Item No. 9d
Design Review Study
Meeting Date: March 23, 2015
Request: Application for Design Review and Front Setback Variance to demolish the existing house at 524
Oak Grove Avenue and replace it with an existing house to be moved from 1128 Douglas Avenue;
the project includes a first and second story addition to the house moved from Douglas Avenue and
construction of a new detached garage.
Applicant and Architect: Dreiling Terrones Architecture, Inc.
Property Owner: Zers Douglas LLC
General Plan: Low Density Residential
APN: 029-083-010
Lot Area: 8,788 SF
Zoning: R-1
Background: The proposed project includes demolishing the existing house at 524 Oak Grove Avenue and
replacing it with an existing house to be moved from 1128 Douglas Avenue. The proposal to move the house
from 1128 Douglas Avenue is part of a concurrent application to build a new apartment building at 1128-1132
Douglas Avenue. This application for 524 Oak Grove Avenue includes a first and second story addition to the
house moved from Douglas Avenue and construction of a new detached garage.
In 2008, the City of Burlingame engaged Carey & Co. to complete an inventory of historic resources for the
Downtown Specific Plan Area. The purpose of this inventory was to identify properties that would qualify as
historic resources for the City of Burlingame and appeared eligible for listing on the California Register of
Historical Resources (CRHR) or the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). Carey & Co. determined that
23 structures within the Plan Area appeared to be eligible for the CRHR or the NRHP. 1128 and 1132 Douglas
Avenue are included on this list.
Historic Resource Evaluations (Evaluation) were prepared for 1128 & 1132 Douglas Avenue by Page & Turnbull,
Inc., dated May 14, 2013. The results of the evaluation concluded that 1128 Douglas Avenue is eligible for
individual listing on the California Register of Historical Resources under Criterion 1(Events) for its association
with early settlement patterns in the town of Burlingame. The Evaluation notes that "Because the property was
one of the first residences constructed in Burlingame and exemplifies an important pattern of development in
Burlingame, the property at 1128 Douglas Avenue appears to be individually significant for its association with
early settlement, and is therefore eligible for listing in the California Register under Criterion 1(Events)."
1128 Douglas Avenue is also eligible for individual listing on the California Register of Historical Resources
under Criterion 2(Persons) due to its association with James R. and Jessie N. Murphy. The Evaluation notes
that "James R. Murphy was living in the Burlingame area by 1900 and serving as the town's station master. By
1910 he was county clerk, a position he retained through to his death in 1940. His contributions to Burlingame
government and civic life were varied and well documented. Jessie Murphy was also active in Burlingame
government and civic life, serving as park commissioner and acting as a lifelong advocate for trees, a subject
integral to Burlingame's civic identity as the "City of Trees." Both James and Jessie Murphy lived the majority of
their lives in their house in Burlingame and raised three children there. The Murphys' role in the development of
Burlingame as well as their long association with the property meet the threshold for significance for listing in the
listing in the California Register under Criterion 2(Persons). The Historic Resource Study for 1128 Douglas
Avenue is attached.
The results of the evaluation for 1132 Douglas Avenue concluded that it is not eligible for individual listing on the
California Register of Historical Resources under any criteria.
The purpose of this design review study meeting is to provide initial comments on design elements as they relate
to the project at 524 Oak Grove Avenue (compatibility of the architectural style with the neighborhood,
architectural style and mass, parking and garage patterns, interFace with structures on adjacent properties and
landscaping). A separate environmental scoping meeting will be held once an environmental consultant is
chosen.
Design Review and Front Setback Variance 524 Oak Grove Avenue
Project Description: The subject property is located at the corner of Oak Grove Avenue and Marin Drive. For
setback purposes, the shorter frontage along Marin Drive is considered to be the lot front. The proposed project
includes demolishing the existing two-story house, attached garage and detached shed on the site located at
524 Oak Grove Avenue. Rather than building a new house on the property, the applicant is proposing to move
the existing house currently located at 1128 Douglas Avenue onto this site as part of a concurrent application to
build a new 29-unit apartment building at 1128-1132 Douglas Avenue. This application includes a first and
second story addition to the house moved from Douglas Avenue and construction of a new detached garage at
524 Oak Grove Avenue. Planning staff would note that compliance with the R-1 District development regulations
is based on a new house being proposed on the lot.
The existing two story house currently located at 1128 Douglas Avenue contains 2,676 SF of floor area (includes
a 100 SF covered porch exemption). In conjunction with moving the house to 524 Oak Grove Avenue, the
applicant is proposing a remodel and addition to the existing house, which includes demolishing approximately
one-half of the rear of the house (669 SF of the first floor and 524 SF of the second floor) (see Demolition Floor
Plan on sheet A2.1 d). With the proposed first and second floor addition at the rear of the house and a new one-
car detached garage, the floor area will increase to 4,013 SF (0.45 FAR) where the zoning code allows a
maximum of 4,037 SF (0.46 FAR). The proposed project is 24 SF below the maximum allowed FAR.
Two parking spaces, one of which must be covered, are required on site for the proposed four bedroom house.
The applicant is proposing to build a new detached one-car garage (12'-10" x 23'-5" clear interior dimensions);
one uncovered parking space is provided in the driveway. The driveway and detached garage would be
accessed off Marin Drive. The existing curb cut and driveway apron along Oak Grove Avenue will be removed.
All other Zoning Code requirements have been met. The applicant is requesting the following applications:
■ Design Review to demolish the existing house at 524 Oak Grove Avenue and replace it with an existing
house to be moved from 1128 Douglas Avenue; the project includes a first and second story addition to
the house moved from Douglas Avenue and construction of a new detached garage (C.S. 25.57.010 (a)
(1)); and
■ Front Setback Variance to the second floor of the house (18'-0" proposed where 20'-0" is the minimum
required) (C.S. 25.26.072 (a) (b) (3)).
The subject property contains a total of ten existing trees, six of which are of protected size (measuring 20.9 to
52 inches in diameter). This application includes removing three of the protected size trees, including two Olive
trees (17.8 and 19.3-inch diameter), an 18.5-inch diameter Spanish Fir Tree and four non-protected size trees.
A Protected Tree Permit will be required from the Parks Division for removal of the protected size trees.
There are also several street trees in front of the subject property, including two Stone Pine trees along Marin
Drive (60.4 and 54.3 inches in diameter) and an Olive tree along Oak Grove Avenue (14 inches in diameter).
Both Stone Pine trees will remain; the Olive tree will be removed. In his memo dated June 19, 2014, the City
Arborist notes that the existing Olive tree has poor structure and may be removed as part of this project.
An arborist report, dated August 11, 2014, was prepared by Mayne Tree Expert Company, which evaluates
several trees on the site as well as the street trees located within the City's planter strip an provides tree
protection specifications (see attached). The City Arborist/Park Supervisor reviewed and accepted the report,
noting in his memo that "Tree Protection must be in place during all phases of construction" and that the
applicant must "follow independent arborist report for care and maintenance of all trees on site."

Since the block average calculation excludes corner lots and the highest and lowest front setbacks, there are
no parcels remaining on the block to serve as the basis for the block average. Therefore, the minimum
required front setbacks to the first and second floors are 15'-0' and 20'-0", respectively.

City of Burlingame Variance Application
Second floor setback Variance
524 Oak Grove Ave.
a. The historic portion of the house that is being relocated from 1128 Douglas Ave. has a second
floor that is stacked and aligned directly over the first floor. WE propose setting the relocated
structure to meet the 15t floor (15') front setback due to extraordinary site constraints (triangular
lot and protected-sized trees). We are therefore asking for relief from the 2"d floor (20') setback.
The proposed house addition along the front fa�ade is designed to harmonize with the historic
structure. The addition is generally a first floor roof plate, with a gable sloping away from the front
property line.
b. The existing historic portion of the house that is being relocated is proportionally small relative to
the overall property size (8,787 s.f.) In order to be marketable, the addition is proposed, but the
proposed total F.A.R. is still 112 s.f. below the allowable maximum. Due to the unique property
shape and protected trees, the variance is necessary to accommodate the proposed addition that
other properties might enjoy with out special consideration.
c. The proposed residence with the addition is consistent with the existing residential fabric of the
neighborhood. The house, with its addition, will be surrounded by streets on three sides, and the
proposed driveway on the fourth side. Therefore, there will be no detrimental impact on any
specific neighbors or the neighborhood in general.
d. The proposed addition is consistent with the aesthetics, mass, bulk and character of the existing
structure being relocated, and consistent with the eclectic residential neighborhood in general.

Dear Mr. Wayne Lin,
RE: 524 OAK GROVEAVENUE, BURLINGAME
At your request, I visited the above site on Thursday, July 31, 2014. The purpose of my
visit was to identify, inspect, and comment on the trees located on the site. Included in
this report is a plan review and tree protection plan for the proposed construction project.
Limitations of this report
This report is based on a visual-only inspection that took place at ground level. I accept
no responsibility for any unknown or any unseen defects associated with the trees on
this site.
Method
Each tree on this report is given an identification number, which is scribed on to a metal
foil tag and placed at eye level on the trunk of the tree. This number is also placed on
the provided site map to show the approximate location of the trees on the property. The
diameter for each tree was found by measuring the trunk of the tree at fifty-four inches
off of the natural grade as described in the Burlingame Heritage Tree Ordinance. The
height and canopy spread has been estimated for each tree to show their approximate
dimensions. Each tree was given a condition rating; this rating is based on form and
vitality and can be further defined by the following table:
0 — 29 Very Poor
30 — 49 Poor
50 — 69 Fair
70 — 89 Good
90 — 100 Excellent
Lastly, a comments section has been provided to give more individual detail about the
trees.

trunk; codominant at 8 feet; heavy
lateral limbs; roots lifting the curb, the
gutter, and the street; several crossing
limbs (some grafted together) in the
upper canopy; excess end weight on the
lateral limbs growing over the street.
Tree #1 is an Olive tree located within the planter strip along Oak Grove Avenue. Ivy,
soil, and other organic material cover the root crown of this tree. Roots from this tree are
lifting the curb and the street slightly. The upper canopy is routinely topped at 12 feet by
PG&E to minimize growth into the high-voltage wires. Approximately 20 feet away from
the base of the tree in the same planter strip, I found an active yellow jacket nest.
Tree #2 is a Coast Live Oak located near the driveway behind a fence. Leaf litter, soil,
and other organic material cover the root crown of this tree. There is a codominant
attachment at 1 foot off of the natural grade with included bark between the two stems.
The upper canopy leans south due to a competition for light with the adjacent Coast Live
Oak canopy. A large square pipe is embedded in the lower trunk.
Tree #3 is a large Coast Live Oak located in the rear of the home. I found several Pine
roots girdling the lower buttress roots at the base of this Oak and a small amount of ivy
growing up the lower trunk. There is a codominant attachment at 6 feet and an
abundance of large interior deadwood. Most of the upper canopy leans to the south with
excess end weight on many of the lateral limbs. Many of these lateral limbs are touching
the roof of the existing home.
Tree #4 is a large Monterey Pine located on the right side of the home, along the
property line fence. A significant amount of ivy, pine needles, and other organic material
cover the root crown of this tree. There are several stubbed off limbs in the lower
canopy where the previous failures have occurred. Many of the lateral limbs have
excess end weight and are in need of end weight reduction. High-voltage lines are
going through the middle canopy of this tree and there are several large dead limbs in
the interior of this canopy.
Tree #5 is an Olive tree located along the rear of the property. This tree has a
codominant attachment at 2 feet with included bark between the two stems. Tree #3 has
suppressed the growth of this tree creating a competition for light and undesirable form
of the upper canopy.
524 Oak Grove Ave., Burlingame 4 August 11, 2014
Tree #6 is a Spanish Fir located on the left side of the home near the left corner property
line. Ivy and other organic material cover the root crown of this tree. There is an
abundance of interior deadwood in the upper canopy, which leans northeast slightly.
Tree #7 is an Olive tree located on the left side of the property. This tree has a
codominant attachment at 1 foot. The upper canopy is growing to the southeast toward
the existing home. This tree has poor form and vigor and an abundance of interior
deadwood.
Tree #8 is an Italian Stone Pine located within the planter strip along Marin Drive. Ivy,
soil, and other organic material cover the root crown of this tree. I noticed several targe
upwelling areas of the street near the base of the tree that appear to be from the tree's
surface roots. There is a codominant attachment at 5 feet with included bark between
the two stems. A small Holly sapling appears to be growing out of the included bark area
of the codominant attachment. There is an abundance of lateral limbs with excess end
weight growing over the street and several codominant attachments in the upper canopy.
I identified one large dead limb located over the street.
Tree #9 is an Italian Stone Pine located on the corner of Oak Grove Avenue and Marin
Drive. Ivy, soil, and other organic material cover the root crown of this tree. I identified a
codominant attachment at 8 feet and excess end weight on the lateral limbs. The roots
of this tree appear to be lifting the curb, gutter, and portions of the street. There are
several crossing branches grafted together in the upper canopy.
All of the trees on site appear to be in need of routine maintenance that should include
significant end weight reduction, large deadwood removal, and reshaping of the
canopies. Special attention should be focused on the canopies of trees #3, #4, #7, and
#9. Tree #3 needs significant end weight reduction over the home to reduce the chance
of future failures occurring. Trees #4, #8, and #9 all overhang the street. The lateral
limbs of these trees have poor branch taper and an abundance of excess end weight.
Due to vehicle and pedestrian traffic, there is a higher potential for significant injury or
damage to occurring in the event of a failure.
I recommend the removal of trees #1, #5, and #7 as they all have poor form and vigor.
All tree work performed as a result of this report should be completed by a qualified
licensed tree care professional.
Plan Review
On August 4, 2014, I reviewed the proposed construction plans for the above site. The
plans call for the removal of the existing home and the new construction and partial
reconstruction of a historical building from a different site. Pruning and the removal of
several trees will be needed to accommodate the new home and driveway. Trees #2,
#3, #8, and #9 will need end weight reduction and select limb removal to allow the

TREE PROTECTION SPECIFICATIONS
August11,2014
1. A protective barrier of 6-foot chain link fencing shall be installed around the
dripline of protected tree(s). The fencing can be moved within the dripline if
authorized by the Project Arborist or the City Arborist, but not closer than 2 feet
from the trunk of any tree. Fence posts shall be 1.5 inches in diameter and are
to be driven 2 feet into the ground. The distance between posts shall not be
more than 10 feet. This enclosed area is the Tree Protection Zone (TPZ). I have
drawn in on the provided site ptan the approximate location of the tree protection
fencing.
2. Movable barriers of chain link fencing secured to cement blocks can be
substituted for "fixed" fencing if the Project Arborist and City Arborist agree that
the fencing will have to be moved to accommodate certain phases of
construction. The builder may not move the fence without authorization from the
Project Arborist or City Arborist.
3. Avoid the following conditions.
DO NOT:
a. Allow runoff or spillage of damaging materials into the area below any
tree canopy.
b. Store materials, stockpile soil, or park or drive vehicles within the TPZ.
c. Cut, break, skin, or bruise roots, branches, or trunks without first obtaining
authorization from the City Arborist.
d. Allow fires under and adjacent to trees.
e. Discharge exhaust into foliage.
f. Secure cable, chain, or rope to trees or shrubs.
g. Trench, dig, or otherwise excavate within the dripline or TPZ of the tree(s)
without first obtaining authorization from the City Arborist.
h. Apply soil sterilants under pavement near existing trees.
4. Only excavation by hand or compressed air shall be allowed within the driplines
of trees. Machine trenching shal� not be allowed.
5. Avoid injury to tree roots. When a ditching machine, which is being used outside
of the dripline of trees, encounters roots smaller than 2 inches, the wall of the
trench adjacent to the trees shall be hand trimmed, making clear, clean cuts
through the roots. All damaged, torn, and cut roots shall be given a clean cut to
remove ragged edges, which promote decay. Trenches shall be filled within 24
hours, but, where this is not possible, the side of the trench adjacent to the trees
shall be kept shaded with four layers of dampened, untreated burlap, wetted as
frequently as necessary to keep the burlap wet. Roots 2 inches or larger, when
encountered, shall be reported immediately to the Project Arborist, who will
decide whether the Contractor may cut the root as mentioned above or shall
excavate by hand or with compressed air under the root. The root is to be
protected with dampened burlap.
524 Oak Grove Ave., Burlingame 6 August 11, 2014
6. Route pipes outside of the area that is 10 times the diameter of a protected tree
to avoid conflict with roots.
7. Where it is not possible to reroute pipes or trenches, the contractor shall bore
beneath the dripline of the tree. The boring shall take place not less than 3 feet
below the surface of the soil in order to avoid encountering "feeder" roots.
8. Any damage due to construction activities shall be reported to the Project
Arborist or City Arborist within six hours so that remedial action can be taken.
9. Violation of any of the above provisions may result in sanctions or other
disciplinary action.
I believe this
practices. If
Sincerely,
t is accurate and based on sound arboricultural principles and
be of further assistance, please contact me at my office.

Requirements 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.
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.
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.
Contact Information
The San Mateo Countywide Water Pollution Prevention Program lists municipal stormwater contacts at
www.flowstobay.orq (click on "Business", then "New Development", then "local permitting agency").
FINAL February 29, 2012
Storm drain inlet is blocked to prevent
prohibited discharge. The water must be
pumped and disposed of properly.

'P3a. Description: (Describe resource and its major eiements. Include design, materials, condition, alterations, size, setting, and boundaries.)
1128 Douglas Avenue is a two-story over raised basement, single-family residence. It is designed in a vernacular style with
Shingle-style influence, and is clad in wood shingle and capped with a side gable roof. The 2,382 sq. ft. building occupies an
8,100 sq. ft. lot on the north side of Douglas Avenue between California Drive and Primrose Road. The house was constructed in
1903. It was originally located at 1208 Burlingame Avenue, but was moved to its current location in 1914. The house is sited
approximately 20 feet back from the front lot line, and slightly west of lot center to accommodate a driveway at the east perimeter
of the lot. A four-unit apartment complex is located at the rear of the lot and abuts the rear of the main house.
The primary fa�ade faces south on Douglas Avenue and is arranged in a largely symmetrical three-bay pattern. The exposed
basement is clad in vertical T-111 siding at left, and the remainder of the fa�ade is clad in wood shingle. At center, a short
concrete stair framed by low brick walls leads to an entry porch which spans the center and left bays. The primary entrance, a
multi-lite glazed wood door, is located at left and is sheltered within the entry porch. The porch is supported by square posts clad
in wood shingle, and is enclosed at its west edge by a multi-lite wood sash window. Additional fenestration within the entry porch
includes a fixed six-lite wood sash window at center and a multi-lite glazed wood door surrounded by multi-lite casement
sidelights and transom at right. The right bay consists of a 40-lite wood sash window (historic photographs reveal that this area
was originally an open part of the porch). At the second story, a large central hipped dormer includes four double-hung wood
sash windows with ogee lugs. The primary far�ade terminates with boxed eave overhangs at the roof and at the dormer.

contemporary aluminum vent. First story fenestration at this fa�ade includes a multi-lite wood sash window at left, a shallow angled
bay with double-hung wood sash windows at center, and three six-over-one double-hung wood sash windows at the rear. A one
story shed roof addition with a fixed multi-lite window is located at the rear of the house. Fenestration at the second story includes
five double hung windows (four wood, one vinyl). Ornamentation at the second story includes a raised molding which traces the
line of the gable from the front fa�ade.
The north (rear) fa�ade (Figure 4) partially abuts the apartment building at the rear of the lot. The first story of the north fa�ade
includes a pedestrian entrance at the right, sheltered by a shed roof, and a one-story projecting section at left with a shed roof, and
double-hung wood sash windows with ogee lugs. Two windows of the same configuration are located at the second story. The
fa�ade terminates with a moderate eave overhang with exposed rafters.
The four unit apartment complex located at the rear of the lot (Figure 5) was constructed in 1952. It is two stories tall, L-shaped in
plan, clad in horizontal wood siding and capped with a shallow-pitched cross gable roof. The windows are wood sash.
There are two large trees in the front yard of the property, one redwood and one oak, which may be associated with Jesse N.
Murphy, wife the original owner.
The house appears to be in good condition.

Historic Context:
Citv of Burlinqame
The first known inhabitants of the San Francisco peninsula were a linguistically and culturally diverse array of indigenous tribes
known collectively as the Ohlone. The Ohlone lived in close relation with the tideland resources of the San Francisco Bay, in
communities that the Spanish later termed rancherias -- small villages of unrelated family groups that collaborated in hunting,
fishing, harvesting, and religious practices. Spanish settlement of the California coast began after 1770, and increased European
presence on the San Francisco peninsula after the turn of the nineteenth century eventually led to a terminal decline in the area's
once dense indigenous population. (See Continuation Sheet)

During the era of Spanish control of the San Francisco peninsula, today's Burlingame was utilized as farmland, worked primarily by
Ohlone people under the purview of Mission San Francisco de Asis. After Mexican independence from Spain in 1821, the process
of secularization of formerly Church-controlled land saw large grants of land made available for purchase to private Mexican
citizens.
The City of Burlingame was initially part of Rancho San Mateo, a Mexican-era land grant given by Governor Pio Pico to Cayetano
Arena in 1845. Over the next four decades, the lands passed through the hands of several prominent San Francisco businessmen,
including William Howard (1848) and William C. Ralston (1856). In 1866, Ralston sold over 1,000 acres to Anson Burlingame, the
US Minister to China. Following Burlingame's death in 1870, however, the land reverted to Ralston, and eventually to Ralston's
business partner, William Sharon. Very little formal development occurred during this period, with most of the land used for dairy
and stock farm operations.
In 1893, William Sharon's trustee, Francis G. Newlands, proposed the development of the Burlingame Country Club as an
exclusive semi-rustic destination for wealthy San Franciscans. A railroad depot was constructed in 1894, concurrent with small-
scale subdivisions in the vicinity of Burlingame Avenue. During this time, EI Camino Real acted as a de facto dividing line between
large country estates to the west and the small village of Burlingame to the east. The latter developed almost exclusively to serve
the needs of the wealthy estate owners.
Burlingame began to develop in earnest with the arrival of an electric streetcar line between San Mateo and San Francisco in 1903.
However, the 1906 Earthquake had a far more dramatic impact on the area. Hundreds of San Franciscans who had lost their
homes began relocating to Burlingame, which flourished after the disaster with the construction of new residences and businesses.
Over the next two years, the village's population grew from 200 to 1,000. In 1908, Burlingame incorporated as a city, and in 1910
annexed the adjacent town of Easton to the north. The following year, the Burlingame Country Club area was also annexed to the
City. By 1920, Burlingame's population had increased to 4,107.
Burlinqame Land Comnanv
The Burlingame Land Company was located north of Burlingame Avenue on land now bounded by Bellevue Avenue at the south,
Oak Grove Avenue at the north, EI Camino Real at the west, and California Drive at the east. The land was originally part of 440
acres owned by William Corbitt, a wealthy Scottish coffee merchant who acquired his land in the early 1870s and was one of the
area's first full-time residents.' After Corbitt's death in 1898, the land was purchased by F. M. Moody and James Newlands Jr.
(nephew of Burlingame landowner Francis Newlands). The land was subdivided in 1905 by civil engineer Davenport Bromfield and
marketed by the real estate firm of Lyon and Hoag (Figures 7& 8). Promotional materials describe the availability of 184 lots with
water connections already established for every lot. Building covenants enforced a 25' setback for all properties to ensure a
uniformly bucolic feeling.
Settlement of the Burlingame Land Co. subdivision was strongly afFected by its location. Although Southern Pacific had established
railroad service to Burlingame as early as 1894, transportation between Burlingame and San Francisco improved in frequency and
reliability in 1903, when the United Railway Company began to operate electric streetcar service between San Francisco and San
Mateo down California Avenue, the eastern perimeter of the Burlingame Land Co. area. Proximity to this convenient service made
lots in the new subdivision attractive to buyers. Additionally, the subdivision was located directly north of Burlingame Avenue, one
of the earliest settled streets in the town and the site of many town founders' homes. By 1910, however, Burlingame Avenue had
become increasingly commercial, and the owners of these homes sought new locations for their homes. The Burlingame Land
Co.'s physical proximity to Burlingame Avenue made it a logical choice for these moved homes. Three homes associated with the
town's earliest residents, city clerk James Murphy, Dr. A. L. Offield, and train stationmaster George Gates, were moved in the
1910s from their original location on Burlingame Avenue to lots within the Burlingame Land Co. subdivision. These houses were
moved to 1128 Douglas Avenue, 1124 Douglas Avenue (1904), and 1214 Donnelly Street (1903), respective� and are all extant at
the time of this report, though all three buildings and their immediate settings have been altered to an extent.
1128 Douqlas Avenue
The residence at 1128 Douglas Avenue was constructed in 1903 for Mr. and Mrs. James R. Murphy (Figure 9). The house was
originally located at 1206 Burlingame Avenue and stood there for ten years before the increasingly commercial nature of the street
compelled the Murphys to move their home to its current location in 1914 (Figures 10 & 11). The Murphy family was one of the

earliest to settle in Burlingame; according to family history, the Murphy house was the seventh constructed in the unincorporated
town. 3
James Russell Murphy was born in Redwood City in 1871, the son of Jeremiah and Catherine Murphy. His father was a native of
Ireland who came to California in 1862 and worked as a foreman on the San Francisco-San Jose rail line. James R. Murphy
attended Redwood City High School and worked afterward as a telegraph operator for Southern Pacific. In 1895, Murphy married
Jessie E. Nichols. daughter of Benjamin Nichols, a lumber baron and early settler of Santa Cruz, California. By 1900, the Murphys
were living in the unincorporated area of San Mateo County that would become Burlingame. Murphy worked as a station agent in
Millbrae and Burlingame. By 1910, the Murphys were living in their newly-constructed home on Burlingame Avenue, and James
Murphy was employed as the Burlingame City Clerk, in addition to his continued duties as Burlingame station master and as the
agent of an express company he had founded, Murphy's Transfer. There were three Murphy children by 1910, including Justina
(12), Russell (8) and Robert (5).
Murphy retained the post of City Clerk for the next 30 years, until his death in 1940. According to his obituary, during those 30
years, he also served in a temporary capacity at every city job with the single exception of city attorney, including as an interim
mayor.' Murphy was active in club life, including establishment of the local Elks chapter, as well as civic promotion, including
participation in the League of California Cities. Jessie Murphy was civically active as well, and served as one of the area's first park
commissioners. Her lifelong commitment to the planting of trees, specifically redwood trees, was said to be an attempt to right
some of the damage her lumber baron father had wrought on the area's landscape (Figure 12).5 The redwood tree in front of the
house at 1128 Douglas Avenue is very likely associated with Jessie Murphy's tree advocacy. For several years in the early 1920s,
former Burlingame mayor Gustav MacGregor lived at 1128 Douglas Street with the Murphys. During his tenure as mayor (1912-
1913), Macgregor had been active in the drafting and implementation of tree ordinances in Burlingame, which likely spurred his
friendship with Jessie Murphy. The tree ordinances implemented by MacGregor continue to contribute to Burlingame's enduring
legacy as a city of trees.
At the time of his death in July 1940, James Murphy was regarded as a beloved San Mateo County official, and his casket was
carried by Burlingame mayor Edward McDonald and various members of city and county council. Jessie Murphy continued to
reside at the house on Douglas Avenue after her husband's death, and oversaw the construction of the apartment buildings at the
rear of the family lot in 1951 (Figures 13 8� 14). After her death ca. 1960, ownership of the property passed to the Murphy children,
Justina and Robert. The home was occupied by Justina Murphy in 1970. In 1985, Robert Murphy sold the property to Elizabeth
Stevenson. Stevenson and her husband Larry owned the property through the 1990s. In 2005 the property was owned by Denham
LLC. The date of transfer to current ownership occurred on March 28, 2013.
Evaluation (Siqnificancel:
1128 Douglas Avenue is not currently listed in the National Register of Historic Places (National Register) or the California Register
of Historical Resources (California Register). The building does not appear in the California Historical Resources Information
System (CHRIS), indicating that no record of previous survey or evaluation is on file with the California Office of Historic
Preservation (OHP). The City of Burlingame does not currently have a register of historic properties, and therefore the property is
not listed locally.
In February 2008, the City of Burlingame engaged Carey & Co. Inc. to complete an inventory of historic resources for the
Downtown Specific Plan Area. The purpose of this inventory was to identify properties that appeared eligible for listing on the
California Register of Historical Resources and/or the National Register of Historic Places. The inventory included 1128 Douglas
Avenue as one of 23 structures that Carey 8 Co. found would qualify as historic resources for the City of Burlingame and appeared
eligible for the California and the National Registers. No register nomination action was taken in response to these 2008 findings.
This evaluation finds that 1128 Douglas Avenue does not appear to meet the threshold for national significance within the local,
state, or national context such that it would be eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places under any criterion.
Criterion 1 (Events)
1128 Douglas Avenue appears to be individually eligible for listing in the California Register under Criterion 1(Events) for its
association with early settlement patterns in the town of Burlingame. The period of significance for this context is 1885-1915.
Constructed in 1903, the house is one of the very oldest extant residential structures in Burlingame, the seventh constructed in the
town according to owner family recollection. It was originally located at 1206 Burlingame Avenue, which was where many of the
town's earliest middle-class and upper-class families built their homes. The subdivision of the Burlingame Land Co.'s property in
1905, directly to the north of Burlingame Avenue, as well as the increasingly commercial nature of Burlingame Avenue after 1910,

combined to motivate the Murphy family and other homeowners on Burlingame Avenue to relocate their homes. Relocation does
not negatively affect this property's eligibility for register inclusion because it was undertaken nearly 100 years ago and undertaken
as part of a local development trend for property owners around the same time. Thus, the move itself was associated with a
significant aspect of physical development for the city. Additional extant residential structures that were moved from Burlingame
Avenue to the Burlingame Land Co. subdivision are rare and include the Dr. A. L. Offield, house (1124 Douglas Avenue) and the
George Gates house (1214 Donnell Street) Because the property was one of the first residences constructed in Burlingame and
exemplifies an important pattern of development in Burlingame, the property at 1128 Douglas Avenue appears be individually
significant for its association with early settlement, and is therefore eligible for listing in the California Register under Criterion 1
(Events).
Criterion 2 (Persons)
1128 Douglas Avenue also appears to be individually eligible for listing in the California Register under Criterion 2(Persons) due to
its association with James R. and Jessie N. Murphy. The period of significance for this association is 1903-1940, the period in
which both Murphys were alive, contributing actively to the city, and living in the house. James R. Murphy was living in the
Burlingame area by 1900 and serving as the town's station master. By 1910 he was counry clerk, a position he retained through to
his death in 1940. His contributions to Burlingame government and civic life were varied and well documented, and he died a
beloved town son in 1940. Jessie Murphy was also active in Burlingame government and civic life, serving as park commissioner
and acting as a lifelong advocate for trees, a subject integral to Burlingame's civic identity as the "City of Trees." Both James and
Jessie Murphy lived the majority of their lives in their house in Burlingame and raised three children there. The Murphys' role in the
development of Burlingame as well as their long association with the property meet the threshold for significance for listing in the
listing in the California Register under Criterion 2(Persons).
Criterion 3 (Architecturel
1128 Douglas Avenue does not appear to be individually eligible for listing in the California Register under Criterion 3(Architecture)
because the building does not embody the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction. The building is
vernacular in style and displays little in the way of distinctive features or detailing. The architect and builder are unknown and thus
cannot be considered masters in this evaluation. Therefore, the property is not individually significant for its architectural merit and
does not appear eligible for register inclusion under Criterion C/3.
Criterion 4 (Information Potential)
This property was not assessed for its potential to yield information important in prehistory or history, per National Register and
California Register Criterion D/4 (Information Potential). This Criterion is typically reserved for archeological resources. The
analysis of the house at 1128 Douglas Avenue for eligibility under California Register Criterion 4(Information Potential) is beyond
the scope of this report.
Evaluation (Intes�ritv):
1128 Douglas Avenue was constructed in 1903 at 1206 Burlingame Avenue and was moved to its current location in 1914. The
building retains integrity of location because its tenure at its original location was 11 years, and its tenure at its current location has
been 99 years. Integrity of setting is fair because the surrounding residential neighborhood has shifted from an area characterized
by single family homes to one that is increasingly characterized by larger multi-unit apartment buildings and condominiums.
However, a few other homes from this era of early settlement are extant in the area, including 1124 Douglas Avenue (the Dr. A. L.
Offield house), 1214 Donnelly Avenue (the George W. Gates house), and 1132 Douglas Avenue (the Everett J. Savill house),
which bolsters integrity of setting.
With regard to integrity of design, materials, and workmanship, integrity in relation to the Early Settlement period of significance
(1895-1915) has been somewhat compromised due to alterations to the primary fa�ade, including the enclosure of part of the front
porch and the reconfiguration of openings at the primary facade. However, careful examination of historic photographs indicates
that between 1905 and 1916, the western facade of the front porch was enclosed by multi-lite windows, and a multi-lite window or
multi-lite doors was located at the eastern portion of the porch (Figure 9 8 11). Although the date of the enclosure of the eastern
portion of the porch is unknown, photographs taken ca. 1920 of the Murphys on their front porch show the north fa�ade of the front
porch enclosed, and the multi-lite doors at the northern portion of the porch in place (Figure 12). Visual inspection of the porch
enclosure, which includes a multi-lite wood sash door, sidelights, and transom windows, places the enclosure prior to 1940. The
date of fenestration changes at the remainder of the porch are unknown, but the door at the south and the central window are both
wood multi-lite, and appear to match in configuration the doors at the northern part of the porch. Therefore, integrity of design,
materials and workmanship in relation to the association with the Murphy Family period of significance (1903-1940) remains high
because the majority of porch and fenestration changes appear to have taken place during this period. Larger alterations to the
rear are not easily visible from the street and do not compromise overall integrity of design, materials, and workmanship.
1138 Douglas Avenue retains integriry of feeling and association because the house retains its original use as a residence. The
redwood tree at the front of the property, very likely planted by Jessie Murphy, confirms the property's association with the Murphy
family.

Overall, integrity is sufficient to convey the property's significance in association with early Burlingame development and James
and Jessie Murphy.
Conclusion
1128 Douglas Avenue appears to be individually eligible for listing in the California Register under Criteria 1 and 2. The California
Historical Resource Status Code (CHRSC) of "3CS" has been assigned to the property, meaning that it was "found eligible for
California Register as an individual property through survey evaluation."
This conclusion does not address whether the building would qualify as a contributor to a potential historic district. A cursory
inspection of the surrounding area reveals a moderate concentration of early twentieth-century residences that warrant further
study. Additional research and evaluation of the Burlingame Land Co. subdivision as a whole would need to be done to verify the
neighborhood's eligibility as a historic district.
