REVIEW FOR CONSTRUCTION OF A STABLE ON A PROPERTY
THAT REQUIRES PLANNING COMMISSION REVIEW, DUE TO
EXISTING STRUCTURAL DEVELOPMENT RESTRICTION
APPROVED IN SEPTEMBER 2002 AND WHERE A SINGLE
FAMILY RESIDENCE IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION IN ZONING
CASE NO. 694 AT 20 EASTFIELD DRIVE; (LOT 83-EF), (DYER).
BACKGROUND
1. The Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. 2005-14, which is
attached, on May 17, 2005 at their regular meeting granting approval in Zoning
Case No. 694. The vote was 4-0.
2. The applicants propose to construct a single story, 880 square foot stable,
which would require 98 cubic yards of cut and 98 cubic yards of fill. The stable is
proposed to be located in the side yard area.
3. At the April 19, 2005 meeting, the Planning Commission, after review and
deliberation, directed staff to prepare a resolution to approve the Site Plan
Review and Variance to exceed the maximum permitted disturbed lot area for
the construction of the stable and to deny the Site Plan Review. and Variance to
exceed the maximum permitted disturbed area for grading and construction of
the proposed swimming pool.
4. On May 5, 2005, the applicants submitted a letter requesting to withdraw
®Pru,te•cl orn Recyr;,i' d
•
the Site Plan Review and Variance application for the swimming pool. The
applicants submitted a new application for a swimming pool in a different location.
The Planning Commission is currently considering this separate pool application.
5. Originally the applicants requested a Site Plan Review for grading and
construction of a 720 square foot swimming pool and an 880 square foot stable and
a Variance to exceed the maximum permitted disturbed area of the lot.
Subsequently, the applicants proposed a 576 square foot swimming pool, which
required less grading than the 720 square foot swimming pool.
6. In September 2002, the City Council after taking the case under jurisdiction,
approved an application for a 4,458 square foot residence with a 693 square foot
garage and 1,440 square foot basement, which required 1,640 cubic yards of cut
and 1,640 cubic yards of fill and a Variance to exceed the maximum permitted
disturbed area of the lot (46.7%). A 450 square foot future stable was also approved
in the general area of the proposed stable. The residence is currently under
construction.
7. The property is zoned RAS-1, and the gross lot area is 1.47 acres. The net lot
area is 46,040 square feet. The stable pad will require 98 cubic yards of cut and fill
and is proposed to be 3,480 square feet.
8. The structural net lot coverage is proposed at 6,503 square feet or 14.1%
which includes the residence, garage, service yard, covered patio and the stable,
(20% permitted), (previously approved 5,697 square feet or 12.4%, which did not
include a covered patio area). The total lot coverage including the structures and
paved areas is proposed to be 10,280 square feet or 22.3%, (35% permitted),
(previously approved 8,971 square feet or 19.5% of the net lot area).
9. Building pad coverage on the 15,940 square foot residential building pad
will be 35.3%, which includes the covered porch, and will not change with this
proposal. Building pad coverage on the 3,480 square foot stable/ corral pad will be
25.2%. The combined coverage will be 33.4%.
10. The disturbed area, for which a Variance is required, is proposed to be
22,320 square feet or 48.6% of the net lot area. This constitutes an increase of 1.9%
from the previous approval of a Variance to construct the residence.
11. Access to the 880 square foot stable will be taken from the driveway off of
Eastfield Drive.
12. Drainage concept for this project shows that run-off will be carried in
underground pipes, and is proposed to be discharged into an energy dissipator
located near the northeast corner of the property.
13. It is required that the utilities to the stable be placed underground and
that the roof material meet City's standards.
14. The project has been determined to be categorically exempt pursuant to
the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
15. The Rolling Hills Community Association will review this project at a
later date.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council receive and file the staff report or
provide other direction to staff.
VARIANCE REQUIRED FINDINGS
A. That there are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable to the property
that do not apply generally to other properties in the same vicinity and zone; and
B. That such variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of substantial property rights
possessed by other properties in the same vicinity and zone but which is denied the property in
question; and
C. That the granting of such variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious
to properties or improvements in the vicinity; and
D. That in granting the variance, the spirit and intent of this title will be observed; and
E. That the variance does not grant special privilege;
F. That the variance is consistent with the portions of the County of Los Angeles Hazardous Waste
Management Plan relating to siting and siting criteria for hazardous waste facilities; and
G. That the variance request is consistent with the General Plan of the City of Rolling Hills.

A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF ROLLING HILLS GRANTING APPROVAL FOR A
VARIANCE TO EXCEED THE MAXIMUM PERMITTED
DISTURBED AREA OF THE LOT AND A SITE PLAN REVIEW
FOR CONSTRUCTION OF A STABLE ON A PROPERTY THAT
REQUIRES PLANNING COMMISSION REVIEW, DUE TO
EXISTING STRUCTURAL DEVELOPMENT RESTRICTION
APPROVED IN SEPTEMBER 2002 AND WHERE A SINGLE
FAMILY RESIDENCE IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION IN ZONING
CASE NO. 694 AT 20 EASTFIELD DRIVE, (LOT 83-EF), (DYER).
THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ROLLING HILLS
DOES HEREBY FIND, RESOLVE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. An application has been filed by Mr. and Mrs. Aaron Dyer
with respect to real property located at 20 Eastfield Drive, (Lot 83-EF), Rolling
Hills, requesting a Variance to exceed the maximum permitted disturbed area of,
the lot and a Site Plan Review for grading to construct an 880 square foot stable
at a property where construction of a single family residence was approved in
September of 2002 and is currently under construction. The September 2002
approval contains a condition that any future development on subject property
must be reviewed and approved by the Planning Commission.
Section 2. Originally the applicants requested a Site Plan Review for
grading and construction of a 720 square foot swimming pool and an 880 square
foot stable and a Variance to exceed the maximum permitted disturbed area of
the lot. Subsequently, the applicants proposed a 576 square foot swimming pool,
which required less grading than the 720 square foot swimming pool.
Section 3. In September 2002, the City Council after taking this case
under jurisdiction, approved an application for a 4,458 square foot residence with
a 693 square foot garage and 1,440 square foot basement, which required 1,640
cubic yards of cut and 1,640 cubic yards of fill and a Variance to exceed the
maximum permitted disturbed area of the lot (46.7%). A 450 square foot future
stable was also approved in the general area of the proposed stable. The City
Council took this case under jurisdiction and ultimately upheld the Planning
Commission's decision of approval. The residence is currently under construction.
Section 4. The Resolution of Approval of the application for the single
family residence (Resolution No. 923) contains a condition that the Planning
Commission must review any future development on the property. Therefore,
the request to construct larger than originally approved stable requires Planning
Commission review.
Section 5. At the April 19, 2005 meeting, the Planning Commission, after
review and deliberation, directed staff to prepare a resolution to approve the Site
7nnc_1a nyer 1
• •
Plan Review and Variance to exceed the maximum permitted disturbed lot area
for the construction of the stable and to deny the Site Plan Review and Variance
to exceed the maximum permitted disturbed area for grading and construction of
the proposed pool.
Section 6. On May 5, 2005 the applicants submitted a letter requesting
withdrawal of the Site Plan Review and Variance application for the swimming
pool. The applicants submitted a new Site Plan Review and Variance
applications for construction of the pool in a different location.
Section 7. The Planning Commission conducted duly noticed public
hearings to consider the request in, Zoning Case No. 694 for Variance and Site
Plan Review on September 21, 2004, November 16, 2004, February 22, 2005,
March 15, 2005, April 19, 2005 and at a field trip visit on March 15, 2005. The
applicants were notified of the hearings in writing by first class mail. Evidence
was heard and presented from all persons interested in said proposal. The
Planning Commission heard a report from the City staff and reviewed, analyzed
and studied the proposal. The applicants and the applicants' representative were
in attendance at the hearings.
Section 8. The Planning Commission finds that the project qualifies as
a Class 3 Exemption (The State of CA Guidelines, Section 15303) and is therefore
categorically exempt from environmental review under the California
Environmental Quality Act.
Section 9 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 for grading for the stable
pad and the restriction placed in Resolution No. 923 granted on September 23,
2002 by the City Council on any future development on subject property the
Planning Commission makes the following findings of fact:
A. The proposed development is compatible with the General Plan,
and surrounding uses because the proposed stable complies with the General
Plan requirement of low profile, low -density residential development with
sufficient open space between surrounding structures, and equestrian uses. The
project conforms to Zoning Code setbacks and the grading will be minimal.
B. The project substantially preserves the natural and undeveloped
state of the lot. The proposed stable will be constructed on an existing building
pad and minimal grading is required. The project is of sufficient distance from
nearby residences so that the stable 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.
?nn�_ia Flyer
107
C. The proposed development, as conditioned, is harmonious in scale
and mass with the site. Although the disturbed net lot area exceeds the
maximum permitted, the proposed project is consistent with the scale of the
neighborhood when compared to properties in the vicinity. Four hundred fifty
square feet was originally set aside for the stable and the area was included in
the previously granted Variance to exceed the maximum permitted disturbed net
lot. The proposed 880 square foot- stable, which is 430 square feet larger than
originally approved requires 98 cubic yards of cut and fill and will increase the
disturbance of the lot by 1.9%.
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 stable 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. No new stable access from Outrider Road or Eastifeld
Drive is proposed.
F. The proposed project is to construct a stable and corral area of
sufficient size that meets all standards for vehicular access thereto in
conformance with site plan review requirements.
G. The project is exempt from the requirements of the California
Environmental Quality Act.
Section 10. Sections 17.38.010 through 17.38.050 of the Rolling Hills
Municipal Code permit approval of a Variance from the standards and
requirements of the Zoning Ordinance when exceptional or extraordinary
circumstances applicable to the property and not applicable to other similar
properties in the same zone prevent the owner from making use of a parcel of
property to the same extent enjoyed by similar properties in the same vicinity. A
Variance to Section 17.16.070 (B) is required because it states that the lot
disturbance shall be limited to 40% of the net lot area. With respect to this
request for a Variance for lot disturbance of 48.6%, the Planning Commission
finds as follows:
A. There are exceptional and extraordinary circumstances and
conditions applicable to the property or to the intended use that do not apply
generally to the other property or class of use in the same zone. The Variance for
the total disturbance is necessary because the configuration, double street
frontage and topography of the lot create a difficulty in meeting this Code
requirement.
1l111c_1d ilvPr
• •
B. The Variance , is necessary for the preservation and
enjoyment of a substantial property right possessed by other property in the
same vicinity and zone, but which is denied to the property in question. The
Variance is necessary because of the existing conditions of the lot. A 450 square
foot stable was previously approved. The additional 430 square feet (for a total of
880 square foot stable) will only minimally affect the disturbance of the lot.
Ninety-eight (98) cubic yards of grading is required for this construction. One of
the goals of the General Plan is to encourage construction of equestrian uses,
which this Variance would accommodate.
C. The granting of the Variance would not be materially
detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to the property or improvements in
such vicinity and zone in which the property is located. All development will
occur within required setbacks, and will be adequately screened . to prevent
adverse visual impact to surrounding properties.
Section 11. Based upon the foregoing findings in Section 9 and Section
10, of this Resolution, the Planning Commission hereby approves the Variance
and Site Plan Review for Zoning Case No. 694 to construct an 880 square foot
stable, and to exceed the maximum permitted disturbed area subject to the
following conditions:
A. The Site Plan and Variance approvals shall expire within two years
from the effective date of approval if work has not commenced as defined in
Sections 17.38.070(A) and 17.46.080 of the Zoning Ordinance, unless otherwise
extended pursuant to the requirements of these sections.
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 City has given the
applicants 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.
C. All requirements of the Building and Construction Ordinance, the
Zoning Ordinance, and of the zone in which the subject property is located must
be complied with unless otherwise set forth in the permit, or shown otherwise on
an approved plan. This shall include, but not be limited to, the requirements of
the Outdoor LightingOrdinance, Undergrounding of Utilities Ordinance, Roof
Covering Ordinance and others.
D. The lot shall be developed and maintained in substantial.
conformance with the site plan on file marked Exhibit A and dated May 6, 2005,

the Outrider Road roadway easement and twenty-five feet from the rear
property line.
L. Landscaping . shall include water efficient irrigation, to the
maximum extent feasible, that incorporates a low gallonage irrigation system,
utilizes automatic controllers, incorporates an irrigation design using
"hydrozones," considers slope factors and climate conditions in design, and
utilizes means to reduce water waste resulting from runoff and overspray in
accordance with Section 17.27.020 (Water efficient landscaping requirements) of
the Rolling Hills Municipal Code.

engineering practices so that people or property are not exposed to landslides,
mudflows, erosion, or land subsidence shall be required.
O. During construction, conformance with the Air Quality Management
District requirements, stormwater pollution prevention practices, county and

RESOLUTION NO. 2005-14
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF ROLLING HILLS GRANTING APPROVAL FOR A
VARIANCE TO EXCEED THE MAXIMUM PERMITTED
DISTURBED AREA OF THE LOT AND A SITE PLAN REVIEW
FOR CONSTRUCTION OF A STABLE ON A PROPERTY THAT
REQUIRES PLANNING COMMISSION REVIEW, DUE TO
EXISTING STRUCTURAL DEVELOPMENT RESTRICTION
APPROVED IN SEPTEMBER 2002 AND WHERE A SINGLE
FAMILY RESIDENCE IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION IN ZONING
CASE NO. 694 AT 20 EASTFIELD DRIVE, (LOT 83-EF), (DYER).
THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ROLLING HILLS
DOES HEREBY FIND, RESOLVE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. An application has been filed by Mr. and Mrs. Aaron Dyer
with respect to real property located at 20 Eastfield Drive, (Lot 83-EF), Rolling
Hills, requesting a Variance to exceed the maximum permitted disturbed area of
the lot and a Site Plan Review for grading to construct an 880 square foot stable
at a property where construction of a single family residence was approved in
September of 2002 and is currently under construction. The September 2002
approval contains a condition that any future development on subject property
must be reviewed and approved by the Planning Commission.
Section 2. Originally the applicants requested a Site Plan Review for
grading and construction of a 720 square foot swimming pool and an 880 square
foot stable and a Variance to exceed the maximum permitted disturbed area of
the lot. Subsequently, the applicants proposed a 576 square foot swimming pool,
which required less grading than the 720 square foot swimming pool.
Section 3. In September 2002,. the City Council after taking this case
under jurisdiction, approved an application for a 4,458 square foot residence with
a 693 square foot garage and 1,440 square foot basement, which required 1,640
cubic yards of cut and 1,640 cubic yards of fill and a Variance to exceed the
maximum permitted disturbed area of the lot (46.7%). A 450 square foot future
stable was also approved in the general area of the proposed stable. The City
Council took this case under jurisdiction and ultimately upheld the Planning
Commission's decision of approval. The residence is currently under construction.
Section 4. The Resolution of Approval of the application for the single
family residence (Resolution No. 923) contains a condition that the Planning
Commission must review any future development on the property. Therefore,
the request to construct larger than originally approved stable requires Planning
Commission review.
Section 5. At the April 19, 2005 meeting, the Planning Commission, after
review and deliberation, directed staff to prepare a resolution to approve the Site
"nnc_ 1 a ilvPr i
• •
Plan Review and Variance to exceed the maximum permitted disturbed lot area
for the construction of the stable and to deny the Site Plan Review and Variance
to exceed the maximum permitted disturbed area for grading and construction of
the proposed pool.
Section 6. On May 5, 2005 the applicants submitted a letter requesting
withdrawal of the Site Plan Review and Variance application for the swimming
pool. The applicants submitted a new Site Plan Review and Variance
applications for construction of the pool in a different location.
Section 7. The Planning Commission conducted duly noticed public
hearings to consider the request in Zoning Case No. 694 for Variance and Site
Plan Review on September 21, 2004, November 16, 2004, February 22, 2005,
March 15, 2005, April 19, 2005 and at a field trip visit on March 15, 2005. The
applicants were notified of the hearings in writing by first class mail. Evidence
was heard and presented from all persons interested in said proposal. The
Planning Commission heard a report from the City staff and reviewed, analyzed
and studied the proposal. The applicants and the applicants' representative were
in attendance at the hearings.
Section 8. The Planning Commission finds that the project qualifies as
a Class 3 Exemption (The State of CA Guidelines, Section 15303) and is therefore
categorically exempt from environmental review under the California
Environmental Quality Act.
Section 9 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 for grading for the stable
pad and the restriction placed in Resolution No. 923 granted on September 23,
2002 by the City Council on any future development on subject property the
Planning Commission makes the following findings of fact:
A. The proposed development is compatible with the General Plan,
and surrounding uses because the proposed stable complies with the General
Plan requirement of low profile, low -density residential development with
sufficient open space between surrounding structures, and equestrian uses. The
project conforms to Zoning Code setbacks and the grading will be minimal.
B. The project substantially preserves the natural and undeveloped
state of the lot. The proposed stable will be constructed on an existing building
pad and minimal grading is required. The project is of sufficient distance from
nearby residences so that the stable 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.
�1-111S_ 1 d ill7PT
1
C. The proposed development, as conditioned, is harmonious in scale
and mass with the site. Although the disturbed net lot area exceeds the
maximum permitted, the proposed project is consistent with the scale of the
neighborhood when compared to properties in the vicinity. Four hundred fifty
square feet was originally set aside for the stable and the area was included in
the previously granted Variance to exceed the maximum permitted disturbed net
lot. The proposed 880 square foot stable, which is 430 square feet larger than
originally approved requires 98 cubic yards of cut and fill and will increase the
disturbance of the lot by 1.9%.
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 stable 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. No new stable access from Outrider Road or Eastifeld
Drive is proposed.
F. The proposed project is to construct a stable and corral area of
sufficient size that meets all standards for vehicular access thereto in
conformance with site plan review requirements.
G. The project is exempt from the requirements of the California
Environmental Quality Act.
Section 10. Sections 17.38.010 through 17.38.050 of the Rolling Hills
Municipal Code permit approval of a Variance from the standards and
requirements of the Zoning Ordinance when exceptional or extraordinary
circumstances applicable to the property and not applicable to other similar
properties in the same zone prevent the owner from making use of a parcel of
property to the same extent enjoyed by similar properties in the same vicinity. A
Variance to Section 17.16.070 (B) is required because it states that the lot.
disturbance shall be limited to 40% of the net lot area. With respect to this
request for a Variance for lot disturbance of 48.6%, the Planning Commission
finds as follows:
A. There are exceptional and extraordinary circumstances and
conditions applicable to the property or to the intended use that do not apply
generally to the other property or class of use in the same zone. The Variance for
the total disturbance is necessary because the configuration, double street
frontage and topography of the lot create a difficulty in meeting this Code
requirement.
fnns_ia nvPr
•
•
B. The Variance is necessary for the preservation and
enjoyment of a substantial property right possessed by other property in the
same vicinity and zone, but which is denied to the property in question. The
Variance is necessary because of the existing conditions of the lot. A 450 square
foot stable was previously approved. The additional 430 square feet (for a total of
880 square foot stable) will only minimally affect the disturbance of the lot.
Ninety-eight (98) cubic yards of grading is required for this construction. One of
the goals of the General Plan is to encourage construction of equestrian uses,
which this Variance would accommodate.
C. The granting of the Variance would not be materially
detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to the property or improvements in
such vicinity and zone in which the property is located. All development will
occur within required setbacks, and will be adequately screened to prevent
adverse visual impact to surrounding properties.
Section 11. Based upon the foregoing findings in Section 9 and Section
10, of this Resolution, the Planning Commission hereby approves the Variance
and Site Plan Review for Zoning Case No. 694 to construct an 880 square foot
stable, and to exceed the maximum permitted disturbed area subject to the
following conditions:
A. The Site Plan and Variance approvals shall expire within two years
from the effective date of approval if work has not commenced as defined in
Sections 17.38.070(A) and 17.46.080 of the Zoning Ordinance, unless otherwise
extended pursuant to the requirements of these sections.
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 City has given the
applicants 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.
C. All requirements of the Building and Construction Ordinance, the
Zoning Ordinance, and of the zone in which the subject property is located must
be complied with unless otherwise set forth in the permit, or shown otherwise on
an approved plan. This shall include, but not be limited to, the requirements of
the Outdoor Lighting Ordinance, Undergrounding of Utilities Ordinance, Roof
Covering Ordinance and others.
D. The lot shall be developed and maintained in substantial
conformance with the site plan on file marked Exhibit A and dated May 6, 2005,

the Outrider Road roadway easement and twenty-five feet from the rear
property line.
L. Landscaping shall include water efficient irrigation, to the
maximum extent feasible, that incorporates a low gallonage irrigation system,
utilizes automatic controllers, incorporates an irrigation design using
"hydrozones," considers slope factors and climate conditions in design, and
utilizes means to reduce water waste resulting from runoff and overspray in
accordance with Section 17.27.020 (Water efficient landscaping requirements) of
the Rolling Hills Municipal Code.
M. During construction, dust control measures shall be used to stabilize
the soil from wind erosion and reduce dust and objectionable odors generated by
construction activities in accordance with South Coast Air Quality Management
District, Los Angeles County and local ordinances and engineering practices.

MR. & MRS. AARON DYER
DOUGLAS McHATTIE, BOLTON ENGINEERING
SEPTEMBER 11, 2004
Request for a Site Plan Review for grading and construction of a pool and a stable
and request for a Variance to exceed the maximum permitted disturbed area of the
lot at a property where a previously approved single family residence is under
construction.
BACKGROUND
1. At the March 15, 2005 field trip and the regular Planning Commission
meeting, the Commission expressed concerns about the scope of this project. At
that meeting the property owners requested continuance of this case to tonight's
meeting.
2. The applicants submitted a revised proposal to construct a 576 square foot
swimming pool, and an 880 square foot stable. Previously a 720 square foot pool
was proposed. The pool is proposed to be located on a pad below the residential
building pad. The applicants are also seeking a Variance to exceed the maximum
permitted disturbed area of the lot.
3. In August 2002, the Planning Commission approved an application for a
4,458 square foot residence with a 693 square foot garage and 1,440 square foot
basement, which required 1,640 cubic yards of cut and 1,640 cubic yards of fill and
a Variance to exceed the maximum permitted disturbed area of the lot (46.6%). A
450 square foot future stable was also approved. Commissioner Margeta voted
against the project approval. The City Council took this case under jurisdiction and
ultimately upheld the Planning Commission's decision of approval. The residence
is currently under construction.
ZC NO. 694
P1ng.Comm. 4/19/05
®L.;rint, 1 or Hn<:Yrar.:d f'.m,.:r
4. The Resolution of Approval of the previous application contain a condition
that any future development must be reviewed by the Planning Commission.
5. The disturbed area, for which a Variance is required, is proposed to be
27,394 square feet or 59.5% of the net lot area.
6. The proposed 576 square foot pool will be located in the side yard area. The
stable will be partially located in the rear setback. Stables are permitted in the rear
setbacks, but may not be closer than 25 feet to the rear property line.
7. The applicants propose to move the pool further away from the residential
pad, to an area where less grading would be required than previously proposed.
Grading will consist of 205 cubic yards of cut and 205 cubic yards of fill (previously
320 cubic yards of cut and 320 cubic yards of fill). A 600 square foot pool deck is
also proposed (previously 1,490 square feet). The wall around the deck will vary in
height from 2 feet on the north side to 5 feet on the south side. The remainder of the
area around the pool is proposed to be landscaped.
8. The property is zoned RAS-1, and the gross lot area is 1.47 acres. The net lot
area is 46,040 square feet. The applicants are proposing to create a new 2,509
square foot pad for the pool and utilize the existing 3,480 square foot flat area (10%
or less slope), for the stable and corral.
9. The structural net lot coverage is proposed at 7,105 square feet or 15.4%
which includes the residence, garage, service yard, pool, covered patios and the
stable, (20% permitted), (previously approved 5,697 square feet or 12.4%, which
did not include a covered patio area). The total lot coverage including the
structures and paved areas, which includes the 600 square foot pool decking, will
be 11,052 square feet or 24.0%, (35% permitted), (previously approved 8,971 square
feet or 19.5% of the net lot area).
10. Building pad coverage on the 15,940 square foot residential building pad
was approved at 32.9%. Building pad coverage on the 2,509 square foot swimming
pool pad will be 22.9%, and the building pad coverage on the 3,480 square foot
stable/corral pad will be 25.2%. The combined coverage will be 30.6%.
11. Access to the 880 square foot stable will be taken from the driveway.
12. Drainage concept for this project shows that run-off will be carried in
underground pipes, and is proposed to be discharged into an energy dissipator
located on the northeast side of the property.
13. It will be required that the utilities to the stable be placed underground.
14. The project has been determined to be categorically exempt pursuant to the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
ZC NO. 694
Plng.Comm. 4/19/05
15. The Rolling Hills Community Association will review this project at a later
date.
16. Letters from neighbors in support of this project are attached.
17. A table showing historical data is attached to this staff report.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Planning Commission open the continued public
hearing, take testimony and provide direction to staff.
VARIANCE REQUIRED FINDINGS
A. That there are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable to the property
that do not apply generally to other properties in the same vicinity and zone; and
B. That such variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of substantial property rights
possessed by other properties in the same vicinity and zone but which is denied the property in
question; and
C. That the granting of such variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious
to properties or improvements in the vicinity; and
D. That in granting the variance, the spirit and intent of this title will be observed; and
E. That the variance does not grant special privilege;
F. That the variance is consistent with the portions of the County of Los Angeles Hazardous Waste
Management Plan relating to siting and siting criteria for hazardous waste facilities; and
G. That the variance request is consistent with the General Plan of the City of Rolling Hills.

To the Planning Commission:
My family and I recently purchased the property at 7 Outrider with the escrow closing
this Friday. Aaron and Suzanne Dyer have informed me of their plan to put a pool and a
barn on their property at 20 Eastfield. I am familiar with the layout of their property, as
well as the ongoing construction, and my husband and I strongly support the proposed
pool and barn additions.
Very truly yours,

SEPTEMBER 11, 2004
Request for a Site Plan Review for grading and construction of a pool and a stable
and request for a Variance to exceed the maximum permitted disturbed area of the
lot at a property where a previously approved single family residence is under
construction.
BACKGROUND
1. At the February 15, 2005 meeting the Planning Commission scheduled a
field visit to subject site for today.
2. The applicants are proposing to construct a 720 square foot swimming pool,
26 square foot pool equipment area and an 880 square foot stable. The applicants
are also seeking a Variance to exceed the maximum permitted disturbed area of
the lot.
3. In August 2002, the Planning Commission approved an application for a
4,458 square foot residence with a 693 square foot garage and 1,440 square foot
basement, which required 1,640 cubic yards of cut and 1,640 cubic yards of fill and
a Variance to exceed the maximum permitted disturbed area of the lot (46.6%). A.
450 square foot future stable was also approved. Commissioner Margeta voted
against the project approval. The City Council took this case under jurisdiction and
ultimately upheld the Planning Commission's decision of approval. The residence
is currently under construction.
ZC NO.694
Plng.Comm. 3/15/05FT
• •
4. With the approval of the previous application, the Commission, and then
City Council applied a condition to the property that any future development
would have to be reviewed by the Planning Commission.
5. The proposed disturbed area, for which a Variance is required, will be
56.0% of the net lot area.
6. The proposed 720 square foot pool will be located in the side yard and the
stable will be partially located in the side yard (not side yard setback), and
partially in the rear setback. Stables are permitted in the rear setbacks, but may not
be closer than 25 feet to the rear property line. A not to exceed 4-foot high, 76 feet
long retaining wall is proposed alongthe western and southern side of the pool.
7. Grading will consist of 320 cubic yards of cut and 320 cubic yards of fill.
8. The property is zoned RAS-1, and the gross lot area is 1.47 acres. The net lot
area is 46,040 square feet. The applicants are proposing to create a new 2,210
square foot pad for the pool and utilize the existing 3,480 square foot flat area (10%
or less slope), for the stable and corral.
9. The structural net lot coverage is proposed at 7,249 square feet or 15.7%
which includes the residence, garage, service yard, pool, pool equipment, covered
patios and the stable, (20% permitted), (previously approved 5,697 square feet or
12.4%, which did not include a covered patio area). The total lot coverage
including the structures and paved areas, which includes a 1,490 square foot pool
decking, will be 12,086 square feet or 26.3%, (35% permitted), (previously
approved 8,971 square feet or 19.5% of the net lot area).
10. Building pad coverage on the 15,940 square foot residential building pad
was approved at 32.9%. Building pad coverage on the 2,210 square foot swimming
pool pad will be 33.8%, and the building pad coverage on the 3,480 square foot
stable / corral pad will be 22.9%. The combined coverage will be 31.8%.
11. Access to the 880 square foot stable will be taken from Outrider Road.
Traffic Commission will review the proposed road access to the stable at their
March 24, 2005 meeting.
12. Preliminary drainage concept for this project shows that water will be
carried in underground pipes, which will discharge into energy dissipaters located
in the Outrider Road easement.
13. , It will be required that the utilities to the stable be placed underground.
14. The project has been determined to be categorically exempt pursuant to the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
15. The Rolling Hills Community Association will review this project at a later
date.

17. At the November 16, 2004 Planning Commission meeting, Commissioner
Margeta requested that staff provide information on the scope of the originally
submitted project, on the as approved project and the current proposal. A table
showing historical data is attached to this staff report.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Planning Commission view the project.
VARIANCE REQUIRED FINDINGS
A. That there are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable to the property
that do not apply generally to other properties in the same vicinity and zone; and
B. That such variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of substantial property rights
possessed by other properties in the same vicinity and zone but which is denied the property in
question; and
C. That the granting of such variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious
to properties or improvements in the vicinity; and
D. That in granting the variance, the spirit and intent of this title will be observed; and
E. That the variance does not grant special privilege;
F. That the variance is consistent with the portions of the County of Los Angeles Hazardous Waste
Management Plan relating to siting and siting criteria for hazardous waste facilities; and
G. That the variance request is consistent with the General Plan of the City of Rolling Hills.

My family and I recently purchased the property at 7 Outrider with the escrow closing
this Friday. Aaron and Suzanne Dyer have informed me of their plan to put a pool and a
barn on their property at 20 Eastfield. I am familiar with the layout of their property, as
well as the ongoing construction, and my husband and I strongly support the proposed
pool and barn additions.
Very truly yours,

SEPTEMBER 11, 2004
Request for a Site Plan Review for grading and construction of a pool and a stable and
request for a Variance to exceed the maximum permitted disturbed area of the lot at a
property where a previously approved single family residence is under construction.
BACKGROUND
1. The applicants are proposing to construct a 720 square foot swimming pool, 26
square foot pool equipment area and an 880 square foot stable. The applicants are also
seeking a Variance to exceed the maximum permitted disturbed area of the lot.
2. In August 2002, the Planning Commission approved an application for a 4,458
square foot residence with a 693 square foot garage and 1,440 square foot basement,
which required 1,640 cubic yards of cut and 1,640 cubic yards of fill and a Variance to
exceed the maximum permitted disturbed area of the lot (46.6%). A 450 square foot
future stable was also approved. The City Council took this case under jurisdiction and
after reviewing the proposed development upheld the Planning Commission's decision
of approval. The residence is currently under construction.
3. With the approval of the previous application, the Commission, and then City
Council applied a condition to the property that any future development would have to
be reviewed by the Planning Commission.
4. Currently, the applicants are applying for a Variance from the maximum
permitted disturbance, and are proposing to disturb 56.0% of the lot.
ZC NO. 694

5. The proposed 720 square foot pool will be located in the side yard and the stable
will be partially located in the side yard and partially in the rear setback. Stables are
permitted in the rear setbacks, but may not be closer than 25 feet to the rear property
line. A not to exceed 4-foot high, 76 feet long retaining wall is proposed along the
western and southern side of the pool.
6. No grading is required for the 880 square foot stable. The stable will follow the
contours and will be tucked into the natural terrain. The stable will be 14 feet high from
the finished floor. Grading for the pool building pad will require 320 cubic yards of cut
and 320 cubic yards of fill.
7. The property is zoned RAS-1, and the gross lot area is 1.47 acres. The net lot area
is 46,040 square feet. The applicants are proposing to create a new 2,210 square foot pad
for the pool and utilize the existing 3,480 square foot flat area (10% or less slope), for the
stable and corral.
8. The structural net lot coverage is proposed at 7,249 square feet or 15.7% which
includes the residence, garage, service yard, pool, pool equipment, covered patios and
the stable, (20% permitted), (previously 5,697 square feet or 12.4%, which did not
include a covered patio area). The total lot coverage including the structures and paved
areas, which includes a 1,490 square foot pool decking, will be 12,086 square feet or
26.3%, (35% permitted), (previously 8,971 square feet or 19.5% of the net lot area). The
previous approval did not show covered patios.
9. Building pad coverage on the 15,940 square foot residential building pad was
approved at 32.9%. Building pad coverage on the 2,210 square foot swimming pool pad
will be 33.8%, and the building pad coverage on the 3,480 square foot stable/corral pad
will be 22.9%. The combined coverage will be 31.8%.
10. Preliminary drainage concept for this project shows that water will be
carried in underground pipes, which will empty into energy dissipaters located
in the Outrider Road easement.
11. It will be required that the utilities to the stable be placed underground.
12. The project has been determined to be categorically exempt pursuant to the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
13. The Rolling Hills Community Association will review this project at a
later date.
14. Several letters from neighbors in support of this project are attached.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Planning Commission consider the staff report, open
the public hearing and take public testimony.

To the Planning Commission:
My family and I recently purchased the property at 7 Outrider with the escrow closing
this Friday. Aaron and Suzanne Dyer have informed me of their plan to put a pool and a
barn on their property at 20 Eastfield. I am familiar with the layout of their property, as
well as the ongoing construction, and my husband and I strongly support the proposed
pool and barn additions.
Very truly yours,
PILLS,BURY WINTHROP LLP
