RESOLUTION NO. 2007-07
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF ROLLING HILLS GRANTING APPROVAL OF A
VARIANCE FROM THE REQUIREMENT THAT UTILITY LINES
BE UNDERGROUNDED IN CONJUNCTION WITH ADDITIONS
IN ZONING CASE NO. 741 AT 16 ROADRUNNER ROAD (LOT 2-
CR-1-1), (OLSON).
THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ROLLING HILLS
DOES HEREBY FIND, RESOLVE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Application was duly filed by Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Olson
with respect to real property located at 16 Roadrunner Road, Rolling Hills (Lot 2-
CR-H) requesting a Variance to not to underground utility lines on their
property, after having made improvements to their sre§idence including an
addition.
Section 2. The Planning Commission conducted duly noticed public
hearing to consider the application at their regular meetings on April 17, 2007.
The applicants were notified of the public hearing in writing by first class mail.
Evidence was heard and presented from all persons interested in affecting said
proposal and from members of the City staff and the Planning Commission
having reviewed, analyzed and studied said proposal. The applicants'
representative was in attendance at the hearings.
Section 3. In August of 2005, the property owners received an
administrative approval for a 584 square foot addition to the residence. No
grading was required. One of the conditions of the approval was to underground
the utility lines. Section 17.27.030 of the Zoning Ordinance states in part that "All
utilities servicing the building in question or any residentially zoned parcel shall
be installed underground upon: (B) Remodeling of a primary or accessory
building which entails enlargement of the structure or alteration of the building
footprint, and (D) Relocating in increasing the electrical panel servicing a
building or parcel".
Section 4. The property is located below street level. The utility pole
from which the applicant is drawing power is located above the subject property
on neighbors' lot, not in a roadway easement. The lines cross over the driveway of
subject property.
Section 5. Prior to completion of the construction, the applicant
contracted with Edison Co, for plans and specification to underground the
utilities and for the location of the new panel and was ready to proceed with the
undergrounding. While trenching for • placement of the lines, the applicant
encountered solid rock on the slope near the residence. In addition, large trees are
located in the general vicinity of the area where the trenching was taking place.
The applicant explored several other alternatives with the Edison Co., such as
allowing trenching in a different direction and connecting to the new panel from a

Re: 16 Roadrunner Road
Dear Ms. Schwartz,
I have more than 25 years experience in the landscape
field, including experience with the effects of digging
trenches in the vicinity of large trees. Our company has
seen situations where trees end up toppling over, or go into
shock and die as a result of trenches being created nearby.
I have been to the site and I am familiar with the property
at 16 Roadrunner Road, specifically the situation with the
existing trees, the driveway, and the overhead utility lines.
I believe that trenching in the vicinity of the existing large,
mature pine trees could weaken and or disturb the roots of
the trees to the extent that there is a realistic possibility that
the trees could topple over or go into shock and die.
Please contact me if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
can A. Bennett
