Criteria to be satisfied for grant of Variance
1. Original development at the upper end of Flying Mane was done with front
yard setbacks varying from 26 feet to 32 feet. The current 50 foot front yard
setback creates a unique situation in that all houses in the area are encroaching
into the setback.
The applicants house is currently setback 26 fee. The proposed garage
addition will be setback 30 feet and the breakfast room addition 39'. This is
consistent with the neighbor on either side that have setbacks of 31 and 31
feet. The houses on the opposite side of Flying Mane are setback 26'.
2. The proposed additions do not project beyond the existing building setback of
26 feet.
The proposed additions are consistent with both the character and scale of the
existing development on Flying Mane.
The visual impact of the additions are minor due to the existing building pad
being substantially lower than the elevation of the street; making the majority
of the house non visible from the street.
COMPUTATION OF BUILDABLE AREA
AND COVERAGE THEREOF
• A policy of the City is to address coverage of an identified
"EXISTING BUILDABLE AREA". Coverage thereof is based upon the
calculation of the "footprint" square footage of the residence,
garage, stable (barn) and other accessory structures, proposed and/or
developed on said "buildable area". A suggested coverage has been set
forth by. policy at 40 percent.
4
For purposes of this calculation, ."buildable area" shall be
defined as stated in Section 17.08.135 of the Rolling Hills
Municipal Code which declares existing buildable area" as the
portion of a lot that constitutes the existing building pad and any
other contiguous portion of the lot within allowable setbacks that
has an average slope of ten percent (10%) or less. If there is no
existing building pad, it shall mean that portion of a lot within
allowable setbacks that has an .average slope of ten percent (10%) or
less.

OWNER'S ACKNOWIQGMENT
Property development in Rolling Hills is governed by
ordinances of the City of Rolling Hills ("City") and by private deed
restrictions enforced by the Rolling Hills Cominunity Association
("RHCA").
The land development permit process of the City and the RHCA
are completely independent and separate. Both must be satisfied and
approval given by both the City and the RHCA to develop property in
Rolling Hills. An approval by either the City or the RHCA does not
mean or imply or ensure approval by the other.
The suggested sequence for property development is to obtain
City approvals first.
I, (We), the undersigned, acknowledge that the above statement
has been fully read and its admonition is completely understood.
