While the project appears to not require sprinklers based upon proposed addition
and remodel, the project is close. Be advised where more than one (1) addition
and/or alteration for which building permits are required are made within a two (2)
year period and said alterations are made to the premises of the same occupant. In
such circumstances, the sum of these additions and/or alterations construction costs
during this two (2) year period shall be aggregated for the purpose of calculating the
replacement cost value formula. Final determination will be made and the plan
review phase of the projeci.
It is very important that you understand the threshold indicated by BMC §17.04.030.
Designer, contractor, and owner should communicate specifically the extent of
demolition and remodel. Keeping in mind any change orders and addendums
which increase the total amount of square footage added or remodeled after
plan review would be applied to the sprinkler ordinance.

WHY SHOULD WE WORRY ABOUT SOIL EROSION?
'" • ��U
Water and wind cany soil from our Bay Area land down into our
streams, Iakes and the Bay. This soil carries with it pollu-
tants such as oiI and grease, chemicals, fertilizers, animal
wastes and bacteria, which threaten our water quality.
Such erosion also costs the home construction industry, Iocal
governmeni, and the homeowner untold mi�ions of dollars
a year.
Nature slowly wears away Iand, 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 Ioss 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, fIood 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 tfie Oakland hills
above Lake Temescal fl1led the Iake to such an extent that it had
to be dredged in 1979 at a public cost of $750,000.
NBED MORE INFORMATION?
ABAG has produced a slide/tape show on soil erosion
called "Money Down the Drain." It is available for showing
to any interested group. Ca1I ABAG Public Affairs at (415)
841-9730.
ABAG has also published a"Manual of Standards for Sur-
face Runoff Control Measures" which deals extensively
with designs and practices for erosion prevention, sedi-
ment control, and control of urban runoff. The manual
addresses problems and solutions as they apply to
California and the Bay Area. It can be purchased from
ABAG and is available on reference at many Iocal Iibraries
and in city and county public works and planning depart-
ments.
USDA Soi1 Conservation Service personnel are willing to
provide more information on specifc erosion problems.

"Wiaterize" your property by mid-September. Don't
wait uniil spring to put in Iandscaping. You need
wiater protectioa. Fina1 Iandscaping can be done
Iater.
Inexpensive measures installed by fall wi1l give you
protection quickly that will Iast aI1 during tne wet
season.
In oae aftemooa 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 Ioosen and roughen soil so it wi11
hold seeds.
�. ' j:
, .,
�,_'�
Seediag of bare slopes
• Hand broadcast or use a"breast seeder." A typical
yard can be done in Iess than an hour.
• Give seeds a boost with fertiiizer.
• Mu1ch if you can, with grass clippings and Ieaves,
bark chips or straw.
• Use nettir'.g to hold soil and seeds on steep slopes.
• Check with your Iocal nursery for advice.
• �
Wiater alert
� Check before storms to see that drains and ditches
are not clogged by Ieaves and rubble.
� Check after major storms to be sure drains are clear
and vegetation is holding on slopes. Repair as
necess ary.
� Spot seed any bare areas.
WHA? YOU CAN DO'�O
CONTROL EROSION
AND PROTEC?
YOUR PROPERTY
Soil erosion costs Bay Area homeowners millions of dol-
Iars a y�ar. We Iose 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 an d prevent future
headaches by following
these guidelines:
..
;��,;,;;;,,,,,;a..,..
:ni�';�;j�i� -;�ij;ij'riij,r;°
- � ::,;;,!;Lrr
BEFORE AND
DURING
CONS�RUCTION
• 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 wi11 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 wi11
naturally curb erosion,
improve the appea:ance
and the value of your
property, and reduce the
cost of Iandscaping IatQr.)
• Use fencing to protect plants from fI1 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 Iand and disturb the
earth as Iittle 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
on aII areas that are not to be paved or otherwise
covered.
• 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
Grass provides the
cheapest and most ef-
fective sbort-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 Wii�l
your Iocal nursery, the
U.S. Department of Ag-
riculture Soil Conserva-
tion Service, or the
University of California
Cooperative Extension.
Malches hold soil moisture and provide ground protection
from rain damage. They also provide a favorable envi-
ronment for startin�g and growing plants. Easy-to-obtain
mulches are grass clippings, Ieaves, sawdust, bark chips
and straw
Straw mulch is nearly 16C3% effective when held in place by
spraying with an organic glue or wood fiber (tackifers), by
punching it into the soil with a shovel or roller, or by tack-
ing a netting over it.
Commercial appIications of
wood fibers combined with
various seeds and fertilizers
(hydraulic mulching) are effec- -: .:: :--
tive in stabilizing sloped areas. �
Hydrauiic mulching with a ,;
tackifer should
_
-
,.:. :.
- . : ;-
be done in two
.. _:.._.. : , :;_.:.. ....
separate appli- . . . , , - ' ' '
cations: the first
composed of seed fertilizer and half the mulcfi, the second
composed of the remaining mulch and tackifier. Commer-
cial hydraulic mulch applicators—who also provide other
erosion control services — are Iisted under "Iandscaping" 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 draiazge can be collected in barrels or storage con-
tainers or routed into Iawns, 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.
STRU CTURAL 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.
7o keep water from carrying soil from your site and dump-
ing it into nearby lots, streets, streams and channeis, you
need ways to reduce its volume and speed. Sorne exam-
ples of what you migfit use are:

Pollutio� Prevention It's Part of the� Plan
It is your responsibility to do the job right!
Runoff from streets and otherpav�:d azeas is a�raajor sou�e of pollutionin locaT cieeks, San Francisco Bay and the Pacific Ocean.
Consiruction activities can directly a$ect the health o£ our waters unless contractors and crews plan ahead to keep dirt, debris, and other
construction waste away from strn-m drains and crecks. Following these guidelines will ensuic your compliance with local stormwater
ordinancc requirements. Remember, ongoing monitoring and mairitcnance of installed controls is crucial to pmper implementation.

CITY OF BURL/NGAME PLANN/NG COMM/SS/ON — Approved Minufes March 10, 2008
4. 1417 BERNAL AVENUE, ZONED R-1 — APPLICATION FOR CONDITIONAL USE PERMITS AND
SPECIAL PERMIT TO USE A PORTION OF AN EXISTING DETACHED GARAGE FOR RECREATION
PURPOSES (TRENT AND ANNE WRIGHT, APPLICANTS AND PROPERTY OWNERS; AND
WINGES ARCHITECTS, INC., ARCHITECT) PROJECT PLANNER: RUBEN HURIN
Reference staff report dated March 10, 2008, with attachments. Senior Planner Brooks presented the
report, reviewed criteria and staff comments. Seven (7) conditions were suggested for consideration.
Chair Cauchi opened the public hearing.
Commission comments:
Requested clarification regarding the bedroom count for the residence, applicant indicates the count is
reducing from four to three bedrooms.
Staff noted that door into study would need to be widened to 6-feet, rather than 5-feet, and the door
removed, to ensure that at least 50% of the wall is open to the adjacent room in order to exclude the room
from being considered a bedroom, so the bedroom count remains at four.
Jerry Winges, 1290 Howard Avenue; represented the applicant.
Space being created for pool table, etc. Lower bedroom being converted to study. Reducing four
bedroom house to three bedroom house; will change door to qualify not as a bedroom. Upgrading
look of garage and windows.
Additional Commission comments:
Call out materials for French doors and garage door.
Public comments:
None
There were no further comments and the public hearing was closed.
Further Commission comments:
The request should not be supported; the applicant is moving living space closerto neighbor's yard;
and creating the potential for an illegal unit.
The bathroom off of the rumpus room is large enough to accommodate a shower, the bar looks like
it could be converted to a kitchen; these characteristics lend themselves to conversion of the
rumpus room to an illegal unit.
The house is not that large; the proposed improvements are appropriate.
Commissioner Osterling 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 and date
stamped February 4, 2008, sheets T-1, A1.1, A2.1, A2.2, A3.1 and A5.1;
2. that the walls adjacent to the property line in the accessory structure shall be of sound-rated
construction to eliminate noise transmission to the neighboring property, the window over the sink
shall be eliminated, and the unfinished space over the garage shall not be converted to conditioned
7
CITY OF BURL/NGAME PLANN/NG COMM/SS/ON — Approved Minutes March 10, 2008
space in the future;
3. that if the structures on the property are demolished in the future, the rumpus room in the accessory
structure shall not be re-built;
4. that the accessory structure shall only be used for parking (one covered parking space) and for
recreational purposes with a half-bathroom (toilet and sink);
5. that the accessory structure shall never include a kitchen, there shall be no shower or tub added
without an amendment to this Conditional Use Permit, and the accessory structure shall never be
used for living purposes as a second dwelling unit;
6. that the conditions of the Chief Building Official's February 8, 2008, memo, the City Engineer's and
Fire Marshal's February 11, 2008, memos, and the NPDES Coordinator's February 13, 2008, memo
shall be met;
7. that demolition or removal of the existing structures and any grading or earth moving on the site
shall not occur until a building permit has been issued and such site work shall be required to
comply with all the regulations of the Bay Area Air Quality Management District;
8. that the project shall complywith the Construction and Demolition Debris Recycling Ordinance which
requires affected demolition, new construction and alteration projects to submit a Waste Reduction
plan and meet recycling requirements; any partial or full demolition of a structure, interior or exterior,
shall require a demolition permit; and
9. that the project shall meet all the requirements of the California Building and Uniform Fire Codes,
2007 Edition, as amended by the City of Burlingame.
The motion was seconded by Commissioner Vistica.
Discussion of motion:
■ If the structures on the site are demolished in the future, the rumpus room shall not be re-built.
• Consider reducing the size of the bathroom, or eliminating it.
• lt was noted that it would be possible for the rumpus room to be illegally converted to another unit in
the future, without the City's knowledge.
• Rear setbacks are required to preserve the peace of neighbors; this encroaches into yard area
intended to protect neighbors; can't convert a garage to living space; will be converted to illegal unit;
approval is setting a precedent.
• Require that the walls adjacent to the neighbor be sound rated (STC rating); plus there is a 10-foot
easement between the properties.
■ Consider eliminating the window above the sink and that the window in the other part of the rumpus
room could be moved to be greater than 10-feet from property line; doing so would eliminate the
request for a Conditional Use Permit.
■ The maker, and second, of the motion agreed to require a sound-rated wall, elimination of the
window above the sink and that the area over the garage not be converted to conditioned space.
Chair Cauchi called for a voice vote on the motion to approve. The motion passed 4-3-0 (Commissioners
Auran, Yie and Cauchi dissenting). Appeal procedures were advised. This item concluded at 8:32 p.m.
