Item No. 9b
Design Review Study
Meeting Date: May 22, 2017
Request: Application for Environmental Scoping and Design Review for a new two-story single family dwelling
and detached garage.
Applicant and Designer: James Chu, Chu Design Associates
Property Owner: Lara E. Heisler Koob Trust and Mission Bay Trust
General Plan: Low Density Residential
APN: 028-295-110
Lot Area: 6,294 SF
Zoning: R-1
Background: The subject property is located within the Burlingame Heights 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 April 15, 2016.
The results of the evaluation concluded that it is not eligible for individual listing on the California Register of
Historical Resources under any criteria. Planning Staffwill prepare an Initial Study and Negative Declaration to
support the findings of the Historic Resource Evaluation priorto the Planning Commission Action Hearing forthis
project.
Project Description: The existing single story house and detached garage with a recreation room will be
demolished. The applicant is proposing a new, two-story single family dwelling with a detached garage. The
floor area will be 3,330 SF (0.53 FAR) where the zoning code allows a maximum of 3,335 SF (0.53 FAR). The
proposed project is 5 feet under the maximum allowed FAR, including front porch exemptions.
With this project, there will be four potential bedrooms. Two parking spaces, one of which must be covered, are
required on site. There is one covered parking space (10' x 20' clear interior dimensions) in the proposed
detached garage and one uncovered parking space in the driveway leading to the garage. Therefore, the project
complies with off-street parking requirements.
An Arborist Report for the property was competed in November 2016. This report noted a Protected-Size Box
Elder on site that was assessed as having fair to poor vigor and a dead central leader. This tree fell over in a
storm in February 2017. The applicant applied for and was granted a retroactive Tree Removal Permit for this
tree in March 2017. There are two existing landscape trees on site that will remain with the construction and the
applicant proposes to add 4 additional (24-inch box size Japanese maple) landscape trees in the rear yard.
There are 3 required landscape trees for the project where there will be 6 landscape trees (existing and new) on
site. All other Zoning Code requirements have been met.
The applicant is requesting the following applications:
■ Environmental Scoping for Negative Declaration, a determination that there are no significant
environmental effects as a result of this project; and
■ Design Review for a new two-story single family dwelling with a detached garage (C.S. 25.57.010 (a) (1)).

Dear Lara Heisler,
As requested on Thursday, November 17, 2016, I visited the above site for the purpose of
inspecting and commenting on the trees. A new home is planned for this site and your concern
as to the future health and safety of the trees on site has prompted this visit.
Method:
All inspections were made from the ground; the trees were not climbed for this inspection. The
trees in question were located on a map provided by you. The trees were then measured for
diameter at 54 inches above ground level (DBH or diameter at breast height). The trees were
given a condition rating for form and vitality. The trees condition rating is based on 50 percent
vitality and 50 percent forni, using the following scale.
1 - 29 Very Poor
30 - 49 Poor
�0 - 69 Fair
70 - 89 Good
90 - 100 Excellent
The height of the trees was measured using a Nikon Forestry 550 Hypsometer. The spread was
paced off. Comments and recommendations for future maintenance are provided.

Summary:
'I'he trees on site are a mix of imported trees. Trees #1 and #2 are recently planted street trecs.
These trees are in good condition. All street trees are to be protected during construction
regardless oi�size.
Birch tree #3 has been radically topped in the past. As a result this tree will need the sanle type
of maintenance often. Topping trees is never recommended as it creates a tree with poor form
that is more prone to failure. Birch tree #3 is not protected and does not need a permit to be
remo��ed.
1566 Cypress Ave /3/9/17 (3)
Camphor tree #4 is in fair condition. This tree is a protected tree because of its size. This tree is
located on the property line on the south side of the property only 1.5 feet from the existing
home. The neighbor has cut roots on his side of the tree in order to facilitate construction of a
new driveway. 'I'he tree has experienced a g�od amount of dieback on the neighbors side of the
tree. This is likely due to the past root cutting on that side of the tree. The proposed new home
will be pushed back farther away from the tree. This will benefit the tree as the tree will have
more area to spread its roots. When demolishing the existing home great care should be taken in
order to not damage the tree. Tree protection fencing must be placed as close as possible to the
existing home and out to the dripline of the tree where possible. Once the home has been
demolished tree protection should be moved farther from the tree and be placed as close to the
proposed home as possible. Impacts to this tree from the proposed construction are expected to
be none�istent as the area �vhere roots can thrive is to be greater than its current state.
Box elder tree #5 is in decline. This tree has been topped in the past. The past topping has
opened the tree up to sun scald. All exposed limbs have large scared sections on the south east
side of the limbs. Sunscald has caused a loss in conducting tissue affectin� the entire tree. It is
recommended to remove this tree as no mitigation measures would be expected to improve the
health of this tree. On February 26th, 2017 I was notified that this tree 11ad failed during the
�r�inter storms.
The remaining trees are not of a protected size. Myoporum tree 7 is recommended to be
removed as this species suffers from thrip attack and grows in a distorted fashion. The following
tree protection plan will help to insure the filture health of the retained trees.
Tree Protection Plan:
Tree Protection Zones
Tree protection zones should be installed and maintained throughout the entire lenbth of the
project. Fencing for tree protection zones should be 6' tall, metal chain link material supported
by metal 2" diameter poles, pounded into the ground to a depth of no less than 2'. The location
for the protective fencing should be as close to the dripline of desired trees as possible, still
allowing room for construction to safely continue. No equipment or materials shall be stored or
cleaned inside the protection zones. Areas outside protection zones, but still beneath the tree's
driplines, where foot traftic is expected to be heavy, should be mulched �L�ith 4-6" of chipper
chips. The spreading of chips will help to reduce compaction and improve soil structure.

Showing recommended tree protection zones
Root Cutting and Grading
Any roots to be cut shall be monitored and documented. Large roots (over 2" diameter) or large
masses of roots to be cut must be inspected by the site arborist. The site arborist, at this time,
may recommend irrigation or fertilization of the root zone. All roots needinb to be cut should be
cut clean with a saw or lopper. Roots to be left exposed for a period of time should be covered
with layers of burlap and kept moist.
Trenching and Excavation
Trenching for irrigation, drainage, electrical or any other reason shall be done by hand when
inside the dripline of a protected tree. � Iand digging and the carefi�l placement of pipes below or
besides protected roots will significantly reduce root loss, thus reducing trauma to the tree. All
trenches shall be backfilled with native materials and compacted to near its original level, as
soon as possible. Trenches to be left open for a period of time, will require the coverinb of all
exposed roots with burlap and be kept moist. Z'he trenches will also need to be covered with
plywood to help protect the exposed roots.
1�66 Cypress Ave /3/9/17 (5)
IrYigcriion
Normal irrigation shall be maintained on this site at all times. The imported tre�s will require
normal irrigation. On a construction site, I recommend irrigation during winter months, 1 time
per month. Seasonal rainfall may reduce the need for additional irrigation. During the warm
season, April — November, my recommendation is to use heavy irrigation, 2 times per month.
This type of irrigation should be started prior to any eYcavation. The irrigation will improve the
vigor and �vater content of the trees. The on-site arborist may make adjustments to the irrigation
recommendations as needed. The foliage of the trees may need cleaning if dust levels are
extreme. Removing dust from the foliage will help to reduce mite and insect infestation. No
irrigation is required for the oak tree on site unless its root zone is traumatized.
The information included in this report is believed to be true and based on sound arboricultural
principles and practices.
Sincerely,
Kevin R. Kielty David P. Beckham
