PUBLIC HEARING - APPEAL FOR HILLSIDE AREA CONSTRUCTION PERMIT FOR ADDITION TO 2760 BURLINGVIEW - DENIED WITHOUT PREJUDICE City Planner reviewed her memo of July 27, 1993 which recommended council hold a public hearing and take action. The architect, James Chu, is requesting a hillside area construction permit to add a second floor of 1106.5 SF and add 114.6 SF on the first floor of the single story house at 2760 Burlingview. Two neighbors across the street called the project up for review by the Planning Commission. The Planning Commission voted unanimously to deny the request; previously the applicant submitted a project for a new, substantially larger house to be built on the site. That project was continued by the commission because of view unpact. The applicant chose to withdraw the new house proposal and submitted the current proposal to remodel the existing house. A letter in opposition from the Erwins was received after preparation of report. HARRISON, KNIGHT, LEMBI, O'MAHONY, PAGLIARO NONE Mayor Harrison opened the public hearing. The architects, James Chu and Jennie Wong, were present and noted that most of the view is more impacted by trees; told how they attempted to � y reduce the amount of impact; agreed the Erwins' view from kitchen eating area would be affected; presented booklets to council with photographs of views from various sites; did not believe views were signi�cantly affected. Council asked if the property owner planned to continue renting this property or to sell it; why had they not talked to neighbors about addition; agreed most of view is blocked by trees; asked if applicant was aware of ciry laws about views; Chu responded the owner plans to live there and they are aware of city laws. Mayor Harrison closed the hearing. Council discussed visits to site; thought architect could find a method to reduce impact of view loss; would like to deny without prejudice so they can come back directly to council; plans are very well done; there is little view being blocked; this project similar to another a couple years ago, could approve with a little "reshaping"; lower roof line in corridor between trees to reduce view loss to the Erwin property; council had concern about second stories in hillside area. Councilwoman O'Mahony moved to deny this project without prejudice in order for the architect to redesign and come back to council. Seconded by Councilwoman Knight, carried unanimously by roll call vote. � \� M1�1 �1�� l��\ �T.d!Gl�I - CP 93 Yublic orks Director reviewed his memo of July 16 which recommended council hri�"d a public hearing a d adopt a resolution fixing the assessment in accordance with the attached report.

Seconded by Councilwoman Knight, in the alley behind Paloma; Director said l Director to correspond with the resident. Public Works Director r iewed his memo of July 26 which r�commended council introduce this ordinance and hold a' lic hearing. EPA regulations require tF�t operation and maintenance costs of the public sewer stem be paid from user fees and the EPA sp ifies the method of calculating the rate based on ow and loading. In calculating the rate, the reve�}e required was reduced by the estimated amoun to be received from Burlingame Hills and Hillsborou`g�i based on agreements with those entities a� their flows and loadings were removed from the progr . The proposed rates were based on'the adopted 1993-94 budget and included a bond debt of $1, 9,166 and capital improvement'funds of $200,000. The bond debt increased substantially becau`s� payment on the COPs for the current expansion is due in 1993. Proposed rates show an increase�°of 7 to 10.7 percent. Since council will have only one meeting in August, the second reading and adoption . There �ere no comments; the hearing was closed. 2
