Staff Comments:
The City Engineer notes in his July 21, 1997 memo that a property line survey is required. The
Chief Building Inspector notes that the storage area in the garage must meet 125 pounds per square
foot. The Fire Marshal had no comment on this project. Planning staff would note that there are
only four lots on this block, two of them are corner lots (one of the corner lots is used by a
church). The dwellings on the interior lots were both built with 41'-6" front setbacks. Staff
would also note that the garage back-up aisle is 22'-6". Staff has analyzed the maneuvers in and
out of the garage and has determined that the vehicle from the second stall can enter and exit from
the garage as code requires provided the garage door width is 18'-0".

a. Describe the exceptiona/ or extraordinary circumstances or conditions app/icab/e to your�
p�operty which do not app/y to other properties in this area.
Do any conditions exist �n the site which make other the alternatives to the variance impracticable or
impossible and a�e also not common to other properties in the area7 For example, is there a creek cuttinp
through the property, an exceptional tree specimen, steep terrain, odd lot shape or unusual placement of
existing structures7 How is this property different from others in the neighborhood?
b. Exp/ain why the variance request is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a
substantia/ property right and what unreasonab/e property /oss or unnecessary hardship
might resu/t from the denia/ of the app/ication.
Would you be unable to build a project similar to others in the area or neighborhood without the exception7
(i.e., having as much on-site parking or bedrooms7) Would you be unable to develop the site for the uses
allowed without the exception7 Do the requirements of the law place an unreasonable limitation or hardship
on the development of the property7
c. Exp/ain why the proposed use at the proposed /ocation wi// not be detrimenta/ or injurious
to property or improvements in the vicinity or to pub/ic hea/th, safety, genera/ we/fare, or
con venience.
How will the proposed structure or use within the structure affect neighboring properties or structures on those
propertiesl If neighboring properties will not be affected, state why. Think about traffic, noise, liphting,
paving, landscaping sunlight/shade, views from neighboring properties, ease of maintenance. Why will the
structure or use within the structure not affect the public's health, safety or peneral welfaret
Public health includes such things as sanitation (garbage), air quality, discharges into sewer and stormwater
systems, water supply safety, and things which have the potential to affect public health (i.e., under�round
storage tanks, storage of chemicals, situations which encourage the spread of rodents, insects or
communicable diseasesl.
Public safetv. How will the structure or use within the structure affect police or fire protection7 Will alarm
systems or sprinklers be installed7 Could the structure or use within the structure create a nuisance or need
for police services (i.e., noise, unruly gatherings, loitering, traffic) or fire services (i.e., storage or use
flammable o� hazardous materials, or potentially dangerous activities like welding, woodwork, engine �emoval).
General welfare is a catch-all phrase meaning community good. Is the proposal consistent with the city's
policy and goals for conservation and development7 Is there a social benefit7
Convenience. How would the proposed structure or use affect public convenience (such as access to or
parking for this site or adjacent sites)7 Is the proposal accessible to particular segments of the public such as
the elderly or handicapped7
d. How wi// the proposed project be compatib/e with the aesthetics, mass, bu/k and character
of the existing and potentia/ uses on adjoining p�operties in the genera/ vicinityT
How does the proposed structure or use compare aesthetically with existing neighborhood7 If it does not
affect aesthetics, state why. If chanpes to the structure are proposed, was the addition designed to match
existin� architecture or pattern of development on adjacent properties in the neighborhood? If use will affect
the way a neighborhood/area looks, compare your proposal to othe� uses in the area and explain why it "fits".
How does the proposed structure compare to neighborin� structures in terms of mass or bulkl If there is no
change to structure, say so. If a new structure is proposed, compare its size, appearance, orientation etc. with
other st�uctures in the neighborhood or area.
How will the structure or use within the structure change the character of the neighborhoodl Think of
character as the image or tone established by size, density of development and general pattern of land use.
Will there be more traffic or less parking available resulting from this use7 If you don't feel the character of
the neighborhood will change, state why.
How will the proposed project be compatible with existing and potential uses in the fleneral vicinity? Compare
your project with existing uses. State why you feel your project is consistent with other uses in the vicinity,
and/or state why your project would be consistent with potential uses in the vicinity. ,sroz�.,.,,,,,

ANSWERS TO QUESTIOl�1S A,B,C & D.
A. The subject property has an exceptional circumstance in that our property is one af
only 4 properties vn this small block The most easterly �roperty has a church
with a setback of 14'-0". The property adjoining has in the most forward location
a garage which is located �l'-6'" from the property line_ The structures appear to
be very old and in poor conditian. To the west there is only one property which
fronts anto Stanley Road and is 15'-0" from the property line_ Therefore the
average setback is 23'-6" due to the one property which has an exceptionally lc�ng
front setback
Additionally the property is only 46' wide and therefore with our desire to build a
small Queen Anne style home with a detached garage in the rear makes it
necessary to move the house closer to the front praperty line than the average of
the block.
B. It is our desire to piace the garage at the rear of the property and to create a
Queen Anne style home with a front facade which offers a"small" appearance
from the street. Due to the length of the lot there is not enough room to have the
rear garage, the required baekup and the house without moving closer to the front.
property line. This will place the covered porch at 15'-Q" from the front property
line and the dwelling at 21'-0" from the front property line. 'The front parch is
open at all sides and is no closer to the property line than the church and the other
corner property.
To com�ly with the average of the block would place an undue hardship onta
development of the property and would cause an unreasonable praperty loss.
C. This is a new home, built much smaller than the ma�mum, with a two car garage
at the rear, instead of on the street, with larger than usual side setbacks and a style
which will fit the character of the nei�hborhood. The new home will be an
improvement to the neighborhood and will enhance the general welfare of the
vicinity and will not be detrimental to the public health, safety general welfare or
convenience.
D. Our home will be compatible with the neighborhaad for the follawing reasons.
l. Our horne will be much smaller than what is allowed.
2. will ha�e a two car garage (as required by code) set in the rear corner of
the property.
3. offers a front facade which will not create a bulky appearance.
4. is set back 6' on the ri�;ht side where orily 4' is required
5. is set back 14' on the left side where only 4' is required
6. is on a small block where 2 out of 3 praperties has a 15' front setback
Al`�tSWERS TO QUESTIONS A,B,C & D
HEIGHT VARIANCE
A. The subject prQperty is smaller than usual in that in is only 46' x l03'. This is a
project which has exceptional circumstances. In an attempt ta provide an
aesthetically pleasing period home we have gone to �-eat extent. 1%Ve have done
the follawing.
1_ Placed the garage at the rear to reduce the bulk as seen from the street.
2. Increased setbacks
LF.FT SIDE-setback will be 14'-0" where 4'-d" is the minimum for
the building and where 10'-0" is the minimum for a driveway. This
has dramatically decreased the allowable building area.
RIGHT S1DE-setback wil) be 6'-0° where 4'-0" is the minimum.
3. We have designed the house with a reduced height of the finished
floar as it relates to the surrounding grade. This reduces the overall height
and the variance request. A traditional proportion would have dictated a
higher floor.
4. The raof pitch has been reduced from a more traditional slope of 12/12
(45degrees} to 9 1/2 in 12 (38 degrees}_ A further reduction in roof slope
would jeopardize �he visual proportions necessary for the style of house.
(Queen Anne). This has reduced the overall height and the variance
request.
5. E�erior details ha�e been added to enhance the facade.
6. A laxge front covered porch is a part of the project. This helps to provide a
buffer between the home and the street while providing an inviting element.
S. Without the variance we will be required to dramatically aiter the traditional
propartiana required of the Queen Anne style, therefore placing the design and the
project in jeopardy. The height of the building with its steep roof is a direct
reflection of the house width. Our praposed house is only 2C' wide instead of the
possible 38'.
C. In a climate af prafit where we seldom see a period design we ha�e a chance to
build something that brings back some of the architecture of the past. The new
house will be much smaller than the maximum, will have much greater setbacks
than the minimums, will ha�e the garage set to the rear, and will offer a wide front
porch. This project will be a gem in the neighborhood and certainly will not be
detrimental.
D. "I'he proposed house will be smaller than many house in the neighborhood, will
place its twc� car garage in the rear, and will offer increased setbacks_ It will be of
a style that will fit nicely with the neighborhood.

SPECIAL PERMIT APPLICATION
It is our desire to place the double doors located at and centered on the side of
the garage 8'-6" away from the property line. This is less than the required 10'-0"
We are asking for this location because we want the garage to match the style of
the house instead of a plain recta.ngular structure. This is why we have added the
trellis, the double doors, the gable raof above with "fishscale" shingles and
centered it all on the side. Our proposal will not be detrirnental to the adjoirting
properties but instead will give the neighborhood a quality garage.

Chief Building Inspector notes that the storage area in the garage must meet 125 pounds per square
foot. The Fire Marshal had no comment on this project. Planning staff would note that there are
only four lots on this block, two of them are corner lots (one of the corner lots is used by a
church). The dwellings on the interior lots were both built with 41'-6" front setbacks. Staff
would also note that the garage back-up aisle is 22'-6". Staff has analyzed the maneuvers in and
out of the garage and has determined that the vehicle from the second stall can enter and exit from
the garage as code requires provided the garage door width is 18'-0".

VARIANCE APPLICATION
ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS A,B,C & D.
A. The subject property has an exceptional circumstance in that our property is one of
only 4 properties on this small block. The most easterly property has a church
with a setback of 14'-a". The property adjoining has in the most forward location
a garage which is located 41'-6" from the property line. The structures appear to
be very old and in poor condition. To the west there is only one property which
fronts anto Stanley Road and is 15'-0" from the property line. Therefore the
average setback is 23'-6" due to the one property which has an exceptionally long
front setback
Additionally the property is only 46' wide and therefore with our desire to build a
small Queen Anne style home with a detached garage in the rear makes it
necessary to move the hause closer to the front property line than the average of
the block.
B. It is our desire to place the garage at the rear of the property and to create a
Queen Anne style home with a front facade which offers a"small" appearance
from the street. Due to the length of the lot there is not enough room to have the
rear garage, the required backup and the house without moving closer to the front
property line. This will place the covered porch at 15'-0" from the front property
line and the dwelling at 21'-0" from the front property line. The front porch is
open at all sides and is no closer to the property line than the church and the other
corner property.
To comply with the average of the block would place an undue hardship onto
develapment of the property and would cause an unreasonable property loss.
C. This is a new home, built much smaller than the maximum, with a two car garage
at the rear, instead of on the street, with larger than usual side setbacks and a style
which will fit the character of the neighborhood. The new home will be an
improvement to the neighborhood and will enhance the general welfare of the
vicinity and will not be detrimental to the public health, safety general welfare or
convenience.
D. Our home will be compatible with the neighborhood for the following reasons.
1. Our home will be much smaller than what is allowed.
2. will have a two car garage (as required by code) set in the rear corner of
the property.
3. oi�ers a front facade which will not create a bulky appearance.
4. is set back 6' on the right side where only 4' is required
5_ is set back 14' on the left side where only 4' is required
6. is on a small block where 2 out of 3 properties has a 15' front setback
ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS A,B,C & D
HEIGHT VARIANCE
A. The subject property is smaller than usual in that in is only 4b' x 103'_ This is a
project which has exceptional circumstances. In an attempt to provide an
aesthetically pleasing period home we have gone to great e�ent. We have done
the following.
1. Placed the garage at the rear to reduce the bulk as seen from the street.
2. Increased setbacks
LEFT SIDE-setback will be 14'-0" where 4'-0" is the minimum for
the building and where 10'-0" is the minimum for a driveway_ This
has dramatically decreased the allowable building area.
RIGHT SIDE-setback will be 6'-0" where 4'-0" is the minimum.
3. We have designed the house with a reduced height of the finished
floor as it relates to the surrounding grade. This reduces the overall height
and the variance request. A traditional proportion would have dictated a
higher floor.
4. The roof pitch has been reduced from a more traditional slope of 12 /12
(45degrees} to 9 1/2 in 12 (38 degrees). A further reduction in raof slope
would jeopardize the visual proportions necessary for the style of house.
(Queen Anne). This has reduced the overall height and the variance
request.
S. Exterior details have been added to enhance the facade.
6. A large front covered porch is a part of the project. This helps to provide a
bu�er between the home and the street v�hile providing an inviting element.
B. Without the variance we will be required to dramatically alter the traditional
proportions required of the Queen Anne style, therefore placing the design and the
project in jeopardy. The height of the building with its steep roof is a direct
reflection of the house width. Our proposed house is only 26' wide instead of the
possible 38'.
C. In a climate of profit where we seldom see a period design we have a chance to
build something that brings back some of the architecture of the past. The new
house will be much smaller than the maximum, will have much greater setbacks
than the minimums, will have the garage set to the rear, and will offer a wide front
parch. This project will be a gem in the neighbarhood and certainly will not be
detrimental.
D. The proposed house wi11 be smaller than many house in the neighborhood, will
place its two car garage in the rear, and will offer increased setbacks_ It will be of
a style that will fit nicely with the neighborhood.

CITY OF BURLINGAME
SPECIAL PERMIT APPLICA:I'ION
It is our desire to place the double doors located at and centered on the side of
the garage 8'-6" away from the property line. This is less than the required 10'-0".
We are asking for this location because we want the garage to match the style of
the house instead of a plain rectangular structure. This is why we have added the
trellis, the double doors, the gable roof above with "fishscale" shingles and
centered it a11 on the side. Our proposal will not be detrimental to the adjoining
properties but instead will give the neighborhood a quality garage.
