The grading for the Shoemaker's home is underway. The necessity to export the 300 cubic yards of soil was due to the change of a concrete slab floor on grade to a wood floor for the house. The grading quantities were initially made assuming a concrete slab on grade for the house. The floor has since been changed to a wood floor. With a wood floor an additional 300 cubic yards of dirt needs to be excavated to provide the code required clearance between the wood floor joists and the dirt under the floor. This was not foreseen prior to the commencement of construction. The grading for the Wolfenden home and barn at #60 Eastfield is underway. The additional 300 cubic yards of dirt is necessary to replace the large quantity of rock encountered during grading which is being exported to a disposal site out of the city of Rolling Hills. The quantity of rock was not anticipated prior to construction. We appreciate your consideration. If you have any questions or need any additional information, please call.

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. Jack Shoemaker with respect to real property located at'9 Maverick Lane (Lot 27-SK), Rolling Hills, requesting the following: (1) a Variance to permit encroachment of retaining walls into the front yard setback, (2) a Variance to permit encroachment of retaining walls into the south side yard setback, (3) a Variance to permit encroachment of proposed residential additions into the west side yard setback, (4) a Variance to exceed the maximum driveway coverage in ,the front yard, and (5) Site Plan Review to construct substantial additions that require grading to an existing single family residence. Section 2. The Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public hearing to consider the applications on August 15, 2000, September 19, 2000, October 17, 2000, November 21, 2000, and at a field trip visit on September 9, 2000. The applicants were notified of . the public hearing in writing by first class mail and through the City's newsletter. Evidence was heard and presented from all persons interested in affecting - said proposal and from members of the City staff and the Planning Commission having reviewed, analyzed and studied said proposal. The applicants were in attendance at the hearing. During the hearing process, plans were revised to accurately portray the location of the existing residence on the building pad and the reconfigured residence to the west so that the proposed building would be 3 feet away from the edge of the building pad at the east. Section 3. The Planning Commission finds that the project qualifies as a Class 1 Exemption (State CA Guidelines, Section 15301(e)) and is therefore categorically exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act. Section 4. 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 the front yard setback for every residential parcel in the. RA-S zone to . be fifty (50) feet. The applicants are requesting to encroach up to a maximum of 25 feet into the 50 foot front yard setback to construct a 99-foot long curvilinear retaining wall up to 5 feet in height at the south. With respect to this request fora Variance, the Planning Commission finds as follows: A. There are exceptional and extraordinary circumstances and conditions applicable to the property that do not apply generally to the other .property or class of use in the same zone because of the topography and irregular shape of the lot. The existing residence was built with a driveway that has a steep 20% slope. The proposed driveway will have an average 8.7% slope that is less steep and will enlarge the open space near the front of the residence. The required grading to .reduce the slope necessitates a retaining wall to preserve the integrity of the slope. 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 encroachment permits the use of the lot to the extent allowed for other properties in the vicinity. The Variance will permit the development of the property in a manner similar to development patterns on surrounding properties. This lot has an existing driveway that exceeds the maximum permitted slope. Other parcels in the vicinity do not have such a steep slope. 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. The proposal allows the owner to reduce the steep slope at the front of the property to bring it in compliance with Section 17.16.160 (3) of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code. Except as permitted in this Resolution, the proposed development complies with lot coverage requirements, preservation of the natural environment, and all other standards of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code. Section 5. Based upon the foregoing findings, the Planning Commission hereby approves the Variance for Zoning Case No. 621 to permit the encroachment of up to a maximum of 25 feet into the 50 foot front yard setback to construct a 99-foot long curvilinear retaining wall, as indicated on the development plan submitted with this application and incorporated herein by reference as Exhibit A, dated October 13, 2000, subject to the conditions specified in Section 14 of this Resolution. Section 6. Section 17.16.120(B) . requires the side yard setback for every residential parcel in the RA-S-2 zone to be thirty-five (35) feet. The applicants are requesting to encroach up to a maximum of 17 feet into the 35 foot south side yard setback to construct a 99-foot long curvilinear retaining wall up to 5 feet in height. 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 that do not apply generally to the other property or class of use in the same zone because of the topography and irregular shape of the lot. The existing residence was built with a driveway that has a steep 20% slope. The proposed driveway will have an average 8.7% slope that is less steep and will enlarge the open RESOLUTION NO. 2000-28 PAGE 2 OF10 • • space near the front of the residence. The required grading to reduce the slope necessitates a retaining wall to preserve the integrity of the slope. 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 encroachment permits the use of the lot._ to the extent allowed for other properties in the vicinity. The Variance will permit the development of the property in a manner similar to development patterns on surrounding properties. This lot has an existing driveway that exceeds the maximum permitted slope. Other parcels in the vicinity do not have such a steep slope. C.

Section 7. Based upon the foregoing findings, the Planning Commission hereby approves the Variance for Zoning Case No. 621 to permit the encroachment of up to a maximum of 17 feet into the 35 foot south side yard setback to construct a 99- foot long curvilinear retaining wall, as indicated on the development plan submitted with this application and incorporated herein by reference as Exhibit A, dated October 13,2000, subject to the conditions specified in Section 14 of this Resolution. Section 8: Section 17.16.120(B) requires the side yard setback for every residential parcel in the RA-S-2 zone to be thirty-five (35) feet. The applicants are requesting to encroach up to a maximum of 20 feet into the 35 foot west side yard setback to construct residential additions. With respect to this request for a Variance, the Planning Commission finds as follows: A. There are exceptional and extraordinary circumstance's and conditions applicable to the property that do not apply generally to the other property or class of use in the same zone because of the topography and irregular shape of the lot. The existing legal nonconforming residence was built with the residence encroaching up to 11 feet into the west side yard setback. This addition will encroach 9 feet beyond existing encroachments, a total of 20 feet, and is limited in area so as to expand existing open space near the front and rear of the residence. The existing residence and proposed addition are modest in size. Due to the severity of slope on the property, the existing building pad cannot .be increased in size. Accordingly, the encroachment is necessary becaise the proposed addition cannot be located elsewhere on the lot. 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 encroachment permits. the use of the lot to the extent allowed for other properties in the vicinity. The Variance will RESOLUTION NO. 2000-28 PAGE 3 OF10 • • permit the development of the property in a manner similar to development patterns on surrounding properties. 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. Section 9. Based upon the foregoing findings, the Planning Commission hereby approves the Variance for Zoning Case No. 621 to permit the encroachment of up to a maximum of 20 feet into the 35 foot west side yard setback to construct residential additions, as indicated on the development plan submitted with this application and incorporated herein by reference as Exhibit A, dated October 13, 2000, subject to the conditions specified in Section 14 of this Resolution. Section 10. Section 17.16.150(B) requires that driveways in the RA-S zone shall not cover more than twenty (20) percent of the area of the yard in which they are located. The applicants are requesting to cover a maximum of 33.3 percent of the area of the front yard with a driveway. 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 that do not apply generally to the other property or class of use in the same zone because of the topography and irregular shape of the lot. The proposed driveway design will provide safer access to the residence by providing an average 8.7% slope which is less steep than the existing 20% slope and will enlarge the open space near the front of the residence. The additional lot coverage is necessary to achieve the reduced slope of the driveway. B. The Variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoymentof a substantial property right possessed by other property in the same vicinity and zone, but which is denied to the property in question. The encroachment permits the use of the lot to the extent allowed for other properties in the vicinity. The Variance will permit the development of the property in a manner similar to development patterns on surrounding properties. 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. Section 11. Based upon the foregoing findings, the Planning Commission hereby approves the Variance for Zoning Case No. 621 to permit a driveway to cover a maximum of 33.3 percent of the area of the front yard, as indicated on the development plan submitted with this application and incorporated herein by reference as Exhibit A, dated October 13, 2000, subject to theconditions specified in Section 14 of. this Resolution. RESOLUTION NO. 2000-28 PAGE 4 OF10 • • Section 12. Section 17.46.020 requires a development plan to be submitted before any grading requiring a grading permit or 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. The proposed structure complies with the General Plan requirement of low profile, low density residential development and maintain sufficient open " space between surrounding structures. With the Variances granted herein, the project conforms to Zoning Code setback, and lot coverage requirements. The lot has a net square .foot area of 160,420 square feet. The proposed residence (3,866 sq. ft.), garage (769 sq. ft.), stable (640 sq. ft.), and service yard (96 sq. ft.) will have 5,371 square feet which constitutes 3.4% of the lot which is within the maximum 20% structural lot coverage requirement. The total lot coverage including paved areas and driveway will be 10,368 square feet which equals 6.5% 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 northeastern 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. F. The proposed development, as modified by the conditions of approval, is harmonious in scale and mass with the site, the natural terrain and other residences on Maverick Lane. As indicated in Paragraph A, the lot coveragemaximum will not be exceeded. The proposed project is also consistent with the scale of other large 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 compares 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 the convenience and safety of circulation for RESOLUTION NO. 2000-28 PAGE 5 OF10 • • pedestrians and vehicles because the proposed project will utili2'e the existing driveway accessway. H. The project conforms with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act and is categorically exempt from environmental review. Section 13.

Subject: Shoemaker, #9 Maverick Lane Date: 12 October 2000 Dear Lola, 10211U-E3 OCT OC T 1 7 2DO1 KITTY OR ROLLING` H MLLg w, Thank you for providing us with the time to take care of a few matters regarding the subject project. Since the last Planning Commission meeting where we were granted a continuance the following items have been revised to the plans for the proposed project: 1. Bolton Engineering has completed a physical survey of the property and specifically the building pad and the existing house structure. This resulted in the following findings: a) The building pad extended out farther than was previously indicated by the "aerial" survey. b) The existing house structure was larger than previously indicated. c) The areas have all been revised to reflect the more accurate method of surveying and have been verified by our office utilizing AutoCAD and we believe that the information contained in the survey and the area calculations to be accurate. • • 2. Following the input from the field visit we have readjusted the location of the proposed structure to address the issue of the "wheel barrel" rule and now have a clear walkway around the east end of the house. As noted in the meeting, the proposed home is only a three bedroom structure and as a small home to try to reduce it's area would be a hardship. In order to obtain the clear area around the home we moved the home five (5) feet west and three (3) feet north. The benefits of this adjustment result in: a) The creation of a clear "wheel barrel path around the east end of the house and moves it back onto the pad. b) An improved clearance between the home and the new driveway. c) Preservation of an existing tree on the east end of the house. 3. Additionally we have eliminated the upper off street parking area and reduced the width of the new driveway from 14 feet to 12 feet to minimize the impact of any of the front coverage. We believe that all of these revisions are beneficial to the overall design of the home and do not result in any negative impacts to any of the neighbors or the community and further the intent and spirit of the current planning regulations.

The reason for this is to obtain a revised survey from Bolton Engineering and to then incorporate the comments I received from the commission members during the site visit. It was noted that there appeared to be a discrepancy in the existing structures footprint, and prompted by this and my own concerns we discovered that the engineer had indicated the roof line, not the building foot print which is a standard in the profession. In my discussions with Bolton 1 also found that they utilize aerial topography and that any topography under trees and shrubs are then completed based upon assumptions, not actual field measurements. This is not acceptable to me and I've instructed Bolton to field verify all conditions and topography, it appeared that the pad is larger than he indicated and this may allow for the "wheel barrel" rule to work with the existing design, or with some very minor reorientation of the proposed structure. Finally, Bolton will also indicate the structures location on the site, not the roof. I intend on appearing at tomorrow nights hearing to clarify this request and will be open to any other comments from the commission. It is important to me to represent to you and the commission the accurate information for a proper basis of decision making, and I appreciate your cooperation with our request. Sin omas A.

BLAIR, A.I.A. ARCHITECT September 1, 2000 City of Rolling Hills Planning Department Re: Jack Shoemaker residence 9 Maverick Lane Application for variance: Issue 1). Exceeding 20% of front yard coverage of driveway. Due to the extreme slope of the existing driveway and the unmanageable and unsafe conditions related to accessing the current residence, the re -grading of the driveway is proposed. By the proposed design, a safer access and off street parkingarea is created. This will require a 10% increase of the current front yard coverage from the existing driveway. This small increase will allow for the safe use and enjoymentof the property without any negative impact, visual or otherwise, on the surrounding community.

As is clear with the existing residence, the current setback is significantly encroached. With the new design, the home is brought significantly closer to being,within the intent of the planning guidelines. Due to the small size of the building pad and limitations of the site, as well as the new plan being less than 1000 sq. ft: larger than the existing, some encroachment is required to further the goals of the planning guidelines. This encroachment is in a non -visible and very low impact area and will result in no negative impacts to,the surrounding community: 2785 PACIFIC COAST HIGHWAY, #149, TORRANCE, CA 90505 PHONE: (310), 791-9691.
