At that time, she k�as informed that a letter stating her intention was required. However, because the-application fee �ras not refundable, �irs. Small indicated there [probably] �,�oulcl be no further commuiiication. The City Planner stated a letter from the Folice Department giving the traffic circulation in that area had been received but review would seem academic. Chairman Cistulli observed that there was no proof to file of the fact that �irs. Small was witlidrati�inj the application.

SPECIAL PERI`�IIT FOR ESTABLISHME�IT OF ZETAIL STORE IN AN M-1 DISTRICT _AT 1180 CAROLAN AVENUE (APN 026-233-01) BY DODT�,LD D. TATEOSIAN Chaizman Cistulli announced this twice-continued item for hearing. Secretary Jacobs read a communication dated June 28, 1972 from Johr. I,. Rectoz of Yector Cadillac stating he would have no objection to allowing customers of the proposed antique shop exit behind his buil.ding onto Cadillac Way. He also read a letter dated June 30, 1972 from A. H. Gaff�_n, owner of Burlinc�ame Animal Hospital, stating he felt the proposed antique shop would be far superior to the previous tenants. Mr, T3t�osian addressed the Commission. He stated he tho��ht that in askinc� for this specizl oermit for on_ly one per_son and this type of b�.�siness, he was actually allevi�ting the parking situation. The previous tenant, Penir.sul.a General Ti.re, had three employee cars and 8- 9 trucks. He commented this a].most blocked the easement. } � , � -.2 - Chairman Cistul].i reminded Mr. Tateosian that at the June 25th meetir_, it �aas emphasized that the easement should not be used fo.r parki_ng, and he was to submit leqal documentation regard�_ng the easement so that the problem of possible abandonment could be discussed. City Attorney i:�rmel added that �.t this last meeting it was the consensus of Commission opinion that if this applicatior_ were granted, off-stre�t parking had to be furnished and a circu_lation pattern provided. The applicant now proposes to use the easement on the property both for parking and for traff_i.c circulation. This raises questions about the nature of the easement, who the owner is, and whether circulation must be provided on the Oscar Person or Rector Cadil]_ac property. Mr. Tateosian was asked to furnish title insu.rance policies for examinati.on by staff so that ownership of the easement could be determined. At the adjourned meeting his representative brought the pol�_cies but was not able to leave them for examination. The City Attarney stated that tonight Mr. Tateosian had produced documents cahich show that the easement for egress and ingress was granted to Dr. and Mrs. Guyselmans. If the variance is granted with the easement to be used f_or circulation witY� ec�ress on Carolan, a future easement would be required from the owner and a right to use the Rector Cadillac or Person property. He asked Mr. Tateosian if_ the successor to Dr. Guyselmans would surrender his easernent, and Mr. Tateosian replied he would not. M.r. Tateosian went on to say that he could get any kind of document fr_om Mr. Rector with ri.ghts texminating at the end of the lease of the tenant. Also, that he had talked with a repr.eser.ta�ive of Mr. Person who wou].d give a verbal agreement for_ use of the land. He commented that everyone uses it now without permissi.on. Na one in the audi.ence was either in favor of or against the appli.cation. The public hearing was declared closed. Commissi_oner Si_ne commented that the City Attorney's suggestions were always wise, but added that he was sympathetic with t�e applicant and felt the parking could be worked out and flow of traffi.c maint�ined so that it would not be necessary to back out on Carolan. He voiced extreme disapprova� of the tenant's husband who had becoma arbi.trary at the recent study meeting, and who had beleaguered City staff as well as Council with his opinions on this a�plication. Commissioner Sine nated the tenznt had obtained a business license on the 13th of June, had alr_eady moved in the location, and already is in business. A sign is up and no sign permit granted, Commissioner Norberg thouaht a vote should be taken. Commissioner Mink stated that the parkinq should be straigh�:ened out or the applicati.on denied. Commissioner Taylor was annoyed that this api]_�_cati_on h�d been presented at s�veral meetings with st�lt no an.re�m�r.t c�n the ea��-ner.t or unde.r_sta�dinc� �•aith the arplic��nt. He felt if �:r. T�i�eo�ian did not wish to compl.y �aith t.he wi.s�es or the Comm?ssion the application shoul.d be denied. Commissioner Kindi.g thought the easement shoulcl be finalized ar.d disapproved of the tenant's use of the gasoline pump. Commissioner Jacohs sugc,ested � , . . - 3 - Mr. Tateosian be given the opportunity to w�.thdraw his application. This was suqgested by the Chair, but Mr. Tateosian stated he clid not comprehend wherein he had not already satisfied the wishes of the commission. Chairman Cistul�i informed him that if the application were denied, he could no� apply aga�.n f-or a year, and suggested a continuance. Mr. Tateosian did not indicate his wishes, and Comma.ssioner Sine moved that this application be continued to the adjourned meeting of August 14 to allow the applicant ti.me to get a11 necessary information. Commissioner Mink seconded the motion and it carried by voice vote. 2.

Secretary Jacobs read letter from G. K. Curtis, g�neral coiztractor, substantiating the request for variance. City Planner S�van revieti,�ed the application, statinc� that this building is now non-conforming and wi11 remain non-conforming even after_ the improvement. He commented on the Fire Inspector's report, stating that this wou].d be considered a three-story buildinc�, since there are common areas remaining at ground level such as laundry and garage. In a three- story bui?ding each living unit must have �wo exiL-s. One unit as 1452 Bellevue c7oes not have a second exit. He continued that the gxound level w�ll be remodeled to pr_ovide a maximttm ten parking spaces, of which five in the rear would have to be small car parking spaces. The City PlanneY suc�gested that this application be accepted on its own merits or suggestions made as to how it could be improved. He showed slides of thP driveway between the apartment and the adjacent dwel]_ir_g and of the garage on the grour.d floor, commenting on the inadequate height and builda.nc� f.oundation. There was no one in the au�3ience either in favor of or ac,rainst this appl-ication an� the publi.c hearing was declared closed. ACKI�O i�TLE DG:�IE L�rI' At this point, Chairman Cistulli acknowledged the presence of Co�lne�_7_man Cusick i.n the audience. C�_ty Engineer Marr co:nmer,ted an the application. He stated the pa.rking arrangement was horrible in that every car would ?�ave to back out or_to the street. In additi_or., if a proposed f�r.ce is built alonc� t�e proper_ty line, it would restr.�_ct access to the rea.r huildi.ng and thi.s mi�ht cause a problem far the_Fire Department. F-ie conceded that curb ct�ts amountinc; to 70/ o.f the street fr_ontage could be m�de for the drive�.��ys, but this would el�_minate or.street parking space.

This wou_ld street. He agreed that the
