The applicant is proposing first and second story additions to the existing house. The existing detached garage will not be altered. With the proposed additions, the floor area will be 3,110 SF (0.52 FAR) where 3,239 (0.54 FAR) is the maximum allowed on site. The applicant is requesting a special permit for height for the proposed second story. The height of the existing house is 29'-7", as measured from the average top of curb to the highest ridge. The proposed addition will be 31'-4" to the highest ridge. The applicant is requesting a special permit for a height between 30'-0" and 36'-0". The existing house has four bedrooms and the existing detached garage provides one covered parking space that is non-conforming in length (10' x 17'-5", where 10' x 18' is required for an existing space). With the proposed additions to the house, the number of bedrooms will not be increased. The detached garage will not be altered and therefore, the non-conforming covered parking space is not required to meet current code requirements for parking space length. The applicant is requesting the following applications: Design review for a second story addition (C.S. 25.57.010,a,2); and Special Permit for Height between 30'-0" and 36'-0".

In this letter, we would like to discuss our remodel at 1349 Bernal Avenue. We sincerely appreciate and have seriously taken the feedback from the board members into consideration with all decisions related to our remodel. We accept that replacing several windows made sense. Post this specific input from the planning commissioners, we have reintroduced the windows in the master closet and the transom window at the back of the master bedroom. We would like to address the removal of the window on the bed wall in our Master Bedroom. We believe that the removal this window is a benefit to us and also to our neighbors, Nicole and Ross Armstrong, whose input we also solicited as we proceeded with the remodel. 1. Please see note from Nicole Armstrong below: Hi Sonia, Further to our discussions, Ross and I are fully supportive of the removal of the window in your master bedroom. This particular window would have peered directly into our home (and specifically into our master bedroom and bath) and we have no objections at all that it has been removed from the Wadhawan's building plans. Please feel free to share this letter with the Burlingame Planning Commission and let us know if we can provide any further assistance. We look forward to having you move in and being part of the 1300 Bernal community! Sincerely, Ross & Nicole Armstrong 1353 Bernal Avenue Burlingame, CA 94010 nicole harvat armstrong cell: 415.830.1350 email: nicolearmstrong1@gmail.com Per Nicole's email above, they are most impacted by this window, as it can be seen most directly from the side of their home. The addition of this window (or any window on that wall) will impact their privacy. Please see attached photos for reference. 2. The blank wall does not architecturally take away from the neighborhood as it cannot be seen from the front, back or side of the house. The only place this wall can be seen is from Nicole and Ross' property. 3. Lastly, the removal of the window in our Master Bedroom does not effect the lighting in this room. As residents of Burlingame, we are just as vested in making Burlingame an extraordinary community as the Planning Commission is. We would greatly appreciate your support in moving forward without the addition of this window. Your support in removing this window will also help us maintain the good energy flow of our dream home. We would really like to personally walk all Planning Commissioners through our home to see that the removal of the Master window will not adversely effect the architecture or �ther integrity of our neighborhood. Please contact me with a good time to meet. I can be reached via email: soniais@gmail.com or phone: 925-876-1121. Many thanks for your support and all your work in making Burlingame such a charming place to live.

Several windows were deleted. I have clouded them and listed them below. Several windows were deleted. 1. One was on the master bedroom at the short setback side, where they are relatively close to the neighbors. The window was above the bed. The owner preferred to remove it for feng shui reasons. 2. One small window was deleted at the rear. It was just below the ridge peak. The original details remain directly under the ridge beam in that area. 3. One smail window was deleted on the side setback@ the driveway. It was in the master closet and the home owner wanted more wall storage. 4. One small window was deleted on the narrow side of the front porch. When the porch needed to be rebuilt, the engineer preferred having a shear wall in that direction and the homeowner also wanted wall space. The existing plaster detail has been deleted at the original front porch. While under construction, structural inadequacies of the front porch foundation were determined. The porch was rebuilt, so the existing detail no longer existed. The owner prefers the cleaner look with less detail around the archways. Also, you may notice that some front landscape steps were deleted. This was as per plan check requirements from Public Works across the right of way. If you have any questions please contact Daryl 650-364-1910 dary�darLrlbuckingham.com Thanks for your time and attention, Daryl Buckingham ��C�IVED '�rFa'� — I 2015 CITY OF BURLINGAME CDD-PLANNING DIV, Planning Commission Meeting Minutes June 22, 2015 (Stachnuik - will be addi.ng grids on the addition areas.) > Much improved from the original design.

Has seen many homes fhat have windows flanking the bed over the night stands rather than over the bed. Understands the feng shui principles that discourage the window over the bed. Doesn't feel that the deletion of the window on the bedroom wall would have been accepted in the original design. > High wrndows flanking either side of the bed could help solve fhe issue. > Noted that the plans show deletion of plaster detailing around the porch enfry. Noted that wood trim was being placed around fhe feature today. Wants to be certain that what is being built is what is being considered. (Wadhawan - will be wood trim that was seen in the field.) Liked the original ogee detail on the original design. Plan should reflect that there will be a wood detail. Meeker - noted that the project plans need to be revised to specifically match what is being requested.) > Would like to see the window in the master bedroom revisted. (Wadhawan - fhe headers are not in place to install windows flanking the bed. Cannot see this area excepi from the neighbor's house.) Not that much more difficult to place fhe required headers on either side of the bed space.) > The window on the second story right side appears not to match what rs shown on the plans.

Commissioner DeMartini reported that he had met with the property owner prior to the design review study. There were no other ex-parte communications. Reference staff report dated March 10, 2014 with attachments. Senior Planner Hurin presented the report, reviewed criteria and staff comments. Fifteen (15) conditions were suggested for consideration. There were no questions of staff. Chair Sargent opened the public hearing. Drew Flanders and Natalie Hyland represented the applicant. Commission questions/comments: ■ Appreciate adding the second pair of front columns. The post between the top of the column and the bottom of the beam leave it a bit insubstantial. (Flanders: We can carry it up to the bottom of the beam.) ■ If you have them pulled back they should be one layer rather than two. (Flanders: Agree. Better to have the main beam going across sitting on the post and have the side ones hanging off.) ■ Might need to shift the outer columns over so they are not hanging. (Hyland: Yes. If removed, will push column up. It will look like it is under the gutter line.) ■ Looks good adding the fireplace. Gable ends help. Wrap the stonework more? (Flanders: Looked at some houses where they do that, and there isn't a lot of room to do that. There will be planting in front.) ■ The columns on the right side look good too — very balanced. Public comments: None. There were no further comments and the public hearing was closed. Commission discussion: IYs pulled together well. Can go to approval. Add a condition about the columns. Commissioner Davis 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 Division date stamped February 24, 2014, sheets A1 through A5 and L1, with the provision that revised elevations showing modifications to the columns be submitted for review by the Planning Commission as an FYI priorto issuance of a Building Permit; �� BURLINGAME � COMMUNIIY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT • 501 PRIMROSE ROAD • BURLINGAME, CA 9401D p: 650.558.7250 • f: 650.696.3790 • www.burlingame.org APPLICATION TO TFIE PLANNING COMMISSION Type of application: C� Design Review ❑ /Variance ❑ Conditional Use Permit Q Speciai Permit PROJECT ADDRESS: /�./ �� '` �' "�I� I � Please indicate the contact person for this project APPLICANT project contact person ❑ Name Addres OK to send electronic copies of documents ❑ ��f�� S: .��, �1�b� City/State/Zip: � • C,L� ��v Phone: (07� �(�`l � LG �� ❑ Parcel ❑ Other: �1 ' ' � � � i� . ► . ��J , �, ARCHITECT/DESIGNER proje�t contact person ❑ OK to send electronic copies of documents ❑ Name: ��,i� �q�' , Address: City/State/Zip: Phone: Fax: E-mail: PROPERTY OWNER project contact person ❑ OK to send electronic copies of documents ❑ Name: lij��,� U��i�_9�[./'�i�� . . t �� Address: ��L1� � �� City/State/Zip: 11' • �� Phone: Fax: E-maii: / Q f`� ( Gi f v�c�7V1,�� C �* Burlingame Business License #: Z� C'`/I , � �. � � ,�� x � �� ..�; ��'� I ;� � �'01� +--i� or- 5u��ir�c,ar�^= �✓G°L'P�si�iVIP��J L�`�.. - - • � � � • � �%��il�'l`/��/1/�.'�J.�WIt%��f%\�1l�fv�lll�j�l�lJlialC/►� 1� 1 J ��.I� � AFFADAVITlSIGNATURE: I hereby certi er penalty of perjury that the information given herein is true and correct to the best of my knowledge and be' Applicant's signature: Date: �V ` ) g ' �/% I am aware of the propose pplication and hereby authorize the above applicant to submit this application to the Planning Commission.

The email explains that the 'Proposed' plans submitted have been further revised to reduce the scope of the design review amendment by reducing the number of changes proposed to the approved plans. With the attached email, the owner now proposes only the following changes to the previously approved plans (each of these as-built changes from the original approval has been installed on site and is shown on the plans labeled 'Proposed'): There is a smooth arch trim detail at the entry for the front porch, at the window to the right of the entry, and at the opening at the left side of the porch (also see the photograph of the front entry on the staff report cover); 2. The existing opening at the right side of the covered porch was eliminated; and 3. The master bedroom window at the rear of the second floor has been eliminated (also see the email explanation from owner and the letter of support from the neighbor that owns the property adjacent to this wall, dated January 18, 2015). With the attached email, the owner rescinds several of the as-built changes that were proposed as an FYI at the May 26, 2015 hearing. The following changes have been rescinded from the proposed amendment. These items are not shown on the plans labeled 'Proposed'. Please refer to the design shown on the previously approved plans, labeled 'Original', to see these items): Rear Elevation- the transom window beneath the second floor gable at the rear elevation will be added back to the design per the approved plans (see attached email, dated June 18, 2015, from the project contractor to confirm that the window has been ordered and will be installed); and Left Elevation- the closet window on the second floor will be added back to the design per the approved plans (this window has been installed on site). If you feel further clarification, please email me and I can contact you prior to the meeting. Erika CD/PLG-Lewit, Erika From: Deepak Chugh <deepakchugh@gmail.com> Sent: Thursday, June 18, 2015 11:27 AM To: CD/PLG-Lewit, Erika Cc: Sonia Wadhawan Subject: Dear Erika, 1349 Bernal Avenue - For the Planning Commission Received After 06.22.15 PC Meeting Item 8b 1349 Bernal Avenue page 2 of 5 (,U.11.lil ;`',;l.,,rc)., i��.( .:ii[.Ll d I�1�E R t'1.' F_ 1'.-i h: l!'1 � J:'V OF,ST.'1F1� I�1-'1�C?i?T I hope you are doing well. Thank you for sending over the comments from the Commissioners hearing on May 26, 2015. We are very appreciative and supportive of the Commissioners' feedback on the remodeling work completed at our home, 1349 Bernal Avenue. It is because of these efforts that Burlingame continues to maintain its abundant charm and why the city is one of the most desirable neighborhoods in the Bay Area. These are all key reasons why we purchased our home on Bernal Avenue in the first place and why we want to grow our family in our home in this awesome community. We are looking forward to working with the Commissioners' and you to complete our remodel and move back into our home (finally). Regarding the two items you had specified in your note, can you please share the color below with the Commissioners before our in-person meeting on June 22, 2015, which both Sonia and I will attend. 1) Arch Details: Like most re-models, unfortunately for us, ours has been behind schedule. It certainly was when the Commissioners or you might have come by and seen the facade. The outside trim / arch detail work commenced a week or so ago and is now in full swing. We are very cognizant of the elegance of the street and neighborhood, and please be rest assured the arch details will be done according to the plans that were submitted and passed. 2) Windows: We acknowledge and respect your feedback on the windows in the master bedroom. Hopefully, the details below will help you understand our position. (a) Window in the master closet - This has been added (we will bring pictures to the meeting) (b) Window on the back wall in the master facinq backyard - This will be added. We are waiting on window to arrive; and hopefully it will be done prior the meeting, in which case we will bring pictures, and if not we will bring confirmation from the contractor. (c) Window on the side wall in the master - We appreciate and understand your feedback on the window on the side wall in the master bedroom. This is one change we undertook during the construction and we sincerely hope that you will let us keep this change. My wife Sonia, is an ardent believer in the philosophy of Feng Shui. According to the philosophy, the bed positioning and bed positioning relative to the window, are key elements to facilitating positive energy (chi) in the room. The philosophy advocates that one maintain a solid wall behind a bed and at the same time not sleep under a window. Supposedly, when one sleeps under a window, one's personal energy tends to get weaker in time. Please see the links with additional details: • Feng Shui Bed Positioninq • http://fenq-shui.lovetoknow.com/Fenq Shui Help Bed Position and Window • Feng Shui Tips for Your Bed and Bedroom The side wall in the master room is where we will be placing our bed. We removed the window so that we facilitate positive energy and keep to the Feng Shui guidelines. Removing this window is inline with other Feng Shui elements that we have incorporated into our home such as stove/sink placement, moving the stairs from facing the front door, master bedroom placement (not over kitchen), mirrors on the back of bathroom doors and others. We would appreciate the Commission's flexibility in allowing us to keep this one change. ° Thank you for your help in working with the Commission and getting us to the completion of this now lengthy project.

Please feel free to share this letter with the Burlingame Planning Commission and let us know if we can provide any further assistance. We look forward to having you move in and being part of the 1300 Bernal community!

The following windows have been eliminated from the design that was previously approved by the Planning Commission: • Rear Elevation- the window beneath the second floor gable at the rear elevation; • Left Elevation- the closet window on the second floor; and • Right Elevation- the master bedroom window at the rear of the second floor. In addition, the following changes were made to the approved design at the entry porch: The plaster detailing of the existing covered porch entrance and the matching trim detail of the new window proposed to the right of the entrance were replaced with a smooth arch detail; The plaster detailing of the existing covered porch opening at the left side was replaced with a smooth arch detail; and The existing opening at the right side of the covered porch was eliminated. The architect submitted plans showing the originally approved and proposed building elevations, date stamped May 1, 2015, to show the changes to the previously approved design review project. Other than the changes detailed in the applicanYs letter and revised plans, there are no other changes proposed to the design of the house.

Several windows were deleted. I have clouded them and listed them below. Several windows were deleted. 1. One was on the master bedroom at the short setback side, where they are relatively close to the neighbors. The window was above the bed. The owner preferred to remove it for feng shui reasons. 2. One small window was deleted at the rear. It was just below the ridge peak. The original details remain directly under the ridge beam in that area. 3. One small window was deleted on the side setback@ the driveway. It was in the master closet and the home owner wanted more wall storage. 4. One small window was deleted on the narrow side of the front porch. When the porch needed to be rebuilt, the engineer preferred having a shear wall in that direction and the homeowner also wanted wall space. The existing plaster detail has been deleted at the original front porch. While under construction, structural inadequacies of the front porch foundation were determined. The porch was rebuilt, so the existing detail no longer existed. The owner prefers the cleaner look with less detail around the archways. Also, you may notice that some front landscape steps were deleted. This was as per plan check requirements from Public Works across the right of way.
