Application -9-
B. How does the project preserve and integrate 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)? Explain how the project preserves and integrates existing
natural features.
The expansion to the existing home is on flate (level) land., The expansion
would be predominantly on grass areas and existing paved areas.
C. How does the site development plan follow natural contours of the
site to minimize grading? Extensive grading and recontouring of
existing terrain to maximize buildable area shall not be approved.
Graded slopes shall be rounded and contoured so as to blend with
existing terrain. Grading shall not modify existing drainage
redirect drainage flow unless into an existing drainage course.
Explain the nature and extent of the impact of grading and proposed
minimization on lots.
The addition will require minimum grading to the existing terraine. The
only grading will appear in the front driveway.
D. To what extent does the site development plan preserve surrounding
native vegetation and supplement it with landscaping that is
compatible with and enhances the rural character of the community?
Landscaping should provide a buffer and transition zone between

70% of existing landscaping.
Site Plan Review

undeveloped state of the lot by minimizing building coverage? Lot
coverage requirements shall be regarded as maximums and the actual
amount of lot coverage permitted should depend upon the existing
buildable area of the lot. Explain how the lot coverage proposed
compares with lot coverage square footage and percentages on
neighboring lots.
All the homes along North Middleridge Lane have a. large street front
appearance. 22 N. Middleridge is (8) feet lower than street grade, thus
making it invisible from the street and unassuming.

site, the natural terrain and surrounding residences? Setbacks
shall be regarded as minimums and more restrictive setbacks shall
be imposed where necessary to assure proportionality and openness.

setbacks of neighboring properties.
The home's setbacks are in relation to the surrounding area where most go
from sidevard to sidevard.
G. Is the site development plan sensitive and not detrimental to
convenience and safety of circulation for pedestrians and vehicles?
Explain how the number and types of vehicles relate to the driveway
location, design, trip data, landscaping and other on -site parking
or storage areas.
Tha driveway and court has been moved to side,, so you do not see the doors
from the street. Also the court is hidden from the neighbors by landscaping.

OWNER'S ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
Property development in Rolling Hills is governed by ordinances of
the City of Rolling Hills ('City") and by private deed restrictions
enforced by the Rolling Hills Community Association ("RHCA").
The land development permit process of the City and the RHCA are
completely independent and separate. Both must be satisfied and
approval given by both the City and the RHCA to develop property in
Rolling Hills. An approval by either the City or the RHCA does not mean
or imply or ensure approval by the other.
The suggested sequence of property development is to obtain City
approvals first.
I, (We), the undersigned, acknowledge that the above statement has
been fully read and its admonition is completely understood.

stated in Section 17.08.135 of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code which
declares existing "buildable area" as the portion of a lot that
constitutes the existing building pad and any other contiguous portion
of the lot within allowable setbacks that has an average slope of ten
percent (10%) or less. If there is no existing building pad, it shall
mean that portion of, a lot within allowable setbacks that has an•average
slope of ten percent (10%) or less.
