Summary: An application for Design Review for a first and second story addition to a single family dwelling at 1800 Davis Drive was approved by the Planning Commission on November 26, 2007 (November 26, 2007 Planning Commission Meeting Minutes attached). A building permit was issued on May 29, 2008 and construction is underway. On February 26, 2009, the property owner submitted an FYI application for proposed changes to the side and rear elevations and the landscaping. The project was approved with a painted wood water table around the structure (at the level of the first story finished floor) with stone veneer below. The project was also approved with a stamped concrete patio and expanded grass lawn in the rear and five bay laurel trees in the right rear corner of the yard. The applicant is requesting to remove the stone veneer finish from the sides and rear of the stucture, along with the painted wood water table. The applicant would also like to leave the existing hardscape in the rear yard and plant two 24"-box size chinese flame trees instead of the approved 15-gallon bay laurels. The requested changes are shown on the originally approved and proposed elevations and landscape plan date-stamped February 26, 2009. No changes are proposed to the front elevation. Because the proposed revisions are on the side and rear of the structure, Planning staff determined that the project could be reviewed by the Commission as an FYI item. If the Commission feels there is a need for more study, this item may be placed on an action calendar for a second review and/or public hearing with direction to the applicant. Lisa Whitman Associate Planner Cc: Derex Louie, property owner 1800 Davis Drive Burlingame, CA 94010 ATTACHMENTS: Letter from Derex Louie, date-stamped February 26, 2009 Approval Letter, dated December 7, 2007 October 22, 2007 and November 26, 2007 Planning Commission Minutes Previously approved and proposed building elevations (left side, right side, and rear) and landscape plan, date-stamped February 26, 2009 February 25, 2009 Community Development Department 501 Primrose Road Burlingame, CA94010 To Whom It May Concern: _ r� '09 ?�AE This is Derex Louie, the owner of the property 1800 Davis Drive, Burlingame. I would first apologize for any inconvenience I would have caused. However, after repeatedly serious thought, I would like to propose two changes to the approved design: 1, stone veneer finish on the both sides and rear wall of the property and 2, landscaping of the backyard. Reasons: 1, Stone veneer finish on both sides and rear of the property A, Based on my understand, for the elevation of the house, neighbors may not be able to see the stones on both sides and rear of the property when they stand on Davis Drive. I will certainly keep the approved stone design in the front of the house and around the chimney. B, Owing to the economic crisis, increased costs of labors and materials, and my tight financial situation, I would really want to save money on the stone purchase. 2, Landscaping in the backyard A, I will have children and hope to keep the original concrete backyard for basketball and biking. B, Although the Commission requested landscaping along the side property line, a large tree in tlie neighbor's backyard, not previously shown on the plans, provides screening and privacy for the backyards. C, Since Mills-Peninsula Hospital will have its own landscape in the back of my house, I would like to have a smaller lawn (and keep the original size of the lawn) in order to have more open space in the backyard. It will also help conserve water use in the future. D, By minimizing the changes of the backyard, I would be able to save money for construction of the house.

Commission comments: • The side-yard fence should be pulled forward to new line on chimney. ■ Consider the possibility for a steeper roof pitch to unify roof design and make it look less than a mass added to a one-story house; less like a layer cake. ■ Consider an alternate species for the 24" Photinia; 15-gallon specimens of another species would be acceptable. ■ Suggested adding landscaping along the side of the residence. ■ Complimented the desigr. ■ Take into account landscaping along rear of the property; the adjacent to hospital site will be landscaped along the rear property line of the subject site. ■ Stone veneer shouid be wrapped around front af house. ■ Window pattern on the house is somewhat different from garage windows; make the pattern consistent. ■ Choose a non-deciduous tree to shield power pole at the rear of the property.
