January 14, 2008 Planning Commission Meeting: At the January 14, 2008 Planning Commission
meeting, the Commission continued the item because a quorum of members was not present for the
discussion. However, the sub -committee of the Commissioners provided the following additional
comments:
1. Discussed the construction of the stone patio; a sump pump is to be provided to drain the
area; requested that the stones be set in sand to permit drainage into the ground; and
2. Proper placement of an electric gate on the driveway would permit access to home from
courtyard/patio area.
Two additional conditions of approval were added to the project to address the above
comments (see Conditions #2 and #3). Condition #2 requires the rear patio to be constructed
of concrete unit pavers with a sand/rock base. Condition #3 requires an automatic driveway

Staff Comments: See attached comments from the City Arborist, Chief Building Official, City
Engineer, Fire Marshal and NPDES Coordinator. Planning staff would note that a Protected Tree
Removal Permit for removal of an existing 24-inch Siberian Elm was issued on August 1, 2007 (see
attached Protected Tree Removal Permit and Arborist's Report from Mayne Tree Expert Company,
Inc., dated May 22, 2007).
Design Review Study Meeting: At the Planning Commission Design Review study meeting on
November 26, 2007, the Commission had several comments and questions about the project
(November 26, 2007 Planning Commission minutes). The following is a list of the
questions/comments and responses by the applicant. The applicant submitted revised plans
addressing the Commission's concerns, date stamped November 30, 2007.
1. Side -yard patio needs some type of treatment to soften appearance.
• The wall mounted fountain previously proposed along the right side property line was replaced
with a Star Jasmine vine. In addition, Waxleaf Privet hedge was added along the right side
property line at the rear (see revised Landscape Plan, sheet 1-1.0, date stamped November 30,
2007).

Design Review
1320 Castillo Avenue
2. Will the second -floor balcony in the rear affect neighbor's privacy? Consider second floor
balcony change to reduce privacy impacts for neighbor.
• There were no changes made to the second floor balcony at the rear of the house.
3. Consider methods of reducing the amount of hardscape in the plan; look at ways to reduce
storm- water run-off. Reduce amount of impervious surfaces.
The applicant notes that a pervious crushed granite path will be used along the right side
setback; Carolina Jessamine vines were added along the left side property line in front of the
garage; a new planting area with shrubs and vines was added adjacent to the kitchen, nook
and deck at the rear of the house; a planting area with Hydrangea's was added at the rear,
right corner of the house; and a new planting area with English Lavender and a 24-inch box
Bay Laurel was added between the deck and garage (see revised Landscape Plan, sheet L1.0,
date stamped November 30, 2007).
4. Path from parking space to house could be smaller; would provide more area for
landscaping; perhaps consider a tree separating the concrete for the driveway from the
patio to soften the appearance.
The path from the parking space to the house was removed and replaced with additional lawn
area. A new planting area with English Lavender and a 24-inch box Bay Laurel was added
between the driveway and rear patio (see revised Landscape Plan, sheet L1.0, date stamped
November 30, 2007).
5. Symmetry seems to be a bit off on the front elevation. Consider making the porch a bit
more prominent; something more than just a door on the porch, perhaps a window.
• The porch column base was enlarged from 1'-8" square to 2'-2" square, the tapered wood
column was enlarged proportionally. An outrigger was added above the tapered column; the
outrigger previously proposed above the columns was extended out further from the edge of
the porch roof (see revised Front Elevation, sheet A.4, date stamped November 30, 2007).
6. Consider paving strips for driveway.
• There were no changes made to the driveway design.
7. Consult with neighbor regarding desire to install fountain on side of property.
As previously noted, the wall mounted fountain previously proposed along the right side
property line was replaced with a Star Jasmine vine.
8. Soften access from the kitchen to the driveway area.
A new planting area with Sea Lavender, Flax and Gardenia shrubs and Star Jasmine vines
was added adjacent to the kitchen, nook and deck at the rear of the house.

Reference staff report dated January 14, 2008, with attachments. Community Development Director
Meeker presented the report, reviewed criteria and staff comments. Thirteen (13) conditions were
suggested for consideration.
Vice -Chair Terrones opened the public hearing.
James Chu, 55 W. 43`d Avenue, San Mateo; represented the applicant.
Commission comments:
■ Discussed the construction of the stone patio; a sump pump is to be provided to drain the area;
requested that the stones be set in sand to permit drainage into the ground.
• Asked if the Acacia tree in the City easement could be removed?
■ Proper placement of an electric gate on the driveway would permit access to home from
courtyard/patio area.
■ Planting strips in driveway haven't been provided; porch modification hasn't been addressed; there
has been no response to rear balcony concerns.
The applicant noted that there were changes made to the landscape plan, such as using pervious crushed
granite paths, to address concerns with drainage, the proposed fountain was eliminated, the applicant
wanted to retain the rear balcony, and changes were made to the porch to make it more prominent.
Commissioner Osterling revealed that his property is within 500-feet of the corner of the subject property, he
then recused himself and left the dais.
A quorum of Commission members was no longer present, remaining members reviewed the item as a sub-
committee of the Commission.
Public comments:
Pat Giorni, 1445 Balboa Avenue; felt there was no real change in the plans; doesn't feel the Commission
concerns have been addressed. Approximately 1,650 square feet of permeable surface on a 6,000 square
foot lot; wants to know if driveway and turn -around are taken into consideration on figures on site plan.
Drainage has not been addressed. Will water table be high; will sump pumps need to remove water after
normal rains? Page A5; how does one access porch. Upper rear balcony could be limited to a smaller area
to enhance privacy at rear; area could be used to expand front porch. There is a bathroom for every
bedroom; is building boarding house conditions into single-family dwellings; easy to rent out rooms. Needs
more meaningful change.
There were no further comments and the public hearing was closed.
Since a quorum of members was not present for the discussion, no action could be taken. The sub-
committee of the Commission felt that the matter could be placed on the next available agenda, on the
Action Calendar. This item concluded at 8:34 p.m.
Commissioner Osterling returned to the dais.

perhaps a window.
■ Consider paving strips for driveway.

I have inspected the 24-inch diameter Siberian elm, Ulmus pumila, in front of the above
referenced site. The purpose of the Inspection was to provide general comments on
the tree's health, structure, and existing damage. The tree is surrounded by hardscape
on all sides.
The tree was only visually inspected for the above conditions. The tree has been
routinely pruned as it has a balanced, contained canopy and appears to have normal
healthy growth.
The trunk has oozing about at about 18 feet high from a westerly crotch. This could be
from a split or separation or a bacterial infection. Either way this is a safety concern.
There is a large cavity on the westerly side of the trunk at about 4 feet high. Trunk
cavities reduce the trunk's ability to support the upper portion of the tree. The larger
the cavity, the more support reduction.
Tree roots are uplifting the driveway. Thi$ will always be a problem and will be more of
a problem in the future. Mitigation of these problems %rill be ongoing until sufficient
roots are cut to reduce support and health that will then require removal due to
unacceptable risks. I think this will take about 5 years.
I therefore think it is prudent to have this tree removed. I also think this report is
accurate and based on sound arboricultural principles and practices.
Sincerely,
Richard L. Huntington

WHY SHOULD WE WORRY ABOUT SOIL EROSION?
Water and wind carry soil from our Bay Area land down into our
streams, lakes and the Bay. This soil carries with it pollu-
tants such as oil and grease, chemicals, fertilizers, animal
wastes and bacteria, which threaten our water quality.
Such erosion also costs the home construction industry, local
government, and the homeowner untold millions of dollars
a year.
Nature slowly wears away land, but human activities such as
construction increase the rate of erosion 200, even 2,000 times
that amount. When we remove vegetation or other objects that
hold soil in place, we expose it to the action of wind and water
and increase its chances of eroding.
The loss of soil from a construction site results in loss of topsoil,
minerals and nutrients, and it causes ugly cuts and gullies in the
landscape. Surface runoff and the materials it carries with it clog
our culverts, flood channels and streams. Sometimes it destroys
wildlife and damages recreational areas such as lakes and re-
servoirs.
As an example, road and home building in the Oakland hills
above Lake Temescal filled the lake to such an extent that it had
to be dredged in 1979 at a public cost of $75m 000.

TIPS FOR THE HOMEOWNER
f
,- IiIRF
"Winterize" your property by mid -September. Don't
wait until spring to put in landscaping. You need
winter protection. Final landscaping can be done
later.
Inexpensive measures installed by fall will give you
protection quickly that will last all during the wet
season.
In one afternoon you can:
• Dig trenches to drain surface runoff water away
from problem areas such as steep, bare slopes.
• Prepare bare areas on slopes for seeding by raking
the surface to loosen and roughen soil so it will
hold seeds.
Seeding of bare slopes
• Hand broadcast or use a "breast seeder." A typical
yard can be done in less than an hour.
• Give seeds a boost with fertilizer.
• Mulch if you can, with grass clippings and leaves,
bark chips or straw.
• Use netting to hold soil and seeds on steep slopes.
• Check with your local nursery for advice.
Winter alert
Check before storms to see that drains and ditches
are not clogged by leaves and rubble.
• Check after major storms to be sure drains are clear
and vegetation is holding on slopes. Repair as
necessary.
Spot seed any bare areas.
WHAT YOU CAN DO TO
on all areas that are not to be paved or otherwise
covered.
CONTROL EROSION
AND PROTECT
YOUR PROPERTY
Soil erosion costs Bay Area homeowners millions of dol-
lars a year. We lose valuable topsoil. We have to pay for
damage to roads and property. And our tax money has to
be spent on cleaning out sediment from storm drains,
channels, lakes and the Bay.
You can protect your prop-
erty and prevent future
headaches by following
these guidelines:
BEFORE AND
DURING
CONSTRUCTION
• Plan construction activities during spring and summer,
so that erosion control measures can be in place when
the rain comes.
• Examine your site carefully before building. Be aware of
the slope, drainage patterns and soil types. Proper site
design will help you avoid expensive stabilization work.
Preserve existing vegeta-
tion as much as possible.
Limit grading and plant
removal to the areas
under current construc-
tion. (Vegetation will
naturally curb erosion,
improve the appearance
and the value of your
property, and reduce the
cost of landscaping later.)
• Use fencing to protect plants from fill material and traffic.
If you have to pave near trees, do so with permeable as-
phalt or porous paving blocks.
• Preserve the natural contours of the land and disturb the
earth as little as possible. Limit the time in .which graded
areas are exposed.
• Minimize the length and
steepness of slopes by
benching, terracing, or
constructing diversion
structures. Landscape
benched areas to stabilize
the slope and improve its
appearance.
• As soon as possible after grading a site, plant vegetation
• Control dust on graded areas by sprinkling with water,
restricting traffic to certain routes, and paving or gravel-
ing access roads and driveways.
TEMPORARY MEASURES TO
STABILIZE THE SOIL k h
Grass provides the
cheapest and most ef-
fective short-term. ero-
sion control. It grows
quickly and covers the
ground completely. To
find the best seed mix-
tures and plants for
your area, check with
your local nursery, the
U.S. Department of Ag-
riculture Soil Conserva-
tion Service, or the
University of California
Cooperative Extension.
Mulches hold soil moisture and provide ground protection
from rain damage. They also provide a favorable envi-
ronment for starting and growing plants. Easy -to -obtain
mulches are grass clippings, leaves, sawdust, bark chips
and straw
Straw mulch is nearly 100% effective when held in place by
spraying with an organic glue or wood fiber (tackiliers), by
punching it into the soil with a shovel or roller, or by tack-
ing a netting over it.
Commercial applications of
wood fibers combined with
various seeds and fertilizers
(hydraulic mulching) are effec-
tive in stabilizing sloped areas.
Hydraulic mulching with a
tackifrer should
be done in two
separate appli-
cations: the first
composed of seed fertilizer and half the mulch, the second
composed of the remaining mulch and tackifrer. Commer-
cial hydraulic mulch applicators —who also provide other
erosion control services — are listed under "landscaping" in
the phone book.
--- ---------
Mats of excelsior, jute netting and plastic sheets can be ef-
fective temporary covers, but they must be in contact with
the soil and fastened securely to work effectively.
Roof drainage can be collected in barrels or storage con-
tainers or routed into lawns, planter boxes and gardens.
Be sure to cover stored water so you don't collect mos-
quitos, too. Excessive runoff should be directed away from
your house. Too much water can damage trees and make
foundations unstable.
STRUCTURAL RUNOFF CONTROLS
Even with proper timing and planting, you may need to
protect disturbed areas from rainfall until the plants have
time to establish themselves. Or you may need permanent
ways to transport water across your property so that it
doesn't cause erosion.
To keep water from carrying soil from your site and dump-
ing it into nearby lots, streets, streams and channels, you
need ways to reduce its volume and speed. Some exam-
ples of what you might use are:
straw mulch
Riprap (rock lining) —to
protect channel banks
from erosive water flow
• Sediment trap —to
stop runoff carrying
sediment and trap the
sediment
• Storm drain outlet
protection —to reduce
the speed of water flow-
ing from a pipe onto
open ground or into a
natural channel
• Diversion dike or perimeter dike —to divert excess
water to places where it can be disposed of properly
• Straw bale dike — to stop and detain sediment from
small unprotected areas
(a short-term measure)
• Perimeter Swale — to divert
runoff from a disturbed area
or to contain runoff within
a disturbed area .

CITY OF BURLINGAME PLANNING COMMISSION — Approved Minutes January 28, 2008
_1�W
3. 1320 CASTILLO DRIVE, ZONED R-1 — APPLICATION FOR DESIGN REVIEW FOR A NEW, TWO
STORY SINGLE FAMILY DWELLING AND DETACHED GARAGE (JAMES CHU, CHU DESIGN & ENGR.,
INC., APPLICANT AND DESIGNER; TONY LEUNG, PROPERTY OWNER) PROJECT PLANNER:
RUBEN HURIN (CONTINUED FROM JANUARY 14, 2008 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING)
Reference staff report dated January 28, 2008, with attachments. Planner Hurin presented the report,
reviewed criteria and staff comments. Fifteen (15) conditions were suggested for consideration.
Chair Cauchi opened the public hearing.
James Chu, 55 West 43Id Avenue, San Mateo; represented the applicant.
Only issue remaining is the second -floor balcony; have approached neighbors, they are "ok" with it.
Commission comments:
Moving back second -floor balcony to be even with nook below would be an improvement and would
protect the privacy of the neighbors.
Cantilevered balcony provides weather protection below, as well as assisting with drainage.
Location of balcony off of master bedroom reduces usage.
Public comments:
Pat Giorni, 1445 Balboa Avenue; noted that the architect had not prepared a response letter to the
Commissioners' prior questions and comments. Asked if a sump pump shown on the plans, or
should it be a condition of approval to have it installed. With the footprint of the house, the
driveways and other paved areas, a significant amount of additional impervious surface is being
created; the Commission should look at lot coverage restrictions. The second -story balcony is a
problem; it is a very usable balcony, could become a problem later. This is yet another one
bathroom to one bedroom situation; should not be encouraged.
Additional Commission comments:
From an environmental and aesthetic point of view; having so much impervious surface on a lot is a
problem; applicants should not design projects assuming the 40% maximum lot coverage is the
optimal condition.
There were no further comments and the public hearing was closed.
Commissioner Auran moved to approve the application, by resolution, with the following amended
conditions:
that the project shall be built as shown on the plans submitted to the Planning Department date
stamped November 30, 2007, sheets A.1 through A.6, L1.0 and Boundaryand Topographic Survey,

The motion was seconded by Commissioner Brownrigg.
Discussion of motion:
Commissioner Brownrigg noted that he is not overly concerned about the balcony, but is concerned
about the amount of hardscape in the design. Because of the lot slope, will feel like a very large
house from the rear. Generally thinks it is well designed. Concerned about small amount of
plantings on the site. Not an ideal archetype for the future.
Commissioner Terrones indicated that he would support the motion, but with a certain amount of
trepidation. The four bedroom, four -and -a -half bathhouse maximizes the FAR and square footage
and is designed without encouraging interface with the neighborhood.
Chair Cauchi noted that he would support the motion. He has no issue with the second -floor
balcony and bathrooms. He is concerned with the amount of hardscape included in the design.
Chair Cauchi called for a voice vote on the motion to approve. The motion passed 4-0-1-1 (Commissioner
Osterling recused, Commissioner Vistica absent). Appeal procedures were advised. This item concluded
at 7:34 p.m.
Commissioner Osterling returned to the dais.
Chair Cauchi recused himself from participating in the discussion regarding Item 4, since he resides within
500-feet of the subject property — he left the dais.
