SUBJECT: TIME EXTENSION APPROVAL IN ZONING CASE NO. 678.
Dear Mr. and Mrs. St. Dennis:
This letter shall serve as a notification that a two-year time extension was APPROVED by the
Planning Commission at their regular meeting on February 15, 2005, for the subject case.
I have enclosed a copy of RESOLUTION NO. 2005-09, specifying the conditions of approval set
forth by the Planning Commission.
Note that this approval will expire on FEBRUARY 17, 2007. unless construction commences
on or arior to that date. The City Code does not afford any further extensions.
In addition, please be informed that the original Resolution of approval, specifying the conditions
of the case must be recorded in the County of Los Angeles Recorders Office before we would
issue you any building permits in connection with the project. I am enclosing the Resolution of
approval, Affidavit of Acceptance form and a letter sent to the original owners instructing them
to record the documents. Please review these documents.
Do not be concerned that the name of the applicant in the Resolution is different than your name.
The approval runs with the land, not with the owner, and therefore it doesn't matter who applied
for the project, it only matters who signed the Affidavit of Acceptance Form. Please make sure
your signature is notarized prior to recordation.
Feel free to call me at (310) 377-1521 if you have any questions.

RESOLUTION NO. 2004-03
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY
OF ROLLING HILLS GRANTING A SITE PLAN REVIEW
APPROVAL FOR CONSTRUCTION OF ADDITIONS AT AN
EXISTING SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE IN ZONING CASE NO. 678
AT 14 PORTUGUESE BEND ROAD, (LOT 56-A-RH), (MACLEOD).
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. and Mrs. John Macleod
with respect to real property located at 14 Portuguese Bend Road (Lot 56-A-RH),
Rolling Hills, requesting a Site Plan Review to construct additions to an existing
single family residence.
Section 2. The Planning Commission conducted duly noticed public
hearings to consider the application on December 16, 2003, January 20, 2004, and
at a field trip visit on January 17, 2004. The applicants were notified of the public
hearing in writing by first class mail. 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' representatives were in attendance at the hearings.
Section 3. 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 4. Section 17.46.030 requires a development plan to be
submitted for site plan review and approval before any development requiring a
grading permit or 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 by more than twenty-five percent (25%) in any thirty-six (36) month
period. With respect to the Site Plan Review application requesting 1,161 square
foot addition to the residence, 210 square foot addition to the garage, and 271
square foot covered porches at an existing single-family residence, 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 structures
comply 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 setbacks, except for the existing guest house,
and a small portion of the garage, lot coverage requirements, disturbed area
Resolution 2004-03
Macleod
•
requirements and all other development standards. The majority of the proposed
project would square off existing notches of the residence.
B. The project substantially preserves the natural and undeveloped
state of the lot. The proposed additions will be constructed on an existing
building pad and will utilize for most part already existing impervious surfaces.
The project is of sufficient distance from nearby residences so that the additions
will not impact the view or privacy of surrounding neighbors, and will permit
the owners to enjoy their property without deleterious infringement on the rights
of surrounding property owners.
C. The proposed development, as conditioned, is harmonious in scale
and mass with the site. The proposed project is consistent with the scale of the
neighborhood when compared to properties in the vicinity. The site was
previously disturbed and no additional disturbance will result from the
proposed project.
D. The development plan incorporates existing vegetation to the
maximum extent feasible. The development plan substantially preserves the
natural and undeveloped state of the lot and the new additions will not cause the
lot to look overdeveloped. Significant portions of the lot will be left undeveloped
so as to maintain open space.
E. The proposed development is sensitive and not detrimental to the
convenience and safety of circulation for pedestrians and vehicles because the
proposed project will not change the existing circulation pattern and will utilize
an existing driveway.
F. The project is exempt from the requirements of the California
Environmental Quality Act.
Section 5. Based upon the foregoing findings of this Resolution, the
Planning Commission hereby approves the Site Plan Review in Zoning Case No.
678 to permit additions subject to the following conditions:
A. The Site Plan approval shall expire within one year from the
effective date of approval if work has not commenced as defined in Section
17.46.080 of the Zoning Ordinance, unless otherwise extended pursuant to the
requirements of this section.
B. It is declared and made a condition of the approval, that if any
conditions thereof are violated, this approval shall be suspended and the
privileges granted thereunder shall lapse; provided that the applicants have been
given written notice to cease such violation, the opportunity for a hearing has
been provided, and if requested, has been held, and thereafter the applicant fails
to correct the violation within a period of thirty (30) days from the date of the
City's determination.

in an approved manner.

To whom it may concern,
Re: 14 Portuguese Bend Road
October 28, 2003
We moved into our home in summer, 1994. The present driveway was in place at that
time. We don't know when it was originally done, but it was quite old already then. Our
home was built in 1935-1936.
If you have further need for information, please feel free to contact us through Tom Blair.
We are happy to answer any questions.
Thank you.

Jud and John MacLeod
