Applicant and Designer: Tim Raduenz, Form + One Design APN: 026-182-250 Property Owner: 1110 Bernal LLC Zoning: R-1 General Plan: Low Density Residential Existing Parcel Area: 15,009 SF Proposed Parcel Area (Lot 16/ 1110 Bernal Ave.): 7,504 SF Proposed Parcel Area (Lot 17/ 1112 Bernal Ave.): 7,504 SF Environmental Review Status: The project is Categorically Exempt from review pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), per Section 15303 (a) of the CEQA Guidelines, which states that construction of a limited number of new, small facilities or structures, including one single-family residence, or a second dwelling unit in a residential zone, is exempt from environmental review. In urbanized areas, this exemption may be applied to the construction or conversion of up to three (3) single-family residences as part of a project. Project History: An application for Design Review for an addition to the existing house on the existing property was reviewed by the Planning Commission as a Design Review Study item on August 10, 2020. The project included a major addition to the existing house, a new detached garage, and an Accessory Dwelling Unit. The Commission referred the project to a Design Review Consultant. After meeting with the Design Review Consultant, the owners determined that they wanted to sell the property. The current application, submitted by the new owner in January 2021, proposes to demolish all of the existing structures on the site and to create two new parcels with a new house on each parcel. Site Description: The subject site is an interior property with a single family dwelling, a detached garage, a detached accessory dwelling unit, cabana, and in-ground pool that spans two and half lots. There is a ten-foot public right-of-way at the rear of the site. The applicant proposes to demolish all of the existing structures on the site, to create two equal lots from the existing two and a half lots, and to build a new two-story single family dwelling and detached garage on each of the two new lots. Code Section 25.26.030(e) requires a Conditional Use Permit application for the demolition of a residential structure or an accessory structure thereto, which structure is built over or across two (2) or more legally subdivided lots, and the construction of a structure upon one or more of said lots. The applicant has submitted the required Conditional Use Permit form for the proposed demolition. The two proposed new lots would each measure 7,504 SF (62.50' x 120.07') in area; both lots meet the minimum required lot size of 5,000 SF and the minimum required street frontage of 50 linear feet. Proposed Lot 16 on the right side would have an address of 1110 Bernal Avenue and proposed Lot 17 on the left side would have the address of 1112 Bernal Avenue. Two new driveway aprons at the right side of each lot are proposed to access the proposed detached garages on each lot (the existing single driveway apron would be eliminated). Two new street trees are required to be planted in front of each new lot, for a total of four new street trees. The applicant has selected the Chinese Pistache species from the City's approved street tree list. There is one protected size Redwood tree (35.5-inch diameter) at the rear of the property for proposed Lot 16 at Design Review, Conditional Use Permit, Lot Combination 1110 and 1112 Berna/ Avenue and Tentative Parcel Map 1110 Bernal Avenue. The applicant obtained an approved Protected Tree Removal Permit (effective April 28, 2021) form the Parks Division for the removal of the Redwood tree based on the existing exposed roots and the proximity of the proposed detached garage at 1112 Bernal Avenue to the trunk of the Redwood tree. Lot 16 at 1110 Bernal Avenue would have a total of four landscape trees and Lot 17 at 1112 Bernal Avenue would have a total of seven landscape trees. Each lot would also have additional 15-gallon screening shrubs along the side and rear property lines. The proposed new landscape trees on each lot meet the code requirements. 1110 Bernal Avenue (Lot 16): The applicant is proposing a new, two-story single family dwelling and detached garage on the new lot at the right side of the existing site. The proposed house will total 3,891 SF (0.52 FAR) where 3,897 SF (0.52 FAR) is the maximum allowed. There will be a total of five bedrooms in the proposed main dwelling. A total of three on-site parking spaces are required, two of which must be covered. The detached garage provides two covered parking spaces (20'-3" x 20'-2" clear interior dimensions) and an uncovered parking space (9' x 20') is provided in the driveway leading to the garage. 1112 Bernal Avenue (Lot 17): The applicant is proposing a new, two-story single family dwelling and detached garage on the new lot at the left side of the existing site. The proposed house will total 3,900 SF (0.52 FAR) where 3,901 SF (0.52 FAR) is the maximum allowed. There will be a total of five bedrooms in the proposed main dwelling. A total of three on-site parking spaces are required, two of which must be covered. The detached garage provides two covered parking spaces (20' x 20' clear interior dimensions) and an uncovered parking space (9' x 20') is provided in the driveway leading to the garage. The applicant is requesting the following applications: ■ Design Review for two new, two-story single family dwellings and detached garages (C.S. 25.57.010); ■ Conditional Use Permit for demolition of a residential structure or accessory structure thereto which is built over two or more legally subdivided lots (C.S.25.26.030 (e)); and ■ Lot Combination and Tentative Parcel Map to create two parcels (recommendation to City Council) 1110 Bernal Avenue (Lot 16) Lot Area: 7,504 SF _ Plans date stamped: April 20, 2021 PREVIOUS PROPOSAL SETBACKS Front (15t flr): �Znd fl►'): Side (left): (right): Rear (15r flr): (2nd flr): CURRENT PROPOSAL APRIL 20, 2021 PLANS No change No change No change 10'-9" No change 44'-6" 2,364 SF 32% ALLOWED/ REQUIRED _ ................................................. ................................................... 18'-7" (block average) 20'-0" 7'-0" 7'-0„ 15'-0" 20'-0" _ _ .... ....... ......... _.. .................................................. 3,002 SF 40% Lot Coverage: 20'-0" 24'-6" 7'-0„ 10'-0" 48'-0" 49'-6" 2,303 SF 31% -2- Design Review, Conditional Use Permit, Lot Combination and Tentative Parce/ Map PREVIOUS � CURRENT PROPOSAL PROPOSAL APRIL 20, 2021 PLANS FAR: 3,777 SF 3,891 SF 0.50 FAR 0.52 FAR # of bedrooms: 5 No change ___ ........._._ .............._..................... ..........................................................................................._.............................................. �..................................__...__ ............._........................._..................... ._.................

Where discrepancies occurred, Planning Staff utilized scaled dimensions from the designer's plans. Staff also notes that the landscape information shown on the Site Plans on Sheets A1.0 for both properties is different from that shown on the Landscape Plans on Sheets L1.0. The information in this staff report reflects what is detailed on the Landscape Plan. Design Review Study Meeting: At the Planning Commission Design Review study meeting on March 22, 2021, the Commission had comments regarding the design for both proposed houses for this project and voted to place this item on the Regular Action Calendar when all information has been submitted and reviewed by the Planning Division (see attached March 22, 2021 Planning Commission Minutes). The applicant submitted a response letter and revised plans, date stamped April 20, 2021, to address the Planning Commission's questions and comments. Please refer to the March 22, 2021, Planning Commission minutes included in the staff report for the full list of Planning Commission questions and comments. Listed below is a summary of the Commission's comments and the revisions made by the applicant. 1110 Bernal Avenue (Lot 16) 1. The protected tree removal issue should be resolved with the Parks Division. The applicant submitted an Arborist Report to the Parks Division (see attached Arborist Report, prepared by Kielty Arborist Services LLC, dated March 18, 2021). The design of Lot 17 (1112 Bernal Avenue) was revised to move the detached garage to the right side of the lot, closer to the base of the Protected Size Redwood tree on Lot 16 (1110 Bernal Avenue). The impact of the new location for the garage combined with the existing root structure of the Redwood tree led to the Parks Division issuing a Protected Tree Removal Permit effective April 20, 2021 (see attachments) for the Redwood tree. 2. There are potential issues with the window in Bathroom #4 on the second floor and Bathroom #1 on the first floor. • Comment not addressed in the applicant's response letter, but Commission should refer to the revised plans, date stamped April 20, 2021. � Design Review, Conditional Use Permit, Lot Combination and Tentative Parcel Map 1110 and 1112 Berna/ Avenue 3. The massing of fhis design is a concern because it is basically a two story box adorned with a few Dutch Colonial features and a big flat portion on the roof. The applicanf should investigate adding more true Dufch Colonial details, reducing the p/afe height on the upper floor, and adding more pop outs for added articulation along the elevations. � Comment not addressed in detail in the applicant's response letter, but Commission should refer to the revised plans. Planning staff noted the following: 1. No change to the proposed plate heights. 2. No change to the proposed roof height and flat element at the top of the roof. 3. Deeper pop-outs were created at the second floor rear elevation in the master bedroom and bathroom, creating a more defined enclosures, an overhang with corbels, and changes to the roofline in that area. The recessed portion at the laundry room on the right side first floor elevation was increased in depth. 4. The number of folding glass doors on the rear elevation was reduced. 4, The house next door at the right side (1908 Carmelita Avenue) is very c/ose the shared propertyline. ls there an opportunity for landscaping screen at this side by shifting the house a bit to the left of the lot? (a/so see Public Comment submitted March 22, 2021 in atfachments). � This comment was not specifically addressed in the applicant's response letter. Staff notes that the right side setback to the house has not changed, however the landscape plan on sheet L1.0 shows a row of 17 five-gallon English Laurels to be planted along the right side property line. 1112 Bernal Avenue (Lot 17) 1. The proposed driveway at the /eff side of the /ot breaks with the pattern in the neighborhood. � The applicant has revised the design of Lot 17 to provide a driveway and detached garage at the right side of Lot 17. Additional landscape screening was added along the left side property line and the rear property line to reduce the potential impacts to the neighbors at the north side of the site. 2. Design seems very flat and monochromatic. Definition could be enhanced with material changes and more pop outs for added definition. • Refer to the applicant's response letter for a general discussion of the changes made, which include cedar gable vents and window trim for some windows, as well as metal-clad porch columns. The footprint of the house was flipped to accommodate the new driveway location at the right side, but otherwise no revisions to the exterior dimensions of the first or second floors are noted by the applicant. 3. The second floor window are ta//er than those on the first floor and seem out of proportion, giving the feel of a large forehead for the proposed design. � This comment was not specifically addressed in the applicant's response letter. Refer to the plans to view changes to the first and second floor windows on all elevations. 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: Compatibility of the architectural style with that of the existing character of the neighborhood; 2. Respect for the parking and garage patterns in the neighborhood; -5- Design Review, Conditional Use Permit, Lot Combination and Tentative Parcel Map 3. Architectural style and mass and bulk of structure; 1110 and 1112 Berna/ Avenue 4. Interface of the proposed structure with the structures on adjacent properties; and 5. Landscaping and its proportion to mass and bulk of structural components. Suggested Findings for Design Review: That at the March 22, 2021 Design Review study meeting the Planning Commission noted that the proposed two-story single family houses with detached garages match the existing pattern in the neighborhood; that the proposed architectural styles of the houses, as well as the the proposed heights and setbacks are varied which will reduce the impact of two new houses on the street; that the proposed traditional architectural elements and details, such as covered front porches, aluminum clad windows with simulated true divided lites, and cedar shingles or cedar siding with mitered corners will complement the existing architectural styles in the neighborhood; and that the proposed detached garages with right side driveways reflect the parking pattern in the neighborhood. For these reasons, the project may be found to be compatible with the requirements of the City's five design review criteria. Required Findings for a Conditional Use Permit: In order to grant a Conditional Use Permit, the Planning Commission must find that the following conditions exist on the property (Code Section 25.52.020, a-c): (a) The proposed use, at the proposed location, will not be detrimental or injurious to property or improvements in the vicinity and will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, general welfare or convenience; (b) The proposed use will be located and conducted in a manner in accord with the Burlingame general plan and the purposes of this title; (c) The planning commission may impose such reasonable conditions or restrictions as it deems necessary to secure the purposes of this title and to assure operation of the use in a manner compatible with the aesthetics, mass, bulk and character of existing and potential uses on adjoining properties in the general vicinity. Suggested Conditional Use Permit Findings: That the proposed lots meet the minimum street frontage and lot size requirements and have a similar configuration and size to other lots in the neighborhood; and that the proposed residential uses on the new lots are consistent with the zoning designation and with the existing uses in the area. For these reasons, the project may be found to be compatible with the requirements of the City's Conditional Use Permit criteria. Planning Commission Action: The Planning Commission should conduct a public hearing on the application, and consider public testimony and the analysis contained within the staff report. Action should include specific findings supporting the Planning Commission's decision, and should be affirmed by resolution of the Planning Commission. The reasons for any action should be stated clearly for the record. At the public hearing the following conditions should be considered: that the project shall be built as shown on the plans submitted to the Planning Division and date stamped April 20, 2021, sheets A1.0 through A9.0, L1.0 through L2.5, and Boundary and Topographic Survey dated October 29, 2020 for Lot 16, 1110 Bernal Avenue; and date stamped April 20, 2021, sheets A1.0 through A9.0, L1.0 through L2.5, and Boundary and Topographic Survey dated October 29, 2020 for Lot 17, 1112 Bernal Avenue; 2. that any changes to building materials, exterior finishes, windows, architectural features, roof height or pitch, and amount or type of hardscape materials shall be subject to Planning Division or Planning Commission review (FYI or amendment to be determined by Planning staffl; � Design Review, Conditional Use Permit, Lot Combination 1110 and 1112 Bernal Avenue and Tentative Parcel Map 3. that any changes to the size or envelope of the basement, first or second floors, or garage, which would include adding or enlarging a dormer(s), shall require an amendment to this permit; 4. that any recycling containers, debris boxes or dumpsters for the construction project shall be placed upon the private property, if feasible, as determined by the Community Development Director; 5. that demolition for removal of the existing structures and any grading or earth moving on the site shall not occur until a building permit has been issued and such site work shall be required to comply with all the regulations of the Bay Area Air Quality Management District; 6. that prior to issuance of a building permit for construction of the project, the project construction plans shall be modified to include a cover sheet listing all conditions of approval adopted by the Planning Commission, or City Council on appeal; which shall remain a part of all sets of approved plans throughout the construction process.

(Tim Raduenz, Designer, Form + One Design; 1110 Bernal, LLC, property owner) (117 noticed) Staff Contact: Erika Lewit All Commissioners have visited the project site. There were no ex-parte communications to report. Planning Manager Hurin provrded an overview of the sfaff report. Quesfions of staff.• > Clarification in regards to the Redwood tree in the back left corner of fhe lot that is going to be removed on what will become the 1110 Bernal Avenue address lot. It seems like that Redwood free has nofhing to do with fhis project. However the staff report states "until staff and Planning Commission can evaluate the removal of the Redwood tree, it cannot be determined if landscape replacement trees are required or proposed." What purview do we have over the removal of thaf Redwood tree if it's not in the footprint of the new garage or house? (Hurin: It's an existing Redwood tree that's at the back of the lot on the right side which is 1110 Bernal Avenue. They have submitted for a Tree Removal Permit, but a certified arborist report hasn't been submitted yet. Once we receive the report, the City Arborist will then review the findings or recommendations in the report and make a determination as to whether or not that tree can be removed. If it can be removed, then there may be additional landscape frees thaf would be required to be planted. IYs not necessarily under fhe purview of the Planning Commission. Only in that if there are new landscape trees required, it can be a part of the new landscape plan you'll be reviewing.) So, the City Arborist isn't waiting for us to opine on the project to determine if the tree can be removed, but whether new landscape is required if he grants approval of the report? (Hurin: ThaYs correct. Before this comes back to you for action, we want to make sure the arborist report is received and the City Arborist reviewed that report. If any additional /andscape trees are required, they'll be factored into fhe landscape plan.) > The proposed house at 1110 Bernal Avenue has what seems to me five bedrooms, however the staff report says it has four bedrooms, can you a/so clarify that? (Hurin: I think if's the other way around. 1110 Bernal Avenue has four bedrooms and 1112 Bernal Avenue has five bedrooms.) ThaYs what it says in the staff report, but I counted five bedrooms at 1110 Bernal Avenue. (Hurin: 1 can take a/ook at the floor plans to confirm the number of bedrooms.) Thank you. Just a minor clarification, but if affects the garage. Chair Tse opened the public hearing. Tim Raduenz, Form + One Design, represented the applicant with fhe property owner Patrick Gilson. Commission Questions/Comments: > (Gilson: An arborist report was submitted to the City on March 18th. It details the health and safety of the tree.) > What's the fhinking behind breaking the driveway pattern of the sfreet? I didn't noticed it at the time, City ofBurlingame page 1 Prinied on 5/5/2021 Planning Commission Meeting Minutes March 22, 2021 but 1112 Bernal Avenue would be fhe only driveway on the block that is on the left side of fhe house facing the house. WhaYs the thinking there? (Gilson: The thinking on my end was to give space between 1116 Bemal Avenue and this development. There's space for planting mature trees, but given the fact they have been there for that long, I felt like they deseived thaf. To have these two homes play wifh each other as far as fhe landscape design and just to separate whaYs existing and what's being proposed.) (Raduenz: We created the Dutch Colonial style to have these kind of little secret gardens and 1 think that works well. That would be why we did the north side driveway.) > (Raduenz.� Bofh homes have five bedrooms.) Thank you. 1 definitely counted five bedrooms. > In bathroom #4 at 1110 Bernal Avenue, you have the wall of the bathroom intersecting the middle window facing the street. It looks like you're trying to tie the wall into the mullion. (Raduenz: IYs a big mullion. Correct.) Is that the plan, as opposed to modifying the floor plan? I'm afraid you couldn't see it from the street. (Raduenz: I can take a look at it.) > Looking at the height of the window proposed for bathroom #1 against the vanrty, it looks like you don't have any space to put a mirror above the vanity. I don't know if you wanted to take a look at that again. (Raduenz: I will.) > For 1112 Bernal Avenue, there's a clipped window at the master bathroom on the side elevation. If you can look at that more closely, it's on sheet A.3.1. IYs something 1'm sure you can adjust, raise the sill or something. If's looking like it's intersecting with the roof. (Raduenz: We could, instead of doing a 4'-6" window, we can do a 4' window and give us more breathing room.) Yes, maybe match the window to the right of the chimney. > On fhe rear elevation, the windows up above look heavy over the windows below on the left side of the rear elevation. I'm not sure if fhat's the master bedroom on the second floor? (Raduenz: ThaYs the master bedroom, correct.) It seems to have some heaviness there. I don't know if you can balance out the window shapes or sizes. The upper floor looks taller than the lower floor. This is more a comment than a question, but 1 wanted to note fhat for consideration. (Raduenz: We'll look into it. If does have a vaulted ceiling, so we're trying to create open space up there, but we can look into what we can do to lighten the design a little bit. I kind of understand what you're saying.) > In looking at the materials for 1112 Bernal Avenue, my understanding that the �ndsor One siding has both a smooth side and textured side. Is the horizontal siding going to be smooth or textured? (Raduenz: We are thinking it's going to be textured.) Does that require a corner board or can it can be mitered? (Raduenz: We're designing it to be mitered and we are going to hopefully stay with that. We can confirm thaf before the next meeting. ln my past projects, 1 don't like doing corner boards. That's what we're trying to do, we're doing a mitered corner.) Please verify if mitering is possible with that particular material or not before this project comes back. (Raduenz: IYs mitered.) Public Comments: > Comment sent via e-mail and chat from Gai! Mosse: Could a tree screen be maintained between the new house on the right and the immediate house to the righi on the corner of Bernal Avenue and Carmelita Avenue? We heard a tree screen was included fo the north side of the left house as a courtesy to the neighbors, and they have resided there for 60 years, but it seems that courtesy should be extended to the northern neighbors too even though they just moved in. Arguably, it's more jusfified because the houses are closer together. (Raduenz: If you can send me the e-mail, I'll correspond with the neighbor, but we will definitely have some tree screening there. We will respond to the neighbor and make sure that they are happy.) Chair Tse closed the public hearing. Commission Discussion/Direction: > On 1112 Bernal Avenue, it feels like the front elevation is pretty flat given the materials; it seems monochromatic as far as the upper and lower floors are concerned. There is not a lot of definition to it. 1 saw a few modern farmhouses, there were a few with some material pop outs and changes, not just all white. There were also a couple that were all white and they looked flat too. Buf there's an opportunity to City of BurlJngame peye y Printed on 5/5/2021 Planning Commission Meeting Minutes March 22, 2021 pop out that upper window with a little material change going to something that actually is darker and giving it some contrast. The 1110 Bernal Avenue has so much more character to it. This one is coming off as modern flat. I would like to see a little more to go with that. Looking at the rear e/evation, I agree with the canopy and the big windows. If really looks like if's bottom heavy and out of proportion. > I generally like the buildings a lot. My fellow Commissioner is right, there's an opportunity on 1112 Bernal Avenue. The one fhing I'm uneasy about is the breaking of the spatial pattem of fhe neighborhood . Stylistically, we have a lot more flexibility with changes in sfyle in the neighborhood than we do spatial characteristics and thaf's why we have such discussions about attached garages versus detached garages. The driveway pattern is one of the things that's specifically called out in the guidelines, so I had real angst about that. The buildings are nice fhough. > Programmatically, taking this whole property and splitting it into two is a good effort. It will help with the scale on the street, particularly at this end. I do have some concerns about the massing at the 1110 Bernal Avenue property which was described by the designer as Dutch colonial architecture, but 1'm not seeing a Dutch Colonial style. The house is 44-1/2' wide and it has a big flat roof on top. When I hear Dutch Colonial architecture, I think of the gambrel roof, a true gambrel form. When we come to the side of this house, iYs a two-story box that had some dormers added to the front. Otherwise, those second story walls are tilted a little bif to angle like a gambrel roof, but they are really trims added on and span between two structured gambrels across the top as you see on the other elevations. So I'm having some concerns, particularly when you look at the fact that you have a 9-1/2' plate height and 9'-2" plate height on the second floor. IYs a wider lot, but you're taking that mass and take two stories straight up and adorn them with gambrel trims and slanted facades. I'm reminded of some of the projects that have come before us that are a newer Craftsman sfyle house, large sweeping roof with second floor tucked under dormers, but the dormers are stretched out all the way to the front elevation and the side e/evations. We then end up with a Craftsman roof fhat is just composed of overhangs and trims along the side of whaf is a fwo-story structure. I'm a little uneasy about the massing of the structure at 1110 Bernal Avenue. I'm not sure if I can make that particular finding in terms of the design review for mass and bulk. > In regards to 1112 Bernal Avenue, it is massed nicely. It has good sca/e and the roof finishes itself off nicely. I do agree with my fellow Commissioner that it lacks adornment. Particularly, if you look at that second floor peak, it has a big forehead above that second floor roof with very little articulation. So maybe iYs trying to be a modern interprefation of a farmhouse, but iPs slammed up against what is a heavily detailed trying to be Dutch Colonial architecture. Not that the two have to marry or even relate, but to have this amount of stripped down detail next to that one that has a lot of detail fo hide a two -story box, 1'm uneasy about where we're at with these two projects. > I would echo my fellow Commissioners' opinions on this. I have been sitting back hearing what everyone else thought. On the 1110 Bernal Avenue project, I never thought that putting a big flat roof in the middle of a house is a good way to solve fhe issues of massing and what we're trying fo do on the second floor is break it up a little bit. It appears very flat and boxy as my fellow Commissioner said. 1'm uneasy about that. The other house can use a Irttle bit more detail and pay more attention to that detail. I would like to see some of the missing parts added to the plans that are noted in the sfaff report about the average top of curb being incorrect and the declining height envelope for both sides, as well as the arborist report in the next round. > I agree with my fellow Commissioner. I would like the applicant to look at fhe driveway patfern again before it comes back. �th the way the existing driveways are situated, there's a lot of space to the right of 1116 Bernal Avenue thaf could be used to space there. IYs hard to tell during my site visit and it looks like there may be an existing screening on 1116 Bernal Avenue that would help with the separation there. If the driveway was flipped to the other side, then the house at 1110 Bernal Avenue could be shifted over a little bit to the left and allow for more screening to the house on the corner of Carmelita Avenue. Because thaPs a corner house, there's very little setback behveen 1110 Bernal Avenue and that house, so some additional attention could be placed there with screening. 1 know the applicant said they're going to work with that neighbor which is great. Commissioner Sargent made a motion, seconded by Chair Tse, to place the item on the Regular Action Calendar when the application has been revised as directed.

RESPONSE: Acknowledged comment, we did take your suggestion and flipped the home + driveway... it helps us for the overall design as we will get more south facing views and the neighbor at 1110 (same development) will be farther away. Our feedback from neighbor: the neighbor to the north was not happy... but understands the concerns of the board. Again, we had done a great job with neighborhood outreach, we sent letters and plans and the ones who reached out to us before planning commission were heard. Comment 2: Window at rear elevation: Master Bedroom Area RESPONSE: Acknowledged comment, we did take your comments and re-designed the window to be more slender and smaller than originally shown, this helps with the boxy/flat effect that was mentioned during the meeting. The master does have a vaulted ceiling, so we wanted to take advantage of the height and do a higher unit. This unit will have auto shades on the interior for privacy of both the neighbors and the new owners. It is also far away from any neighboring homes sight lines. Comment 3: Adding more details to the overall design. RESPONSE: Acknowledged comment, we did take your comments and re-designed some parts of the exterior design, we added a more detailed gable detail at the front elevation, added some more detailed work at the front columns (metal) cladding so that is incorporated around the design like the metal awning overhang at the rear. We also clarified by adding notes to confirm that the siding will be mitered as already shown on the elevations, the Simple good qualiry materials show for themselves and that will create the simple clean lines we are trying to achieve with this project.

I do thing this original concept is quite nice but yes it did need some more design brought into it. Comment 2: landscaping at driveway + neighborhood review RESPONSE: Acknowledged comment, we added the privacy screening into the landscape plan, sorry we didn't have it on the first review, but again we would have had it added the second go around. We have reached out with the neighbors and everyone seems to be satisfied, they (the neighbors) are happy to have the driveway on their side as their existing home is really close to the lot line. Comment 3: Tree removal permit updated + reviewed. RESPONSE: Acknowledged comment, we did update Bob Disco with the added arborist report, to help him make a determination on the removal of the tree, we are working with Bob to get his feedback on this and planning will update you with the latest updates. As for the re-design of the 1112 Bernal, we were instructed to move the garage to the south lot line this will more impact the (existing) redwood trees root system (the tree we are asking for removal o�, hence we believe it's the only safe option, to remove the redwood and plant more city scape trees in its replacement. � Tim Raduenz — CGBP � Build It GREEN�M MEMBER Form + One • Design & Planning • 4843 Silver Springs Drive• Park City • UT • 84098 •(ais) 819.0304 • tim@formonedesign.com � PLANNING APPLICATION BURLINGAME COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT—PLANNING DIVISION 501 PRIMROSE ROAD, 2ND FLOOR, BURLINGAME, CA 94010-3997 TEL: 650.558.7250 � FAX: 650.696.3790 � E-MAIL: PLANNINGDEPT(a�BURLINGAME.ORG Z O � Q � � O � Z f- U w � O � n.

A significant amount of roots from this tree are located on the surface and cause the area around the tree to be a tripping hazard. Removal of these roots would make the tree unstable and a potential hazard. The structure of the tree is poor, with advantageous limb growth, and dead limbs. If the tree were to be trimmed using ISA standards, the tree would become unbalanced and sparse with little leaf growth. The tree is located close to a proposed garage. When the garage is built, multiple roots will be severed causing the tree to decline and become a hazard. I am approving the removal based on the Municipal Code Chapter 11.06.060 (d) (1) The condition of the tree with respert to existing and proposed structures, (2) The necessity to remove the tree in order to construct any proposed improvements...of the property, and (7) The economic consequences and obligations of requiring a tree to remain. Therefore, I intend to issue a permit for the removal of one (1) Dawn Redwood tree based on the Municipal Code Chapter 11.06.060(d) Urban Reforestation and Tree Protection Ordinance. Replacement with one 24-inch box standard size single stem landscape trees (no fruit or nut) will be required to be planted anywhere on the private property as defined in Section 11.06.090. Adjacent property owner(s) within 100 feet of the property are also receiving notification of this decision. Appeals to this decision or any of its conditions or findings, must be filed in writing to our office byApril28, 2021 as provided in Section 11.06.080 of the Urban Reforestation and Tree P�otection Ordinance (Burlingpme Municipal Code Chapter 11.06J. The permit will be issued at the end of the work day on Apri128, 2021, if no appeal has been received by that date.

The tree is in visible decline and has large surface roots. Your concern as to the future health and safety of the tree has prompted this visit. Method: All inspections were made from the ground; the tree was not climbed for this inspection. The trees in question were located on a hand drawn map provided by me. The tree was then measured for diatneter at 54 inches above ground level (DBH or diameter at breast height). A condition ... `- _' '' rating (CON) is provided using 50 percent vitality and 50 percent fonn, using the following scale. 1 - 29 Very Poor 30 - 49 Poor 50 - 69 Fair 70 - R9 Good 90 - 100 Excellent The height of the tree was measured using a Nikon Forestry 550 Hypsometer. The spread was paced off (HT/SP). Comments and recommendations for future maintenance are provided. Dawn redwood with poor limb spacing. 111 U Bernal/3/ 18/21 ' � � ,� '.. " a� �� i ., . � �� m�,(ry � � (2) � Obscrvations: �� The tree in question is a dawn redwood (Mc�lu,�•eyi�uiu ,� gl�y�to.��ruh��icle,e) with a diameter at breast height of 35.5 inches. The tree is located in the rear of the property near the rear property linc. The estimated height of the tree is 50 feet witli a total crown spread of 40 feet. The vi�or of the tree is ""� fair with decline in the canopy. The fonn of the tree is poor with large surface roots. The recent loss of a limb has caused some damage to the property. The tree receives a condition rating of 45 on a 1-100 scale (poor). � .�:=�. Dawn redwood with heavy lateral leader. Failure is common for leaders like this. �. ,,;. k . _�►.� Summary: The larbe sequoia has very poor form with a history of limb loss. Tlie decline in tlie tree is duc to a fungal disease that will continue to cause the tree to decline. The tree will continuc to decline, and future limb failure is likely. The large surface roots travel approximately 40 feet from the tree making landscaping nearly impossible. The surface roots will eventually destroy the building in the rear of the property. Remove and replacc thc trcc as trimming the tree and its roots within ANSI standards or Best management practices will not improve the trces poor form or lessen the chances of failure making the tree an iirvnediate hazard. Replace the tree with a Chinese pistache, red oak or rcd maple. Large surface roots extending 40 feet make landscaping nearly impossible. Rcmoval of thc tree is tlie only method that eliminates all hazards and liabilities associated with the tree. The information included in this report is believed to be true and based an sound arboricultural principles an tices. � Sinccrely,� C�ETY `�` � . s0 ___._ OF _ Kevin R. Kielty Certified Arborist WE#047 : � 1� wE�047'�M � SUBJECT: 1110 Bernal Ave. Burlingame Dear Neighbor! We, Tim Raduenz (Designer) + Mr. Pat Gilson (Owner) are Designing preliminary plans for (2) 2- story homes @ 1110 Bernal! Lot 17 is a slightly more contemporary country home, and Lot 16 is a cedar shingled Dutch colonial style which you see a lot of in Burlingame! Both homes will have rear garages (2-stall) to hopefully help with street parking! Design notes: 1. House on Lot 16: simple Dutch colonial with the 2nd floor neatly tucked into the dutch colonial roof! Which creates LESS massing. The materials are all high quality! Cedar shingles and wood clad windows with true style muntin bars (grides)! 2. House on Lot 17: simple more contemporary country home with simple lines and style to keep the look low key, and a simpler 6/12 roof which creates LESS massing. The materials are all high quality! Cedar sidings and wood clad windows with true style muntin bars (grids)! 3. Michael Callan has a new landscape plan under design, and it will create more privacy for all on the street and the owners as well! MOVING FORWARD WITH US — A LITTLE INFORMATION Pat and I have separately done projects in the neighborhood and in Burlingame + San Mateo Park throughout the years. We put our all into each project and work with everyone so we get a great finished project that adds value to the street scape and the homes around it.

Which I believe is a good change of pace for the block in general. DESIGN NOTES: - We have worked the plan so that the family has the driveway to play safely with the gate open and having the extra room with the slightly larger than normal 6,000 sq. ft. lot it gave us more design leverage on screening and privacy, along with a better tree screening at the driveway. - We have the open concept to the rear yard that most clients want and need. - Materials are all high grade, aluminum clad windows with SDL bars and real cedar shingles stained finish (semi-transparent or possible solid) we have not made that decision. - Simple detached garage 2-stall with optional half vaulted and half storage trusses, for the all-important storage. - Simple more modern landscape to play offthe more traditional style...it will also play well with lot 17 as the landscape will be more compatible. Planning with review from neighbor's is coming. Privacy is both concern of the owners and the neighbors, Callan can review any questions you have with plantings, etc. We are really looking for any concerns with neighbors on this lot as it's the lower elevation and - We have already sent out letters to the across the road neighbors and anyone attached to this lot!

We heard a tree screen was included to North side of the left house as a courtesy to neighbors who have resided there for 60 years but it seems courtesy should be extended to the southern neighbors, too, even though they just moved in. Arguably it is more justified because the houses are closer together.
