Property Owners: Brandy and Peter Yarema
General Plan: Medium Density Residential
APN: 029-061-380
Lot Area: 5,515 SF
Zoning: R-2
Project Description: The applicant is proposing to demolish an existing one-story house and detached garage

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). The
applicant is also requesting a Special Permit for an overall height of 31'-6" where 30' is the maximum height
allowed in the R-1 without approval of Special Permit. 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));

consistent with the existing structure's design and with the existing street and neighborhood;

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

SPECIAL PERMIT APPLICATION FOR:
Attached Garage Exception at 746 Linden Avenue.
OC I 2 0 2016
cir,� oY ����.�NGary��
�7�J-�1�;i;�P�3iNG DI�l.
1. 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 smail
window with trim for aesthetics is also located in the gable 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 plane, does not
impede on privacy or sunlight.
4. The garage has no impact on the trees.

Height Limit Exception at 746 Linden Avenue.
GTY Qr B'Jt�tLIf�3GAS��i�
CD�-Pt�i�1N!i�?G DI��.
The height limit exception that we are asking for is very slight. It is a hip ridge line 4'-0" x
7'-6". It is location in the center of the building. It creates no bulk or mass and will not
affect the neighboring property in any way. It will not block sun light or views.
2. The ridge line is a 8:12 pitch and composition material. Although the neighborhood is
eclectic there are several homes with high pitch roof's and almost all the homes in the
neighborhood have composition roof material.
3. The ridge line will be consistent with Burlingame's residential design because it is within
the daylight plane, does not impede on privacy, it is a hip roof for sunlight and the
second story occurs near the center of the property.
4. The height has no impact on the trees.
