SUBJECT: TIME EXTENSION APPROVAL IN ZONING CASE NO. 661
To whom it may concern:
As you know, your approval in Zoning Case No. 661 would have expired on August 15, 2005,
unless grading or construction commenced prior to that date. A new provision of the Zoning
Code pertaining to time extension of zoning cases took effect on December 22, 2004. This
provision established an opportunity for applicants to request a two-year time extension of their
cases, rather than one year as previously allowed. Staff made an administrative policy to afford
those cases with one-year extensions the same benefit of two years extensions as other cases
that were approved after the code amendment took effect.
This letter is to notify you that the City Council at their August 22, 2005 meeting upheld staff's
administrative policy to extend your case, as well as several other cases for one more year.
Therefore, please note that the approval for your stable will expire on AUGUST 15. 2006,
unless aradina and/or construction commences prior to that date.
Please be advised that prior to obtaining a grading or building permit, you must satisfy several
conditions of the original Resolution, Resolution No. 2003-11, including recordation of the
resolution in the County Recorder's Office and submission to Planning Department of a
landscaping plan and a security deposit for the landscaping. Please review these conditions.
Feel free to call me at (310) 377-1521 if you have any questions.

Mr Nealis,
Attached is a document that I requested from the Engineering Section of
the Fire Prevention Division. This is what is used to determine which
occupancies fall within the class of properties/structures that are
subject to Fire Department water and access requirements.
On page three is a heading for "Group U Occupancies". This is the
category into which agricultural buildings, barns and stables fall.
The structure at #5 Chuckwagon is, therefore, a "U" occupancy. As you
can see, in item "A" of this category, structures up to 1,000 square
feet are "exempt" from regulation.
This may be why this issue has not been a point of contention until
now. Previous structures may have been exempt.
I have been advised by Mr. McDuel of the Engineering section that this
document has been in place for quite some time and has been applied to
properties in Malibu, Santa Clarita and elsewhere.
If a structure exceeds the 1,000 square foot rule, then it is subject
to the water, access and fire protection regulations that apply to
residential structures.
I will continue to address the specific issue of the Chuckwagon
property with Engineering.

Roger Vink and I have reviewed the circumstances surrounding the easement given to
the RHCA by Jack Rode for legalization and preservation of a long established major
trail known as Lower Willow Springs. We felt very fortunate in being able to legally
preserve this beautiful trail that is so important to Rolling Hills. The agreement made
between the property owner and RHCA provided that the trail also be used as vehicular
access to the Rode property. At the time, there was no question of the trail area being
unsuitable for vehicular access since this access was already in use by the Association
maintenance staff to maintain this major trail to Hesse's Gap.
Mr. Bruce Kittrell, former owner of 7 Chesterfield also used the trail for vehicular
service access to his barn and for weed abatement purposes. Furthermore, Mr. Don
Thomas, former owner of 10 Chesterfield used the trail access for his maintenance crew
to use to maintain his extensive orchard and vineyard.
The Willow Springs trail is similar to many other vehicular access areas to horse
facilities existing in Rolling Hills.
Please let me know if you need any further clarification.
