Applicant and Architect: Mark Robertson APN: 026-171-060 Property Owners: Frank and Robin Knifsend Lot Area: 6,000 SF General Plan: Low Density Residential Zoning: R-1 CEQA Status: Article 19. Categorically Exempt per Section: 15301 Class 1(e)(1) - additions to existing structures provided the addition will not result in an increase of more than 50% of the floor area of the structures before the addition. History: On August 14, 2006, the Planning Commission approved an application for Design Review, Front and Side Setback Variances, and Parking Variance for a first and second story addition (August 14, 2006, P.C. Minutes). Additionally, an FYI for minor revisions, including changes to the windows in the kitchen, was reviewed by the Planning Commission on March 12, 2007. A building permit was issued on June 5, 2007, and construction is underway. Proposed Revisions: The applicant is now requesting an Amendment to Design Review for changes to a previously approved first and second story addition at 1243 Cabrillo Avenue, zoned R-1. The applicant submitted revised plans, dated stamped July 16, 2007, which include the following proposed revisions: ■ Windows: Changed from casements windows with a single row of grids at the top to double hung windows with gridded panels at the top. ■ Siding: Changed from lap siding and stucco to shingle siding throughout. ■ Kitchen Porch: The rear porch on the right side of the house has been enclosed to create a"mud room". The proposed changes do not increase the previously approved floor area because the previously proposed rear covered porch was already included in the floor area calculations (the proposed front porch is greater than 100 SF, therefore the 100 SF floor area exemption had already been expended). There are no other changes proposed to the project. The applicant is requesting the following: ■ Amendment to Design Review for changes to a previously approved first and second story addition (C.S. 25.57.010). Summary (includes proposed revisions, plans date stamped July 16, 2007): The existing house is one story with an attached one-car garage. There is a 292 SF accessory structure located at the rear of the property. The project includes removing more than 50% of the exterior walls, including the attached garage, and adding to the right side and the rear of the building. Code section 25.08.643 defines substantial construction as wholly new construction, or removal and replacement of 50% or more of the exterior walls of a building. The second floor addition will be 1,315 SF and will add three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a study. Because the first floor reconstruction includes removing the attached one car garage, the lot coverage will actually decrease. The existing lot coverage is 37.9% (2,276 SF) and will be reduced to 36.3% (2,180 SF). The floor area of the house will increase from 2,123 SF (0.35 FAR) to 3,306 SF (0.55 FAR) where 3,312 SF (0.55 FAR) is the maximum floor area allowed on this lot. The proposal is 6 SF below the maximum allowed floor area. Design Review Amendment The original project approval included requests for the following: 1243 Cabrillo Avenue • Design Review for substantial construction for first and second floor additions; • Parking Variance for parking space dimension (10' x 20' required, 13'-6" x 19'-8" proposed); • Front Setback Variance (15'-10" proposed where 16'-10" is required); and • Left Side Setback Variance (3'-10" proposed where 4' is required).

These changes include a window style change, a siding change, and a porch enclosure off their Kitchen. WINDOW CHANGE: After meeting with various window reps. the Knifsends have chosen Siera Pacific Windows and Doors for their project. Seira Pacific does not provide windows that exactly match the windows as drawn on plans, so I have redrawn the windows to match their order. The primary change is that the original windows were all spec.'d. as casements with single row of grids at top, and these have been changed to Dbl. Hungs with top panels grided. Egress windows remain Casements with grids to match the Dbl. Hungs. They also chose to eliminate grids at their French Doors. SIDING CHANGE: The Knifsends have also decided to change the exterior siding on their project. Originally shown as lap siding at upper floors and stucco on lower floors they request that the siding be changed to shingle siding throughout. Elevations have been revised to show shingles. KITCHEN PORCH ENCLOSURE: The Porch on the right side of the House — off the Kitchen — has been enclosed to make better use of the space. The Knifsends would prefer that this area be enclosed to allow for a"Mud Room" area where they can kick off their shoes when entering the house . The Porch enclosure totals 17.5 s.f. and has no impact to bldg. footprint. Thank you for your kind consideration, / �' A % �V Mark Robertson. 918 E.

Summary: On August 14, 2006, the Planning Commission approved an application for design review, front and side setback variances and parking dimension variance for a first and second story addition at 1243 Cabrillo Avenue, zoned R-1 (August 14, 2006, Planning Commission Minutes). A building pernut has not yet been issued for this project. The applicant submitted a letter together with the originally approved and proposed plans, date stamped February 21, 2007, explaining the proposed changes to the proj ect. The property owners would like to change the kitchen layout to incorporate a breakfast nook. The original proj ect included two casement windows in the kitchen along the right side of the house (1'-6" x 3'-6" and 3'-0" x 3'-6"). With the proposed changes to the kitchen, these two windows will be replaced with three equally sized casement windows (2'-0" x 3'-6") along the right side elevation). The designer notes that the brackets for the second floor overhang above the windows have been adjusted to accommodate the new window pattern. The design of the first and second story addition, other than those listed above, remains unchanged. Previously approved and proposed building elevations (date stamped February 21, 2007) are included for your review. Planning staff would note that because of the minor revisions, it was determined that the project could be reviewed by the Commission as an FYI item. If the Commission feels there is a need for more study, this item may be placed on an action calendar for a second review and/or public hearing with direction to the applicant.

Plr Hurin presented the report, reviewed criteria and staff comments. Eleven conditions were suggested for consideration. Commission asked if a parking variance for covered parking space dimension is required since the length was increased to 20'-0"; staff noted that the applicant can verify that the proposed dimension is 20'-0", if so a parking variance would not be required. There were no further questions of staff. Chair Brownrigg opened the public hearing. Fran Knifsend, property owner, and John Stewart, designer, 1351 Laurel Street, San Carlos, represented the project; confirmed that the size of the garage has been increased to 20'-0" clear interior dimension; the owners settled on a Craftsman design; submitted signed petitions of neighbors in support of the project; at the study meeting the Commission noted that the Dogwood tree in the rear yard near the Acacia will not do well together and asked if the Acacia tree can be removed and the Dogwood tree replaced with another tree from the Street Tree list, the neighbor would like to keep the Acacia tree, one option is to not plant a Dogwood tree next to the Acacia; submitted a letter from contractor noting that keeping the existing foundation, floor structure and walls will save the owners $20,000 in costs; the existing garage roof will be rebuilt so that the ridge is centered, the garage will contain stucco siding; the stone veneer will be continued at the same height around the entire house; rafters will be 32 inches on center throughout the house; downspouts will be round with a half-round gutter. Commission asked why water table was changed to stone veneer; architect noted that the stone is more irregular than brick, is more consistent with the proposed style, chimney will also contain stone veneer and will be gas vented. Commission noted that the revised design is handsome and consistent throughout. Commission asked what is the size of the columns proposed at the front; architect noted that the double columns will be 12" x 12". Commission asked the architect to clarify the size of the driveway pavers and if it will be a contrasting color; architect noted that the driveway pavers will be 8" x 12" with contrasting colors. Commission noted that the proposed citrus trees along the left side property line adjacent to the concrete patio at the reax of the house will be messy at maturity, not a good landscape screen, evergreen large scale shrubs would work better, such as Bay Laurel; architect agreed. Commission noted a concern with the 4x knee brace and noted that a 6x knee brace would look better. Commission commented that the 2x corner trim is too small and suggested that a 4x corner trim be used; architect noted that a 2" x 4" trim will be used. 13 City of Burlingame Planning Commission Unapproved Minutes August 14, 2006 Sigrid Geiger, 1237 Cabrillo Avenue and Pat Giorni,1445 Balboa Avenue, spoke. Noted that she would like to keep the Acacia tree because it blocks the view of a telephone pole, cannot move the telephone pole, there are large trees behind the lots which provide nice screening for rear yards, the property owners are good neighbors, asked that the Commission approve the proj ect and let them build the house they have wanted for a long time; current design is more charming than the previously proposed, worked hard to address the Commissions' concerns, the final design does not resemble the existing house but it does give a sense of home, this is a good addition to the neighborhood; in a letter dated April 5, 2006, the architect notes that in other cities variances are not required for existing nonconforming conditions, however they serve a good purpose in Burlingame, do not cause problems that other cities have.

RE: FYI — MINOR LOWER FLOOR PLAN REVISIONS AND WINDOW CHANGE Dear Commission Members, We would like to inform you of some minor changes made to our plans. These plans were previously approved on August 24�' 2006. These plans were originally designed by John Stewart and Assoc.,and I have been subsequently asked to take over the design phase and have been asked to provide the Structural / Permit / Construction plan set. In the course of providing the working drawings for this project, the owners requested that a few changes be made to the design: The Knifend's would like to add a Breakfast Nook off their new Kitchen, and we need to relocate the Kitchen windows to facilita.te this. The three Kitchen windows on the Right Side Elevation of the existing plan (Page#5) have been reconfigured to be three equally spaced 20/36 windows. The corbels for the second flr. overhang have been adjusted to suite the new window pattem. This concludes our revision. Sincerely, t � Mark Robertson. 918 E.
