Home My WebLink About1532 Howard Avenue - Staff ReportCity of Burlingame Design Review Amendment for a First and Second Story Addition Item # ' Regular Action Calendar Address: 1532 Howard Avenue Meeting Date: 9/24/O1 Request: Design review amendment for a first and second story addition with detached garage (C.S. 25.57.010). Applicant: Deniz Salon APN: 028-291-080 Designer: Mathew Bolak Property Owner: Timothy Fay and Cappie Alverson Lot Area: 7668 SF General Plan: Low Density Residential Zoning: R-1 CEQA Status: Article 19. Categorically Exempt per Section: 15301 Class 1-(e) additions to existing structures provided the addition will not result in an increase of more than 50% of the floor area of the structures before the addition. History: On April 17, 2001, the Planning Commission voted 5-0-2 (Cers. Bojues and Osterling absent) to approve an application for design review at 1532 Howard Avenue. The existing site consisted of a two-story house with detached garaged. The approved plans showed additions to the first and second floors of the main dwelling and a new detached garage. The approved changes added an additional 593 SF of floor area on the property. The project is currently under construction. The applicant is now requesting a design review amendment to change some of the architectural elements, including roof pitch, for the main dwelling entryway and the detached garage. Summary: The applicant is proposing changes to the approved plans for the main entrance and the detached garage. The approved plans showed an entryway with a 3:12 pitch and composed of cedar shingles. The proposed entryway has a 12:12 pitch and is composed of a stone veneer. The approved detached garage had a 6:12 roof pitch, a plate height of 8'-9", and a single sectional garage door. The proposed changes include a gambrel roof with a combination 4:12 and 8:12 pitch, a reduced plate height of 8'-1 ", and double redwood garage doors. No change to the overall height of the garage is proposed with the amended plans. The approved roofing material on the main dwelling and garage was asphalt shingle and the applicant is now proposing a shake roof. A copy of sections of the approved plans is attached to the plans for the proposed amendments. The proposed revisions are shown on the revised plans date stamped September 14, 2001. This change is being brought to your attention since condition #2 of the approved project requires a change in roof pitch and architectural features to be reviewed by the Planning Commission. There are no proposed changes to the approved floor area and footprint of the house and detached garage. The applicant is requesting the following: • Design Review amendment for first and second story addition Design Review Amendment for a First and Second Story Addition 1532 Howard Avenue CURRENT PROPOSED EXISTING ALLOWED/REQ'D PROPOSAL 9/14/O1 SETBACKS Front (lst flr): (2nd flr): no change no change 17'-0"* block average = 18'-3" no change no change 27'-6" 20'-0" Side (left): no change no change 6'-0" 4'-0" (right): no chan e g no change 10'-4" 4'-0" Rear (lst flr): no change 69'-0" 73'-0" 15'-0" (2nd flr): no change �3'-0" 84'-6" 20'-0" Lot Coverage: no change 2390 SF 2223 SF 3067 no change 31% 29% 40% FAR: no change 3560 SF 2967 SF 3954 SF no change 0.46 FAR 0.39 FAR 0.51 FAR Parking: no change 2 covered 2 covered no change (20'-8" x 20') (20' x 20') no change 1 uncovered 1 uncovered (9' x 20') (9' x 20') # of bedrooms: no change no change 5 --- Height: no change no change 28'-8" 30'-0" DH Envelope: no change complies complies see code * Existing non-conforming condition Staff Comments: See attached.

C. Deal noted for the record that because of a business relationship with the applicant, he will abstain from comment and vote on Item 2c, 1324 Drake. One member of the audience clarified that her item was on the regular action calendar. Dave Woodrow, 1316 Drake asked for a clarification of what the exception for height meant for the project at 1324 Drake. Charmin Luzuriaga noted that since the overage was between 30' and 36' it required a special permit which is an exception granted if the proposed additional height is needed in order to achieve the architectural integrity of an architectural style. The standards for granting a special permit are less rigorous than those for a variance. A variance is required when the height requested is over 36 feet. Mr. Woodrow did not call the item off the consent calendar for further hearing and action. There were no further comments from the floor. There were no requests from commission to remove any of the items on the consent calendar. 2A. 1532 HOWARD AVENUE - ZONED R-1 — APPLICATION FOR DESIGN REVIEW FOR A FIRST AND SECOND STORY ADDITION (MATTHEW BOLAK, DESIGNER; DENIZ SALON, APPLICANT AND PROPERTY OWNER) 2B. 21 DWIGHT ROAD - ZONED R-1- APPLICATION FOR DESIGN REVIEW AND SPECIAL PERMIT FOR DECLINING HEIGHT ENVELOPE FOR A SECOND STORY ADDITION (RANDY GRANGE, TRG ARCHITECTS, ARCHITECT, APPLICANT AND PROPERTY OWNER) 2C. 1324 DRAKE AVENUE — ZONED R-1 — APPLICATION FOR DESIGN REVIEW AND SPECIAL PERMIT FOR HEIGHT FOR A NEW TWO-STORY SINGLE FAMILY DWELLING AND DETACHED GARAGE (TZER HUNG, APPLICANT AND PROPERTY OWNER; JD & ASSOCIATES, DESIGNER) C.
