Burlingame Planning Commission Minutes Page 4 August 23, 1976 Discussion ensued regarding�parking, the�other tenants in this area and the use of this private street. Mr. Crisafi stated it was his hope the Police Department would agree to making the street a one way street, and indicated only two buildings have right of ingress and egress at present. The applicant is proposing parking on the eastern side of Whitethorn Way. It was agreed by the Commission that more definitive information was needed for evaluation before a decision could be made on this special permit application. There are no specific plans; the building is an older, non-conforming building; since the tentative parcel map has been approved by the Commission, P.C. should allow Mr. Crisafi to proceed by presenting more specific plans at a future meeting. C. Mink moved that Commission postpone this hearing until the applicant submits interior plans which have been checked by the Fire and Building Departments; that he submit parking, traffic and paving plans; that the applicant demonstrate . to the satisfaction of the City Attorney that his proposal for control of the space on Whitethorn Way meets all conditions for recording of legal agreements covering ingress, egress and parking, and that this information be communicated to other property owners; that the applicant submit to Commission a more specific plan for exterior visual treatment of t�he subject building�, not just indicating Cosmetic work in general. The Commissioner then nroposed that this atem be placed on the agenda in one month's time at the meeting of September 27. Second by C. Cistulli, and all aye by voice vote. .�.-------- _- - ''� 4. SPECIAL PERMIT FOR AUTO DEALER'S USE OF EXISTING GARAGE IN M-1 DISTRICT AT � 1100 CAROLAN AVENUF (APN 026-233-100) BY RECTOR CADILLAC (APPLICANT) AND DONALD TATEOSIAN (PROPERTY OWNER). (ND-90P POSTED 8/11/76). Chm. Taylor ascertained that Donald Tateosian was present at this meeting, and then asked for review of the application by Asst. C.P. Yost. The Asst. C.P. stated the property at 1100 Carolan has approximately 14,725 SF. The site plan distributed to the Commission shows two separate buildings on the property. The smaller of the two is occupied by Quality Polishing and Grannis Warehouse. Hauffman Enter- . prises, which is an office use, occupies 618 SF of the larger building. It is the remainder of this building, 5,004 SF, which Rector Cadillac is proposing to use for new car preparation. He noted Mr. Tateosian has reported six people would be employed, give or take one, and over a five day week suggests that about 35-40 cars could be serviced. The proposed use of this space would be less than the intensity of the use from the previous tenant, CB Center of America. This comoany special-ized in catalog sales of Citizen Band radio equipment, and also had some �retail sales on the premises: At its peak, the company had 21 employees. Immediate on-street parking conditions would be considerably improved with the new tenancy. Mr. Yost noted one possibie concern with this property is on-site parking. The rear parking lot off Cadillac Way can hold 10 cars to code standard. An llth parking space might be counted in front of the roll-up door to the Grannis Warehouse. The three existing businesses on this site have a code requirement of five parking spaces. The Cadillac "get ready" shop has a requirerent of seven spaces. No spac�s have been striped on the.property or assigned to separate tenants; should spaces in this lot be striped and identified for the use of each tenant? Tt�e Asst. C.P, advised no other significant problems are anticipated should this application be approved. . . f3urlingame Planning Commission Minutes Pa ge 3 � August 23, 1976 there is 57% coverage of Parcel 1; present buildings do not conform with present zoning code and do not have frontage on a street, this property having been developed a long time ago under a different set of rules. C. Sine ascertained that the buildings are at present fire sprinklered and Mr. Crisafi advised he had agreed with F.I. Pearson that he would run sprinklers into each cubicle. The Commissioner noted the applicant would have i:o meet code when building the cubicles. C. E. Kirkup confirmed this map meets the requirements �for a tentative parcel map and he would recommend approval subject to the following conditions: that Mr. Crisafi be a legal owner before signature of the final map, and that Mr. Crisafi execute an agreement with the City stating that each building will be treated as a separate structure for purposes of reconstruction in the event of fire or other damage. C. Francard was concerned about the provision for some trees or landscaping. The applicant noted construction would be all interior alterations; he would also like to do some cosmetic type cleaning up of the exterior, repave and in general make it attractive. C.�Mink moved approval of this tentative parcel map, per the map revision dated 8/23/76, with the two conditions as stated by the City Engineer. Second C. Kindig and carried on.the following roll call vote: AYES: COMMISSIONERS: CISTULLI, FRANCARD, KINDIG, MINK, SINE, TAYLOR NAYES: COMMISSIONERS: NONE ABSENT: COMMISSIONERS: JACOBS Chm. Taylor advised the applicant it would be necessary that C.A. Coleman approve the agreement when he�returns from vacation. 3. SPECIAL PERMIT TO�OPERATE A P1INI STOR.AGE WAREHOUSE AT 1241 WHITETHORN WAY (PORTION OF APN 026-131-020 AND -090), ZONED M-1, BY NICHOLAS CRISaFI (BUYER) WITH INDUSTRIAL REALTY COh1PANY (SELLER). (I�lD-91P POSTED 8/11/76) C.P. Swan introduced this special permit application, stating that the draft negative declaration which was presented prior to the study meeting had been amended slightly and posted. Staff did not know how many cubicles will be constructed, but this would depend on the number of sprinkler heads that can be put in. The use is still the same: storage cubicles within the existing building. It is a service to customers; a retail service needing a special -permit in the M-1 District. He noted some discrepancy about the size of the building; the application indicated a 100' x 100' building and just recently it was brought to staff's attention that it would be 12,000 SF. This would affect the number of parking spaces needed. With access from a private easement, the amount of parking to be allocated to this building and the�other buildings would depend upon a parking.layout for total ownership. The C.P. continued, since the tentative map has been approved for two separate parcels, it would seem there should be a review of each parcel. This business would have one employee and persons using it for storage would come infrequently and seldom at the same time. This being true, the parking would be adequate; perhaps Commission could specify a certain minimum number of parking spaces. Until the number of cubicles is kno��an, staff would be guessing at the number of people at one time. � � .. Burlingame Planning Commission Minutes Page 5 August 23, 1976 Mr. Tateosian said that Hauffman Enterprises does have two parking spaces in the back lot; the Carolan Avenue side will be closed off and vehicle access to the building will be from the parking lot; it will not be a garage open to the public. Chm. Taylor asked for any audience corrment and, there being none, declared the public hearing closed. Further Commission discussion established that there would be no additional noise as this is merely a shop for complete new car check; it will be separate from the main shop; regarding building,alterations, staff advised all work will be done to code. Mr. Tateosian told Commission that Grannis l�arehouse has moved out and this space is to be used strictly for sheet metal storage. C. Kindig moved approval of this special permit; second C. Cistulli and carried on the following roll call vote: AYES: COMMISSIONERS: CISTULLI, FRAP�CARD, KINDIG, SINE, TAYLOR NAYES: COMMISSIONERS: MINK ABSENT: COMMISSIONERS: JACOBS Chm. Taylor told the applicant this special permit would becane effective September 8 unless appealed to City Council. 5. SPECIAL PERMIT TO USE AN EXISTING GARAGE AS A RUMPUS ROOM AT 1520 VANCOUVER AVENUE (APN 026-034-180), ZONED R-1, BY I�ILLIAM J. KIRCHEN. Chm. Taylor determined that Mr. Kirchen was in the audience this evening, and requested review of the application by Asst. C.P. Yost. Mr. Yost advised that within.the last two months the two car garage at 1520 Vancouver had been remodeled: fully paneled, carpeted and rewired; sliding glass doors cut into the sidewall and the car door no longer can be opened. A neighbor inquiry brought this to the attention of the Building Department and the Chief B.I. confir,med no permit was issued for this work. The Asst. C.P. drew Commission's attention to tne photographs distributed this evening, and went on to say that the presert application is to permit this room to be used as a rumpus room with the family's 18 year old boy sleeping in a built-ir bunk �n one corner. No plumbing or cooking facilities have been installed. To replace the garage, a building permit for a new carport was issued August 18, and copies of these plans have been circulated to the C anmission. Mr. Yost noted that the use of an accessory building for storage purposes is a permitted use in an R-1 District. Once the new carport is constructed, the converted garage can be used as a storeroom and b-e within code. Hot�ever, this application is to extend the permitted use and allow the storeroom to be used as a rumpus room and accessory sleeping quarters. Mr. Kirchen addressed the Commission, stating that his mother, grandmother and sister are living in the house while his br.other is sleeping in the converted garage (which contains no sink or olumbing). Commission and staff discussion indicated: it seemed fair to call this building accessor•y sleeping quarters; it will be used by the 18 year old young man for other things such as T.V. viet��ing; it appeared the garage was capable of being reconverted into a �arage. Chm. Taylor asked for audience comments in favor; there were none. He then�asked for comments in opposition. . '.� Burlingame Planning Commission Minutes Page 6 � August 23, 1976 Mrs. Florence Cole, next door neiqhbor at 1524 Vancouver Avenue, spoke in opposition. She noted the owner does not live at this address; the garage in question f aces her kitchen and breakfast room, and she enumerated many noisy, disrupting, offensive and untidy impacts from the occupancy of the building by the 18 year old boy. She said cars are parked in the drivetivay or against the fence between the two properties, and two or three cars are for sale all the time. It was her hope that the teenager, who now has a job at the airport, would not entertain both day and night from now on, and that the carport would help keep cars away from the fence. Mrs. Cole said they had assumed, �ahen buying their home, the neighborhood w�s quiet and dignified; she felt setting a precedent like this would soon make the area into a tenement. She was also unhappy about the possibility of selling their house at a good price when they might need the money in their later years. There being no further comments in opposition, Chm. Taylor declared the public hearing closed. C. Kindig agreed that perhaps if the carport is built it will in the yard close to Mrs. Cole's lot. However, he �vished in could prohibit the converted garage from becoming a separate when the house is sold, and wondered what assurance there was would be built under the recently issued building permit. Th the carport were not built P1r. Kirchen would be in violation the property would not have covered parking. eliminate cars parking sorne way the Commission rental unit if and that the carport e Asst. C.P. said if of City code since It was determ;ned that notices were sent to all people within a 300 foot radius; and plans show the required four foot separation between house and accessory building would be maintained when the carport is built. C. Cistulli wished for comments from some of the other neiyhbors so that he could react to what Mrs. Cole had said. C. Sine asked the applicant why he had not taken out a building permit for the conversion. Mr. Kirchen replied he had. thought merely filling in the garage would not require one since no changes were made to the structure. Remodeling had been done by a carpenter; no contractor. The applicant felt Mrs. Cole might have complained in the beginning, rather than after the fact. During further discussion C. Sine stated his main concern was remodeling the garage so that it lends itself for future owners to have a mother-in-law apartment; the� P.C. is being asked to legalize what is in essence an illegal structure. He aduised Commission he had visited the property. C. Mink determined the applicant's mother wroie the handwritten letter attached to the application and Mr. Kirchen had signed it. The Commissioner thought detached living quarters on the property line were bad. As far as the other matters mentioned by Mrs. Cole, these might be matters for the Sanitation, Health or Police Departments. C. Kindig agreed that mary of the problems f�rs. Co•le mentioned were not pertinent�to the P.C. Chm. Taylor thought the room seemed to comply with the code as a rumpus room, but admittedly it did invade Mrs. Cole's privacy. � C. Sine moved deniai or this special permit; second C. Cistulli, and the application was denied by the.following roll call vote: AYES: NAYES: COMMISSIONERS: CISTULLI, FRANCARD, MINK, SINE COMMISSIONERS: KINDIG; TAYLOR ABSENT: COMMISSIONERS: JACOBS Chm. Taylor informed the applicant of the right of appeal to the City Council.
