We have received your application and fees requesting a modification of your Site
Plan Review approval and a Variance for the importation of soil associated with the
as graded condition of the portion of your property approved for the construction of
a barn. We are evaluating your applications and anticipate that your case will be
presented to the Planning Commission on March 18th, 1997.
We have reviewed the correspondence dated February 6, 1997 which was submitted
with your applications requesting that you be permitted to construct the retaining
wall and backfill at the rear of the stable in order to preserve the integrity of the
hillside. Based upon our discussions with Los Angeles County District Engineer
Lata Thakar and Senior Building Inspector Rafael Bernal, you are permitted to
construct the wall as specified on your original plans approved by the Planning
Commission.
Please understand that modification of the Stop Work Order is strictly limited to
construction of the wall, including gravel and soil backfill, utilizing soil existing on
your property. You are not authorized to complete any other work or import any
soil to your property. The Stop Work Order for all other building and grading work
remains in effect.

SUBJECT: REVIEW OF "AS GRADED" PLAN
7 MAVERICK LANE (LOT 28-SK)
Dear Mr. Howroyd:
We appreciate you providing the "as graded" plan for your development project on the above
mentioned lot. We have concluded an initial review of the "as graded" plan and visited the
construction site with the County's District Engineer Ms. Lata Thakar and Senior Engineering
Building Inspector Mr. Rafael Bernal. Our initial review revealed a number of issues that need
to be resolved.
These issues are:
1. The original site plan approved by the Planning Commission allows only 110 cubic
yards of cut soil. The "as graded" plan shows 340 cubic yards of cut soil.
2. The original site plan approved by the Planning Commission allows only 110 cubic
yards of fill soil. The "as graded" plan shows 1,750 cubic yards of fill soil and a
substantially expanded stable pad.
3. The original site plan approved by the Planning Commission shows the slope between
the stable and beginning of the driveway as having a 3:1 slope. Following our site
inspection, it appears that this slope was misrepresented on the original site plan and
on the as -graded plan and is not in conformance with the City and County's requirement
of a 2:1 slope. The plan does not comply with what we saw at the site. It appears that
the steepness of the slope may be a pre-existing condition, however, the County has
some serious concerns as to whether the stable construction could be approved given its
proximity to the slope in question.
4. In addition, the City Manager approved the importation of a maximum of 130 cubic
yards of soil onto your lot from the Hao property at 5 Sagebrush Lane (Lot 100-A-3-
RH). The import and export of more than this amount requires the City Manager's
approval and if the amount is more than 500 cubic yards of soil, such action requires
prior Planning Commission approval. It appears that much more than 500 cubic yards
of soil was imported to your lot and thus, prior Planning Commission approval was
required for that action.
Consequently, we have determined that your project is in violation of the original plans as
presented to and approved by the Planning Commission on January 16, 1996. Therefore, you
are hereby ordered to submit to the City in writing how you plan to resolve this situation and
bring your property into conformance with the approved project.
As an alternative to bringing the site into conformance with approved plans, you are permitted
to apply to the Planning Commission for a Variance to disrupt the balanced cut and fill ratio
and to allow the existing importation of the substantial amount of imported soil. This request
would also have to be accompanied by a request to modify your Site Plan Review approval to
increase the grading quantities and for changes to the corral.
Should you apply for the Variance and Modification to the Site Plan Review and pay
appropriate fees, we will consider modifying the stop work order to allow work to continue on
portions of your project that would not preclude the restoration of your property into
conformance with the development as originally approved by the Planning Commission. We
stand ready to review any proposals you may choose to offer as to what portions of this
project may continue without precluding you from removing the imported soil should the
Planning Commission deny your request.
Your decision must be made in writing within the next 15 days (by February 13, 1997) as to
your course of action. Should you elect to make application for the Variance and Modification
to the Site Plan Review approval, we will make every effort to expedite your applications to
their earliest possible conclusions, but you should understand that there is no assurance that the
Planning Commission will approve those applications. Thus, it is possible that even after going
through the process of applying for the Variance and Modification to the Site Plan Review, you
may be required to return the site to its originally approved condition.
The "Stop Work Order" for all other building and grading work currently remains in effect. At
this time, you may only continue work on the hillside at the rear of the property in the stable
area to stabilize any unsafe conditions only. This limited exception to the "Stop Work Order"
is only to preserve the integrity of the hillside.
Feel free to call me if you have any questions regarding this matter. Your cooperation will be
appreciated.

15.04.150 of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code permits an exception to the balance cut
and fill ratio requirement of up to 500 cubic yards of soil to be exported or imported
when a structure cannot be completed without the requested import or export of
soil.
The export of 450 cubic yards of soil from 5 Sagebrush Lane may be used to finish the

Thank you for your letter dated September 19, 1996 requesting to export 240 cubic
yards of soil from the Blazevich job site at 1 Buggy Whip Drive. The letter appears
to satisfy the reasons why soil needs to be imported at 7 Maverick Lane and the Hix
Ring. However, you have not submitted any evidence supporting the need to
export the soil from 1 Buggy Whip Drive as required pursuant to Section 15.04.150 of
the Municipal Code (enclosed). Therefore, your request is denied at this time.
In order to consider your request for approval, you must comply with the
provisions of Paragraph 3 of Section 15.04.150 of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code
which provides an exception to the balance cut and fill ratio requirement.
Conditions which must be met include:
a. construction of the structure on the lot or parcel has commenced.
b. that the need to import or export soil could not have been foreseen prior
to commencement of construction and
c. that either the structure cannot be completed without the requested
import or export of the soil or that the emergency condition exists due to
the threat of land subsidence or other eminent danger.
Until the provisions of Section 15.04.150 are satisfied, and approval is granted by the
City, you are not permitted to export any soil from 1 Buggy Whip Drive.

By
I was copied a letter from AGI Geotechnical, Inc. in which they stated a need for dirt at 7
Maverick Lane.
At this time I am requesting that we be allowed to export the allowable maximum of 500 cubic
yards of earth from the Blazevich property.
In as much as we have already moved 260 cubic yards to complete the Hilliard job, this would
leave 240 cubic yards that we would be allowed to export.
There has been an urgent request from the Caballeros to obtain dirt to finish the Hix ring.
I am estimating 110 cubic yards would complete that task. The remainder, 130 cubic yards, be
used to finish the Howroyd project as requested in the AGI letter, which is enclosed.
Thank you for your consideration.

RE: Grading operations at above mentioned location
Dear Mr. Howroyd;
During my observations of the grading 'operations on the slope behind your residence, it is
obvious that the soil being placed is taking a tremendous shrink. This is not an uncommon
occurrence in this area and can generally be remedied with the importing of soil from another
local project. Since all of the criteria for your project is predicated on the pad reaching proposed
design elevation, and the high shrinkage factor is making that unlikely, you may be needing soil.
As luck would have it, a recent backfill design criteria change for the basement walls at
# 1 Buggy Whip Drive, here in rolling hills, allows you that opportunity.
If this is may be of any benefit to you feel free to contact Dutch Phillips ( grading contractor )
# 1 Buggy Whip. The job site Phone is 310-541-9925 or the fax No. is 310-541-2969.

Dear Mr. Howroyd
NOTICE TO PERMITTEE FOR COMPLIANCE
TEMPORARY DRAINAGE AND EROSION MEASURES
#7 Maverick Lane, C.R.H.
We have inspected your project and find that the grading is
not complete nor does it appear that it will be finished by
November 1 of this year. County of Los Angeles Building Code
Section 7011 requires you to provide temporary drainage and
erosion control measures during the rainy season to protect
adjoining properties or facilities from damage by flooding,
erosion, and the deposition of mud or debris which may
originate from your grading site.
It is your responsibility to submit plans incorporating the
necessary protective measures for our review prior to October
1. Also, it is your responsibility, on or before November 1,
to obtain plan approval and to install the necessary erosion
control devices shown on the approved plans. Noncompliance
with the plan submittal requirement for October 1, 1996
and/or the installation of the necessary protective measures
by November 1, 1996 will lead to penalties, as described in
Section 7012 of the Building Code (see attached penalty
table). The erosion control devices shall be maintained in
good working order through April 15, 1997. Failure to comply
with these Code provisions will initiate one or more of the
following actions:
1. Charging a financial penalty for each day of violation to
be assessed against the property and charged as a special
assessment on the tax bill if not paid within 30 days
(Section 7012).
2. Deeming that a default has occurred under the conditions
of the grading permit security (Section 7012).
3. Issuance of grading stop work order.
Mr. B Howroyd

A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY
OF ROLLING HILLS GRANTING SITE PLAN REVIEW APPROVAL
FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF A STABLE WITH LOFT AND
CORRAL AREA THAT REQUIRE GRADING IN ZONING CASE NO.
535.
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. Bernard Howroyd with
respect to real property located at 7 Maverick Lane, Rolling Hills (Lot 28-SK)
requesting Site Plan Review for a stable with loft and corral area that require
grading.
Section 2. A previous application for the sar1 a stable with loft and corral
area was approved by the Planning Commission on September 7, 1993. On
September 20, 1994, the Planning Commission approved a one year time extension.
The time extension expired on September 7, 1995. Section 17.46.080(B)(3) of the
Rolling Hills Municipal Code requires that any extension beyond the second
anniversary of original approval may only be granted or denied in the same manner
and based upon the same criteria as required for approval of the original project.
Section 3. The Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public
hearing to consider the application for Site Plan Review on December 19, 1995.
Section 4. Section 17.46.030 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 may
be made which involve changes to grading or an increase to 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 25% in any 36-month period.
Section 5. With respect to the Site Plan Review application, the Planning
Commission makes the following findings of fact:
A. The proposed development 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 109,197 square feet. The proposed stable (1,294 sq.ft.), existing
residence (4,964 sq.ft.), garage (540 sq.ft.), existing swimming pool (623 sq.ft.), and
existing service yard (96 sq.ft.) will have 7,517 square feet which constitutes 6.9% of
the lot which is within the maximum 20% structural lot coverage requirement. The
RESOLUTION NO. 96-1
PAGE 1 OF 5
• •
total lot coverage including paved areas and driveway will be 16,050 square feet
which equals 14.7% of the lot, which is within the 35% maximum overall lot
coverage requirement. Coverage on the lower stable pad will be 28.4% which is
similar in size to several neighboring developments.
B. The development plan substantially preserves the natural and
undeveloped state of the lot by minimizing building coverage because the new
structure will not cause the structural and total lot coverage to be exceeded. Further,
the proposed project on a lower pad will have a buildable pad coverage of 28.4%.
Significant portions of the lot will be left undeveloped so as to maintain trail access
near the northern property line and scenic vistas across the northeasterly portions of
the property.
C . The proposed stable and corral 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 and the proposed project is
consistent with the scale of other structures in the neighborhood. Grading shall be
permitted only to restore the natural slope of the property. The ratio of the proposed
structure to lot coverage is similar to the ratio found on several properties in the
vicinity.
D. The proposed development on the lower pad 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 (such as hillsides and knolls) because a minimum amount
of grading is proposed and will only be done to provide approved drainage that will
flow away from the proposed stable and corral, existing residence and existing
neighboring residences.
E. Grading has been designed to follow natural contours of the site and to
minimize the amount of grading required to create the building area because
grading will only be done to provide approved drainage that will flow away from
the proposed stable and corral, existing residence and existing neighboring
residences, and the grading will be limited to 110 cubic yards of cut soil and 110 cubic
yards of fill soil.
F. Grading will not modify existing drainage channels nor redirect
drainage flow because grading after development will follow the natural contours of
the site to minimize grading and the natural drainage courses will continue to the
canyon which exists along the easternside of this lot.
G. The development plan incorporates existing large trees and native
vegetation to the maximum extent feasible and, with the conditions attached to this
approval, supplements it with landscaping that is compatible with and enhances the
rural character of the community. The project preserves surrounding native
vegetation and mature trees and is compatible with and enhances the rural
RESOLUTION NO. 96-1
PAGE 2 OF 5
• •
vegetation and mature trees and is compatible with and enhances the rural
character of the community. Existing landscaping provides a buffer or transition
area between properties. The area proposed for development of the stable and corral
is partially graded and without significant vegetation. Thus, this project will not
have a significant effect on natural topographic features and native vegetation.
H. The proposed development is sensitive and not detrimental to the
convenience and safety of circulation for pedestrians and vehicles because the
proposed project will utilize Maverick Lane for access. Also, the existing driveway is
located at the end of a cul-de-sac street which will therefore create little interference
with traffic.
I. The project conforms with the requirements of the California
Environmental Quality Act and is categorically exempt from environmental
review.
Section 6. Based upon the foregoing findings, the Planning Commission
hereby approves the Site Plan Review application for Zoning Case No. 535 for a
proposed stable with loft, and corral development as indicated on the development
plan incorporated herein as Exhibit A and subject to the conditions contained in
Section 7.
Section 7. The Site Plan Review for a stable with loft, and corral that
require grading approved in Section 6 is subject to the following conditions:
A. The Site Plan Review approval shall expire within one year from the
effective date of approval as defined in Section 17.46.080(A).
B. It is declared and made a condition of the Site Plan Review approval,
that if any conditions thereof are violated, the Permit shall be suspended and the
privileges granted thereunder shall lapse; provided that the applicant has been
given written notice to cease such violation and has failed to do so for a period of
thirty (30) days.
C. All requirements of the Building and Construction Ordinance, the
Zoning Ordinance, and of the zone in which the subject property is located must be
complied with unless otherwise approved by Variance.
D. The stable, loft and corral shall be developed and maintained in
substantial conformance with the site plan on file marked Exhibit A except as
otherwise provided in these conditions.
E. Grading shall not exceed 110 cubic yards of cut soil and 110 cubic yards
of fill soil.
RESOLUTION NO. 96-1
PAGE 3 OF 5
• •
F. The stable loft shall have no glazed openings and the loft area shall be
limited in use to the storage of feed, tack, and stable equipment.
G. All free-standing retaining walls incorporated into the project shall not
be greater than 5 feet in height at any one point.
H. The building pad coverage for the stable and corral shall not exceed
28.4%.
I. 'Prior to the submittal of an applicable final grading plan to the County
of Los Angeles for plan check, a detailed grading and drainage plan with related
geology, soils and hydrology reports that conform to the development plan as
approved by the Planning Commission must be submitted to the Rolling Hills
Planning Department staff for their review. Cut and fill slopes must conform to the
City of Rolling Hills standard of 2 to 1 slope ratio.
J. The project must be reviewed and approved by the Rolling Hills
Community Association Architectural Review Committee prior to the issuance of
any building or grading permit.
K. The working drawings submitted to the County Department of
Building and Safety for plan check review must conform to the development plan
