Lot Area: 16,942 SF
Zoning: R-1
Environmental Review Status: The project is Categorically Exempt from review pursuant to the California

August 12, 2013, Regular Action Meeting: At the Planning Commission RegularAction meeting on August 12,
2013, the Commission had several questions and comments regarding the proposed landscape screening
between the subject property and the neighboring properties on Drake Avenue and regarding the proposed
railing for the wooden walkway along the right side of the house. It voted to continue the item to the Regular
Action Calendar when the plans have been revised as directed (August 12, 2013, Planning Commission
Minutes).
The applicant submitted a response letter and revised plans on August 14, 2013, and e-mail correspondence
with the neighbors on August 15, 2013, to address the Planning Commission's comments. The response letter
from the applicant identifies all changes made to the proposed project. Please refer to the copy of the August
12, 2013 Planning Commission minutes included in the staff report forthe list of Planning Commission questions
and comments.
Project Description: The applicant is proposing to demolish an existing single story house with an attached
garage and to build a new, two-story single family dwelling with an attached garage. The proposed house and
attached garage will have a total floor area of 4,545 SF (0.27 FAR) where 6,521 SF (0.38 FAR) is the maximum
allowed (including covered porch and chimney exemptions). The proposed project is 1,976 SF below the
maximum allowed FAR.
The new single family dwelling will contain five bedrooms. Three parking spaces, two of which must be covered,
are required and provided on site in the attached garage. One uncovered space is provided in the driveway.
The applicant has submitted an application for a Parking Variance for not providing the required 24' back up
area from the attached garage due to the location of an existing, protected size Oak tree that will remain on the
property (approximately 19' to existing protected size Oak tree proposed). All other Zoning Code requirements
have been met. The applicant is requesting the following applications:
■ Design Review for a new, two-story single family dwelling and attached garage (C.S. 25.57.010);
■ Special Permit for an attached two-car garage (CS 25.26.035, (a)); and
■ Parking Variance for not providing the required 24' back up area from the attached garage
(approximately 19' to Oak tree proposed) (CS 25.70.030 (b)).

Many thanks for all your work on this.
Can you confirm the height of the trees that you will be planting? I understand they are 24"
boxes but what will the starting tree heights be?

James please add to the information that you're getting the planning department
I spoke with PG&E
about our project and what we would like to do and I also looked at their
website that they referred to PG&E right tree right care what I learned from
both is that they have recommendations on how to maintain trees there is no
code or law or rule about what we are allowed to plants on our property simply
good tips for maintenance of trees

Angus,
Revised plans resubmitted, but question by Ruben. Since these proposed trees will be
planted on PUE, did we get permission from PG&E? How do we obtain permission???
Please call to discuss!

3. 1521 CABRILLO AVENUE, ZONED R-1 —APPLICATION FOR DESIGN REVIEW, SPECIAL PERMIT FOR
AN ATTACHED GARAGE AND PARKING VARIANCE FOR A NEW SINGLE FAMILY DWELLING WITH
AN ATTACHED GARAGE (JAMES CHU, CHU DESIGN ASSOCIATES, INC., DESIGNER; ANGUS GAVIN1
APPLICANT AND PROPERTY OWNER) STAFF CONTACT: ERICA STROHMEIER
Chair Sargent returned to the dias.
No ex parte communications were reported and all Commissioners had visited the property. Reference staff
report dated August 12, 2013, with attachments. Associate Planner Strohmeier presented the report,
reviewed criteria and staff comments. Sixteen (16) conditions were suggested for consideration. There
were no questions of staff.
Chair Sargent opened the public hearing.
James Chu represented the applicant:
Revised plan per Commission suggestions at the last meeting.
Have had the opportunity to talk to the neighbors. Their concerns are mostly with the trees. We told
them we have not yet decided which species, size or location.
Can suggest a Condition of Approval that trees will be planted to provide some privacy screening to
mitigate the issue.
Eric/Applicant represented the property owner:
To address the privacy concerns, have reduced the amount of windows on the main bedroom.
Will have obscured glass on the second story where the stairwell is, and where the bedroom is.
Going to include a hedge on the side yard where the PG&E easement is but has not determined
exactly which species.
Commission questions and comments:
■ Over last three weeks why hasn't the neighbor been spoken to? (Eric/Applicant: Spoke after the
meeting here. Tried to meet with the neighbors last week, and they have had his contact information
the entire time. The neighbor who is most concerned with the privacy was away at the time that he
had available to physically visit the property.)
■ Is the PG&E easement the entire setback area? Will it be possible to plant a hedge there?
(Eric/Applicant: Along the walkway there is an area for planters, on the side next to the fence.)
■ How tall is the hedge planned to be? What should we and the neighbors expect it to look like?
(Eric/Applicant: It is expected to work to protect their privacy. Does not have an actual height
worked out yet. It has to work for this property too so it does not obscure too much light. Their
property is at an upslope so they get a view down into the property regardless. We will try to make
that a view of a hedge rather than a person.)
■ OK with direction from PG&E on what can and cannot be done in that area? (Eric/Applicant: We
only have a certain area we can build in. Will go up as high as allowed. Cannot plant in the actual
easement area.)
CITY OF BURLINGAME PLANN/NG COMMISSION — Unapproved Minutes August 12, 2013
■ How high can the hedge go there? (Eric/Applicant: Lines are about 12 feet up or so.)
■ Above the front porch looks like material changed from shake to siding. It looks good, but it has not
been called out on the drawings. (Chu: Will look into it. It is changing).
■ On the floor plan it shows the larger front porch. On the site plan there is a wooden walkway along
the right-hand side. (Chu: Correct, it is four feet wide.) Will there need to be a railing there? It
would look good to have a railing there based on the elevation shown for the front. (Chu: Yes there
will be a rail. It will be designed by the landscape architect, probably wood). It would be a good idea
to have a detail of the railing since it will be part of the design of the house.
■ Will the hedge on the left side be potted or in the ground? (Chu: It will be in the ground.)
■ Bamboo would be a great solution. It grows tall and straight, and provides a lot of screening. PG&E
is probably OK with it. But look into the proper way to plant it, as it can be invasive.
■ Can one go from the porch to the deck? Or do you have to go around? (Chu: Can go between the
columns.)
■ Concerned about the landscaping. We're told there will be screening planting but don't know where
it is and what it will be. Looking at the plan and the utility easement, it looks like the easement is
about five feet in from the fence line. If it turns out there can't be planting there, there will need to be
planting where the plans currently show a path. It may need to be reversed. Looks like it could work
but not sure what we would be approving at this point.
■ The revised porch is shown on site plan, but not on the landscape plan. The site plan shows a roof,
but doesn't indicate whether the wood deck is at the same level as the porch. (Chu: The wood deck
is at the same level as the porch.)
■ (Chu: The homeowner is willing to meet with the neighbors and go over to their back yards to see
the area, and in particular the void where they can see the house. Thinks directly behind that area is
where the shrub or privacy screening will be planted.)
■ (Eric/Applicant: The neighbor's concern is with privacy into her back yard. The obscured glass will
take care of the bulk of the concern, and we're planning on putting shrubs against that fence either
way. We'll make the shrubs as high as we need to.)
■ There has not been hard and fast coordination with PG&E to what can or cannot be planted, and
where. Not sure how that will get reworked. Have also heard that there is concern with the hedge
not being too tall so that light is able to come into the subject property. Not sure what the
commitment to the landscape plan is here.
■ (Chu: Suggest come back as an FYI for changes to the landscape plan.)
■ Will the FYI be what the applicant is proposing or what the neighbor has signed off on? (Chu:
Hopefully both. The neighbor has brought a photograph of the tree she wants. We haven't
committed to that, but it is something we can look at.)
■ An FYI will not have a public notice. If we want to call it up for review there will be a public notice.
There will need to be shown some form of commitment from the neighbors saying they have seen
the FYI and concur, have concerns or object. If we don't know if the neighbors have seen it and
they have not received public notices, we don't know if they're in agreement.
■ Could require as a Condition of Approval that the FYI include a letter from the neighbor indicating
whether they support it.
■ (Guinan: The process for the FYI is that it comes to the Commission, and if it is not what was
intended or satisfactory to the desires of the approved project, it would then be called up and noticed
by staff for a formal hearing. Proposal here is to address that for this particular item by having the
FYI include a letter from the neighbor indicating that the parties had met and they had agreed to a
particular species of tree, where it will be planted, and how high. If that is submitted it would obviate
the necessity to call it up for a hearing.)
■ There were a couple of neighbors who had the concerns (1532 and 1540 Drake Avenue). You
should talk to both of them. (Eric/Applicant: We talked to them after the last meeting, but have not
talked to them since. Gave out contact information and had two days last week available to visit, but
did not talk to them.)

C/TY OF BURLINGAME PLANN/NG COMMISSION — Unapproved Minutes August 12, 2013
Public comments:
Linda Ryan, 1532 Drake Avenue, spoke:
■ Has been available to discuss — was only out of town last week.
■ 1532 Drake slopes back. Has provided a panoramic picture.
• Appears the applicant has not planned the landscaping on our side. I've gone on the internet and
visited nurseries to determine what to plant.
■ We're concerned about privacy. Whoever buys the house will appreciate the privacy. It does not
need to be a monster tree, but there are plenty of lovely evergreen shrubs that could create a
privacy hedge.
■ There will be plenty of sun, even with a 15-foot tree.
■ Appreciate the obscured glass in the windows.
■ Just wants a specific answer to the landscaping before it gets approved. Doesn't want to see a only
little 8-foot shrub. Just wants to make sure there will be some height.
Chris McCrum, 1540 Drake Avenue, spoke:
Appreciates the changes to the windows but the planting is important.
The neighbors will need to live with the outcome after the house has been completed and sold.
There were no further comments and the public hearing was closed.
Commission comments:
• Privacy is often an issue, but can only do so much because of the sizes of setbacks. Applicant has
said they will commit to providing landscaping in the easement, so we have been focusing on that.
• Likes house and the changes that were made, but the landscaping has not been worked out. Afraid
if it comes back as an FYI there will be fewer options — things come in as an FYI but things are
already built and cannot be undone, so it is more difficult resolve later than sooner.
• The condition is a side yard up against back yards, not back yards up against each other, so the
setbacks are different between the properties. The new house will be closer to the property line
than if it was a back yard. So it is important to resolve because it is a unique situation.
• Feels the item should be continued because the applicant has not had a chance to meet with the
neighbors. Wants to address the concerns now.
• Could work to the applicant's benefit because an FYI can always be called up, which would delay
the review to the next meeting after that. Any of the neighbors could call the FYI up for a public
hearing, and it can't be heard at that meeting.
• Applicant has committed to doing a good job, but once it is built they will sell it and will be gone. No
prejudice to that, the new owner moves in and inherits whatever happens. There needs to be
harmony with the neighbors.
• Not sure if there will be agreement, but need to have a proposal. It would be great if there can be
agreement and know that PG&E was OK with it.
• Also wants to show integration of the deck with the house and the railings on the elevation.
Commissioner Yie moved to continue the application to the nexf Planning Commission meeting, by
resolution.
The motion was seconded by Chair Sargenf.

Re: New Residence at
1521 Cabrillo Ave.
Burlingame, CA 94010
Dear Planning Commissioner:
Y OF BURLINGAME
'�?'�-�'�l�;�I�n!A n��,l
Per your design review comments we have made the following changes to the above reference project:
1. We have reduced numbers of window in bedroom #4 from 3 to 2.
2. Stained/obscured type of window called out at staircase and bedroom #4.
3. We have extended the front entry porch to the side.
4. We have changed the dining room window to door, and added a roof overhang.
After last planning commission's meeting we have agreed to work with our neighbor in providing
"evergreen" privacy trees, but since we haven't agreed on the size/type/location, we would like request
this to be part of the condition of approval so we can implement at a later date.
Sincerely,
J�� �

4. 1521 CABRILLO AVENUE, ZONED R-1 — APPLICATION FOR DESIGN REVIEW, SPECIAL
PERMIT FOR AN ATTACHED GARAGE AND PARKING VARIANCE FOR A NEW SINGLE
FAMILY DWELLING WITH AN ATTACHED GARAGE (JAMES CHU, CHU DESIGN
ASSOCIATES, INC., DESIGNER; ANGUS GAVIN, APPLICANT AND PROPERTY OWNER)
STAFF CONTACT: ERICA STROHMEIER
Commissioners Bandrapalli, Gaul and Davis noted that they had spoken with neighbors to the
project. All Commissioners had visited the project site. Reference staff report dated July 22,
2013, with attachments. Community Development Director Meeker briefly presented the project
description.
Questions of staff:
None.
Vice-Chair Davis opened the public comment period.
James Chu and Angus Gavin represented the applicant.
Is a spec home on a very unusual lot.
Are proposing to remove the existing guest house and replace the existing single-story
home with a two story home, with an attached two car garage.
The garage was kept at the location because the Fire Department would require an
equipment turnaround on the property if it was placed further back on the property — this
would render the project infeasible.
Commission comments:
■ Is the proposed garage wall location where it currently lies? (Chu — yes. The owners are
able to get in and out of the garage currently.)
■ Is the tree healthy? (Chu/Gavin — have designed the landscape plan to provide adequate
nutrients to the tree.)
■ The recommendations in the arborist report should be included in any conditions of
approval. Clarified that the Oak trees are to remain on the site. (Chu/Gavin — will take
appropriate measures to protect tree roots.)
■ Will it be possible to build a new guest house on the property in the future? (Meeker —
yes, would be limited to 640 square feet. Chu — would be difficult given the presence of
the creek and required setbacks. Gavin — no plans to build anything else on the property.)
■ The front porch doesn't look large enough for the house — suggested wrapping the porch
around the side to create an outdoor sitting area.
■ Consider having the dining room open out to the creek.
■ Noted the letter from the neighbor at 1532 Drake Avenue — suggested meeting with the
neighbors. (Chu/Gavin — the stairway windows are not likely to affect privacy. Will look at
the window in bedroom four. The sunlight comes over the rear of the house. Have
removed several windows and a balcony to ensure the privacy of the neighbors behind.
Still need light to come in from that side of the home. Has spoken with the neighbor
regarding some of the concerns. Can perhaps look at fast growing evergreen plant
materials.)
■ Suggested perhaps a leaded glass window or some other type of glass to obscure views
to the neighbors while still preserving light.
■ Perhaps add a trellis on the garage fa�ade below the eave.
EXCERPT — July 22, 2013 Planning Commission Minutes
1521 Cabrillo Avenue (Agenda Item 4)
■ Would look better to have two separate garage doors. (Gavin — originally considered
having the garage facing the creek, but there is not enough room. Two garage doors will
not be workable given the presence of the Oak tree. Is a difficult driveway to turn around
in.)
■ Given the circumstances, the single door is acceptable.
■ Spoke to the neighbor at the front regarding driveway access. Encouraged getting the
trucks off of the street during construction.
■ The concrete driveway will likely be pretty deteriorated by the time the construction is
completed. (Gavin — will do everything possible to ensure that the driveway is in good
condition when the project is completed.)
Public comments:
Frank and Linda Ryan, 1532 Drake Avenue; owner of 1532 Cabrillo Avenue; Chris McCrumb,
Drake Avenue; and Pam Kaufman, Cabrillo Avenue:
■ Enjoy a lot of privacy currently; the home will block their views.
■ Have asked the builder to obscure the windows from the bedroom that creates the
greatest impact upon privacy on their deck.
■ Encouraged plantings that may provide more privacy.
■ Fifteen feet of shrubbery will not block the light of the house. (Commissioner — the
property owner has the right to plant on their side of the property as well.)
■ Feels that any issues regarding impacts upon neighbor's driveway can be worked out with
the builder.
■ Likely that the trucks will deteriorate the driveway.
■ The Oak tree is in serious need of pruning — assumes that there can be a condition
requiring pruning. (Commissioner — cable and phone lines run through the Oak tree as
well.)
■ Assumes that a future owner may wish to place a new guest house on the property — want
to be notified. (Commissioner — what are the pipes crossing the creek? Gavin — sewer
lines.)
■ Sewage has seeped into the creek previously.
■ Suggestions regarding leaded glass or other obscured glass and shrubbery will also
provide privacy to his property on Drake as well.
■ Accommodation needs to be made given the significant changes being made to the
property.
■ Highlighted the traffic and circulation issues due to the school in the area. It is critical that
all of the construction vehicles not be on the street. They must also arrive and leave
outside of school hours.
■ Has concern regarding the size of the house and the fact that the street was never
intended for the density of homes.
Additional Commission comments:
With respect to bedroom four, consider providing transom windows. Also consider
eliminating the windows in the closets. Could provide a skylight in the hallway and/or
bedrooms to provide more light. (Gavin — have considered the skylight idea — is an
added, ongoing expense. The skylights would almost be too high to receive light. Chu —
will look into the ideas expressed.)
There were no other comments from the floor and the public hearing was closed.

Burlingame city planning department,
Received After
07.08.13 PC Mtg.
Item#4
1521 Cabrillo Ave.
We are Frank and Linda Ryan home owners at 1532 Drake Avenue directly behind
the proposed new build at 1521 Cabrillo Avenue. We have issues with the proposed
design and it's impact on our privacy. We have gotten a copy of the architects plans and
have studied both the house and the landscape designs. From our backyard and deck
the window in bedroom #4 and the staircase window will take away all our privacy. The
landscape design plan does not include any privacy screening plants and trees behind
us.
We have included a panoramic colored photograph view from our deck to show how
our privacy is being compromised. In order too limit the impact on our privacy we ask
for the following changes.
1. Structural: Window in bedroom # 4 be reduced in size, frosted or elevated above
direct view of our deck. We'd also like the staircase window reduced in size, frosted
and/or elevated so that there is not a direct view across to us.
2. Landscape: We like a 20-30', fast growing evergreen tree put right in front of
Bedroom# 4's window to give year round privacy. Our tree is deciduous so most of
the year that tree gives no privacy. And we ask that a large tree is installed so that
we don't have to wait 5-6 years to get have privacy. For ex. A California Pepper tree
grows 25-40ft and can be purchased in 24" box containers for instant height.
Both of these modifications would provide an effective privacy screen for our backyard
and our family. We look forward to working with the developer and designer to make
sure the value of our property and it's privacy is maintained.
Sincerely,

The Planning Commission is required by law to make findings as defined by the City's Ordinance
(Code Section 25.54.020 a-d). Your answers to the following questions can assist the Planning
Commission in making the decision as to whether the findings can be made for your request.
Please type or write neatly in ink. Refer to the back of this form for assistance with these questions.
a. Describe the exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable fo
your property which do not apply fo other properties in this area.
The proposed property at 1521 Cabrillo Ave. is different from typical (50' x 120') standard lot in this vicinity.
Due to the creek, irregular shape lot and the existing oak tree, the accessibility into the garage could not
comply with 3 points maneuver, which creates an exceptional condition that do not apply to other
properties in this area.
b. Explain why the variance request is necessary for the preservafion and enjoyment of a
substantial property righf and what unreasonable property /oss or unnecessary
hardship might result from the denial of the application.
Without the approval of the variance application for accessibility into the garage, due to not enough "back
up" distance, it will limits the development of the proposed residence.
c. Explain why the proposed use at the proposed location will nof be detrimental or
injurious to property or improvements in the vicinity or to public health, safety,
general welfare or convenience.
The variance requested will not be detrimental or injurious to property or improvements in the vicinity of to
public health, safety, general welfare or convenience, since the non-conforming "back up" space is an
existing condition.
d. How will the proposed project be compatible with the aesthefics, mass, bulk and
character of the existing and potential uses on adjoining properties in the general
vicinity?
The proposed project is compatible with the surrounding neighborhoods that also have attached two-car
garage located at the front. Since the proposed it set back away from the street, it will minimize the visual
impact, and also bring down the overall mass/bulk of the proposed residence.

attached garage requires "special permit" will not be visible from the street, since the
lot is a"flag lot". It's also caused by the existing creek and the tree in front.
2. Explain how the variety of roof line, facade, exterior finish materials and elevations of
the proposed new structure or addition are consistent with the existing structure, street
and neighborhood.
The proposed Shingle style home is located within a variety of older styles
neighborhood that also have attached garage. The exterior materials used are all
consistent with the proposed and it should blend in well without changing the character
of the neighborhood.
3. How will the proposed project be consistent with the residential design guidelines
adopted by the ciry (C.S. 25.57)?
The proposed single-family residence is consistent with City Design Review
Guidelines, and it complies with all zoning requirements, except for the attached
garage (Special permit).
4. Explain how the removal of any trees located within the footprint of any new structure or
addition is necessary and is consistent with the city's reforestation requirements. What
mitigation is proposed for the removal of any trees? Explain why this mitigation is
appropriate.
New landscaping for the entire lot is proposed. 'SPECPERM.FRM

Mr. Eric Mainini
1521 Cabrillo Ave.
Burlingame, CA 94010
Dear Mr. Mainini,
On February 14, 2013, we met at this site to discuss proposed demolition and
construction. There are 5 trees that could be impacted by this proposed work. The lot is
unique as it is along a creek with a small cottage across the creek.
The 3 live oaks, Quercus agrifolia, are in very close proximity to the proposed
demolition, construction, and landscaping. The creek may also present tree problems
during demolition and construction.
To protect the trunks during all phases of the construction, wrap trunks with 2 to 3 layers
of the orange snow fence. Place 2x4s around trunks and wrap them with more orange
fencing. Anather protection procedure would be to leave all hardscape during demolition
and construction and leave this partion of construction until last.
During work, care must be taken to not injure roots that have grown in contact with the
existing foundation and for ones that may have grown under the asphalt and concrete
hardscape. When the house and foundation are removed and also when the hardscape
is removed, have the roots inspected so that any other root protection methods can be
recommended.
One method of root preservation, when roots are buried or covered, is to design an
aeration system. This system, generally, is made with perforated PVC pipe
interconnected with daylight at both ends. This system can be used for drainage and/or
fertilizing, etc.
Aeration systems can be placed in the base rock prior to asphalt, concrete, or pavers
being placed. For a fill area, the pipes shauld be placed in gravel-filled trenches covered
with filter fabric.
By keeping construction in basically the same footprint, the trees should not be
significantly impacted. Having routine inspections when excavation is done will help
reduce long term impacts and help retain tree health.

Tree #1:
47.4-inch diameter Coast Live Oak, Quercus agrifolia, located in front of the
existing garage. The root zone of this old mature tree is covered with asphait,
concrete, or homes. This, over many years, has resulted in tree stress as there
are few leaves. The existing hardscape is to be removed and replaced with a
paver system. i recommend having the tree fertilized when the root zone is
exposed and an aeration system installed below the pavers. I also recommend
pruning of the tree during demolition to remove larger deadwood and reduce
heavier end weight. Wrap trunk prior to any work.
Tree #2:
21.0-inch diameter Coast Live Oak left of the house, next to the fence. This tree
appears healthy but has some included bark at the branch crotches. Be careful
of roots during house and foundation removal and also during construction.
Wrap trunk prior to any work.
Tree #3:
32.4-inch diameter leaning {45°) Coast Live Oak behind the existing house. Old
pruning wound has some decay. Raising and leveling the area around this tree
is proposed as well as a retaining wall toward the creek; this will bury tt�e roots.
To help offset this impact, install an aeration system that wili help drain this area
and help with oxygen entering into the root zone. This system can be designed
onsite with the contractor.
Tree #4:
24-inch (est.) diameter Monterey Pine, Pinus radiata, across creek, covered with
ivy. The tree is next to the existing cottage. This tree has pine pitch canker on
several branch tips. This disease progresses slowly but eventually wil� kill the
tree. 1 recommend removal of this tree. Be careful when removing to avoid
stream bank damage and damage to the native buckeyes, Aesculus californica.
This care should also apply to removal of the cottage.
Tree #5:
A group of Black Acacia, Acacia melanoxylon, across the creek, near the creek
edge. They are not native, but do stabilize the stream bank and provide screen
to the school. These t�ees are generally looked at as "weed trees" and a main
source of pollen. They also need routine pruning to keep risks at a minimum.

RE: REQUEST FOR ALTERNATE MEANS OF PROTECTION
1521 CABRILLO AVENUE, BURLINGAME
Dear Mr. Chu,
I have reviewed your request dated June 26, 2013 for an alternate means of
protection to §503.1.1, CFC specific to fire apparatus access being supplied within 150
feet of the furthest e�erior portion of the building. I find your request to be acceptable
based on the fact the building will be equipped with an automatic fire sprinkler system
designed to NFPA 13D and fire sprinkler coverage will be provided throughout the attic
space of the home. Please incorporate this alternate means of protection into your
contract documents for building permit.
Please note, this alternate in no way constitutes a precedent and this alternate is
only specific to the address noted above. If you have any further questions or require
any further information, please do not hesitate to contact me directly.
