An application was duly filed by Mr. and Mrs. Steven Liu with respect to real property located at 3 Chuckwagon Road, Rolling Hills, CA (Lot 40—EF) requesting a Site Plan Review to construct 1,289 square feet of new above ground deck and to reconstruct the existing deck. A swimming pool is proposed to be located on the deck area. Section 2. The Planning Commission conducted duly noticed public hearing to consider the application at a field visit on April 16, 2013. 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' agents were in attendance at the hearing. No one from the public attended the meeting and no inquiries were received by staff regarding the proposed development. Section 3.

Section 4. The property is zoned RAS-1 and the gross lot area is 2.3 acres. The net lot area for development purposes is 85,412 square feet or 1.96 acres. The lot is located along a bend on Chuckwagon Road and has a frontage of approximately 500 feet. The property is irregular in shape in that it is long and narrow.
