379, An addition to existing SFR wi, CorrespondenceCt O/ /E0tft INCORPORATED JANUARY 24, 1957 NO. 2 PORTUGUESE BEND ROAD ROLLING HILLS. CALIF. 90274 (213) 377-1321 February 28, 1990 Mr. Mansoor Mirsaidi 1 Maverick Lane Rolling Hills, CA 90274 SUBJECT: PROPOSED RETAINING WALL IN SIDE YARD SETBACK Dear Mr. Mirsaidi: It has been brought to the attention of the City of Rolling Hills that a Mutual Release and Settlement Agreement has been executed by the Rolling Hills Community Association, Stinnetts, and yourself. In said Agreement, a retaining wall, which will be 35 feet long and a maximum 32 inches high, will be built within the easement and side yard setbacks areas of both your property and your neighbor's lot by crossing the mutual property line. In evaluating the Agreement and exhibit prepared by South Bay Engineering, Staff has determined that a variance will be required to construct the proposed wall. As you are aware, your neighbor at 9 Caballeros Road has requested a variance (Zoning Case No. 412, Mr. Gordon Siu) to construct a residential addition into the side yard setback closest to your property. The Planning Commission, at their regular meeting of February 20, 1990, continued Mr. Siu's application to address the proposed development in the easement and side yard area as part of the executed Agreement. Since the proposed retaining wall will be developed over both properties, an additional variance request must be acted upon for both lots. City Staff suggests that a joint application from Mr. Siu and yourself be heard before the Planning Commission. Your attention on this matter to submit an application for variance is required for the Planning Commission to proceed with review of the proposed development on the two properties. Upon submittal of a complete application, the matter can be set forth for public hearing and noticed to surrounding property owners. An application form is enclosed and a filing fee is not anticipated. Should you have any further questions regarding this matter, please contact me at City Hall at (213) 377-1521. • • Mirsaidi Page 2 Sincerely, CITY OF RQLLING HILLS Ray Hamada Principal Planner Enclosure cc Doug McHattie, South Bay Engineering Gordon Siu Peggy Minor, R.H.C.A. • /Jd17/' I9 ? Sept-ember--2 2 , 10 8-9 City of Rolling Hills #2 Portuguese Bend Road Rolling Hills, CA 90274 Attn: Planning Commission RE: Mirsaidi Variance Dear Honorable Members: In reference to our application, dated December 14, 1988, regarding our variance, we have not as yet received a report of the Minutes. As per our discussion with Mrs. Betty Volkert and Mr. Terry Bellinger two weeks ago, we assumed that our request had been denied by the Planning Commission and City Council. Based on the Architectural Committee's letter, dated August 1, 1989, we prepared our final plans and after almost one year, we are ready for construction. We request you kindly review your judgment considering the above along with the following information: 1. A two car garage is not enough for the number of persons in our family. 2. On the front and side yards, we tried to keep the garage in line with the existing house. 3. In having the extra garage, it keeps the driveway clean and not cluttered with cars. We appreciate your time in re-evaluating this decision and look forward to an early reply. Sincerely, Dr. & Mrs. Mansoor Mirsaidi 1(0V ©7 n.
