by 50% instead of 8-foot depth reduction.
■ Clarified that the Commission never voted on the prior application.
■ The challenges created on the property are due to the topography.
8
CITY OF BURLINGAME PLANNING COMMISSION — Approved Minutes March 9, 2009
■ There was always an acknowledgement that there would be a Variance of some sort required for
development of the property.
■ The story poles have demonstrated the potential impacts, the home is in excess of 6,000 square
feet, the design is nearly acceptable, but not yet, the impacts of the bedrooms can be mitigated by
placing them on the first floor.
■ Commissioner Brownrigg indicated that he couldn't support the current project as designed, without
mitigating the mass more; there is no need for the deck off of the bedroom.
■ Applicant commended on the design of the building, moved in this direction at the suggestion of the
Planning Commission; has addressed the concerns of the neighbors to a large degree; though there
is still some impact on the LaBrie property.
■ Would like the deck off of the bedroom eliminated.
■ Hard to touch rooms to the ground with this type of design; the decks are an important element of
the design and the livability of the house.
■ The screening proposed by the applicant should work to address neighbor impacts; there are
actually few windows on the left wall of the residence.
■ The house is already set back quite a distance from the left property line.
■ The design in general is well worked out, has been studied by the applicant.
■ Maker of motion indicated a willingness to eliminate the deck off of the bedroom; agreed to by the
second of the motion.
■ Planting plan for trees along the left side of the property should return to the Commission as an FYI.

Pollution Prevention It.'s Part of the- Plan
It is your responsibility to do. the job right!
Runoff from streets and otlierpaved areas is a'raajor source of pollution.in local creeks, San Francisco Bay and the Pacific Ocean.
Construction activities can directly affect the health of our waters unless contractors and crews plan ahead to keep dirt, debris, and other
constriction waste away from storm drains and creeks. Followingthese guidelines will ensure your compliance with local stormwater
ordinance requirements. Remember, ongoing monitoring and maiutcnance of installed controls is crucial to proper implementation.

WHY SHOULD WE WORRY ABOUT SOIL EROSION?
Water and wind carry soil from our Bay Area land down into our
streams, lakes and the Bay. This soil carries with it pollu-
tants sucfn as oil and grease, chemicals, fertilizers, animal
wastes and bacteria, which threaten our water quality.
Such erosion also costs the home construction industry, local
government, and the homeowner untold millions of dollars
a year.
Nature slowly wears away land, but human activities such as
construction increase the rate of erosion 200, even 2; 000 times
that amount. When we remove vegetation or other objects that
hold soil in place, we expose it to the action of wind and water
and increase its chances of eroding.
The loss of soil from a construction site results in loss of topsoil,
minerals and nutrients, and it causes ugly cuts and gullies in the
landscape. Surface runoff and the materials it carries with it clog
our culverts, flood channels and streams. Sometimes it destroys
wildlife and damages recreational areas such as lakes and re-
servoirs.
As an example, road and home building in the Oakland hills
above fake Temescal filled the lake to such an extent that it had
to be dredged in 1979 at a public cost of $750,000.
NEED MORE INFORMATION?
ABAG has produced a slide/tape show on soil erosion
called "Money Down the Drain." It is available for showing
to any interested group. Call ABAG Public Affairs at (415)
841-9730.
ABAG has also published a "Manual of Standards for Sur-
face Runoff Control Measures" which deals extensively
with designs and practices for erosion prevention, sedi-
ment control, and control of urban runoff. The manual
addresses problems and_ solutions as they apply to
California and the Bay Area. It can be purchased from
ABAG and is available on reference at many local libraries
and in city and county public works and planning depart-
ments.
USDA Soil Conservation Service personnel are willing to
provide more information on specific erosion problems.
This brochure is a cooperative project of the Association of
Bay Area Governments and the East Bay Regional Park
District.

TIPS FOR THE HOMEOWNEI
"Winterize" your property by mid -September. Don't
wait until spring to put in landscaping. You need
winter protection. Final landscaping can be done
later.
Inexpensive measures installed by fall will give you
protection quickly that will last all during the wet
season.
In one aftemoon you can:
• Dig trenches to drain surface runoff water away
from problem areas such as steep, bare slopes.
• Prepare bare areas on slopes for seeding by raking
the surface to loosen and roughen soil so it will
hold seeds.
Seeding of bare slopes
• Hand broadcast or use a "breast seeder." A typical
yard can be done in less than an hour.
• Give seeds a boost with fertilizer.
• Mulch if you can, with grass clippings and leaves,
bark chips or straw.
• Use netting to hold soil and seeds on steep .slopes.
• Check with your local nursery for advice.
Winter alert
• Check before storms to see that drains and ditches
are not clogged by leaves and rubble.
Check after major storms to be sure drains are clear
and vegetation is holding on slopes. Repair as
necessary.
Spot seed any bare areas.
WHAT YOU) • TO
CONTROL EROSION
' PROTECT
YOUR P. • . .
SKI i�e-Ira•
Soil erosion costs Bay Area homeowners millions of dol-
lars a year. We Iose valuable topsoil. We have to pay for
damage to roads and property. And our tax money has to
be spent on cleaning. out sediment from storm drains,
channels, lakes and the Bay.
You can protect your prop-
erty and prevent future
headaches by following
these guidelines: _
BEFORE AND
DURING
CONSTRUCTION
• Plan construction activities during spring and summer,
so that erosion control measures can be in place when
the rain comes.
• Examine your site carefully before building. Be aware of
the slope, drainage patterns and soil types. Proper site
design will help you avoid expensive stabilization work.
Preserve existing vegeta-
tion as much as possible.
Limit grading and plant
removal to the areas
under current construc-
tion. (Vegetation will
naturally curb erosion,
improve the appearance
and the value of your
property, and reduce the
cost of landscaping later.)
• Use fencing to protect plants from fill material and traffic.
If you have to pave near trees, do so with permeable as-
phalt or porous paving blocks.
• Preserve the natural contours of the land and disturb the
earth as little as possible. Limit the time in which graded
areas are exposed.
• Minimize the length and
steepness of slopes by
benching, terracing, or
constructing diversion
structures. Landscape
' benched areas to stabilize
the slope and improve its
appearance.
• As soon as possible after grading a site, plant vegetation
-on all areas that are not to be paved or otIZerwise
covered.
• Control dust on graded areas by sprinkling vAth water,
restricting traffic to certain routes, and paving or gravel-
ing access roads and driveways.
TEMPORARY MEASURES- TO
STABILIZE THE SOIL
Grass provides the
cheapest and most ef-
fective short-term ero-
sion control. It grows
quickly and covers the
ground completely. To
find the best seed mix-
tures and plants for
your area, check with
your local nursery, the
U.S. Department of Ag-
riculture Soil Conserva-
tion Service, or the
University of California
Cooperative Extension.
Mulches hold soil moisture and provide ground protection
from rain damage. They also provide a favorable. envi-
ronment for starting and growing plants. Easy -to -obtain
Mulches are grass clippings, leaves, sawdust, bark chips
and straw.
Straw mulch is nearly 1W % effective when held in place by
spraying with an organic glue or wood fiber (tackif ers), by
punching it into the soil with a shovel or roller, or by tack-
ing a netting over it.
Commercial applications of
world fibers combined with
various seeds and fertilizers
(hydraulic mulching) are effec-
tive in stabilizing sloped areas. = �_
Hydraulic mulching with a
tackifier should _
be done in two
separate appli-
cations: the first -
composed of seed fertilizer and half the mulch, the second
composed of the remaining mulch and tackifier. Commer-
cial hydraulic mulch applicators —who also provide other
erosion control services — are listed under "landscaping" in
the phone book.
Mats of excelsior, jute netting and plastic sheets can be ef-
fective temporary covers, but they must be in contact with
the soil and fastened securely to work effectively.
Roof drainage can be collected in barrels or storage con-
tainers or routed into lawns, planter boxes and gardens.
Be sure to cover stored water so you don't collect mos-
quitos, too. Excessive runoff should be directed away from
your house. Too much water can damage trees and make
foundations unstable.
STRUCTURAL RUNOFF CONTROLS
Even with proper timing and planting, you may need to
protect disturbed areas from rainfall until the plants have
time to. establish themselves. Or you may need permanent
ways to transport water across your property so that it
doesn't cause erosion.
To keep water from carrying soil from your site and dump-
ing it into nearby lots, streets, streams and channels, you
need ways to reduce its volume and speed. Some exam-
ples of what you might use are:
plastic sheeting
perimeter dike
straw mulch
Riprap (rock lining) —to
protect channel banks
from erosive water flow
• 'Sediment trap —.to
stop. runoff carrying
sediment and trap the
sediment
• Storm drain outlet
protection —to reduce
the speed of water flow-
ing from a pipe onto
open ground or into a
natural channel
• Diversion dike or perimeter dike —to divert excess
water to places where it can be disposed of properly
• Straw* bale dike —to stop and detain sediment from
-small unprotected areas
(a short-term measure)
• Perimeter Swale —to divert
runoff from a disturbed area .,
or to contain runoff within s
a disturbed area
• Grade stabilization structure —to carry concentrated
runoff down a slope
