BLAZEVICH Date: October 4, 1995 To: Mr. Craig Nealis Ms. Lola Unger From: John Z. Blazevich 1 Buggy Whip Drive aV I would like to thank both of you for your efforts in assisting me and my consultants finalize the review process. After having the project reviewed and approved by the Community Association Architectural Committee, favorable and prominent improvements have been made to this project. Please note the following: 1). Subterranean garage omitted; as a result of architectural review. 2). Building pad lowered 1 ft. 3). Building pad reduced approximately 3,000 sq. ft.; primarily due to elimination of subterranean garage and motor court. 4). Amount of grading lowered by 80 cy. 5). Roof pitch lowered from 4 1/2:12 to 3:12 which reduced ridge height approximately 3 ft. With all of these improvements, the lot coverage calculations which were approved by the Planning Commission and City Council on February 14, 1995, remain virtually identical as described on the attached page. The slight difference in the pad coverage is due to the reduced size of the pad. Also, for your reference, please review the overlapping footprint of the existing residence (hatched), the approved February 14, 1995 Planning Commission footprint (in yellow), and the approved October 3, 1995 Architectural Committee footprint (bold black line). It is the approved October 3, 1995 Architectural Committee footprint which we are requesting final approval by the Planning Commission. Even though this has been a long and very expensive 26 month process, I would like to again, thank both of you for your kind efforts and guidance. pc: Members of the Rolling Hills Planning Commission 222 WEST SIXTH STREET, EIGHTH FLOOR, SAN PEDRO, CALIFORNIA 90731-3316 310 . 832 . 8000 FAX 310 . 548 . 1484 • CALCULATION OF LOT COVERAGE APPROVED February 14. 1995 PROPOSED PERMITTED October 17. 1995 GUIDELINES 1.
