�� STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: September 21, 2015
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
Date: September 21, 2015
From: William Meeker, Community Development Director —(650) 558-7255
Subject: City Council Consideration of an Appeal of the Planning Commission's
Approval of Applications for Design Review and Hillside Area Construction
Permit for a major renovation of an existing single family dwelling which
includes first and second story additions, on Property at 2753 Burlingview
Drive, Located Within a Single-Family Residential (R-1) Zone
RECOMMENDATION
The City Council should conduct a public hearing, consider all oral and written testimony received
during the hearing and, following closure of the hearing and deliberations, take one of the
following actions:
■ Deny the appeal and uphold the Planning Commission's approval of the
application;
■ Grant the appeal and deny the application; or
■ Remand the application to the Planning Commission for reconsideration.
Following the City Council's action, staff will prepare a resolution memorializing the action for
adoption on the next regular City Council agenda.
BACKGROUND
Project Description: The proposal is to demolish the existing second floor, as well as portions of
the existing left side of the house that have non-conforming side setbacks. The existing attached
garage will remain, and there will be first floor additions at the rear of the existing house, as well
as a new second story. The proposed project will have a total floor area of 4,113 SF (0.41 FAR)
where 4,300 SF (0.43 FAR) is the maximum allowed (including covered porch exemptions).
The applicant is requesting a Hillside Area Construction Permit for this major renovation and first
and second story additions. The existing highest ridge, at the left side of the house, is 24'-0"
above average top of curb and the height of the highest section of the flat roof (at the center of the
house) for the new second story addition is 30'-0" above average top of curb.

Appeal - 2753 Burlingview Dr. September 21, 2015
The exterior walls of the existing attached garage and the existing code-complaint uncovered
parking space in the driveway leading to the garage will remain. The number of bedrooms on site
will be increased from 4 to 5 and the on-site parking requirement will be increased from two
spaces (1 covered, 1 uncovered) to three spaces (2 covered spaces, 1 uncovered parking space).
The interior width of the garage will not be altered; it provides the minimum width for two covered
parking spaces (18'-0" existing and proposed). Several interior structures (such as a furnace,
water heater, and stairs) will be removed to increase the interior length in the garage. Because
the parking space length is being altered, the required length must be 20'-0" to comply with code
regulations and the design provides 20'-0".
There is a protected size tree at the left, front side of the property that will be retained with
construction. The applicant has submitted Certified Arborist Reports, date stamped March 11 and
July 31, 2015, to detail protection measures. All other Zoning Code requirements have been met.
The applicant requests approval of the following applications:
■ Design review for a second story addition (C.S. 25.57.010,a,2); and
■ Hillside Area Construction Permit (C.S. 25.61.020).
A copy of the August 10, 2015 report to the Planning Commission is attached to this report and
contains a detailed analysis of the proposal.
Planning Commission Action: At its meeting of August 10, 2015, the Planning Commission
approved the applicant's requests with a vote of 3-2-1-1. The project was directed to come back
as an FYI item to include the additional landscaping offered by the owner at the public hearing.
At the hearing, some members of the Planning Commission expressed the opinion that
substantial design changes had been made to the original proposal to take into account the
concerns of the neighbors, and in particular the side setbacks on the first and second floors meet
or exceed the required minimum, the massing is handled well, there is mature landscaping in
place to help screen the addition, and there are no view concerns. Other members of the
Commission expressed the opinion that more could be done to accommodate the concerns of the
neighbors and that the design of the house is still too massive, in part because it sits at the top of
the street.
Appeal of Planning Commission's Action: Subsequent to the Planning Commission's action,
the property owner to the right of the subject property, Terry McAloon, submitted a timely appeal
of the Commission's action.

Honorable Mayor and Membe�s of the City Council
City of Burlingame, California
5eptember 7, 2015
Subject: Review of Design Application
For Residence at 2753 Burlingview Dr
Dear Mayor and Council Members,
I believe the proposed design for the residence at 2753 Burlingview Dr is out of scale for
our neighborhood and should not be approved.
Our neighborhood consists of forty-two homes whose architecture is almost entirely made up of single
story, two thousand square foot houses (ref Exhibit 1, att,; photo of Burlingview Dr to get an idea of the
look of the neighborhood). In reading the City of Burlingame Neighborhood Design Guidebook, I believe
the intent of the City is to balance new construction with respecting the intent of the original
neighborhood developers. As stated in the Introduction to the Guidebook:
"...it is important that we respect the intentions of the original designers. We do this by looking at their
work, supporting it and adding to it in ways that are harmonious."
The Introduction to the Guidebook goes onto say that:
"The neighborhood is a place with a character and boundary.
"...a neighborhood's architectural identity is based more on common patterns shared by all houses.
"The essential nature of the neighborhood is most often embodied by the patterns shared between the
original houses that formed the neighborhood.
"Where the original houses define the neighborhood, newer houses and additions should support that
definition."
In my opinion, the Guidelines quoted above apply to the current case since the houses in our
neighborhood were built in the 1950's and are fairly described has having a common architectural
character.
The house at 2753 Burlingview is 4300 sq ft in area and two stories in height. So basically, it would be
twice the size of contemporary neighborhood houses!
I can appreciate that I do not have the background to understand the nuances that go into determining
how a residence design gets approved. But based on the Guidebook's clear intent fio "conserve the
valuable character of the original neighborhoods", I'm not sure that I follow the applicant's comments
regarding the architecture of houses scattered throughout the Burlingame hills. In the architect's luly
30, 2015 letter to the Planning Commission (ref Ex 2), the first bullet states in part:
"The massing is very similar to many of the 1950's, 60's and 70's homes in the hillside area that have a
garage at either the left or right fa�ade, and a two story mass extending across the property (see
attached photo examples.)
"Therefore the only real difference between those homes and the applicant is the style or appearance."
So I can only assume that the point of the above statement is to suggest that since there are houses
somewhere in the Burlingame hillside area similar to the design under review, then such houses can be
built anywhere in the hillside area. This seems to me to be overriding the intent of the Guidebook.
The Guidebook states that neighborhoods have a character and a boundary. In light of this, It is hard to
understand why photos of houses outside the boundary of our neighborhood (per Mapquest, some of
the homes are two miles away!) have any relevance to the design of the house at 2753 eurling�iew.
(I can't help but feel that the first bullet in the referenced letter should be restated as:" The only real
difference between the houses on Burlingview and the applicant is that the applicant's house will be
twice the area and twice the height of existing houses".)
I believe that the Guidebook emphasizes the intent to preserve a locale's architectural character when it
goes on to say:
"...we have adopted an intention to define a neighborhood at a smaller scale by the immediate
characteristics surrounding a given project."
So isn't the Guidebook narrowing down the area to look at for architectural compatibility rather than
expanding it as seems to be the case in the applicant's July 30 letter?
There are sorne eight homes (not counting the applicant's) adjacent to or across from the site in
question. All of them are single story and approximately 2000 sq ft in area. So how does the proposed
design comply with the Guidebook where, in referring to older neighborhood houses, it states that:
"They warrant respect and emulation."
The intent of my objection is not to ask the applicant to design a house that uses plans from fifty years
ago. The applicant is also currently building a house at 2747 Burlingview that is designed by the same
architectural firm as the house in question. This house is also 4300 sq ft and I'd assume is considered as
"modern architecture" (ref Ex 3; photo of this house). It is not a two story house; it is a single story
place. In their submittal for this other house, the applicant made a point of stating that the building
would be as low or lower than existing structures (ref Ex 4). As a result, the building has a hefght of
19'-11" as opposed to the 30' height of the building in question (ref Ex 5; Design Review permit}. So if
there was this commitment to the neighborhood's architectural identity once, why can't there be a
second time? Instead were looking at a house that towers some six to eight feet over my roof line jref Ex
6; photo of story poles shot from my roo�.
When I raise my objections to the proposed design, I am not aione. While three members of the
Planning Commission voted for the design; two voted against it. Four households in the immediate
vicinity of the proposed house wrote letters to Planning Commission raising objections to the design;
two other household members attended the Planning Commission August 10, 2015 meeting in support
of our objectian to the design.
So my `straw poll' of the voting on the design is as follaws:
Planning Commission
For A�ainst
Neighbors 0 6
Total 3 8
I understand that the applicant can say that the design is within regulations and thus he has the right to
have it approved. But we who have lived in the neighborhood for decades also have rights that, if they
mean what they say, are protected by the Design Guidelines. We live in our neighborhood for a reason:
it has a graceful symmetry to it that we find attractive. I appreciate that the City has to wrestle with
applying the Design Guidelines while at the same time determining the suitability of "modern style"
homes, I cannot compete with a skilled architect in discussing the various forms of "modern design".
However, I did come across one discussion of such a design that indi�ates a form of "modern design"
includes: "Low, horizontal massing, flat roofs, emphasis on horizontal planes and broad roof overhangs"
(ref Ex 7). To my untrained eye, this definition matches what we have at the applicant's house at 2747
Burlingview. This residence, it seems to me, is a reasonable compromise in updating our neighborhood
with "modern design" while at the same time "respects and emulates" the older neighborhood houses
as is called for in the Design Guidebook. I don't see how the proposed house at 2753 Burlingview in any
way attempts to respect the architectural legacy of our neighborhoad. So I'd again ask, why can't the
applicant propose a design that follows the form of his first house rather than inserting a design into the
neighborhood that I believe is clearly out of place, i.e. there is no other house like it in our
neighborhood, i.e. 30' high; 4300 sq ft in area.
If the design is approved, then we've missed the chance to preserve the character of a neighborhood
that has had a graceful place in Burlingame for some six decades. I'd expect that with this approval other
similar designs would follow in the years ahead. This would cause the neighborhood to have a chaotic
look instead of the common pattern now shared by our neighborhood's houses.
In my opinion, the objection to the proposed residence is in line with the purpose of the Design
Guidelines: to support the positive characteristics of our existing neighborhoods.
Sa, as stated above, I'd ask that the proposed design for 2753 Burlingview Dr not be approved.
Sincerely, /

To: Surlingame Planning Commission
RE: 2753 Budingvisw Drnre — response to Design Revtew Study comments
Dear Commissione►s and Staff,
Thank you for your comments at the Design Review Study hearing on 7/13/15_ The folfowing Is our
response to comments, and a descrip0on of a few minor revisio� to ihe exterior elevation drawings.
Bullding Maes / 8tory Poles: As you have seen, the story poles were erected and certfFled. The outline of
the story pole tiaggfng reflects the articulated massing in our revised design revievred on 7/13. In regards to
the hause's mass and the concem for the context of tha neighborhood, we would note the following:
o The massu�g is very simllar 6o many of the 1950's, 60's and 70's homes in tha tx'llstde area that
have a ga�e at either ihe left or rigM i[orrt facade, and a two story mass extending across the
property (See attacMad photo exar..r.;..::.) Many of these are 'Ywo story ranch houses" with pabled
roots and are generally accepted as vemacular to the hills�da area. Though their plate heighis
might be lower, they have the same impact due to the high gable roof. Th�efore the only real
dHferer�e belw�een tlwse fiomes er►d this applicetion, is the sryle ar appear�� �.:e.
o The Clty Council and Commission have indicated that pend'eig furlher resolution on the appropriate
nelghborhoods for "modem style" homes, the hitlside area is generally an acxeptable area for the
modem style.
o We have articulated the massing and detatls so that there is a variatlon in roof flnes with parapets,
awnir�gsJoverhangs and materlals.
o Previous projacts at the'crest" of a street, in which the Commission has asked for revislons to
height, have generally had unitorm contlnual roof Iines or parapets that are noi articulated.
o We have stepped badc both the rigM and left corners of the front faqade — particulady in regards to
ihe only impacted neighbor on the �ight side.
o There are no view lssues that are affected by the massing of the house.
o We are not asidng for arry special conslderations for heipht w setbacks. Our haigM calculation Is
near the maximum only because of the up-sloping lot
o The house is setback on the sides more than the required minimum of T-0'. The setback an the
left Is 11'-0", and on the right, the setback is 10'-2" on the Hrst floor and 11'-9' on the secflnd 800r.
o We have minimized any view windows on the west elevatlon, facing McAloon at 2759 Burling�lew
Drive. We Can iurther min�nize the impact if we obscure the bathroom window on the second floor
west elevation.
o Tha only poteMial neighborhood Impact is elong the front elevallon, wh[Ch is mssslve/y screened by
two huge mature prolected size traes. The Commission has often asked applicants to cor►sider
landscaping as a mesns io help screen a fagade... thfs elevation could hardly be more screened
with landscaping.
o The two dimensional elevatton �awings are deceiving. The front fa�ade In fact has several maJor
steps in plane from the fr�nt af the property, includng:
o Garege plane
o Office / Laundry plane
, o Second Floor Bedrooms 2/3
0 3econd Fioor oomers — Bath #3 and Master 8edraom Sit#ing area
Square Fovtage: The total square faotage propo�ed ts eomewhat skewed by the existing attached garage
which courits as square footaAe, and the iwo story volume which courds twlce towards our overall FAR — buc
this two story valume is at the back of the house and has no real neighborhood imRact.

What is modern: charact�eristics of modern
architecture
research Comments Off
What is different about modern architecture? a2 modern member, Greg
Jones, A.I.A., summarizes some of the common characteristics of this period
of architecture.
Characteristics of Mid-Century Modern:
Lack of ornament: Decorative moldings and elaborate trim are
eliminated or greatly si_mplified, giving way to a clean aesthetic where
materials meet in simple, well-executed j oints.
Emphasis of rectangular forms and horizontal and vertical lines:
Shapes of houses are based boxes, or linked boxes. Materials are often
used in well-defined planes and vertical forms juxtaposed against
horizontal elements for dramatic effect.

• Low, horizontal massing, flat roofs, emphasis on horizontal plan;,�
and broad roof overhangs: Modern homes tend to be on generous
sites, and thus many, but not all, have to have meandering one-story
plans. Many examples hug the ground and appear of the site, not in
contrast to it.
• Use of modern materials and systems: Steel columns axe used in
exposed applications, concrete block is used as a finished material,
concrete floors are stained and exposed, long-span steel trusses permit
open coluxnn-free spaces, and radiant heating systems enhance human
comfort.
.
• Use of traditional materials in new ways: Materials such as wood,
brick and stone are used in simplified ways reflecting a modern
aesthetic. Traditional clapboard siding are replaced with simple vertical
board cladding used in large, smooth planes. Brick and stonework are
simple, unornamented, and used in rectilinear masses and planes.
• Emphasis on honesty of materials: Wood is often stained rather than
painted to express its natural character. In many cases exterior wood is
also stained so that the texture and character of the wood can be
expressed.
• Relationship between interior spaces and sites: Use of large
expanses of glass in effect brings the building's site into the building,
taking advantage of dramatic views and natural landscaping.
• Emphasis on open, flowing interior spaces: Living spaces are no
longer defined by walls, doors and hallways. Living, dining and kitchen
spaces tend to flow together as part of one contiguous interior space,
reflecting a more casual and relaxed way of life.
• Generous use of glass and natural light: Windows are no longer
portholes to the outside, but laxge expanses of floor to ceiling glass
providing dramatic views and introducing natural light deep into the
interior of homes.
• Use of sun and shading to enhance human comfort: The best modern
homes are e�cient. They are oriented to ta.ke advantage of nature's
forces to provide passive solar heating in the winter, while long
overhangs and recessed openings provide shading to keep homes cool
in the summer.

To: Burlingame City Council
RE: 2753 Burlingview Drive — Appeal of Planning Commission Approval
Dear Madam Mayor, Honorable Council and Staff,
Thank you for this opportunity to present our position regarding the appeal of the Planning Commission's
Project Approval for 2753 Burlingview Drive. First, let us state that the property Owners — the Chan Family —
are very excited to reconnect with this neighborhood where Alvin grew up, be adjacent to his Parents who
live around the corner on Bella Vista, and become members of the community. They have been very
respectful of Mr. McAloon and the other neighbors, and have gladly met with them to discuss their project.
�n regards to the issues of appeal, we submit the following "arguments":
• It would appear that there is no basis for accepting the appeal and overturning the Planning
Commission's approval of the project:
o The applicant asked for NO special considerations for height, setbacks, FAR, lot coverage
or declining height. The project in fact exceeds the required setbacks on all sides.
o There are NO view blockage issues resulting from the project additions and massing
o Mr. McAloon's only basis for objection at the Commission hearings appeared to merely
relate to an interpretation of the Design Guidelines and issues of neighborhood context.
• The rear, Hillsborough neighbor Mr. Feldman suggested at the Planning Commission Hearing that there
were view issues from his property. The views from his one story structure appear to be entirely
blocked by existing trees and fencing.
• In regards to the Design Guidelines, the Planning Commission has already judged that the project fits
the neighborhood conte� and approved the project based on their interpretation of the Design
Guidelines
• Mr. McAloon and A few neighbors have argued that the house is "too big" for the neighborhood. The
proposed square footage of 4,113 sf (per Staff Report), includes 498 sf of attached garage (most of
which would be exempt if detached) and 136 sf of high ceiling open area that is at the back of the house
and not affecting any neighbor. Therefore the proposed living area is approximately 3,500 sf.
• The Neighbors' suggestion that this is an area of only one story homes, is not accurate.
• We are not aware of any statute or guideline that requires a house to be a certain square footage, or a
given percentage below the allowable FAR, if neighbors object, or if there are a certain number of
existing houses with less square footage...
• The only potential interpretation would be if the massing of a house that is less than the allowable
square footage, nonetheless has some negative impact on the neighborhood...
• Massing:
o We have articulated the massing and details so that there is a variation in roof lines with
parapets, awnings/overhangs and materials.
o Previous projects at the "cresY' of a street, in which the Commission has asked for
revisions to height, have generally had uniform continual roof lines or parapets that are not
articulated.
o We have stepped back both the right and left corners of the front fa�ade — particularly in
regards to the only impacted neighbor on the right side — Mr. McAloon
o We are planning no large view windows that look out to Mr. McAloon's property
o As noted to the Planning Commission, the front elevation is massive/y screened by two
huge mature protected size trees. The Commission has often asked applicants to
consider landscaping as a means to help screen a fa�ade... this elevation could hardly be
more screened with landscaping.

City Council Appeal

Planning Commissioners in fact commented that the story poles revealed that the massing was quite
nice, and reflected a massing that was smaller than might be expected.
The two dissenting Commissioners wondered if there were any other solutions that could have been
pursued "be more compatible" or "reduce the massing":
o Any alternative solutions would have to start with the two basics of where to locate the
garage, and where to set the first floor elevation.
o The Owners have no desire to throw away the existing garage and the first floor and put
them in a landfill. The only area being removed is the previous unsightly addition.
o Even if the site were scraped, the ONLY location and grade elevation for the garage is the
EXISTING location and grade. Any other location would severely harm the two existing
protected trees in the front yard.
o Regarding the first floor, while the existing elevation is approx 6'-9" above the average top
of curb at the front, it is only 1'-2" above grade at the rear. Therefore the ONLY elevation
for the first floor is the EXISTING grade — unless the house were to be sunken into grade
and have to step UP to get out to the back yard.
o Options for relocating or sinking the garage or first floor are fairly unreasonable, when
again, the proposed project is within the allowable height, FAR, Lot Coverage, Declining
Height and Setbacks.
Style / Additional Neighborhood Context:
The City Council and Commission have indicated that pending further resolution on the issue of appropriate
neighborhoods for "modern style" homes, the hillside area is generally an acceptable area for the modern
style. There are in fact several homes in the immediate vicinity that have a somewhat modem or
contemporary feel — including Mr. McAloon's home.
In conclusion, we believe we have designed a well-styled home that fits into the Hillside and Neighborhood
context, and serves the needs and desires of the Chan Family who will soon be contributing members of our
Community.
Thank you for your further consideration.
Sincerely,
�

Staff Contact: Erika Lewit
Attachments: 2753 Burlinqview Dr - Staff Report
2753 Burlinqview Dr - Attachments
Commissioner Terrones was recused from this item as he has a business relationship with the applicant.
All Commissioners had visited the project site. Commissioner Sargent met with three neighbors: the
neighbor immediately adjacent uphill, and the two across the street.
P/anning Manager Gardiner presented the staff report. There were no questions of staff.
Wayne Lin, Dreilling Terrones Architects, represented the applicant.�
> Story poles have been installed.
> Owners have met with neighbors since story po/es were installed.
> Have articulated massing and details so there are variations in rooflines with parapets, awnings,
overhangs and materials.
> Stepped back front and right corners of facade.
> No view issues are effected by the mass of the house.
> No specia/ considerations for either the height or sefbacks. Height is near the maximum on/y
because of the upsloping lot.
> Side setbacks are greater than required on both sides: 11' on the /eft side; 10'-2" on the first f/oor
and 11'-9" on the second floor of the right side.
> Has minimized view windows on the west e/evation. Front is screened by two large mature protected
size trees.
> Rendering shows different planes in the facade.
> Existing 2-car garage counts towards floor area, and the two-story volume counts twice fowards
FAR.
> Rear e/evation windows revised, roof overhang extended. Additional windows on west e/evafion but
will not be view windows.
Alvin Chan spoke as the owner:
> Met with neighbors Sunday evening.
> Would like to make changes to plan as compromise to address neighbor concerns.
> Proposes planting purp/e hopseed bushes for privacy between adjacent neighbor.
> Proposes adding a third tree at front corner at corner of garage - Japanese maple.
> Suggests adding an additional parking space on the curb to the right of the driveway.
Questions to applicant:
City of Burlingame Page 1 Prinied on 8H7/2015
Planning Commission Meeting Minutes August 10, 2015
> Have addressed the concerns of neighbors? (Chan: Can't speak for them. Have made suggested
changes as a result of the meeting.)
> Story poles show the house will impinge on the to Sequoia tree. (Lin: Arborist report mentions
preserving tree so it remain in good health.)(Chan: 5-10 lower limbs will be removed according to the
report.)
> How to ensure the health of tree? (Chan: Arborist report is very specific with protection measures
including fencing around the tree, and arborist involvement during construction.)
Public comments:
Terry McAloon, 2759 Burlingview Drive, spoke on this item:
> Design guidelines are there to preserve good qualities of existing neighborhoods.
> Guidelines say a neighborhood can be interpreted by its common characteristics, its general pattern
exemplified by the original homes.
> Guidelines say new houses coming into neighborhood should support existing homes, emulate the
design and respect the homes.
> Characteristics of neighborhood are sing/e-story 2,000 square foot homes. Does not see how a
hvo-story 4, 300 sq ft home fits.
> Homes on Atwater are similar to what is proposed, but that is a different neighborhood. Not sure why
need to accept something from a different neighborhood.
> Does not believe design complies with Neighborhood Design Guidelines.
Gary Payne, 2754 Burlingview Drive, spoke on this item:
> Submitted letter. Concerns mitigated by landscaping but sfill stand behind /etter.
> Concern with mass and height of house. Will be taller than houses on each side so will be out of
character with the neighborhood.
> Impacts neighbor on pleasure and use of their home, loss of privacy.
> Amenab/e to improvements and neighborhood upgraded, but wants to see if owners could meet
their requirements for their home without as much impact on the neighbors.
Merrill Feldman spoke on this item:
> Lives behind the property.
> Concerns stated by others
> Nature of neighborhood would be changed by a house of this height and size.
> /ssues taken into account in terms of front and side views, but nof considered from behind. Story
po/es show impact to view from the rear.
Applicant response:
> Height point of departu�e (finished floor level of first floor) is 6'-9" based on hill topography.
> House is set back beyond the required 7 feet. First floor is 10'-2", second floor 11'-9" to distance
from the neighbor's side.
Vice-Chair Loftis closed the public hearing.
Commission discussion:
> Difficult, as Burlingame is changing. Applicants want larger houses as property values increase.
> Applicant has worked hard to take concerns of neighbors into account. Difference between this
design and earlier is significant.
> Massing is handled well, and held back significantly from the setbacks.
> Does not impact distant views as specified in the Hillside Construction Permit ordinance.
> Will be a larger house than the neighborhood at large.
City of Burlingame Page 2 Piinted on 8/17/2015
Planning Commission Meeting Minutes August 10, 2075
> Well screened by existing mature trees. Additional tree will help further.
> Story po/es seemed to show house would fit well. Flat roof allows height of the house to be brought
down.
> All neighborhoods are changing, so need to focus on quality of design. This is a high-quality design.
> Has done a good job of mitigating neighbor concerns. However apparent massing seems large as it
is viewed from the west, sitting out on the promontory. Other large houses fit in beiter when they sit back
into the hill, not on top of a promontory.
> 2751 Summit example a/so sits on a promontory and is two-stories. lt overshadows the houses
around it.
> Existing house mitigates the massing by pushing second story back into left corner.
> Would like mass decreased. All houses around are single-story houses. This house is setting the
sfandard.
> Concern with trimming the limbs on the tree.
> Story poles show house will nof be as massive as might be anticipafed. House is increasing overall
height only 5.3 feet at the highest point of the ridge compared to existing house.
> Building is sculpted nice/y. Facade steps away on upper floors.
> Does not need to reproduce architecture from the 1950s.
> Tree is /arge and will be able to endure trimming. It has already been trimmed previously.
> Project can be supported with the proposed landscaping additions coming back as an FYI. Parking
space may require an encroachment permit so should be pursued but not a requirement.
Commissioner Sargent made a motion, seconded by Commissioner Gum, to approve the
application with the following condition:
> Applicant to return with an FYI prior to issuance of a building permit indicating landscaping
proposed by the applicant, including the screening trees on the right side of the property and the
Japanese maple at the front left of the property. Proposed parking space should be pursued with
Public Works but is not a requirement.
The motion carried by the following vote:
Aye: 3- Loftis, Sargent, and Gaul
Nay: 2- Gum, and Bandrapalli
Absent: 1 - DeMartini
Recused: 1 - Terrones

Design Review and Hillside Area Consfruction Permit
Address: 2753 Burlingview Drive Meeting Date: August 10, 2015
Request: Application for Design Review and Hillside Area Construction Permit for a major renovation of an
existing single family dwelling that includes first and second floor additions.
Applicant and Architect: Richard Terrones, Dreiling Terrones Architecture, Inc.
Property Owner: Alvin Chan
General Plan: Low Density Residential
APN: 027-261-030
Lot Area: 10,000
Zoning: R-1
Environmental Review Status: The project is Categorically Exempt from review pursuant to the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), per Section 15301 (e)(1) of the CEQA Guidelines, which states that additions
to existing structures are exempt from environmental review, provided the addition will not result in an increase
of more than 50% of the floor area of the structures before the addition.
Project Description: The existing house is two stories with an attached garage. The applicant is requesting
Design Review and Hillside Area Construction Permit for first and second story additions. The proposed floor
area for the new house will be 4,113 SF (0.41 FAR) where 4,300 (0.43 FAR) is the maximum allowed on site
(including covered porch exemptions).
With the proposed project, the existing second floor will be demolished, as well as portions of the existing left
side of the house that have non-conforming side setbacks. The existing attached garage will remain, and there
will be first floor additions at the rear of the existing house, as well as a new second story.
The applicant is requesting a Hillside Area Construction Permit for this major renovation and first and second
story additions. The existing highest ridge, at the left side of the house, is 24'-0" above average top of curb and
the height of the highest section of the flat roof (at the center of the house) for the new second story addition is
30'-0" above average top of curb.
The exterior walls of the existing attached garage and the existing code-complaint uncovered parking space in
the driveway leading to the garage will remain. The number of bedrooms on site will be increased from 4 to 5
and the on-site parking requirement will be increased from two spaces (1 covered, 1 uncovered) to three spaces
(2 covered spaces, 1 uncovered parking space). The interior width of the garage will not be altered; it provides
the minimum width for two covered parking spaces (18'-0" existing and proposed). Several interior structures
(such as a furnace, water heater, and stairs) will be removed to increase the interior length in the garage.
Because the parking space length is being altered, the required length must be 20'-0" to comply with code
regulations and the revised design provides 20'-0", eliminating the previous request for a parking variance.
There is a protected size tree at the left, front side of the property that will be retained with construction. The
applicant has submitted a Certified Arborist Reports, date stamped March 11 and July 31, 2015, to detail
protection measures. The applicant is requesting the following applications:
■ Design review for a second story addition (C.S. 25.57.010,a,2); and
■ Hillside Area Construction Permit (C.S. 25.61.020).

Staff Comments: See attached memos from the Chief Building Official, Fire Division, Engineering Division,
Parks Division, and Stormwater Division.
Design Review Study Meeting: At the Planning Commission design review study meeting the Commission had
several comments regarding 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 and story poles installed and surveyed.
Please refer to the copy of the July 13, 2015 Planning Commission minutes included in the staff report for the
Planning Commission comments on the design of the structure and the role of story poles of evaluating the
project.
The applicant submitted a response letter and revised plans date stamped July 31, 2015. The story poles were
installed and certified on July 22, 2015. The installation of the story poles showed that the proposed second
story would require trimming of the protected size Sequoia tree on the property. The applicant has submitted an
updated Arborist Report, dated stamped July 31, 2015, to address this impact. The conditions of approval
require that tree protection measures be installed and inspected by the City Arborist prior to any demolition on
the site and that a Certified Arborist be present for any tree trimming of protected size trees.
Staff would note the following items that in addition to the previously submitted letters, the Attachment section of
this report contains four additional letters submitted by neighboring property owners and one additional letter

Design Review and Hillside Area Construction Permit 2753 Burlingview Drive
submitted by the property owner.
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:
1. 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;
3. Architectural style and mass and bulk of structure;
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.
Required Findings for Hillside Area Construction Permit: Review of a Hillside Area Construction Permit by
the Planning Commission shall be based upon obstruction by construction of the existing distant views of nearby
properties. Emphasis shall be given to the obstruction of distant views from habitable areas within a dwelling
unit (Code Sec. 25.61.060).
Suggested Findings for Hillside Area Construction Permit: That the proposed single family dwelling is
designed to decrease the impact of the proposed second story on the uphill property to the right, with a greater
than existing side setback and flat roofs, and that this project does not obstruct distant views from habitable
areas within nearby dwelling units and therefore the project may be found to be compatible with hillside area
construction 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:
1. that the project shall be built as shown on the plans submitted to the Planning Division date stamped July
31, 2015, sheets A0.01 through A5.1, AR1.04, L1.1 and L1.2.GP1.0, ER1.1, and Boundary and
Topographic Survey;
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;
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 the conditions of the Engineering Division's December 23, 2014 and March 18, 2015 memos, the
Building Division's December 23, 2014 and March 13, 2015 memos, the Parks Division's January 8,
2015 memo, the Fire Division's December 23, 2014 memo, and the Stormwater Division's December 23,
2014 memo shall be met;
5. 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;

To: Burlingame Planning Commission
RE: 2753 Burlingview Drive — response to Design Review Study comments
Dear Commissioners and Staff,
Thank you for your comments at the Design Review Study hearing on 7/13/15. The following is our
response to comments, and a description of a few minor revisions to the exterior elevation drawings.
Building Mass / Story Poles: As you have seen, the story poles were erected and certified. The outline of
the story pole flagging reflects the articulated massing in our revised design reviewed on 7/13. In regards to
the house's mass and the concern for the context of the neighborhood, we would note the following:
o The massing is very similar to many of the 1950's, 60's and 70's homes in the hillside area that
have a garage at either the left or right front facade, and a two story mass extending across the
property (See attached photo examples.) Many of these are "two story ranch houses" with gabled
roofs and are generally accepted as vernacular to the hillside area. Though their plate heights
might be lower, they have the same impact due to the high gable roof. Therefore the only real
difference between those homes and this application, is the style or appearance.
o The City Council and Commission have indicated that pending further resolution on the appropriate
neighborhoods for "modern style" homes, the hillside area is generally an acceptable area for the
modern style.
o We have articulated the massing and details so that there is a variation in roof lines with parapets,
awnings/overhangs and materials.
o Previous projects at the "cresY' of a street, in which the Commission has asked for revisions to
height, have generally had uniform continual roof lines or parapets that are not articulated.
o We have stepped back both the right and left corners of the front faCade — particularly in regards to
the only impacted neighbor on the right side.
o There are no view issues that are affected by the massing of the house.
o We are not asking for any special considerations for height or setbacks. Our height calculation is
near the maximum only because of the up-sloping lot.
o The house is setback on the sides more than the required minimum of 7'-0". The setback on the
left is 11'-0", and on the right, the setback is 10'-2" on the first floor and 11'-9" on the second floor.
o We have minimized any view windows on the west elevation, facing McAloon at 2759 Burlingview
Drive. We can further minimize the impact if we obscure the bathroom window on the second floor
west elevation.
o The only potential neighborhood impact is along the front elevation, which is massivelyscreened by
two huge mature protected size trees. The Commission has often asked applicants to consider
landscaping as a means to help screen a fa�ade... this elevation could hardly be more screened
with landscaping.
o The two dimensional elevation drawings are deceiving. The front fa�ade in fact has several major
steps in plane from the front of the property, including:
o Garage plane
o Office / Laundry plane
o Second Floor Bedrooms 2/3
o Second Floor corners — Bath #3 and Master Bedroom Sitting area
Square Footage: The total square footage proposed is somewhat skewed by the existing attached garage
which counts as square footage, and the two story volume which counts twice towards our overall FAR — but
this two story volume is at the back of the house and has no real neighborhood impact.

Elevation Revisions: The minor revisions include:
o Rear Elevation
o Revised the window module for the windows into the two story Living Room volume
o Bedroom #4, extended the roof overhang to the right on the roof above the deck
o West Elevation — Bedroom #5, added small windows at the night stand area of the bed wall. These
will not be view windows because the primary view is through the large window on the south wall,
to the rear yard
Thank you for your further consideration.

Construction Permit for a major renovation of an existing single family dwelling which

Commissioner Terrones was recused from this item, as he has a business relationship with the
applicant.
All Commissioners had visited the project site. Commissioners DeMartini and Bandrapalli each met with
the neighbor at 2769 Burlingview.
P/anning Manager Gardiner presented the staff report. There were no questions of staff.
Wayne Lin, DTA, represented the applicant:
> Has revisited the issues with the adjacent neighbor at 2759 Burlingview and will visif again once the
story poles have been installed.
> Garage stair relocated, allowing a conforming garage. Variance no longer requesfed.
> Revision to west e/evation proposed to add two side windows to add light into the lower bedroom.
Commission questions/comments:
> Have the p/ans been shared with the neighbors? (Lin: Yes, have reviewed with neighbors at 2759
Burlingview.)
> Pleased the parking variance has been eliminated.
Public comments: None.
Commission comments:
> Moving the setbacks back on both sides will he/p with the impacts on the neighbors. However while
massing has been improved will still be a huge building in relation to the neighboring houses. 10 foot
plate height on first floor, 9 feet on second floor, whereas most of the neighboring houses are older
ranch style with 8-foot ceilings. �ll make it hard to fit into the neighborhood.
> Neighbors to right would not have views that would need to be protecfed. Not sure about other
homes, but will determine once story poles go up. Story poles will a/so give a sense of the sca/e of the
house.
> Good job of sculpting the building, not just a rectangular box. Challenge is it sits on top of hill, over
the house below it. Naturally sits on a promontory overlooking the house below.
> Good job of mitigating the massing and allowing the neighbor to the right to have a sense of
openness.

RE: 2753 Burlingview drive — Response to Comments, 4/13/2015 Study Meeting
Dear Commissioners and Staff
Thank you for your consideration of our project and your comments at the Study Meeting on 4/13/15. We have re-
visited the project design with the Applicant (Alvin Chan) and we have made several changes in response to the
Commission's comments. In working with Planning Staff, we have collectively determined that it is best to re-visit the
Project with the Commission at a second Study Meeting rather than proceed to Action. This should allow us to get
some feedback on the Architecture of the Project, prior to revising the story poles and proceeding to Action. We have
re-visited the view issues with the adjacent neighbor, Mr. McAloon at 2759 Burlingview Drive, prior to revising the
project. If the Architectural revisions are generally acceptable, we will again visit with Mr. McAloon once the story
poles have been revised. Below are photographs from the view windows in Mr. McAloon's house.
2747 Burlingview Drive
Response to Planning Commission Comments
Page 2
The following is a list of the revisions we have made to the Architecture of the Project.
Lower Floor Plan:
• Main entry wall pushed out to receive new central vertical element also allowing more space in the foyer
area
• With the enlarged foyer, the garage stair has been relocated to allow for a conforming garage interior length
of 21'-2" thus removing the need for any variance request
Upper Floor Plan:
• Bedroom 4 wall pushed in to provide more setback distance to the adjacent neighbor. Reflected in the
South and West elevations
• The bedrooms and bath along the North side of the upper floor have been adjusted to allow for the new
window configurations and the central vertical element. This revision is also reflected in the North elevation
• Master bedroom and Master bathroom have been flipped, thus allowing a master balcony in the front over
the existing garage. This also reduces the potential of cutting excessive amounts of the adjacent sequoia
tree limbs. This also allowed for a better opportunity to further sculpt the North and East elevations
North Elevation:
• A unifying central vertical element (with wood siding) has been incorporated into the design. This organizes
the main front elevation into three (3) distinct elements: the vertical center piece, with horizontal elements at
either side.
• Upper right corner of the front fa�ade has been stepped back in response to potential view issues from the
adjacent neighbor. The window layout remains the same.
• The upper decorative band has been removed and the roof line has been lowered 1'-9" to a total height of
21'-11" above finished floor.
• An awning has been added above the lower floor windows
• The laundry room window has been revised to a vertical casement window to match the adjacent window
layout
• A separate awning has been added over the main front entry door.
• Upper left corner has been stepped back in various locations with a balcony off the Master Bedroom to
create a more sculpted elevation, particularly where the existing large sequoia tree is located.
2747 Burlingview Drive
Response to Planning Commission Comments
Page 2
• A new awning has been added above the upper level master bedroom balcony doors to give shelter from
the weather.
• NOTE: This second floor balcony faces the street, does not overlook any rear yards, and is sheltered from
the front yard of 2747 Bu�lingview Drive (same owners) by the sequoia tree.
East Elevation:
• Upper floor elevaGon revised to reflect the new floar plan configuration
• The upper right side is stepped back to create the master balcony which is reflected on the North elevation
• New awning over the master bathroom that has been relocated to the left side of the elevation as reflected
on the upper level floor plan
• New window configurations to reflect the new Floor plan layout
South Elevation:
• Upper left band element removed and roof lowered to reflect the West and North elevations.
• The left wall has been pushed in to give more setback distance to the adjacent neighbor
• Upper right balcony and awning removed to reflect revised floor plan. A new comer window in the master
bathroom with a small awning above, and turning over to the East elevation
West Elevation:
• Reduced the size of the upper bedroom window facing the adjacent neighbor. Changed to rivo (2) vertical
casement windows that are on both sides of the new bed wall
• Decorative band element has been removed and roof lowered to re8ect the North and South elevations
• The upper level wall is stepped back to allow more setback distance to the adjacent neighbor
• The upper left wall is also stepped back even further to reduce the amount of wall mass as viewed from the
neighbors office window
Thank you for your further consideration of our project.
Sincerely,

There were no questions of staff.
Vice-Chair DeMartini opened the public hearing.
Wa/demar Stachnuik and Brian Morris represented the pp/icant.
Commission questions/comments:
> The roof s/opes are significantly ifferent than what exists current/y. Needs to be much more
delicafe in its approach to integratin the second-floor roofline into the house. The design detracts from
the character of the house.
> The front view of the house is eing a/tered in a negative way.
> The mass of the side vations is increased by the second f/oor sheer-wall addifion. The dormers
shou/d be made subordinat o the main roof.
> Noticed the tall fen on one side of the driveway; was it done with permits? (Morris - wasn't aware
of the code require nt at the time. Was installed because there is no back-yard; the side-yard serves
as the yard area.) to correct this issue.
> Agrees with omments about the shed roof.
> Has any hought been given to making the windows consistent? (Stachnuik - is difficulf to make
them cons' tent. Intends to use the windows with grids to match the windows on the front of the house .
�ll inst aluminum-clad wood windows.)
> e dormers are very prominent from A/pine. Important to do a correct design.
comments:
None.

> The home approved on the adjacent property was massed better.
> Need to engage with the neighbors regarding view impacts.
> Question regarding landscape plan at the front,� will here be turf? Clarify on the landscape plan.
> Believes the p/an could be "sculpted" a bit more to make it look less boxy.
> Agrees with the comments regarding the garage.
> A color rendering wou/d be he/pful in understanding the design.
> The design is not tru/y Mid-Century Modern.
Vice-Chair DeMartini opened the public hearing.
Wayne Hu represented the applicant.
Commission questions/comments:
> Doesn't find the justification for the parking variance compelling. There is already major
reconstruction going on with the project.

Public comments:
Terry McAloon, 2969 Burlingview Drive: expressed concern about size, mass and bu/k of house. Twice
the size of most homes in fhe area. The lot is similar in size to all other lots in the area. Concerned
about losing the open view and partial Bay view from his house. Requested story poles.
Vice-Chair DeMartini closed the public hearing.
Commission discussion:
> Suggested story po/es following refinements to the design.
> Encouraged the applicant to meet with the neighbors when refining.
> Require story po/es before coming back for action.
> Cou/d warrant design reviewer, but fee/s that the firm has the ability to address the design concerns.
> Doesn't feel that conditions warrant the parking variance in this instance, based upon the arguments
presented in the application.
Commissioner Sargent made a motion, seconded by Commissioner Loftis, to place the item on
the regular action calendar when ready for action, with further direction to erect story poles for
the project once revisions to the design are completed, prior to consideration by the

Dear Mr. Rojas,
As requested on Monday, November 17, 2014, I visited the above site for the purpose of
inspecting and commenting on the trees. A new home is planned for this site and your concern
as to the future health and safety of the trees has prompted this visit. An air spade was used to
dig an exploratory trench along the existing house to help detect root damage and possible future
root loss.
Method:
All inspections were made from the ground; the tree was not climbed for this inspection. The
tree in question was located on a site plan provided by you. The trees were then measured for
diameter at 54 inches above ground level (DBH or diameter at breast height). Each tree was
given a condition rating for form and vitality. The trees' condition rating is based on 50 percent
vitality and 50 percent form, using the following scale.
1 - 29 Very Poor
30 - 49 Poor
50 - 69 Fair
70 - 89 Good
90 - 100 Excellent
The height of the trees were measured using a Nikon Forestry 550 Hypsometer. The spread was
paced off. Comments and recommendations for future maintenance are provided.
An Exploratory trench was dug to help locate roots and help predict root loss. A Supersonic Air
Knife was used for the trenching. The air knife uses compressed air to dig the trench. The use of
the air knife reduces root damage when digging the trench. A sliding handled soil probe was
also to attempt to locate roots below the depth of the trench.

2753 Burlingview/12/15/14 (2)
Observations:
The tree in question is a giant sequoia
(Sequoiadendron gigantean) with an estimated
diameter at breast height of 40 inches. The tree is
located in the front of the property north of the
existing garage and southwest of a new home being
built. The estimated height of the sequoia is 50 feet
with a total crown spread of 35 feet. The vigor of
the tree is fair-good with normal shoot growth for
the species. The form of the tree is fair with a
straight trunk and a fair live crown ration.
The tree has suffered moderate to heavy root loss
from the excavation required to facilitate the
building of the home. Several roots up to 3 inches
in diameter. The roots were cut clean with a saw
and impacts to the tree appear to be moderate.
Exploratory trench being dug near the garage of the existing home.
The exploratory trench exposed an abundance of
small roots and no large roots along the edge of the
garage. It appears roots were cut some time ago and
the small roots are the results of that past root
cutting. Large roots were unearthed neat the patio
and at the entrance to the crawl space. The unearthed
root appears to be the cause of the damage to the rat
proofing in the crawl space.
Small roots unearthed near garage of existing
house at 2753 Burlingview. Roots appear to have
been severed in years past.
2753 Burlingview/12/15/l4 (3)
Summary:
The construction at 2747 and the proposed construction at 2753 Burlingview will have moderate
to heavy impacts of the giant sequoia tree located between the construction sites. The impacts to
the tree will be mitigated by heavier than normal irrigation during the warm season months. The
stability of the tree does not to appear to be compromised at this point. More will be known and
mitigating measures will be adjusted as construction starts at 2753 Burlingview. The following
tree protection plan will help to reduce impacts to the large tree.
Tree Protection Plan:
Tree protection zones should be established and maintained throughout the entire length of the
project. Fencing for the protection zones should be 6 foot tall metal chain link type supported
my 2 inch metal poles pounded into the ground by no less than 2 feet. The support poles should
be spaced no more than 10 feet apart on center. The location for the protection fencing should be
as close to the dripline as possible still allowing room for construction to safely continue. Signs
should be placed on fencing signifying "Tree Protection Zone - Keep Out". No materials or
equipment should be stored or cleaned inside the tree protection zones. Areas outside the
fencing but still beneath the dripline of protected trees, where foot traffic is expected to be heavy,
should be mulched with 4 to 6 inches of chipper chips. The wooden fencing will suffice for the
neighbor's trees.
Trenching for irrigation, electrical, drainage or any other reason should be hand dug when
beneath the driplines of protected trees. Hand digging and carefully laying pipes below or beside
protected roots will dramatically reduce root loss of desired trees thus reducing trauma to the
entire tree. Trenches should be backfilled as soon as possible with native material and
compacted to near its original level. Trenches that must be left exposed for a period of time
should also be covered with layers of burlap or straw wattle and kept moist. Plywood over the
top of the trench will also help protect exposed roots below.
Normal irrigation should be maintained throughout the entire length of the project. The imported
trees on this site will require irrigation during the warm season months. Some irrigation may be
required during the winter months depending on the seasonal rainfall. During the summer
months the trees on this site should receive heavy flood type irrigation 2 times a month. During
the fall and winter 1 time a month should suffice. Mulching the root zone of protected trees will
help the soil retain moisture, thus reducing water consumption.
The information included in this report is believed to be true and based on sound arboricultural
principles and practices.

Despite lower than normal rainfall the vigor of the tree has improved since the digging of the
exploratory trench in December 2014. The recently installed story poles has identified the limbs
that will be removed to facilitate the proposed construction. Five to ten lower limbs will be
remove raising the fringe of the tree.
Summary:
The de-compaction of the root zone (exploratory trench) and accelerated irrigation has
dramatically improved the vigor of the sequoia. The removal of several limbs to facilitate the
building of the house should have only minor effects on the tree. Continued irrigation and
proper tree protection will continue to improve the overall health of the tree.

Dear Erica,
My name is Terry McAloon and I live adjacent to the property at 2753 Burlingview Dr. My address is 2759
Burlingview Dr. You were good enough to go over the revised plans for the house under review when I
was at City Hall on July 7. I also met with the property owner and a representative of the architect this
morning regarding their new plans.
I note that there have been changes made to the original drawings. So that I may better understand the
impact of the changes, I would request that story poles be erected at the proposed building site. ( I
believe that the commission will ask for story poles as a matter of course, but I wanted to go on record
with such a request.)
I'd also mention that I will be out of town from August 22, 2015 to September 3, 2015. I would appreciate
it if you would allow me to make comments on the review process once I return in the event something
should come up during my absence.
Thank you

Subject: Public Hearing Notice for
Design Review for a Single Family
Residence at 2753 Burlingview Dr.
April 12, 2015
Dear Ms. Lewit,
My name is Terry McAloon. I live at 2759 Burlingview Dr. which is the house next store
to the west of the residence at 2753 Burlingview Dr. I am writing you regarding concerns that I have
over the design of the proposed residence at 2753 Burlingview Dr. They are as follows:
A. Lack of Compliance with the Citv of Burlin�ame Nei�hborhood Guidebook-
My house is a one story single family dwelling with approximately 1800 sq ft. There are three
single story residences across the street from the proposed dwelling. Based on data from the
Zillow website, two of these homes consist of some 1700 sq ft in area. I'm not able to determine
the area of the third house. In looking at the other houses on Burlingview Dr. using Zillow, in my
opinion, the average house is a single story residence with approximately 2000 sq ft of living
space. The proposed new house will have two stories and an area of 4118 sq ft. or just about
twice the size of the typical Burlingview Dr. home. I believe such a house is not compatible with
our neighborhood and I reference the following statements from the Guidebook:
i) "Component 5: Mass, Bulk and Scale
a) Design Review Criteria:
A compatible design will respect the scale of the existing neighborhood. It will use
methods and include elements which support the scale of example houses in the
neighborhood.
The scale of the residence should be consistent with the example residences in the
neighborhood.
b) Mass and Building Plan
When designing additions it is often tempting to fill in recesses in a building footprint,
resulting in simpler rectangular forms. This will typically result in a more massive
building that will not support neighborhood compatibility.

ii) Component 4- Location of Additions
When placing a second story space, attempt toward the center of the property. Where
sensible from an interior planning perspective, pull portions of the space away from the
property line."
Based on my reading of the above sections of the Design Guidebook, I have the
following questions regarding the design of the residence under review:
1. Does a house designed to have twice the number of stories and twice the square
footage of neighboring homes, meet the criteria of being consistent with the
example residences in the neighborhood?
2. The footprint of the house seems to be a large rectangle that is recommended
against in the Mass and Building Plan section of the Guidelines.
3. Was any attempt made to follow the Guidelines regarding locating the second story
space towards the center of the property? This has a particular application on my
comments below.
4. Will your review recommend the installation of story poles to depict the bulk and
mass of the proposed structure?
B. Direct Impact of Proposed House on Mv Residence-
I currently have a view from a window on the eastside of my house that gives me a site-line of
several hundred feet. (There is even a small sliver of a view of the bay from the window). What I
understand from looking at the plans for the new house is that the outer wall on the west-side
of the current house is 8.5 ft. The plan for the new building will raise this up to 24 ft. If this is
correct, then it seems that my basic view would be reduced to looking at the wall of the new
house. If my view is so restricted, I think it defeats the purpose of the statement in the Design
Guidebook under Component 1: Building Location that says the following:
"One of the defining characteristics of most Burlingame neighborhoods is the sense of space
that occurs between houses. Historically this sense of space and distance was one of the original
design criteria for most neighborhoods. Residents were seeking the space and feel of a less
urban environment while having access to numerous urban and community amenities."
So I'd ask that in your review if you would consider if any change in the height of the 24 ft wall
can be made.
I can't help but comment on the irony that seems to arise in the design/construction of the new
house. As I understand the plan, it will include the demolition of the 'east wing' of the existing
house. This structure has been the bane of our existence since it was built since it took a good

part of our view. (I have to wonder if it would even be allowed to be built now). But in tearing
down this structure, I believe that a fairly decent view of the bay and even Mt Diablo would be
visible from our window. The irony is that the new building would then come along and take the
view away again. (It would be quite an achievement if somehow an arrangement could be
worked out where the owner of the new house gets a place that's compatible with everyone
and we get our view back!)
I appreciate you and your colleagues giving consideration to my comments on the design of the
new house at 2753 Burlingview Dr.

Subject: Property at 2753 Burlingview Drive
Dear Planning Commission,
We are writing to let you know our thoughts about the remodel planned across the
street from our home at 2760 Burlingview Drive.
We live directly across the street from the planned remodel at 2753 Burlingview Drive.
We appreciate the new plans that have been drawn up, which make the front of the new
house look less boxlike. Our major ongoing concern is simply that there are very few
two-story homes on the top part of our street and none that look quite so different in
scale as the proposed new home.
The current house on the lot has a second story that is set back from the street, and
we're wondering if such a design might be possible for the new home that will be
there. It would make the home fit in better with the others that are on the street.
Right now, our block has a certain look -- low-profile homes that blend into our hilly
surroundings.
This new home, while shaded from the street by large trees, just seems to be such a
different style than what's already here and is much larger.
The other new home being built on our street, has a profile that although modern, fits
into the hillside well and does not block views at all.
Thanks for listening to our thoughts on this matter. We do appreciate the new owners
being open to hearing comments from neighbors and look forward to welcoming them to
our community.
Sincerely,
Sandra and Dan Feder

Regarding: Public Hearing Notice for Design Review for a Single Family at 2753 Burlingview Drive.
Dear Ms. Lewit and members of the planning commission:
My wife and I are owners and residents of the home across the street from the proposed project. In
general, we are pleased to see upgrades and improvements in the area as they may improve the values
of homes in the area and potentially keep the neighborhood well maintained.
We do however have concerns about the size and scope of this project. It seems there is a trend
evidenced by this and other projects in the Burlingame Hills area to maximize the size of homes that are
built to the absolute legal limit. It seems we are evolving to an area of bigger and bigger homes on the
same small lots. Our fear is we will lose the family neighborhood nature of the area and the open space
between properties that we now enjoy. Is this in keeping with the long term plans for the area?
In looking at the plans, we notice the increased height of the proposal. It appears the neighbor on the
west side will be impacted by a 24 foot wall they will have to look at through their east viewing
windows. We don't think it is fair to subject anyone to that circumstance. To us, it seems rude and
disrespectful to these long-time Burlingame residents. We doubt any board member would like to have
a 24' wall in their face, day in and day out.
We hope the commission will consider these comments and acceptable accommodation can be made.
Respectfully submitted,

Comments for August 10, 2015 Public Hearing
Regarding 2753 Burlingview Dr Design Review
Dear Commissioners,
This is a follow-up to the concerns I expressed to the design of the proposed residence at 2753
Burlingview Dr in my April 12, 2015 letter. Since my first letter, I have met with the owner and architect
of the proposed house as well as observed the story poles that were erected to outline the profile of the
house.
I believe that it might be appropriate to look at the application for the site at 2753 Burlingview Dr in
conjunction with the approval that was given for the new residence at 2747 Burlingview Dr. As the
Commission knows, both sites have the same owner and are using the services of the same architect.
Regarding 2747 Burlingview, approval was given to build a residence with an area of 4242 sq ft. While
this new house is at least twice the size of the typical house in the neighborhood, there seemed to be a
recognition in the permit application that consideration needed to be given to the mass of the new
building. At least as I read it, there were two statements in the paperwork that reflected this:
In the Special Permit application regarding the basement ceiling height, under question 1, the applicant
said:
"The garage for the proposed building is being below grade in order to keep the building as low as
possible (and lower than adjacent buildings)."
In a similar application regarding the attached garage, under question 1, the applicant said:
" The proposed building is being kept as low, or lower, than adjacent buildings by sinking the garage
below the rest of the building."
In looking at the application for 2753 Burlingview Dr, even though it's for the lot adjacent to the
owner's other house, I don't see any comments that express the same concerns about the building
being as low or lower than existing structures i.e, be consistent with the neighborhood's architecture.
Instead, the house at 2753 Burlingview will be designed to be as tall as possible. In addition, it is on a lot
adjacent to the crest of a 498 ft. hill. As such, its height will be further magnified with the result that its
roof will be some six to eight feet higher than my place on top of the hill.
There are at least two criteria on the Application for Design Review/Construction Permit that I believe
are not met by the current design for the proposed house at 2753 Burlingview:
^'Compatibility of the architectural style with that of the existing character of the neighborhood-
I believe that our neighborhood is correctly described as almost entirely consisting of single story, 2000
sq ft houses. The proposed house is two stories at maximum height and twice the area (4113 sq ft.) of
typical existing houses. That is not a definition of compatibility.
^'Interface of the proposed structure with adjacent structures-
In my earlier memo I mentioned that, if the proposed house is built, I would lose a view that I have out
of the window in my den on the eastside of my house. I was told that this view could not be protected.
So putting my earlier concerns aside, looking at the story poles that were erected for the proposed
house, I have a new concern. In my opinion, the house will have walls so high I am not sure that I will be
able to see the sky when I look out the window in my den. In addition I have a patio on the eastside of
my house that is, at the moment, completely private. If the proposed design is approved, I will lose this
privacy. The proposed house would loom over my patio.
Based on the proposed height of the house under review, I don't believe the interfacing between the
two houses shows "Respect for the neighbors existing conditions and utilization" as is suggested in the
City's Neighborhood Design Guidebook.
I invite all of the commission members to drop by my house and observe the interface between the two
structures that I am describing.
If the applicant receives approval for the proposed design, there will be two houses adjacent to each
other that have a combined area of about 8300 sq ft. That is the equivalent of building four
contemporary houses on two of our neighborhood lots. The addition of two houses of such large area
into the neighborhood is in itself a cause for concern over how they will impact the consistency of the
neighborhood's character.
But even more important, the proposed height of the house under review, in my opinion, indicates a
complete disregard for the feel of the neighborhood. This house, if it were built, would be like raising a
thirty foot wall on the eastside of my residence with the consequences mentioned above.
In light of the issues regarding the design that I've outlined, I request that the Commissioners ask the
applicant to reconsider the current design for 2753 Burlingview Dr.

Terry McAloon

Subject: Comments re2753 Burlingview Drive
Dear Burlingame Planning Commission Members:
I live directly across the street from the proposed remodel at 2753 Burlingview Drive and am
concerned about the scale of the structure that is being proposed. I would be happy to have you visit
our home at 2760 Burlingview Drive to see for yourself how out-of-proportion the proposed property
changes are in terms of the rest of the neighborhood.
I believe that the Planning Commission is mandated to take into account the existing structures in the
neighborhood before approving proposed changes. Our street is populated by one-story homes set
back from the street. The existing homes very nicely follow the line of the hillside. They are
unobtrusive looking - letting the natural beauty of the area and the view of the Bay be the focal
points.
What I love about living on Burlingview Drive is that when you turn from the upper part of Skyline onto
Burlingview, you go up a little rise and then you're at the top of the street. You literally feel like you're
on top of the world. We really feel that we are at the "summit" of Burlingame when we get
home. While the proposed home does not block our view of the water, it does block a lot of sky. It's
where we often see the moon rise and the stars shine. Another advantage of living where we do is
the lack of light pollution, so that the night sky really comes alive up here.
I would encourage members of the planning commission to come up to Burlingview to see for
themselves just how large a structure is being proposed. I was quite surprised when the flags went
up to mark the proposed height of the new house. I had been under the impression that the scate
would be somewhat in keeping with the current second story that is on the property. This is as if
they're building a three-story home.
The other new house on our block, the one next door, is being built for the same extended family. It
is modern and large but still fits in with the scale of the rest of the block. I understand that it was
designed by the same architectural firm. Like the existing homes on Burlingview, there seems to
have been some effort made to have it follow the natural line of the hillside, so it is less obstrusive
than what's being proposed at 2753. We really have no large, boxlike houses on our street - the one
large, two-story home on our street is set into the bend in the hill and therefore blends in better. It's
also at the bottom of the hill, not on our upper, more open, part of the street.
Please come take a look yourself. I would welcome planning commission members into my home to
see the proposed project and to further discuss this matter.
I am sure the owners and architects can come up with a different design. I've had a chance to chat
with the new owner on two occasions and with one of the architects when they were visiting the site
recently. At that time, they seemed open to trying to come up with a more fitting solution while still
being able to maximize the site to accommodate the owner's growing family.
We are looking forward to welcoming the new family to the neighborhood.
Sincerely,
Sandra Feder

Subject: Project at 2753 Burlingview Drive
Dear Erika:
Thank you for sending the plans for the project at 2753 Burlingview Drive. We have
looked them over and they seem essentially the same as we saw at city hall prior to
the first hearing. We continue to have concerns as expressed in our letter sent prior to
the first hearing which do not seem to have been remedied.
This week, the story poles were installed and we were shocked by the overall height
and shear magnitude of the new dwelling. Aside from continuing concerns for the
neighbor next to the project who's view and light space will be impinged, we feel the
project is exceptionally massive for a"low density" residential area such as Burlingview
terrace. The proposed dwelling will be much higher than the homes on either side and
directly across the street from the project. It seems the primary objective is to
maximize the allowable square footage that can be built on the lot. While this may be
economically lucrative, we will remind the commission that this is a residential area
where other objectives should be considered; it is not a high rises commercial area
where pure economics prevail. We would ask the commission and the builders to
reconsider the project with a view to modifications that reduce the impact on the
remaining neighbors.
Please invite the planning commissioners to come view the construction from inside
our home at 2754 Burlingview and the Feder's home at 2760 Burlingview Drive (per
their request). We were not able to connect to the email link for the commissioners on
the city's web site. We can be reached at 650-347-1994 or 650-464-3559.
Thanks for your help in contacting the planning commissioners.

Erika:
I am a homeowner at 2723 Burlingview Drive. I recently received a copy of the plans for the proposed improvements at
2753 Burlingview Drive and I have seen the story poles on the property. If the story poles represent the proposed mass of
the remodeled structure, the remodeled structure lacks connection to the existing neighborhood homes because it is
completely disproportionate to the scale of the neighborhood. This is an older neighborhood with a graciousness that
comes from the existing homes having a scale that is proportionate to each other with breathing space between the
homes. Burlingview is not a newer, McMansion-type street where homes bear no relationship to each other and are
squeezed onto their lots with minimal setbacks or consideration of their neighbors. Please accept this email as a vote
against the proposed added density and add it to the public record. Please also notify me of future meetings which I plan
to attend.

After reading some of the concerns from my neighbors, I thought it would be helpful to write this letter
and tell you a bit about my family and our plans to live at 2753 Burlingview.
My family and I are really looking forward to moving back to Burlingame and the neighborhood where I
grew up. My parents moved to the house adjacent to 2753 Burlingview (200 Bella Vista) in 1981, when I
was a 1-year old. My three siblings and I went to St. Catherine from Kindergarten through 8th Grade.
We all have fond memories of playing at Arthur's Toy Town and trading baseball cards at Video Magic
and Bob's.
My wife and I welcomed our 2"d child earlier this year, and we decided to move out of the city to
Burlingame, where we knew we would be in a family friendly community. We needed more space than
our 1,000 SF condo and wanted a yard where our children could play outside. We also wanted to be
around other growing families and know that good schools were nearby.
Additionally, my parents still live at 200 Bella Vista. As two working parents, being close to trusted and
willing babysitters is essential.
2753 Burlingview is the house our children will grow up in. As such, it is important to us that we are
good neighbors. I am happy to discuss any concerns my neighbors may have and make changes to our
plans provided that they are reasonable and do not affect my family's enjoyment of our home.
Having grown up in the neighborhood and now moving back to raise my children in the same
neighborhood, I truly feel we are preserving the "family neighborhood nature" of the area.

Alvin Chan

Dear Ms. Lewit, members of the planning commission and my neighbors on Burlingview,
My wife and I are looking forward to moving into the area and getting to know you all as neighbors. For
those of you we've already met, thank you for being so welcoming. The last thing we want is to start off
on the wrong foot with our neighbors because we plan on living here for a very long time.
Given the concerns that a few of you have voiced, I would like to clarify some things. First off, we are
not driven by what's "economically lucrative" or simply trying to "maximize the allowable square
footage". This house is designed to be the future home of our family and incorporates how we envision
raising our children.
As I mentioned in my previous letter, my wife and I welcomed our second child earlier this year, and we
hope to continue growing our family. The second story was designed so we could sleep on the same
floor as all our children. Also, my wife's parents live in Hong Kong and are of the age where the long
flight is becoming more and more difficult. When they visit, they normally stay for two to three months
so they can spend time with their grandchildren. We wanted to make sure that our home had a
guestroom that they would be comfortable living in for these long trips.
I understand that the house looks big compared to the one-story homes next door and across the street.
This is largely a result of the slope of our lot that requires the first floor to be almost seven feet higher
than the curb. Please also consider that there are two very large trees in the front of our lot on both the
west and east sides. These trees block the house from almost every view from the street except the
area in front of the driveway that is portrayed by the rendering.
Finally, I grew up next door to this house and know this neighborhood very well. Burlingview Drive is
surrounded by Hillsborough, and you pass countless huge homes as you drive here from almost any
direction. Our home is designed fully within the regulations of the R-1 district, the lowest density
residential zone. We have met with our neighbor, Mr. McAloon a number of times and have already
made modifications to provide additional setbacks that are even further within regulations. I definitely
want to be respectful to the concerns of my neighbors, but please consider that this is our home and
any additional modifications will have a much larger impact on my family than anyone else.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you would like to discuss further. I would love the opportunity to
meet you and show you that we are a nice family and will make great neighbors!
Sincerely,
Alvin Chan

Design Review Study
City of Burlingame
Design Review and Hillside Area Construction Permit
Address: 2753 Burlingview Drive Meeting Date: July 13, 2015
Request: Application for Design Review and Hillside Area Construction Permit for a major renovation of an
existing single family dwelling that includes first and second floor additions.
Applicant and Architect: Richard Terrones, Dreiling Terrones Architecture, Inc.
Property Owner: Alvin Chan
General Plan; Low Density Residential
APN: 027-261-030
Lot Area: 10,000
Zoning: R-1
Project History: This project went before the Planning Commission as a Design Review Study item at the April
13, 2015 Planning Commission meeting (see the attached April 13, 2015 Planning Commission minutes). The
Commission requested revisions to be made by the architect. The revised project is being brought back to
Design Review Study for a second time so that the applicant can get any additional design input from the
Commission prior to erecting and surveying story poles for the Hillside Area Construction Permit. The applicant
has submitted a response letter, dated May 28, 2015, to detail the revisions made to the design and to review
view concerns from the neighbor to the right side of the subject property.
Project Description: The existing house is two stories with an attached garage. The applicant is requesting
Design Review and Hillside Area Construction Permit for first and second story additions. The proposed floor
area for the new house will be 4,113 SF (0.41 FAR) where 4,300 (0.43 FAR) is the maximum allowed on site
(including covered porch exemptions).
With the proposed project, the existing second floor will be demolished, as well as portions of the existing left
side of the house that have non-conforming side setbacks. The existing attached garage will remain, and there
will be first floor additions at the rear of the existing house, as well as a new second story.
The applicant is requesting a Hillside Area Construction Permit for this major renovation and first and second
story additions. The existing highest ridge, at the left side of the house, is 24'-0" above average top of curb and
the height of the highest section of the flat roof (at the center of the house) for the new second story addition is
30'-0" above average top of curb.
The exterior walls of the existing attached garage and the existing code-complaint uncovered parking space in
the driveway leading to the garage will remain. The number of bedrooms on site will be increased from 4 to 5
and the on-site parking requirement will be increased from two spaces (1 covered, 1 uncovered) to three spaces
(2 covered spaces, 1 uncovered parking space). The interior width of the garage will not be altered; it provides
the minimum width for two covered parking spaces (18'-0" existing and proposed). Several interior structures
(such as a furnace, water heater, and stairs) will be removed to increase the interior length in the garage.
Because the parking space length is being altered, the required length must be 20'-0" to comply with code
regulations and the revised design provides 20'-0", eliminating the previous request for a parking variance.
There is a protected size tree at the left, front side of the property that will be retained with construction. The
applicant has submitted a Certified Arborist Report, date stamped March 11, 2015, to detail protection measures.
The applicant is requesting the following applications:
■ Design review for a second story addition (C.S. 25.57.010,a,2); and
■ Hillside Area Construction Permit (C.S. 25.61.020).

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;
3. Architectural style and mass and bulk of structure;
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.
Required Findings for Hillside Area Construction Permit: Review of a Hillside Area Construction Permit by
the Planning Commission shall be based upon obstruction by construction of the existing distant views of nearby
properties. Emphasis shall be given to the obstruction of distant views from habitable areas within a dwelling

> The front view of the house is eing altered in a negative way.
> The mass of the side vations is increased by the second floor sheer-wall addition. The dormers
should be made subordinat o the main roof.
> Noticed the tall fen on one side of the driveway; was it done with permits? (Morris - wasn't aware
of the code require nt at the time. Was installed because there is no back-yard; the side-yard serves
as the yard area.) fo correct this issue.
> Agrees with omments about the shed roof.
> Has any hought been given fo making the windows consistent? (Stachnuik - is difficult to make
them cons� tent. Intends to use the windows with grids to match the windows on the front of the house.

> The design is not truly Mid-Century Modern.
Public comments:
Terry McA/oon, 2969 Burlingview Drive: expressed concern about size, mass and bulk of house. Twice
the size of most homes in the area. The lof is similar in size to all other lots in the area. Concerned
about losing the open view and parfial Bay view from hrs house. Requested story poles.
Vice-Chair DeMartini closed the public hearing.

> Could warrant design reviewer, but fee/s that the firm has the ability fo address the design concerns.
> Doesn't feel that conditions warrant the parking variance in this instance, based upon the arguments
presented in the application.
Commissioner Sargent made a motion, seconded by Commissioner Loftis, to place the item on
the regular action calendar when ready for action, with further direction to erect story poles for
the project once revisions to the design are completed, prior to consideration by the

RE: 2753 Burlingview drive — Response to Comments, 4/13/2015 Study Meeting
Dear Commissioners and Staff
Thank you for your consideration of our project and your comments at the Study Meeting on 4/13/15. We have re-
visited the project design with the Applicant (Alvin Chan) and we have made several changes in response to the
Commission's comments. In working with Planning Staff, we have collectively determined that it is best to re-visit the
Project with the Commission at a second Study Meeting rather than proceed to Action. This should allow us to get
some feedback on the Architecture of the Project, prior to revising the story poles and proceeding to Action. We have
re-visited the view issues with the adjacent neighbor, Mr. McAloon at 2759 Burlingview Drive, prior to revising the
project. If the Architectural revisions are generally acceptable, we will again visit with Mr. McAloon once the story
poles have been revised. Below are photographs from the view windows in Mr. McAloon's house.

Response to Planning Commission Comments
Page 2
The following is a list of the revisions we have made to the Architecture of the Project.
Lower Floor Plan:
• Main entry wall pushed out to receive new central vertical element also allowing more space in the foyer
area
• With the enlarged foyer, the garage stair has been relocated to allow for a conforming garage interior length
of 21'-2" thus removing the need for any variance request
Upper Floor Plan:
• Bedroom 4 wall pushed in to provide more setback distance to the adjacent neighbor. Reflected in the
South and West elevations
• The bedrooms and bath along the North side of the upper floor have been adjusted to allow for the new
window configurations and the central vertical element. This revision is also reflected in the North elevation
• Master bedroom and Master bathroom have been flipped, thus allowing a master balcony in the front over
the existing garage. This also reduces the potential of cutting excessive amounts of the adjacent sequoia
tree limbs. This also allowed for a better opportunity to further sculpt the North and East elevations
North Elevation:
• A unifying central vertical element (with wood siding) has been incorporated into the design. This organizes
the main front elevation into three (3) distinct elements: the vertical center piece, with horizontal elements at
either side.
• Upper right corner of the front fagade has been stepped back in response to potential view issues from the
adjacent neighbor. The window layout remains the same.
• The upper decorative band has been removed and the roof line has been lowered 1'-9" to a total height of
21'-11" above finished floor.
• An awning has been added above the lower floor windows
• The laundry room window has been revised to a vertical casement window to match the adjacent window
layout
• A separate awning has been added over the main front entry door.
• Upper left corner has been stepped back in various locations with a balcony off the Master Bedroom to
create a more sculpted elevation, particularly where the existing large sequoia tree is located.
2747 Burlingview Drive
Response to Planning Commission Comments

• A new awning has been added above the upper level master bedroom balcony doors to give shelter from
the weather.
• NOTE: This second floor balcony faces the street, does not overlook any rear yards, and is sheltered from
the front yard of 2747 Burlingview Drive (same owners) by the sequoia tree.
East Elevation:
• Upper Floor elevation revised to reflect the new floor plan configuration
• The upper right side is stepped back to create the master balcony which is reflected on the North elevation
• New awning over the master bathroom that has been relocated to the left side of the elevation as reflected
on the upper level floor plan
• New window configurations to reflect the new floor plan layout
South Elevation:
• Upper left band element removed and roof lowered to reflect the West and North elevations.
• The left wall has been pushed in to give more setback distance to the adjacent neighbor
• Upper right balcony and awning removed to reflect revised floor plan, A new comer window in the master
bathroom with a small awning above, and turning over to the East elevation
West Elevation:
• Reduced the size of the upper bedroom window facing the adjacent neighbor. Changed to two (2} vertical
casement windows that are on both sides of the new bed wall
• Decorative band element has been removed and roof lowered to reflect the North and South elevations
• The upper level wall is stepped back to allow more setback distance to the adjacent neighbor
• The upper left wall is also stepped back even further to reduce the amount of wall mass as viewed from the
neighbors office window
Thank you for your further consideration of our project.
Sincerely,

Best Manaqement Practice
Control and prevent the discharge of all potential pollutants, including pavement cutting
wastes, paints, concrete, petroleum products, chemicals, wash water or sediments, rinse
water from architectural copper, and non-stormwater discharges to storm drains and
Store, handle, and dispose of construction materials/wastes properly to prevent contact with
stormwater.
Do not clean, fuel, or maintain vehicles on-site, except in a designated area where wash
water is contained and treated.
Train and provide instruction to all employees/subcontractors re: construction BMPs.
Protect all storm drain inlets in vicinity of site using sediment controls such as berms, fiber
rolls, or filters.
Limit construction access routes and stabilize designated access points.
Attach the San Mateo Countywide Water Pollution Prevention Program's construction BMP
plan sheet to project plans and require contractor to implement the applicable BMPs on the
olan sheet.
Use temporary erosion controls to stabilize all denuded areas until permanent erosion
controls are established.
Delineate with field markers clearing limits, easements, setbacks, sensitive or critical areas,
buffer zones, trees, and drainage courses.
Provide notes, specifications, or attachments describing the following:
■ Construction, operation and maintenance of erosion and sediment controls, include
inspection frequency;
■ Methods and schedule for grading, excavation, filling, clearing of vegetation, and storage
and disposal of excavated or cleared material;
■ Specifications for vegetative cover & mulch, include methods and schedules for planting
and fertilization;
• Provisions for temporary and/or permanent irriqation.
Perform clearing and earth moving activities only during dry weather.
� ER1.1 Use sediment controls or filtration to remove sediment when dewatering and obtain all
necessary permits.
� ER1.1 Trap sediment on-site, using BMPs such as sediment basins or traps, earthen dikes or berms,
silt fences, check dams, soil blankets or mats, covers for soil stock piles, etc.
� ER1.1 Divert on-site runoff around exposed areas; divert off-site runoff around the site (e.g., swales
and dikesl.
� ER1.1 Protect adjacent properties and undisturbed areas from construction impacts using vegetative
buffer strips, sediment barriers or filters, dikes, mulching, or other measures as appropriate.

Burlingame, CA 94010
Site: 2753 Burlingview, Burlingame, CA
Dear Mr. Rojas,
As requested on Monday, November 17, 2014, I visited the above site for the purpose of
inspecting and commenting on the trees. A new home is planned for this site and your concern
as to the future health and safety of the trees has prompted this visit. An air spade was used to
dig an exploratory trench along the existing house to help detect root damage and possible future
root loss.
Method:
All inspections were made from the ground; the tree was not climbed for this inspection. The
tree in question was located on a site plan provided by you. The trees were then measured for
diameter at 54 inches above ground level (DBH or diameter at breast height). Each tree was
given a condition rating for form and vitality. The trees' condition rating is based on 50 percent
vitality and 50 percent form, using the following scale.
1 - 29 Very Poor
30 - 49 Poor
50 - 69 Fair
70 - 89 Good
90 - 100 Excellent
The height of the trees were measured using a Nikon Forestry 550 Hypsometer. The spread was
paced off. Comments and recommendations for future maintenance are provided.
An Exploratory trench was dug to help locate roots and help predict root loss. A Supersonic Air
Knife was used for the trenching. The air knife uses compressed air to dig the trench. The use of
the air knife reduces root damage when digging the trench. A sliding handled soil probe was
also to attempt to locate roots below the depth of the trench.

2753 Burlingview/12/15/14 (2)
Observations:
The tree in question is a giant sequoia
(Sequoiadendron gigantean) with an estimated
diameter at breast height of 40 inches. The tree is
located in the front of the property north of the
existing garage and southwest of a new home being
built. The estimated height of the sequoia is 50 feet
with a total crown spread of 35 feet. The vigor of
the tree is fair-good with normal shoot growth for
the species. The form of the tree is fair with a
straight trunk and a fair live crown ration.
The tree has suffered moderate to heavy root loss
from the excavation required to facilitate the
building of the home. Several roots up to 3 inches
in diameter. The roots were cut clean with a saw
and impacts to the tree appear to be moderate.
Exploratory trench being dug near the garage of the existing home.
The exploratory trench exposed an abundance of
small roots and no large roots along the edge of the
garage. It appears roots were cut some time ago and
the small roots are the results of that past root
cutting. Large roots were unearthed neat the patio
and at the entrance to the crawl space. The unearthed
root appears to be the cause of the damage to the rat
proofing in the crawl space.
Small roots unearthed near garage of existing
house at 2753 Burlingview. Roots appear to have
been severed in years past.
2753 Burlingview/12/15/14 (3)
Summary:
The construction at 2747 and the proposed construction at 2753 Burlingview will have moderate
to heavy impacts of the giant sequoia tree located between the construction sites. The impacts to
the tree will be mitigated by heavier than normal irrigation during the warm season months. The
stability of the tree does not to appear to be compromised at this point. More will be known and
mitigating measures will be adjusted as construction starts at 2753 Burlingview. The following
tree protection plan will help to reduce impacts to the large tree.
Tree Protection Plan:
Tree protection zones should be established and maintained throughout the entire length of the
project. Fencing for the protection zones should be 6 foot tall metal chain link type supported
my 2 inch metal poles pounded into the ground by no less than 2 feet. The support poles should
be spaced no more than 10 feet apart on center. The location for the protection fencing should be
as close to the dripline as possible still allowing room for construction to safely continue. Signs
should be placed on fencing signifying "Tree Protection Zone - Keep Out". No materials or
equipment should be stored or cleaned inside the tree protection zones. Areas outside the
fencing but still beneath the dripline of protected trees, where foot traffic is expected to be heavy,
should be mulched with 4 to 6 inches of chipper chips. The wooden fencing will suffice for the
neighbor's trees.
Trenching for irrigation, electrical, drainage or any other reason should be hand dug when
beneath the driplines of protected trees. Hand digging and carefully laying pipes below or beside
protected roots will dramatically reduce root loss of desired trees thus reducing trauma to the
entire tree. Trenches should be backfilled as soon as possible with native material and
compacted to near its original level. Trenches that must be left exposed for a period of time
should also be covered with layers of burlap or straw wattle and kept moist. Plywood over the
top of the trench will also help protect exposed roots below.
Normal irrigation should be maintained throughout the entire length of the project. The imported
trees on this site will require irrigation during the warm season months. Some irrigation may be
required during the winter months depending on the seasonal rainfall. During the summer
months the trees on this site should receive heavy flood type irrigation 2 times a month. During
the fall and winter 1 time a month should suffice. Mulching the root zone of protected trees will
help the soil retain moisture, thus reducing w�ter consumption.
The information included in this report is believed to be true and based on sound arboricultural
principles and practices.

CDD — PLANNING DIV.
Subject: Public Hearing Notice for
Design Review for a Single Family
Residence at 2753 Burlingview Dr.
April 12, 2015
Dear Ms. Lewit,
My name is Terry McAloon. I live at 2759 Burlingview Dr. which is the house next store
to the west of the residence at 2753 Burlingview Dr. I am writing you regarding concerns that I have
over the design of the proposed residence at 2753 Burlingview Dr. They are as follows:
A. Lack of Compliance with the Citv of Burlin�ame Nei�hborhood Guidebook-
My house is a one story single family dwelling with approximately 1800 sq ft. There are three
single story residences across the street from the proposed dwelling. Based on data from the
Zillow website, two of these homes consist of some 1700 sq ft in area. I'm not able to determine
the area of the third house. In looking at the other houses on Burlingview Dr. using Zillow, in my
opinion, the average house is a single story residence with approximately 2000 sq ft of living
space. The proposed new house will have two stories and an area of 4118 sq ft. orjust about
twice the size of the typical Burlingview Dr. home. I believe such a house is not compatible with
our neighborhood and I reference the following statements from the Guidebook:
i) "Component 5: Mass, Bulk and Scale
a) Design Review Criteria:
A compatible design will respect the scale of the existing neighborhood. It will use
methods and include elements which support the scale of example houses in the
neighborhood.
The scale of the residence should be consistent with the example residences in the
neighborhood.
b) Mass and Building Plan
When designing additions it is often tempting to fill in recesses in a building footprint,
resulting in simpler rectangular forms. This will typically result in a more massive
building that will not support neighborhood compatibility.
04.13.15 PC Meeting
Item #9b
2753 Burlingview Drive
Page 2 of 3
ii) Component 4- Location of Additions
When placing a second story space, attempt toward the center of the property. Where
sensible from an interior planning perspective, pull portions of the space away from the
property line."
Based on my reading of the above sections of the Design Guidebook, I have the
following questions regarding the design of the residence under review:
Does a house designed to have twice the number of stories and twice the square
footage of neighboring homes, meet the criteria of being consistent with the
example residences in the neighborhood?
2. The footprint of the house seems to be a large rectangle that is recommended
against in the Mass and Building Plan section of the Guidelines.
3. Was any attempt made to follow the Guidelines regarding locating the second story
space towards the center of the property? This has a particular application on my
comments below.
4. Will your review recommend the installation of story poles to depict the bulk and
mass of the proposed structure?
B. Direct Impact of Proqosed House on Mv Residence-
I currently have a view from a window on the eastside of my house that gives me a site-line of
several hundred feet. (There is even a small sliver of a view of the bay from the window). What I
understand from looking at the plans for the new house is that the outer wall on the west-side
of the current house is 8.5 ft. The plan for the new building will raise this up to 24 ft. If this is
correct, then it seems that my basic view would be reduced to looking at the wall of the new
house. If my view is so restricted, I think it defeats the purpose of the statement in the Design
Guidebook under Component 1: Building Location that says the following:
"One of the defining characteristics of most Burlingame neighborhoods is the sense of space
that occurs between houses. Historically this sense of space and distance was one of the original
design criteria for most neighborhoods. Residents were seeking the space and feel of a less
urban environment while having access to numerous urban and community amenities."
So I'd ask that in your review if you would consider if any change in the height of the 24 ft wall
can be made.
I can't help but comment on the irony that seems to arise in the design/construction of the new
house. As I understand the plan, it will include the demolition of the `east wing' of the existing
house. This structure has been the bane of our existence since it was built since it took a good

part of our view. (I have to wonder if it would even be allowed to be built now). But in tearing
down this structure, I believe that a fairly decent view of the bay and even Mt Diablo would be
visible from our window. The irony is that the new building would then come along and take the
view away again. (It would be quite an achievement if somehow an arrangement could be
worked out where the owner of the new house gets a place that's compatible with everyone
and we get our view back!)
I appreciate you and your colleagues giving consideration to my comments on the design of the
new house at 2753 Burlingview Dr.

Regarding: Public Nearing Notice for Design Review for a Single Family at 2753 Burlingview Drive.
Dear Ms. Lewit and members of the planning commission:
My wife and I are owners and residents of the home across the street from the proposed project. In
general, we are pleased to see upgrades and improvements in the area as they may improve the values
of homes in the area and potentially keep the neighborhood well maintained.
We do however have concerns about the size and scope of this project. It seems there is a trend
evidenced by this and other projects in the Burlingame Hills area to maximize the size of homes that are
built to the absolute legal limit. It seems we are evolving to an area of bigger and bigger homes on the
same small lots. Our fear is we will lose the family neighborhood nature of the area and the open space
between properties that we now enjoy. Is this in keeping with the long term plans for the area?
In looking at the plans, we notice the increased height of the proposal. It appears the neighbor on the
west side will be impacted by a 24 foot wall they will have to look at through their east viewing
windows. We don't think it is fair to subject anyone to that circumstance. To us, it seems rude and
disrespectful to these long-time Burlingame residents. We doubt any board member would like to have
a 24' wall in their face, day in and day out.
We hope the commission will consider these comments and acceptable accommodation can be made.
Respectfully submitted,
Gary E. Payne and Catherine A. Payne

After reading some of the concerns from my neighbors, I thought it �vould be helpful to write this letter
and tell you a bit about my family and our plans to live at 2753 Burlingview.
My family and I are really looking forward to moving back to Burlingame and the neighborhood where I
grew up. My parents moved to the house adjacent to 2753 Burlingview (200 Bella Vista) in 1981, when I
was a 1-year old. My three siblings and I went to St. Catherine from Kindergarten through 8th Grade.
We all have fond memories of playing at Arthur's Toy Town and trading baseball cards at Video Magic
and Bob's.
My wife and I welcomed our 2"d child earlier this year, and we decided to move out of the city to
Burlingame, where we knew we would be in a family friendly community. We needed more space than
our 1,000 SF condo and wanted a yard where our children could play outside. We also wanted to be
around other growing families and know that good schools were nearby.
Additionally, my parents still live at 200 Bella Vista. As two working parents, being close to trusted and
willing babysitters is essential.
2753 Burlingview is the house our children will grow up in. As such, it is important to us that we are
good neighbors. I am happy to discuss any concerns my neighbors may have and make changes to our
plans provided that they are reasonable and do not affect my family's enjoyment of our home.
Having grown up in the neighborhood and now moving back to rai� my children in the same
neighborhood, I truly feel we are preserving the "family neighborhood nature" of the area.
Sincerely,
Alvin Chan

Design Review Stu�fy �
City of Burlingame
Design Review, Hillside Area Construcfion Permit, and Parking Variance
Address: 2753 Burlingview Drive Meeting Date: April 13, 2015
Request: Application for Design Review, Hillside Area Construction Permit, and Parking Variance for a major
renovation of an existing single family dwelling that includes first floor additions and a new second
floor.
Applicant and Architect: Richard Terrones, Dreiling Terrones Architecture, Inc.
Property Owner: Alvin Chan
General Plan: Low Density Residential
APN: 027-261-030
Lot Area: 10,000
Zoning: R-1
Project Description: The existing house is two stories with an attached garage. The applicant is requesting
Design Review for first and second story additions, Hillside Area Construction Permit, and a Parking Variance for
the length of two covered parking spaces. The proposed floor area for the new house will be 4,118 SF (0.41
FAR) where 4,300 (0.43 FAR) is the maximum allowed on site (including covered porch exemptions).
With the proposed project, the existing second floor will be demolished, as well as portions of the existing left
side of the house that have non-conforming side setbacks. The existing attached garage will remain, and there
will be first floor additions at the rear of the existing house as well as a new second story.
The applicant is requesting a Hillside Area Construction Permit for this major renovation, first floor addition and
new second story. The existing highest ridge, at the left side of the house, is 24'-0" above average top of curb
and the height of the flat roof for the new second story addition is 30'-0" above average top of curb.
The applicant is requesting a Parking Variance for the length of two covered parking spaces. The exteriorwalls
of the existing attached garage and the existing code-complaint uncovered parking space in the driveway
leading to the garage will remain. The number of bedrooms on site will be increased from 4 to 5 and the on-site
parking requirement will be increased from two spaces (1 covered, 1 uncovered) to three spaces (2 covered
spaces, 1 uncovered parking space). The interior width of the garage will not be altered; it provides the
minimum width for two covered parking spaces (18'-0" existing and proposed). Several interior structures (such
as a furnace, water heater, and stairs) will be removed or re-built to increase the interior length in the garage.
Because the parking space length is being altered, the required length must be 20'-0" to comply with code
regulations, where 18'-0" is proposed to the new stair configuration; therefore the applicant is requesting a
parking variance for the length of the two covered spaces.
There is a protected size tree at the left, front side of the property that will be retained with construction. The
applicant has submitted a Certified Arborist Report, date stamped March 11, 2015, to det-�il protection measures.
The applicant is requesting the following applications:
■ Design review for a second story addition (C.S. 25.57.010,a,2); and
■ Hillside Area Construction Permit (C.S. 25.61.020); and
■ Parking Variance for covered parking space length for two spaces (C.S. 25.27.020,b).

the minimum required) (C.S. 25.27.020,b).
Staff Comments: See attached memos from the Chief Building Official, Fire Division, Engineering Division,
Parks Division, and Stormwater Division.
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:
1. 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;
3. Architectural style and mass and bulk of structure;
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.

Design Review, Hillside Area Construction Permif and Parking Variance 2753 Burlingview Drive
Required Findings for Variance: In order to grant a variance the Planning Commission must find that the
following conditions exist on the property (Code Section 25.54.020 a-d):
(a) there are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable to the property involved
that do not apply generally to property in the same district;
(b) the granting of the application is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property
right of the applicant, and to prevent unreasonable property loss or unnecessary hardship;
(c) the granting of the application 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; and
(d) that the use of the property will be compatible with the aesthetics, mass, bulk and character of existing
and potential uses of properties in the general vicinity.
Required Findings for Hillside Area Construction Permit: Review of a Hillside Area Construction Permit by
the Planning Commission shall be based upon obstruction by construction of the existing distant views of nearby
properties. Emphasis shall be given to the obstruction of distant views from habitable areas within a dwelling
unit (Code Sec. 25.61.060).

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT • 501 PRIMROSE ROAD • BURLINGAME, CA 94010
p: 650.558.7250 • f: 650.696.3790 • www.burlingame.org
This application is for the existing non-conforming length of the garage. The current interior length is 16'-4" with the intruding
stair and an proposed 18'-0" interior length is part of this project with the rearranged stair. The garage currently is on a up
slope therefore if they front wall were relocated, the driveway would need to be reconstructed and causing it to be steeper.
The interior wall cannot be relocated with out major reconstruction of the kitchen area.
b. Explain why the variance request is necessary for fhe preservation and enjoyment of a
substantial property right and what unreasonable property loss or unnecessary
hardship might result from the denial of the application.
c.
We are proposing to re-adjust the existing garage stair to be able to adjust the current 16'-4" interior length to 18'-0" interior
length. To be able to provide the required 20'-0" length, there would be significant modification to the kitchen by allowing the
stair to be pushed back another 2'-0". By adjusting the front garage wall, the existing driveway and slope would have to be
completely re-built and adjusted. the Variance consideration is necessary in order to provide a two car covered parking with
out rebuilding the entire garage.
Explain why the proposed use at the proposed /ocation will nof be detrimental or
injurious to property or improvements in the vicinity or to public health, safety,
general welfare or convenience.
The proposed use at the proposed location will not be detrimental or injurious because there will be (2) covered parking
spots instead of the original (1) covered parking spot, thus removing a car from parking on the road. The modification to
the stair is interior, with no change to the exterior of the garage.
d. How will fhe proposed project be compatible wifh the aesthetics, mass, bulk and
character of the exisfing and potential uses on adjoining properties in the general
vicinity?
The proposed project will not change in location it is currently in, thus it will be compatible with the aesthetics, mass,
bulk and character of the general vicinity

5 Per the MRP, pavement that meets the following definition of pervious pavement is NOT an impervious surface. Pervious pavement is
defined as pavement that stores and infiltrates rainfall at a rate equal to immediately surrounding unpaved, landscaped areas, or that stores
and infiltrates the rainfall runoff volume described in Provision C.3.
6"Retained" means to leave existing impervious surfaces in place, unchanged; "Replaced" means to install new impervious surface where
existing impervious surface is removed anywhere on the same property; and "Created" means the amount of new impervious surface being
proposed which exceeds the total existing amount of impervious surFace at the property.

Attn: Mr. Carlos Rojas
1 103 Juanita Avenue
Burlingame, CA 94010
Site: 2753 Burlingview, Burlingame, CA
Dear Mr. Rojas,
As requested on Monday, November 17, 2014, I visited the above site for the purpose of
inspecting and commenting on the trees. A new home is planned for this site and your concern
as to the future health and safety of the trees has prompted this visit. An air spade was used to
dig an exploratory trench along the existing house to help detect root damage and possible future
root loss.
Method:
All inspections were made from the ground; the tree was not climbed for this inspection. The
tree in question was located on a site plan provided by you. The trees were then measured for
diameter at 54 inches above ground level (DBH or diameter at breast height). Each tree was
given a condition rating for form and vitality. The trees' condition rating is based on 50 percent
vitality and 50 percent form, using the following scale.
1 - 29 Very Poor
30 - 49 Poor
50 - 69 Fair
70 - 89 Good
90 - 100 Excellent
The height of the trees were measured using a Nikon Forestry 550 Hypsometer. The spread was
paced of£ Comments and recommendations for future maintenance are provided.
An Exploratory trench was dug to help locate roots and help predict root loss. A Supersonic Air
Knife was used for the trenching. The air knife uses compressed air to dig the trench. The use of
the air knife reduces root damage when digging the trench. A sliding handled soil probe was
also to attempt to locate roots below the depth of the trench.

2753 Burlingview/12/15/14 (2)
Observations:
The tree in yuestion is a giant sequoia
(Sequoiadendron gigantean) with an estimated
diameter at breast height of 40 inches. The tree is
located in the front of the property north of the
existing garage and southwest of a new home being
built. The estimated height of the sequoia is 50 feet
with a total crown spread of 35 feet. The vigor of
the tree is fair-good with normal shoot growth for
the species. The form of the tree is fair with a
straight trunk and a fair live crown ration.
The tree has suffered moderate to heavy root loss
from the excavation required to facilitate the
building of the home. Several roots up to 3 inches
in diameter. The roots were cut clean with a saw
and impacts to the tree appear to be moderate.
Exploratory trench being dug near the garage of the existing home.
The exploratory trench exposed an abundance of
small roots and no large roots along the edge of the
garage. It appears roots were cut some time ago and
the small roots are the results of that past root
cutting. Large roots were unearthed neat the patio
and at the entrance to the crawl space. The unearthed
root appears to be the cause of the damage to the rat
proofing in the crawl space.
Small roots unearthed near garage of existing
house at 2753 Burlingview. Roots appear to have
been severed in years past.
2753 Burlingview/12/15/14 (3)
Summary:
The construction at 2747 and the proposed construction at 2753 Burlingview will have moderate
to heavy impacts of the giant sequoia tree located between the construction sites. The impacts to
the tree will be mitigated by heavier than normal irrigation during the warm season months. The
stability of the tree does not to appear to be compromised at this point. More will be known and
mitigating measures will be adjusted as construction starts at 2753 Burlingview. The following
tree protection plan wil] help to reduce impacts to the large tree.
Tree Protection Plan:
Tree protection zones should be established and maintained throughout the entire length of the
project. Fencing for the protection zones should be 6 foot tall metal chain link type supported
my 2 inch metal poles pounded into the ground by no less than 2 feet. The support poles should
be spaced no more than 10 feet apart on center. The location for the protection fencing should be
as close to the dripline as possible still allowing room for construction to safely continue. Signs
should be placed on fencing signifying "Tree Protection Zone - Keep Out". No materials or
equipment should be stored or cleaned inside the tree protection zones. Areas outside the
fencing but still beneath the dripline of protected trees, where foot traffic is expected to be heavy,
should be mulched with 4 to 6 inches of chipper chips. The wooden fencing will suffice for the
neighbor's trees.
Trenching for irrigation, electrical, drainage or any other reason should be hand dug when
beneath the driplines of protected trees. Hand digging and carefully laying pipes below or beside
protected roots will dramatically reduce root loss of desired trees thus reducing trauma to the
entire tree. Trenches should be backfilled as soon as possible with native material and
compacted to near its original level. Trenches that must be left exposed for a period of time
should also be covered with layers of burlap or straw wattle and kept moist. Plywood over the
top of the trench will also help protect exposed roots below.
Normal irrigation should be maintained throughout the entire length of the project. The imported
trees on this site will require irrigation during the warm season months. Some irrigation may be
required during the winter months depending on the seasonal rainfall. During the summer
months the trees on this site should receive heavy flood type irrigation 2 times a month. During
the fall and winter 1 time a month should suffice. Mulching the root zone of protected trees will
help the soil retain moisture, thus reducing water consumption.
The information included in this report is believed to be true and based on sound arboricultural
principles and practices.
Sincerely,
Kevin R. Kielty
