The estimated cost for plant material, sod, and labor is $24,000. The cost for labor and materials for the irrigation system is estimated at $9,500. Please note that while the revised plan is different from the original, it is not more extensive. The owner has already completed most site clean up work which additionally reduces the labor cost.

Box 3855 Palos Verdes Penninsula California 90274 • • RESOLUTION NO. 96-21 A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ROLLING HILLS GRANTING SITE PLAN REVIEW APPROVAL TO PERMIT THE CONSTRUCTION OF A NEW SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE IN ZONING CASE NO. 546. 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. Russell Cole Shoemaker with respect to real property located at 18 Eastfield Drive, Rolling Hills (Lot 69-A-EF), requesting Site Plan Review for the construction of a new single family residence and attached garage to replace an existing single family residence. Section 2. The Commission considered this item at a public hearing on October 15, 1996 and November 19, 1996, and at a field trip visit on November 2, 1996. Section 3. The Planning Commission finds that the project qualifies as a Class 1 Exemption (State CEQA Guidelines, Section 15301(e)) and is therefore categorically exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act. Section 4. Section 17.46.020 of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code requires a development plan to be submitted for site plan review and approval for any grading requiring a grading permit and before 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 or structure by more than twenty-five percent (25%) in any thirty-six month period. The applicants request Site Plan Review to construct a residence, attached garage, and swimming pool/spa. With respect to the Site Plan Review application, the Planning Commission makes the following findings of fact: A. The proposed development is compatible with the General Plan, the Zoning Ordinance and surrounding uses because the proposed structure complies with the General Plan requirement of low profile, low density residential development with sufficient open space between surrounding structures. The project conforms to Zoning Code setback and lot coverage requirements. The lot has a net square foot area of 59,705 square feet. The proposed residence (5,079 sq.ft.), attached garage (1,192 sq.ft.), swimming pool spa (624 sq.ft.), 96 square foot service yard and existing stable (320 sq.ft.) will have 7,311 square feet which constitutes 12.2% of the lot which is within the maximum 20% structural lot coverage requirement. The total lot coverage including paved areas and driveway will be 17,726 square feet which equals 29.7%, which is within the 35% maximum overall RESOLUTION NO. 96-21 PAGE 1 OF 5 • • lot coverage requirement. The proposed project is on a relatively large lot with most of the proposed structures located away from the road so as to reduce the visual impact of the development. B. The proposed development preserves and integrates 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) because a minimum amount of grading is proposed and will only be done to provide approved drainage that will flow away from the proposed residence and existing neighboring residences. C. The development plan follows natural contours of the site to minimize grading and the natural drainage courses will continue to the canyons at the east side (rear) of this lot. D. The development plan incorporates existing large trees and native vegetation to the maximum extent feasible. Specifically, the development plan preserves several mature trees and shrubs. E. The development plan substantially preserves the natural and undeveloped. state of the lot by minimizing building coverage because the new structures will not cause the structural and total lot coverage to be exceeded. The residential and total lot coverage will not exceed the Planning Commission's established guideline. Further, the proposed project is designed to minimize grading. Significant portions of the lot will be left undeveloped so as to maintain scenic vistas across the northerly portions of the property. F. The proposed development, as conditioned, is harmonious in scale and mass with the site, the natural terrain and surrounding residences. As indicated in Paragraph A, the lot coverage maximum will not be exceeded and the proposed project is consistent with the scale of the neighborhood when compared to this irregular -shaped lot. Grading shall be permitted only to restore the natural slope of the property. G. The proposed development is sensitive and not detrimental to the convenience and safety of circulation for pedestrians and vehicles because the proposed project will utilize the same driveway to Eastfield Drive for access. H. The project conforms with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act and is categorically exempt from environmental review. Section 5. Based upon the foregoing findings, the Planning Commission hereby approves the Site Plan Review application for construction of a new single family residence, an attached garage, swimming pool/spa, service yard and existing RESOLUTION NO. 96-21 PAGE 2 OF 5 stable as indicated on the Development Plan dated October 11, 1996, and marked, Exhibit A, subject to the conditions specified in Section 6.

DEPUTY CITY CLERK RESOLUTION NO. 96-21 PAGE 5 OF 5 RESOLUTION NO. 98-14 A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ROLLING HILLS GRANTING A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT. FOR A CABANA AND APPROVING A REQUEST FOR MODIFICATIONS TO AN APPROVED SITE PLAN REVIEW APPLICATION TO PERMIT THE CONSTRUCTION OF A CABANA THAT REQUIRES INCREASED GRADING AT A SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT IN ZONING CASE NO. 579. THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ROLLING HILLS DOES HEREBY FIND, RESOLVE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Applications were duly filed by Mr. and Mrs. Russell Cole Shoemaker with respect to real property located at 18 Eastfield Drive (Lot 69-A-EF), Rolling Hills requesting a Conditional Use Permit to permit the construction of a cabana and request for Site Plan Review modification to permit the construction of a cabana that requires increased grading at a single family residential development. Section 2. On December 17, 1996, the Planning Commission approved a request for Site Plan Review application by Resolution No. 96-21 in Zoning Case No. 546 for the construction of a new single family residence, and other improvements to replace an existing single family residence. Section 3. The Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public hearing to consider the applications on May 19, 1998 and June 16, 1998, and at a field trip visit on June 9, 1998. Section 4. The Planning Commission finds that the project qualifies as a Class 3 Exemption (State CEQA Guidelines, Section 15303(e) and is therefore categorically exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act. Section 5. Section 17.16.210(A)(2) of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code permits approval of a Cabana or detached recreation room with a Conditional Use Permit under certain conditions. The applicant is requesting to construct a 220 square foot cabana. 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 cabana 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 cabana would be located in an area on the property where such use will not change the existing configuration of structures on the lot. RESOLUTION NO. 98-14 PAGE 1 r • • J B. The nature, condition, and development of adjacent uses, buildings, and structures have been considered, and the construction of cabana will not adversely affect or be materially detrimental to these adjacent uses, buildings, or structures because the proposed cabana structure will be 90 feet from the residential structure and is a sufficient distance from nearby residences so that the cabana 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 cabana will comply with the low profile residential development pattern of the community and is located on a 1.74 acre parcel of property that is adequate in size, shape and topography to accommodate such use. D. The proposed conditional use complies with all applicable development standards of the zone district because the 220 square foot size of the cabana is less than the 800 square foot maximum permitted for similar accessory buildings and the cabana does not encroach into any setback areas. E. The proposed conditional use is consistent with the portions of the Los Angeles County Hazardous Waste Management Plan relating to 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 the cabana will be adjacent to the pool. Section 6. Based upon the foregoing findings, the Planning Commission hereby approves a Conditional Use Permit for the construction of a cabana in accordance with the Development Plan attached hereto in Zoning Case No. 579 subject to the conditions contained in Section 9. Section 7. Section 17.46.010 of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code requires a development plan to be submitted for site plan review and approval before 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 or structure by more than twenty-five percent (25%) in any thirty-six month period. In addition, a condition of Resolution No. 96-21 required that any modifications to the project which would constitute additional structural development requires the filing of a new application for Site Plan Review approval by the Planning Commission. The applicant is requesting to modify the approved Site Plan by constructing a cabana that requires increased grading. The applicant's latest proposal submitted on April 6, 1998, includes additional grading of 85 cubic yards of cut soil and 85 cubic yards of fill soil for a total of 565 cubic yards of cut soil and 565 cubic yards of fill soil. With respect to this request, the Planning Commission makes the following findings of fact: RESOLUTION NO. 98-14 PAGE 2 A. The development is compatible with the General Plan, the Zoning Ordinance and surrounding uses because the proposed grading together with the other improvements on the property complies with the General Plan requirement of low profile, low density residential development with sufficient open space between surrounding structures. The project as modified conforms to Zoning Code setback and lot coverage requirements. The lot has' a net square foot area of 62,471 square feet. The residence (5,079 sq.ft.), attached garage (1,192 sq.ft.), swimming pool (624 sq. ft.), existing stable (320 sq.ft.), service yard (96 sq.ft.); and cabana (220 sq.ft.) will have 7,531 square feet which constitutes 12.1% of the lot which is within the maximum 20% structural lot coverage requirement. The total lot coverage including paved areas and driveway will be 18,571 square feet which equals 29.7% of the lot, which is within the 35% maximum overall lot coverage requirement. The proposed project is on a relatively large lot with the proposed structures located away from the road so as to reduce the visual impact of the development and is similar and compatible with several neighboring developments. The building pad is 26,786 square feet and structural coverage on the building pad is 28.1%. B. The proposed development preserves and integrates 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) because a minimum amount of grading is proposed and will only be done to provide approved drainage that will flow away from the proposed residence and existing neighboring residences. C. The development plan follows natural contours of the site to minimize grading and the natural drainage courses will continue to the canyons at the east side (rear) of this lot. D.

H. The project conforms with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act and is categorically exempt from environmental review. Section 8. Based upon the foregoing findings, the Planning Commission hereby approves a modification to an approved Site Plan Review application to allow the proposed increased grading on the site for a cabana. The modifications are shown on the Development Plan and marked Exhibit A in Zoning Case No. 579. These approved modifications are subject to the conditions contained in Section 9 of this Resolution. Section 9. The Conditional Use Permit for a cabana approved in Section 6 and the modification to permit the increased grading for the cabana from the amount previously approved in the Site Plan Review application, that is approved in Section 8, as indicated on the Development Plan attached hereto and incorporated herein as Exhibit A in Zoning Case No. 579, are subject to the following list of conditions. These conditions include applicable conditions of approval previously imposed on the Site Plan Review application by Resolution No. 96-21 on December 17, 1996.

THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ROLLING HILLS DOES HEREBY FIND, RESOLVE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Applications were duly filed by Mr. and Mrs. Russell Cole Shoemaker with respect to real property located at 18 Eastfield Drive (Lot 69-A-EF), Rolling Hills requesting a Conditional Use Permit to permit the construction of a cabana and request for Site Plan Review modification to permit the construction of a cabana that requires increased grading at a single family residential development. Section 2. On December 17, 1996, the Planning Commission approved a request for Site Plan Review application by Resolution No. 96-21 in Zoning Case No. 546 for the construction of a new single family residence, and other improvements to replace an existing single family residence. Section 3. The Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public hearing to consider the applications on May 19, 1998 and June 16, 1998, and at a field trip visit on June 9, 1998. Section 4. The Planning Commission finds that the project qualifies as a Class 3 Exemption (State CEQA Guidelines, Section 15303(e) and is therefore categorically exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act. Section 5. Section 17.16.210(A)(2) of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code permits approval of a Cabana or detached recreation room with a Conditional Use Permit under certain conditions. The applicant is requesting to construct a 220 square foot cabana. 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 cabana 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 cabana would be located in an area on the property where such use will not change the existing configuration of structures on the lot. RESOLUTION NO. 98-14 PAGE 1 • • B. The nature, condition, and development of adjacent uses, buildings, and structures have been considered, and the construction of cabana will not adversely affect or be materially detrimental to these adjacent uses, buildings, or structures because the proposed cabana structure will be 90 feet from the residential structure and is a sufficient distance from nearby residences so that the cabana 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 cabana will comply with the low profile residential development pattern of the community and is located on a 1.74 acre parcel of property that is adequate in size, shape and topography to accommodate such use. D. The proposed conditional use complies with all applicable development standards of the zone district because the 220 square foot size of the cabana is less than the 800 square foot maximum permitted for similar accessory buildings and the cabana does not encroach into any setback areas. E. The proposed conditional use is consistent with the portions of the Los Angeles County Hazardous Waste Management Plan relating to 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 the cabana will be adjacent to the pool. Section 6. Based upon the foregoing findings, the Planning Commission hereby approves a Conditional Use Permit for the construction of a cabana in accordance with the Development Plan attached hereto in Zoning Case No. 579 subject to the conditions contained in Section 9. Section 7. Section 17.46.010 of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code requires a development plan to be submitted for site plan review and approval before 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 or structure by more than twenty-five percent (25%) in any thirty-six month period. In addition, a condition of Resolution No. 96-21 required that any modifications to the project which would constitute additional structural development requires the filing of a new application for Site Plan Review approval by the Planning Commission. The applicant is requesting to modify the approved Site Plan by constructing a cabana that requires increased grading. The applicant's latest proposal submitted on April 6, 1998, includes additional grading of 85 cubic yards of cut soil and 85 cubic yards of fill soil for a total of 565 cubic yards of cut soil and 565 cubic yards of fill soil. With respect to this request, the Planning Commission makes the following findings of fact: RESOLUTION NO. 98-14 PAGE 2 • • A. The development is compatible with the General Plan, the Zoning Ordinance and surrounding uses because the proposed grading together with the other improvements on the property complies with the General Plan requirement of low profile, low density residential development with sufficient open space between surrounding structures. The project as modified conforms to Zoning Code setback and lot coverage requirements. The lot has' a net square foot area of 62,471 square feet. The residence (5,079 sq.ft.), attached garage (1,192 sq.ft.),swimming pool (624 sq. ft.), existing stable (320 sq.ft.), service yard (96 sq.ft.); and cabana (220 sq.ft.) will have 7,531 square feet which constitutes 12.1% of the lot which is within the maximum 20% structural lot coverage requirement. The total lot coverage including paved areas and driveway will be 18,571 square feet which equals 29.7% of the lot, which is within the 35% maximum overall lot coverage requirement. The proposed project is on a relatively large lot with the proposed structures located away from the road so as to reduce the visual impact of the development and is similar and compatible with several neighboring developments. The building pad is 26,786 square feet and structural coverage on the building pad is 28.1%. B. The proposed development preserves and integrates 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) because a minimum amount of grading is proposed and will only be done to provide approved drainage that will flow away from the proposed residence and existing neighboring residences. C. The development plan follows natural contours of the site to minimize grading and the natural drainage courses will continue to the canyons at the east side (rear) of this lot. D. The development plan incorporates existing large trees and native vegetation to the maximum extent feasible. Specifically, the development plan preserves several mature trees and shrubs. E. The development plan substantially preserves the natural and undeveloped state of the lot by minimizing building coverage because the new structures will not cause the structural and total lot coverage to be exceeded. The residential and total lot coverage will not exceed the Planning Commission's established guideline. Further, the proposed project is designed to minimize grading. Significant portions of the lot will be left undeveloped so as to maintain scenic vistas across the northerly portions of the property. F. The proposed development, as conditioned, is harmonious in scale and mass with the site, the natural terrain and surrounding residences. As indicated in Paragraph A, the lot coverage maximum will not be exceeded and the proposed project is consistent with the scale of the neighborhood when compared to this RESOLUTION NO. 98-14 PAGE 3 irregular -shaped lot. Grading shall be permitted only to restore the natural slope of the property. G. The proposed development is sensitive and not detrimental to the convenience and safety of circulation for pedestrians and vehicles because the proposed project will utilize the same driveway to Eastfield Drive for access. H. The project conforms with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act and is categorically exempt from environmental review. Section 8. Based upon the foregoing findings, the Planning Commission hereby approves a modification to an approved Site Plan Review application to allow the proposed increased grading on the site for a cabana. The modifications are shown on the Development Plan and marked Exhibit A in Zoning Case No. 579. These approved modifications are subject to the conditions contained in Section 9 of this Resolution. Section 9. The Conditional Use Permit for a cabana approved in Section 6 and the modification to permit the increased grading for the cabana from the amount previously approved in the Site Plan Review application, that is approved in Section 8, as indicated on the Development Plan attached hereto and incorporated herein as Exhibit A in Zoning Case No. 579, are subject to the following list of conditions. These conditions include applicable conditions of approval previously imposed on the Site Plan Review application by Resolution No. 96-21 on December 17, 1996. To the extent these conditions duplicate prior conditions imposed on this project, the conditions set forth herein shall be considered as continuations of those prior requirements: A. The Conditional Use Permit and Site Plan Review approvals shall expire within one year from the effective date of approval as defined in Sections 17.42.070(A) and 17.46.080(A). B. It is declared and made a condition of the Conditional Use Permit and Site Plan Review approvals, that if any conditions thereof are violated, these approvals shall be suspended and the privileges granted thereunder shall lapse; provided that the applicant has been given written notice to cease such violation and has failed to do so for a period of thirty (30) days. C. All requirements of the Buildings 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. RESOLUTION NO. 98-14 PAGE 4 • • D. The lot shall be developed and maintained in substantial conformance with the site plan on file marked, Exhibit A, except as otherwise provided in these conditions. E. The cabana shall not exceed 220 square feet. F. No sleeping quarters or kitchen or other cooking facilities shall be provided within the cabana or detached recreation room. G. No vehicular access or paved parking area shall be developed within 50 feet of the cabana. H. The basement door of the residence shall be solid (without windows) and shall be subject to City staff approval. I. Renting of the cabana is prohibited. J. Any retaining walls incorporated into the project shall not exceed 5 feet in height, averaging no more than 2-1/2 feet. K. Residential building pad coverage shall not exceed 28.1%. L. Maximum disturbed area shall not exceed 39.9% of the net lot area. M. Grading shall not exceed 565 cubic yards of cut soil and 565 cubic yards of fill soil. N. Landscaping shall incorporate and preserve, to the maximum extent feasible, the existing mature trees and shrubs and the natural landscape screening surrounding the proposed building pad. O. Two copies of a landscape plan must be submitted for review by the Planning Department and include native drought -resistant vegetation that will not disrupt the impact of the views of neighboring properties prior to the issuance of any building or grading permit. The landscaping plan submitted must comply with the purpose and intent of the Site Plan Review Ordinance, shall incorporate existing mature trees and native vegetation, and shall utilize to the maximum extent feasible, plants that are native to the area and/or consistent with the rural character of the community. A bond in the amount of the cost estimate of the implementation of the landscaping plan plus 15% shall be required to be posted prior to issuance of a grading and building permit and shall be retained with the City for not less than two years after landscape installation. The retained bond will be released by the City Manager after the City Manager determines that the landscaping was installed RESOLUTION NO. 98-14 PAGE 5 • • pursuant to the landscaping plan as approved, and that such landscaping is properly established and in good condition. P. Prior to the submittal of an applicable final grading plan to the County of Los Angeles for plan check, a detailed grading and drainage plan with related geology, soils and hydrology reports that conform to the development plan as approved by the Planning Commission must be submitted to the Rolling Hills Planning Department staff for their review. Cut and fill slopes must conform to the City of Rolling Hills standard of 2 to 1 slope ratio. Q. . The project must be reviewed and approved by the Rolling Hills Community Association Architectural Review Committee prior to the issuance of any building or grading permit. R. The applicants shall execute an Affidavit of Acceptance of all conditions of this Conditional Use Permit and Site Plan Review, pursuant to Section 17.42.060, or the approval shall not be effective. S. Notwithstanding Section 17.46.070 of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code, any modifications to the project which would constitute additional development shall require the filing of a new application for Site Plan Review approval by the Planning Commission. T. All conditions of these Conditional Use Permit and Site Plan Review approvals must be complied with prior to the issuance of a building or grading permit from the County of Los Angeles.
