Date May 29, 1990 j/if‘°547 (6-/3/k) (Signatude) For br Michae• l Weller (Applicant) X X a,� • • Edward Carson Beall and Associates Project: Dr. & Mrs Michael Weller #3 Flying Mane Road Rolling Hills, CA 90274 APPENDIX "B" ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING Item #20 Project Site Description (Existing Condition): The project site is a sloping lot sloping downward from east (Flying Main Road) to west (Southfield Drive) with a change in grade elevation of approximately 90 feet. The western portion of the building pad consists of fill material to depths between 2.5 - 6.5 feet. The fill material is firm, moist, mottled brown and yellow brown Silty Clay with locally abundant silt stone clasts. The site is underlain by bedrock consisting of sedimentary rocks of the Altamira Shale a member of the miocene monterey formation. (See Preliminary Geotechnical Engineering investigations by Coastline Geotechnical Consultants dated April 20, 1990 Project No.: 315C-020 and by Consulting Geologist George De Vries dated May 4, 1990 Project No.: 1183-030.) The eastern and southern edges of the site are planted with pine and other medium size trees. The western edge of the building pad is planted with eucalyptus. Ground cover surrounding the building pad consists of ice plant and ivy. The animal life is consistent with those species common to the area. The existing structures on the site consist of a single family residence (1 story) with • attached garage and pool with concrete decking. Please see attached photos. Edward Carson Beall and Associates Project: Dr. & Mrs Michael Weller #3 Flying Mane Road Rolling Hills, CA 90274 APPENDIX "B" ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING Item #21 Surrounding Property Descriptions: The surrounding properties consist of single family residences on lots ranging from 1.6 -acres to 2.6 acres. Directly below the applicants lot (to the west) across Southfield is #5 Southfield Drive an undeveloped lot of 1.8 acres. Surrounding residences are of 1 story in height, and have existing front setbacks (from roadway easements) ranging from 20' - 50' (applicant's front setback is 45'). ;s The vicinity consists of lots sloping downward to the west. Lots on the west side of Flying Mane Road have substantial ocean and coastal bluff views. The plant life surrounding the area is comprised of the same type of trees, grasses, bushes and ground covers, that occur on the project site itself, and that are common to the area. Animal life is consistent with those species common to the area. Please see the attached photos. Edward Carson Beall and Associates Project: Dr. & Mrs Michael Weller #3 Flying Mane Road Rolling Hills, CA 90274 APPENDIX "B" EXPLANATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS Item #22 C The existing ground surface relief features of the property remain unchanged. A minimal topographic change (change of grade) occurs in one area. The northwest corner of the existing (filled) building pad is to be extended to the west approximately 8 feet. The resulting slope follows more closely the natural contours of the property. In conjunction with new grading there will be a retaining wall at the north west corner of the pad with a maximum height of 5', averaging 2.5 feet (per architectural committee requirements. Item 25 A Two eucalyptus trees will be removed for the new building footprint and ground cover in the area of new grading will be disturbed. Ground cover to match the existing will be planted on disturbed portions of the new slope. New trees of similar species will be planted on the new slope to replace those removed and to maintain windbreak. Item 37D Capacity of existing septic tank has not been determined at the time of application. If existing capability proves to be insufficient a larger tank will be installed at the existing location to meet county requirements.
