Re: Gas Meter
To Whom It May Concern:
I would like the City to release the hold on the installation of the gas meter. The gas is required
for us to test the boiler and radiant heating system and the power generator.
Additionally, our current landlord wants us out by end of November; otherwise, he wants
another year of lease. Therefore, we would like to occupy the guest house, which is completed,
for next sixty days.
We understand that this release does not constitute a final approval.
The current time line shows that the inside of the house will be completed within three weeks.
Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
Best regards,
Peter Huh

On Friday, February 19 we received a copy of a landscaping plan prepared by
Ric Dykzeul, dated February 12, 2010. The landscaping plan is inadequate due to
the following:
1. Delineate all easements (not necessarily along the three rail fences) and
submit revised plan.
2. All landscaping and architectural features, such as rock walls and seating
benches within the easements must be reviewed and approved by the Rolling
Hills Community Association.
3. The area in front of the residence marked on the plan as "Motor Court" to
be paved with "exposed aggregate concrete" MUST REMAIN LANDSCAPED
NOT PAVED. Pursuant to Resolution No. 2005-29, condition "0" (enclosed), this
area must remain unpaved and undisturbed.
4. No trees or shrubs shall be planted so that at maturity will result in a
hedge like screen.
Please submit revised plan addressing these concerns. If you have any questions,
please don't hesitate to contact me at 310 377-1521.

A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY
OF ROLLING HILLS GRANTING APPROVAL FOR A SITE PLAN
REVIEW FOR GRADING AND A VARIANCE TO EXCEED THE
MAXIMUM PERMITTED DISTURBED NET LOT AREA, A
MODIFICATION TO A PREVIOUSLY APPROVED APPLICATION IN
ZONING CASE NO. 712, ADOPTED BY RESOLUTION NO. 2005-29
AT 1 CREST ROAD EAST (LOT 1-FT), (HUH).
THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ROLLING HILLS DOES
HEREBY FIND, RESOLVE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. An application was duly filed by Mr. and Mrs. Peter Huh with
respect to real property located at 1 Crest Road East (Lot 1-FT), Rolling Hills, CA
requesting a modification to previously approved grading quantities and lot disturbance
granted in 2005 in an application for a Site Plan Review and Conditional Use Permit for
grading and construction of a substantial addition, swimming pool and a guest house in
Zoning Case No. 712. The request for modification is to permit the as graded condition
on the lot to remain, (912 cubic yards of cut and 912 cubic yards of fill), which caused
exceedance of the maximum allowed disturbance of the lot (54.2%), which requires a
Variance.
Section 2. The Planning Commission conducted duly noticed public hearings
to consider the application on February 17, 2009, March 17, 2009 and at a field trip visit
on March 10, 2009. 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, Los Angeles County staff and the Planning
Commission having reviewed, analyzed and studied said proposal. The property owners
and their representatives were in attendance at the hearings.
Section 3. In September 2005, the Planning Commission approved a Site Plan
Review application for grading of 445 cubic yards of cut and 445 cubic yards of fill,
which included grading for a future stable, a 2,969 square foot addition to an existing
residence and garage, a 976 square foot basement, a 583 square foot swimming pool and
a Conditional Use Permit for a 744 square foot guest house. The disturbed net lot area for
this project was approved at 36.9%.
The house addition is under construction and the rough grading is completed. During the
construction process staff administratively approved additional 129 square foot addition
and reduction in the basement to 765 square feet, as well as relocation of the guest house
approximately 8 feet back (south) from the previous approval. One of the reasons for
moving the guest house was to save two mature trees on the property.

MODIFICATION TO A PREVIOUSLY APPROVED APPLICATION IN

TIIE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ROLLING I -TILLS DOES

Section 1. An application was duly filed by Mr. and Mrs. Peter Huh with

exceedance of the maximum allowed disturbance of the lot (54.2%), which requires a

approximately 8 feet back (south) from the previous approval. One of the reasons for
moving the guest house was to save two mature trees on the property.
ZC NO. 712 MOD. 1
• •
The administratively approved modifications did not affect the previously approved
coverage of the lot, grading quantities or changed the configuration of the structures, and
were deemed minor by staff.
According to the property owners and their representatives, during the grading process,
the owners expressed desire to amend the grading of their lot to create a less tiered Iook,
which they felt did not meet their aesthetic values or the City of Rolling Hills' goal to
retain to the maximum extent practicable the natural topography of the property. They
wanted to achieve a larger back yard with less terracing of the land. The property owners
also decided not to construct the swimming pool and the deck off of the pool.
With those changes, the contractor proposed gentler slopes with a less tiered
configuration of the rear yard area, but which required more dirt and additional
disturbance of the property.
Section 4. According to the general contractor and engineer, the construction
of the addition and remodel of the existing residence generated more dirt than was
anticipated for the reason that the foundation had to be dug to up to 17 feet to bedrock in
some places. In addition, the foundation of the existing house was inadequate and needed
to be deepened to bedrock. All of this excavation generated much more dirt than
previously anticipated or approved.
Section 5. The Planning Commission finds that the project qualifies as a
Class 3 Exemption (Guidelines for California Environmental Quality Act, Section 15303)
and is therefore categorically exempt from environmental review under the California
Environmental Quality Act.
Section 6. Section 17.46.070 of the Zoning Ordinance provides authority for
modifications to previously approved applications. Modification of approved plans and/or
conditions imposed, including additions and deletions, may be considered by staff under
a minor modification and by the Planning Commission under a major modification. Staff
determined that this request constitutes a major modification to the previously approved
Site Plan application and therefore requires Planning Commission action. In addition, the
applicants exceeded the maximum permitted disturbed area of the lot, and therefore
require approval of a Variance.
Section 7. 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
building or structure may be constructed. With respect to the Modification of the Site
Plan application for additional grading the Planning Commission makes the following
findings of fact:
A. The as graded condition complies with and is consistent with the General
Plan and the Zoning Ordinance (with the granting of the variance below) because, among
other reasons, the as graded condition meet the City's goal to retain to the maximum
extent feasible the natural terrain of the property.
ZC NO.712 MOD. 2
B. The project substantially preserves the natural and undeveloped state of
the lot by minimizing building coverage.
C. The project is harmonious in scale and mass with the site, the natural
terrain and surrounding residences because the as graded condition preserves the natural.
and undeveloped state of the lot by minimizing tiering of the property. Significant
portions of the lot will be left undeveloped so as to maintain open space on the property.
The project will be screened from the street and neighbors by trees and shrubs. The
nature, condition, and development of adjacent uses, buildings, and structures and the
topography of the lot have been considered, and the additional grading will not adversely
affect or be materially detrimental to the adjacent uses, buildings, or structures because
the additional grading was done on a portion of the lot which is least intrusive to
surrounding properties and will be further screened and landscaped with trees and shrubs.
The resulting grading creates gentler slopes, with 3:1 steepness in several places rather
than the 2:1 configuration previously approved, as well as increasing one of the building
pads, which gently blends into a separate building pad rather than being separated by a
2:1 slope. The result is a more aesthetically pleasing look for the property, without
compromising the stability of the lot.
D. The modified grading preserves and integrates into the site design existing
topographic features of the site. The end result is the creation of a more natural effect
than previously approved.
E. Grading has been designed to follow natural contours of the site to the
greatest extent feasible and to minimize the amount of grading required for the building
area.
F. Grading will not modify existing drainage channels nor redirect drainage
flow unless such flow is redirected into an existing drainage course. A drainage plan has
been approved by Los Angeles County Building and Safety .and, which shows the
drainage following natural terrain.
G. The project preserves surrounding native vegetation and mature trees and
supplements these elements with drought -tolerant landscaping. A landscaping plan is on
file with the City, which is compatible with and enhances the rural character of the
community.
H. The project conforms to the requirements of the California Environmental
Quality Act and is exempt.
Section 8. 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. A Variance to Section 17.16.0'70 (B) is required because it states that
ZC NO. 712 MOD. 3
•
the lot disturbance shall be limited to 40.0% of the net lot area. The applicant is
requesting a Variance because total disturbance of the net lot area is proposed to be
54.2%. With respect to this request for a Variance, the Planning Commission finds as
follows:
A. There are exceptional and extraordinary circumstances and conditions
applicable to the property that do not apply generally to the other property in the same
zone. The property is unique in that three of its sides abut a street, creating a much
smaller area for determining the amount of soil that can be disturbed than other properties
that abut only one or two streets. The City's requirements for net lot area measurements
disproportionately burden this property because two roadway easements plus ten feet
around the entire property are deducted from the gross lot area to come up with the net lot
area for development purposes. Portuguese Bend Road wraps around the parcel along the
east side and southeast side, where the roadway easement is 30 feet. The front of the
property abuts Crest Road East, which has a 50-foot roadway easement. The gross lot
area of this lot is 4.8 acres. Because land is deducted along the two major streets of the
property for the easements instead of only one major street and one minor for most other
properties, 2.53 acres are deducted for the net lot area measurements, resulting in a much
smaller area than other lots for determining the amount of area disturbance.
B. The variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a
substantial property right possessed by other properties in the same vicinity and zone, but
which would be denied to the property in question absent a variance. The overage is not
significant and the property owner should not be denied the privilege of a larger, less
terraced backyard due to the fact that it wrapped around by major streets on three sided
and thus has less net lot area than a comparable property.
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. Significant portions of the lot will be left undeveloped so
as to maintain open space on the property. The as graded condition is on a portion of the
lot which is not intrusive to surrounding properties, and will be screened and landscaped
with trees and shrubs from nearby residences and from the street so that the as graded
condition will not impact the view or privacy of surrounding neighbors, and will permit
the owners to enjoy their property without deleterious infringement on the rights of
surrounding property owners.
D. In granting the variance, the spirit and intent of the General Plan and the
Zoning Ordinance will be observed. The purpose of the Zoning Ordinance is to regulate
development in an orderly fashion and in a manner consistent with the goals and policies
of the General Plan. Approval of the variance will not impede any goals of the Zoning
Ordinance or the General Plan. Rather, the variance will allow the property owner to
enjoy the same rights and privileges afforded to other property owners in the vicinity. In
fact, the as graded condition meets the goals established by the City Council to encourage
developers to create gentler than 2:1 slopes.
ZC NO. 712 MOD. 4
• •
E. The variance does not grant special privileges to the applicant because
most properties have at most two sides of their property subject to the roadway
easements. This variance merely allows this property to be developed as any comparable
property would be that abutted only two streets.
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 9. Based upon the foregoing findings, the Planning Commission
hereby approves the Site Plan Review and Variance applications for Zoning Case No.
712 MODIFICATION for grading of 912 cubic yards of cut and 912 cubic yards of fill
and a Variance to exceed the maximum permitted disturbed net lot area by 14.2% as
shown on the Development Plans dated February 17, 2009 subject to the following
conditions:
A. The Site Plan and Conditional Use Permit approved by Resolution No.
2005-29, dated September 20, 2005 shall be in full force and effect, unless amended
herein.
B. It is declared and made a condition of the approval, that if any conditions
thereof are violated, this approval shall be suspended and the privileges granted
hereunder shall lapse; provided that the applicants have been given written notice to
cease such violation, the opportunity for a hearing has been provided, and if requested,
has been held, and thereafter the applicant fails to correct the violation within a period of
thirty (30) days from the date of the City's determination.
C. All requirements of the Building and Construction Ordinance, the Zoning

This project was approved form a geologic and soils engineering standpoint in February 2008. Since
then three grading progress reports by SWN Soiltech Consultants were submitted for review (dated
7/9/08, 8/13/08, & 9/3/08), and field inspections by myself and a soils engineer were made shortly after
receipt of those reports. Following review of first SWN report, an inspection letter form Coast
Geotechnical was faxed to this office.
Based on the progress reports submitted to date, the grading completed thus far appears to meet code
requirements, despite not being graded per plan. The project soils engineer (SWN Geotechnical) and
geologist (Coast Geotechnical) state that they have inspected and approved the keyways prior to
placement of fill. These reports also state that they have inspected the excavation for the basement prior
pouring concrete.
SWN's progress reports also discuss compaction of fill and 'provided compaction test data to support their
statements that the fills have been placed in accordance with building code requirements and
recommendations in their reports.
