Summary: An application for Design Review and Special Permit for an attached garage for a first floor addition to a single family dwelling was originally approved by the Planning Commission on February 12, 2007 (February 12, 2007 P.C. Minutes attached). A building permit was issued on April 4, 2007, and the project is ready to be finaled. During the final inspection by the Planning Division, it was noted that one window was removed from the first floor towards the rear of the right side elevation and that many of the original double hung windows on the second story had been replaced with simulated true divided light, wood casement windows with three dimensional wood mullions. The applicant submitted building elevations and a letter, date stamped April 4, 2008, describing these changes. The design of the first floor addition, other than the removal of a window on the first floor towards the rear of the right side elevation and the replacement of many of the original double hung windows on the second story with simulated true divided light, wood casement windows with three dimensional wood mullions, remains unchanged. A copy of the originally approved and proposed elevations (date stamped April 4, 2008) are included for your review. Planning staff would note that because of this minor revisions, it was 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. Erica Strohmeier Planner ATTACHMENTS: Letter from TRG Architects, date stamped April 4, 2008 Approval Letter, dated February 23, 2007 February 12, 2007 Planning Commission Minutes Previously approved and proposed building elevations, date stamped April 4, 2008 Planning FYI Date: Friday Apri14, 2008 Applicant: TRG Architects 205 Park Road Ste. 203 Burlingame, CA 94010 Address: 1538 Burlingame Ave. Burlingame, CA 94010 Owner: David des Jardins and Nancy Blachman Re: Planning FYI The enclosed drawings are regarding an update to the elevations. We've decided to replace some of the windows on the second floor and chose grill patterns for them that are different than that which was submitted on January 10 of 2007. In addition, a small window on the first floor has been omitted from the rear elevation (please see sheet A3.3). This window was never on the floor plans that were originally submitted to the planning department, therefore it is not being included in these sets. �� l�PE� � � 2008 r��T;n=: . - �.^�.- G9T �j` �.��. �'� � °�..o ,.> The City of Burlingame CITY HALL • 501 PRIMROSE ROAD TEL: 650.558-7250 PLANNING DEPARTMENT BURLINGAME, CA 94010 FAX: 650.696-3790 February 23, 2007 David Des Jardins 1538 Burlingame Avenue Burlingame, CA 94010 Dear Mr. Des Jaxdins, Since there was no appeal to or suspension by the City Council, the February 12, 2007, Pla.luung Commission approval of your application for design review and a special permit for an attached garage, and rear setback and floor area ratio variances became effective February 22, 2007.
