A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ROLLING HILLS GRANTING A VARIANCE TO THE REAR YARD SETBACK IN ZONING CASE NO. 419 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. William Martin with respect to real property located at 17 Caballeros, Rolling Hills (Lot 20-SK) requesting a variance to the rear yard setback requirement to construct a residential addition and retaining wall. Section 2. The Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public hearing to consider the original application on February 20, 1990 and March 20 1990 and conducted a field site review on March 17, 1990. The Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. 90-6, denying the original Variance request. The Commission rejected two following requests by the applicant for reconsideration of the action on April 7, 1990 and April 18, 1990. The action of the Commission was reported to the City council on May 14, 1990, whereby the Council took jurisdiction upon the matter. The City Council conducted a duly noticed public hearing on June 11, 1990 to consider a revised request, and remanded the application to the Planning Commission for additional review. Correspondingly, the Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public hearing on July 17, 1990. Section 3. Sections 17.32.010 through 17.32.030 permit approval of a variance from the standards and requirements of the Zoning Ordinance when exceptional or extraordinary circumstances applicable to the property and not applicable to to other similar properties in the same zone prevent the owner from making use of a parcel of property to the same extent enjoyed by similar properties. Section 17,16.080 requires a rear yard setback in the residential zone to be 50 feet. The applicant is requesting to encroach 22 feet into the rear yard setback to construct a retaining wall and an addition to the nonconforming residence. findings: Section 4. The Planning Commission makes the following A. There are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable to the property or to the intended use that do not apply generally to the other property or class of use in the same vicinity and zone because the property under application is unusually shaped and has topographical and lot development constraints that justify the continued encroachment. B. The variae is necessary for the prervation and enjoyment of a substantial property right possessed by other property in the same vicinity and zone, but which is denied to the property in question because due to the existing development pattern and the configuration of the property, the residence cannot be expanded significantly within the front or side yards. Further, expansion of the subject residence will be compatible in size with the surrounding properties. C. The granting of the variance would not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to the property or improvements in such vicinity and zone in which the property is located because the proposed project will be developed at a point far removed from the roadway and surrounding residences, and the project will result in no greater incursion into the rear yard than currently existing. Section 5. Based on the foregoing findings, the Planning Commission hereby approves the Variance for Zoning Case No. 419 to permit an encroachment of twenty-two (22') feet into the easterly rear yard as indicated in the Development Plan submitted with this application and incorporated herein by reference as Exhibit A, subject to the following conditions: A. The variance to the rear yard setback shall expire if not used in one year from the effective date of approval as defined and specified in Section 17.32.110 of the Municipal Code. B. The building plan must be approved by the Rolling Hills Community Association Architectural Committee before the applicant receives a building permit from the County of Los Angeles. C. The working drawings submitted to the County Department of Building and Safety for plan check must conform to the Development Plan approved with the variance. D. Prior to the submittal of a final grading plan, if necessary, to the County of Los Angeles, the grading plan shall be submitted to the Rolling Hills Planning Commission Department, along with related geology, soils and hydrology. This grading plan must conform to the development plan as approved by the Planning Commission. E. Any modifications to the project which would constitute a modification to the Development Plan as approved by the Planning Commission, shall require the filing of an application for modification of the Development Plan pursuant to Section 17.34.070 of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code. • F. Applicant shall execute an affidavit of acceptance of all conditions pursuant to Section 17.32.087 or this variance shall not be effective. PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED this 1990. 4th day of August Allan Roberts, Chairman ATTEST • • I hereby certify that the above Resolution No. 90-21 was adopted at a regular meeting of the City Council of the City of Rolling Hills on the 4th day of August, 1990 by the following vote: AYES: Commissioners Frost and Hankins; Chairman Roberts NOES: None ABSENT: Commissioner Raine ABSTAIN: Commissioner Lay /41 DEPUT RK DAVID C.

Barto, AIA Architect 3 Malaga Cove Plaza Suite 202 Palos Verdes Estates, CA 90274 RE: PROPOSED SITE RETAINING WALL Martin Residence Addition 17 Caballeros Road Rolling Hills, CA Job Number: 90-142E Dear Mr. Barto, In response to your request of August 30, 1990 I reviewed the above referenced plans dated 8/27/90 and visited the site Friday, September 7, 1990. The purpose of the site inspection, as you know, was to determine from the existing slope the constructed height of a concrete block retaining wall designed and anticipated to be 5'-0" ± based upon existing topography survey information. Using a 19'-2" (existing residence to back side of new wall) line -level, the proposed retaining wall would vary from 5'-4" high at the east end to 6'-8" high at the west end. To hold the wall height to 5'-0"+ and in order not exceed the existing 2:1 maximum slope, it appears that the face of the slope could be cut from the back of the proposed wall to the top of the slope (approximate 25') along the western end of the wall where the slope is closest to the house:. If the City will accept an overall slope slightly steeper than 2:1, A railroad tie - Garden wall could be placed on the slope above the retaining wall to keep the retaining wall to a maximum of 5'-0': I appreciate the opportunity to be of service. Should you have any questions please call me. Very Truly Yours, c David C. Breiholz DCB/je encl.
