The property is developed with a 3,251 square foot residence, 490 square foot garage, 720 square foot stable, and 295 square foot service yard. An 850 square foot swimming pool/spa was administratively approved and is currently under construction. 4. In July 2002, the Planning Commission approved a lot line adjustment, between the subject property and 4 Cinchring Road, transferring 10,123 square feet of land from 4 Cinchring Road to this property. 5. The property is irregular in shape and abuts three streets. The lot is terraced, with two distinct building pads. The gross lot area of the lot is 73,949 square feet and the net lot area as calculated for development purposes is 49,297 square feet. ZC No. 691 CC 8/23/04 ®Pnnieri or, flucyclQd 6. Records show that the stable was built in 1971, and that the house was built in 1955. 7. No grading is proposed for this project and the structure already exists. 8. An area of 1,000 square feet is proposed to bet aside for a future stable and corral in the rear yard, with future access from Portuguese Bend Road. 9. More than 50% of the existing residence encroaches into the front yard setback. 10. The structural lot coverage, including the 720 square foot existing stable, which is to be converted to a cabana, and the 450 square foot future stable, is proposed at 6,106 square feet or 12.4% of the net lot area, (20% permitted); and the total lot coverage including the structures and paved areas is 13,773 square feet or 27.9% of the total net lot area, (35% permitted). 11. There are two existing building pads on the property. The residential building pad is 9,155 square feet, which does not include the level area in the front setback. The structural coverage on this pad is 4,086 square feet or 44.63%, and is pre-existing. No changes are proposed in this area of the pad. The swimming pool, cabana and the future stable pad is 14,400 square feet with coverage of 2,020 square feet or 14.0%. The combined pads total 23,555 square feet and will have 25.9% structural coverage. 12. Disturbed area of the lot will be 39.0%, which includes the future stable, (40% permitted). No additional disturbance is necessary for the conversion of the current stable to the cabana. 13. The Planning Commission placed a condition on this project that a landscaping plan be submitted to the Planning Department in connection with the conversion of the stable to cabana, and when the future stable is built. 14. Pursuant to the Zoning Ordinance, no sleeping quarters or kitchen or other cooking facilities are permitted in a cabana or detached recreation rooms. 15. It will be required that utility lines to the cabana be placed underground. 16. The Rolling Hills Community Association reviewed this project for architectural design and recommended approval. 17.

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 IN ZONING CASE NO. 651, FOR PROPERTY AT 2 CINCHRING ROAD AND 4 CINCHRING ROAD (LOTS 5-CH AND 6-CH). (MR. AND MRS. VIRJEE AND MR. CLEARWATERS). BACKGROUND 1. The Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. 2002-09, which is attached, on July 16, 2002 at their regular meeting granting a request for a lot line adjustment between two parcels, at 2 (lot 5-CH) and 4 (lot 6-CH) Cinchring Road. No new lots are being created and no new development on either lot is currently proposed. The vote was 3-0, with Chairwoman Hankins abstaining from voting due to the proximity of her property to subject site. 2. The Planning Commission considered this request on May 21, 2002, July 16, 2002 public hearings and at a field trip on May 28, 2002. 3. The area of existing Lot 5-CH, (parcel 1) is 1.58 acres gross, (68,826 sq.ft), and 42,124 sq.ft. net, which is less than the required 43,560 square feet; existing Lot 6-CH, (parcel 2), is 2.38 acres gross, (103,707 sq.ft.), and 84,663 sq.ft. net. Parcel 1, Lot 5-CH is the beneficiary of the land adjustment. Proposed Parcel 1 will be 1.81 acres gross, (78,949.5 sq.ft.), and 1.13 acres net (49,297 sq.ft.) and proposed Parcel 2 will be 2.14 acres gross, (93,583.5 sq.ft.) and 1.78 acres net, (77,608 sq.ft.). 10,123.5 square feet of parcel 2 is proposed to be transferred to parcel 1. Each of the lots is located within the RA-S-1 Zone and will be in compliance with the size requirements of such zone. • • 4. Each of the lots is developed with a single-family residence, garage and a barn. Both homes were built in 1955. Building Permits for the structures are on file with the Planning Department. As configured, no buildings are located in the area proposed for adjustment, nor is it proposed to be removed for the purpose of meeting the requirements for lot line adjustment.

Pursuant to the Subdivision Map Act, the Planning Commission and/or City Council 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 will be greater than the minimum acreage required in the RA-S-1 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 Parcel 1 is 386 feet and for Parcel 2 is 135 feet, which is less than the 150-feet minimum required by the Zoning Code. However, this is a pre-existing condition and the proposed lot line adjustment does not affect the lot frontage. Although Lot 6-CH will be reduced in size, each of the proposed parcels will exceed the required minimum dimensions. 6. The proposed Parcel 2, which will be reduced in size, will have a structural lot coverage of 4,665 square feet or 6.0% which is within the 20% maximum permitted. The total lot coverage will be 9,562 square feet or 12.3%, which is less than the 35% maximum permitted. The disturbed area of Parcel 2 will be 13.0%. 7. City maps show that there are 25-foot wide existing easements between the common side property lines beginning on Cinchring Road and continuing in an easterly direction, terminating approximately 130 feet easterly on the Virjee property and approximately 190 feet on the Clearwaters property. The Rolling Hills Community Association reviewed this proposal and determined that no additional easements will be required for either of the properties. • • 8. The existing structures on both lots encroach into the required front yard setback, and structures on lot 6-CH encroach into both side yard setbacks and easements. The proposed lot line adjustment does not affect these pre-existing conditions, as they are not located in the area of adjustment, and no further non- conforming conditions are being created 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. 2002-09.

CLEARWATERS LEWIS SOLOFF, SURVEYING AND CONSULTING MAY 11, 2002 Request for a Certificate of Compliance for Lot Line Adjustment to determine compliance with provisions of the Subdivision Map Act. BACKGROUND 1. The Planning Commission considered this application at the May 21 public hearing and visited subject properties on May 28, 2002. At the Field trip, the applicants' representative described the proposed lot lines. 2. The applicants are requesting that a new lot line be created between Lot 5- CH and Lot 6-CH, which would be perpendicular to Portuguese Bend Road. No new lots are being created and no new development on either lot is currently proposed. 3. The area of existing Lot 5-CH, (parcel 1) is 1.58 acres gross, (68,826 sq.ft), and 42,124 sq.ft. net, which is less than the required 43,560 square feet; existing Lot 6-CH, (parcel 2), is 2.38 acres gross, (103,707 sq.ft.), and 84,663 sq.ft. net. Parcel 1, Lot 5-CG is the beneficiary of the land adjustment. Proposed Parcel 1 will be 1.81 acres gross, (78,949.5 sq.ft.), and 1.13 acres net (49,297 sq.ft.) and proposed Parcel 2 will be 2.14 acres gross, (93,583.5 sq.ft.) and 1.78 acres net, (77,608 sq.ft.). 10,123.5 square feet of parcel 2 is proposed to be transferred to parcel 1. Each of the lots is located within Printed on Recycled Paper. • • the RA-S-1 Zone and will be in compliance with the size requirements of such zone. 4. Each of the lots is developed with a single-family residence, garage and a barn. Both homes were built in 1955. Building Permits for the structures are on file with the Planning Department. As configured, no buildings are located in the area proposed for adjustment, nor is it proposed to be removed for the purpose of meeting the requirements for lot line adjustment.

Pursuant 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 will be greater than the minimum acreage required in the RA-S-1 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 Parcel 1 is 386 feet and for Parcel 2 is 135 feet, which is less than the 150-feet minimum required by the Zoning Code. However, this is a pre-existing condition and the proposed lot line adjustment does not affect the lot frontage. Although Lot 6-CH will be reduced in size, each of the proposed parcels will exceed minimum dimensions. 6. The proposed Parcel 2, which will be reduced in size, will, have a structural lot coverage of 4,665 square feet or 6.0% which is within the 20% maximum permitted. The total lot coverage will be 9,562 square feet or 12.3%, which is less than the 35% maximum permitted. The disturbed area of Parcel 2 will be 13.0%. 7. City maps show that there are 25 foot wide existing easements between the common side property lines beginning on Cinchring Road and • • continuing in an easterly direction, terminating approximately 130 feet easterly on the Virjee property and approximately 190 feet on the Clearwaters property. The Rolling Hills Community Association reviewed this proposal and determined that no additional easements will be required for either of the properties. 8. The existing structures on both lots encroach into the required front yard setback, and structures on lot 6-CH encroach into both side yard setbacks and easements. The proposed lot line adjustment does not affect these pre- existing conditions, as they are not located in the area of adjustment, and no further non -conforming conditions are being created 9. Once the lot line adjustment is approved staff will prepare appropriate documents with legal descriptions for the adjusted lots for recordation. The Los Angeles County Land Development Division has reviewed the legal descriptions provided by the applicants' representative. 10. The project has been determined to be categorically exempt pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). 11. The field trip revealed that this application is relatively straight forward, and no concerns pertaining to this request were expressed by the Commission or residents. Therefore, staff prepared a Resolution of approval for Commission's consideration at tonight's meeting. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the Planning Commission adopt Resolution No. 2002-09 or direct staff as appropriate. • • RESOLUTION NO. 2002-09 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 IN ZONING CASE NO. 651, FOR PROPERTY AT 2 CINCHRING ROAD AND 4 CINCHRING ROAD (LOTS 5-CH AND 6- CH).

The existing sidelines of both lots are approximately at right angles or radial to the street. The proposed adjustment will allow the northerly side lot line of Lot 6-CH to be moved in a southerly direction and will remain perpendicular to Portuguese Bend Road. 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.

No development shall occur on the properties without first complying with all applicable City Building and Zoning requirements and other applicable rules and regulations. B. The lot line adjustment shall not in any respect limit or impair the City's application of the Site Plan Review Ordinance or any other discretionary review to Lot 5-CH and Lot 6-CH at such time as an application is made for development. C. The lot line adjustment shall not in any respect waive, release or be construed to supersede any restriction, dedication or condition set forth in Record of Survey No. 57-36, dated August 1946, and all such matters are hereby reserved.

AND MRS. VIRJEE AND MR. CLEARWATERS LEWIS SOLOFF, SURVEYING AND CONSULTING MAY 11, 2002 Request for a Certificate of Compliance for Lot Line Adjustment to determine compliance with provisions of the Subdivision Map Act. BACKGROUND 1. The Planning Commission visited subject properties on May 28, 2002. The applicants' representative described the proposed lot lines. 2. The applicants are requesting that a new lot line be created between Lot 5- CH and Lot 6-CH, which would be perpendicular to Portuguese Bend Road. No new lots are being created and no new development on either lot is currently proposed. 3. The area of existing Lot 5-CH, (parcel 1) is 1.58 acres gross, (68,826 sq.ft), and 42,124 sq.ft. net, which is less than the required 43,560 square feet; existing Lot 6-CH, (parcel 2), is 2.38 acres gross, (103,707 sq.ft.), and 84,663 sq.ft. net. Parcel 1, Lot 5-CG is the beneficiary of the land adjustment. Proposed Parcel 1 will be 1.81 acres gross, (78,949.5 sq.ft.), and 1.13 acres net (49,297 sq.ft.) and proposed Parcel 2 will be 2.14 acres gross, (93,583.5 sq.ft.) and 1.78 acres net, (77,608 sq.ft.). 10,123.5 square feet of parcel 2 is proposed to be transferred to parcel 1. Each of the lots is located within the RA-S-1 Zone and will be in compliance with the size requirements of such zone. Printed on Recycled Paper. • • 4. Each of the lots is developed with a single-family residence, garage and a barn. Both homes were built in 1955. Building Permits for the structures are on file with the Planning Department. As configured, no buildings are located in the area proposed for adjustment, nor is it proposed to be removed for the purpose of meeting the requirements for lot line adjustment.

Pursuant 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 will be greater than the minimum acreage required in the RA-S-1 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 Parcel 1 is 386 feet and for Parcel 2 is 135 feet, which is less than the 150-feet minimum required by the Zoning Code. However, this is a pre-existing condition and the proposed lot line adjustment does not affect the lot frontage. Although Lot 6-CH. will be reduced in size, each of the proposed parcels will exceed minimum dimensions. 6. The proposed Parcel 2, which will be reduced in size, will have a structural lot coverage of 4,665 square feet or 6.0% which is within the 20% maximum permitted. The total lot coverage will be 9,562 square feet or 12.3%, which is less than the 35% maximum permitted. The disturbed area of Parcel 2 will be 13.0%. 7. City maps show that there are 25 foot wide existing easements between the common side property lines beginning on Cinchring Road and continuing in an easterly direction, terminating approximately 130 feet easterly on the Virjee property and approximately 190 feet on the Clearwaters property. The Rolling Hills Community Association reviewed • • this proposal and determined that no additional easements will be required for either of the properties. 8. The existing structures on both lots encroach into the required front yard setback, and structures on lot 6-CH encroach into both side yard setbacks and easements. The proposed lot line adjustment does not affect these pre- existing conditions, as they are not located in the area of adjustment, and no further non -conforming conditions are being created 9. Once the lot line adjustment is approved staff will prepare appropriate documents with legal descriptions for the adjusted lots for recordation. The Los Angeles County Land Development Division has reviewed the legal descriptions provided by the applicants' representative. 10. The project has been determined to be categorically exempt pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). 11. The field trip revealed that this application is relatively straight forward, and no concerns pertaining to this request were expressed by the Commission or residents. Therefore, staff prepared a Resolution of approval for Commission's consideration at tonight's meeting. The Commission may act on this resolution tonight or direct staff to bring back a resolution of either approval or denial for the next meeting RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the Planning Commission adopt Resolution No. 2002-09 or direct staff as appropriate. • • RESOLUTION NO. 2002-09 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 IN ZONING CASE NO. 651, FOR PROPERTY AT 2 CINCHRING ROAD AND 4 CINCHRING ROAD (LOTS 5-CH AND 6- CH). (MR. AND MRS. VIRJEE AND MR. CLEARWATERS) 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. Framroze Virjee and Mr. Lon R. Clearwaters with respect to real property located at 2 Cinchring Road and 4 Cinchring Road, (irregular Lots 5-CH and 6-CH), requesting a Certificate of Compliance for a Lot Line Adjustment to move the side lot line dividing these two parcels so that a portion of the triangular part of existing Lot 6-CH is transferred to Lot 5-CH. The rear or easterly property line of Lot 5-CH is proposed to be relocated further east and be parallel to Portuguese Bend Road. 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 21, 2002 and at a field trip visit on May 28, 2002. 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-1 Zone shall have a net area of not less than forty-three thousand' five hundred sixty square feet (1.0 acre). Both lots are located in the RA-S-1 Zone. The proposed lot line adjustment will result in Lot 5-CH to be 1.13 net acres and Lot 6-CH to be 1.78 net acres after excluding roadway easements. RES.O. NO. 2002-09 PAGE 1 OF 4 • • 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 the street. The proposed adjustment will allow the northerly side lot line of Lot 6-CH to be moved in a southerly direction and will remain perpendicular to Portuguese Bend Road. 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 adjustment will not require the relocation of existing easements and pursuant to Rolling Hills Community Association no new easements are required to be dedicated. D. Conditions have been attached to this approval which provide that the proposed adjustment will not impair or limit the City's application of the Site Plan Review Ordinance to any future development of Lot 5-CH or Lot 6-CH. Section 6. In accordance with the foregoing findings, a Conditional Certificate of Compliance for lot line adjustment sought in Zoning Case No 651 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. The lot line adjustment shall not in any way constitute any representation that Lot 5-CH and Lot 6-CH can be redeveloped in compliance with current zoning and building ordinance standards although a single family residence exists on each lot. No development shall occur on the properties without first complying with all applicable City Building and Zoning requirements and other applicable rules and regulations. B. The lot line adjustment shall not in any respect limit or impair the City's application of the Site Plan Review Ordinance or any other discretionary review to Lot 5-CH and Lot 6-CH at such time as an application is made for development. C. The lot line adjustment shall not in any respect waive, release or be construed to supersede any restriction, dedication or condition set forth in Record of Survey No. 57-36, dated August 1946, and all such matters are hereby reserved. D. The Certificate of Lot Line Adjustment shall not be issued until a legal description complying with the delineation of adjustment, are 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 execute an Affidavit of Acceptance of all conditions or this Lot Line Adjustment shall not be effective. RES.O.

AND MRS. VIRJEE AND MR. CLEARWATERS LEWIS SOLOFF, SURVEYING AND CONSULTING MAY 11, 2002 Request for a Certificate of Compliance for Lot Line Adjustment to determine compliance with provisions of the Subdivision Map Act. BACKGROUND 1. The Planning Commission scheduled a site visit to subject properties on Tuesday, May 28, 2002. 2. The applicants are requesting that a new lot line be created between Lot 5-CH and Lot 6-CH, which would be perpendicular to Portuguese Bend Road. No new lots are being created and no new development on either'lot is currently proposed. 3. The area of existing Lot 5-CH, (parcel 1) is 1.58 acres gross, (68,826 sq.ft), and 42,124 sq.ft. net, which is less than the required 43,560 square feet; existing Lot 6-CH, (parcel 2), is 2.38 acres gross, (103,707 sq.ft.), and 84,663 sq.ft. net. Parcel 1, Lot 5-CG is the beneficiary of the land adjustment. Proposed Parcel 1 will be 1.81 acres gross, (78,949.5 sq.ft.), and 1.13 acres net (49,297 sq.ft.) and proposed Parcel 2 will be 2.14 acres gross, (93,583.5 sq.ft.) and 1.78 acres net, (77,608 sq.ft.). 10,123.5 square feet of parcel 2 is proposed to be transferred to parcel 1. Each of the lots is located within the RA-S-1 Zone and will be in compliance with the size requirements of such zone. Printed on Recycled Paper. • • 4. Each of the lots is developed with a single-family residence, garage and a barn. Both homes were built in 1955. Building Permits for the structures are on file with the Planning Department. As configured, no buildings are located in the area proposed for adjustment, nor is it proposed to be removed for the purpose of meeting the requirements for lot line adjustment.

Pursuant 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 will be greater than the minimum acreage required in the RA-S-1 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 Parcel 1 is 386 feet and for Parcel 2 is 135 feet, which is less than the 150-feet minimum required by the Zoning Code. However, this is a pre-existing condition and the proposed lot line adjustment does not affect the lot frontage. Although Lot 6-CH will be reduced in size, each of the proposed parcels will exceed minimum dimensions. 6. The proposed Parcel 2, which will be reduced in size, will have a structural lot coverage of 4,665 square feet or 6.0% which is within the 20% maximum permitted. The total lot coverage will be 9,562 square feet or 12.3%, which is less than, the 35% maximum permitted. The disturbed area of Parcel 2 will be 13.0%. 7. City maps show that there are 25 foot wide existing easements between the common side property lines beginning on Cinchring Road and continuing in an easterly direction, terminating approximately 130 feet easterly on the Virjee property and approximately 190 feet on the Clearwaters property. The Rolling Hills Community Association reviewed this proposal and determined that no additional easements will be required for either of the properties. 8. The existing structures on both lots encroach into the required front yard setback, and structures on lot 6-CH encroach into both side yard setbacks and easements. The proposed lot line adjustment does not affect these pre-existing conditions, as they are not located in the area of adjustment, and no further non -conforming conditions are being created LY 9. 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 view the site and direct staff as appropriate. (310) 544-6222 e'oLLin9 oi-iLL6, community ldpaiation of dRa► a o Jn- a od.
