Item No.
Regular Action
Meeting Date: April 12, 2010
Request: Design Review, Variances for Floor Area Ratio and Front Setback and Special Permit for an
attached garage for a first and second story addition to an existing single family dwelling.
Applicant and Property Owner: Jim and Barbara Millett APN: 026-044-140
Architect: Johnny Go, NII Architects Lot Area: 6,000 SF
General Plan: Low Density Residential Zoning: R-1
Environmental Review Status: The project is Categorically Exempt from review pursuant to the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), per Section 15301 (e)(1) of the CEQA Guidelines, which states that additions
to existing structures are exempt from environmental review, provided the addition will not result in an increase
of more than 50% of the floor area of the structures before the addition.
Project Description: The existing single-story house with a detached garage contains 2,280 SF (0.38 FAR) of
floor area and has three (3) potential bedrooms. The applicant is proposing to demolish the existing detached
garage and to build a new one-car attached garage, which changes the floor area ratio calculation. The
applicant is also proposing a first floor addition at the back of the proposed attached garage and a new 1,242 SF
second story. With the proposed addition, the floor area will increase to 3,346 SF (0.56 FAR) where the zoning
code allows a maximum of 3,020 SF (0.50 FAR). The project is 326 SF above the maximum allowable FAR, and
therefore the applicant has applied for a Floor Area Ratio Variance. Planning Staff would note that the total
square footage of the new attached garage and storage area is 273 SF. If the proposed attached garage and
storage area were considered exempt from the floor area ratio calculation, then the project would exceed the
maximum allowable floor area by 53 SF.
The existing front setback to the covered porch area has a nonconforming setback of 19'-10", where 20'-2"
(block average) is the minimum required. The applicant is proposing to expand the area of the existing front
porch that is covered and therefore has applied for a Front Setback Variance (19'-10" proposed, where 20'-2",
block average, is the minimum required).
With the addition, the number of existing bedrooms will increase from three (3) to four (4). Two parking spaces,
one of which must be covered, are required on site. The existing detached one-car garage will be demolished
and a new, attached one-car garage will be constructed (10' x 20' clear interior dimensions proposed). One
uncovered space (9' x 20') is provided in the driveway. All other Zoning Code requirements have been met. The
applicant is requesting the following applications:
■ Design Review for a first and second story addition (CS 25.57.010, a, 1);
■ Floor Area Ratio Variance for a first and second story addition (3,346 SF, 0.56 FAR proposed; where
3,020 SF, 0.50 FAR is the maximum allowed) (CS 25.28.070, a);
■ Front Setback Variance to the covered front porch addition (19'-10" proposed, where 20'-2", block
average, is the minimum requirement) (CS 25.28.072 b, 1); and
■ Special Permit for an attached garage (CS 25.28.035 a).

Design Review Study Meeting: At the Planning Commission Design Review Study meeting on March 8, 2010,
the Commission was supportive of the design of the project, but had concerns with the Variance requestforfloor
area ratio and voted to place the item on the RegularAction Calendarwhen complete. The Commission noted
that the applicant should review any possible reductions in floor area that could make the Variance more
palatable (March 8, 2010 Planning Commission Minutes). The propertyownersubmitted revised plans on March
26, 2010, and a response letter on April 6, 2010, to further address the Variance request for floor area ratio and
to respond to the Commissions concerns.
Design Review Criteria: The criteria for design review as established in Ordinance No. 1591 adopted by the
Council on April 20, 1998 are outlined as follows:

RE: 1444 Vancouver Avenue, Burlingame
SUBJECT: FAR Variance
�����'@���
;� � ,: � ;� 20iC
i-�':' "� z�.!��� Ir�,�;•,nn.=
-�, ,,�,
Per the Planning Commission meeting on March 8, 2010, the general
consensus was an agreement with the project design and a justification of
exceeding the FAR by the amount of the garage and storage area. The total FAR
of this area is 273'; however the variance application was for 386.45', which left
113.5' in question. We have since reviewed the drawings with our Architect in an
attempt to make the variance "more palatable". While maintaining the needs of
our family and working with the limitations presented in utilizing the existing
footprint of the house, we have succeeded in a FAR reduction of 60.5'. This total
FAR reduction leaves 53' that is not considered as part of the garage.
We have implemented the Planning Commission suggestion of reworking
the front porch. The column in the center has been removed so it doesn't block
the view of the door and the stairs have been relocated so they now face the
street with a walkway to the sidewalk, as opposed to thru the driveway. The
relocation of the entry closet allows moving the front door and the related wall
into the house by 2' which increases the porch size and reduces the FAR. We
feel this has provided a great improvement to the overall aesthetics of the front of
the house as well as increasing our ability to use the front porch.
We have also reduced the size of the second story addition by moving both the
south and north exterior walls in 6". This compromise is in respect to the need to
make every reasonable effort in reducing our FAR overage.
In addition to the previously submitted variance reasons which were part
of the staff report, I would like to add the following information.
The property has special circumstances that make a detached garage
prohibitive. The project is a remodel that utilizes three sides of the existing
footprint. We have implemented a design conducive to the desires indicated in
the Burlingame Design Review Guidelines as well as ideas from the Planning
Commission and our neighbors. Compromises have been made to the new areas
while working with the limitations of the existing footprint. The denial of this
variance based on the 53' of FAR that is not part of the garage would put an
unnecessary expense and impact to the environment by requiring demolition of
an existing area just to make it part of the garage as opposed to part of the
house. This change would have no benefit to the exterior design or massing of
the project and would be an exercise of semantics resulting in an inferior product.
The project has the support of the neighboring houses and the design will
positively impact the neighborhood. The design actually reduces the existing lot
coverage, therefore providing increased greenscape. The acceptance of this
variance will allow us to enjoy similar privileges of those who are able to utilize a
detached garage.

Reference staff report dated March 8, 2010, with attachments. Associate Planner Strohmeier briefly
presented the project description. There were no questions of staff.
Chair Terrones opened the public comment period.
Clarified that the design minus the attached garage and storage area is over the maximum FAR by
around 113 square feet.
Jim Millett, 1444 Vancouver; represented the applicant.
Commission comments:
■ Likes the design.
■ Regarding the entry to the front porch; the only way to the front door is from the driveway; consider
providing a path from the sidewalk to the front door.
■ Ok with the attached garage.
■ Design fits well within the neighborhood.
■ Design is massed correctly; has broad neighborhood support.
■ Concerned about the massing on the right-hand side.
■ Concerned about the Variance request and the precedent that it could set; the overage in floor area
is blamed on the garage since it is attached, but it is only contributing 273 square feet to the floor
area.
■ Placing the garage at the rear of the house would reduce the mass of the house.
■ If the overage were only related to the garage area; could support the Variance. (Millett — has
struggled with the floor area.)
■ Consider removing some of the floor area to reduce the Variance to only that area attributable to
the garage.
■ Is there a way to open up the front entry? (Millett — sure something can be done.)
■ Clarify that windows will be aluminum-clad wood windows.
■ The design of the house could meet the criteria discussed by the Neighborhood Consistency
Subcommittee for attached garage; could then be considered as a Special Permit if the increase
above maximum FAR doesn't exceed the area of the garage. (Meeker — noted that the applicant
has heard the Commission's concerns regarding the excess floor area; it is up to him to strengthen
his arguments for the Variance findings.)
■ The reading alcove also adds to the floor area; a reduction could be achieved in this area.
■ Consider opening up the front entry a bit more.
Public comments:
Pat Giorni, 1445 Balboa Avenue and Bruce Detweiler; 1448 Vancouver Avenue; spoke:
Understands not creating a precedent, but the neighbors are supportive of the project.
Make an executive decision that finds that the design is a remodel; the family is being allowed to
take the design to a level that meets their needs.
12
CITY OF BURLINGAME PLANN/NG COMM/SS/ON — Unapproved Minutes March 8, 2010
The design is beautiful. There has been a lot of construction that has occurred in the
neighborhood; feels the design works and meets the need of the family.
There were no other comments from the floor and the public hearing was closed.
Additional Commission comments:
■ Likes that it is a remodel; believes the design is well done.
■ Would be inclined to approve the Variance.
■ There is a problem with the slope of the lot that prevents placing the garage on the downhill slope;
can support the Variance.
■ Inclined to agree that the lot slope and impracticality of placing the garage in the rear of the
property, combined with the presence of the wall of the neighbor's house contributes to the need for
a Variance.
■ The home is nicely designed and massed.
■ If the rear of the house were pulled in, the design would become unaesthetic.
■ Struggles with the potential precedent for approval of the Variance.
Commissioner Cauchi made a motion to place the item on the Regular Action Calendar when complete.
This motion was seconded by Commissioner Yie.
Discussion of motion:
The applicanf should review any possible reductions in floor area that could make the Variance
more palafable.
Chair Terrones called for a vote on the mofion to place this item on the Regular Action Calendar when
plans have been revised as directed. The motion passed on a voice vote 5-0-2 (Commissioners Vistica
and Lindstrom absent). The Planning Commission's action is advisory and nof appealable. This item
concluded at 9:21 p.m.

Agenda Item # 4- 117 Costa Rica Ave.
My mother in law passed away unexpectedly yesterday. This afternoon and
tonight I will be busy with taking care of some of the details of the funeral. So I
will not be able to be at tonight's meeting.
The only project that I object to is 117 Costa Rica, the upper dormer does not look
proportional to the building, I don't see a purpose for it, the west elevation needs
detail, the south elevation does not flow, project need work, too massive for the
site.
1444 Vancouver needs more detail, front-south elevation needs to embellish the
stair case to tie it into the house , right now it just sticks up in the air, there is no
west or north elevation to show those elevation details, plans state vinyl or
aluminum windows, states exterior trim to be fiber cement, prefer wood for both
windows and trim.

Hi Ms. Strohmeier
We are neighbors behind Jim and Barbara Millet at 1441 Bernal (behind and one house down). We have
reviewed their remodel plans and support their project without reservation. The finished home will be very
attractive and blend nicely with other adjacent homes.
We hope their project is approved without delay.

Burlingame, Ca 94010
March 3, 2010
This letter is in reference to the Millett property located at 1444 Vancouver Avenue in Burlingame. I live
across the street at 1433 Vancouver Avenue and my front door looks at the front of this property. I
support the renovation.
I have reviewed the plans that they have designed in order to renovate the house. I believe that
according to the plans, this will be an improvement for them but will also be an improvement for our
neighborhood. It appears to have the same structural lines as the original dwelling. The new design
compliments the existing property.
Another improvement is that the garage is recessed and accessible. This will take the many cars off the
street. It will be safer to have the cars off the street and reduce the possibility of theft. I know that
when the weather is rainy, I am grateful to enter my home without having to get wet.
I moved to my property in 2003. I have known Barbara and Jim Millett since I moved in. They are
respected, friendly, and helpful neighbors. They are in good standings within the neighborhood.
Should you have any questions regarding this matter, please feel free to contact me. My day time
phone number is (415) 835-7540. Thank you for your time.

Support of 1444 Vancouver
Dear Ms. Estrohmeier,
We have lived at 2112 Hale Dr. for almost nine years and have had the pleasure of being
neighbors with Barbara and Jim Millet. We are writing this letter to support their
building project. We have seen their building plans and we feel that their new home will
fit in beautifully with the other houses in the neighborhood. Our daughters frequently
play with their daughters, and they have become good friends. Vancouver is such a busy
street, I was pleased to see that they will have a good sized yard for the girls to play.
So many cars are always parked on Vancouver, it's a challenge to see clearly enough to
cross the street safely. Visibility is very difficult, and we even worry when we see
teenage children trying to cross the street at Vancouver and Hale. The Millets' attached
garage might give more room for the other parked cars that are always on the street.
Please feel free to contact us with any questions.
Thank You,
Barbara and George Moore

Re: 1444 Vancouver Avenue
Dear Erica,
We have been neighbors with the Millets for the past 18 years. We are writing this
letter to you to give our full approval of the design ptans for the addition that Jim and
Barbara Millet are proposing for their home on 1444 Vancouver Avenue. This project
would be a beautiful addition to our neighborhood. Their plan fits right in with the
designs of the surrounding homes on Vancouver Avenue and will not compromise the
neighborhood in any way. We are excited that they have the opportunity to build the
home of their dreams. The City of Burlingame should give their full approval to this
pro ject. Euch new pro ject submitted to the city should be looked at as a case by case
situation and this design proposal would be the best one for the Millets and the
surrounding neighborhood. We will be attending the public hearing on Monday evening
the 8th of March.

1444 VancouverAvenue
This letter is with reference to our neighbor's remodeling plans, the Millett Residence
located at 1444 Vancouver Avenue.
We have had an opportunity to view their remodeling plans and find them to be
aesthetically pleasing with an attached garage to give somewhat of a variation on
that side to both our homes. Truly, we feel they have done a wonderful job of the
entire project.
On a personal level, we have known the Milletts for a very long time. Mrs. Millet's
father has suffered a stroke and has diffculty getting around. It would be a great
convenience for her father to be able to enter the house in a more accessible manner,
as well as their many other older relatives.
We are so very fortunate to have the Millett Family as neighbors, with their sense of
family. Our eighteen year relationship has just about made us both feel like we are
"farnily."
We wish them luck with the entire remodeling project and hope you will consider
their plans and pass them as they now stand.
Thank you,
Joseph Marchetti

1444 Vancouver Avenue
Dear Ms. Strohmeier:
I have viewed the plans for the outstanding upgrade on this property.
It fits right into the lifestyle of the neighborhood community.
It looks to be a warm comfortable addition.
The attached garage willbe so helpful in loading and unloading children, grandparents etc.
without going outside facing differing weather conditions.
I thought the downstairs handicap bathroom assures them of many, many happy years of living
close to us.
THEY ARE SUCH GOOD NEIGHBERS.
Sincerely,
Patricia Simonetti

Variance Application- answers to questions `,,_,,, ;
� � - � ;����
A. There do exist site conditions, which make a detached garage impractical
and inconsistent with the intent of the Burlingame Design Review
guidelines. The two-story wall of the home neighboring the driveway side
is built very close to the property line with the minimal side setback and
no declining height, producing a"tennis wall" appearance. The fence
dividing the two properties leaves 9' 8" of limited space to get a car down
the driveway. The combined result is a tunnel effect that makes the actual
use of the detached garage for parking a car very impractical. The
existing neighboring home negates the desired appearance of space that
usually results from a detached garage.
B. The existing neighboring structure makes a detached garage very
undesirable as well as aesthetically displeasing. The proposed addition
that incorporates an attached garage and addresses the aesthetic issues
is actually 25% below what would be allowed if we were able to utilize a
detached garage.
C. The proposed addition will help mask the neighboring "tennis wall". The
attached garage will help with off street parking, as it will be practical to
use. The overall appearance of the surrounding area will improve as the
proposed design incorporates what is desired in Burlingame homes to an
existing structure that is in need of repair.
�. The proposed addition will result in a mass/bulk that is consistent with the
surrounding area. The attached garage is consistent with the
neighborhood and the proposed setbacks and design will achieve the
intent of the Design Review guidelines. The second story is set back to
minimize the perceived mass from the curbside view. The existing
footprint is being maintained with exception of the garage side and
attention has been given to make things symmetrical and aesthetically
pleasing. We believe the design meets all the intentions of design review
and produces a structure that fits the neighborhood.

VARIANCE APPLICATION
The Planning Commission is required by law to make findings as defined by the City's Ordinance
(Code Section 25.54.020 a-d). Your answers to the following questions can assist the Planning
Commission in making the decision as to whether the findings can be made for your request.
Please type orwrite neatly in ink. Referto the back of this form for assistance with these questions.
a. Describe the exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable to
your property which do not apply fo other properties in this area.
The Front Setback Variance is required for a section of the existing porch due to the proposed
addition covering the entire porch as opposed to the existing partial coverage. As the porch is
existing, and the existing and proposed structures do not allow for much variation in porch location,
it seems allowing the existing to remain, as it is only 4" closer than the block average, is a
reasonable request.
b. Explain why the variance request is necessary for the preservaiion and enjoymenf of a
substantia! property right and what unreasonable properfy /oss or unnecessary
hardship might result from the denial of the application.
The variance request is necessary to allow the preservation of the current size porch currently
enjoyed by the homeowner. '
c. Explain why ihe proposed use at the proposed location will not be detrimental or
injurious to property or improvements in the vicinity or to public healih, safefy,
general welfare or convenience.
The proposed location will not be detrimental or injurious to property or improvements in the
vicinity as the only change is covering the entire porch as opposed to the existing partial coverage.
G�
How will the proposed project be compatible with the aesthetics, mass, bulk and
character of the existing and potential uses on adjoining properties in the general
vicinity?
The proposal of keeping the existing porch and adding cover over the section that that is currently
open will improve the aesthetics of the house. The covered porch adds character to an area currently
seen as a plain flat stucco wall. The mass and bulk are similar to surrounding properties and are
proportional to the proposed addition.

Special Permit Application - answers to questions
#1 The proposed addition will fit in the neighborhood as the adjacent homes
as well as the home across the street are all two stories homes with attached
garages. The adjacent home on the North side of the garage is set back from the
house similar to proposed addition. The surrounding structures are all similar in
height to the proposed addition. The attachment of the garage will allow us to
enjoy more outdoor living space and playing area for the children. The existing
garage has a number of problems that require the entire structure to be relocated
with all new material; nothing is salvageable. An addition built by the previous
owner is too close to the garage and blocks access. The garage is very old, has
no foundation, extensive termite damage, leaks and the entire structure has a
visible lean to the South.
#2 The proposed structure is designed to maintain the character of the
neighborhood. As stated above, surrounding houses are two stories with
attached garages. We had a previous design that incorporated a two-car garage,
which we would prefer, however we changed to a single car with a substantial set
back to improve the aesthetics and support the intent of the Design Review
guidelines. The two houses on the Sough side of our home have 2 car garages.
The rooflines are similar to the surrounding homes and varying setbacks and a
variety of finish material make the design consistent with the design reviews
guidelines. The added space in the backyard will allow us to enjoy the same
privileges as the neighbors who have been able use their backyards as outdoor
living space.
#3 The architectural style is consistent with that of the neighborhood and also
has the individual character we expect in Burlingame. The attachment of the
garage will allow us to actually park a car in it; as stated above, the existing
garage has access issues from being too close to the house. There are other
existing conditions that prohibit having a detached garage that are explained in
the hardship letter submitted with this application. The set back will achieve the
intent of a detached garage, satisfy the problems listed in the hardship letter and
provide a safe area in the backyard, as our section of Vancouver Avenue is a
very busy street. In the time we have lived here our cars have been involved in
accidents five times. The addition will interface well with the exiting home to the
South as it will help mask the large, flat, plane wall the makes up the North side
of the house. *Please see pictures
#4 No trees will be removed within the footprint of the proposed addition.

RE: Hardship issues at 1444 Vancouver Avenue ,;�, �,,_ ;;�,; ��_,, :� �,�.�,�;F
With full respect and consideration for the Burlingame Residential Design
Review process the preliminary design for our home remodel has run into an
issue with the allowable floor area ratio, specific to homes with attached
garages. Ideally, we would be adding the second story addition and not
touching the garage. However there are several existing problems that make
the demolition of the existing garage and its relocation a requirement rather
than an option.
The original garage was poorly constructed having no foundation it has been
overcome with termite and dry rot damage. The entire structure actually has
a lean to the South that is visible from the street. During the time of a
previous owner, an addition was allowed on the back of the house that
resulted in the house being too close to the garage and making access a
problem.
The first area of hardship is in regards to an elderly parent handicapped
from a stroke. The parent can navigate a small number of steps with the
proper railings in place. The attached garage entry will provide this for the
parent. Our design will allow covered access into the house as well as a
handicapped bedroom and bath on the first level of the home. The use of
stairs to a second story bedroom would be a problem. In order to do this and
maintain similar room sizes to our existing home, we are 307' over the FAR
allowed when an attached garage is utilized.
The second area of hardship relates to the neighboring home on the South
side, adjacent to our existing driveway. The two story home is built with
minimal side set back and no declining height. This gives it a tennis wall
appearance, having a long, high flat plane with only one lower window.
(Please see pictures) This neighboring structure and the 9' 8" width of
driveway from the side of our home to the fence line creates a narrow tunnel
like appearance and makes using the driveway to access a detached garage a
hardship. The desired aesthetics usually associated with a detached garage
will not exist here.
We have been working with our architect, consulted the advice of locals and
revised our plans several times to produce a design we feel meets everyone's
,, � »
intentions. Although we are over the FAR allowed for homes with attached
garages, we are almost 25% under the 400 sq. ft. allowed had our existing
conditions been conducive to utilize a detached garage. The 36' set back we
have for the attached garage provides the desired curbside appearance and
helps mask the neighboring "tennis wall".
We have used the Neighborhood Design Guide Book and Rl-District
Regulations, implementing Burlingame's desired design criteria and
observed the remaining District scope regulations. As long time Burlingame
residents, we enjoy and appreciate the neighborhood Design Review helps to
maintain. The review for consideration of this issue is greatly appreciated.
