OLD BUSINESS
A. CONSIDERATION OF A REPORT REGARDING VEHICLES NOT ADHERING
TO THE STOP SIGN AT GATES AS THEY EXIT THE CITY.
City Manager Nealis presented the staff report and reported that the recommendations outlined
in the memorandum from the Traffic Engineer have been carried out. Commissioners discussed
the operation of the gates. Chair Leeuwenburgh reported that all three gates operate differently
and perhaps this causes some confusion to the residents and suggested that a lightweight stop sign
be placed on the gate arm. Rolling Hills Architectural Inspector Roger Vink stated that a stop sign
mounted on the gate arm is not feasible. Mr. Vink also stated that the reflective tape that has
been installed on the gate arms allows more visibility to the residents.
Hearing no further discussion and no objection, Chair Leeuwenburgh ordered that this report
regarding vehicles not adhering to the stop sign at gates as they exist the City be received and filed.
B. CONSIDERATION OF RELOCATION OF THE MAILBOX PRESENTLY
LOCA'I'BD ON PORTUGUESE BEND ROAD.
City Manager Nealis presented the staff report outlining the background on the relocation of the
mailbox. He reported that he has discussed this relocation with the Postmaster and that she
indicated that the only requirement the post office would have would be that they are notified of
the new location. City Manager pointed out to the Commission that a draft flyer has been
prepared to announce the relocation of the mailbox to the residents as well as the location of the
recycling center and asked that they review it for recommendation to the City Council.

NEW BUSINESS
A. CONSIDERATION OF .SIGNAGE ON PORTUGUESE BEND ROAD
ADJACENT TO RANCHERO ROAD.
City Manager Nealis presented the staff report outlining the request for this signage and the costs
involved. Chair Leeuwenburgh indicated that she drove this section of roadway on her way to the
meeting this morning and suggested that the Commission schedule a field trip to the area this
morning. Commissioner Henke reported that the roadway maintenance in this area is difficult and
that a warning sign would be of benefit to the residents of the area as well as those visiting in the
area.
Discussion ensued regarding the roadway striping in this area. City Manager Nealis reported that
he will contact the contractor that completed the Citywide Striping project and request that they
strip this section of roadway.
Hearing no objection, Chair Leeuwenburgh ordered that consideration of this item be continued
to the field trip scheduled at the conclusion of Traffic Commission business.
B. CONSIDERATION OF DRIVEWAY ACCESS TO A PROPOSED NEW SINGLE
FAMILY RESIDENCE AT 7 STORM HILL LANE.
City Manager Nealis presented the staff report outlining the background on the proposed
development of this property. Commissioners discussed this proposal and expressed concerns
regarding the width of the driveway to the residence for emergency vehicle access as well as where
it meets the hammerhead turn -around and future development of this property.
During discussion, Commissioners recommended that the driveway width be at least 24 feet. It was
also suggested that the driveway width where it meets the hammerhead be a minimum of 24 feet.
Chair Leeuwenburgh expressed concern regarding access of emergency vehicles should the property
owners decide to develop the property north of the hammerhead. She suggested that future
development of the property north of the hammerhead will require a cul-de-sac turn -around per
the Fire Department Code. Commissioners concurred that a field trip to the site would enable
them to better understand the configuration of this proposed driveway.

MA'1"1'ERS FROM STAFF
A. REPORT REGARDING ROAD KILL RESEARCH.
City Manager Nealis indicated that no information has been obtained as no road kills have been
reported recently.
Hearing no further discussion, Chair Leeuwenburgh recessed the meeting at 9:45 a.m. to the field
trip. She stated that the meeting will reconvene in the vicinity of 11 Georgeff Road.
FIELD TRIPS
CONSIDERATION OF A CURVE WANING SIGN IN THE VICINITY OF 11
GEORGEFF ROAD.
Commissioners reconvened at 11 Georgeff Road at 9:55 a.m. Traffic Engineer Ken Johnson
indicated that the present location of the sign between 11 and 13 Georgeff Road is appropriate.
Following discussion, Commissioners concurred with the Traffic Engineer and directed staff to
provide correspondence to Tinka Cramer indicating their findings that the present location is where
the sign should be located. Staff was also directed to inform the property owner that the first
Eucalyptus tree located south of the 15 mph curve warning sign needs to be cleared to a distance
of 15 feet above ground and that the berry bush located adjacent to the sign needs to be trimmed
to provide visibility for motorists. Traffic Engineer Ken Johnson indicated that he would forward
a memorandum to the City Manager memorializing his opinion determined in the field.
CONSIDERATION OF SIGNAGE ON PORTUGUESE BEND ROAD ADJACENT TO
RANCHERO ROAD.
Following convening in the field at this location, the Traffic Engineer recommended a dip sign be
installed 100 feet north of Ranchero Road visible to motorists on Portuguese Bend Road. Staff
was directed to obtain a memorandum from the Traffic Engineer relative to this recommendation
and to submit the recommendation of the Traffic Engineer to the City Attorney for an opinion.
If the City Attorney concurs with the Traffic Engineer's recommendation, staff is directed to
complete the installation of the signage.
CONSIDERATION OF DRIVEWAY ACCESS AT 1 BUGGY WHIP DRIVE.
Meeting in the field at this location, Commissioners expressed concern relative to the proposed
driveway access as it appears to be in conflict by being directly across the street from a driveway
on the other side of the roadway. Traffic Engineer Ken Johnson reviewed the site and
recommended that the driveway access at 1 Buggy Whip Drive be located at least 50 feet north of
the proposed location. Discussion ensued among Commission members and the Commission
concluded that the applicant should resubmit their plans showing the driveway location at least 80
feet north of the current proposed location. Commissioners concurred that the width of the
driveway should be a minimum of 20 feet for its entire duration and that the old driveway to the

existing house shall be removed and returned to a natural state.
Following discussion, the Traffic Engineer indicated that either the 50 foot or 80 foot location
would be acceptable from a traffic safety standpoint. Chair Leeuwenburgh indicated that the 80
foot location offsets the proposed driveway from opposing driveways across the roadway in the
safest manner and it provides the best site distance in both directions of vehicular travel on Buggy
Whip Drive. Chair Leeuwenburgh also reiterated on recent complaints that have been received
relative to speeding on Buggy Whip Drive and the increased Sheriff's patrols that have resulted.
The applicant indicated that they would return with plans depicting the Traffic Commission's
request.

Hearing no objection, this meeting was adjourned at 11:00 a.m. in appreciation of John Welbourn's

required for consideration of any of these subdivision requests. City Manager Nealis explained the
County Subdivision Committee review process and indicated that the Planning Commission is
currently holding the Resolution of Approval for this case in abeyance until Traffic
concerns/conditions have been determined by the Traffic Commission. Commissioner Wiener
questioned the 20 foot roadway proposal and expressed concerns whether the Fire Department had
been consulted in this matter. Staff explained that the County Fire Department has reviewed this
and have concurred with the proposal as it is currently being presented. Deputy Traffic Engineer
Ken Johnson indicated that a 20 foot roadway width is minimal distance required for maneuvering
fire safety equipment.
Doug McHattie of South Bay Engineering, representing the applicant, indicated that the roadway
design was worked out with the Fire Department and that the 4 foot decomposed granite would
provide a surface that can be utilized by fire safety vehicles. Additionally, Mr. McHattie explained
that the 32 foot radius cul-de-sac is meeting the conditions of the Fire Department as well as the
17% grade.
Chair Leeuwenburgh questioned the impact of the proposed modifications on Pine Tree Lane to
the surrounding areas. South Bay Engineering representative Doug McHattie indicated that the
proposed modifications to the entire roadway will only require the removal of one tree.
Commissioner Henke questioned the proposal by South Bay Engineering to add asphalt where the
roadway would be amended and then to cap the entire roadway with a 2 inch roadway cap. South
Bay Engineering expressed that this is the best way to handle this work. City Manager Nealis
expressed that the Community Association has the ability to modify any of the roadway materials
proposed as it will be a private roadway deeded to the Community Association.
Following a brief discussion, the Commission adjourned to the field location to view the proposed
cul-de-sac and roadway modifications in conjunction with this case at 9:12 a.m.
RECONVENE
Commissioners reconvened at 9:20 a.m. in the field at the above referenced site. Following review
of the cul-de-sac proposal in the field, Commissioners set forth the following conditions for this
project:
• That all existing driveways will be approved by the Traffic Engineer following modifications
to the roadway to determine if adequate sight distance is present following the roadway
modifications at each driveway location.
• Any new driveway approaches at the cul-de-sac or on Pine Tree Lane will be submitted to
the Traffic Commission upon development of each individual property.
• No new driveway approaches were approved by the Traffic Commission during these
deliberations.

ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING
38. The project site is a large 7.43 acre parcel consisting of
undulating hillsides and knolls covered by grasses, and mature
shrubs and trees, with some areas being heavily wooded. Currently,
there is a large one-story single family residence with attached
garage, a pool, tennis court and guest house on the lot.
Landscaped lawns, shrubs and trees surround the existing residence,
with native plants, grasses, shrubs, and trees beyond the
residential area. Native birds and animals frequent the area such
as sparrows, crows, raccoons, possum, skunks, gophers and an
occasional fox.
39. The site is located within a one unit per 2 -acre zone
designation and is surrounded by similar development of the one-
story ranch style w th birds and animals agricultural bfrequent uildings.thesareacribed in

this page. A detailed discussion of all potential environmental
impacts checked "Yes" or "Maybe" is provided, along with
appropriate mitigation measures.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
Item 40. Earth.
a -d. Although approval of the project will not result in unstable
earth conditions or in changes in geologic ubstructures, it should
be noted that portions of the City exhibit unstable earth
conditions, including active landslides and soil creep. The Land
Use Element of the General Plan establishes a Landslide Hazard
Overlay to carefully regulate development in unstable areas. This
property is not within a mapped active landslide area. Grading,
excessive irrigation, and/or increased septic tank discharge in
unstable areas may trigger additional slope failure. Because the
City is located in seismically active southern California,
additional development will be exposed to potential groundshaking
in the event of an earthquake. The Palos Verdes fault, considered
potentially active, is located approximately one mile northeast of
the City.
Although approval of the subdivision of land will not result in
disruptions, displacements, compaction, or overcrowding of the
soil, during future construction these will occur
in g order to
prepare a.26,000 square foot building pad for the
b e.
A smaller building site currently exists. Any displacement and
recompaction of the soil will be required to conform with local
ordinances and engineering practices requiring balanced cut and
fill and should not cause a significant environmental impact.
e -g. Also, during future construction, there will be removal of
natural vegetative cover, potentially causing an increase in soil
erosion by wind action or storm runoff. This reduction of
vegetative cover and the increased runoff associated with
development may cause a slight increase in the soil deposition,
siltation, or erosion in or near the ocean. As additional
development is limited to one (1) single-family dwelling unit,
related erosion impacts will be less than significant.
Mitigation Measures
1. The applicant shall prepare and submit to the City a
preliminary grading plan showing proposed drainage
facilities, driveways, building pad(s), stable, corral,
and blue line streams, for the lot at least 30 days prior
to the Planning Commission hearing on the subdivision
application.

i. No major floodplains exist in the City, and development is not
permitted in the canyon areas most likely to be affected by
flooding. No open bodies of water occur within the City, thus no
such hazard exists. The project is located high enough and far
enough away from the ocean that tsunami hazards do not exist.
j. Because the applicants propose a septic tank system, some
discharge into surface waters downstream may occur.

proposed, this impact will be less than significant. In addition,
the General Plan and Zoning Code set forth policies which encourage
the retention and use of native drought tolerant vegetation in
landscaping. No known rare and endangered species of plants exist
in the City.
Item 44. Animal Life
a. As further development occurs in Rolling Hills, the natural
habitat of the area will be slightly reduced. But, the impact of
the current proposal is expected to be less than significant.
b. Large lot, estate density development proposed for this project
provides the opportunity to retain substantial amounts of existing
habitat. The only animal listed by the Federal Government is the
Palos Verdes Blue, a butterfly which was last seen in theRolling
Hills area in May, 1986. Several other animals do occur, however,
that are considered as candidates for protection by either the
Federal Government or the State Government. The Tiger Beetle,
while not considered to be endangered or threatened, does maintain
a sensitivity to humans, exists to an extent that maybe cause for
concern. Recently, the California gnatcatcher was added to the
list of endangered species- and, in a recent census, one pair of
gnatcatchers were located at the southern tip of the City adjacent
to the City of Rancho Palless significant.

therefore expected to be less than significant.
Item 52. Transportation/Circulation
a. Buggy Whip Drive is a short, winding private road that will not
require widening. The incremental increase of one larger dwelling
unit will not generate more than an estimated 10 daily vehicle
trips. This is considered less than significant.
Item 59. Cultural Resources
a. While prior tilling and dry farming practices may have.
disrupted potential remains, grading prior to construction may
uncover a cultural resource.

Mitigation Measures
2. In the event that subsurface material of an
archaeological,paleontological or other cultural resource
is encountered during project grading or development, all
grading and construction shall cease in the immediate
area, and the find shall be left untouched until a
qualified professional archaeologist or paleontologist,
whichever is appropriate, is contacted and called in to
evaluate the find and makes recommendations as to
disposition, mitigation or salvage. The developer shall
incur the cost of such professional investigation. The
developer shall comply with the mitigation measures
recommended and approved by the City for the disposition,
mitigation or salvage of such material.
