Planning Comm�ssion and City Council
City oi Burlingame
Burlingame, Cali.fornia
Gentlemen:
Application is hereby ma.de for a variance to subdivide my
property, located at 1215 Vancouver Avenue, Burlingame, in accor-
dance with the attached Propased Subdivision Map. The proposed sub-
division of the one acre parcel would produce two 60'x150• lots fac�
ing on Vancouver Avenue. It would leave the present residence at
the rear of the property, together with approximately .58 acre of
land, having a frontage of 30 feet on Vancouver Avenue.
Earlier this year permission was obtained to subdivide my
property into two 50'x150' lots facing on Vancouver Avenue, leaving
the present residence (together with approximately 2/3rds acre of
land) with 50' frontage on Vancouver.
The proposed variance is being sought for the following
reasons:
1. Due to the height of my land above Vancouver Avenue,
and due to the fact that the existing residence is
located at the rear oi the property, only Lots A and
B are vis_ible from the street. Sixty foot frontage
for Lots A and B would permit wider, more attractive,
desirable type homes to be built on these lots.
Wider frontage would also permit easier and better
driveway access. The wider frontage for Lots A and
B would enhance the beauty of any homes to be built,
and would tend to enhance the value of surrounding
property in the neighborhood.
2. The utility and beauty of Lot C would remain unimpai�-
ed, because the entrance to Lot C, r�amely the existing
.
-2-
driveway tagether with adjoining hedges,
less than 30 feet of frontage. A wider
Lot C would only mean additional land to
Lot C, wzthout any benefit to Lot C.
3. Because a 10 foot P G& E easement
easterly side of Lot B, and because
set-backs are required on the other
1;imitation of 50• frontage would be
B. Only a narrow house with steep
constructed. On the other hand, 60
Lot B makes better use of the land.

The proposed subdivision would insure better proportioned
lots, with more logical boundary lines. It would take fuller ad-
vantage of terrain, the location of the existing residence and drive-
way, and would permit be`tter development of any homes which may be
constructed on the front lots.
Thank you for your consideration.
Very truly yours �,�
