The proposed disturbed area is part of an application for a new pool, spa, and associated planters, stairs, walls and decking. JUL 3 t 2014 City of Rolling Hills By • • Criteria to be satisfied for grant of Variance Such change is based upon the following described exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions that do not apply generally to other property in the same vicinity and zone. The subject parcel is a corner -type parcel that has long frontages on two sides that result in a "nose - shape") property. The result is a reduction in net lot area due to the required setback from road easement, resulting in a smaller allowed disturbed area than would typically be permitted. This is an exceptional circumstance not commonly encountered in the City, where parcels typically have only one property line adjacent to road easement, often with very little net lot area reduction due to this condition. Such change will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare nor injurious to the property or improvements in such vicinity and zone where property is located The pool and deck improvement is generally consistent with permitted improvements in the City; it is shielded from view from the street, and will serve to control runoff and erosion from descending slopes above existing streets. Granting the variance will not be materially detriment to the public welfare or injurious to property or improvements in the vicinity. FILING FEE A filing fee must accompany the application.

Bolton Engineering Cora. AGENT'S ADDRESS: 25834 Narbonne Avenue #210, Lomita CA 90717 TELEPHONE NO.: 310-325-5580 NATURE OF PROPOSED PROJECT Describe in detail the nature of the proposed project, including what aspects of the project require a Site Plan Review: The proposed project includes the construction of a new pool (800 S.F.), new spa (58 S.F.), new pool decking (2,910 S.F.) and new pool equipment pad (75 S.F.) for a total of 1,383 S.F. of new structure. There will be a removal of a fountain (11 S.F.) so the total net area of structures added with this application is 1,372 S.F. There will also be walls up to 3, feet in height installed as part of thepoolpad. Planters will be used throughout the pad to create buffer zones between deck levels. Pools: A Site Plan Review is required for the pools due to the grading required to create the pool pad per Zoning Code 17.46.020-A-2-a and due to the fact that the spa and pool combined exceed 800 S.F.. Grading: A Site Plan Review is required for the gradiin on -site per Zoning Code 17.46.020-A-1.

Describe in detail the project's conformance with the criteria below: A. Is the project compatible with the General Plan, the Zoning Ordinance and surrounding uses? Explain how it Explain how it compares to the sizes, setbacks and other characteristics of neighboring houses. The project, aside from the pool being in the front yard and disturbed area being over 40%, is compatible with the General Plan, Zoning Ordinance and surrounding uses. Being that the lot is an odd shape, there is no real rear yard for a pool to be placed in. The future stable is set in the side yard due and even if we were to switch the locations, the stable would still need a variance to be placed in the front yard. The lot disturbs 41.65% which is above the Zoning Code allowed 40%. This site's setbacks are actually greater than many neighbors due to the roadways easement being on two sides of the lot. The 50' setback from the roadway allows a much larger buffer zone than other neighboring houses. B. How does the project preserve and integrate 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)? Explain how the project preserves and integrates existing natural features. The project preserves and integrates into the site design existing topographic features by utilizing the previously created flat areas to build on. The pool and spa pad will be constructed on an area which was previously lawn and patio. Many of the existing trees will be able to remain and drainage will not be impacted. Small retaining walls were used in order to limit the amount of grading required. C. How does the site development plan follow natural contours of the site to minimize grading? Extensive grading and re -contouring of existing terrain to maximize buildable area shall not be approved. Graded slopes shall be rounded and contoured so as to blend with existing terrain. Grading shall not modify existing drainage or redirect drainage flow unless into an existing drainage course. Explain the nature and extent of the impact of grading and proposed minimization on lots. The site development plan follows the natural contours of the site to minimize grading by once again utilizing the existing disturbed area and patio area to place the new structures on. The existing drainage will not be modified other than collecting the water from the impervious surfaces and discharging it to a non -erosive device. There is very minimal grading proposed for the creation of the pad and the majority of the work will instead be flatwork. D. To what extent does the site development plan preserve surrounding native vegetation and supplement it with landscaping that is compatible with and enhances the rural character of the community? Landscaping should provide a buffer and transition zone between private and public areas. Explain how the project preserves native vegetation, integrates landscaping and creates buffers. The project preserves the native vegetation by minimizing the grading as much as possible. The pool pad is currently grass and concrete patio. A landscape plan will be prepared at a later date to ensure that the pool is properly screened from neighbors and the roadway. There is still a 50' setback from the pool pad to both Middleridge Road and Middleridge Lane South. 13IPage • • July 30, 2014 E. How does the site development plan preserve the natural and undeveloped state of the lot by minimizing building coverage? Lot coverage requirements shall be regarded as maximums and the actual amount of lot coverage permitted should depend upon the existing buildable area of the lot. The site development plan preserves the natural and undeveloped state of the lot by proposing the pool on a pad which was previously developed. There is still a large buffer zone between the roadways and the project which is not being developed at all. Furthermore, the area to the rear of the house and between the stable still has no development on it. F. Is the site development plan harmonious in scale and mass with the site, the natural terrain and surrounding residences? Setbacks shall be regarded as minimums and more restrictive setbacks shall be imposed where necessary to assure proportionality and openness. Explain how the proposed project setbacks compare with the existing setbacks of neighboring properties. The plan is harmonious in scale and mass as surrounding residences. The proposed pool and spa will fit nicely with the new garage and residence and will not overpower the site. G. Is the site development plan sensitive and not detrimental to convenience and safety of circulation for pedestrians and vehicles? Explain how the number and types of vehicles relate to the driveway location, design, landscaping and other on -site parking or storage areas. The Site Plan is sensitive and not detrimental to convenience and safety of circulation for pedestrians and vehicles as the pool is set back about 75' from both Middleridge Road and Middleridge Land South. All bridle trails will remain untouched and pedestrian access will not be impeded. H. Does the site development plan conform with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act? Explain how the project impacts the environment, e.g. significant impact, proposed mitigation measures. The Site Plan is sensitive conforms with the requirements of C.E.Q.A and will not have any significant impacts to the environment. I hereby certify that the statements furnished above, and in attached exhibits, presents the data and information required for the site plan review criteria evaluation to the best of my ability; and, that the facts, statements and other information presented are true and correct to the best of my knowledge and belief.
