ASSOCIATES ARCHITECTURE, INTERIORS and PROJECT MANAGEMENT Yolanta Schwartz Planning Director City of Rolling Hills No. 2 Portuguese Bend Road Rolling Hills, Ca 90274 Re: Rich Residence, 18 Eastfield Rd. Dear Yolanta, November 15, 2007 2785 Pacific Coast Hwy Box E-149, Torrance California, 90505 PH: 310-375-2380 Fax: 310-375-2390 www.blairassociates.net Joe and Christine Rich have decided to not proceed with the room additions at the front of their home as approved by the City but instead to stay with the much smaller entry addition that was also approved by the City. They have pulled all the permits from the county and are proceeding with construction of all the other parts of the project. They do have one revision however that requires your approval. We propose to add on a small push out at their master bedroom so that they can have a new walk in closet. This addition is within the setbacks and under the existing eaves. What we are requesting is an administrative approval for this minor revision. We know the condition that was placed upon this property by the planning commission when we originally built the home, however we believe an exception can be taken to this requirement on the following basis; as we are no longer proceeding with the larger addition this will reduce the already annroved added sauare footage by 921 square feet (10,223 s.f was approved, this revision is 9,302 s.f. of structural coverage, a 921 s.f. reduction). This is a significant reduction, clearly the commission had no issues with the addition and as such the reduction should be considered so that we can save the trouble of going through the entire application and hearing process for the minor little modification. Please let us know as soon as possible, I'm sure you'll want to review this with Tony and I am available to answer any questions either of you may have. Thank you, Tom Bldir Architect Mon, Nov 26, 2007 10:54 AM Subject: 18 Eastfield Date: Monday, November 26, 2007 10:54 AM From: Yolanta Schwartz <ys@cityofrh.net> To: Thomas Blair <tom@blairassociates.net> Conversation: 18 Eastfield Tom, I reviewed the Rich request at 18 Eastfield. Your request is being approved, due to the fact that the addition of the closet is less than the addition originally approved. The approval for addition (second addition) was for 664 sq.ft., on both sides of the porch, which you state will not be constructed, but approx. 48 sq.ft. closet will be built instead. After you have the project approved by the RHCA, submit revised plans for a City stamp to take to Building and Safety. If the plans for the second addition (on both sides of the porch) were approved by the County and building permits issued, I will need some proof that the building permit for that portion of the job has been voided and the project will not be constructed under that permit.

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. Joseph Rich, with respect to real property located at 18 Eastfield Drive, (Lot 69-A-EF), Rolling Hills, requesting a Site Plan Review for grading and construction of a 450 square foot stable with 360 square foot covered porch and a corral, Conditional Use Permit to convert an existing 320 square foot stable into a recreation room, a Variance to exceed the maximum permitted disturbed area of the lot and a Site Plan Review for the proposed development on a property that requires Planning Commission review, due to existing structural development restriction approved in 1996 and in 1998. An addition of 446 square feet to the existing basement and modification to the entryway are also proposed. Section 2. In 1996, the Planning Commission approved a Site Plan Review request for a new single family residence and other improvements to replace an existing residence on subject property. On July 21, 1998, the Planning Commission approved a Conditional Use Permit to construct a cabana and modification to the 1996 Site Plan Review approval for additional grading. Both, the 1996 and 1998 Resolutions of Approval contain a condition that any further development on the property is subject to Planning Commission review and approval. Section 3 The Planning Commission conducted duly noticed public hearings to consider the request in Zoning Case No. 703 on April 19, 2005, May 17, 2005 and at a field trip on May 17, 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 4. The City staff received a letter from a neighbor objecting to the proposed location of the stable. The Planning Commission reviewed and analyzed the letter and scheduled a visit to view the proposed project from the objecting neighbor's property. Prior to the field trip, the neighbor submitted a letter recanting her objection and requesting that the field trip to view the project from her property be cancelled. Section 5. 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 6 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 and corral and the restriction placed in 1996 and 1998 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. 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. The grading for the stable and corral will increase the disturbed lot area by 8.5%, which is minimal. 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 7. 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 48.4%, 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, and topography of the lot create a difficulty in meeting this Code requirement. 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. The existing 320 square foot stable is located in proximity to the cabana and swimming pool and is not utilized for a stable. The proposed stable will be located away from the "living area" of the lot and will retain an equestrian flavor. The stable will only minimally affect the disturbance of the lot. 328 cubic yards of grading is required for this construction, which includes excavation for a basement. 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 8. Section 17.16.210(A)(2) of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code permits approval of a recreation room under certain conditions, provided the Planning Commission approves a Conditional Use Permit. The applicant is requesting to convert the existing 320 square foot stable into a recreation room. With respect to this request for a Conditional Use Permit, the Planning Commission finds as follows: A. The granting of a Conditional Use Permit for the recreation room would be consistent with the purposes and objectives of the Zoning Ordinance and General Plan and will be desirable for the public convenience and welfare because the use is consistent with similar uses in the community, and the area proposed for the recreation room would be located in an area on the property where such use will not change the existing configuration of structures on the lot. B. The nature, condition, and development of adjacent uses, buildings, and structures have been considered, and the conversion will not adversely affect or be materially detrimental to these adjacent uses, buildings, or structures because the proposed recreation room will be located in a cluster with other structures and will promote pad integration. The proposed recreation room is of sufficient distance from nearby residences so that it will not impact the view or privacy of surrounding neighbors. C. The project is harmonious in scale and mass with the site, the natural terrain, and surrounding residences because the recreation room will comply with the low profile residential development pattern of the community. D. The proposed conditional use complies with all applicable development standards of the zone district because the 320 square foot size of the recreation room is less than the maximum permitted under the Municipal Code. E. The proposed conditional use is consistent with the portions of the Los Angeles County Hazardous Waste Management Plan relating to siting and siting criteria for hazardous waste facilities because the project site is not listed on the current State of California Hazardous Waste and Substances Sites List. F. The proposed conditional use observes the spirit and intent of Title 17 of the Zoning Code because an adequate area is set -aside for the construction of a stable structure, adjacent corral and access. Section 9. Based upon the foregoing findings and the evidence in the record, the Planning Commission hereby approves a Site Plan Review for grading and construction of a 450 square foot stable, a Variance request to exceed the maximum permitted disturbance of the lot and a Conditional Use Permit to convert an existing 320 square foot stable into a recreation room, and a Site Plan Review for the total proposed development due to the restriction placed on the previously approved applications for subject property, in accordance with the development plan dated March 28, 2005 and marked Exhibit A in Zoning Case No. 703 subject to the following conditions: A. The Site Plan, Variance and Conditional Use Permit approvals shall expire within two years from the effective date of approval if work has not commenced as defined in Sections 17.38.070, 17.42.070 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 March 28, 2005, except as otherwise provided in these conditions. E. Structural lot coverage shall not exceed 9,254 square feet or 14.8% in conformance with lot coverage limitations. F. Total lot coverage of structures and paved areas shall not exceed 20,352 square feet or 32.6% in conformance with lot coverage limitations. G. The disturbed area of the lot shall not exceed 30,236 square feet or 48.4% in conformance with the Variance approval. H. Building pad coverage on the stable pad shall not exceed 25.6%; including the covered patio. Building pad coverage on the residential building pad shall not exceed 31.5% including covered porches and 28.8% not including covered porches. I. Grading for the stable and excavation for the basement shall not exceed 328 cubic yards of cut and 328 cubic yards of fill and shall be balanced on site. J. The stable and recreation room shall be screened from adjacent properties. Landscaping shall be designed using mature trees and shrubs so as not to obstruct views from neighboring properties, but to screen these structures • • on the lot. If trees are to be incorporated into the landscaping scheme, at maturity they shall be no higher than the ridge height of the stable and the recreation room on the lot. K. The stable and corral shall be located a minimum of twenty-five feet from the rear property line and twenty feet from the side 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. No kitchen or other cooking facilities shall be permitted in the recreation room. No sleeping quarters shall be permitted in the recreation room. N. The stable shall be used exclusively for keeping permitted domestic animals. Commercial uses are not permitted. O. 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. P. During construction, conformance with the Air Quality Management District requirements, stormwater pollution prevention practices, county and local ordinances and engineering practices shall be required so that people or property are not exposed to undue vehicle trips, noise, dust, objectionable odors, landslides, mudflows, erosion, or land subsidence. Q. During and after construction, all soil preparation, drainage, and landscape sprinklers shall protect the building pad from erosion and direct surface water in an approved manner. R. During and after construction, all parking shall take place on the project site and, if necessary, any overflow parking shall take place within nearby roadway easements. S. During construction, the property owners shall be required to schedule and regulate construction and related traffic noise throughout the day between the hours of 7 AM and 6 PM, Monday through Saturday only, when construction and mechanical equipment noise is permitted, so as not to interfere with the quiet residential environment of the City of Rolling Hills. T. If any walls are to be incorporated into the design of this project, they shall not be located in any setback nor shall they exceed 3-feet in height. • • U. The drainage plan system shall be approved by the Planning Department and the County Drainage Engineer and shall assure that any water from any site irrigation systems and all drainage from the site shall be conveyed in an approved manner and shall remain on the property and not cross over any easements. V. The property owners shall be required to conform to the Regional Water Quality Control Board and County Health Department requirements for the installation and maintenance of stormwater drainage facilities. W. The property owners shall be required to conform to the Regional Water Quality Control Board and County Public Works Department Best Management Practices (BMP's) related to solid waste. X. The project shall be reviewed and approved by the Rolling Hills Community Association Architectural Review Committee prior to the issuance of any permits. Y. The working drawings submitted to the County Department of Building and Safety for plan check review shall conform to the development plan described in Condition D. Z. Notwithstanding Sections 17.46.020 and 17.46.070 of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code, any modifications to the property, which would constitute additional structural development or grading, shall require the filing of a new application for approval by the Planning Commission. AA. The applicants shall execute an Affidavit of Acceptance of all conditions of this Site Plan, Conditional Use Permit and Variance approvals, pursuant to Sections 17.38.060, 17.42.060 and 17.46.065 of the Zoning Ordinance, or the approval shall not be effective.

The following are my findings: • Calculate the disturbed area. My cursory review indicates that the disturbed area of the net lot exceeds the 40% maximum allowed, and will therefore require a Variance ($1,250). The previous approval showed 39.9% disturbed area. • The area of the new stable and the graded areas for the corral need to be included in the disturbed lot area, as well as the previously shown areas and any other area that was previously graded or is planned to be graded. • Remove the chain link fence around the play area. Otherwise it constitutes a sports court, which requires a CUP. Is this a new area, which will be graded? How big is it? Indicate if it' proposed to be paved or not. (Paved play areas count as sports court). • Include the barbeque area/fire place in your calculations. • Re -calculate the residential/cabana/play room pad area. The previous proposal included the stable (now play house) and the cabana in the residential building pad of 26,726 square feet. Will you be creating new pads? Will you be grading? If you have any other questions, please call me at (310) 377-1521. Sincerely, Yolanta Schwartz Planning Director Printed on Recycled Paper.
