We are writing in support of Anne and Rob Hoeksema's variance request.
We have seen their plans and agree that they are consistent with the style
and size of their house,
The proposed one-car garage addition will give them more off-street parking
than they have now. We encourage your approval of their request.
Sincerely,

CITY OF BURLINGAME
FRONT SETBACK AND PARKING VARIANCES
Address: 1112 Balboa Avenue
Meeting Date: 4/7/97
Request: Front setback variance for an e�sting first floor (17'-0" elcisting where 19"-2" is the
average for the block, new construction standazds apply) (CS 25.28.065 & 25.28.072,
2(a)) and a parking variance for number of covereti parlflng spaces (1 provided where 2
are required for new construction (CS 25.70.030(a)(1)(a)).
Applicant: Daniel Biermann, Design Studio APN: 026-161-180
Property Owners: Robert & Ann Hoeksema
Lot Area: 6,000 SF (50' x 120') �
General Plan: Low density residential Zoning: R-1
Adjacent Development: Single family residential
CEQA Status: Article 19. Categorically Exempt per Section:
15303 - New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures Class 3(a+e), Single-family residences
not in conjunction with the building of two or more such units. In urbanized azeas, up to three
single-family residences may be constructed or converted under this exemption.
Summary: The applicant is requesting front setback and parking variances for a first and second
story addition qualifying it as new construction to a single family. dwelling at 1112 Balboa Avenue,
zoned R 1. The applicant is proposing to remove an existing 324 SF detached garage (18'-0" x 18'-
0" exterior dimensions) and attach a single car garage (10'-0" x 20'-0" interior dimensions) to the
house as part of the new construction. The uncovered parking space is provided in the 59' long
driveway.
The existing two bedroom, one bathroom house is 1,242 SF (including front covered porch) with a
324 SF detached garage. The first floor would be enlarged by 625 SF at the rear for the addition of
a single car garage, breakfast nook, stairway, storage room and a covered porch.
The 628 SF second story addition over the new first floor area at the back of the house would provide
a master bedroom, master bathroom, covered balcony and a den/office. This den/office area is not
considered a bedroom because more than 50 % of its wall is opened to the master bedroom. The
completed house would have a total of three bedrooms. The first and second floor additions would
increase the floor area of the dwelling by 1253 SF (101%), from 1,242 SF to 2,394.SF (after
deducting 100 SF of covered porches, CS 25.28.265, 2). Because the floor area of the main
structure would increase by more than 50%, the project is considered new construction and is
required to meet current code requirements for setbacks, height, lot coverage, floor area ratio and
pazking (provide two covered spaces). 7�vo variances are required for this project:
1) Front setback variance for an existing first floor covered porch (17'-0" existing where 19'-2"
is the average for the block). The project proposes no change to the front of the structure.
2) Parking variance for number of covered parking spaces. The existing detached garage
(18'-0" x 18'-0" exterior dimensions) will be demolished and replaced with an attached single
car garage (10'-0" x 20'-0" interior dimensions). One covered parking space will be
provided, where two covered spaces are required because this is new construction; cunent
code requires one covered and one uncovered parking space for an increase from two to three
bedrooms.

Staff Comments:
The City Engineer and Fire Marshal reviewed the project and had no comments. The Chief Building
Inspector's February 24, 1997 memo notes that walls and ceiling of the garage must be covered in
5/a" type x gypsum boazd to achieve a one hour separation between the garage area and the living
area above it. Planning staff would note that the applicant has included several photographs to show
how the proposed addition will be comparable to adjacent houses in size and covered parking. These
sites aze also identified on the aerial.
Study Questions:
At their meeting on March 24, 1997 the Planning Commission had two requests regarding this
application (P.C. Minutes March 24, 199'n. The applicant has provided several tables which indicate
the number of bedrooms, baths; type of garage and number of covered spaces for houses on both
sides of the street on this block. Tables 1-4 aze sorted by address, number of bedrooms, type of
garage and number of covered parking spaces, respectively. In a letter from the applicant, dated
Apri17, 1997, he indicates that of the 23 houses on both sides of the street, 12 houses (52 %) have
single car garages with three or more bedrooms. The applicant also notes that there are three large
trees in the rear yard which prevents providing a two car garage. The persimmon tree (mislabeled
2
as a fig tree), cherry tree and oak tree (mistakenly omitted on site plan) are 28", 33" and 18" in
circumference, respectively. Staff would note that these trees do not meet the definition of a
protected tree. (A protected tree is any tree with a circumference of 48" or more when measured 54"
above natural grade, CS 11.06.020 a, l). The applicant states that these trees provide privacy for the
owners and might have to be removed if other alternatives for a providing a two car garage were
considered. Several neighbors in favor of this project have submitted letters to the Planning
Commission (included).
Required �ndings for Variance:
In order to grant a variance the Planning Commission must find that the following conditions exist
on the property (Code Section 25.54.020 a-d):
(a) there aze exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable to the property
involved that do not apply generally to property in the same district;
(b) the granting of the application is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial
property right of the applicant, and to prevent unreasonable property loss or unnecessary
hardship;
(c) 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; and
(d) that the 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.
Planning Commission Action:
The Planning Commission should hold a public hearing. Affirmative action should be made by
resolution and should include findings made for the requested variances. The reasons for any action
should be clearly stated. At the public hearing the following conditions should be considered:
1. that the project shall be built as shown on the plans submitted to the Planning Department date
stamped March 10, 1997 Site Plan, Existing Floor Plan, Proposed Upper and Lower Floor
Plans; and '
2: that the projecf shall meet all the requirements of the California Building and Fire Codes, 1995
edition, as amended by the City of Burlingame.

12/92 var.frm
a. Describe the exceptiona/ or extraordinary circurr�stances or conditions app/icab/e tojVour
property which do not app/y to other properties in this area. ' '
Do any conditions exist on the site which make other the alternatives to the variance imp�acticable or
impossible and are also not common to other properties in the area7 For example, is there a creek cutting
through the property, an exceptional tree specimen, steep terrain, odd lot shape or unusual placement of
existing structures7 How is this property different from others in the neighborhoodl
b. Exp/ain why the variance request is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a
substantia/ property right and what unreasonab/e property /oss or unnecessary hardship
might resu/t from the denia/ of the app/ication.
Would you be unable to build a project similar to others in the area or neighborhood without the exception?
(i.e., havinp as much on-site parkinp or bedroomsll Would you be unable to develop the site for the uses
allowed without the exception7 Do the requirements of the law place an unreasonable limitation or hardship
on the development of the propertyl �
c. Exp/ain why the proposed use at the proposed /ocation wi// not be detrimenta/ or injurious
to property or improvements in the vicinity or to public hea/th, safety, genera/ we/fare, or
convenience.
How will the proposed structure or use within the structure affect neighboring properties or structures on those
propertiesl If naighboring properties will not be affected, state why. Think about traffic, noise, lighting,
paving, landscaping sunlight/shade, views from neighbering �roperties, aase uf rn�:� tenance. Why will the
structure or use within the structure not affect the public's health, safety or peneral welfare7
Public health includes such things as sanitation (garbage), air quality, discharpes into sewer and stormwater
systems, water supply safety, and things which have the potential to affect public health (i.e., under�round
storage tanks, storage of chemicals, situations which encourage the spread of rodents, insects or
communicable diseases).
Public safetv. How will the structure or use within the structure affect police or fire protection7 wll alarm
systems or sprinklers be installedl, Could the structure or use within the structure create a nuisance or need
for police services (i.e., noise, unruly gatherings, loitering, Vaffic) or �re services (i.e., sto�age or use
flammable or hazardous materials, or potentially dangerous activities like welding, woodwork, engine removal).
General welfare is a catch-all phrase meaning community good. Is the proposal consistent with the city's
policy and goals for conservation and development7 Is there a social benefit7
Convenience. How would the proposed structure or use affect public convenience (such as access to or
parking for this site or adjacent sites)7 Is the proposal accessible to particular segments of the public such as
the elderly or handicapped7 � �
d. i-�ow wi/3 tr�� �r��,asad p:oj�c� �e �ompa�b�a v:�ith �h� 3esthetics, in�ss,�4u/� and character
of the existing and potentia/ uses on adjoining properties in the genera/ vicinityT
How does the proposed structure or use compare aesthetically with existing neighborhoodT If it does not
affect aesthetics, state why. If changes to the structure are proposed, was the addition designed to match
existing architecture or pattern of development on adjacent properties in the neighborhoodl If use will affect
the way a neighborhood/area looks, compare your proposal to other uses in the area and explain why it "fits".
How does the proposed structure compare to neighboring structures in terms of mass or bulk7 If there is no
change to structure, say so. If a new structure is proposed, compare its size, appearance, orientation etc. with
other structures in the neighborhood or area.
How. will the structure or use within the structure change the character of the neighborhood7 Think of
character as the image or tone established by size, density of developmerit and peneral,pattern of land use.
WII there be mo�e traffic or less parking available resulting from this useT If you don't feel the character of
the neighborhood will change, state why.
How will the proposed project be compatible with existing and potential uses in the general vicinity7 Compare
your project with existing uses. State why you feel your project is consistent with other uses in the vicinity,
and/or state why your project would be consistent with potential uses in the vicinity. � �zro2��.m�,

A. The existing Bungalow style residence is approximately. 1100 Sq.Ft. in size (excluding
garage) with a one car covered garage. As proposed the addition will be comparable to existing
residencies in size and covered parking ( see photo's ),however because of the 50% rule
established by the City of Burlingame we would only be allowed 550 Sq.Ft. of improvement; any
additional square footage above 550 Sq.Ft. would require a 2 car garage. for example, a typical
residence of 2000 Sq.Ft. would be allowed an addition of 1000 Sq.Ft without affecting parking
and/or additional site requirements. We feel because of current requirements set forth by the City of
Burlingame in conjuction with the small size of this residence that this creates an exceptional
condition not experienced by the majority of neighboring residences.
B. In order to fully benefit from the preservation & enjoyment of a substantial property right,
we request your consideration of neighboring residencies that have increased in size, have been
able to retain a one car garage without detrimental impact to the neighborhood. Furthermore the
existing one car garage is inadequate in it's present state, not only as useful space but as a saftey
hazard. By approval of this application you will be granting the property owners the same rights
enjoyed by other neighbors and also allowing for more useful offstreet covered and uncovered
parking areas. •
C. The addition is located approx. 65'-0" from the street and will be constructed at the same front
setback as the adjacent southern residence.This will ensure privacy for the owners and adjoining
neighbors in addition to also providing minor visual impact from the street. We feel because of the
location of the proposed addition it will not have an impact to the public health, saftey, general
welfare or convenience.
D. The proposed addition blends well with the existing architecture of the residence.The proposed
addition consists of cantilevers,balconeys and large eaves to soften mass and bulk , and the
character of the addition is in keeping with the 1950's architectural bungalow style. Additionally
the proposed lower floor floor line will start at grade level which is 3'-0" below the e�cisting
residence floor line.

Dear Conimissioners:
Robert �rnd Anne Hoeksema
1112 B�zlboa A>>enuc
Burlingamc, CA 94010
(415) 344-99�6
Attached is our variance application pertaining to the proposed addition to aur home at 1 1 12 Balboa
Avenue in Burlingame. We respectfully request your approval.
We both grew up in Burlingame and when we decided to buy a home and raise a family, we knew this
was where we wanted to be. We choose this neighborhood because of the quality schools, the people
and its charm. Part of this is reflected in the architecture. of the homes; many of which date back to the
1920's. Rather than move to a larger house elsewhere, we decided to add on. We carefully considered
the age, style and character of our 1925 bungalow in designing the ne�v addition. We spent considerable
time looking at additions throughout our neighborhood to determine �vhat �vould have the most favorable
impact to the area and matcli our needs at the same time.
The majority of our neighbors with additians have been able to retain their ����e �ar �arages. We are
seeking this same opportunity to have a one-car garage. in our case, we �vould actually be increasing our
off-street parking because our current garage is unusable in its present condition We took this fact into
account when we designed our plans.
We made every effort to ensure that our plans were in keeping with the overall character of our
neighborhood. We hope that you will take this into consideration as you revie�v our request for approval
of our variance application.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
, c�'Z��

Re: Addendum Letter to variance application dated; February 20, 1997
Project; Hoeksema Residence- 1112 Balboa Avenue, Burlingame, Ca.
Dear City Council members,
In response to your need for further clariiication of proof of hardship, the following
information may provide some additional insight.
After reviewing further data gathered by the owner and applicant justifying our request
for variance approval, our data shows that out of 23 total dwellings on the block, 69%
have 1 car covered garages and 52% have 1 car covered garages plus three bedrooms or
more. (see attached survey) We feel this information better emphasizes the isolated limitations
and exceptional circumstances/ conditions that would apply to this property. Also, please
review as written, original variance application letter, paragraph A.
In addition, please refer to site plan prepared by Design Studio which shows the locations
of a approximately 70 year old persimmon tree located behind the dwelling, a 30-40 year
old cherry tree behind garage and a 20 +- year old oak adjacent to garage ( mistakenly omitted).
Along with providing shade and beauty, these aged trees also provide much needed privacy
not only for the owners but for adjacent neighbors. thus these trees might have to be removed
if we were to consider alternate design approaches.
Thank you for your further consideration of this proposed project.

RE: PROPOSED VARIANCE/ 1112 BALBOA AVENUE.
To whom it may concern:
We have revie�ved the proposed addition plans for the above site, and find them homogenous with
the character of the neighborhood.
It also appears that the Hoeksema's wish to preserve yardspace by not expanding the garage. It
would be totally unnecessary since their house already has the ability to park 4-5 cars "off-street"
on the driveway.
We are in support of their proposed addition, and encourage your favorable review and approval.

Dear Commissioners:
I understand you are considering a variance application submitted by Rob and
Anne Hoeksema of 1 1 12 Balboa Avenue, I am in favor of your granting their
request.
I think that the proposed design of their addition will allow for plenty of off-
street parking and will have no advers� affect on our neighborhood.

To whom it may concern:
We have reviewed the Hoeksema's proposed addi�ion to
their house. We feel their design is in keeping with the
character of their house and the neighborhood.
We support their request for a variance to build a one-
car garage and feel that they will still have enough off-
street parking so as not to affect on-street parking
availability.

Alfred and Clara �izzolon

are required for new construction (CS 25.70.030(a)(1)(a)).
Applicant: Daniel Biermann, Design Studio
Property Owners: Robert & Ann Hoeksema
Lot Area: 6,000 SF (50' x 120')
General Plan: Low density residential
Adjacent Development: Single family residential
APN: 026-161-180
Zoning: R-1
CEQA St�tus: Article 19. Categorically Exempt per Section:
15303 - New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures Class 3(a+e), Single-family
residences not in conjunction with the building of two or more such units. In urbanized areas, up
to three single-family residences may be constructed or converted under this. exemption.
Summzry: The applicant is requesting front setback and parking variances for a first and second
story addition qualifying it as new construction to a single family dwelling at 1112 Balboa Avenue,
zoned R 1. The applicant is propos'mg to remove an existing 324 SF detached garage (18'-0" x 18'-0"
exterior dimensions) and attach a single car garage (10'-0" x 20'-0" interior dimensions) to the house
as part of the new construction. The uncovered parking space is provided in the 59' long driveway.
The existing two bedroom, one bathroom house is 1,242 SF (including front covered porch) with
a 324 SF detached garage. The first floor would be enlarged by 625 SF at the rear for the addition
of a single car garage, breakfast nook, stairway, storage room and a covered porch.
The 628 SF second story addition over the new first floor area at the back of the house would provide
a master bedroom, master bathroom, covered balcony and a den/office. This den/office area is not
considered a bedroom because more than 50% of its wall is opened to the master bedroom. The
completed house would have a total of three bedrooms. The first and second floor additions would
increase the floor area of the dwelling by 1253 SF (101%), from 1,242. SF to 2,394 SF (after
deducting 100 SF of covered porches, CS 25.28.265, 2). Because the floor area of the main structure
would increase by more than 50%, the project is considered new construction and is required to meet
current code requirements for setbacks, height, lot coverage, floor area ratio and parking (provide
two covered spaces). Two variances are required for this project:
1) Front setback variance for an existing first floor covered porch (17'-0" existing where 19'-2"
is the average for the block).
.y �
2) Parking variance for number of covered parking spaces. The existing detached garage
(18'-0" x 18'-0" exterior dimensions) will be demolished and replaced with an attached single
car garage (10'-0" x 20'-0" interior dimensions). One covered parking space is provided,
where two covered spaces are required for new construction; current code requires one
covered and one uncovered parking space for an increase to three bedrooms.

St�ff Comments:
The City Engineer and Fire Marshal reviewed the project and had no comments. The Chief Building
Inspector's February 24, 1997 memo notes that walls and ceiling of the garage must be covered in
5/e" type x gypsum board to achieve a one hour separation between the garage area and the living
area above it. Planning staffwould note that the applicant has included several photographs to show
how the proposed addition will be comparable to adjacent homes in size and covered parking. These
sites are also identified on the aerial.
