CONSTRUCTION OF A SWIMMING POOL OR SPA The Rolling Hills Zoning Ordinance requires swimming pools/spas with 800 square feet or more of water surface area to receive Site Plan Review approval from the Planning Commission. Under Site Plan Review, the Planning Commission may require a landscaping plan and a landscaping bond/security deposit to be deposited with the City prior to the issuance of a building permit for the construction of the swimming pool/spa. Security deposits are held by the City for a minimum of two years after planting to ensure that the landscaping complies with the approved plan and that it is being maintained in good condition. Additionally, plans must show that the lot can be developed (or an area set aside) with a minimum of 1,000 square foot stable/corral with vehicular access. The set aside area for the stable/corral must comply with the City's criteria for development and must be in an area suitable for construction. Swimming pool/spa less than 800 square feet which do not require grading, do not cause exceedance of the structural or total lot coverage or disturbed area limitations, or encroach into setbacks, may be approved over-the-counter (administrative approval) and do not require Planning Commission approval. However, a landscaping plan is required prior to the issuance of a building permit. Landscaping introduced in conjunction with the swimming pool/spa may not include trees that will exceed the rid�fight of the adjacent structures or 25 feet, whichever is less. An inspection will be Gad bne year after the swimming pool/spa is constructed to determine compliance with the approved landscaping plan. Excavation for a swimming pool/spa is not, in itself, considered grading. However, creation of a buildable pad for the purpose of locating the swimming pool/spa on the pad will require Site Plan Review if the pad creation meets the definition of grading pursuant to the City of Rolling Hills Building and Construction Code. City of RoOEircg Hiirs 2 Portuguese Bend Road Rolling Hills, CA 90274 (310) 377-1521 May, 2005 MEMORANDUM TO FILE: MAY 20, 2004 RECONSTRUCTION — 44 EASTFIELD DRIVE, MR. & MRS. DONALD KUNKLE Soils and geology studies and review by the County of the reconstruction and addition to the house, necessitated the construction of caissons at several corners of the structure, including 4 corners of the existing garage, which encroaches into the side yard setback, and one caisson through the middle of the garage. The applicant's architect/engineer determined that the drilling/construction for the caissons might cause the garage walls to collapse. (In order to reconstruct the house, without a discretionary permit, it was required that the garage remain in its current place/condition — see MEMO dated 5/24/02). The architect inquired if they can demolish the walls of the garage and reconstruct within the existing footprints, including providing certification to that effect after the re -built. After discussing this matter with the Assistant City Attorney, it was determined that the structure would loose its nonconforming status, if it was completely demolished, regardless of the fact that the caissons are the City's requirements and not a desire by the applicant to change anything from the original approval. As the City's long standing policy has been that if at least one wall remains standing, the construction is not considered "NEW", and would not require a discretionary permit, it was determined in this case, that at least one of the garage walls must remain standing at all times during construction, or the project would loose its nonconforming status, (located in the setback). The applicant's architect was verbally informed of this requirement and was asked to provide pictures of the wall(s) which is to remain standing during the construction and certification (after completion) that the remaining garage was reconstructed within the pre-existing footprints. 1• MEMO TO FILE: MAY 24, 2002 RECONSTRUCTION OF 44 Eastfield Drive, Mr. and Mrs. Donald Kunkle The applicant is proposing to demolish most of the residence, and reconstruct with an addition of 999 square feet to the residence. The area in the south side yard setback, classified as legal non -conforming encroachment, used for a garage will remain, (will not be demolished), and therefore does not require a Variance. The existing house also encroaches into the front yard setback and into the north side yard setback. The proposed reconstruction will move the house back, out of the front and side yards setback. Therefore, other than the encroachment of the house on the south side, which exists and will not be demolished, the house will be in compliance with the setback requirements. Pursuant to section 17.24 of the Zoning Ordinance (Non -conforming Structures/Uses) and city attorney's opinion, an addition may be made to a non -conforming structure as long as that non -conformity is not exacerbated by the construction.In addition, the City always held that if one or more walls of a structure remains, the construction of the new portion of the house is not considered "NEW" construction and, therefore, it does not require a discretionary approval by the PC. Up to 1000 sq.ft. may be added to a residence with over-the-counter approval.
