Re: Completion of Hobby House at 11 Eastfield Drive
Dear Ms. Unger:
My family and I are new residents at 11 Eastfield Drive. As you are probably
aware, the previous residents started, but did not complete, the construction of a Hobby
House on the property.
This letter is to inform you that we are now working to complete the construction
of the Hobby House. We have retained the services of the original architect, Criss
Gunderson, to assist us with the completion of this project. We will work with Criss and
the local Building Department to ensure that the project is completed in an appropriate
manner.
Please feel free to call me at my daytime work number of (213) 670-3210 if you
have any questions.

RESOLUTION NO. 97-26
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
ROLLING HILLS GRANTING A VARIANCE TO ENCROACH INTO THE
SIDE YARD SETBACK TO CONSTRUCT RESIDENTIAL ADDITIONS
AND GRANTING SITE PLAN REVIEW APPROVAL OF SUBSTANTIAL
ADDITIONS TO AN EXISTING RESIDENTIAL STRUCTURE IN ZONING
CASE NO. 564.
THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ROLLING HILLS DOES
HEREBY FIND, RESOLVE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Applications were duly filed by Mr. and Mrs. Steve Strawn with
respect to real property located at 11 Eastfield Drive (Lot 54-EF), Rolling Hills, requesting
a Variance to permit the construction of residential additions that will encroach into
the side yard setback and requesting Site Plan Review for the construction of substantial
additions to an existing single family residence. During the hearing process, the
applicants' plans were revised to reflect the remeasuring of the swimming pool and the
withdrawal of the addition to the stable proposed to be converted to a hobby shop.
Section 2. The existing house was built in 1960. A stable was built at the
eastern portion of the lot in 1962 and a swimming pool was constructed behind the
residence in 1968.
Section 3. The Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public hearing
to consider the applications on August 19, 1997, September 16, 1997, and October 21,
1997, and at a field trip visit on September 13, 1997. The applicants were notified of the
hearing in writing by first class mail and through the City's newsletter. The applicants
and the applicants' representative, Mr. Criss Gunderson, were in attendance at the
hearings.
Section 4. The Planning Commission finds that the project qualifies as a Class
1 Exemption (State CEQA Guidelines, Section 15301(e)) and is therefore categorically
exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act.
Section 5. Sections 17.38.010 through 17.38.050 of the Rolling Hills Municipal
Code 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 same zone prevent the
owner from making use of a parcel of property to the same extent enjoyed by similar
properties in the same vicinity. Section 17.16.110 requires a side yard setback for every
residential parcel in the RA-S-1 Zone to be twenty (20) feet. The applicants are
requesting a Variance to construct residential additions which will encroach a
maximum of nine (9) feet into the twenty (20) foot side yard setback. With respect to
this request for a Variance, the Planning Commission finds as follows:
A. There are exceptional and extraordinary circumstances and 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 zone. The lot is long and narrow in shape with a
pad running across the lot perpendicular to the side lot lines making placement of a
residence on the lot difficult. In addition, the sloping topography and circulation on
the existing lot only permits appropriate development to encroach into the side yard
setback. The residence currently encroaches into the side yard setback, it is exceptionally
difficult to make improvements without continuing the existing building envelope
and much of the proposed encroachment is under the existing roofline.
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. The Variance is necessary because
development of the site in a manner comparable to other properties in the vicinity will
require some incursion into the setback on this site.
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. Development on the pad will allow a substantial
portion of the lot to remain undeveloped and the extent of the incursion is no greater
than what already exists.
Section 6. Based upon the foregoing findings, the Planning Commission
hereby approves the Variance for Zoning Case No. 564 to permit the encroachment of a
residential additions into the side yard setback with a maximum encroachment of nine
(9) feet, as indicated on the development plan submitted with this application and
incorporated herein by reference as Exhibit A, subject to the conditions specified in
Section 9 of this Resolution.
Section 7. Section 17.46.020 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 or structures, which
involve changes to grading or an increase in 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, may
be permitted. With respect to the Site Plan Review application, the Planning
Commission makes the following findings of fact:
A. The proposed development, as modified by the conditions of approval, 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, except as approved in Section 6. The lot has a net square foot area of
79,896 square feet. The proposed residence (3,712 sq. ft.), garage (547 sq. ft.), future stable
(450 sq.ft.), hobby shop (600 sq.ft.), swimming pool (554 sq.ft.), and service yard (96 sq.ft.)
RESOLUTION NO. 97-26
PAGE 2 OF 6
• •
will have 6,032 square feet which constitutes 7.53% of the lot which is within the
maximum 20% structural lot coverage requirement. The total lot coverage including
paved areas and driveway will be 15,101 square feet which equals 18.9% of the lot,
which is within the 35% maximum overall lot coverage requirement.
B. The proposed development, as modified by the conditions of approval,
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).
C. The development plan, as modified by the conditions of approval, follows
natural contours of the site to minimize grading. The natural drainage courses will be
preserved and continue drainage to the canyons at the southwest side of this lot.
D. The development plan will, based upon compliance with the conditions
contained in this Resolution, supplement the existing vegetation with landscaping that
is compatible with and enhances the rural character of the community.
E. The development plan, as modified by the conditions of approval,
substantially preserves the natural and undeveloped state of the lot by minimizing
building coverage because the new structures will not cause the structural and total lot
coverage to be exceeded. Further, the proposed project will have a buildable pad of
16,078 square feet and a total building pad coverage of 31.07%, and a residential building
pad coverage of 29.93%.
F. The proposed development, as modified by the conditions of approval, is
harmonious in scale and mass with the site, the natural terrain and surrounding
residences. As indicated in Paragraph A, the lot coverage maximum will not be
exceeded. The proposed project is also consistent with the scale of other homes in the
immediate neighborhood. Grading will be minor and required only to restore the
natural slope of the property. The ratio of the proposed structures to lot coverage is
similar to the ratio found on several properties in the vicinity.
G. The proposed development, as modified by the conditions of approval, is
sensitive and not detrimental to convenience and safety of circulation for pedestrians
and vehicles because the proposed project will not require any change to the existing
driveway.
H. The project conforms with the requirements of the California
Environmental Quality Act and is categorically exempt from environmental review.
Section 8. Based upon the foregoing findings, the Planning Commission
hereby approves the Site Plan Review application for Zoning Case No. 564 for a
proposed residential development as indicated on the development plan incorporated
herein as Exhibit A, subject to the conditions contained in Section 9 of this Resolution.
