Home My WebLink About1464 Vancouver Avenue - Staff Report (2)City of Burlingame Design Review Item #6 Design Review Study Address: 1464 Vancouver Avenue Meeting Date: 11/22/04 Request: Design review for a new, two-story single family dwelling and detached garage. Applicant and Architect: John Stewart, Stewart Associates Property Owners: Michael Gong and Amy Lui General Plan: Low Density Residential APN: 026-044-190 Lot Area: 6520 SF Zoning: R-1 History: This project was originally submitted to the Planning Department on May 9, 2003, by the former property owner. On June 23, 2003, the Planning Commission reviewed the project and referred the project to a design review consultant to address several concerns with the project (June 23, 2003, P.C. Minutes). The design review consultant began review of the project, but in August, 2003, the project was withdrawn by the former property owner. The property then sold and the new property owners are now proposing the current project, which is a totally new design by a different architect. I,ot Line Adjustment: The property owners at 1464 and 1470 Vancouver Avenue are currently processing an application for a lot line adjustment between these two properties. The lot at 1464 Vancouver Avenue currently includes a portion of the lot measuring 13' wide x 52' long at the front left side of the property which was deeded to 1464 by the neighbors at 1470 Vancouver Avenue. The lot line adjustment application is to shift the property line 3'-6" towards the right for 52', therefore reducing the lot size at 1464 Vancouver Avenue from 6,702 SF to 6,520 SF. This smaller portion of the lot would now measure 10' wide x 52' long. The proposed project for a new, two-story single family dwelling and detached garage is based on the adjusted long line and reduced 6,520 SF lot size. Planning staff would note that the adjusted lot line would have caused the existing house at 1464 Vancouver Avenue to be built across the left side property line. Therefore, in order to proceed with the lot line adjustment application, the applicant was required to demolish the existing house. The applicant applied for a demolition permit and demolished the house in August, 2004. Summary: The applicant is proposing to build a new, two-story single family dwelling and detached two-car garage. The existing house was demolished several months ago in order to proceed with the lot line adjustment at 1464/1470 Vancouver Avenue. The proposed house and detached garage will have a total floor area of 3,531 SF (0.54 FAR) where 3,587 SF (0.55 FAR) is the maximum allowed. The project includes a detached two-car garage (427 SF, 20'-8" x 20'-8") which provides two covered parking spaces for the proposed four-bedroom house. All other zoning code requirements have been met. The applicant is proposing to remove a total of five fruit trees and one 18-inch diameter pine tree at the rear of the property. The applicant will be required to apply for a tree removal permit from the Parks Department to remove the pine tree. The proposed landscape plan indicates two, 24-inch box trees and eight, 15-gallon trees to be planted throughout the site which complies with the City's reforestation ordinance. The applicant is requesting the following: • Design review for a new, two-story single family dwelling and detached two-car garage (CS 25.57.010).
