Mrs. Sally S. Cornell, 9 Maverick Lane (Lot 27-SK) (Parcel 2) Mr. and Mrs. Mark Dessy, 8 Maverick Lane (Lot 26-A-SK) (Parcel 1) BACKGROUND 1. The Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. 98-9 on May 19, 1998 at their regular meeting authorizing the issuance of a Conditional Certificate of Compliance for a Lot Line Adjustment for property at 9 and 8 Maverick Lane. The vote was 5-0. 2. The applicants are requesting that a portion of the lot line between Lot 26-SK (Parcel 1) and Lot 27-SK (Parcel 2) at the terminus of Maverick Lane be moved 5 feet west at the southwest, 15 feet west and 32 feet northeast, and remain the same 94 feet northeast, thereby transferring a 735.28 square foot elongated triangle -shaped portion of land from Lot 26-SK (Parcel 1) to Lot 27-SK (Parcel 2). No new lots are being created. No new development on these lots is currently proposed. Mrs. Sally Cornell explains in the attached letter that the lot line adjustment is necessary to return the subject portion of land to Mrs. Cornell and to the Sally S. Cornell Living Trust. The purpose of the lot line adjustment is to transfer the land under Mrs. Cornell's sidewalk and sprinklers to her property. Printed on Recycled Paper. • 3. The area of existing Lot 26-SK is 2.86 acres gross and existing Lot 27-SK is 4.04 acres gross. Proposed Parcel 1 will be 2.84 acres gross and 2.50 acres net and proposed Parcel 2 will be 4.07 acres gross and 3.63 acres net. Each of the lots are located within the RA-S-2 Zone and no new lots will be created by this proposal. 4. The existing 3,550 square foot residence and attached garage on Lot 26-SK (Parcel 1) was built in 1958 with additions made to the residence and garage in 1990. Plans for a future pool are currently in plan check with the County. There is an existing corral at the site. The existing 3,049 square foot residence and attached garage on Lot 27-SK (Parcel 2) was built in 1956. There is an existing corral at the site. As configured, no buildings are located within easement lines or are proposed to be removed for the proposed lot line adjustment. jAi,iING PROPOSED Dessy Cornell Dessy Cornell 8 Maverick Lane 9 Maverick Lane 8 Maverick Lane 9 Maverick Lane Lot 26-SK Lot 27-SK Lot 26-SK Lot 27-SK PARCEL 1 PARCEL 2 PARCEL 1 PARCEL 2 Gross Lot Area 2.86 acres Gross Lot Area 4.04 acres Gross Lot Area 2.84 acres Gross Lot Area 4.07 acres Net Lot Area 2.50 acres Net Lot Area 3.63 acres Residence Constructed 1958 Residence Constructed 1956 3,245 sq.ft. 3,049 sq.ft.

SURROUNDING ZONING North: RA-S-2 (2-acre zone) West: RA-S-1 Zone (1-acre zone) East: RA-S-1 Zone (1-acre zone) South: RA-S-1 & RA-S-2 Zones (1 and 2-acre zones) 6. According to the Subdivision Map Act, the Planning Commission may not impose conditions or exactions on its approval of a lot line adjustment except to conform to local zoning and building ordinances. Attached is Section 17.16.060 of the Zoning Ordinance describing lot area and dimensions. • • Referring to Section 17.16.060(A)(2) Lot Size: Each of the two proposed lots is greater than the minimum acreage for its zone. Each of the lots is greater than the two acre net as required in the RA-S-2 Zone. Referring to Section 17.16.060(B) Widths and depths of lots: Each proposed parcel is irregular in shape. The abutting footage along the street easement line of proposed Parcels 1 and 2 are 80 feet and 120 feet, respectively, and less than the 150 foot minimum footage required by the Zoning Code. (Existing abutting footage along the street easement line is 85 feet and 115 feet, respectively, and less than the 150 foot minimum footage required by the Zoning Code). Lot 27-SK is an existing lot that will receive additional acreage. Although Lot 26-SK will be reduced in size, the proposed two parcels will exceed minimum dimensions. The greatest depth of Parcel 1 is 400 feet, up to 470 feet wide at the northern quadrant, and up to 687 feet wide at the lower section. The greatest depth of Parcel 2 is 425 feet at the northern quadrant, and up to 475 feet wide at the lower section. 7. The proposed Parcel 1 will have a structural lot coverage of 4,110 square feet or 3.8% that will be less than the 20% maximum permitted. The total lot coverage will be less than the 35% maximum permitted. The disturbed area of Parcel 1 will be less than the 40% maximum permitted. The proposed Parcel 2 will have a structural lot coverage of 3,800 square feet or 2.4% that will be less than the 20% maximum permitted. The total lot coverage will be less than the 35% maximum permitted. The disturbed area of Parcel 2 will be less than the 40% maximum permitted. 8. City maps show that there are 10 foot wide existing easements along the west, south, and east sides of Parcel 1 and a 25 foot easement along the north side. City maps show that there are 10 foot wide easements along the west and south sides of Parcel 2 and 25 foot easements along the east and north sides. No existing structures encroach into any of these easements. 9. The project has been determined to be categorically exempt pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Council receive and file Resolution No. 98-9. RESOLUTION NO. 98-9 A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ROLLING HILLS AUTHORIZING THE ISSUANCE OF A CONDITIONAL CERTIFICATE OF COMPLIANCE FOR A LOT LINE ADJUSTMENT FOR PROPERTY AT 9 MAVERICK LANE AND 8 MAVERICK LANE IN ZONING CASE NO. 576. 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 Mrs. Sally Cornell and Mr. and Mrs. Mark Dessy with respect to real property located at 9 Maverick Lane and 8 Maverick Lane (Lots 27-SK and 26-A-SK, respectively) requesting a Certificate of Compliance for a Lot Line Adjustment to move a southerly portion of the common side lot lines dividing the two parcels up to 15 feet westerly so that a 735.28 square foot triangular portion of existing Lot 26-A-SK is placed into Lot 27-SK. Section 2. California Government Code Subsection 66412(d) authorizes lot line adjustments without requiring a tentative 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 City. The City may impose conditions on the Lot Line Adjustment in order to make the lot conform to local zoning and building ordinances, to require the prepayment of real property taxes prior to the approval of the Lot Line Adjustment or to facilitate the relocation of existing infrastructure or easements. Section 3. The Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public hearing to consider the application at a regular meeting on May 19, 1998. Section 4. The Planning Commission finds that the project is categorically exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to a Class 5 exemption provided by Section 15305 of the State CEQA Guidelines. Section 5. The Planning Commission has considered .the evidence, both written and oral, presented in connection with this application and finds as follows: A. Section 16.16.010(B) of the Rolling Hills Subdivision Ordinance and Section 17.16.060(A) of the Rolling Hills Zoning Ordinance requires that each lot in any subdivision in the RA-S-2 Zone shall have a net area of not less than eighty- seven thousand one hundred twenty square feet (2.0 acres). The proposed lot line adjustment will result in Lot 27-SK being 3.63 net acres and Lot 26-A-SK being 2.50 RESOLUTION NO. 98-9 PAGE 1 OF 4 • • net acres exclusive of: (a) any and all perimeter easements measured to a minimum lineal distance of ten feet perpendicular to the property lines; (b) any portion of the lot or parcel of land used for roadway purposes; and (c) any private drive or driveway which provides access to any other lot or parcel of land. B. Section 16.16.020 of the Rolling Hills Subdivision Ordinance and Section 17.16.060(B)(3) of the Rolling Hills Zoning Ordinance require that in all cases where practicable, the sidelines of lots shall be at approximate right angles or radial to the street upon which such lot fronts. The existing sidelines of both lots are approximately at right angles or radial to Maverick Lane. The proposed adjustment will allow the westerly side lot line of Lot 27-SK .to be at right angles or radial to the cul-de-sac at the northern terminus of Maverick Lane. The proposed adjustment will allow the easterly side lot line of Lot 26-A-SK to be at right angles or radial to the cul-de-sac at the northern terminus of Maverick Lane. C. Section 1.6.20.230 of the Rolling Hills Subdivision Ordinance requires that ten (10) foot wide easements be dedicated for bridle trail and utility purposes over the strips and portions of land within and abutting upon the sidelines and rear lines of each lot. The proposed lot line adjustment shall continue 10 foot easements on each side of the adjusted lot line and will result in a 10 foot wide easement along the westerly side lot line of the adjusted Lot 27-SK and a 10 foot wide easement along the easterly side lot line of Lot 26-A-SK at the northern terminus of Maverick Lane. D. Conditions have been attached to this approval which provide that it will not impair or limit the City's application of the Site Plan Review Ordinance to any future development of Lot 27-SK or Lot 26-A-SK. Section 6. In accordance with the foregoing findings, a Conditional Certificate of Compliance for lot line adjustment sought in Zoning Case No 576 as indicated on the map attached hereto as Exhibit "A" is hereby approved as a Conditional Certificate of Compliance subject to the following conditions: A. There shall be ten (10) foot easements on each side of the adjusted lot line within the adjusted boundaries of Lot 27-SK and Lot 26-A-SK. The map attached to the Conditional Certificate of Compliance, referred hereto as Exhibit " A " shall delineate and note the easements specified in this paragraph. B. The lot line adjustment shall not in any way constitute any representation that the adjusted Lot 27-SK and the adjusted Lot 26-A-SK can be developed in compliance with current zoning and building ordinance standards. No development shall occur on the properties without first complying with all applicable City Building and Zoning requirements and other applicable rules and regulations. RESOLUTION NO. 98-9 PAGE 2 OF 4 • • C. The lot line adjustment shall not in any respect limit or impair the City's application of the Site Plan Review Ordinance (Ordinance No 221, 1988) to Lot 27-SK and Lot 26-A-SK at such time as an application is made for development. D. The Certificate of Lot Line Adjustment shall not be issued until a legal description complying with the delineation of adjustment and the required easements as specified in Paragraph A of Section 6 are submitted to, and approved by the City. Upon the City's approval of the legal description, the Conditional Certificate of Compliance shall be issued by the City, shall be recorded by the property owner in the offices of the Los Angeles County Recorder, and evidence of the recordation shall be returned to the City. E. The applicants shall record the deeds effectuating the transfer concurrently with the Certificate of Compliance for the Lot Line Adjustment and shall submit proof of such recordation to the City of Rolling Hills F. The applicants shall submit proof of payment of 1997-1998 property taxes. G. The applicants shall execute an Affidavit of Acceptance of all conditions or this Lot Line Adjustment shall not be effective. PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED ON THE 19 % • ' '• Y, 1998.

It is accompanied by an Environmental Information Form, a Lot Line Adjustment Application, a map, a deed with legal description, and a check for $1,700.00. The lot line adjustment is required because I transferred a small portion of my lot to #8 Maverick Lane to relatives who lived at that address. However, that transfer included land under my sidewalk and sprinklers. When #8 Maverick Lane was sold in 1989 through the estate of my then deceased calabash relatives ("Uncle" Alden & "Aunt" Beryl Ayers), a deed was prepared by the current owners (Mark & Jackie Dessy) of # 8 Maverick Lane granting to me land sufficient so that our lot line accurately reflects existing and historical use of the lots. The actual deed was to me as an individual. However, since that deed, I have created a living trust of which I am sole trustee and beneficiary while living. I will record the deed to me as an individual and a simultaneous deed from me to the Sally S. Cornell Living Trust, the actual legal owner of the property at #9 Maverick Lane. I am now seeking to have the lot line correction transaction formalized and approved so that the deeds can be recorded and everything put in order. Please contact me or my son, Craig, at 544-1925 with any questions. Thank you. Sincerely, �C igvidb Sally S.

The applicants are requesting that a portion of the lot line between Lot 26-SK and Lot 27-SK at the terminus of Maverick Lane be moved 5 feet west at the southwest, 15 feet west and 32 feet northeast, and remain the same 94 feet northeast, thereby transferring a 735.28 square foot elongated triangle -shaped portion of land from Lot 26-SK to Lot 27-SK. No new lots are being created. No new development on these lots is currently proposed. Mrs. Sally Cornell explains in the attached letter that the lot line adjustment is necessary to return the subject portion of land to Mrs. Cornell and to the Sally S. Cornell Living Trust. 2. The area of existing Lot 26-SK is 2.86 acres gross and existing Lot 27-SK is 4.04 acres gross. Proposed Parcel 1 will be 2.84 acres gross and 2.50 acres net and proposed Parcel 2 will be 4.07 acres gross and 3.63 acres net. Each of the lots are located within the RA-S-2 Zone and no new lots will be created by this proposal. 3. The existing 3,550 square foot residence and attached garage on Lot 26-SK (Parcel 1) was built in 1958 with additions made to the residence and garage in ZONING CASE NO. 565 PAGE 1 Printed on Recycled Paper. • • 1990. Plans for a future pool are currently in plan check with the County. There is an existing corral at the site. The existing 3,049 square foot residence and attached garage on Lot 27-SK (Parcel 2) was built in 1956. There is an existing corral at the site. As configured, no buildings are located within easement lines or are proposed to be removed for the proposed lot line adjustment.

According to the Subdivision Map Act, the Planning Commission may not impose conditions or exactions on its approval of a lot line adjustment except to conform to local zoning and building ordinances. Attached is Section 17.16.060 of the Zoning Ordinance describing lot area and dimensions. Referring to Section 17.16.060(A)(2) Lot Size: Each of the two proposed lots is greater than the minimum acreage for its zone. Each of the lots is greater than the two acre net as required in the RA-S-2 Zone. Referring to Section 17.16.060(B) Widths and depths of lots, Each proposed parcel is irregular in shape. The abutting footage along the street easement line of proposed Parcels 1 and 2 are 80 feet and 120 feet, respectively, and less than the 150 foot minimum footage required by the Zoning Code. (Existing abutting footage along the street easement line is 85 feet and 115 feet, respectively, and less than the 150 foot minimum footage required by the Zoning Code). Lot 27-SK is an existing lot that will receive additional acreage. Although Lot 26-SK will be reduced in size, the proposed two parcels will ZONING CASE NO. 565 PAGE 2 • • exceed minimum dimensions. The greatest depth of Parcel 1 is 400 feet, up to 470 feet wide at the northern quadrant, and up to 687 feet wide at the lower section. The greatest depth of Parcel 2 is 425 feet at the northern quadrant, and up to 475 feet wide at the lower section. 6. The proposed Parcel 1 will have a structural. lot coverage of 4,110 square feet or 3.8% that will be less than the 20% maximum permitted. The total lot coverage will be less than the 35% maximum permitted. The disturbed area of Parcel 1 will be less than the 40% maximum permitted. The proposed Parcel 2 will have a structural lot coverage of 3,800 square feet or 2.4% that will be less than the 20% maximum permitted. The total lot coverage will be less than the 35% maximum permitted. The disturbed area of Parcel 2 will be less than the 40% maximum permitted. 7. City maps show that there are 10 foot wide existing easements along the west, south, and east sides of Parcel 1 and a 25 foot easement along the north side. City maps show that there are 10 foot wide easements along the west and south sides of Parcel 2 and 25 foot easements along the east and north sides. No existing structures encroach into any of these easements. 8. The project has been determined to be categorically exempt pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the Planning Commission open the public hearing and take testimony. ZONING CASE NO. 565 PAGE 3 • • SALLY S. CORNELL #9 MAVERICK LANE. - ' ROLLING HILLS, CALIFORNIA 90274-5230 PHONE:(3 10) 377-'2778 FAx:(3 1 0) 544- 1975 City of Rolling Hills #2 Portuguese Bend Road Rolling Hills, California 90274 Thursday, March 05 1998 Subject: Lot Line Adjustment #9 Maverick Lane (and #8 Maverick Lane) Dear Friends at City Hall: This letter requests a lot line adjustment by way of granting to me a small amount of land. It is accompanied by an Environmental Information Form, a Lot Line Adjustment Application, a map, a deed with legal description, and a check for $1,700.00. The lot line adjustment is required because I transferred a small portion of my lot to #8 Maverick Lane to relatives who lived at that address. However, that transfer included land under my sidewalk and sprinklers. When #8 Maverick Lane was sold in 1989 through the estate of my then deceased calabash relatives ("Uncle" Alden & "Aunt" Beryl Ayers), a deed was prepared by the current owners (Mark &. Jackie Dessy) of # 8 Maverick Lane granting to me land sufficient so that our lot line accurately reflects existing and historical use of the lots. The actual deed was to me as an individual. However, since that deed, I have created a living trust of which I am sole trustee and beneficiary while living. I will record the deed to me as an individual and a simultaneous deed from me to the Sally S. Cornell Living Trust, the actual legal owner of the property at #9 Maverick Lane. I am now seeking to have the lot line correction transaction formalized and approved so that the deeds can be recorded and everything put in order. Please contact me or my son, Craig, at 544-1925 with any questions. Thank you.

Should the Planning Commission be inclined to approve this request without a field trip, staff has prepared the attached draft Resolution No. 98-9. •s Printed on Recycled Paper. • • DRAFT RESOLUTION NO. 98-9 A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ROLLING HILLS AUTHORIZING THE ISSUANCE OF A CONDITIONAL CERTIFICATE OF COMPLIANCE FOR A LOT LINE ADJUSTMENT FOR PROPERTY AT 9 MAVERICK LANE AND 8 MAVERICK LANE IN ZONING CASE NO. 576. 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 Mrs. Sally Cornell and Mr. and Mrs. Mark Dessy with respect to real property located at 9 Maverick Lane and 8 Maverick Lane (Lots 27-SK and 26-A-SK, respectively) requesting a Certificate of Compliance for a Lot Line Adjustment to move a southerly portion of the common side lot lines dividing the two parcels up to 15 feet westerly so that a 735.28 square foot triangular portion of existing Lot 26-A-SK is placed into Lot 27-SK. Section 2. California Government Code Subsection 66412(d) authorizes lot line adjustments without requiring a tentative 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 City. The City may impose conditions on the Lot Line Adjustment in order to make the lot conform to local zoning and building ordinances, to require the prepayment of real property taxes prior to the approval of the Lot Line Adjustment or to facilitate the relocation of existing infrastructure or easements. Section 3. The Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public hearing to consider the application at a regular meeting on May 19, 1998. Section 4. The Planning Commission finds that the project is categorically exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to a Class 5 exemption provided by Section 15305 of the State CEQA Guidelines. Section 5. The Planning Commission has considered the evidence, both written and oral, presented in connection with this application and finds as follows: A. Section 16.16.010(B) of the Rolling Hills Subdivision Ordinance and Section 17.16.060(A) of the Rolling Hills Zoning Ordinance requires that each lot in any subdivision in the RA-S-2 Zone shall have a net area of not less than eighty- seven thousand one hundred twenty square feet (2.0 acres). The proposed lot line adjustment will result in Lot 27-SK being 3.63 net acres and Lot 26-A-SK being 2.50 RESOLUTION NO. 98-9 PAGE 1 OF 4 • • DRAFT net acres exclusive of: (a) any and all perimeter easements measured to a minimum lineal distance of ten feet perpendicular to the property lines; (b) any portion of the lot or parcel of land used for roadway purposes; and (c) any private drive or driveway which provides access to any other lot or parcel of land. B. Section 16.16.020 of the Rolling Hills Subdivision Ordinance and Section 17.16.060(B)(3) of the Rolling Hills Zoning Ordinance require that in all cases where practicable, the sidelines of lots shall be at approximate right angles or radial to the street upon which such lot fronts. The existing sidelines of both lots are approximately at right angles or radial to Maverick Lane. The proposed adjustment will allow the westerly side lot line of Lot 27-SK to be at right angles or radial to the cul-de-sac at the northern terminus of Maverick Lane. The proposed adjustment will allow the easterly side, lot line of Lot 26-A-SK to be at right angles or radial to the cul-de-sac at the northern terminus of Maverick Lane. C. Section 16.20.230 of the Rolling Hills Subdivision Ordinance requires that ten (10) foot wide easements be dedicated for bridle trail and utility purposes over the strips and portions of land within and abutting upon the sidelines and rear lines of each lot. The proposed lot line adjustment shall continue 10 foot easements on each side of the adjusted lot line and will result in a 10 foot wide easement along the westerly side lot line of the adjusted Lot 27-SK and a 10 foot wide easement along the easterly side lot line of Lot 26-A-SK at the northern terminus of Maverick Lane. D. Conditions have been attached to this approval which provide that it will not impair or limit the City's application of the Site Plan Review Ordinance to any future development of Lot 27-SK or Lot 26-A-SK. Section 6. In accordance with the foregoing findings, a Conditional Certificate of Compliance for lot line adjustment sought in Zoning Case No 576 as indicated on the map attached hereto as Exhibit "A" is hereby approved as a Conditional Certificate of Compliance subject to the following conditions: A. There shall be ten (10) foot easements on each side of the adjusted lot line within the adjusted boundaries of Lot 27-SK and Lot 26-A-SK. The map attached to the Conditional Certificate of Compliance, referred hereto as Exhibit "A" shall delineate and note the easements specified in this paragraph. B. The lot line adjustment shall not in any way constitute any representation that the adjusted Lot 27-SK and the adjusted Lot 26-A-SK can be developed in compliance with current zoning and building ordinance standards. No development shall occur on the properties without first complying with all applicable City Building and Zoning requirements and other applicable rules and regulations. RESOLUTION NO. 98-9 PAGE 2 OF 4 • • DRAFT C. The lot line adjustment shall not in any respect limit or impair the City's application of the Site Plan Review Ordinance (Ordinance No 221, 1988) to Lot 27-SK and Lot 26-A-SK at such time as an application is made for development. D. The Certificate of Lot Line Adjustment shall not be issued until a legal description complying with the delineation of adjustment and the required easements as specified in Paragraph A of Section 6 are submitted to, and approved by the City. Upon the City's approval of the legal description, the Conditional Certificate of Compliance shall be issued by the City, shall be recorded by the property owner in the offices of the Los Angeles County Recorder, and evidence of the recordation shall be returned to the City. E. The applicants shall record the deeds effectuating the transfer concurrently with the Certificate of Compliance for the Lot Line Adjustment and shall submit proof of such recordation to the City of Rolling Hills. F. The applicants shall submit proof of payment of 1997-1998 property taxes. G.
