Mr. Tognetti of the City Engineer's office presented a ,map of a proposed sub-
division to be knovn as 'Burlingame Manor" at Hillside Drive and Skyline Boulevard,
containing 126 lots, which area is proposed to be annexed to the City of Burlingame.
There was considerable discussion of the plan of the subdivision, and the streetsand so
forth, at the conclusion of which the Commission indicated that they could see no reason
at this time why a formal plan of proposed development should not be approved in due
course when presented.
Clare Kemp appeared with various drawings and pictures which he said repre-
sented his ideas of the architectural treatment of the proposed Quonset type warehouse
which he desires to erect in the Broadway industrial area. There was considerable dis-
cussion on this subject to bring up the various points involved, such as the street or
road plan, the present absence of water and sewer connections and so forth. Mr. Kemp
urged that immediate affirmative action be taken, stating that this was the third time
he had brought up the subject, and the Planning Commission responded that he has pre-
sented the matter in a conversational form, and as yet the Commission has not anything
upon which it could pass one way or the other, except to say in General that there is
no desire to oppose the development as orally outlined by Mr. Kemp, but before any
action could be taken, it would be necessary for Mr. Kemp to present a definite proposi-
tion with plans and drawings, so that the matter would have proper attention in the
regular course. Thereupon Mr. Kemp presented to the Commission the following communica-
tion:
"The City Planning Commission,

There was found on the table at the Planning Commission meeting a roll of blue-
prints evidently relating to a proposed frame building to contain ten apartments to be
erected in Burlingame. Theseplans apparently had been left for the inspection of the
Planning Commission, but no one was present to give any information on the subject nor
did the plans indicate the location of the proposed structure. Accordingly no action
could be taken except to have the blueprints referred to the building inspector for in-
vestigation after Building Inspector Watson returns from his vacation. Commissioner
Coles stated that he has observed that construction has been started on Adeline Drive,
West of El Camino t^.here there is to be located a number of garages v4ith apartments on the
second floor. This is believed to be a development which may be related to an inquiry
presented to the Planning Commission sometime ago, which was disapproved because the
construction of apartments in that location would not comply with the zoning; ordinance.
This matter was held over for a report from Building Inspector Watson upon his return
from vacation.
City Clerk White presented an informal inquiry from H. E. Winfred, Contractor,
who desired to ask if it would be all right to proceed with the construction of a concrete
foundation, prefabricated aluminum building on Lots 11 to 16 inclusive, Block 9, Bayshore
Boulevard, to be rented to a machine shop. The Planning Commission replied that this is
in the area which was added to the apartment house district.
Chairman Mitchell reported that he has held discussions with a park planning
consultant looking toward the possibility of engaging the services of such a specialist
to advise the Park Commission and the Planning Commission. This matter is to have fur-
ther attention at a later meeting.
This being the last meeting of the fiscal year, there was brought up the subject
of electing a Chairman, Vice -Chairman, and Secretary to serve'for the ensuing year. Mr.
Mitchell stated that he had served the Commission as Chairman for many years, and on ac-
count of the pressure of other business, he would nom like to have the office passed along
to another Commissioner. It was unanimously voted that Commiss3ioner Harrison Coles will
serve as Chairman, Commissioner Broim- as Vice -Chairman, and COmmiL6ioner Stivers as
Secretary for the enusing year.
Commissioners Coles, Brovm, Macomber, Shattuck and Stivers unanimously voted a
resolution of appreciation to Commissioner Mlitchell for the va.uable services he has ren-
dered to the Planning Commission for many years past as Chairman.
There being no other business, the meeting adjourned at 10:10 p.m.
D. _.. 3TIVhRS1
