Applicant and Designer: Mark Robertson, Mark Roberston Design APN: 028-291-040 Property Owner: 1516 Howard LLC Lot Area: 7,057 SF General Plan: Low Density Residential Zoning: R-1 Environmental Review: The subject property is located within the Burlingame Park No. 2 subdivision. Based upon documents that were submitted to the Planning Division by a Burlingame property owner in 2009, it was indicated that the entire Burlingame Park No. 2, Burlingame Park No. 3, Burlingame Heights, and Glenwood Park subdivisions may have historical characteristics that would indicate that properties within this area could be potentially eligible for listing on the National or California Register of Historical Places. Therefore, for any property located within these subdivisions, a Historic Resource Evaluation must be prepared prior to any significant development project being proposed to assess whether the existing structure(s) could be potentially eligible for listing on the National or California Register of Historical Places. A Historic Resource Evaluation was prepared for this property by Page & Turnbull, Inc., dated August 5, 2014. The results of the evaluation concluded that 1516 Howard Avenue does not appear to be individually eligible for listing in the National or California Registers under any criteria. Because there was a potential impact on historic resources, an Initial Studywas prepared forthe project. Based on the analysis by Page and Turnbull, it was determined that there would be no adverse environmental impacts, and a Negative Declaration has been prepared (see attached ND-579-P). The purpose of the present review is to hold a public hearing and evaluate that this conclusion, based on the initial study, facts in the Negative Declaration, public comments and testimony received at the hearing, and Planning Commission observation and experience, are consistent with the finding of no significant environmental impact. Project Description: The applicant is proposing to demolish an existing two-story single family dwelling and attached single -car garage to build a new, two-story single family dwelling and detached two -car garage. The proposed house and detached garage will have a total floor area of 3,603 SF (0.51 FAR) where 3,758 SF (0.53 FAR) is the maximum allowed (including covered porch and chimney exemptions). The proposed project is 155 SF below the maximum allowed FAR and is therefore within 4.1 % of the maximum allowed FAR. A total of three off-street parking spaces are required for the proposed five -bedroom house, two of which must :)e covered. The new detached garage will provide two code -compliant covered parking spaces; one uncovered parking space (9' x 20') is provided in the driveway. All other Zoning Code requirements have been met. The applicant is requesting the following applications: ■ Negative Declaration, a determination that there are no significant environmental effects as a result of this project; ■ Design Review for a new, two-story single family dwelling and detached garage (C.S. 25.57.010 (a) (1)); and ■ Special Permit for declining height envelope (79 SF along the right side of the house extends beyond the declining height envelope) (C.S. 25.26.075). As noted above, the applicant is requesting approval of a Special Permit for declining height envelope along the right side of the house. The point of departure for the declining height envelope is based on the average of the front and rear property corner spot elevations at each side (cannot be based on the 15-foot front and rear Negative Declaration, Design Review and Special Permit 1516 Howard Avenue setback lines because the difference between these two points is not more than 2'-0") (Code Section 25.26.075 (b) (4)). Due to the abrupt downward slope caused by an existing creek running along the rear of the lot, the point of departure for the declining height envelope at each side of the house is approximately four feet below the finished floor of the house. As a result, the right side of the house extends 79 SF beyond the declining height envelope. 1516 Howard Avenue Lot Area: t,uot 5r Plans date stamped: December 16, 2014 PROPOSED ALLOWED/REQUIRED i SETBACKS Front (1st fir): 19'-Y 19'-Y (block average) ..... _..._._._..........._..(. 2ndflr):........-.._.-..._....__.._.._._....- -- - 27'-8" 20'-0» Side (left): ----..._.._.._...._ _.... _..... _......... 12'-0" i 4t-011 (right): 4'-0" 4'-0" Rear (1st fir): 54'-9" to porch 15'-0" (2nd fir): --..._...._..... _..._...__...- .._......_.._.__.._ 54'-9" to balcony _.._.__......_......._........._........_ -...... ... -......._. __. _.-. _. _._..........__...._....--- 20'-0" Lot Coverage: -.-._. 2411 SF 2823 SF .. ..... __................. ............... _........ _... ......... __............ 34.1 % ...... __.......__........................_............__....._.....--.... __.. j 40% ............ ..._........__- FAR: 3603 SF ...... .............. _........ _.... _.. j 3758 SF' 0.51 FAR 0.53 FAR # of bedrooms: 5 I --- Off-Street Parking: 2 covered 2 covered (20' x 20') (20' x 20') 1 uncovered 1 uncovered (9' x 20') (9' x 20') ... .............. -.-... _....... .............. ... _.......... _..... .._..----............. -- ............ ---..._.....—._.. .... _.... ....... _.- Height: 26,-6 i 30'-0" _._._._....__.._._..-- - --...._.. ._.._... - .......... _._._. _ _...._._..__.. _-.- ----- T----.....-- ._..._..._._......--...__......._.... _..__._.._...._..

Staff Comments: Planning staff would note that Burlingame Creek runs along the rear of the property. There - are no improvements proposed beyond the top of bank. As part of the building permit application, the applicant will be required to provide engineering calculations to demonstrate that the will be no impacts to the bank or creek. See attached memos from the Building, Parks, Fire, Engineering and Stormwater Divisions. Design Review Study Meeting: At the Planning Commission Design Review Study meeting on November 24, 2014, the Commission had several comments and suggestions concerning the proposed project (see attached November 24, 2014 Planning Commission Minutes). The applicant submitted a response letter and revised plans dated December 16, 2014 to address the Planning Commission's comments and suggestions. Please refer to the applicant's response letter for a summary of discussions with the neighbors and changes made to the project in response to the Commission's concerns. Negative Declaration, Design Review and Special Permit 1516 Howard Avenue Negative Declaration: Because there was a potential impact on historic resources, the proposed project is subject to the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act. The Planning Commission held an environmental scoping session for this project on November 24, 2014. An Initial Study was prepared by the Planning Division staff. It has been determined that the proposed project can be covered by a Negative Declaration since the Initial Study did not identify any adverse impacts from the proposed construction of the new single family dwelling and detached garage (please refer to the attached Negative Declaration No. 579-P). The Negative Declaration was circulated for 20 days for public review on January 20, 2015. The 20-day review period ends on February 9, 2015; as of the printing date of this staff report (February 2, 2015), no comments have been submitted on the Negative Declaration. Required Findings for a Negative Declaration: For CEQA requirements the Planning Commission must review and approve the Negative Declaration, finding that on the basis of the Initial Study and any comments received in writing or at the public hearing that there is no substantial evidence that the project will have a significant (negative) effect on the environment. Design Review Criteria: The criteria for design review as established in Ordinance No. 1591 adopted by the Council on April 20, 1998 are outlined as follows: 1. Compatibility of the architectural style with that of the existing character of the neighborhood; 2. Respect for the parking and garage patterns in the neighborhood; 3. Architectural style and mass and bulk of structure; 4. Interface of the proposed structure with the structures on adjacent properties; and 5. Landscaping and its proportion to mass and bulk of structural components. Required Findings for a Special Permit: In order to grant a Special Permit, the Planning Commission must find that the following conditions exist on the property (Code Section 25.51.020 a-d): (a) The blend of mass, scale and dominant structural characteristics of the new construction or addition are consistent with the existing structure's design and with the existing street and neighborhood; (b) the variety of roof line, facade, exterior finish materials and elevations of the proposed new structure or addition are consistent with the existing structure, street and neighborhood; (c) the proposed project is consistent with the residential design guidelines adopted by the city; and (d) removal of any trees located within the footprint of any new structure or addition is necessary and is consistent with the city's reforestation requirements, and the mitigation for the removal that is proposed is appropriate. This space intentionally left blank. 3 Negative Declaration, Design Review and Special Permit 1516 Howard Avenue Planning Commission Action: The Planning Commission should conduct a public hearing on the application, and consider public testimony and the analysis contained within the staff report and within the Negative Declaration.

RE: RESPONSES TO COMMENTS FROM OUR 11/24/2014 HEARING. DEAR COMMISSION MEMBERS, Our hearing was attended by our neighbors who live on each side of our property, Kathy Schmidt at 1511 Howard Ave., and Amy Papazian at 1520 Howard Ave. The neighbors voiced concern that the proposed new house was very large and would negatively impact their privacy. The Commission suggested changing roof lines, adding Pittesporum hedge rows along our driveway, etc. to mitigate the neighbors concerns. The commission also mentioned that the two bathroom windows on the East Elevation formed a slant that might look better evened up. The Bathroom windows were revised to be the same height as requested. The Commission also suggested that a Porch be added to the front of the house. I prepared a few sketches of Porches and asked Ms. Statz (the property owner) to consider adding a Porch to her house stressing that the floor area would be granted free, and would not impact her plan. She refused to even look at the sketches. She considers a Porch as inviting in bad energy to the structure and very much likes the look of the front of the house. Ms. Statz strongly objects to having a Porch and will not consider it. Our proposed new house is a clone of previous houses Ms. Statz has developed. Ms. Statz currently lives at 133 Costa Rica Ave. which is three blocks West of our new location. The house is a realtor favorite and Ms. Statz has received many compliments from friends and associates about how it looks and how it feels. One of the commission members also commented that this house was her favorite of all the plans of mine she has reviewed when she approved the house a few years ago. Several realtors have recommended that Ms. Statz just crank out the same house over and over; "and not change a thing". I have a long standing promise with the Commission that I would not repeat the same plan and just "cookie cutter" new houses in Burlingame. So I have modified the 1516 Howard plans slightly from the 133 Costa Rica plan so the houses won't appear the same. The Street Elevation has been changed on the 2nd Flr. to add an extra corner and extra hipped roof line and the left gable wall on the 1" Flr. has been pulled forward a few feet. The East Elevation was changed eliminating a 2nd Flr. balcony. The West Elevation has been changed with a different chimney configuration and the elimination of the side entry. Due to the smaller lot size, the new house is aprox. 7% smaller and the roof pitch is slightly 918 E. GRANT PLACE, SAN MATEO, CALIF. 94402 U.S.A • TEL: (650) 571-1125 • FAX: (650) 571-1399 lower than the Costa Rica house. Besides these changes and a few changes in trim, finishes and colors, the houses are identical. This gave me the rare opportunity of being able to show our neighbors an actual sample of the house we are proposing to build between them. I dropped off a set of our plans for the neighbors a few days after the hearing so they could have their own reference copies and we scheduled a meeting on Saturday, Dec. 6th The meeting was attended by Steve and Kathy Schmidt, Amy Papazian and myself. We walked the site and I located the new house relative to the existing house and the location of fence lines and fence treatments and driveway drainage flow lines. We also discussed the creek and Steve Schmidt described flooding issues and bank erosion issues that I will address when I prepare the construction plans. We then walked over to 133 Costa Rica and I gave them a tour of the house, inside and out, so they could see for themselves the views from inside the house, lines of sight for privacy, etc. I described the various differences / changes between the two houses and I mentioned that I was hitting a brick wall with my client when it came to adding a front porch. Steve Schmidt agreed with Ms. Statz and stated that he felt adding a porch to the front of the house was unnecessary and would just "mess up" a nice design. We returned to Howard Ave. and reviewed the privacy considerations with our new point of reference. The neighbors seemed quite satisfied that the new house was not that obtrusive, was not as massive as the drawings appear, and quite liked the overall design. We propose the following changes to the plans as a result of our meeting: 1) On the right side of the lot, facing the Schmidt residence, we will saw cut the (E) concrete driveway along the Property Line (set by the Surveyor) so as not to interfere with the (E) drainage Swale. We shall build a fence that exactly matches the (E) wood fence 6" inside of our property line against the driveway saw cut. We shall plant trees as shown on the Landscaping Plan along our side yard similar to the Costa Rica house. 2) On the left side of the lot, facing the Papazian residence, we shall reduce the driveway width to 9"-6" as the Commission had suggested and we will plant a pittisporum hedge row down its length. The hedge shall transition to a low Boxwood hedge at the front of the lot. We shall also save an (E) Magnolia Tree that is on the property line and we promised Ms. Papazian that we would install the fences before we start construction. 3) On the left side West Elevation I have deepened the recess of the second floor Master Closet to show more lower roof. This is how the Costa Rica house was designed and I think reduces the mass of the elevation significantly. It was decided not to lower roof lines because the neighbors and I felt that having higher windows especially at the Master Bathroom bay window provided greater privacy. Thank you for your kind attention, Sincerely, Mark Robertson c.c. Steve and Kathy Schmidt, 1511 Howard Avenue. Amy Papazian, 1520 Howard Avenue. Peggy Statz, 1516 Howard Avenue / file.

City of Burlingame Meeting Minutes Planning Commission 7:00 PM BURLINGAME CITY HALL 501 PRIMROSE ROAD BURLINGAME, CA 94010 Council Chambers 1516 Howard Avenue, zoned R-1 - Application for Environmental Review, Design Review and Special Permit for declining height envelope for a new, two-story single family dwelling and detached garage (Mark Robertson, Mark Robertson Design, applicant and designer; 1516 Howard LLC, property owner) (55 noticed) Staff Contact: Ruben Hurin All Commissioners had visited the property. Commissioner Gum reported that he spoke with Debbie Way at 1521 Howard Avenue and the Gallagher Family at 1517 Howard Avenue. Chair Bandrapalli reported that she met with the renters of the house. There were no other ex-parte communications to report. Senior Planner Hurin presented an overview of the staff report. Questions of staff.- - None. Chair Bandrapalli opened the public hearing. Mark Robertson represented the applicant. Commission comments/questions: - Concerned about the placement of the driveway and the impact upon a significant street tree. Could the driveway be flipped? Also, could a different front -yard tree be proposed than the species for the street tree? (Robertson - the landscape architect felt that the tree is overgrowing its location and affecting the sidewalk that will need to be replaced. Two replacement will be installed, can increase to 24-inch box size.) - On the East Elevation, there are three windows on the first floor that are stepping down, can you line these up so the sill heights are the same? (Roberston - yes.) - Questioned the height of the chimney, why does it need to be so high? (Robertson - it is a wood -burning fireplace and needs to comply with building code requirements.) - Asked if a more substantial front porch was considered? (Robertson - house is /ocatond close to El Camino Real and for concerns with traffic and safety, the owner didn't want that type of feature.) House could benefit from a more substantial element of this sort. - Feels the architecture fits in quite well with the neighborhood. However, wonders if the massing could be broken down a bit more, especially on the West Elevation. - Speak to the client about adding a more substantial porch feature, would soften the house. - Suggested sharing the plans with the neighbors. Public comments: Cathy Schmidt, 1512 Howard Avenue: Feels the style fits in with the neighborhood. Question regarding the declining height envelope and how it is calculated. City of Burlingame Page 1 Printed on 21212015 Planning Commission Meeting Minutes November 24, 2014 - Concerned with the proposed massing. The extension into the rear yard will completely block rear yard with shading. - There is a creek along the rear yard, not a ditch. The drainage element should influence the size of the house. - Would like a chance to speak with the designer and owner. Amy Papazian, 1520 Howard Avenue: - A big change is the addition of a driveway along her property. - Seems like a massive project, especially as it extends toward the rear. - Her house is a mirror image of the existing home. - Likes the design; believes it will fit with the neighborhood. - Concerned that there would be a driveway on both sides of her house, increase in vehicle traffic and noise down the driveway. Chair Bandrapalli closed the public hearing. Additional Commission comments/questions: - There appears to be an error on the development table the staff report with regards to the FAR. (Hurin - will review and correct.) - The lot coverage and FAR are less than permitted, but feels like a massive house. - Feels that there are revisions that need to be made. - Encouraged revisiting the driveway width to assist in providing landscaping along the neighboring property to provide privacy; perhaps a Pittosporum hedge can be used since it is fast growing. - Look closely at adding a porch. Is likely a spec house, so someone buying the house would understand being so close to El Camino Real, is signing up for urban living. - Revisit side elevations to break up the massing. Commissioner Yie made a motion, seconded by Chair Bandrapalli, to place this item on the Regular Action Calendar when ready for consideration. Chair Bandrapalli asked for a voice vote, and the motion carried by the following vote: Aye: 7 - Bandrapalli, DeMartini, Yie, Loftis, Sargent, Terrones, and Gum City of Burlingame Page 2 Printed on 2/2/2015 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT • 501 PRIMROSE ROAD • BURLINGAME, CA 94010 p: 650.558.7250 • f: 650.696.3790 • www.burlingame.org APPLICATION TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION Type of application: XDesign Review ❑ Variance ❑ Conditional Use Permit ❑ Special Permit ❑ Parcel #: ❑ Other: PROJECT ADDRESS: 15I (-� HO W6RD AVM/UE 0 Please indicate the contact person for this project APPLICANT project contact person OK to send electronic copies of documents Name: MARK AD-86�i 57N Address: 29 E • 6AAN 1 PL .

Your answers to the following questions can assist the Planning Commission in making the decision as to whether the findings can be made for your request. Please type or write neatly in ink. Refer to the back of this form for assistance with these questions. We are requesting a Special Permit to allow us to use the 15ft. front and rear setbacks as our points of measure for our Declining Height Envelope. Our request to use the setback allowance was denied because our lot is too flat between the setbacks — we do not meet the 2ft. differential minimum requirement. At the very rear of our lot is a stream/drainage ditch and our P.L. happens to fall at the bottom of this ditch. The ditch is 8 ft. below adjacent grade and is an anomaly to the area. A Site Section diagram has been attached at the back of this application to illustrate the condition. Requiring us to use the bottom of the ditch to calculate our DHE seems absurd and unreasonable. It drops our point of departure 4 ft. below adjacent grade at the house, and creates a required 2nd Floor setback of it ft. I By allowing us to use the 15ft. S.B.s as our points of measure removes this anomaly and will provide a balanced looking house. A Street Elevation drawing has been attached at the back of this application to show the DHE calculated from the 15 ft. setbacks. Explain why the blend of mass, scale and dominant structural characteristics of the new construction or addition are consistent with the existing structure's design and with the existing street and neighborhood. The (E) 2-story house does not have an inset second floor on the right side. It actually overhangs the first floor by 12". The Elevation is completely flat and has no articulation. Our new house will be a vast improvement. Our second floor is inset in accordance with adjacent grade and is heavily articulated. We have changed the driveway location for the new house, so it will now be flanked on both sides by driveways. This creates a sense of balance and openness between the adjacent houses. 2. Explain how the variety of roof line, facade, exterior finish materials and elevations of the proposed new structure oraddition are consistent with the existing structure, street and neighborhood. The new house improves the pattern of the street by having driveways between both of our adjacent neighbors. We are proposing a shingle style home that is nicely balanced and well articulated that we believe will be a pleasing asset to the street. There are other shingle style homes on the street and we feel that our design will mix well with the street. 3. How will the proposed project be consistent with the residential design guidelines adopted by the city (C.S. 25.57)? Our project is completely consistent with City design guidelines. The shingle style is found throughout the neighborhood and will blend in well. The driveway pattern has been changed to provide open space between our adjacent neighbors. The mass and bulk of the home is mitigated by lots of articulation and our material selection. Open space has been provided on both sides of the house by driveway location. The project includes full lot landscaping with the planting of 4 additional trees to soften the mass of the house. 4. Explain how the removal of any trees located within the footprint of any new structure or addition is necessary and is consistent with the city's reforestation requirements. What mitigation is proposed for the removal of any trees? Explain why this mitigation is appropriate. Six minor fruit trees (Lemon), a Dracaena (in poor condition) and a City Street tree are to be removed to make way for our new house and driveway. The Project shall be fully landscaped and 6 new trees and 30 significant shrubs shall be planted as show on our Landscaping Plans to compliment our project.

Copper from Buildings May Harm Aquatic Life Copper can harm aquatic life in San Francisco Bay. Water that comes into contact with architectural copper may contribute to impacts, especially during installation, cleaning, treating, or washing. Patination solutions that are used to obtain the desired shade of green or brown typically contain acids. After treatment, when the copper is rinsed to remove these acids, the rinse water is a source of pollutants. Municipalities prohibit discharges to the storm drain of water used in the installation, cleaning, treating and washing of architectural copper. Building with copper flashing, gutter and drainpipe. Use Best Management Practices (BMPs) The following Best Management Practices (BMPs) must be implemented to prevent prohibited discharges to storm drains. During Installation • If possible, purchase copper materials that have been pre-patinated at the factory. If patination is done on -site, implement one or more of the following BMPs: o Discharge the rinse water to landscaping. Ensure that the rinse water does not flow to the street or storm drain. Block off storm drain inlet if needed. o Collect rinse water in a tank and pump to the sanitary sewer. Contact your local sanitary sewer agency before discharging to the sanitary sewer. o Collect the rinse water in a tank and haul off -site for proper disposal. Consider coating the copper materials with an impervious coating that prevents further corrosion and runoff. This will also maintain the desired color for a longer time, requiring less maintenance. Storm drain inlet is blocked to prevent prohibited discharge. The water must be pumped and disposed of properly. During Maintenance Implement the following BMPs during routine maintenance activities, such as power washing the roof, re-patination or re -application of impervious coating: • Block storm drain inlets as needed to prevent runoff from entering storm drains. • Discharge the wash water to landscaping or to the sanitary sewer (with permission from the local sanitary sewer agency). If this is not an option, haul the wash water off -site for proper disposal.
