Section 16.16.010(B) of the Rolling Hills Subdivision Ordinance requires that each lot in any subdivision in the RAS-2 zone shall have a net area (excluding easements) of not less than eighty-seven thousand one hundred twenty square feet (2.0 acres). The proposed lot line adjustment will result in Parcel 1 being 6.6978 net acres and Parcel 2 being 2.0717 net acres after excluding easements. B. Section 16.16.040 of the Rolling Hills Subdivision Ordinance requires that the length of the lot that abuts the easement line shall be at least equal to or greater than the depth of the lot divided by two and one-half; provided, that in no event shall such abutting footage be less than one hundred fifty feet. Each of the parcels complies with the provision. The adjustment will provide a 520-foot frontage for Parcel 1 along Buggy Whip Drive. The adjustment will reduce the frontage of Parcel 2 along Buggy Whip Drive to 215-feet and will change the frontage for Parcel 2 but, will not be less than the 150 foot minimum frontage along a maintained roadway for each lot. C. Section 16.16.020 of the Rolling Hills Subdivision Ordinance requires that in all cases where practicable, the sidelines of lots shall be at approximate right angles or radial to the street upon which such lot fronts. The proposed adjustment will result in the southwest sideline of Parcel 1 to be at right angles to the roadway for 45 feet and the northeast sideline of Parcel 2 to be at right angles to the roadway for 45 feet. The proposed irregular lot line between the two parcels is less angular than the existing irregular lot line. D. Section 16.16.040(D) of the Rolling Hills .Subdivision Ordinance requires that all lots shall have a depth with a slope less than thirty degrees at least equal to the footage abutting the street easement line.

For Parcel 2 the proposed adjustment will result in 2.05 acres of less than a 30 percent slope, a maximum lot depth of less than 30 percent slope of 365 feet, and a street frontage along the easement line of 215 feet along Buggy Whip Drive. Due to topographic conditions, 2.9 acres for Parcel 1 and 2.05 acres for Parcel 2 demonstrate a sizeable area for development on each parcel. E.

Dear Mr. Blazevich: At the regular City Council Meeting held Monday, January 10, 1994, City Councilmembers were prepared to act on the above referenced Resolution. However, during an inspection on your property on January 10, it was evident that the vehicular access from Parcel 1 across the property line to the guest house on Parcel 2 was not blocked in a manner required by the City Council and proposed by the property owners and persons involved in the case during the regular City Council Meeting held Monday, November 22, 1993. Although initial communication by your representative, Doug McHattie of South Bay Engineering, indicated that the driveway access was reactivated to allow for the moving of furnishings from the guest house, we do not have this confirmation in writing. Members of the City Council continued consideration of the above Resolution until Monday, January 24, 1994.

RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Council receive and file Resolution No. 93-32. RESOLUTION NO. 93-32 A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ROLLING HILLS AUTHORIZING THE ISSUANCE OF A CERTIFICATE OF COMPLIANCE FOR LOT LINE ADJUSTMENT IN ZONING CASE NO. 502. 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. John Z. Blazevich requesting a Certificate of Compliance and approval of a Lot Line Adjustment between two adjacent parcels of property. The first parcel is currently 5.641 gross acres and is located at 1 Buggy Whip Drive (Lot 176-A-MS)(Hereinafter referred to as "Parcel 1"). The second parcel is currently 4.249 gross acres and is located at 13 Crest Road West (Lot 176-MS)(Hereinafter referred to as "Parcel 2"). Single family residential structures exist on each parcel. A guest house currently exists on Parcel 2 within that portion of Parcel 2 to be transferred into Parcel 1. Section 2. The proposed Lot Line Adjustment involves moving the common side lot line between both parcels to the southwest so that 1.7842 gross acres is moved from Parcel 2 into Parcel 1. Section 3. Mr. John Z. Blazevich has requested a Certificate of Compliance and approval of this Lot Line Adjustment as a condition of an escrow agreement to purchase Parcel 1 from its current owner, Dr. and Mrs. H. Lawrence Amberg. The owner of Parcel 2, Dr. and Mrs. Paul Kouri, has consented to the Lot Line Adjustment in documents submitted to the City. Section 4. California Government Code Subsection 66412(d) authorizes minor lot line adjustments without requiring a tentative map, parcel map or final map if: A. The lot line adjustment involves two or more existing adjacent parcels, where land is proposed to be taken from one parcel and added to an adjacent parcel; B. A greater number of parcels than originally existed is not thereby created; C. The lot line adjustment will create parcels that conform to local zoning and building ordinances; and D. The lot line adjustment is approved by the City. Section 5. The Planning Commission considered the application on October 23, 1993 at an adjourned regular meeting and conducted a field site review. RESOLUTION NO. 93-32 PAGE 2 Section 6. The Planning Commission finds that the project is categorically exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to a Class 5 exemption provided by Section 15303 of the State CEQA Guidelines. Section 7. The Planning Commission has considered the evidence, both written and oral, presented to it in connection with this application and finds as follows: A. Section 16.16.010.B of the Rolling Hills Subdivision Ordinance requires that each lot in any subdivision in the RAS-2 zone shall have a net area (excluding easements) of not less than eighty-seven thousand one hundred twenty square feet (2.0 acres). The proposed lot line adjustment will result in Parcel 1 being 6.6978 net acres and Parcel 2 being 2.0717 net acres after excluding easements. B. Section 16.16.040 of the Rolling Hills Subdivision Ordinance requires that the length of the lot that abuts the easement line shall be at least equal to or greater than the depth of the lot divided by two and one-half; provided, that in no event shall such abutting footage be less than one hundred fifty feet. Each of the parcels complies with the provision. The adjustment will provide a 520-foot frontage for Parcel 1 along Buggy Whip Drive. The adjustment will reduce the frontage of Parcel 2 along Buggy Whip Drive to 215-feet and will change the frontage for Parcel 2 but, willnot be less than the 150 foot minimum frontage along a maintained roadway for each lot. C. Section 16.16.020 of the Rolling Hills Subdivision Ordinance requires that in all cases where practicable, the sidelines of lots shall be at approximate right angles or radial to the street upon which such lot fronts. The proposed adjustment will result in the southwest sideline of Parcel 1 to be at right angles to the roadway for 45 feet and the northeast sideline of Parcel 2 to be at right angles to the roadway for 45 feet. The proposed irregular lot line between the two parcels is less angular than the existing irregular lot line. D. Section 16.16.040(D) of the Rolling Hills Subdivision Ordinance requires that all lots shall have a depth with a slope less than thirty degrees at least equal to the footage abutting the street easement line. For Parcel 1 the proposed adjustment will result in 2.9 acres of less than a 30 percent slope, a maximum lot depth of less than 30 percent slope of 430 feet and a street frontage along the easement line of 520 feet along Buggy Whip Drive. For Parcel 2 the proposed adjustment will result in 2.05 acres of less than a 30 percent slope, a maximum lot depth of less than 30 percent slope of 365 feet, and a street frontage along the easement line of 215 feet along Buggy Whip Drive. Due to topographic conditions, 2.9 acres for Parcel 1 and 2.05 acres for • RESOLUTION NO. 93-32 PAGE 3 Parcel 2 demonstrate a sizeable area for development on each parcel. E. The City's Sanitary Sewer Feasibility Study, prepared by ASL Consulting Engineers on February 9, 1988, recommends the installation of future sewer lines to service the immediate vicinity to be constructed along the northwesterly property line of Parcel 1 and the northwesterly and southerly property lines of Parcel 2. Based upon this Study and the need to provide for the future installation of sewers to serve the properties in the immediate vicinity of the subject property, conditions have been attached to require the applicant to record an easement to the Rolling Hills Community Association for ingress and egress purposes to construct underground utilities along the northwesterly property line, the northerly boundary line, the easterly boundary line, the southeasterly boundary line, the southerly boundary line of Parcel 1; the area on either side of the boundary line between Parcel 1 and 2 between the southerly and northerly lot lines; the southeasterly boundary line, the southerly boundary line, and the northwesterly boundary line of Parcel 2. F. Conditions have also been attached to this approval which provide that it will not impair or limit the City's application of the Site Plan Review Ordinance to any future development of Parcel 1 or Parcel 2. Section 8. In accordance with the foregoing findings, the lot line adjustment and Certificate of Compliance sought in Zoning Case No. 502 as indicated on the map attached hereto as Exhibit "A" is hereby approved subject to the following conditions: A. The applicant shall prepare and, upon approval and acceptance of the City, record concurrent with the Certificate of Lot Line Adjustment an easement in gross, in favor of the City of Rolling Hills (with the intention that the City convey it immediately to the Rolling Hills Community Association) for the easements and rights -of -way reserved for the use and purpose of erecting, constructing, operating and maintaining thereon: (1) roads, streets, or bridle trails, parkways and park areas; (2) poles, wire and conduits for the transmission of electricity for lighting, heating, power, telephone, cable and other purposes and for the necessary attachments in connection therewith; (3) public and private sewers, storm water drains, land drains, and pipes, water systems, water, heating and gas mains or pipes; and (4) any other method of conducting and performing any public orquasi- public utility service or function beneath the surface of the ground. The easement deed shall prohibit Grantor or successor to Grantor from constructing or erecting any improvements or altering the contours of the surface of the easement area other than installation of shallow rooted landscaping and necessary irrigation systems. The map attached to the Certificate of Compliance, RESOLUTION NO. 93-32 PAGE 4 referred hereto as Exhibit "A" shall delineate and note the easements specified in this paragraph. B. The lot line adjustment shall not in any respect limit or impair the City's application of the. Site Plan Review Ordinance ((Ordinance No. 221, 1988) to Parcels 1 and 2 at such time as an application is made for development. C. The lot line adjustment shall not in any respect waive, release or be construed to supersede any restriction, dedication or condition set forth on Los Angeles County Assessor Map No. 51, and all such matters are hereby reserved. D. The Certificate of Lot Line Adjustment shall not be issued until a legal description complying with the delineation of adjustment, and including, the required easements as specified in Paragraph A of Section 8 are submitted to, and approved by the City, attached hereto as Exhibit "A." E. The applicant shall execute an Affidavit of Acceptance of all conditions or this Lot Line Adjustment shall not be effective. F. Upon the recordation of the Certificate of Lot Line Adjustment, no access to the guest house on Parcel 1 shall occur across Parcel 2; the existing driveway to the guest house shall be removed, subject to City staff approval; and any access across Parcel 1 to the guest house shall comply with all current zoning requirements. G. The Lot Line Adjustment map shall be amended to designate the location of a 450 square foot stable and 550 square foot corral on each parcel.
