none, Install A/C & Furnace, Correspondence• i et Moien9 JUL June 17, 1996 Mrs. Debra Fournier 30 Crest Road East Rolling Hills, CA 90274 INCORPORATED JANUARY 24, 1957 NO. 2 PORTUGUESE BEND ROAD ROLLING HILLS, CALIF. 90274 (310) 377-1521 FAX: (310) 377-7288 SUBJECT: CITIZEN CONCERNS REGARDING TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP APPROVED AT 34 CREST ROAD EAST Dear Mrs. Fournier: Thank you for your letter about your concerns regarding the location of a future stable at 34 Crest Road East that has been approved for a tentative parcel map and the resident approval system for subdivisions. While space for a stable and corral are required to be shown on a tentative subdivision plan, there is no requirement that a stable and corral be constructed at all or that they are to be located at the exact place as shown on the tentative parcel map. In fact, should a new residence be proposed, the project would come under Site Plan Review by the Planning Commission and public hearings would be held. According to the Zoning Code, stables must be located at least 25 feet from any property line and 35 feet from any residential structure. We will also flag the file for 34 Crest Road East as well as the Subdivision file and place your letter and a copy of this letter within to notify you/or the current owner at 30 Crest Road East should stable plans be submitted. Subdividing within the boundaries of the City of Rolling Hills is governed by the State of California's Subdivision Map Act and Title 17 (Subdivisions) of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code. The review of subdivisions includes design, improvements, and conformance with the City's Zoning and Building Ordinances that are conducted during noticed public meetings. But, the City of Rolling Hills does not require adjacent neighbors to approve the granting of a subdivision. It is the Rolling Hills Community Association, a private corporation, that requires the approval of adjacent neighbors of a subdivision. As such, we shall forward your letter to Mrs. Peggy Minor, Association Manager. Again, thank you for putting your concerns in writing. Please let us know if you would like to discuss this further or perhaps, desire us to visit your property to review your particular lot configuration. ®Panted rvi R. i • Sincere, de , LOLA M. UNGAR PRINCIPAL PLANNER cc: Mr. Craig Nealis, City Manager Mr. Michael Jenkins, City Attorney Mr. Kevin Ennis, Assistant City Attorney Ms. Peggy Minor, Rolling Hills Community Association Manager • • 5/9/96 City of Rolling Hills c/o Lola Ungar, Principal Planner 1 Portuguese Bend Road Rolling Hills, California 90274 Dear Lola, flc; MAY 131996 CITY OF RO-L, zi HILLS By I have recently been made aware of some of the changes that are presently being discussed regarding the potential subdivision of the property owned by Mr. and Mrs. Occhipinti, 34 Crest Road East. It has been brought to my attention that their new plot plan shows a stable being located at the northwest corner of what would be their new lot configuration at the 34 Crest Road East address should the subdivision occur. This stable is extremely close to the master bedroom of my residence located at 30 Crest Road East. I am wondering if anyone from the planning commission took this into consideration when they approved this subdivision. If not, I think a reevaluation is in store. It is unconscionable that they would knowingly approve this kind of a set-up and/or not consider the impact on surrounding neighbors and residents. After all, they are the supposed experts on reading and evaluating plans and blueprints. It makes me rather sad that so many subdivisions are taking place in this city at this time. There are so few really nice, large properties remaining in Rolling Hills. To my knowledge, none of the neighbors immediately adjacent to the Occhipinti property are happy with his subdivision for a variety of reasons. Yet, all of us are feeling pressured into signing it into effect. It is my understanding that a number of residents located quite a distance from the Occhipinti subdivision and who are mildly impacted or not impacted at all are being given the same say as those whose property lines connect. This is, apparently, due to the fact that the size of the property is the primary factor in "votes", rather than degree of impact or location of the property of residents being asked to approve or disapprove a plan. For the sake of our entire community, not just those involved with this particular project, this regulation needs to be reviewed by your committee and/or the RHCA Board sometime soon. The inequity and unreasonableness is unfair to those residents whose property values and day-to-day living are impacted the most. In conclusion, there are really two issues I am addressing: (1) The resident approval system being used in our City for a subdivision/property change and; (2) the new stable location for the Crest Road property. The latter is the one which concerns me the most. I would appreciate that this concern be formally noted in the Occhipinti file and/or any other appropriate file(s) so that the above mentioned issues can be addressed at future meetings. I also would appreciate receiving any comments or information from your office or the City of Rolling Hills regarding this matter. I thank you in advance for your help.
