Applicant and Designer: Robert C. Wehmeyer, Wehmeyer Design APN: 026-044-010 Property Owners: Evan and Caren Weinshel Lot Area: 6,000 SF General Plan: Low Density Residential Zoning: R-1 Environmental Review Status: The project is Categorically Exempt from review pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), per Section 15301 (e)(1) of the CEQA Guidelines, which states that additions to existing structures are exempt from environmental review, provided the addition will not result in an increase of more than 50% of the floor area of the structures before the addition. Summary: The subject property is located at the corner of Bernal Avenue and Adeline Drive. The existing single story house with a detached garage, carport and patio cover contains 2,281 SF (0.38 FAR) of floor area and has two bedrooms. The applicant is proposing a 1,013 SF second story addition. With this application, the existing carport and patio cover would be removed (the existing carport was recently removed due to poor condition). With the proposed addition, the floor area will increase to 2,833 SF (0.47 FAR) where the zoning code allows a maximum of 3,302 SF (0.50 FAR). The proposed project is 199 SF below the maximum allowed FAR and is within 6% of the maximum allowed FAR. The applicant is requesting approval of a Special Permit for the overall building height as measured from the average top of curb level along Bernal Avenue to the highest roof ridge (31'-6" proposed where 30'-0" is allowed with a Special Permit). Planning staff would note that the finished floor of the existing house is 7'-81/2" above the average top of curb (see Proposed North Elevation on sheet A3.0). The area of the roof that extends above 30'-0" is at the center peak of the house (see shaded areas on the building elevations and roof plan). With regards to declining height envelope, the applicant is applying the exemption allowed by C.S. 25.26.075 (b) (3), which allows the left side of the second story addition to extend beyond the declining height envelope as long as the criteria are met (see C.S. 25.26.075 (b) (3)); the proposed project meets these criteria. With the addition, the number of potential bedrooms will increase from two to four (the office on the first floor does not qualify as a bedroom since the opening is 50% of the length of the office wall, as measured to the built-ins/fireplace). Two parking spaces, one of which must be covered, are required on site. The existing detached garage (11'-0" x 16'-8" clear interior dimensions) provides one covered parking space for the proposed four -bedroom house. Although the existing covered parking space is nonconforming, a parking variance is not required since the garage is detached and there are no improvements proposed to it. One uncovered space (9' x 20') is provided next to the garage where the carport was previously located. All other Zoning Code requirements have been met. The applicant is requesting the following applications: ■ Design Review for a second story addition to an existing single-family dwelling (C.S. 25.57.010 (a) (2)); and ■ Special Permit for building height (31'-6" proposed where 30'-0" is the maximum allowed) (C.S. 25.26.060 (a) (1)).

Staff Comments: See attached comments from the Building, Parks, Fire, Engineering and Stormwater Divisions. The applicant submitted a list of neighbors in support of the proposed project, as well as support letters from Ellen and Randall Stross (1473 Bernal Avenue) and Andrea and Lindsay Van Voorhis (1501 Cortez Avenue). Design Review Study Meeting: At the Planning Commission Design Review Study meeting on March 10, 2014, the Commission suggested that a gable end covering or trellis be added at the rear of the house over the French doors (see attached March 10, 2014 Planning Commission Minutes). The applicant submitted revised plans date stamped March 13, 2014, to address the Planning Commission's request. In response, a new wood trellis was added above the French doors at the rear of the house (see revised building elevations and trellis detail on sheet A3.0). The designer notes that a solid gable end covering was not added because the property owners would like to provide as much sunlight as possible into the family room. No other changes were made to the project. 2 Design Review and Special Permit 1477 Bernal Avenue 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: 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. 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. 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. Action should include specific findings supporting the Planning Commission's decision, and should be affirmed by resolution of the Planning Commission. The reasons for any action should be stated clearly for the record.

WEHMEYER, WEHMEYER DESIGN, APPLICANT AND DESIGNER; EVAN AND CAREN WEINSHEL, PROPERTY OWNERS) STAFF CONTACT: RUBEN HURIN All Commissioners had visited the project site. There were no ex-parte communications. Reference staff report dated March 10, 2014, with attachments. Planning Manager Gardiner briefly presented the project description. There were no questions of staff. Chair Sargent opened the public comment period. Robert Wehmeyer and Caren Weinshel represented the applicant: ■ Chose to do a remodel to retain the charm of the house. ■ Wanted to keep the scale and massing down. There are several houses in the neighborhood which are very large. ■ Kept the existing first floor footprint alone. It is a lot smaller than the houses around it. ■ The front porch was a big selling point, but it has a negative impact on the total square footage. Though this didn't matter to the homeowner — we kept the old look intact. ■ Is about 7'/2 feet above average curb height in the front. However height is under 30 feet on rear, interior, and Adeline sides. The house behind is over 30 feet where it looks down onto this property. ■ Had a meeting on March 4th and invited the neighbors to come over and review the plans. They loved it and appreciated that we're keeping the old house. ■ Will be retaining the original paint colors. ■ Have letters from two of the neighbors, plus a document with 10 or 12 signatures. Commission comments ■ Glad you're keeping the front porch. It would be a loss otherwise. ■ On the siding, is it being replaced? (Wehmeyer: We'll keep it on the front, but on the side, it will be easier for us to get new in and recycle the old. It won't look as clean and finished, otherwise. We'll match it up.) ■ Is the existing siding 6 inches? (Wehmeyer: Yes, just a bit under 6 inches.) ■ Going to remove the existing carport? (Wehmeyer: Yes, it was rotting. We'll keep the existing garage and the existing space where the carport was. It is the second parking spot. The trees will kind of soften that spot, and screen the fact that there is a car there.) ■ Is there any way to incorporate the addition into the existing roof line? It just feels like it is a 2-story layer cake on the front. (Wehmeyer: We looked at a lot of publications of older homes of this period and style. The top roof dictated what would happen with the lower roof. We wanted to pull it down, and the hip dictated how we would play with it. We wanted to keep the symmetry and the original windows. It did pose some issues — the roof lines were a big challenge on how to tie it all together. We didn't want to design the biggest thing that could fit on the lot. We tried to pull it down by pulling the hips in.) ■ 1 like the front elevation and the Adeline Drive elevation. The other one doesn't bother me so much since only your neighbor will see it and they are close to each other. On the rear elevation why not CITY OF BURLINGAME PLANNING COMMISSION — Unapproved Minutes March 10, 2014 add a gable to help integrate the two layers? (Wehmeyer: The hard part is how it lays out with the two windows in the master bedroom. It's all about the light. That's why we decided to put the family room, etc., on the back.) ■ Okay with the special permit for the height, since the 2nd floor ceiling heights are 8 feet. Not asking for taller plate heights. ■ In regards to the special permit, it would appear that even if you take the tallest elevation on the front, you're still no more than 27 feet. There is some support for the special permit in this regard. ■ Agree with the rear elevation, but the French doors look like they need some cover. There is a lot of exposure to this elevation. Maybe a trellis would be an option. ■ Confused on the Adeline Drive side: there's some existing windows into the dining room, and the plans say to use these, but the elevations show what looks like new windows. (Wehmeyer: There is an existing pair of windows into the dining room, and we are going to reuse that pair of windows. We're taking windows that used to be the outside wall, and we're going to reuse those in the new structure.) ■ Appreciate the efforts to keep the look of the old house as opposed to a cookie -cutter approach. ■ Great job with outreach to neighbors. The letters weren't form letters, which is much appreciated. Public comments: None. There were no other comments from the floor and the public hearing was closed. Commission discussion: Only concern is the rear elevation — either a trellis or gable end. Could add a porch in the back since they are below the FAR. Consensus that there is not a problem with the Special Permit. Commissioner Davis made a motion to place the item on the Regular Action Calendar when complete. This motion was seconded by Commissioner Sargent. Discussion of motion: None. Chair Sargent called for a vote on the motion to place this item on the Consent Calendar when plans have been revised as directed. The motion passed on a voice vote 5-0-0-1 (CommissionerBandrapalli absent). Appeal procedures were advised. The Planning Commission's action is advisory and not appealable.

We own the house at 1473 Bernal, the immediate neighbors of 1477, sharing the property line to our north and 1477's south. When we learned of the sale of the property to new owners, Caren and Evan Weinshel, we feared that the house would be razed and an enormous replacement structure would be shoehorned into the lot. We could not be more delighted to have learned subsequently that the Weinshels will not be razing the existing house but rather will retain its sweet historic character ---including a wonderful front porch ---and add a second story to the existing structure with its modest footprint. The Weinshels have shared with us the blueprints and we regard the design to be one that preserves the character of the existing house, and by doing so, will enhance the value of our own property and those of our other neighbors. With the plans in hand, we asked the Weinshels to accompany us as we walked room to room on our house's north side, peering through the windows on both the ground floor and the second floor. There will be no impact on ground -floor views: those are nonexistent as a high fence separates the two properties. As for the second floor, we were happy to see that the impact on those views by the new second story will be minimal --- fortuitously, our only second floor windows on the north side look out upon 1477's back yard, not on the house itself. So those views will not be affected by the addition of a second story on the neighboring house. The new owners' plans for 1477 Bernal will result in a welcome improvement to this corner of our neighborhood. We urge you to give the project expedited approval, as we are eager for the now -unoccupied, ghostly house to be revived and construction completed as quickly as possible. Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely, Ellen and Randall Stross 1473 Bernal Avenue Randall.Stross@gmail.com 1 h.Fa M/�R►€ CITY Oi= RURLIN(JAMia CD[) -Pi 4\NNIfJCi UI'J.

We have always loved this house with its gracious porch and beautiful landscape. We feel that this project has worked very hard to maintain the feel of that home by maintaining the porch and the original footprint of the house, and by paying meticulous attention to detail. The project is sensitive to its context. While it maintains the character of the original home, it also pays homage to another historic home I love: 1900 Adeline. run with my dog every morning up Adeline, and I look forward to experiencing the streetscape that will be created by the juxtaposition of the two homes. We are glad they have chosen to maintain the footprint of the existing house, which will allow the mature flowering trees that surround the house to continue to bloom. Burlingame strives to have historically oriented and unique designs for homes and this project is both. We think the project will positively impact the neighborhood. We look forward to its construction and seeing the beautiful (and much safer!) finished home. 4.." 42"1..

Hoarchy [wnmunhyRequirements for Architectural Copper Protect water quality during installation, cleaning, treating, and washing! 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. Use Best Management Practices (BMPs) The following Best Management Practices (BMPs) discharges to storm drains. gutter and drainpipe. must be implemented to prevent prohibited 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 furthercorrosion and runoff. This will also maintain the desired color for a longer time, requiring less maintenance. 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. Protect the Bay/Ocean and yourself! If you are responsible for a discharge to the storm drain of non- stormwater generated by installing, cleaning, treating or washing copper architectural features, you are in violation of the municipal stormwater ordinance and may be subject to a fine.
