CP noted the neighbor to the rear has requested a continuance of this item; neighbor was present and withdrew his request. CP Monroe reviewed details of the application, the previous request and city action, Commission/Council requests and guidelines for review when the previous application was denied without prejudice, staff review of the current proposal, Planning Department comment, Council�s recent adoption of an interim urgency ordinance regarding development on lots with a portion of creek on them (processing of this application is not affected by this ordinance), applicants� letter, comment from the neighbor to the rear, findings necessary for variance approval. Three conditions were suggested for consideration at the public hearing. If the first floor deck is denied and Commission wished to consider the existing second floor deck, one condition was suggested. CA commented that in view of Council�s action adopting the urgency ordinance Commission could use Council�s policy stated in this ordinance as one justification for denial if they felt it appropriate. y Chm. Jacobs opened the public hearing. Donald and Pamela Asplund, applicants, were present. Mr. Asplund�s comments: they have attempted to meet the concerns expressed about their previous application, the 176 SF portion of deck built on footings has been eliminated, the larger first floor deck and the smaller existing second floor deck have been retained, the proposed deck will be cantilevered from the house by steel beams, a long narrow deck would be too expensive because of the cost of supports, the current plans have been drawn by a civil engineer supported by a soils engineer, from the rear this deck will appear as a shelf. t� ��"�'; ii � �►-,:,. ,� :.�• »�. � . r �� � � � ..�� � . .at . `' � i rw' , ` �� • •�'h t "A Y� � Yi-4�. f�'" ,� `l: ` . . 3.

He tated they had seriously considg���d adding a second story but this presented several problems,�e family room needed to be on the s e level as the dining ro and kitchen, to add another bedroom stairs they would have to extend the existing structure to the ear anyway, placemeyi� of stairs would take additiona� space an present a hazar - to their young children, extension of the gara would take awa�rear yard play area for the children. He stated t ere is space,to park two cars, one in the existing garage and anot er parked ehind the gate; the lack of an additional covered space ould n create a visual impact; their neighbors have no objectio to he project. They would like an additional bedroom but if th ariance is not granted they can use the additional family room sp Responding to a Commissio r ques on about the sequence of events, Carol Gamble advised th had sol their previous home, they have two babies, they had a contractor re dy to go and needed to move, so decided to proce . In support the variance Mrs. Gamble noted there is a 14� long driveway wher cars can be parked behind the front setback�"�with this proposal the eighbor�s yard will not be shaded as wo '�d be the case with a secon story addition, there are exceptiona circumstances in the way the roperty is situated in relation t the neighbors. '� Paul Rott , architect, discussed the sequence of ents leading to the var�; nce application and the fact that th owners were committ�°d to a contractor and a time schedule; he fe$� there were exceptfonal circumstances in the existing house and it�.;. placement r«., on th'e lot; there are only two places for another garage s"tructure, Burlingame Planning Commission Minutes Page = rt � Nove:�:�;ar _.,;�`, 1988 o e in the front yard which would be detrime �al to the n ighborhood or adjacent to the present garage in th �`�middle of the ba kyard which would require demolishing the exis 'ing garage; if the existing garage were enlarged it would prohibi any addition to the ear of the house. Regarding a second story ddition, the city was iscussing second story regulations but here had been no ordin ce adopted at that time; additiona parking space is availa e in the driveway behind the front se�back and is permitted as an xception under the code. Respond"ing to a Commissioner question, architect advised most suburban;�areas require a two car garage fo � a single family home. .��` The followi g members of the audiencc�"`spoke. Ivor Morris, 1608 Ralston Aven e: he had no objectio � to the proposal. Michael Love, 325 Chap'n Lane: for the recor� he advised he did an informal survey on Chap � Lane and found �king requirements were met but none of his nei hbors park in t ir garages; he felt there were good reasons fo��, the regulatic�i� requiring two covered parking spaces but in this� instance wi�h the long driveway he would find for the applicants nd not re`quire more covered parking. There were no further a�ence comments and the public hearing was closed. t �r During Commission discu: the application for vari exceptional circumstancE �n there was concern expressed with how e evolved. C. Harrison found there were s outlined in the applicants� letter, the shape of the lot �nd 1 cation of the existing dwelling limit the addition of a t�o car arage or extension of the existing garage, the varian�,e is ne ssary for the preservation of a property right of he owners, 't would not be detrimental to the neighbors nor adve sely affect he zoning plan of the city since there is room to ark two or thre cars in the driveway behind the front setback. �' C. Harrison mo�fed for approval of th variance and for adoption of Commission �esolution Approving V, iance with the following condition: () that the project as bu� t shall be consistent with the plans bmitted to the Planning D artment and date stamped October 19 1988 and November 4, 1988. otion was seconded by C. H.Graham. In comm�nt on the motion C. Ellis stated`�his concern with the process; of the application but found th re were exceptional circum�stances in the narrow lot, the house s�its back on the lot whichitakes away area in the back which could k�i� used for a second garage; he would not want to see a garage put irr�.�the front even if the,�e is room; the house with its front door on he driveway side lititits putting anything in the front. Further co nt: there was a �me factor involved in the sequence of events; can ot support the �inotion because the house covers a lot of property, �.t will be a four bedroom, two bath house with family room on one level, 37$ lot
