Please ��`A�� ?� following questions as they apply to your property to show how the findings can be made for your application request. A letter may also be submitted if you need additional space or if you wish to provide additional information for the Planning Commission to consider in their review of your application. Please write neatly in ink or type. 1. Explain why the proposed use at the proposed location 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. The addition will be in the back of the house which is not visable from the street, nor from the neighbors property to the north, east, or west of our property. The impact to the neighbors to the south will be minimal as the ma-jority of the addition �aill be blocked by their detached garage. 2. Discuss how the proposed use will be located and conducted in a manner in accord with the Burlingame General Plan and Zoning Ordinance. The addition is for residental use in an Rl zone. The required permits will be sought from the appropriate city departments. 3. Discuss how the proposed project will be compatible with the aesthetics, mass, bulk and character of the existing neighborhood and potential uses on adjoining properties in the general vicinity. Per Code Section 25.52.020 (3), the Planning Commission may impose such reasonable conditions or restrictions as it deems necessary to secure the purposes of Title 25 (Zoning) in the operation of the use. The addition will be to the back of the house beside our neighbors detached garage. The house was built in 1959 and has sustained only limited upkeep. The house has been a rental for the past 10 years and is in great need of repair and attention. By adding a new bathroom, and gutting the existing, we will eliminate the dry rotted, out dated bathroom, and bring our house up to the level of those in our neighborhood. � �:��t��'� DEC t ? ioat Melinda and Whit Hall 1234 Vancouver Avenue Burlingame, CA 94010 December 12, 1991 City of Burlingame Planning Commission City Hall 501 Primrose Road Burlingame, CA 94010 Dear Commissioners: Thank you for taking the tim2 to consider our proposal. We are seeking permission to add a baL'nroom to our existing house. GT1� O�� 11�L(�1GAV�= �i..s�if�i�i�I:i �C�'�! Obtaining a variance will allow us to add 93.5 square feet to our master bedroom. This new space will be utilized as a bathroom. The current master bathroom is 42.25 square feet, has extensive dryrot, is out of date, and is not functional for a working couple. Due to the small size of the existing bathroom, the two of us are unable to get readv ror work at the same time in the bathroom. The shower in the pathroom is a small corner stall unit in which it is nearly impossible to wash your hair without hitting your elbows on the stall walls. Also, the bathroom has one small sink and limited s�orage space. Our current morning routine is for one person to a2t readv in the master bathroom and the other person to get ready in the hail bathroom. This works OK for us now, granted incon�enient as it may be, but will not work well once our family has increased by one or two. Addition of a new master bathroom will provide us with the space required for two adults. Regardless of the outcome of vour decision, the existing master bathroom will have to be gut�2� in o-d2r to repair the dryrot. A master bathroom in the new iocation would make the master bedroom more functional. If the variance is granted, we will then seek a permit to build the new bathroom and convert the existing bathroom into a walk-in clos2st. 0 0 � v#f � � � �` 1�6/ OEC 1 2 t9ot c�N o� gu�uncGavoE �'�1Nf�I�,�G DEPT The addition will have no -�isual irr�pact from the street as it will be in the back of the :,ouse. Th� sarne roof and wall lines will be used (please see t':�? attached photo). This portion of the yard is not readily accessibly and functional due to its location (please see the a��ached site plan) and is currently occupied by an unsightly s�o�age shed left by our tenants. The addition will be an asset �� '�e house and neighborhood as it will increase the attracti-�eness and appeal of the house and yard. Thank you for your consideraLion.
