Address: 1452 Drake Avenue Meeting Date: January 26, 2009
Request: Design Review and Special Permits for declining height envelope and attached garage for
a new, two story single family dwelling.
Applicant and Architect: TRG Architects
Property Owner: Ginkgo Burlingame LLC
General Plan: Low Density Residential
APN: 026-042-140
Lot Area: 6000 SF
Zoning: R-1
History: On May 29, 2007, the Planning Commission approved an application for Design Review,
Special Permit for declining height envelope and Conditional Use Permit for garage height for a new,
two-story single family dwelling and detached garage at this site. A building permit was issued on
O�t�ber 19, 2�0? a!�d the sxisting h���e w�s dPmo�ished shortly thereafter. During that time, the
property was sold. The current property owner does not wish to build the previously approved project
(see attached previously approved site plan and building elevations) and is now proposing a new
design.
The redesigned project was reviewed by the Planning Commission on November 10 (study meeting)
and November 24, 2008 (action meeting). At its meeting of November 24, 2008, the Planning
Commission approved the property owner's request for Design Review and Special Permits for
declining height envelope and attached garage for a new, finro story single family dwelling at 1452
Drake Avenue, Zoned R-1 (see attached November 24, 2008 Planning Commission minutes). The
Commission approved the applications on a vote of 3-2-0-2. Dissenting Commissioners expressed
concern that the project, as designed, was incompatible with the character of the neighborhood within
which the project is to be situated.
On November 26, 2008, City Council Member Jerry Deal appealed the Planning Commission's action
(see attached e-mail dated November 16, 2008). At its meeting of December 15, 2008, the City
Council, on a vote of 4-1, voted to grant the appeal and reversed the Planning Commission's approval
of the project, denying the request without prejudice, finding that the project's architectural style and
design are not compatible with the neighborhood (see attached December 15, 2008 City Council
minutes).
Planning staff would note that for the December 15, 2008 Cit_y Council meeting, the architect prepared
an optional design, which was presented to the City Council at the appeal hearing (plans date
stamped December 12, 2008, included for reference). The revised design option included changes to
all fniir hiii�riinr� farariQ�� rnpf rnn,fi,��ratin� anri �inn� �han�PG t� thP flnnr �lan�_ Tha c:h�nC�� nn thP
floor plans included eliminating the 60 SF trellis at the front of the house and adding 60 SF of floor
space to Bedroom 2 and adjacent hallway on the second floor. Therefore, was no increase in floor
area (3,014 SF (0.50 FAR) proposed where 3,020 SF (0.50 FAR} is the maximum allowed). Planning
staff would point out that with the removal of the trellis at the front of the house, the proposed lot
coverage decreased from 32.1 % to 31.1 % where 40% is the maximum allowed.
The applicant is now proposing a redesigned project to address the comments of the City Council and
Planning Commission (plans date stamped January 20, 2009). The project now proposed includes
additional changes to the optional design reviewed by the City Council.
Summary: The applicant is proposing to build a new, two-story single family dwelling and attached
one-car garage. The proposed house and attached garage will have a total floor area of 3,014 SF
(0.50 FAR) where 3,020 SF (0.50 FAR) is the maximum allowed. The proposed project is 6 SF below
the maximum allowed FAR.
Design Review and Special Permits 1452 Drake Avenue
The project includes an attached garage which provides one covered parking space (12' x 20' clear
interior dimensions) for the proposed four-bedroom house. There is one uncovered parking space (9'
x 20') provided in the driveway. All other Zoning Code requirements have been met. The applicant is
requesting the following:
■ Design Review for a new, two-story single family dwelling and attached garage (CS 25.57.010);
■ Special Permit for declining height envelope (105 SF along the left side and 31 SF along the
right side extend beyond the declining height envelope) (CS 25.28.075); and
■ Special Permit for attached garage (CS 25.28.035, a).

Review and Special Permits for declining height envelope and attached garage for a new, two story single
family dwelling; or uphold the appeal, and modify the Planning Commission's decision by providing specific

Reference staff report dated November 24, 2008, with attachments. Community Development Director
Meeker presented the report, reviewed criteria and staff comments. Fourteen (14) conditions were
suggested for consideration.
Chair Cauchi opened the public hearing.
Randy Grange and Yossi Zinger, 205 Park Road; represented the applicant:
Presented revised plans reflecting more traditional "Craftsman" details.
The enclosed "living area" of the proposed structure (excluding the garage and treilises) falis
more than 600-feet below the maximum lot coverage.
Commission comments:
■ Liked the revised design a bit better than the original design.
■ Support the attached garage because more yard space is created in the rear.
■ Requested clarification regarding the thought behind having the front door receded into the
farade (Grange: the massing concept is to have simple forms bridged by a glass porch/entry
connecting the two elements).
■ Concerned about what will happen at the rear of the property; particularly with respect to
drainage and maintenance (Grange: trees are on the top of the retaining wall. Zinger: are
planning to fill in the area and make it a landscape element; the channel will drain to the sump
pump).
■ Clarified that the wall at the rear of the property will be treated with a stone veneer.
■ Agreed that achieving a"Craftsman" style doesn't require total adherence to traditional details.
■ Building green and building sustainable doesn't require designing "Contemporar-�' architectural

architecture.
■ Supportive of application.
■ Asked if the `rain screen" siaing is a reai wooa materiai (Grang�: yes, I�81 v�iU�� iufiCu vui iiviii
the wall to permit rapid drainage behind it).
■ Asked if the siding comes with more of a texture (Grange: any type of siding may be used as a
"rain screen").
■ What is intended for the wall edge at the top of the flat roof portion of the structure (Grange: a
small copper flashing is installed; will patina with age). There might be a better way to treat this
detail (Grange: looked at pitched roofs, plates and other designs; this seemed to provide the
most punch). Perhaps provide a cap on this feature (Grange: needed to have the membrane
for the green roof roll up under the flashing).
■ Perhaps provide a bit more of an entry statement at the porch.

CITY OF BURLINGAME PLANN/NG COMMISSfON — Unapproved Minutes November 24, 2008
Public comments:
Mary Martocci, 1448 Drake Avenue and Pat Giorni, 1445 Balboa Avenue spoke: changes that
have been made are an improvement; but the design still does not fit within the neighborhood.
Would prefer a more traditional style. Noted that the architect indicated that the home is not
being sold; is being built by a non-profit corporation. The property is owned by a limited liability
corporation, as are the two properties adjacent. The same owner owned property in the 1400
block of Balboa Avenue; this property generates $190 in property taxes on an annual basis due
to the ownership by a non-profit foundation. The home on Balboa is used for school events
periodically and creates a disturbance. Will there be events held at the property? Is there a
home occupation permit that will be required for any business activities at the property. (Meeker:
noted that ownership of property is not the purview of the Commissian, it must focus only upon
the design issues. ir vioiations of tne R1 zoning accur in the future, they �Yill be ad�ressed as a
code enforcement matter).
There were no further comments and the public hearing was closed.
Additional Commission comments:
Commissioner Auran noted that he could not support the project, it is not appropriate for this
neighborhood.
CommissionerAuran moved to deny the application, with prejudice, noting that fhe design of the home
is out of character with the neighborhood.
The motion was seconded by Chair Cauchi.
Discussion of mofion:
Don't fhink it will fit in to fhe neighborhood, it is a stark, industrial looking building.
This block of Drake Avenue is eclectic; includes a mixture of styles; this would be a handsome
addition to the block.
Project will read as an additional style on the block; there is a project on De Soto that is an

SPECIAL PERMIT FOR
Declining Height - �
1452 Drake Avenue
The mass, scale, and dominant structural characteristics of the new construction
are consistent with the existing street and neighborhood. There is no existing
home on this site. There are a u�ide variety of houses on the street (in terms of
style, mass, scale etc...) and the proposed house will fit in. The site characteristics
(down sloping lot) create the need for a declining height permit for this project,
and this is consistent with the house next doar (to the Northeast) which also
requireu' the sar:�e special pe:m�it
2. The rooflines, fa�ade, materials, and elevations of the proposed house and garage
are different from, but not inconsistent with, the neighborhood and street. There is
no existing structure on the site. The proposed materials and detailing form a rich
combination, with natural wood siding, natural lime plaster, and consistent accent
features. The elevations all include a significant amount of articulation with wall
offsets and varied roof forms. The house is very low for a two story structure, and
has greater than required side setbacks, but due to the down sloping lot it still
encroaches into the declining height envelope.
3. 1. The architectural style is compatible with the character of the neighborhood.
2. The attached garage being proposed is appropriate for this site.
3. See items 1 and 2 above for comments about style, mass a�d bulk.
4. There is a larger than typical setback on both sides of this house.
5. A full landscaping plan is being provided, which will be a significant
improvement for the site.
Note: there are specifics about this site that make the declining height
encroachment anpear much more severe than it actually is. The point of departure
for a declining height envelope line is taken from the average grade between the
front and rear property lines, or as is the case here, the front and rear setback
iines. These points are based on what was once tnere prior io �revioa5
construction that included the installation of the retaining wa11s that leveled out
this site. If one were to consider a point of departure based on the existing site
topography, it would yield a dramatically different result.
4. No trees are being proposed forr�o}zt�•

SPECIAL PERMIT FOR
Attached Garage
1452 Drake Ave.
This is a proposal to have a one car attached garage. Attaching the garage provides more
usable interior parking, creates a larger rear yard, and minimizes on-site pavement which
also minimizes storm water run-off. The severe down sloping lot creates a very difficult
situation for a detached garage, and the house that was previously approved for this site
had the garage sitting way up above natural grade on a series of retaining walls; this
solution eliminates that issue.
The mass, sca�e, ar.d dominar.t st?-u�tural characteristics of the ne�v constr�cti�n
are consistent with the existing street and neighborhood. There is no existing
home on this site. There are a wide variety of houses on the street (in terms of
style, mass, scale etc...) and the proposed house will fit in. The site characteristics
(down sloping lot) create a situation where the attached garage is the more logical
parking solution.
2. The rooflines, farade, materials, and elevations of the proposed house and garage
are different from, but not inconsistent with, the neighborhood and street. There is
no existing structure on the site. The proposed materials and detailing form a rich
combination, with natural wood siding, natural lime plaster, and consistent accent
features. The elevations all include a significant amount of articulation with wall
offsets and varied roof forms. The attached garage is consistent with the
neighborhood. There are a variety of garage configurations in the neighborhood,
and, due to the down sloping lots, some houses have garages ur�derneath in the
rear.
1. The architectural style is compatible with that of the existing house and
character of the neighborhood.
2. The attached garage being proposed is consistent with the neighborhood.
3. See items 1 and 2 above for comments about style; mass and bulk.
4. There will be minimal impact on neighboring properties as the garage is set
WCll UQCK.
A full landscaping plan is being provided, which will be a significant

WHY SHOULD WE WORRY ABOUT SOIL EROSION?
I
Water and wind carry soil from our Bay Area land down into our
streams, ]akes and the Bay. This soil carries with it po1Tu-
tants such as oi1 and grease, chemicals, fertilizers, animal
wastes and bacteria, which threaten our water quality.
Svch erosion also costs the home construction industry, Iocal
governrnent, and the homeowner untold millions of dollars
a year.
Nature slowly wears away land, but human activities such :
construction increase the rate of erosion 200, even 2,000 tim�
that amount. When we remove vegetation or other objects th
hold soil in place, we expose it to the action of wind and wat
and inaease its chances of eroding.
The Ioss of soil from a construction site results in Ioss of topsc
minerals and nutrients, and it causes ugly cuts and gullies in ti
Iandscape. Surface runoff and the materials it carries with it cIc
our culverts, fIood channels and streams. Sometimes it destro�
wildlife and damages recreational areas such as Iakes and r
servoirs.
As an example, road and home building in the Oakland hi1l
above Lake Temescal flled the Iake to such an extent that it ha�
to be dredged in 1979 at a public cost of $750,000.
NEED MORE INFORMA?ION?
ABAG has produced a slide/tape show on soil erosion
called "Money Down the Drain." It is available for showing
to any interested group. CaII ABAG Public Affairs at (415)
841-9730.
ABAG has also published a"Manual of Standards for Sur-
face Runoff Control Measures" which deals extensively
with designs and practices for erosion prevention, sedi-
ment control, and control of urban runoff. The manual
addresses problems and solutions as tfiey apply tc
California and the Bay Area. It can be purchased frorr,
ABAG and is available on reference at many Iocal Iibrarie�
and in city and county public works and planning depart-
ments.
USDA Soi1 Conservation Service personnel are willing to
provide more information on specifc erosion problems.

Bay Area Governments and the East Bay Regional Park
District.

TIPS FOR THE HOMBOWNE�
"Winterize" your property by mid-September. Don't
wait until spring to put in Iandscaping. You need
wiater protection. Final landscaping can be done
Iater.
Inexpensive measures installed by fa1l wi1l give you
protection quickly that wi11 Iast aII during the wet
season.
In one afternoon you can:
• Dig trenches to drain surface runoff water away
from problem areas such as steep, bare slopes.
• Prepare bare areas on slopes for seeding by raking
the surface to Ioosen and roughen soil so it will
hold seeds.
/• � .
��` � ,
,�' ��
Seeding of bare slopes
• Hand broadcast or use a"breast seeder." A typical
yard can be done in Iess than an hour.
• Give seeds a boost with fertilizer.
• Mu1ch if you can, with grass clippings and Ieaves,
bark chips or straw.
• Use netting to hold soil and seeds on steep slopes.

Winter alert
• Check before storms to see that drains and ditches
are not clogged by Ieaves and rubble.
• Check after major storms to be sur� drains are clear
and vegetation is holding on slapes. Repair as
necessary.
• Spot seed any bare areas.

Soil erosion costs Bay Area homeowners millions of doI-
lars a year. We Iose valuable topsoil. We have to pay for
damage to roads and property. And our tax money has to
be spent on cleaning out sediment from storm drains,
channels, Iakes and the Bay.
You can protect your prop-
erty and prevent future
headaches by following
these guidelines:
BEFORE AND
DURIN�
CONS'IRUCTION
• Plan construction activities during spring and summer,
so that erosion control measures can be in place when
the rain comes.
• Examine your site carefully before building. Be aware of
the slope, drainage patterns and soil types. Proper site
design will help you avoid expensive stabilization work.
Preserve existing vegeta-
tion as much as possible.
Limit grading and plant
removal to the areas
under current construc-
tion. (Vegetation wi1l
naturally curb erosion,
�mnrnvo t4-�o a»r�oaranrg
r,...•.. rr_�_....._
and the value of your
property, and reduce the
cost of landscaping later.)
• Use fencing to protect plants from f�1I material and traffic.
If you have to pave near trees, do so with permeable as-
phalt or porous paving blocks.
• Preserve the natural contours of the Iand and disturb the
earth as Iittle as possible. Limit the time in which graded
areas are exposed.
• Minimize the Iength and
steepness of slopes by
benching, terracing, or
_ constructing diversion
- - structures. Landscape
� \` ��' benched areas to stabilize
. the slope and improve its
appearance.
• As soon as possible after grading a site, plant vegetation
on a11 areas that are not to be paved or otherwise
covered.
• Control dust on graded areas by sprinkling with water,
restricting traffc to certain routes, and paving or gravel-
ing access roads and driveways.

Grass provides the
cheapest and most ef-
fective short-term ero-
sion control. It grows
quickly and covers the
ground completely. To
find the best seed mix-
tures and plants for
your area, check with
your Iocal nursery, the
U. S. Department of Ag-
riculture Soil Conserva-
tion Service, or the
University of California
Cooperative Extension.
Mulches hold soil moisture and provide ground protection
frorn rain damage. They also provide a favorable envi-
ronment for starting and growing plants. Easy-to-obtain
mulches are grass clippings, leaves, sawdust, bark chips
and straw
Straw mulch is nearly 100% effective when held in place by
spraying with an organic glue or wood fiber (tackifiers), by
punching it into the soil with a shovei or roiler, or by tack-
ing a netting over it.
Commercial applications of
wood f bers combined with
various seeds and fertilizers
(hydraulic mulching) are effec-

the phone book.

Mats of excelsior, Jute netting and plastic sheets can be ef-
fective temporary covers, but they must be in contact with
the soil and fastened securely to work effectively.
Roof drainage can be collected in barrels or storage con-
tainers or routed into Iawns, planter boxes and gardens.
Be sure to cover stored water so you don't collect mos-
quitos, too. Excessive runoff should be directed away from
your house. Too much water can damage trees and make
foundations unstable.
STRUCTURAL RUNOFF CON?ROLS
Even with proper timing and planting, you may need to
protect disturbed areas from rainfall until the plants have
time to establish themselves. Or you may need permanent
ways to transport water across your property so that it
doesn't cause erosion.
To keep water from carrying soil from your site and dump-
ing it into nearby Iots, streets, streams and channels, you
need ways to reduce its volume and speed. Some exam-
ples of what you might use are:
perimeter dike
jute netting
