Subject: Case # 585, Mr. Robert Barth, 29 Portuguese Bend Road,
Extent application for construction of Four Car Garage.
Dear Lola,
3706 WOODRUFF AVE.
LONG BEACH, CA. 90808
We submitted Grading Plans for proposed Garage to Los Angeles County Grading, for Plan check
and Geology on March 4 Th. I picked up Geology Corrections on March 22, and Grading
Corrections on April 5, 1999.
In R.D.S. letter, dated March 4, 1999, due to Soils report, our original foundation design required
us to excavate, and recompact approximately 320 Cubic Yards of dirt, above the allowed 15 Cubic
yards. This Grading Plan was approved by City of Rolling Hills and was submitted to Los Angeles
County Grading and Geology. Widening of drive was not included on this plan.
The Grading and Geology corrections required us to resurvey property, to provide additional grades
requested by correction lists. With this survey we found errors in previous survey. New survey was
indicating approximately 7000 cubic yards of grading required, excavation and recompaction, plus
grading required to widen driveway for Fire Department access. This was unacceptable.
In discussing alternate solutions with the Structural, Grading, and Soils Engineers, it was
determined to change the Foundation to Caissons with a Structural Slab. With this design, there is
minimal change in grading. This should reduce excavation and minimal recompaction to
approximately 200 cubic yards, including grading to widen driveway.
A revised Grading plan was prepared and submitted to the Soils Engineer, WESTERN
LABORATORIES, on August 31 St. Received revised and corrected Soils report for Caisson
Foundation design approximately September 22nd. Submitted to Structural Engineer, and
received structural Calculations for Caissons and Structural Slab on October 1st.
In revising Construction Structural Drawings, the Grading Plan needed some minor revisions,
which I just received this morning. The Construction Drawings and the Grading Plans are nearly
complete.
When we have the Construction Drawings, Grading Plans completed, the Soils Engineer,
WESTERN LABORATORIES and ROLLING HILLS planning Department needs to approved the
plans, for resubmitting to Los Angeles County Building Department. We also need to obtain
approval of ROLLING HILLS COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION which we plan on submitting plans
within the next couple of weeks, before final approval can be obtained from Building Department.

RESOLUTION NO. 98-21
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY
OF ROLLING HILLS APPROVING A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF A DETACHED GARAGE AND
APPROVING A REQUEST FOR SITE PLAN REVIEW FOR THE
DEVELOPMENT OF THE SAME DETACHED GARAGE AND
GARAGE AREA THAT REQUIRES GRADING AT A SINGLE FAMILY
RESIDENCE IN ZONING CASE NO. 585.
THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ROLLING HILLS DOES HEREBY
FIND, RESOLVE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. A. Applications were duly filed by Mr. Robert K. Barth with
respect to real property at 29 Portuguese Bend Road, Rolling Hills (Lot 92-1-RH)
requesting a Conditional Use Permit to permit construction of a detached garage and
requesting Site Plan Review for the development of the same garage and garage area
that requires grading at an existing single family residence. These requests were
consistent with previously approved but now expired Zoning Case No. 551.
B. Zoning Case No. 551 was originally approved by the Planning
Commission by Resolution No. 97-9 on June 17, 1997. The approvals involved the
construction of a 1,044 square foot detached garage on an existing lot that has one
residential unit. The approvals expired on June 17, 1998 because the applicant did
not request a time extension prior to that date in accordance with the Zoning Code.
Section 2. The Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public
hearing to consider the applications on October 20, 1998.
Section 3. The Planning Commission finds that the project qualifies as a
Class 3 Exemption (State CEQA Guidelines, Section 15303(e) and is therefore
categorically exempt from environmental review under the California
Environmental Quality Act.
Section 4. Sections 17.16.210(A)(4) of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code
conditionally permits approval of a detached garage with no specific conditions
unless imposed by the discretionary review process. The applicants are requesting to
construct a 1,044 square foot detached garage at the northeastern portion of the lot.
With respect to this request for a Conditional Use Permit, the Planning Commission
finds as follows:
A. The granting of a Conditional Use Permit for the construction of a
detached garage would be consistent with the purposes and objectives of the Zoning
Ordinance and General Plan and would be desirable for the public convenience and
welfare because the use is consistent with similar uses in the community, and the
RESOLUTION NO. 98-21
PAGE 1 OF 6
area proposed for the detached garage would be located in an area on the property
where such use would not change the existing configuration of structures on the lot.
B. The nature, condition, and development of adjacent uses, buildings,
and structures have been considered, and the construction of a detached garage
would not adversely affect or be materially detrimental to these adjacent uses,
buildings, or structures because the proposed detached garage would be constructed
on a portion of the secondary building pad and is a sufficient distance from nearby
residences so that the detached garage would not impact the view or privacy of
surrounding neighbors.
C. The project is harmonious in scale and mass with the site, the natural
terrain, and surrounding residences because the detached garage would comply with
the low profile residential development pattern of the community and is located on
a 2.8 acre parcel of property that is adequate in size, shape and topography to
accommodate such use.
D. The proposed conditional use complies with all applicable
development standards of the zone district because the 1,044 square foot size of the
detached garage does not encroach into any setback areas.
E. The proposed conditional use is consistent with the portions of the Los
Angeles County Hazardous Waste Management Plan relating to siting and siting
criteria for hazardous waste facilities because the project site is not listed on the
current State of California Hazardous Waste and Substances Sites List.
F. The proposed conditional use observes the spirit and intent of Title 17
of the Zoning Code because there is an existing stable and corral on the lot.
Section 5. Based upon the foregoing findings, the Planning Commission
hereby approves a Conditional Use Permit for the construction of a 1,044 square foot
detached garage in accordance with the Development Plan dated October 8, 1998 and
marked Exhibit A in Zoning Case No. 585 subject to the conditions contained in
Section 8.
Section 6. Section 17.46.020 of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code requires a
development plan to be submitted for site plan review and approval before any
grading requiring a grading permit and 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 at least 1,000 square feet and has the effect of increasing the size of the
building or structure by more than twenty-five percent (25%) in any thirty-six
month period. The applicants request Site Plan Review for the construction of a
detached garage that requires grading on a lot developed with an existing single
family residence, an attached garage, swimming pool, stable and service yard. With
RESOLUTION NO. 98-21
PAGE 2 OF 6
• •
respect to the Site Plan Review application, 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 with the
Conditional Use Permit for a detached garage approved in Section 5 of this
Resolution. The lot has a net square foot area of 103,005 square feet. The residence
(5,205 sq.ft.), attached garage (494 sq.ft.), detached garage (1,044 sq.ft.), swimming pool
(644 sq.ft.), stable (480 sq.ft.), and service yard (96 sq.ft.) will have 7,963 square feet
which constitutes 7.7% of the lot which is within the maximum 20% structural lot
coverage requirement. The total lot coverage including paved areas and driveway
will be 21,903 square feet which equals 21.2% of the lot, which is within the 35%
maximum overall lot coverage requirement. The proposed project is on a relatively
large lot with most of the proposed structure located above and away from the road
so as to reduce the visual impact of the development. The building pad coverage
proposed for the 23,187 square foot residential building pad is 29.4% and the building
pad coverage proposed for the 5,200 square foot pad for the detached garage is 20%.
The total building pad coverage will be 28.1%.
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 a minimum amount of grading is
proposed and will only be done to provide approved drainage that will flow away
from the proposed detached garage, residence and existing neighboring residences.
C. The development plan follows natural contours of the site to
minimize grading and the natural drainage courses will continue to the canyons at
the northwestern side (rear) of this lot.
D. The development plan incorporates existing large trees and native
vegetation to the maximum extent feasible. Specifically, the development plan
preserves several mature trees and shrubs.
E. The development plan substantially preserves the natural and
undeveloped state of the lot by minimizing building coverage because the new
structure will not cause the structural and total lot coverage to be exceeded. Further,
the proposed project is designed to minimize grading. Significant portions of the lot
will be left undeveloped so as to maintain scenic vistas across the northerly portions
of the property.
F. The proposed development, as conditioned, is harmonious in scale
and mass with the site, the natural terrain and surrounding residences. As
RESOLUTION NO. 98-21
PAGE 3 OF 6
indicated in Paragraph A, the lot coverage maximum will not be exceeded and the
proposed project is consistent with the scale of the neighborhood when compared to
this irregular -shaped lot. Grading shall be permitted only to restore the natural
slope of the property.
G. The proposed development is sensitive and not detrimental to the
convenience and safety of circulation for pedestrians and vehicles because the
proposed project will utilize an existing driveway at the northeast portion of the
property of Portuguese Bend Road for access.
H. The project conforms with the requirements of the California
Environmental Quality Act and is categorically exempt from environmental
review.
Section 7. Based upon the foregoing findings, the Planning. Commission
hereby approves the Site Plan Review application for the development of a detached
garage that requires grading at an existing single family residence, attached garage,
swimming pool, stable and service yard, as indicated on the Development Plan
dated October 8, 1998 and marked Exhibit A, subject to the conditions specified in
Section 8.
Section 8. The Conditional Use Permit for a detached garage approved in
Section 5 and the Site Plan Review application approved in Section 7 of this
Resolution are subject to the following conditions:
A. The Conditional Use Permit and Site Plan Review approvals shall
expire within one year from the effective date of approval as defined in Sections
17.42.070 and 17.46.080.
B. It is declared and made a condition of the Conditional Use Permit and
Site Plan Review approvals, that if any conditions thereof are violated, this
approval 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.
C. All requirements of the Buildings and Construction Ordinance, 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.
D. The lot shall be developed and maintained in substantial conformance
with the site plan on file dated October 8, 1998 and marked Exhibit A, except as
otherwise provided in these conditions.
RESOLUTION NO. 98-21
PAGE 4 OF 6
• •
E. Residential building pad coverage shall not exceed 29.4% and the
building pad coverage for the detached garage shall not exceed 20%. The total
building pad coverage shall not exceed 28.1%.
F. Grading for the proposed detached garage shall not exceed 15 cubic
yards of cut soil and 15 cubic yards of fill soil and shall not be allowed unless and
until detached garage plans are approved and a permit is issued by the County of Los
Angeles.
G. Landscaping for any exposed foundation of the garage shall be
landscaped and maintained to obscure the detached garage from neighboring
residences, to the maximum extent feasible.
H. Landscaping shall incorporate and preserve, to the maximum extent
feasible, the existing mature trees and shrubs and the natural landscape screening
surrounding the proposed building pad.
I. No sleeping quarters, temporary occupancy, or kitchen/cooking
facilities or equipment shall be permitted in any portion of the detached garage.
J. Prior to submittal of an applicable final grading plan to the County of
Los Angeles for plan check, a detailed grading and drainage plan with related
geology, soils and hydrology reports that conform to the development plan as
approved by the Planning Commission must be submitted to the Rolling Hills
Planning Department staff for their review. Cut and fill slopes shall not exceed a

Conditional Use Permit granted for Garage.
Completed Plans submitted to Rolling Hills Community Association.

Plan -Checker requesting Soils Report.
Obtained Bids for Soils Report.
Soils Report Ordered. Western Laboratories, Torrance.
Soils test done on Site.
Soils report Delivered to Drafting Service. Questions clarifying Soils Report
Requirements. Soils Engineer extremely back logged with work, took extra
Time to have report prepared.
Drafting service needs to Study report, consult with Soils Engineer.
Had to have Structural Engineering redone, Original Engineer retired earlier
this year. Structural had to be redone per Soils Report Requirements and
additional requirements requested by Building Dept. Plan Check.
Additional Consultations between Drafting Service, Soils Engineer and
Structural Engineering to control costs. Several options needed to be
clarified. Drafting Service extremely overloaded with work, could not
devote full time to Project.
Consulted with Building Dept. Plan -Checker. Can extend Permit application
For Six Months. Original Permit application expires Oct. 7, 1998
Plans being revised per Soils and Structural Engineering. Need to have Plans
Restamped by Architect, Soils Engineer and Structural Engineer, along with
Rolling Hills Community Association prior to resubmitting to Building Dept.
With work load of Drafting Service, would like an Extension until March
1999 to obtain Building Permit.
eMoss, I have also sent a copy of this letter to Craig Nealis. Should you have any questions,
e me a call.
