PROJECT LOCATION 746 Linden Avenue I t City of Burlingame Design Review and Special Permit Address: 746 Linden Avenue Item No. 8c Regular Action Item Meeting Date: February 13, 2017 Request: Application for Design Review and Special Permit for an attached garage for a new, two-story single family dwelling. Applicant and Designer: Natalie Hyland, Hyland Design Group Property Owners: Brandy and Peter Yarema General Plan: Medium Density Residential APN: 029-061-380 Lot Area: 5,515 SF Zoning: R-2 Environmental Review Status: The project is Categorically Exempt from review pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), per Section 15303 (a) of the CEQA Guidelines, which states that construction of a limited number of new, small facilities or structures, including one single-family residence, or a second dwelling unit in a residential zone, is exempt from environmental review. In urbanized areas, this exemption may be applied to the construction or conversion of up to three (3) single-family residences as part of a project. Project Description: The applicant is proposing to demolish an existing one-story house and detached garage to build a new, two-story single family dwelling with an attached garage. The proposed house will have a total floor area of 2,796 SF (0.51 FAR) where 2,865 SF (0.52 FAR) is the maximum allowed (including covered porch exemption). The proposed project is 69 SF below the maximum allowed FAR. The new single family dwelling will contain four bedrooms. Two parking spaces, one of which must be covered, are required on-site. One covered parking space is provided in the attached garage (12'-3" x 20'-3" clear interior dimensions); one uncovered parking space (9' x 20') is provided in the driveway. The covered parking space is provided in an attached garage, which requires approval of a Special Permit per C.S. 25.26.035(a). All other Zoning Code requirements have been met. The applicant is requesting the following: ■ Design Review for a new single family dwelling (C.S. 25.57.010 (a) (1)); ■ Design Review for construction of a garage attached to a single family dwelling (C.S. 25.57.010 (a) (6)); and ■ Special Permit for Attached Garage (CS 25.26.035 (a)).

The appiicant provided a letter of support for the proposed project signed by some of the surrounding neighbors. The Planning Division also received a letter opposing the project, from one of the adjacent neighbors. Both letters are included in the attachments to this report. Design Review Study Meeting: At the Planning Commission Design Review Study meeting on January 9, 2017, the Commission requested that the applicant reduce plate heights and overall height of the proposed structure to comply with current code and voted to place this item on the regular action calendar (see attached January 9, 2017 Planning Commission Minutes). The Commission also pointed out that the predominant pattern of garages in the neighborhood are detached garages. Commissioners did however note that the angled setback and significantly shorter lot depth in comparison to most of the lots in the neighborhood could provide some justification for an attached garage. The applicant submitted a response �etter dated January 31, 2017 and revised plans date stamped January 18, 2017 in response to the Planning Commission's comments. The plate height for the attic area has been reduced, lowering the overall height of the structure to under 30 feet (see updated Proposed Roof Plan on revised sheet 2 Design Review and Special Permit 746 Linden Avenue A1.0 and updated building elevations and building section on revised A3.0 sheets). The proposed garage remains attached; the property owners have also submitted a response letter to the Planning Commission, date stamped February 1, 2017, addressing their needs for an attached garage (see Attachments). 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: 1. 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. Suggested Findings for Design Review: That the architectural style, mass and bulk of the structure, featuring stucco siding, articulated first and second floor walls, proportional plate heights, aluminum clad wood windows, wood trim, composition shingle roofing, and sloping roofs with gable ends is compatible with the existing character of the neighborhood; that the windows and architectural elements of the proposed structure are placed so that the structure respects the interface with the structures on adjacent properties; and that the proposed landscape plan incorporates plants, hedges, and trees at locations to provide privacy and compatible with the existing neighborhood, the project may be found to be compatible with the requirements of the City's five design review criteria. Required 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. Suggested Findings for Special Permit (Attached Garage): For the following reasons, the project may be found to be compatible with the Special Permit criteria listed above: • that the proposed single-car garage complies with the off-street parking requirement for the project, side setback requirements, and exceeds the required front setback at 27'-11" where 25'-0" is required by code. • that the 22'-5" distance between the exterior wall of the proposed garage and the exterior wall of the neighboring structure provides a buffer between the two houses that respects the existing patterns of space within the neighborhood. 3 Design Review and Special Permit 746 Linden Avenue • that the wood traditional style door is integrated into the architecture of the house by way of a sloping roof and that the wood trellis above the door expands the architectural relief of the connecting covered porch with wood columns, providing a well-articulated front fa�ade that complements the existing character of the neighborhood. • that trees located within the footprint of the new structure have been transplanted to other locations on the site and incorporated into the landscape plan of the proposed project, and is consistent with the City's reforestation requirements. 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. At the public hearing the following conditions should be considered: that the project shall be built as shown on the plans submitted to the Planning Division date stamped December 27, 2016, sheets L-1 through L-5, A2.0, and date stamped January 18, 2017 sheets A1.0 and A3.0 sheets; 2. that any changes to building materials, exterior finishes, windows, architectural features, roof height or pitch, and amount or type of hardscape materials shall be subject to Planning Division or Planning Commission review (FYI or amendment to be determined by Planning staffl; 3. that any changes to the size or envelope of the first or second floors, or garage, which would include adding or enlarging a dormer(s), shall require an amendment to this permit; 4. that the conditions of the Building Division's October 17, 2016 and December 13, 2016 memos, the Engineering Division's October 19, 2016 and December 13, 2016 memos, the Fire Division's October 21, 2016 memo, the Parks Division's November 22, 2016 and December 16, 2016 memos, and the Stormwater Division's October 19, 2016 memo shall be met; 5. that any recycling containers, debris boxes or dumpsters for the construction project shall be placed upon the private property, if feasible, as determined by the Community Development Director; 6. that demolition or removal of the existing structures and any grading or earth moving on the site shall not occur until a building permit has been issued and such site work shall be required to comply with all the regulations of the Bay Area Air Quality Management District; 7. that prior to issuance of a bui�ding permit for construction of the project, the project construction plans shall be modified to include a cover sheet listing all conditions of approval adopted by the Planning Commission, or City Council on appeal; which shall remain a part of all sets of approved plans throughout the construction process.

Thank you for reviewing our project and commenting on our plans on January 9th, 2017. We have lowered the height of the building by changing the pitch of the roof. It has been reduced from an 8:12 to a 6:12 with an overall height of 29'-1" instead of 31'-6". The roof hatch has been softened to be less distracting and in addition, by lowering the pitch it reduces the amount of roof and appears to be aesthetically more pleasing. The garage remains attached and enclosed is a letter from the homeowners Brandy + Peter Yarema further explaining the importance of the attached garage to their design and lifestyle. Also attached is a neighborhood outreach notification. Sin rely, Nata 'e Hyland Hyland Design Group Brandy and Peter Yarema 746 Linden Ave Burlingame, CA 94010 Burlingame Planning Commission, ��5�,��,� F�3 - � ?.�;7 CiTY Oc "t3:irZ��1�G�t,✓?c .�r��-�i_;ii'.;�1�11� v1jJ. Hello again! Peter and I wanted to thank you for taking the time to review the plans of our forever home and for giving us your feedback during the January 9th planning meeting. While we addressed the height of the house according to your recommendations, we are resubmitting the plans with the attached garage. We are aware of what the city ordinance says, but we also know there are exceptions made for valid needs and reasons. We believe our home requires such an exception due to the parking issues on our street, the unfortunate shape of our lot, my own personal medical reasons that I have decided to share, as well as for safety reasons. These reasons go beyond merely wanting a better layout or the family entertaining we plan on doing in our home. Our reasons for wanting an attached garage are quite simple. It all boils down to practicality. Parking on our street is currently a problem. With a street that is primarily duplexes, there are more cars that need to be parked than spaces available. There are many nights we have to park in front of a neighbor's house instead of our own. Then there is the overflow of vehicles we get on a daily basis from the local high school; this gets even worse on weekends or during nights of sporting events. Between too many cars already on the street, trailers, extra cars from the high school, earthquake games, parking on our street is extremely challenging. Most people on our street and in Burlingame don't park in their detached garages, either because the size of today's vehicles no longer fit in a one-car garage, they aren't able to get down the narrow driveways, or its too inconvenient too constantly move the patio furniture blocking the garage. We want a functioning garage.. We want to park in our garage and get one car off an already crowded street. Instead of having a detached garage become storage space for clutter we don't need, what we need is a working garage. The attached garage also allows for a much better layout given our lot's unfortunate and odd shape. As many of you noticed, our lot is the shape of a long parallelogram, unlike the more evenly squared/rectangle lots of our neighbors. Attaching the garage allows for a wider home with a better yard flow vs. a long narrow home with an oddly shaped yard, like we currently have. Specifically due the shape of our lot, removing the attached garage would mean we'd lose the downstairs bedroom. A main floor bedroom is necessary for Pete's elderly mom to stay with us. This layout allows us the opportunity to have her with us for weeks at a time. This is our forever home and the space for family is very important. Like all of you, we are very mindful of being stylistically consistent with our street, which is why we turned to the three- year-old new build just two doors down for inspiration. Our attached garage, like the new homes would keep with the style already present on our street. In fact, since we last met, we've had a chance to speak with some of our neighbors and they agree our home, this design, is a good thing for the block. A few have even offered to write a letter on our behalf and/or said they would attend the next planning meeting. As to not put people out, we drafted a letter for them all to sign that we'd be happy to share. We're also requesting this exception for health reasons...my health reasons. While I was hesitant to bring this up because of the personal nature involved, perhaps you need to know. In my early 20's I got in to a horrible car accident at the intersection of Chateau and Skyline — someone purposely ran a stop sign and hit me right in the driver side door (a T-bone accident). After several bruised ribs, months of inedical procedures and rehabilitation, I have been left with permanent damage to my back in the form of multiple herniated discs that will never heal. While I've been able to manage my chronic back pain through medication, physical therapy and restricted activities, I will need to undergo back surgery to fuse my disks together once I am done having children. I often experience what I call "flare ups", increased pain, muscle spasms and stiffness. Of course, cold weather is a trigger for these flare-ups (so as you can imagine, my back has not been doing great of late). Getting into a frozen car at 6AM and waiting for it to defrost can set me up for a long and painful day. This becomes a non-issue when you can park in a garage where cars don't freeze over. It will also be much easier to unload groceries and kids in a garage rather than on the street, father away from the entrance to the home. Safety is also a concern of ours. While we like to think that Burlingame is a safe town, it's seen its fair share of burglaries. I for one have been victim. While moving into 746, a local teen tried to rob my U-Haul. Luckily a police officer was patrolling the area and caught the teen inside of it. As you can image, I didn't have the best first impression of the block. My parents' home on Bellevue in Hillsborough was also burglarized within the last 3 years and we all know about the resent Apple Store robbery. The police have also been called to a neighbor`s house from time to time. With Peter traveling reguarly for work, he would rest easy, as would I, knowing that I could go in and out of a garage versus settling into the car or getting out of the car, exposed on the street. A long driveway with detached garage also lends itseff to easier access to the backyard and backdoor entry, which we're looking to avoid. As you can see, this exception is very important to us for very specific and deserving reasons. A no on the attached garage would mean starting over or even terminating our dreams of what we want in our Burlingame forever home. Burlingame is expensive and this project, the way it's currently laid out, is what will allow us to stay here. This city is important to us. It's where I grew up. It's where my family lives. It's the city we both love and where we want to build our forever home. We hope you take this in to consideration and we look forward to hearing what you have to say on February 13tn Sincerely, Brandy & Peter Yarema �� $ ;''' r� � �a � . � �� ,.�' FEB — 1 2ril Re: Design Review Project 74b Linden Ave Burlingame, CA 94010 Burlingame Planning Commission, C?T�' C3� �"�R�„��u��,?d vf✓�-�t�""'.rtr,i�f�i'ti.�_"� �!�d.

At the present time there is a long drive way between our houses and their garage sits at the back of the long driveway at the end of the property.

Gum 731, 744 Planning Manager Gardiner provided an overview of the staff report. There were no questions of staff. Chair Loftis opened the public hearing. Natalie Hyland represented the applicant, with property owners Brandy and Peter Yarema. Commission Comments/Questions: > Nas the homeowner had a chance to share fhe plans with neighborsl (Hyland: Tried but were not home. Half of the adjacent houses are rentals.) > Was a rear garage considered? (Hyland: Most houses on street are duplexes. First design had garage in the back, but it used up half of the back yard. Would rather lose the square footage and have it attached.) > Height creates signifrcant mass, any thought about reducing plate heights and tota! height to fit in with neighborhood?(Hyland: We can lower the pitch and reduce the plate herght.) > With new constuction on a flat !ot in a neighborhood mostly one-story, rt's hard io justify the height. > Has a very vertical feel. Addressing the height would be helpful. > The single family houses tend to be lower profile. > Can see the rafionale for the attached garage because the lot is not as deep as the surrounding lots. > Could garage wrdth be reduced? (Hyland: �dth is based on measurement of the owners' cars with doors opened to get out.) Public Comments: There were no comments from the public. Chair Loftis closed the public hearing. Commission Discussion: > Handsome design. Massing is well articulated. > A lot of architectural detail on each facade. > Bringing down plate heights would be great. > Concern with the ga�age and height. > The lot size is not much smaUer than other lots in town. City of Burlingame Page 1 Printed on 219/2017 Planning Commission Meeting Minutes January 9, 2017 > Driving through neighborhood, interaction of front of house with neighborhood and street is what you're fooking at, not lof depth. > Hard to go above 30 feet if surrounding homes are not near 30 feet. > Driveway was overly wide. > Not sure if the street tree needs to be removed. > Dark horizontal lines on roof plan is distracting. > Well organized, but should come down in height. > Angled setback makes it more cha!lenging to use the lot, requires the house to be pushed further back, so there is good argument for the attached garage. > Rendering would help, or showing the drawing with less emphasis on the roof line weights. > Splrt vote of 3-3 on attached garage.

We would like to attached the one-car garage in order to maintain backyard space and minimize hardscape. The proposed garage reduces bulk and mass with a gable front facing roof line and trellis over the garage where there is negative space. A small window with trim for aesthetics is also located in the gabie to break up the mass and bulk. 2. The materials are stucco with siding in the gable which is craftsman style and appears to be the primary period style architecture of the neighborhood. We also propose a carriage style door and brackets. The trim around the window and garage door is craftsman style. 3. This is within the city's design guidelines because it fits into the daylight piane, does not impede on privacy or sunlight. 4.
