SUBJECT
Address / Location: 619 W. 39th Ave., San Mateo, 94403
State Reasons for Appeal and Particular Areas of Concern (if an appeal of Planning Applications conditions of approval, please list each condition appealed and the reason for your appeal):
1) Ralph Robinson, Contract Associate Planner for the City of San Mateo, alleged at the Planning Commision hearing that the original notice for public comments of the project was sent to my Marshall address and claimed my tenant did not forward it to me. That statement is incorrect. I had informed the Planning Department that my tenant, verbally and in writing, stated the notice had not been received at my Marshall address. 2) One of the commissioners had a working relationship with the subject's architect and should have recused himself from voting against my objection to the project as currently proposed.
Added Comments or Proposal (if any):
1) During the Planning Commission hearing, my presentation of there not being 3 story homes in the neighborhood was not considered seriously because, according to the commissioners, the proposed 3 story project looked okay as is, but my proposal that using a flat roof on the currently proposed addition to reduced the impact on views from my home was rejected. My other two proposed alternatives in lieu of the current proposal, including building an ADU or building a flat roofed addition above the existing flat roofed family room which would reduce the overall addition height by up to 5 feet, were not considered at all. 2) The applicant and her designated building contractor Luis Larrazabal, do not come before the Council with clean hands. The applicant has at least two building projects done without a building permit, such as a large family room and bathroom additions. Larrazabal is not the property owner, he is not licensed, and he has a many year history of incurring debts of over $1 million involving taxes and mechanics liens on various projects.
