OPEN AGENDA - PUBLIC COMMENT WELCOME
Richard Colyear, 35 Crest Road West addressed the City Council regarding the deadline for the arguments
for and against the ballot measure to repeal Measure B that was placed on the November 7, 2017 ballot
and expressed his discontent with the fact that the ordinance going before the Planning Commission was
not available for review prior to the argument deadline as was indicated in the Citywide newsletter. Mr.
Colyear further asserted his opinion that it was purposeful that the draft ordinance was not available
before the deadline for arguments. Mayor Pro Tem Wilson assured Mr. Colyear that there was no
conspiracy in this matter.
Sue Breiholz, 6 Upper Blackwater Canyon Road addressed the City Council on behalf of Caballeros to
express concern regarding the fire fuel danger in the City and asked the City Council to agendize a
discussion on ways to proactively address the fire fuel danger per the letter that was sent previously by
Caballeros.
In response to Mr. Colyear's comments, City Attorney Jenkins stated that the Planning Commission has
been working on a proposal for a View Ordinance that will come to the City Council for consideration and
the intent was that the City Council would consider it before the November election. He commented that
what was to be available today was simply a DRAFT that the Planning Commission has not yet seen or
acted on and the City is a long way away from having a final ordinance; and for someone to see the
DRAFT and assume it was the final product would be a mistake. He further commented that today was
simply the deadline for putting in arguments for and against the repeal of Measure B and the deadline was
the same for all parties; and both parties had the same information available to them and all the
information from previous Planning Commission discussions on this matter are available as a part of the
open process.

CITY OF ROLLING HILLS GRANTING A MODIFICATION TO A PREVIOUSLY
APPROVED PROJECT FOR A SITE PLAN REVIEW, CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT, AND
VARIANCES FOR GRADING, FOR WALLS OVER 3' IN HEIGHT, AND WHICH WILL NOT

YARD OF THE LOT AND TO EXCEED THE MAXIMUM PERMITTED DISTURBANCE OF
THE LOT IN ZONING CASE NO. 897- MODIFICATION, AT 2 HILLSIDE LANE, (LOT 60-
RH), (ELKIN).
Mayor Pro Tem Wilson introduced the item and asked for staff's comments. Planning Director Schwartz
reviewed the applicant's request to modify a previously approved project in Zoning Case No. 897-
Modificaiton at 2 Hillside Lane. She stated that the Planning Commission approved the proposed
modifications to increase the size of the recreation room and to add a waterslide feature to the pool and the
conditions are the same as the previous approval. She stated that is was brought to staff's attention by
Councilmember Dieringer that one standard condition of approval that is usually included for all projects
was not included in this resolution and it was determined that the condition was inadvertently omitted. She
commented that the condition does not affect the concept or scope of the project nor does it enlarge or
diminish the project and it was a clerical error that is was not included. She provided the language of the
condition which states, "Prior of submittal of final working drawings to Building and Safety Department
for issuance of building permits, the plans for the project shall be submitted to City Staff for verification
that the final plans are in compliance with the plans approved by the City." She stated that staff proposes
to add the condition to the resolution since it is not a substantive change, with the City Attorney's
concurrence; and have the Chairman of the Planning Commission re-sign the resolution.
Mayor Pro Tem Wilson called for public comment on the resolution. Hearing none, he asked for
comments form the City Council.
Following brief discussion, Councilmember Dieringer moved that the City Council receive and file
Planning Commission Resolution No. 2017-09 granting approval of the applicant's request in Zoning
Case No. 897 -Modification at 2 Hillside Lane as amended to add the condition provided by staff.
Councilmember Mirsch seconded the motion, which carried without objection. Staff was directed to revise
the resolution and have the Chairman of the Planning Commission sign it.

none, he asked for comments form the City Council.
In response to Mayor Pro Tem Wilson regarding the property being for sale or possibly sold, City
Attorney Jenkins stated that this is a land use decision and property ownership is not relevant to the
decision. He stated that the case should be decided based on the criteria set forth in the Zoning Ordinance
— applying the facts against the legal requirements.
Following brief discussion and confirmation from the property owner's representative that they are not
opposed to the amended condition as presented by staff, Councilmember Mirsch moved that the City
Council adopt Resolution No. 1213 granting approval of the applicant's request in Zoning Case No. 917 at
5 Pine Tree Lane and approve a new driveway apron for a second driveway and a new pathway apron for
access to the stable per the Traffic Commission's recommendation. Councilmember Dieringer seconded

John Hunter and Associates to satisfy some of the City's stormwater management related requirements
including monitoring and reporting for the Machado Lake trash TMDL and Santa Monica Bay Marine

requirement began in 2008 and thus far, the City has met all of requirements. She reviewed Mr. Hunter's
qualification and other local clients stating that Mr. Hunter is present to answer any questions.
Following brief discussion, Councilmember Dieringer moved that the City Council approve a three year

Councilmember Dieringer and Mayor Pro Tem Wilson concurred.
Councilmember Dieringer suggested that the City Council direct staff to research alternatives for
increasing cellular coverage without adding to or increasing the number of cell towers as was discussed
during the Crown Castle presentation at the last City Council meeting. Following brief discussion, staff
was directed as such.
Councilmember Dieringer provided information she received requesting a letter in support of a 2017

PRESENTATION:
Crown Castle
Presentation regarding proposed wireless facility locations and conceptual designs.
Aaron Snyder, Government Relations Specialist and Julio Garcia, Senior RF Engineer provided the City
Council with an overview of Crown Castle's proposed wireless facility locations and conceptual designs
for the construction of wireless facilities in the City of Rolling Hills. Mr. Snyder reviewed the status of the
wireless industry in general, noting that existing facilities and facility design are not able to keep up with
the increasing demand. He stated that their intent is to increase coverage in the City and the proposal
consists of a total of seven locations for AT&T (6) and' Verizon (7) including new pole locations and as
well as installations on existing poles. Mr. Snyder further reviewed the proposed locations and conceptual
designs including smaller decorative poles and array of cabinet designs to blend in with the community.
Following discussion concerning the proposal, the City Council provided feedback to Crown Castle
expressing its general disinterest in the addition of new pole locations and suggesting that Crown Castle
provide the City with examples of nearby locations where similar installations exist so that the City can
see what they actually look like in a similar setting.
Keith Murphy, 3 Pine Tree Lane addressed the City Council suggesting that another alternative to be
studied could be the use of Wi-Fi calling through a land set up to possibly reduce the need for additional
wireless installations.

AND CONSIDERATION OF A RECOMMENDATION FROM THE TRAFFIC COMMISSION
TO APPROVE A NEW DRIVEWAY APRON FOR A SECOND DRIVEWAY AND A NEW
PATHWAY APRON FOR ACCESS TO THE STABLE AT 5 PINE TREE LANE.
Mayor Black introduced the item and asked for staff's comments. Assistant Planner Stewart stated that
this is a continued public hearing in Zoning Case 917 at 5 Pine Tree Lane where the City Council opened
the public hearing and visited the site on May 30, 2017. She reviewed the applicant's request for site plan
review, conditional use permit and variances for the remodel of an existing residence and new
construction of residential amenities. She stated that the proposal generally includes a residential addition,
new detached garage, tennis court, new stable and corral area, second driveway and a swimming pool and
spa. She further reviewed the details of the applicant's request.
In response to Mayor Black, Ms. Stewart stated that a driveway must be 50 ft. from a guesthouse and there
may be no parking or vehicular access to a guesthouse.
Mayor Black called for public comment.
Tavisha Ales, Bolton Engineering addressed the City Council to further explain the applicant's request
and the difference between this proposal and the previously approved project.
Keith Murphy, 3 Pine Tree Lane addressed the City Council regarding the existing shared driveway that
serves his property at 3 Pine Tree Lane and asked that the driveway not be blocked by construction
equipment during construction.
John Resich, 8 Outrider Road addressed the City Council as an attorney on behalf of the applicant stating
that they will work with the property owner at 3 Pine Tree Lane to work out a resolution with regard to
access to his property through the shared driveway once the status of this project is determined. In
response to Mayor Black's inquiry regarding parking for guesthouses, he stated that there is no guesthouse
proposed for this project.
Mayor Black expressed concern regarding the fact that there are two garages, two entrances, two kitchens
and two driveways proposed which in essence is like having a guest house, stating that he believes it
would be setting a bad precedent to approve such a configuration.
Discussion ensued concerning the existing driveway and providing access to the property at 3 Pine Tree
Lane.

DRAFT
In response to Councilmember Dieringer regarding conditioning an approval on the applicant maintaining
the existing driveway in its current location so that the resident at 3 Pine Tree Lane continues to have
access over the property, Planning Director Schwartz stated that is an easement issue and outside of the
City Council's jurisdiction.
Mayor Black expressed further concern regarding the proposal for two separate driveways suggesting that
access to the property at 5 Pine Tree Lane via the existing driveway be eliminated while maintaining
access to the property at 3 Pine Tree Lane via the existing driveway. Councilmember Wilson commented
that he would like to see the driveway access issue resolved prior to approving the project.
Councilmember Mirsch commented that she is not concerned that the proposed configuration lends itself
to being like a guesthouse and she believes that given the unusual circumstance on the property, she can
make the findings necessary for granting approval.
In response to Councilmember Dieringer, Assistant City Attorney Karpeles commented that it is not
within the City Council's jurisdiction to condition an approval on the issue regarding the shared driveway
being resolved or to delay consideration of the matter pending a resolution of the issue. Discussion
ensued concerning the design of the house, the need for two garages and driveways and possible solutions
to the shared driveway issue.
Mayor Black asked for further comments from the public regarding the shared driveway issue.
John Resich addressed the City Council stating that they have agreed with Mr. Murphy, in principal that
based on the approval of the proposed project, they would come to an agreement to allow access over the
property. Mr. Resich further explained the design of the house.
Keith Murphy addressed the City Council stating that although he would have preferred to have the
driveway issue resolved before this point; he is generally in support of the project and suggested that the
City Council not delay consideration.
Following brief discussion, Councilmember Mirsch moved that the City Council direct staff to prepare a
Resolution granting approval of the applicant's request in Zoning Case No. 917 at 5 Pine Tree Lane with
the standard fmdings of fact and conditions of approval including a condition that driveway access to the
property at 3 Pine Tree Lane not be blocked by construction equipment during construction.
Councilmember Pieper seconded the motion, which carried with Mayor Black opposed.

up event this past April where residents placed their items out well in advance of the 24 -hours allowed, in
some instances a week before, creating a very unsightly condition in the community. Discussion ensued
concerning the possible reasons for the situation including the fact that the event was a week before a
holiday and residents may be confused which weekend is for greenwatste and which weekend is for bulky
items.
Sam Pena, Republic Services addressed the City Council to provide history on the holding of these events
noting that the April event this year had more participation than those in the past. He commented that the
events used to be held separately with the bulky items in the spring and the greenwaste in the fall.
Discussion ensued concerning the various options for addressing this issue including cancelling the events
and offering a call in service instead. Councilmember Pieper suggested separating the bulky and
greenwaste events and holding them on a quarterly basis rather than bi-annually. He also commented that
due to busy weekday schedules, it may be necessary that items be put out the week before and it may be
better to hold the bulky item pick ups earlier in the week and allow residents to put the items out the
weekend before.
Following discussion, staff was directed to work with Republic Services to reschedule the bulky item and
greenwaste pick ups so that they occur separately with at least a month separation with the bulky item pick
up to be scheduled on a Wednesday and the greenwaste pick up to be scheduled on a Saturday.
Discussion ensued concerning the City's diversion rates and possible ways to increase diversion. In
response to Councilmember Dieringer, Mr. Pena commented that the State changed the mandates and
City's now are required to meet a per person target verses total diversion amount and the City is well
within the targets.
Councilmember Mirsch expressed her appreciation for the excellent service Republic Services provides to
the City's residents.
Councilmember Wilson asked Mr. Pefia to check the staging location at Portuguese Bend Road/Ranchero
Road to see if the mother truck is causing the broken asphalt on the berm at that location and address the
matter if necessary.

Mayor Black introduced the item and asked for staff's comments. City Clerk Luce presented the staff
report stating that based on direction at the last City Council meeting, before the City Council for
consideration are four resolutions relative to calling a special election to place a measure to repeal
Measure B. She provided background information stating that this measure was placed on the ballot for
the March 2017 election but was removed when the election was canceled for lack of candidates and at
that time, the City Council expressed its intent to place the measure on the ballot for a June or November
2017 election. She further reviewed the four resolutions.
Councilmember Dieringer expressed concern that since the moratorium expires on November, 27, 2017
and the new ordinance that the Planning Commission will be considering may not be in place before the
election, residents won't have an idea of what the changes are going to be to know that by repealing
Measure B, there would be provision in place to restrict view restoration to the view that was enjoyed
when property owner acquired the property as was put in place by Measure B. She expressed further
concern that there may be a plethora of view complaints filed under the old provisions during the interim
period if there is one.
Councilmember Mirsch commented that the Planning Commission is working on addressing the issues
that resulted in the passage of Measure B and those that are following the matter are aware of that fact.
She commented that Measure B needs to be repealed and even the proponents of Measure B agree on that
point. She commented that there are ways to manage the concern raised about the filing of complaints in
the interim including extending the moratorium and she does not see a benefit to putting off the repeal of
Measure B.
Mayor Black called for public comment. Hearing none, Mayor Black asked for a motion from

DRAFT
Councilmember Dieringer.
Councilmember Dieringer suggested postponing the election until June 2018 to ensure that the
"acquisition of the view" portion of Measure B is included in the new ordinance. Mayor Black again
asked for a motion.
Councilmember Dieringer moved that the City Council postpone the election until June 2018 to ensure
that the "acquisition of the view" portion of Measure B is included in the new ordinance. The motion
failed for lack of a second.
Following further discussion concerning the moratorium and holding the election in June versus
November, Councilmember Mirsch moved that the City Council adopt the following Resolutions as
presented: Resolution No. 1209 calling a Special Election to be held on November 7, 2017 for submission
to the voters a proposed ordinance to repeal Measure B; Resolution No. 1210 requesting the Los Angeles
County Board of Supervisors consolidate the election with the School District and Library District
Election held on the same date; Resolution No. 1211 setting priorities for written arguments and directing
the City Attorney to prepare an impartial analysis and Resolution No. 1212 allowing for rebuttal
arguments to the primary arguments for and against the measure. Councilmember Pieper seconded the
motion, which carried with Councilmember Dieringer opposed expressing protest that she was not able to
express all of the reasons for her no vote.
MATTERS FROM STAFF
STATUS UPDATE ON PLANNING COMMISSION'S DISCUSSION AND CONSIDERATION
OF AMENDMENTS TO THE CITY'S VIEW PRESERVATION ORDINANCE. (ORAL
REPORT)
Planning Director Schwartz provided a status update on the Planning Commission's discussion and
consideration of amendments to the City's View Preservation Ordinance. She stated that the Planning
Commission will be considering a resolution recommending a DRAFT ordinance at a public hearing
during its July meeting and following the Planning Commission's consideration, the DRAFT ordinance
will be brought forward to the City Council for a public hearing.
Councilmember Mirsch commented that having been a part of the ad hoc committee and attended many of
the Planning Commission's public forum on this topic, the intent is to include the "acquisition of the
view" portion of Measure B in the new ordinance.
Councilmember Dieringer suggested that in an effort to show good faith, the City either enact language to
immediately address the "acquisition of the view" issue or act to extend the moratorium.
Following discussion, the City Council directed staff to agenize a discussion on the possibility of
extending the moratorium for the City Council's consideration in August.

TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: RAYMOND R. CRUZ, CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION AND APPROVAL OF AN UPDATED
OPERATING POLICY FOR THE CITY -OWNED AUTOMATED
EXTERNAL DEFIBRILLATOR (AED)
DATE: JULY 10, 2017
ATTACHMENTS:
Revised Automated External Defibrillator (AED) Policy
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the proposed updated Automated
External Defibrillator (AED) Policy to properly use and maintain the Defibrillator
located by the main gate.
BACKGROUND
The California Joint Powers Insurance Authority (JPIA) annually assesses the City's risk
in reference to its policies and practices. The JPIA routinely places the City in good
standing and provides minor suggestions to improve. In January 2011, the City Council
adopted an AED Policy together with other policies suggested by the JPIA. In June
2017, the JPIA has revised the AED policy template and the revised policy is before the
City Council for approval.
DISCUSSION
The AED policy establishes the training and standards for the use of automated external
defibrillators (AED) by non -licensed personnel. The modifications proposed to it are not
substantial. The revised policy requires an extra supply kit, back-up battery set and
other supplies and includes detailed Internal Emergency Response System in the event
of a serious medical emergency. The revised policy eliminates the need to additionally
contract with "Medical Director", a physician and surgeon, currently licensed by the
State of California, who provides medical oversight to the City.
FISCAL IMPACT
There will be a small fiscal impact with regard to purchasing an extra supplies and
back-up battery.
NOTIFICATION
The JPIA has been notified that the attached policy will be presented for the City
Council's consideration.
CONCLUSION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the revised AED Policy.

HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
RAYMOND R. CRUZ, CITY MANAGER
CONSIDERATION OF APPROVAL TO REPLACE A DAMAGED
PARKING LOT LIGHT STANDARD
JULY 10, 2017
ATTACHMENTS:
Quotes: Walters Wholesale Electric Co.
CED-Long Beach
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the purchase of a replacement light pole
for the City Hall parking lot from Walters Wholesale Electric Company in an amount of
$3,256.93 plus sales tax and freight.
BACKGROUND
The light pole was damaged and cannot be repaired. Staff contacted the manufacturer and
was advised that the light pole can now only be purchased thru a distributor. Staff
obtained two quotes from two different authorized Sternberg Lighting distributors.
Walters Wholesale Electric Co. quoted $3,256.93 and CED -Long Beach quoted $3,310.00.
The quotes do not include sales tax, freight, installation or conversion to LED.
DISCUSSION
The light poles were originally purchased in 1994. Since then some were either repaired or
replaced. Last time we purchased from Sternberg Lighting in 2011 for $1,692. Currently
the light poles can only be purchased thru a distributor and they claim that prices went up
since 2011. The light poles in the parking lot are not a standard item; they need to be made
to specs to match the height, color and shape of the existing light poles.
In 2014, all sixteen light poles were reworked and converted to LEDs to save energy. The
new light pole will be converted to LED as well.
FISCAL IMPACT
The FY 17/18 includes funds for this purchase and installation and will be paid for from
Contingency account 01-65-985.0.
CONCLUSION
It is recommended the City Council approve the appropriation and authorize the City
Manager to purchase one parking lot light pole from Walters Wholesale Electric Company
at a $3,256.93 plus sales tax and delivery.

COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ROLLING HILLS GRANTING A
MODIFICATION TO A PREVIOUSLY APPROVED PROJECT FOR A
SITE PLAN REVIEW, CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT, AND
VARIANCES FOR GRADING, FOR WALLS OVER 3' IN HEIGHT,
AND WHICH WILL NOT AVERAGE OUT TO 2.5' IN HEIGHT, A
POOL/SPA, TRELLIS, CONSTRUCTION OF AN 800 SQUARE FOOT

FRONT YARD OF THE LOT AND TO EXCEED THE MAXIMUM
PERMITTED DISTURBANCE OF THE LOT IN ZONING CASE NO.
897- MODIFICATION, AT 2 HILLSIDE LANE, (LOT 60-RH), (ELKIN).
RECOMMENDATION, REQUEST AND PLANNING COMMISION ACTION
1. It is recommended that the City Council receive and file this report or provide
other direction to staff.
2. The applicants request an amendment to the previously approved Conditional
Use Permit to construct an 800 square foot recreation room with 174 square foot
attached trellis, rather than the 705 square foot recreation room approved by the
Planning Commission in May 2016, and ratified by the City Council. Additionally, the
applicants propose to construct a 320 square foot water slide into the swimming pool, to
relocate the pool equipment area and to modify the access from the residence to the
pool area from stairs to on grade pavers.
3. The previous approval entailed the following:
ZC No. 897 -Mod
2 Hillside Lane
A Conditional Use Permit for a 705 square foot recreation room, and Variances to locate
all of the accessory structures, including various walls in the front yard area of the lot,
where the walls would not average out to 2.5' in height, and to exceed the maximum
permitted disturbance of the lot, from the existing 48.1% to 64.3%. A Site Plan Review
was approved for the construction of retaining walls and for grading consisting of 4,610
cubic yards of cut and fill for the new building pad and widening of a driveway.
Additionally, 680 sq.ft. swimming pool, 72 sq.ft. spa, 30 sq.ft. outdoor fire place, 75 sq.ft.
barbeque, 423 sq.ft. attached trellises, and 1,450 sq.ft. of pool decking, as well as 800
sq.ft. addition to the residence was also approved. A stable use permit was also granted
to modify the current storage/guest room structure to agricultural uses and to provide
access to the stable.
The request for modification to the size of the recreation room will not affect the limit or
quantity of grading disturbance or any of the other previously approved element of the
project.
4. The Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. 2017-09 approving the project
by 4-0-1 vote, with Chairman Chelf absent and excused. They found that the project is
not in conflict with Rolling Hills regulations and the goals and policies of the general
plan; that the variance to locate the development in the front yard is justified, as the
residence is constructed in the rear of the lot and that in general the lot will not appear
overdeveloped.
The Planning Commission required that a drainage and grading plan be prepared and
submitted to the Building Department, and if required, drainage remediated.
The applicant has already prepared a drainage plan and submitted to the Building
Dept. for review, subject to City Council decision.
BACKGROUND
5. In April 2016 the Planning Commission, following residents' and Commissioners
concerns regarding the location and height of the recreation room and stable and
driveway access, approved a revised project consisting of the above listed elements. For
the approval, the applicants submitted a revised plan showing a reduced size of the
recreation room, reduced height by 2', eliminated a retaining wall below the building
pad, revised the project orientation and provided a better access to the stable.
6. The property is zoned RAS-1 and the gross lot area is 1.97 acres. The net lot area
is 1.45 acres or 63,160 square feet. The existing property was developed primarily
towards the rear of the lot with most of the garage, and a two-story tack house in the
rear setback.
7. The property is currently developed with a 2,450 square foot residence, a 535
square foot garage, a 52 square foot shed, a 96 square foot service yard, and a
previously permitted 751 square foot two story stable/tack house, of which the second
ZC No. 897 -Mod
2 Hillside Lane
story has been converted to a guest house (376 square foot stable on the first story, and
a 375 square foot guest house). As part of the original application process, it is a
requirement that the applicants modify the stable for agricultural uses.
MUNICIPAL CODE COMPLIANCE
8. The lot disturbance, as previously approved with a variance will be 64.3% of the
net lot area and the grading will be 4,610 cubic yards of cut and fill total. The size of the
pool pad will remain the same at 4,300 square feet.
9. The structural coverage on the lot is proposed to be 6,834 square feet or 10.8%;
(previously 6,740 sq.ft. or 10.6%) and the total lot coverage (structures and hardscape)
will be 19,773 square feet or 31.3% (previously 19,697 sq.ft. or 31.08%), both in
compliance with the code.
10. The pool building pad will have coverage of 2,176 square feet or 50.6%, (with
allowed deductions it will be 45.9%), which includes the water slide. As previously
approved, the coverage on the residential building pad will be 4,532 square feet or 28%;
and with the allowed deductions, 4,131 square feet or 25.5%.
11. Rolling Hills Community Association will review this project at a later date
12. The project has been determined to be categorically exempt pursuant to the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), Class 3.
ZC No. 897 -Mod
2 Hillside Lane

RESOLUTION NO. 2017-09
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
ROLLING HILLS GRANTING A MODIFICATION TO A PREVIOUSLY
APPROVED PROJECT FOR A SITE PLAN REVIEW, CONDITIONAL USE
PERMIT, AND VARIANCES FOR GRADING, FOR WALLS OVER 3' IN
HEIGHT, AND WHICH WILL NOT AVERAGE OUT TO 2.5' IN HEIGHT, A
POOL/SPA, TRELLIS, CONSTRUCTION OF AN 800 SQUARE FOOT
RECREATION ROOM, TO LOCATE THE STRUCTURES IN THE FRONT YARD
OF THE LOT AND TO EXCEED THE MAXIMUM PERMITTED DISTURBANCE
OF THE LOT IN ZONING CASE NO. 897- MODIFICATION, AT 2 HILLSIDE
LANE, (LOT 60-RH), (ELKIN).
THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ROLLING HILLS DOES
HEREBY FIND, RESOLVE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. In January 2016 an application was duly filed by Ms. Sarah Elkin
with respect to real property located at 2 Hillside Lane, (Lot 60-RH), Rolling Hills, CA
requesting a Conditional Use Permit for an 705 square foot recreation room, and
Variances to locate all of the accessory structures, including several walls in the front
yard area of the lot, where the walls would not, average out to 2.5' in height, and to
exceed the maximum permitted disturbance of the lot, from the existing 48.1 % to 64.3 %.
A Site Plan Review was also required for the construction of retaining walls, for grading
consisting of 4,610 cubic yards of cut and fill for the new building pad where the
applicant proposed a 680 square foot pool, and a 72 square foot spa along with the
recreation room, a 30 square foot outdoor fire place, a 75 square foot barbecue, a 220
square foot attached trellis, and 1,450 square feet of pool decking. The pool equipment
was to be tucked under the stairs.
The project also entailed modifying an existing legal non -conforming structure,
currently utilized as a guest house to a stable use structure with a loft, and provide a
corral area and access.
Following several public hearings and a field trip the Planning Commission on
May 17, 2016 approved the project by Resolution No. 2016-13 and on June 14, 2016 the
City Council ratified their decision.
Section 2. In April 2017 the property owners submitted a revision to the
previously approved project, which entails construction of an 800 square foot
recreation room with 174 square foot attached trellis and a 322 square foot water slide.
The pool equipment area will be relocated, the outdoor amenities moved around on
the pad and access between the house and the recreation room reconfigured. The
grading, walls and other components of the previous approval will remain the same.
Section 3. The Planning Commission conducted duly noticed public hearings
to consider the application on May 16, 2017 and at a field trip also on May 16, 2017. The
Reso. 2017-09
2 Hillside Lane
applicants were notified of the public hearings 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 public hearings. No neighbors came forward to address the changes.
However, during the previous review proceedings, several neighbors expressed
concerns and attended the site visits. As a result, the driveway was shifted to the east
to maintain the existing line of shrubs that provide screening between 2 and 4 Hillside
and access to the stable was revised to respond to neighbors concerns. Horse access to
the stable will be taken from Saddleback Road and the rubble curbs currently existing
by the corral will be cleared. The access path will range in slope from 10% to 25%. A
vehicular access to the stable will be taken via the existing paved driveway that leads
to the tack room of the stable. As a condition of approval all access areas to the stable
including by the tack room will be required to be decomposed granite or other
pervious material, and all existing concrete around the stable will be removed.
Section 4. The property is zoned RAS-1 and the gross lot area is 1.97 acres.
The net lot area is 1.45 acres or 63,160 square feet. The existing property was
developed primarily towards the rear of the lot with most of the garage, and all of a
small shed, and a two-story tack house in the rear setback. The property is currently
developed with a 2,450 square foot residence, a 535 square foot garage, a 52 square foot
shed, a 96 square foot service yard, and a previously permitted 751 square foot two
story stable/tack house, of which the second story has been converted to a guest
house, (376 square foot stable on the first story, and a 375 square foot guest house). The
applicant is required to convert the guesthouse portion to a stable tack room/storage
use, and the first story to a stable like use with one horse stall. The 52 square foot shed
will be removed.
Section 5. The project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality
Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15303, Class 3 exemption Guidelines.
Section 6. A Site Plan Review is required subject to Section 17.46.020 of the
Zoning Ordinance, in that the proposed recreation room, pool/spa, fireplace, barbecue,
and retaining walls are a structural addition. Further, the grading for these new
structures require Site Plan Review. With respect to the Site Plan Review application
for the recreation room, pool/spa, fireplace, barbecue, walls, and grading, the Planning
Commission makes the following findings of fact:
A. The proposed development is compliant with all requirements of the
Zoning Ordinance except as approved herein for a Variance, and is compatible with
the General Plan and surrounding uses because the proposed project is consistent with
goals and policies that require low profile, low -density residential development with
sufficient open space between surrounding structures. The recreation room, pool/spa,
fireplace, barbecue, and walls will be situated to ensure they are not obtrusive to
Reso.
2 H 2 Hillside Lane
2 (\�
neighbors, will be screened from view, and the pool equipment is located in an area
that will not be intrusive or seen by any neighbor.
B. The development plan substantially preserves the natural and
undeveloped state of the lot because the required grading has been carefully
considered, and the orientation and the location of the structures allows them to be
incorporated into the natural slope on the lot. The construction will not adversely
affect or be materially detrimental to the adjacent uses, buildings, or structures
because the proposed improvements will be constructed 011 a portion of the lot which
is least intrusive to surrounding properties, will be screened and landscaped with
vegetation and is of sufficient distance from nearby residences so that the proposed
project will not impact the view or privacy of surrounding neighbors.
C. The proposed development, as conditioned, is harmonious in scale and
mass with the site, the natural terrain and surrounding residences. The proposed
project is consistent with the scale of homes in the surrounding RA -S-1 similarly zoned
neighborhood. The proposed project entails construction of a recreation room,
pool/spa, fireplace, barbecue and walls for the purpose of enhancing and facilitating
outdoor living on the site, a common residential amenity enjoyed by property owners
throughout the City.
D. The development plan generally follows natural contours of the site to
the maximum extent practicable to accomplish groomed and usable areas of the lot,
subject to concurrent approval of Variances and a Conditional Use Permit pursuant to
Section 7 and 8 of this resolution.
E. Natural drainage courses will not be affected by the project. The project
preserves and integrates into the site design existing topographic features by placing
the new residential addition on a previously constructed pad where little to no grading
will be required. The Pool pad will be located on a previously disturbed area of tiered
planters, and the pool pad will require some grading but it will use retaining walls and
not higher than 2:1 slopes to minimize the impact.
F. The proposed development is sensitive and not detrimental to the
convenience and safety of circulation for pedestrians and vehicles because the existing
driveway is being shifted to the east to respect the existing privacy screen between 2
and 4 Hillside, and the driveway is being widened to 20' to comply with Fire
Department requirements.
Section 7. Sections 17.38.010 through 17.38.050 of the Rolling Hills
Municipal Code permit approval of a Variance granting relief from the standards and
requirements of the Zoning Ordinance when exceptional or extraordinary
circumstances applicable to the property prevent the owner from making use of a
parcel of property to the same extent enjoyed by similar properties in the same
vicinity or zone. In proposing to locate the pool/spa and recreation room and
Reso. 2017-09
2 Hillside Lane 3
1
accessory structures in the front yard area, Variances are required to grant relief from
the following Sections of the Zoning Ordinance: 17.16.200.G.1. (no structures will be
located in the front yard), and 17.16.190.F. (walls must average 2'6"), and 17.16.070
(maximum allowed disturbance) in which case the proposed disturbance area would
exceed the allowed amounts with an increases from 48.12% (legal nonconforming) to
64.28% where 40% maximum disturbance is allowed. With respect to the
aforementioned requests for Variances, the Planning Commission finds as follows:
A. There are exceptional circumstances and conditions on the subject
property as follows:
Regarding the requested variance from Section 17.16.200.G.1. to locate the
proposed structures in the front yard area of the lot, the property was previously
developed mostly at the rear of the lot, with the garage and stable being in the rear
setback. The existing house pad is proposed to be developed with a new residential
addition on the southeast side and due to the 35' clearance required from the stable,
the only other area for a pool/spa is in the front yard which is an amenity enjoyed by
neighbors to the north, east, and west. The proposed structures in the front yard are
all out of setbacks and as far away from Saddleback Road as possible.
Regarding the requested variance from Section 17.16.190F for the walls to
exceed the average of 2'6", the site design is sensitive to the existing topography and
the applicant reduced the number of walls necessary. However, the retaining walls
that remain are necessary to ensure safe construction on the site.
Regarding the requested variance from Section 17.16.070 for disturbance
limits, the project does not meet the maximum disturbance allowed. The existing
disturbance is legal nonconforming at 48.13% and will increase to 64.28%. The
increase in disturbance is due in large part to the revised location of the stable access
from Saddleback Road on a maximum 25% slope.
B. The variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a
substantial property right possessed by other property owners in the same vicinity
and zone but which is denied to the property in question by strict application of the
code. The property right which otherwise would be enjoyed is the ability to utilize a
portion of their front yard with a pool/spa, recreation room, and other structures to
accommodate outdoor recreational use which currently cannot be enjoyed due to the
existing residence being so far towards the rear of the lot. The proposed location of
the entire project - pool/spa, recreation room, fire pit,_ and barbecue are the least
visually intrusive to the property and its neighbors.
C. The granting of the Variance would not be materially detrimental to the
public welfare or injurious to the properties or improvements in such vicinity and
zone in which the property is located in that the proposed pool/spa, deck, recreation
room, fire pit, and barbecue are all unobtrusive. Further, the majority of the
Reso. 2017-09
2 Hillside Lane 4
proposed structures would not be visible from the adjoining street or private
properties and therefore are not expected to result in any visual or privacy impacts.
D. In granting of the Variance the spirit and intent of the Zoning Ordinance
will be observed in that the proposed pool/spa, recreation room, deck, fire pit, and
barbecue construction will be orderly, attractive, legalizes non -conforming uses on the
property, and will not affect the rural character of the community. The subject
proposed structures are in the front of the property and will not impact the stable and
corral area and the proposed development will not impact use of the existing
structures.
E. The Variance request is consistent with the General Plan of the City of
Rolling Hills because the proposed structures comply with the General Plan
requirement of low profile, low -density residential development with sufficient open
space between surrounding structures. The property is located on the hillside above
the nearby properties to the north and the directly adjacent property to the west will
not be able to see the proposed structures and there is large open space between any
structures on subject property to the adjacent property.
F. The Variance is consistent with the portions of the County of Los
Angeles Hazardous Waste Management Plan relating to siting and siting criteria for
hazardous waste facilities.
Section 8. Section 17.16.210(A)(2) of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code
permits approval of a recreation room under certain conditions, provided the Planning
Commission approves a Conditional Use Permit. With respect to this request for a
Conditional Use Permit, the Planning Commission finds as follows:
A. The granting of a Conditional Use Permit for the recreation room would be
consistent with the purposes and objectives of the Zoning Ordinance and General
Plan because the use is consistent with similar uses in the community, meets all the
applicable development standards for a CUP of the Zoning Ordinance and no
deviations from the development standards for a CUP are requested.
B. The nature, condition, and development of adjacent uses, buildings, and
structures have been considered, and the construction of a recreation room will not
adversely affect or be materially detrimental to these adjacent uses, buildings, or
structures because the project is of sufficient distance from nearby residences so that
the structure will not impact the view or privacy of surrounding neighbors.
C. The project is harmonious in scale and mass with'the site, the natural terrain,
and surrounding residences because it complies with the low profile residential
development pattern of the community, and will be screened from neighbors' view.
Reso. 2017-09
2 Hillside Lane 5
D. The proposed conditional use complies with all applicable development
standards of the zone district because the 800 square foot size of the recreation room
does not exceed the maximum permitted under the Municipal Code and it does not
encroach into any setback areas.
E. The proposed conditional use is consistent with the portions of the Los
Angeles County Hazardous Waste Management Plan relating to siting criteria for
hazardous waste facilities because the project site is not listed on the current State of
California Hazardous Waste and Substances Sites List.
Section 8. Based upon the foregoing findings, the Planning Commission
hereby approves the Site Plan Review, Variances, and Conditional Use Permit in
Zoning Case No. 897 -Modification for a new pool/spa, recreation room, deck, pool
equipment, fireplace, barbecue, and walls; grading for the proposed project; to locate
the structures in the front yard; to exceed the maximum permitted disturbance of the
lot; and to retain and legalize a previously constructed tack house by converting it .
into a stable, subject to the following conditions:
A. The Site Plan, Variances, and Conditional Use Permit approval shall
expire within two years from the effective date of approval if construction pursuant to
this approval has not commenced within that time period, as required by Sections
17.46.080, 17.42.070 and 17.38.070 of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code, or the approval
granted is otherwise extended pursuant to the requirements of those sections.
B. If any condition of this resolution is violated, the entitlement
granted by this resolution shall be suspended and the privileges granted
hereunder shall lapse and upon receipt of written notice from the City, all
construction work being performed on the subject property shall immediately

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROLLING HILLS
APPROVING A REQUEST FOR A SITE PLAN REVIEW FOR GRADING AND
CONSTRUCTION OF A NEW RESIDENTIAL ADDITION WITH BASEMENT,
GARAGES, COVERED PORCHES, SWIMMING POOL WITH A SPA, RETAINING

GRADING LIMITS FOR A SPORTS COURT, AND ANY RELATED IMPROVEMENTS
IN ZONING CASE NO. 917 AT 5 PINE TREE LANE, LOT 94-RH, (SHARNG).
THE CITY COUNCIL DOES HEREBY FIND, RESOLVE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. An application was duly filed by Lauren Sharng with respect to real property
located at 5 Pine Tree Lane, Rolling Hills (Lot 94-RH) requesting a Site Plan Review for the
remodeling of a 4,340 square foot existing residence with construction of 2,065 square feet of a new
residential addition for a combined total 6,405 square foot residence and 31,920 cubic yards of overall
grading. The residence is proposed to have 1,380 square feet of covered porches, a new 1,100 square
foot detached garage, a new 2,065 square foot basement (at a maximum depth of 16 feet), a 96 square
foot service yard and 60 square foot enclosed space for pool equipment. Also proposed are a 325 square
foot Porte cochere, a 700 square foot swimming pool and spa, and exterior features including two decks,
a covered entry, trellis over a patio near the tennis court, a pool deck, and other minor amenities. A
Conditional Use Permit is requested for the construction of a 1,200 square foot one-story stable with
640 square feet of covered porches, a 9,150 square foot corral, a new second driveway located north of
the existing driveway leading to the new detached garage, and a 7,000 square foot tennis court. A
Variance is requested to exceed the maximum permitted 40% disturbance of the lot resulting from
general grading for the proposed project and to grade more than the maximum permitted 750 cubic yards
of dirt and over 10,000 square feet surface area for the tennis court. The applicant is proposing a total
overall disturbance of 46.12%. The grading for the proposed tennis court will require 2,095 c.y. of cut
and fill and 13,000 square feet of surface area alteration.
Section 2. The applicants also request a Site Plan Review for excavation and grading related
to the proposed project. Grading of a total of 31,920 cubic yards of dirt (8,460 c.y. cut and 7,610 c.y. fill;
and 7,500 c.y. over -excavation and 7,500 c.y. recompaction) with no dirt to be exported is requested.
Section 3. The Planning Commission conducted duly noticed public hearings held on
February 21, 2017, in the field, and continued the meeting to the evening meeting, and on March 21,
2017 and April 18, 2017.
Neighbors within 1,000 -foot radius were notified of the public hearings and a notice was published in
the Peninsula News on February 9, 2017. The applicants and their agents were notified of the public
hearings in writing by first class mail and the applicants and agents were in attendance at the hearings
evidence was heard and presented from all person interested in affecting said proposal, and from
members of the City staff.
The City Council at the May 8, 2017 meeting, took the project under jurisdiction, and scheduled a public
hearing for May 30, 2017.
Resolution No. 1213
5 Pine Tree Lane
Section 4. The City Council conducted duly noticed public hearings to consider the
application on May 30, 2017, in the field and at their regularly scheduled meeting, on June 26, 2017.
Neighbors within 1,000 -foot radius were notified of the public hearings and a notice was published in
Palos Verdes Peninsula News on May 18, 2017. The applicants were notified of the public hearings 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, neighbors and applicant's engineer and attorney and
the City Council having reviewed, analyzed and studied said proposal.
At the public hearings there was discussion regarding how the residential addition would be attached
and the feasibility of vacating some or all of the existing driveway on the southerly side of the property.
Section 5. The City Council finds that the project is exempt from the California Environmental
Quality Act, (CEQA) pursuant to Class 3, Section 15303 (new construction of single family residence
and accessory structures) of the CEQA guidelines.
Section 6. Site Plan Review -Proposed Development. Section 17.46.030 requires a
development plan to be submitted for Site Plan Review and approval before any grading requiring a
grading permit or any new building or structure may be constructed or any expansion, addition,
alteration or repair to existing buildings may be made. The grading for the development and the new
structures require Site Plan Review.
With respect to the Plans submitted for the development, the City Council hereby approves the
request for Site Plan Review in Zoning Case No. 917 to build the proposed project and makes the
following findings:
A. The proposed development is compatible with the General Plan, the Zoning Ordinance
and surrounding uses because the proposed structures comply with the General Plan requirement of low
profile, low -density residential development with sufficient open space between surrounding structures
and maintaining sufficient setbacks to provide buffers between residential uses. The net lot area of the
property is over 4 acres and the lot is adjacent to other large lots along Pine Tree Lane. The stable and
corral promote the rural, equestrian character of Rolling Hills. None of the proposed new structures are
in setbacks.
The project conforms to Zoning Code lot coverage requirements. The net lot area of the property is
187,196 square feet. The structural net lot coverage is proposed at 18,671 square feet or 10.0%, which
includes all of the structures, with allowance for permitted deductions, (20% max. permitted); and the
total lot coverage proposed, including the driveway would be 32,386 square feet or 17.3%, (35% max.
permitted). The disturbed area of the lot is proposed to be 46.12% which requires a variance.
B. The project substantially preserves the natural and undeveloped state of the lot by
minimizing building coverage. The topography and the configuration of the lot have been considered,
and it was determined that the proposed development will not adversely affect or be materially
detrimental to adjacent uses, buildings, or structures, because the proposed location of structures on the
lot will be the least intrusive to surrounding properties, will be screened and landscaped with trees and
shrubs, and is of sufficient distance from nearby residences so that it will not impact the view or privacy
of surrounding neighbors, and will allow the owners to enjoy their property without deleterious
infringement on the rights of surrounding property owners.
Resolution No. 1213
5 Pine Tree Lane -2-
(g.
The project promotes equestrian uses, therefore, furthering the City's goal to remain an equestrian
community.
C. The proposed development, is harmonious in scale and mass with the site, and is
consistent with the scale of the neighborhood when compared to new residences in the vicinity of said
lot. The development plan takes into consideration the visibility from Pine Tree Lane and the
development will be sunk and moved back from the roadway easement, so that visibility from the road
will be minimized. The slopes being created were lengthened to reduce the steepness.
Significant portions of the lot will be left undeveloped. The project will be screened from the road and
all neighbors with landscaping.
D. The development plan will introduce additional landscaping, which is compatible with
and enhances the rural character of the community, and the landscaping will provide a buffer or
transition area between private and public areas.
E. The proposed development is sensitive and not detrimental to the convenience and safety
of circulation for pedestrians and vehicles because the new second driveway apron is located an
adequate distance to provide sufficient line of sight for drivers on Pine Tree Lane. There is ample
parking in the garages and there is a proposed parking area for guests along the side of the new driveway
so all visitor parking will be contained on site. An adequate pathway to the stable and corral area is
proposed to safely accommodate horses, feed, and supplies.
Section 7 — Conditional Use Permits. Sections 17.18.060 and 17.18.090 of the Rolling Hills
Municipal Code permit approval of a stable over 200 square feet and corral over 550 square feet with a
Conditional Use Permit. The proposed 1,200 square foot stable and 9,150 square foot corral comply with
all requirements of these sections. A 7,000 square foot tennis court is proposed. Section 17.16.210(A)(7)
of the Zoning Ordinance contains conditions for a recreational game court, subject to approval of a
conditional use permit. A second driveway is proposed. Section 17.16.210(A)(1) of the Zoning
Ordinance contains conditions for a second driveway. A 1,100 square foot detached garage is proposed.
Section 17.16.210(A)(4) of the Zoning Ordinance contains conditions for detached garages. All of the
detached structures comply with the provisions and conditions for such structures barring those with
variances. With respect to this request for Conditional Use Permits, the City Council fmds as follows:
A. Conditionally permitted uses are not outright permitted by the Rolling Hills Municipal
Code. The City Council must consider applications for a Conditional Use Permit and may, with such
conditions as are deemed necessary, approve a conditional use which will not jeopardize, adversely
affect, endanger or to otherwise constitute a menace to the public health, safety or general welfare or be
materially detrimental to the property of other persons located in the vicinity of such use.
B. The granting of a Conditional Use Permit for the stable and corral, tennis court, second
driveway, and detached garage would be consistent with the purposes and objectives of the Zoning
Ordinance and General Plan because the uses are consistent with similar uses in the community, and
meet all the applicable code development standards for such uses, barring those needing a variance, and
they are located in the areas on the property that are adequately sized to accommodate such uses. The
proposed uses are appropriately located in that they will be sufficiently separated from nearby structures
used for habitation or containing sleeping quarters. The stable/corral would be constructed in furtherance
of the General Plan goal of promoting and encouraging equestrian uses. The proposed tennis court is a
common amenity to Rolling Hills.
Resolution No. 1213
5 Pine Tree Lane -3-
C. The nature, condition, and development of adjacent structures have been considered, and
the project will not adversely affect or be materially detrimental to these adjacent uses, buildings, or
structures because the proposed uses (stable/corral, tennis court, second driveway, and detached garage)
are located mostly in the middle of a 4 acre lot and their general location is of sufficient distance from
nearby residences so as to not impact the view or privacy of surrounding neighbors. The proposed stable
is to be located adjacent to the corral and a path designated for equestrian uses that runs from the stable
to the road is separate from the other outdoor living areas on the property and will be comprised of
decomposed granite. The tennis court is partially recessed into the slope to reduce visibility and assist
with noise attenuation. The detached garage will not be visible from the street. The second driveway
matches the terrain.
D. The project is harmonious in scale and mass with the site, the natural terrain, and
surrounding residences because the proposed uses comply with the low profile residential development
pattern of the community and will not give the property an over -built look, and areas will remain open
and unobstructed. The lot is 4 acres net in size and is sufficiently large to accommodate the proposed
uses.
The stable will be compatible with the uses in the surrounding area because Rolling Hills is an
equestrian community and stables are encouraged. The stable will look like a stable and with the corral
will promote open space on the pad.
The detached garage will be compatible with the uses in the surrounding area because it will have the
same architectural design as the house and is behind the house. The tennis court and second driveway
are amenities other residences in Rolling Hills enjoy.
E. The proposed conditional uses comply with all applicable development standards of the
zone district and requires Conditional Use Permits pursuant to Sections 17.18.060, 17.18.090,
17.16.210(A)(1)(4)and(7) of the Zoning Ordinance.
F. The proposed conditional uses are consistent with the portions of the Los Angeles County
Hazardous Waste Management Plan relating to siting criteria for hazardous waste facilities because the
project site is not listed on the current State of California Hazardous Waste and Substances Sites List.
Section 8. - Variances. Sections 17.38.010 through 17.38.050 of the Rolling Hills Municipal
Code permit approval of a Variance from the standards and requirements of the Zoning Ordinance when
exceptional or extraordinary circumstances applicable to the property and not applicable to other similar
properties in the same zone prevent the owner from making use of a parcel of property to the same
extent enjoyed by similar properties in the same vicinity. Section 17.16.210 (A)(7) of the Zoning
Ordinance contains conditions for a recreational game court, subject to approval of a conditional use
permit. The applicant is requesting permission to grade more than the allowable 750 cubic yards by
grading 2,095 cubic yards and exceed the allowable 10,000 square feet of surface grading by grading a
surface area of 13,000 square feet in order to construct the tennis court. All of the detached structures
comply with the provisions and conditions for such structures except those stipulated in Sections
17.16.210(h) and (i). With respect to this request for Variances, the City Council finds as follows:
A. There are exceptional and extraordinary circumstances and conditions applicable to the
property or to the intended use that do not apply generally to the other property or class of use in the
same zone because the existing lot, despite it being just under 5 acres gross, has approximately half of its
Resolution No. 1213
5 Pine Tree Lane -4- g
overall area at a slope of 2:1 or steeper and the remainder undulated and hilly and the lot requires
grading in order to create a sufficient flat area to construct the house and accessory structures. The
existing building pad could only support a residential addition by removing the existing pool. The tennis
court pad needed to be created and access to the residential unit provided by the second driveway helps
to screen the tennis court as it is partially sunken into the hillside. There is a drainage course along the
western property line, which must also be avoided. In order to generate the dirt needed for the pad, it
was necessary to drop the stable and corral pad.
B. The Variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property
right possessed by other property in the same vicinity and zone, which would be denied to the property
in question absent a variance, because the site is sloped in nature so in order to provide pads that meet
the development standards, additional grading is required and it was necessary to push the limits of
grading farther out than if the lot did not have as much slope to it. The overage is not significant and the
property owner should not be denied the privilege of a new house addition and amenities because the
topographic nature of the lot makes it infeasible to comply strictly with Sections 17.16.170 and
17.16.210.
The exceedance of the disturbance is due in large part to the need for residential pad creation.
There were no concerns voiced by residents and the Planning Commissioners during the public hearing
considered alternatives during the field visit to the site but believed the proposed plan was caused the
least impact to the area after further consideration of project alternatives.
C. The granting of the Variance would not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or
injurious to the property or improvements in such vicinity and zone in which the property is located. A
minor increase in the overall percentage of disturbed area on the lot will have no effect on the public
welfare or on property or improvements in the vicinity and the walls which exceed 2.5' average in
height are not in any setbacks and will not cause any line of sight issues on Pine Tree Lane due to the
rows of existing trees currently in the vicinity.
D. The variance does not grant special privileges to the applicant. To the contrary, absent a
variance, the property owner would be deprived of the same rights and privileges afforded to other
property owners in the vicinity. Unique circumstances applicable to the subject property make it
infeasible for the property owner to comply with Section 17.16.070. The minor overage requested will
allow the property owner to enjoy the same rights and privileges afforded to many other properties in the
vicinity and zone.
E. The variance is consistent with the portions of the County of Los Angeles Hazardous
Waste Management Plan relating to siting and siting criteria for hazardous waste facilities.
F. The variance request is consistent with the General Plan. The proposed project, together
with the variance, will be compatible with the objectives, policies, general land uses and programs
specified in the General Plan and will uphold the City's goals to protect and promote construction that is
rural in nature.
Section 9. Based upon the foregoing findings, and the evidence in the record, the City Council
hereby approves Zoning Case No. 917 request for the remodeling of a 4,340 square foot existing
residence with construction of 2,065 square feet of a new residential addition for a combined total 6,405
square foot residence and 31,920 cubic yards of overall grading. The residence is proposed to have
1,380 square feet of covered porches, a new 1,100 square foot detached garage, a new 2,065 square foot

CONSIDERATION OF A PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT
WITH JOHN HUNTER AND ASSOCIATES FOR MONITORING AND
REPORTING FOR THE MACHADO LAKE TRASH TMDL AND
SANTA MONICA BAY MARINE TRASH TMDL AND SUBMITTAL
OF REQUIRED INVESTIGATION REPORTS TO THE RWQCB.
JULY 10, 2017

John Hunter & Associates proposal, with Attachments
Professional Services Agreement
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council enter into an agreement with John Hunter and
Associates, an environmental consultant for three years to monitor and report on trash
collected at the designated canyons discharge locations to Machado Lake and Santa
Monica Bay as identified and required by the City's Monitoring and Reporting Plan,
and prepare and submit annually the Non-Stormwater Canyon Source Investigation
Report and; authorize the City Manager to execute all appropriate documents.
BACKGROUND
On June 7, 2007 the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB)
adopted an amendment to the Water Quality Control Plan for the Los Angeles Region
(also known as the Basin Plan) incorporating a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) for
trash in Machado Lake. The order became effective on March 6, 2008.
C�
ft
The numeric target of the Machado Lake Trash TMDL is zero trash in Machado Lake
within 8 years of the order. The Trash TMDL requires jurisdictions to implement
practices, which would lead to meeting that goal. In compliance with the RWQCB's
requirements, the City of Rolling Hills received approval of its monitoring plan and, for
the past seven years, through an agreement with John Hunter and Associates, has
collected and reported on trash collected in the canyons and discharge locations that
drain to Machado Lake.
In December 2011, City staff sent a letter to the RWQCB requesting to be relieved of the
responsibility for trash collection and reporting based on the fact the amount of trash
collected has been negligible. In response, in a letter in March 2012, the RWQCB stated
that the City must continue twice -a -year screening and collection plus after a major
storm event. This was a reduction in the number of monitoring events that was required
prior to 2011.
Following the 2012 approval of the frequency of monitoring, it was staff's intent, after
having consulted with the City Attorney and the City's environmental consultant, to
submit a second request to be relieved of this requirement. However, since that time
new requirements were adopted where the City is required to monitor and report on
canyons and discharge locations for trash discharges to Santa Monica Bay as well as
Machado Lake and so additional monitoring and reporting was required to
demonstrate that there is little or no discharge to Santa Monica Bay. In a letter
submitted to the RWQCB, we informed them that the amount of trash collected that
would discharge to Machado Lake is representative of what is discharged to the Santa
Monica Bay as well. The RWQCB acknowledged receipt of the letter but has not
otherwise responded to the request to use the Machado Lake data as representative of
discharge to the Santa Monica Bay. The Regional Board in its letter of March 5, 2012
does reference that the City is using this data for both Machado Lake and Santa Monica
Bay, so staff and the consultant has interpreted it to imply consent. In addition, the
annual report submitted in December refers to City using data from Machado Lake
monitoring areas for the Santa Monica Bay monitoring and reporting, and the RWQCB
has not negatively commented. In a recent public workshop on the Statewide trash
policy, Regional Board staff acknowledged the City's request to cease monitoring but
have not yet authorized a cessation in monitoring.
DISCUSSION
In 2008, the City entered into an agreement with John Hunter and Associates for
preparation of its Machado Lake Trash TMDL Monitoring and Reporting Plan and,
thereafter, worked with the firm for approximately two and a half years for the collection,
evaluation and reporting of trash. In 2008, John Hunter and Associates was selected after
receiving quotes from three firms; John Hunter and Associates was the least expensive
and most familiar with Rolling Hills. They serve as the storm water consultant for the
City of Rancho Palos Verdes and many other cities, and represent all the Peninsula cities
as a subregion to the RWQCB.
A second contract was awarded to John Hunter and Associates in 2012 and the contract,
with an extension expired in December 2016. Based on their familiarity with the City, the
infrequency of collections (two collections plus after major storm event) and their
consistent low costs, as well as the comprehensive reports that were submitted and well
received by the RWQCB, John Hunter and Associates is recommended for approval.
The proposed agreement will be on time and materials basis with the cost not to exceed
the contract amount of $9,421.50 for each of the next three years without prior City
authorization. The agreement is for monitoring, evaluation and reporting of trash at the
discharge point of seven (7) canyons twice a year and after one major storm event, for
Machado Lake Trash TMDL and reporting for the Santa Monica Bay Marine Trash
TMDL and submittal of the Non-Stormwater Canyon Source Investigation report. In
December of every year an annual report must be filed with the RWQCB reporting on
the findings of that year. The agreement also calls for the City Manager to be able to
extend the agreement for one-year.
FISCAL IMPACT
The 2017/18 fiscal year budget includes sufficient funds in the Storm Water
Management line item for John Hunter and Associates.
The firm meets all of the City's insurance requirements and is qualified to continue
monitoring, evaluating and reporting to the RWQCB.
NOTIFICATION
Mr. John Hunter has been notified that this item will be considered by the City Council
at its meeting of July 10, 2017 and he or a representative from his office will be present
to answer questions.
CONCLUSION
A consultant is needed to collect, evaluate and report on trash for the Machado Lake
Trash TMDL and for the Santa Monica Bay Trash TMDL and, it is recommended that
the City Council approve a 3 year professional services agreement with John Hunter
and Associates, directing the City Manager to sign all documents.

SUBJECT: Gty of Rolling Hills Trash Monitoring and Reporting Plan for the Machado Lake Trash TMDL
(Resolution' No. R4-2007-006), Monitoring and Reporting for the Santa Monica Say Marine Debris
TMDI, and Submittal of the Non-Stormwater Canyon Source Investigation Report
Dear Ms. Schwartz,
On March 6, 2008, the Machado Lake Trash Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL), Resolution No. R4-2007-
006, became effective regulating trash discharge in the Machado Lake watershed. To fulfill the
requirements of this TMDL, the City of Rolling Hills implemented a Trash Monitoring and Reporting Plan
(TMRP), including a Minimum Frequency Assessment and Collection (MFAC) Program that consisted of
quarterly canyon monitoring for the first two years, and immediately following the first major storm
event of the year.
On March 5, 2012, the Regional Board responded to the City's presentation of monitoring data and
request to be removed from the monitoring requirements of the Machado Lake Trash TMDL and Santa
Monica Bay Marine Debris TMDL with a letter stating that the City of Rolling Hilts remains a responsible
party in the TMDLs, and therefore must continue monitoring in order to demonstrate compliance
(Attachment A). The Regional Board, however, did allow for a decrease in the frequency of monitoring
from quarterly events to twice a year and immediately following the first major storm event of the year.
The City is also still required to submit annual TMDL reports. Since the City has not received permission
to cease trash monitoring, John L Hunter and Associates (JLHA) proposes the City continue to
implement the revised monitoring plan and submit annual reports to the Regional Board.
Additionally, per the 2012 Municipal Separate Sewer System (M54) Permit' (Permit), the City Is required
to develop and implement a Monitoring and Reporting Program (MRP). Since the City chose not to
participate in an Enhanced Watershed Management Plan (EWMP), the City is required to develop an
integrated monitoring plan addressing any monitoring requirements that will not be addressed by the
I Order No. R4-2012-0175 NPDES Permit No. CAS004001 Waste Discharge Requirements for Municipal Separate Storm Sewer
System (MS4) Discharges within the Coastal Watersheds of Los Angeles County, except those Discharges Originating from the
My of Long Beach MS4.

Plan, which provides a detailed approach to screening and identifying significant non-stormwater
discharges from the City of Rolling Hills. JLHA has completed the screening and monitoring tasks of the
Plan and prepared a draft report.
JLHA's current contract with the City of Rolling Hills expired in December 2026, and will require an
extension in order to continue the Machado Lake Trash TMDL MRP and finalize the report for submittal
of the NSW Screening and Monitoring report to the Regional Board. This proposal is for a three-year
extension at current cost plus a 1O% contingency for additional tasks the City may request from JLHA, as
shown in Attachment B.

SUBJECT: City of Rolling Hills Trash Monitoring and Reporting Plan for the
Machado Lake Trash Total Maximum Daily Load, Resolution No. R4-2007-006
Dear Mr. Dahlerbruch: .
Edmund G. Brown Jr.
Governor
The Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board -(Regional Board) adopted the
Machado Lake Trash Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL), Resolution number R4-2007-
-006 on June 7, 2007. This TMDL was subsequently approved by the. State Water
Resources Control Board on December 4, 2007, Office of Administrative Law on
February 8, 2008, and the United States Environmental Protection Agency on February
27, 2008.
As one of the requirements of this Trash TMDL, responsible jurisdictions must develop
and implement a Trash Monitoring and Reporting Plan (TMRP). The City of Rolling -.
Hills has been implementing an Executive Officer approved TMRP, which was originally
submitted on September 2, 2008. The TMRP includes a requirement to monitor seven
drainage canyon outlets on a quarterly basisfor the first two years, and immediately
following the first major storm event of the year. In addition, the City of Rolling Hills has
submitted annual reports, as required.
On December7, 2011, the Regional Board received an annual report -and letter from
the City of Rolling Hills requesting that the Regional Board remove the City of Rolling
Hills' monitoring requirements for the Machado Lake Trash TMDL and the Santa
Monica Bay Marine Debris TMDL, based on the monitoring data collected. As the City
of Rolling Hills maintains land in the Dominguez Channel and Santa Monica Bay
watersheds, they area responsible jurisdiction in both the Machado Lake Trash and
Santa Monica Bay Marine Debris TMDLs: :As such, the City of Rolling Hills must show
compliance with these TMDLs, and therefore continue with the associated monitoring

requirements. However, based on the information and data provided in the annual
report and letter received on December 7, 2011, the Regional Board finds that reducing
the monitoring frequency is warranted in the Machado Lake watershed. In order.to
ensure that trash does not accumulate in deleterious amounts between collection
events, the Regional Board finds it adequate for the City of Rolling Hills to monitor twice
per year, and immediately following the first major storm event of the year.
The Regional Board appreciates the efforts put forth by the City of Rolling Hills to'
improve water quality and protect the beneficial uses of Machado Lake and -Santa
Monica Bay. If you have any questions, please contact Stefanie Hada at (213) 576-

Samuel Unger
