Re: Construction permit requirement: outdoor kitchen - Final Notice
Dear Dr. and Mrs. Coser:
Upon completing an outdoor kitchen project several months ago, you obtained "as -built" City
zoning approval for this improvement project (see attached copy of site plan). I am following up
on earlier letters to you dated August 3, 2009, November 10, 2009 and January 26, 2010 in
which you were requested to obtain a building construction permit for this work, from the Los
Angeles County Building and Safety Permit Office, 24320 So. Narbonne Avenue, Lomita, (310)
534-3760. A building permit is required to ensure that the work has been done to applicable
health and safety standards.
To assist you, I am enclosing a copy of the site plan, with the approval stamp of the City's
Planning Director. You are required to submit this plan with your permit application at the
County permit office to document that the project complies with the City's zoning regulations.
Your cooperation in obtaining a building permit NO LATER THAN JUNE 18, 2010 will be
greatly appreciated. If you do not obtain a permit by this date, this may leave the City no
alternative other than to refer this matter to the City Attorney for enforcement.
If you have any questions please contact me by phone at 577-1521 ext. 225, or by e-mail at
rlackowna,citvofrh.net.

In reading the May 5, 2009 minutes of the Rolling Hills Community Association Architectural
Committee, we learned that you obtained "as -built" approval from the RHCA for an outdoor
kitchen on your property. The City's Planning Director approved an outdoor barbeque in 2006,
and therefore with the recent architectural committee's decision, you now have both local zoning
and homeowner association approvals.
It is necessary, however that you obtain applicable construction hermits for this work from the
Los Angeles County Building and Safety local permit office, 24320 S. Narbonne Avenue,
Lomita. Please obtain required construction permits no later than August 26, 2009. Please be
aware that, as a routine matter, before the construction permit can be issued the County will
require that you submit a site plan showing the outdoor kitchen and stamped "approved" by both
the City and Rolling Hills Community Association Architectural Committee.
Thank you for you attention to this and if you have any questions please contact me by phone at
577-1521 ext. 225, or by e-mail at rlackow@citvofrh.net.

Attention: Craig Nealis, City Manager
Subject: Export 200 cubic yards off dirt at # 56 Eastfield Drive
Import 200 cubic yards of dirt at # 18 Crest Road East
Dear Mr. Nealis
PAGE 01
We request you allow the Cosers at # 56 Easffield Drive to export 200 cubic yards to
the Slushers at #18 Crest Road East to import this same 200 cubic yards to complete
the projects for their homes.
The construction of the Coser residence at #56 Eastfield Drive is under construction.
They are in the process of installing the foundation. This foundation is more extensive
than anticipated. They need to remove approximately 200 cubic yards of dirt to
complete their project. This export of dirt was not expected prior to construction.
The grading operation at # 18 Crest Road East is underway. The extent of the over
excavation was considerably greater than expected due to the adverse soils condition
encountered at the site. This has resulted in more shrinkage of the fill than expected
and requires the. import of additional dirt from these two projects. This import was not
expected during the design phase.
We appreciate your consideration. If you have any questions or need any additional
information, please call.

Dear Members of the Planning Commission:
JUN 2 5 2003
CITY OF ROLLING HILLS
Site Review approval for the subject property will expire in July, 2003. The project has been
designed in accordance with all conditions of City approvals and is currently in building plan
check with the County of Los Angeles. Unfortunately the approvals process with the various
County Agencies cannot be completed prior to such expiration. We therefore respectfully request
a six month extension to City approvals in order to be able to complete the process required for
the purchase of a building permit.

A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
ROLLING HILLS GRANTING SITE PLAN REVIEW APPROVAL TO
PERMIT GRADING AND CONSTRUCTION OF A NEW SINGLE FAMILY
RESIDENCE TO REPLACE AN EXISTING SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE
IN ZONING CASE NO. 646 AT 56 EASTFIELD DRIVE (LOT 102-EF)
(COSER).
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 Dr. and Mrs. Russell Coser with
respect to real property located at 56 Eastfield Drive, (Lot 102-EF), Rolling Hills, CA
requesting a Site Plan Review to permit grading and construction of a new 5,147 square
foot single family residence with 803 square foot garage to replace an existing residence.
Section 2. The Planning Commission conducted duly noticed public hearings
to consider the application on February 26, 2002, March 19, 2002, and May 21, 2002 and
at a field trip visit on March 11, 2002. The applicant was 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 were in attendance at the hearings.
Section 3. The property is located along a loop of Eastfield Drive.
Pursuant to Sections 17.12.250(Y) and 17.16.110 Front Yards, of the City of Rolling
Hills Zoning Ordinance the front yard setback is measured 50 feet from the
roadway easement. The rear yard setback is measured 50 feet form the rear lot line,
except when a rear yard abuts a street, it shall be considered a front yard, therefore
it is measured 50 feet from the roadway easement.
Due to the provision in the Zoning Ordinance, which requires that a rear yard
which abuts a street be treated like a front yard, the proposed stable would be located in
the front yard, and would therefore, require a Variance when constructed. Due to the
size, location, topography and configuration of the lot the proposed location of the
stable is most reasonable. The proposed placement of the residence and the stable
would minimize grading on the lot.
Section 4. The Planning Commission finds that the project qualifies as a Class
3 Exemption (The State of CA Guidelines, Section 15303) and is therefore categorically
exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act.
Section 5. 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 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 by more than twenty-five percent (25%) in
any thirty-six (36) month period. With respect to the Site Plan Review application
requesting construction of the new house, 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 structures comply 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 net lot area of the lot is 42,240 square
feet. The proposed residence (5,147 sq.ft.), garage (803 sq.ft.), service yard (96 sq.ft.) and
a future stable will have 6,496 square feet of structures, which constitutes 15.4% of the
net lot which is within the maximum 20% structural lot coverage requirement. A 3,400
square foot basement is proposed for this development The total lot coverage including
paved areas and driveway will be 10,656 square feet, which constitutes 25.3% of the net
lot which is within the 35% maximum overall net lot coverage requirement. The
proposed project is screened from the road so as to reduce the visual impact of the
development. The disturbed area of the lot will be 36.0%, which is within the 40%
maximum permitted, and includes the future stable.
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 lot to look overdeveloped. Significant portions of the lot will
be left undeveloped so as to maintain open space on the property. The existing bushes
and trees along Eastfield Drive will remain and will screen the residence from the street.
The nature, condition, and development of adjacent uses, buildings, and structures and
the topography of the lot have been considered, and the construction of the new house
will not adversely affect or be materially detrimental to the adjacent uses, buildings, or
structures because the proposed structure will be constructed on a portion of the lot
which is the least intrusive to surrounding properties, will be screened and landscaped
with trees and shrubs which at maturity will not exceed 25 feet in height, is a sufficient
distance from nearby residences so that the proposed structure will not impact the view
or privacy of surrounding neighbors, and will substantially utilize the existing building
pad for the new construction.
C. The proposed development, as conditioned, is harmonious in scale and
mass with the site, the natural terrain and surrounding residences. As indicated in
Paragraph A, the lot coverage maximum set forth in the Zoning Code will not be
exceeded and the proposed project is consistent with the scale of the neighborhood.
D. The development plan incorporates existing trees and native vegetation to
the maximum extent feasible. Specifically, the development plan preserves dense brush
and shrubs and supplements it with landscaping that is compatible with and enhances
the rural character of the community.
E. The development plan follows natural contours of the site to minimize
grading and retain the natural drainage courses. Grading for this project will involve
1,070 cubic yards of cut and 1,070 cubic yards of fill and will be balanced on site.
RESOLUTION NO. 2002-06
PAGE 2
• •
F. 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 the existing driveway approach at Eastfield Drive.
G. The project conforms to the requirements of the California Environmental
Quality Act and is exempt.
Section 6. Based upon the foregoing findings, the Planning Commission hereby
approves the Site Plan Review application for Zoning Case No. 646 for grading and for
construction of a new residence as shown on the Development Plan, dated May 15, 2002,
and marked Exhibit A, subject to the conditions contained in Section 7 of this
Resolution.
Section 7. The Site Plan Review approved in Section 6 of this Resolution is
subject to the following conditions:

requirements of that section.
B. It is declared and made a condition of the Site Plan Review 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 Buildings and Construction Ordinance, the
Zoning Ordinance, and of the zone in which the subject property is located must be
complied with unless otherwise set forth in the Permit, or shown otherwise on an
approved plan.
D. The lot shall be developed and maintained in substantial conformance
with the site plan on file marked Exhibit A and dated May 15, 2002, except as otherwise
provided in these conditions.
E. The working drawings submitted to the County Department of Building

extend practicable, native trees and other native plants shall be utilized. If trees are to be
used in the landscaping scheme for this project, they shall be mature when planted and
which at full maturity shall not exceed 25 feet in height; shrubs shall be planted so as
not to obstruct views of neighboring properties but, to obscure the residential structure
on site.
N. The existing driveway shall serve the new residence.

Planning Commission meeting.
Should you wish to submit a revised site plan, the plan together with the
development calculation data must be submitted to me not later than Monday,
April 8, 2002. However, if the revised plan will necessitate a request for a
Variance from the provisions of the Zoning Code, that information must be
related to me not later than Monday April 1, 2002, so that proper newspaper and
neighbors notification may be provided for the April 16, 2002 meeting. Otherwise,
the hearing may have to be continued to the May 21, 2002 Planning Commission
meeting.
Should you have any questions, please call me at (310) 377-1521.

To the Planning Commissioners,
Julie & I moved our family here 3 years ago because we loved the open rural
environment, with the dream of building our own special home in which to raise
our children and care for our family. To that end we took a risk on a severely
challenging piece of property and spent considerable effort to clean it up and
enhance the general area for our new neighbors and ourselves. Now it is time to
complete our goal and begin a comprehensive rebuilding. We have given our
design an incredible amount of work and evaluation so as to fit our needs and fit
within the city requirements. We are very proud of our design and feel it fits
very well within our property and neighborhood. Although the lot pad guideline
has been exceeded, we feel what we proposed is reasonable and justifiable,
especially considering we have such an unusual & excessive limitation caused by
the encircling road set back and also considering we will be removing our old
garage which sits completely with the front yard set back.
Our plan will use the existing pad and may require a relatively small grade
change in the master bedroom area. It was mentioned at the last meeting that
we might consider downsizing our plans. Where as this might seem a simple
option, it proved to be not viable and still meet the needs required by our family.
If we were to change our plans it would force us to maintain our existing -garage
in the set back and require seeking further approval to extend and expand into
other front yard setbacks. This would seem to be far less acceptable to the
council and to us. Our only other option would be to move elsewhere, leaving it
to someone else to find a solution for such a difficult property. In summary, we
feel we have made an improvement in our city and that our future plans will fit
within requirements and be in harmony with many other homes along our street.
Please feel free to call myself or my architect for further assistance or
clarification.
Respectfully,
��s

Dear Ms. Schwartz,
Dr_ Coser has requested that City Site review for the subject property be continued to a future Planning
Commission meeting. Please accept our apology for submitting this request so late. Only today was the
decision made by the Cosers to remove the application from the agenda in order to allow more time to
