Summary: On July 13, 2009, the Planning Commission approved an application for Design Review, Floor Area Ratio Variance and Special Permits for Deciining Height Envelope and Basement for a first and second story addition to a single family dwelling at 1208 Bernal Avenue, zoned R-1 (July 13, 2009, Planning Commission Minutes attached). A building permit was issued on October 14, 2009. A condition of approval was added to the approval requiring that an FYI application be submitted to change the roofing material from metal (with solar panels) to clay tile. The applicant is now proposing a two-piece pre-aged clay tile roof (see revised building elevations, sheets A3.1 — A3.4, date stamped October 28, 2009). In addition, the applicant is proposing several changes throughout the building, including modifications to windows, doors and chimney. Please refer to the applicant's letter and revised plans, dated stamped October 28, 2009, for a detailed list of proposed changes. Other than the proposed changes listed on the applicants' letter and revised plans, date stamped October 28, 2009, there are no other changes proposed to the design of the house. If the Commission feels there is a need for more study, this item may be placed on an action calendar for a second review and/or public hearing with direction to the applicant. Ruben Hurin Senior Planner ATTACHMENTS: July 13, 2009 Planning Commission Minutes Letter from Randy Grange, architect, dated October 27, 2009 Previously Approved and Proposed Plans, date stamped October 28, 2009 CITY OF BURLINGAME PLANNING COMMISSION — Approved Minutes July 13, 2009 VII. ACTION ITEMS Consent Calendar - Items on the Consent Calendar are cohsidered to be routine. They are acted upon simultaneously unless separate discussion and/or action is requested by the applicant, a member of the public or a Commissioner prior to the time the Commission votes on the motion to adopt. Chair Terrones asked if anyone in the audience or on the Commission wished to call any item off the consent calendar. The applicant requested that 1208 Bernal be pulled from the consent calendar to consider roofing material options. Commissioner Yie recused herself from participating on Item 2a, given a past business relationship. She left the Council Chambers. VIII. REGULAR ACTION ITEMS 2a. 1208 BERNAL AVENUE, ZONED R-1 — APPLICATION FOR DESIGN REVIEW, FLOOR AREA RATIO VARIANCE AND SPECIAL PERMITS FOR DECLINING HEIGHT ENVELOPE AND BASEMENT FOR A FIRST AND SECOND STORY ADDITION TO A SINGLE FAMILY DWELLING AND NEW BASEMENT QUALIFYING AS SUBSTANTIAL CONSTRUCTION (TRG ARCHITECTS, APPLICANTAND ARCHITECT; BRAD AND ROXANN LOOSE, PROPERTY OWNERS) STAFF CONTACT: RUBEN HURIN Reference staff report dated July 13, 2009, with attachments. Associate Planner Strohmeier presented the report, reviewed criteria and staff comments. Thirteen conditions were suggested for consideration. Chair Terrones opened the public hearing. Randy Grange, TRG Architects, 205 Park Road, represented the applicant. He requested that the Commission consider two options for the roofing material, either the metal roof as shown on the plans or with a clay tile roof. Provided a sample of the proposed zinc roofing material. Commission comments: ■ Design lends itself to a tile roof, given the quality of workmanship, if we specify that it be a non- homogenous clay tile roof, would feel comfortable approving the alternative roof material. ■ While Mr. Grange is a talented architect, it would sets a bad precedent going forward, think an FYI will not slow it down too much, should be more specific about the type of tile and bring it back as an FYI. ■ Neighbor asked a question about the ability to waterproof the basement, will it be a sealed unit, will the gutters drain to the basement? (Randy Grange — today's designs for basements are fully waterproofed — will be engineered and the engineer will oversee construction in the �eld). ■ If you go with the metal roof, will you see the solar panels as a part of roof? How far along are you in the structural design? (Randy Grange — yes, buf it would be a clean looking roof, you won't see the solar panels, we are close to making decision on the roof material, but haven't completed structural.) ■ Prepared to approve with metal roof with solar, and if choose to go with a tile roof, it can be brought back as FYI. Public comments: Pat Giorni, 1445 Balboa, think tile roof is preferable, metal roof will be noisy in rainstorm, There were no further comments and the public hearing was closed. Commissioner Vistica indicated that �3 , : CITY OF BURLINGAME PLANN/NG COMMISSION — Approved Minuies July 93, 2009 he did not attend the study meeting on this item, so he will abstain from the vote.

As with many custom home projects, designs and preferences continue to develop and solidify throughout the process. The attached list describes each modification to the approved proj ect. The most significant change is the roof material, which was approved as zinc, but will now be a two-piece pre-aged clay tile (Redlands or similar). This was discussed at the action hearing and it was decided that this could come back as an FYI. The bulk of the other proposed changes are window modifications. None of the window changes can be seen from the street. In fact, the sides of the house are not visible at all and most of the side windows would look out on a neighbor's two-story wall. Thanks for taking the time to review this project once again, and we hope you will find the proposed revisions acceptable. i re , Randy Grange AIA ,� ReCy��ed �� 205 Park Road, Suire 203, I3urlingamc, CA 94010 ps� m,�,,,�.,,,�.,,., � 650.)79.5762 Pax 650.579.011> www.[rgarch.com � Sheet Al.l Site Plan the Finish Floor elevation has changed from 100.25' to 98.51'.
