COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES, STATE OF CALIFORNIA
In the Matter of the Application
of
Mr. Clifford R. Barbee
Lot 42SF
Zoning Case No. 94
FINDING AND FORMAL REPORT
The application of Mr. Clifford R. Barbee, Lot 42SF, Southfield
Tract, for variances of front and side yard requirements under Article III,
Sections 3.06 and 3.07 of Ordinance No. 33 came on for hearing on the
21st day of April, 1970 at the hour of 8:00 P.M. at the Administration
Building of the City of Rolling Hills, California, and the applicant,
having submitted evidence in support of his application, the Planning
Commission, being advised, now makes its Findings and Formal Report as
required by the Ordinances of the City of Rolling Hills, California.
I,
The Commissionfinds that the applicant, Mr. Clifford R. Barbee,
is the owner of that certain real property described as Los 42SF,
Southfield Tract, located in the City of Rolling Hills, California,
and that notice of the public hearing in connection with said appli-
cation was givenas required by Sections 8.06 and 8.07 of Ordinance
No. 33 of the City of Rolling Hills, California.
IIo
The Commission further finds that no person appeared at said
public hearing in opposition to the application for a variance, and
that no evidence was received by the Commission in opposition thereto.
III0
The Commission further finds that the lot was pre -graded, and
placement of the house on the pad is limited, but bridle trail ease-
ments were reserved, and the variances were requested for construction
of a retaining wall in the side and front yard. The owner stated,
further, that the wail would be constructed of smooth poured concrete,
painted white in compliance with requirements of the Rolling Hills
Community Association, and he would be willing to do necessary plant-
ing to soften the effect of the wall. The Commission finds, there-
fore, that the variance of front and side yard requirements to allow
construction of a retaining wail in the front and side yards should
be granted to the applicant in order to preserve substantial property
rights possessed by other property in the same vicinity and zone,
and that the granting of such variance will not be materially detri-
mental to the public welfare, nor injurious to property in the same
vicinity and zone.
IV.
From the foregoing it is concluded that a variance of front
and side yard requirements should be granted by the Planning Commis-
sion of the City of Rolling Hills to Mr, Clifford R. Barbee, Lot 42SF
Southfield Tract, in accordance with the plot plan marked Exhibit I
on file in these proceedings, and it is, therefore, so ordered.
