COMMISSIONE1L STAFF and PUBLIC COMMENTS
Be~t Myrin asked about the bright new clock tower at Wagner Park. Joyce Ohlson
responded that it would be looked into for compliance.
Myrin asked if the television in the from windows like the one in the Four Peaks
Development Office has, would the new time-share offices be able to have the
television in their windows. James Lindt responded that there was a complaint
about the one in the Four Peaks window but there was nothing in the code for
televisions. David Hoefer noted that neon was not allowed. Myrin stated that the
code said the neon and gas filled tubes, which would be a television were
prohibited as signs. Joyce Ohlson stated that would be researched and then
reported back.
Myrin asked for smaller maps so he could load them into his computer. Ohlson
stated said that often the maps were given in 8½ by 11 or 11 by 14 but this one was
a regular plat. James Lindt said that the stream margin included the surVey for the
top of slope that was why the larger maps were provided.
Jasmine Tygre extended the official welcome to the new P&Z members Jack and
Dylan.
Joyce Ohlson said that Burlingame parcel D was close to the AABC but connected
to what was called Big Burlingame; the council wanted to put forth an affordable
housing proposal using the COWOP process. There would be an eligibility
hearing on September 9th to see if this was in fact eligible for COWOP. A member
of the Planning Commission was requested for the COWOP. Ohlson said that Big
Burlingame was once again reactivating; Ruth and Jack would represent P&Z.
Parcel D (baby or little) Burlingame's representative would be Jasmine.
Eric Cohen said that with regards to the new parking time being 4-hour time limits;
it seems with less people in town it would be easier to find a parking space but
parking is worse than ever, even after 5 pm. Cohen said that we have lost the
ability for cars being moved with the 4 hour limits. Ohlson replied that she would
provide the city council memo from Tim Ware about parking.

DECLARATION OF CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
Dylan Johns disclosed that he had a conflict of interest on the Stream Margin
Review.
PUBLIC HEARING:
115 NEALE AVENUE STREAM MARGIN REVIEW
Jasmine Tygre opened the 115 Neale Avenue Stream Margin Review. David
Hoefer stated that notice was provided. James Lindt stated that the applicant
David Fuente submitted an application for Stream Margin review to construct and
interior floor that would bisect a two-story room into 2 one-story rooms. Lindt
noted that stream margin review was needed because there was an addition to the
street facing side of the house converted 9% additional living space, by adding this
additional floor they go over the 10% threshold of living space, which required a
stream margin review.
Staff felt that all the criteria with the exception of criteria #9 were met, which was
the top of slope that went right through the middle of the house. Lindt felt that this
was an existing non-conformity without an expansion to that non-conformity.
Bill Pollock and Steve Wilson of Zone 4 Architecture represented the applicant.
Bert Myrin asked if there was a fisherman's easement on the property. Lindt
replied that on the plat there was a trail easement, which gives fisherman access to
the river.
Ron Erickson asked about the matrix land use requirements. Lindt explained that
the land use applications were condensed to the matrix for the applicant. Erickson
