Dear Mr. Caldwell:
This letter shall serve as official notification that your request
for a modification to a condition of approval for lot line
adjustment in Zoning Case No. 416 is now null and void.
We have enclosed a copy of RESOLUTION NO. 91-9 and RESOLUTION NO.
90-32. As you will note in Section 4 of Resolution No. 91-9, the
trellis structure mentioned should have been removed by June 30,
1991, and has not been removed to date. Therefore, the extension
to the time period for the removal of the existing residence at 3
Georgeff Road, and the permit to issue the Certificate of Lot Line
Adjustment have been nullified and hereby revoked.
You may call me at (213) 377-1521 if you have any questions.

A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF
THE CITY OF ROLLING HILLS APPROVING A
VARIANCE TO THE MINIMUM LOT FRONTAGE
REQUIREMENTS AND APPROVING A CERTIFICATE OF
COMPLIANCE FOR LOT LINE ADJUSTMENT IN ZONING
CASE NO. 416
THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ROLLING HILLS
DOES HEREBY FIND, RESOLVE AND ORDER AS FOLLOW$:
section 1. An application was filed by Mr. and
Mrs. Craig Caldwell with respect to real property located -at
1 Georgeff Road (Lot 57-A-1-MS) and real property -located -at
3 Georgeff Road (Lot 57-A-MS) in the City of Rolling Hills
requesting a variance to reduce the required lot frontage for the
two lots created by the proposed lot line adjustment and request-
ing a Certificate of Compliance for a Lot Line Adjustment to move
the side lot line dividing these two lots so that a portion of
existing Lot 57-A-MS (3 Georgeff Road) is placed into Lot
57-A-1-MS (1 George!! Road).
Sect&on 2. The Planning Commission conducted a duly -
noticed public hearing to consider the applications on
January 16, 1990, February 20, 1990, April 18, 1990, June 19,
1990, July 17, 1990, August 21, 1990, September 15, 1990 and
September 18, 1990, and conducted a field site review on February
10, 1990 and June 30, 1990. -
Section_1. 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 other similar
properties in the name zone prevent the owner from making use of
a parcel of property to the same extent enjoyed by similar prop-
erties. Section 16.16.040 requires each lot to have.a minimum
frontage of 150 feet along a street easement line.
findings:
section 4. The Planning Commission makes the following
A. Special circumstances exist in that the total
street easement frontage for the two lots combined is less than
25 feet, thereby making it impossible to comply with the zoning
ordinance even for one lot. The two lots were created in 1956 to
permit two (2) residences on the original larger parcel. Number
1 Georgeff, as it exists today, has no direct access to any
street making it unique in the immediate area.
i
City.
B. Application of the 150-foot lot frontage require-
ment would deny the owner all use of both lots. The condition
constituting a variance to the Code already exists.
C. The granting of a variance would not constitute a
special privilege because the configuration of the lots as
originally approved is unique. The variance would permit the
owner the use and enjoyment of his property in a manner consis-
tent with -the present use of the property.
Section 5. Based upon the foregoing-findings.=t e =
Planning Commission hereby approves the variance -to -the -minimum
lot frontage requirement to permit a 22.5 foot frontage for Lot
57-A-1-MS (1 Georgeff Road) and no frontage for Lot 57-A-MS (3
Georgeff Road) as indicated on the lot line adjustment map
attached hereto as Exhibit A, subject to the-conditions_set______
forth in Section 8 of this Resolution.
Section 6. California Government Code Section 66412(d)
authorizes minor lot line adjustments without requiring a tenta-
tive 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
Section 7. The Planning Commission finds that:
A. The proposed lot line adjustment will create
two lots that will comply with the minimum lot size requirements.
Lot 57-A-1-MS (1 Georgeff Road) will cover a net 7.61 acres after
excluding easements and Lot 57-A-1-MS (3 Georgeff Road) will
cover a net 2.06 acres after excluding easements. The lots
comply with Section 17.16.020, imposing a minimum lot size of 2
acres excluding easements.
B. The two parcels created by the lot line
adjustment will conform to local zoning and building ordinances
because Lot 57-A-MS and Lot 57-A-1-MS have been granted a vari-
ance pursuant to Section 5 of this Resolution with regard to the
minimum lot frontage requirements.

C. Conditions have been imposed upon approval of
this lot line adjustment to ensure that the parcels created will
conform to local zoning and building ordinances. These condi-
tions require that the existing trellis structure constructed for
recreational vehicle parking and which is located on Lot
57-A-1-MS will be brought into compliance with local zoning and
building ordinances, and that each lot will have lawful vehicular
access off of Georgeff Road.
Bection J. Based upon the foregoing findings, the
- Planning Commission hereby approves a Certificate of Compliance
fbr a lot line adjustment for Lots 57-A-rss-and-57-A=1=M5-pursuant
to California Government Code Section 66412(d) as indicated on
the attached lot line adjustment map attached hereto as
Exhibit A, subject to the following conditions:
A. A Grant of -Driveway -Easement -shall -be
prepared and recorded with the Los Angeles County Recorder's
Officer with respect to Lots 57-A-1-MS (1 Georgeff Road) and
57-A-MS (3 Georgeff Road) to reserve for the benefit of Lot
57-A-MB a non-exclusive appurtenant easement for driveway
purposes over a portion of Lot 57-A-1-MS. A conformed copy of
the recorded easement shall be filed with the City's Principal
Planner prior to the issuance of the City's Certification of Lot
Line Adjustment. The easement shall be configured in such a
manner as to ensure that the intersection of the driveway access
for Lot 57-A-MS and the street easement is located upon Lot 57-A-
1-MS. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Easement referred to
above may be removed by the owners of the subject property if the
Rolling Hills Community Association provides written notice to
the City of its approval of driveway access to Lot 57-A-MS
directly to that Lot from the street easement.
B. The applicant shall obtain the approval of
the Rolling Hills Community Association, the County of Los
Angeles Department of Building and Safety and all other necessary
permits and approvals required by law to legally maintain the
existing trellis structure constructed for purposes of screening
parking vehicles, which are located on Lot 57-A-1-MS. If all
required approvals are not obtained within 90 days of the
approval of this Resolution, the structure shall be removed
within 30 days thereafter.
C. The Certificate of Lot Line Adjustment shall
not be issued until the existing residential structure located at
3 Georgeff Road is removed. Removal of such structure shall
occur within six (6) months of the approval of'this Resolution.

RESOLUTION NO. 90-24
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF ROLLING HILLS GRANTING A VARIANCE FOR
COOKING/KITCHEN FACILITIES IN A PAVILION/CABANA, A
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR A PAVILION/CABANA, AND A
SITE PLAN REVIEW APPROVAL FOR A PAVILION/CABANA IN
ZONING CASE NO. 416
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. Craig
Caldwell with respect to real property located at 1 Georgeff Road,
Rolling Hills (Lot 57-A-1-MS) requesting a variance to install
Cooking/Kitchen facilities in a Pavilion/Cabana, a Conditional Use
Permit to construct and maintain a detached Pavilion/Cabana on said
property and for Site Plan Review approval of the proposed
Pavilion/Cabana.
Section 2. The Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed
public hearing to consider the application on January 16, 1990,
February 20, 1990, April 18, 1990, June 19, 1990 and July 17, 1990
and conducted a field site review on February 10, 1990 and June 30,
1990.
Section 3. Sections 17.32.010 through 17.32.030 permit
approval of a variance form the standards and requirements of the
Zoning Ordinance when exceptional or extraordinary circumstances
applicable to the property and not applicable 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 17.16.012 (G) prohibits cooking or kitchen facilities in a
cabana. The applicant is requesting to install cooking/kitchen
facilities in the proposed Pavilion/Cabana.
Section 4. The Planning Commission makes the following
findings:
A. There are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or
conditions applicable to the property or the intended use that do not
apply generally to the other property or class or use in the same
vicinity and zone because due to the development pattern of the
property, the location of the pavilion/cabana structure is far
removed from the residence.
B. The variance is necessary for the preservation 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 granting of the variance will not be a special
privilege since the subject site is large and can accommodate
detached accessory structures that have been commonly constructed in
the neighborhood.
• •
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 improvements will not visually impact the
surrounding properties, and other conditions have been incorporated
to addresspotential impacts.
Section 5. Based on the foregoing findings, the Planning
Commission hereby approves the Variance for Zoning Case No. 416 to
permit installation of cooking/facilities within a detached pavilion/
cabana structure which is accessory to an existing tennis court as
indicated in the Development Plan submitted with this application and
incorporated herein by reference as Exhibit A, subject to the
conditions set forth in Section 11 of this Resolution.
Section 6. Section 17.16.012 (G) of the Municipal Code
requires a Conditional Use Permit to construct and maintain a
detached 1,164 square foot, one story pavilion/cabana structure which
is accessory to an existing tennis court.
Section 7. The Planning Commission makes the following
findings:
A. The granting of a Conditional Use Permit would be
consistent with the purposes and objectives of the Zoning
Ordinance and General Plan; and be desirable to the public
convenience and welfare because the proposed
pavilion/cabana would have minimal impact to the site and
surrounding properties since the pavilion/cabana will be
secluded from the house, surrounding residences and the
roadway. Further, existing landscaping that provides
screening will remain.
B. The granting of a Conditional Use Permit would be
consistent with the purposes and objectives of the Zoning
Ordinance and General Plan, because the proposed project
will be mostly an open structure, comply with the height
and setback requirements, and its size will not cause the
total lot coverage of all structures on the site to exceed
the twenty percent maximum structural lot coverage.
Further the project required minor grading to create a
grading pad that is cut into the ground , and thereby will
be compatible with the site and surrounding properties.
Section 8. Based upon the foregoing findings, the Planning
Commission hereby approves the Conditional Use Permit for Zoning Case
No. 416 to construct and maintain a pavilion/cabana as indicated on
the development plan submitted with the application and incorporated
herein by reference as Exhibit A subject to the conditions set forth
in Section 11 of this Resolution.
Section 9. Section.17.34.010 requires a development plan
to be submitted for site plan review and approval before any building
or structure may be constructed or any expansion, addition,
alteration or repair to existing buildings may be made which involve
changes to grading or an increase to the size of the building or
structure by more than twenty-five (25%) in any thirty-six (36) month
period.
Section 10. The Planning Commission makes the following
findings of fact:
A. The proposed development is compatible with the General
Plan, the Zoning Ordinance and surrounding uses because the
proposed structure complies with the General Plan
requirement of low profile, low density residential
development with sufficient open space between surrounding
structures. .The project conforms to Zoning Code setback
and lot coverage requirements. The lot has a net square
foot area of 203,369 square feet. The proposed
pavilion/cabana existing residence, garage, swimming pool,
future stable, service yard and tennis court will have
20,909 square feet which constitutes 10.3% of the lot,
which is substantially less than the maximum 20% structural
lot coverage requirement. The total lot coverage including
paved areas and driveway will be 39,989 square feet which
equals 19.7% of the lot, which is within the 35% maximum
overall lot coverage requirement. The proposed project is
similar and compatible with neighboring development
patterns.
B. The proposed development preserves and integrates into
the site design, to the maximum extent feasible, existing
natural topographic features of the lot including
surrounding native vegetation, mature trees, drainage
courses, and land forms (such as hillsides and knolls)
because extensive grading for the pavilion/cabana structure
was not required and no further mature trees will be
removed. Further, the applicant will be undertaking
restorative landscaping requirements that have been
mandated by the Planning Commission. Further, additional
conditions of approval have been imposed accordingly.
C. The development plan follows natural contours of the
site to minimize grading because the project will be
constructed upon an existing building pad, thereby
requiring no extensive grading.
D. The development plan preserves surrounding native
vegetation and supplements it with landscaping that is
compatible with and enhances the rural character of the
community. The applicant, as part of this approval, shall
restore compatible landscaping on the property as
prescribed by the Commission through conditions of
approval.
E. The development plan substantially preserves the
natural and undeveloped state of the lot by minimizing
building coverage because construction will occur at a
secluded place on the site and as indicated in paragraph A,
the structural lot coverage is substantially less than that
is permitted.
F. The proposed development is harmonious in scale and
mass with the site and as indicated in paragraph A, lot
coverage maximum will not be exceeded since the subject
property is very large and can accommodate the proposed
pavilion/cabana structure.
G. The proposed development is sensitive and not
detrimental to convenience and safety of circulation for
pedestrians and vehicles because the pavilion/cabana will
be secluded and removed from the roadway beyond required
setbacks.
H. The project conforms with the requirements of the
California Environmental Quality Act and is categorically
exempt from environmental review.
Section 11. Based upon the foregoing findings, the
Planning Commission hereby approves the Site Plan Review application
for Zoning Case No. 416 for a proposed pavilion/cabana on the
property located at 1 Georgeff Road as indicated on the development
plan incorporated herein as Exhibit A and subject to the following
conditions:
A. The variance for the cooking/kitchen facilities within
the pavilion/cabana structure 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 Conditional Use Permit shall expire unless used
within one year from the date of the Permit is granted.
This approval, as indicated on "Exhibit A", is for an open
pavilion/cabana, with exception of the cooking/kitchen and
bathroom areas that are enclosed. As agreed by the owner,
should the pavilion/cabana be fully enclosed without
approval from the City, said structure shall be removed by
the owner and the Conditional Use Permit shall be void.
C. If any provision of the Conditional Use Permit is held
or declared to be invalid, the permit shall be void and the
privileges granted thereunder shall lapse.
D. It is declared and made a condition of the Permit that
if any conditions thereof are violated, the Permit shall be
suspended and the privileges granted thereunder shall
lapse; provided that the applicant has been given written
notice to cease such violation and has failed to do so for
a period of thirty (30) days.
E. All requirements -of the Zoning Ordinance and of the
zone in which the subject property is located must be
complied with unless otherwise set forth in the Permit, or
shown otherwise on an approved plan.
F. The lot shall be developed and maintained in
substantial conformance with the site plan on file marked
Exhibit A except as otherwise provided in these
conditions.
G. Renting, leasing or any commercial use of the
pavilion/cabana is prohibited.
H. A landscaping plan must be submitted to the City of
Rolling Hills Planning Department staff for approval. The
plan submitted must comply with the purpose and intent of
the Site Plan Review Ordinance. A bond in the amount of
the cost estimate for the landscaping plus 15% may be
required to be posted and retained with the City for not
less than two years after landscape installation. The
retained bond will be released by the City after the City
Manager (or the landscape Committee of the Rolling Hills
Community Association, if appointed to act for this purpose
in place of the City Manager) determines that the
landscaping was installed pursuant to the landscaping plan
as approved, and that such landscaping is properly
established and in good condition.

Dear Mr. Chiong:
The City has received a request from Mr. Doug Mc Hattie of South Bay
Engineering and representing Mr. Craig Caldwell, to have the City of
Rolling Hills confer with the Los Angeles County Department of Public
Works on expediting their plan check for rough grading certification.
The City's Planning Commission has currently reviewed and continued Mr.
Caldwell's zoning application request for further information. Mr.
Caldwell has been discussing this and related matters with the Commission
since January 1990.
The matter is scheduled for the next Commission meeting on August 21, 1990
and I would anticipate that the item will be continued again without the
requested information. I would respectfully request that your review, if
all possible, can be expedited to receive the County reports by Friday,
August 17, 1990, 12:00 P.M. This short time frame is required so that I
may include the information in the Commission's agenda packet. Should you
have any further questions or comments, please do not hesitate to call me
at (213) 377-1521. Thank you for your consideration.

Dear Mrs. Frudenfeld:
Thank you for having the telephone conversion with me on the afternoon of
August 16, 1990 regarding the proposed project under Zoning Case No. 416
(#1 and #3 Georgeff Road, Owner: Caldwell). As I advised you, the
proposed project for a lot line adjustment and variance includes a new
driveway for #3 Georgeff Road which would be developed within the roadway
easement for Georgeff Road, but over a small portion of your property
within said easement. Further, as per my advisement, our records show
that you have received public notification regarding this matter and other
recent requests for #1 Georgeff Road. These public notices serve to
identify and provide information to neighboring properties that may be
affected by the project, and allow the owners of those properties to
present their opinions on the matter at a public forum setting. Your
comments, in favor or opposition, of the project are optional, but input
from the general public is valuable to the Planning Commission in their
gathering of facts to make decisions on zoning applications.
For your information, the Planning Commission will hear the continued
application at their regular meeting of August 21, 1990, 7:30 P.M., at
City Hall. Should you have any further questions regarding this matter,
please do not hesitate to contact me.

P.N. 2464-90 Page 2
The referenced geotechnical engineering report by American Geotechnical
indicates that the site was geologically stable and suitable for the proposed
improvements. It is understood the proposed subterranean racquetball court
will not be constructed.
Information obtained from maps provided by South Bay Engineering, site
observations performed during mapping of the site area, and information
obtained from the trenches, indicates that grading performed in conjunction
with the proposed improvements essentially consisted of placing relatively minor
amounts of landscape fill on the site. The estimated thickness and distribution
of the landscape fill is shown on Plates 1, 2, 3 and 4 (in pocket at back of
this report) . Plate 1 is a map showing the estimated distribution of the fill.
Plates 2, 3 and 4 are cross -sections showing the estimated thickness of the
landscape M. Geologic information has also been included on the,
cross -sections.
The purpose of the test trenches was to evaluate the thickness of the fill,
obtain geologic information, and allow the soils engineer to sample and test the
fill. Logs of the trenches are included in. the Appendix of this report.
No geologic hazards (i.e. active faults, landslides, etc.) are known by this
consultant to underlie the site. No features were observed during our site
visits which indicate the site is undergoing, or has recently undergone, any
major gross instabilities. Site geologicconditions are considered favorable
P.N. 2464-90 Page 3
for the proposed improvements. Geologic information obtained from the
referenced reports by American Geotechnical indicates that bedding within the
bedrock underlying the site area is somewhat variable. Information obtained
from the recently excavated trenches and mapping confirms that bedding is
somewhat variable and generally favorably oriented with regard to gross
stability of the bedrock underlying the site. At the time of our site visits,
the tennis court was completed and a pavillion adjacent to the tennis court was
under construction.
No structures should be placed on the landscape fill materials. As such, the
areas underlain by landscape fill are designated as "restricted use areas".
The areas shown on Plate 1 as being underlain by landscape fill were
delineated based on review of topographic conditions prior to and after
completion of grading, observations performed during geologic mapping .of the n
site area, information obtained from the trenches, and topographic
considerations.
if you have any questions regarding the information presented in this
as -graded geologic report, please call my office.

Dear Mr. Caldwell:

It has been observed that excessive exterior landscape lighting has
been installed in the rear of your property without a permit and
prior approval from the Architectural Committee. Please refer to
Architectural Minutes dated October 7, 1986 which reads as follows:
"Resubmit outdoor lighting with picture or design specifications.
All garden lights must be designed or equipped with umbrella -type
shade to cast light downward." Please submit an "as located"
lighting plan with a fixture brochure for the Committee's review in
an effort to obtain a permit.
Refer to Architectural Committee minutes dated February 17, 1987
regarding entry trellis which reads as follows: "Entry trellis
approved as submitted. Trim to match residence." It appears that
the trellis was constructed without an Association Building Permit
and not inspected by the Architectural Inspector. Please submit "as
built" plans for the Committee's review in an effort to obtain a
permit and clear the violations on your property.

Please note that after the check was not
negotiated for quite some time, a stop payment
was put on it after the April 18, 1990

to be either lost or that the city was not
going to entertain my application.
Per Bob Cardoza's conversation with you

Please proceed immediately.
