589, Construct a new SFR with garag, Staff ReportsNOVEMBER 14, 2001 MEMO TO FILE: RE: 91 CREST ROAD, MR. RIPLEY ZC NO.589 The Planning Commission on 1/19/99 approved ZC NO. 589 by Resolution No. 99-3. On 6/6/01 the applicant's representative submitted a revised site plan reducing the size of the house from 7,910 sq.ft. and 1,600 sq.ft. garage to 5,430-sq. ft. house and 1,212-sq. ft. garage. This request was approved by staff as a minor modification as the modification consisted of a decrease in the structure and all other related coverage. In addition, due to an unforeseen condition of the lot, the grading quantities will need to be increased from the previously approved 650 cubic yards to 790 cubic yards, which will be balanced on site. The grading quantities were also approved administratively. On 11/6/01 the applicant's representative requested another modification to move the house approximately 35 feet to the south of original approval. City Manager requested that the area of the new location be staked. During the course of the staking, the applicant realized that much more grading would be required to move the house 35 feet. Therefore the applicant requested to move the house 17 feet to the south from the original approval. City Manager and Planner inspected the stakes and required that the applicant/representative inform the next door neighbor of this change and get their approval. On 11/08/01 staff received a phone call from Mrs. Steinberg stating that she and her husband do not object to the relocation of the house at 91 Crest Road. A written approval from Mr. and Mrs. Steinberg was received on 11/13/01. Staff requested new calculations for lot disturbance and grading quantities for the change in the location of the house. Bolton Engineering recalculated the disturbed area and the grading quantities. The disturbed area of the lot will be 34.5% (which was verified by YS), and the grading quantity increased to 980 cubic yards. Originally, the grading quantity was proposed to be increased to 1,320 cubic yards. The City Manager requested that that number be brought down, otherwise staff would not be able to consider this change as minor modification, and the case would have to go back to the Commission for Modification of the Site Plan. The applicant's representative was able to cut down the grading to 980 cubic yards, by providing a crawl space underneath part of the house (NOT A BASEMENT), instead of cutting and filling the natural lower area. of the lot. On 11/14/01 staff administratively approved the changes as follows: move the house 17 feet in the southerly direction and grading quantities of 980 cubic yards of cut and 980 cubic yards of fill.

THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ROLLING HILLS DOES HEREBY FIND, RESOLVE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS: fiction 1. An application was duly filed by Mr. and Mrs. Fred Ripley with respect to real property located at 91 Crest Road East (Lot 69-B-MS) requesting Site Plan Review to permit the construction of a new single family residence to replace an existing single family residence. Section 2. The Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public hearing to consider the application on November 17, 1998, December 15, 1998, and January 19, 1999 at a field trip visit on December 12, 1998. The applicants were notified of the hearing in writing by first class mail. The applicants and the applicants' representatives were in attendance at the hearings. Section 3. The Planning Commission finds that the project qualifies as a Class 2 Exemption [State CA Guidelines, Section 15302] and is therefore categorically exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act. Section 4. Section 17.46.020 requires a development plan to be submitted for site plan review and approval before any building or structure may be constructed or any expansion, addition, alteration or repair to existing buildings or structures, which involve changes to grading or an increase in the size of the building or structure by at least 1,000 square feet and has the effect of increasing the size of the building or structure by more than twenty-five percent (25%) in any thirty-six month period, may be permitted. With respect to the Site Plan Review application, the Planning Commission makes the following findings of fact: A. The proposed development, as modified by the conditions of approval, is compatible with the General Plan, the Zoning Ordinance and surrounding uses because the proposed structure complies with the General Plan requirement of low profile, low density residential development with sufficient open space between surrounding structures. The project conforms to Zoning Code setback, and lot coverage requirements. The lot has a net square foot area of 147,610 square feet. The proposed residence (7,910 sq. ft.), garage (1,600 sq. ft.), future stable (450 sq. ft.), and service yard (100 sq. ft.) will have 10,060 square feet which constitutes 6.8% of the lot which is within the maximum 20% structural lot coverage requirement. The total lot coverage including paved areas and driveway will be 28,697 square feet which RESOLUTION NO. 99-3 PAGE 1 OF 4 • • equals 19.4% of the lot, which is within the 35% maximum overall lot coverage requirement. B. The proposed development, as modified by the conditions of approval, preserves and integrates into the site design, to the maximum extent feasible, existing natural topographic features of the lot including surrounding native vegetation, mature trees, drainage courses, and land forms because a minimum amount of grading is proposed and will only be done to provide approved drainage that will flow away from the proposed residential development and existing neighboring residences. C. The development plan, as modified by the conditions of approval, follows natural contours of the relatively flat site to minimize grading. The natural drainage courses will be preserved and continue drainage to the canyons at the southern side of this lot. D. The development plan will, based upon compliance with the conditions contained in this Resolution, supplement the existing vegetation with landscaping that is compatible with and enhances the rural character of the community. E. The development plan, as modified by the conditions of approval, substantially preserves the natural and undeveloped state of the lot by minimizing building coverage because the new structures will not cause the structural and total lot coverage to be exceeded. Further, the proposed project will have a total buildable pad of 69,450 square feet with 14.5% of pad coverage. F. The proposed development, as modified by the conditions of approval, is harmonious in scale and mass with the site, the natural terrain and surrounding residences. As indicated in Paragraph A, the lot coverage maximum will not be exceeded. The proposed project will be located on a relatively flat portion of a steep sloping lot that is also consistent with the scale of other homes in the immediate neighborhood. Grading will be minor and required only to restore the natural slope of the property. The ratio of the proposed structures to lot coverage is similar to the ratio found on several properties in the vicinity. G. The proposed development, as modified by the conditions of approval, is sensitive and not detrimental to convenience and safety of circulation for pedestrians and vehicles because the proposed project will provide a safer driveway accessway. H. The project conforms with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act and is categorically exempt from environmental review. RESOLUTION NO. 99-3 PAGE 2 OF 4 • • Section 7.
