An application has been filed by Mr. and Mrs. David Tabah with respect to real property located at 12 Outrider Road, Rolling Hills (Lot 74- EF), Rolling Hills, requesting a modification to a previously approved Site Plan Review for the construction of a new single family residence with attached garage. Section 2. The Commission considered this item at a public hearing on March 21, 1995 and at a field trip visit on April 5, 1995 at which time information was presented indicating the need to add a fourth garage and a small addition to the master bathroom to simplify the roof line in compliance with the Rolling Hills Community Association Architectural Committee. Section 3. Based upon information and evidence submitted, the Planning Commission does hereby amend the following three paragraphs of Resolution No. 94-23, dated November 5, 1994: Paragraph A, Section 8 to read as follows: "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 with the Variances approved in Sections 5 and 7 of this Resolution. The lot has a net square foot area of 85,377 square feet. The proposed residence (2,927 sq.ft.), garage (760 sq.ft.), swimming pool (500 sq.ft.), existing stable (300 sq.ft.), 'and pool house (100 sq.ft.) will have 4,587 square feet which constitutes 5.3% of the lot which is within the maximum 20% structural lot coverage requirement. The total lot coverage including paved areas and driveway will be 10,243 square feet which equals 11.94% of the lot, which is within the 35% maximum overall lot coverage requirement. The proposed project is on a relatively large lot with most of the proposed structures located below the road so as to reduce the visual impact of the development." Paragraph D, Section 10 to read as follows: "The lot shall be developed and maintained in substantial conformance with the site plan on file marked Revised Exhibit "A," dated March 1, 1995, except as otherwise provided in those conditions."

The increase is a fourth garage, which gives a more symmetrical look with two double doors. The total of 117s.f. is added to the garage and 10 s.f. to the master bathroom which enables simplification of the roof line. The total of 127s.f. is an increase of 1.6% of pad coverage, calculated on 8000s.f. build able pad. However with the Planning Commisions permission, if we could calculate the pad to include the approximate 800s.f. front yard set back variance, previously granted to us, the total pad coverage, including the additional square footage would be 42%. This would be well within the 44.4% stated in the resolutions. As these changes are at the request of the Achitechtural Committee and not from us , we are seeking the guidance of the Planning Commision in this matter. one_ 6 vcA \cA Lynne avid Tabah. • C1i olRolling CERTIFIED MAIL November 8, 1994 Mr. and Mrs. David Tabah 12 Outrider Road Rolling Hills, CA 90274 INCORPORATED JANUARY 24, 1957 NO. 2 PORTUGUESE BEND ROAD ROLLING HILLS, CALIF. 90274 (310) 377-1521 FAX: (310) 377-7288 SUBJECT: APPEAL PERIOD AND AFFIDAVIT OF ACCEPTANCE FORM ZONING CASE NO. 516, 12 OUTRIDER ROAD (LOT 74-EF) RESOLUTION NO. 94-23 Dear Mr. and Mrs. Tabah: This letter shall serve as official notification that Zoning Case No. 516 was APPROVED by the Planning Commission and the enclosed resolution was approved on November 5, 1994 at an adjourned regular meeting.

Keller • Sx4;'6:it;4• RESOLUTION NO. 94-23 A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ROLLING HILLS GRANTING A VARIANCE TO PERMIT THE ENCROACHMENT OF A RETAINING WALL INTO THE FRONT YARD SETBACK, GRANTING A VARIANCE TO PERMIT THE ENCROACHMENT OF A PORTION OF A PROPOSED RESIDENCE INTO THE FRONT YARD SETBACK, AND GRANTING SITE PLAN REVIEW APPROVAL FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF A NEW SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE IN ZONING CASE NO. 516. 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. David Tabah with respect to real property located at 12 Outrider Road, Rolling Hills (Lot 74-EF) requesting a Variance to encroach into the front yard setback to permit the construction of a retaining wall into the front yard setback, requesting a Variance to encroach into the front yard setback to permit the encroachment of a portion of a proposed residence into the front yard setback, and requesting Site Plan Review for the construction of a new single family residence to replace an existing single family residence. Section 2. The Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public hearing to consider the applications on August 16, 1994, September 20, 1994, and October 18, 1994, and at a field trip visit on September 13, 1994. Section 3. The Planning Commission finds that the project qualifies as a Class 3 Exemption (State CA Guidelines, Section 15301(e)) and is therefore categorically exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act. Section 4. 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. Section 17.16.110 requires a front yard setback for every residential parcel to be fifty (50) feet. The applicant is requesting to encroach up to a maximum 28 feet into the 50 foot front yard setback to replace an existing retaining wall with a new 95-foot long retaining wall that will not exceed 5 feet in height. With respect to this request for a Variance, the Planning Commission finds as follows: • RESOLUTION NO.94-23° PAGE 2 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 because the lot is of an irregular shape and the existing building pad is located close to the street. The existing retaining wall will be reconstructed to allow open space near the front of the residence. 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 there will not be any grading to create the building pad on this irregular shaped lot and there will not be any greater incursion into the front setback than already exists at other property in the same vicinity. 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. Development on the pad will allow a substantial portion of the lot to remain undeveloped. Section 5. Based upon the foregoing findings, the Planning Commission hereby approves the Variance for Zoning Case No. 516 to permit the construction of a 95-foot long retaining wall that will not exceed 5 feet in height that will encroach a maximum of twenty-eight (28) feet into the front yard setback, as indicated on the development plan submitted with this application and incorporated herein by reference as Exhibit A, subject to the conditions specified in Section 10 of this Resolution. Section 6. The applicant is requesting to construct a residence that will encroach a maximum of twenty (20) feet into the fifty (50) foot front yard setback. With respect to this request for a Variance, 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 because the lot is of an irregular shape and the existing building pad is located close to the street. The sloping rear portion of the lot precludes construction of the residence on the rear portion of the lot. 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 there will not be any grading to create the building pad on this irregular shaped lot and there will not be any greater incursion into the front setback than already exists at other property in the same vicinity. RESOLUTION NO. 94-23 • PAGE 3 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. Development on the pad will allow a substantial portion of the lot to remain undeveloped. Section 7. Based upon the foregoing findings, the Planning Commission hereby approves the Variance for Zoning Case No. 516 to permit portions of the proposed residence to encroach a maximum of twenty (20) feet into the front yard setback, as indicated on the development plan submitted with this application and incorporated herein by reference as Exhibit A, subject to the conditions specified in Section 10 of this Resolution. Section 8. Section 17.46.030 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 by more than twenty-five percent (25%) in any thirty-six (36) month period. 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 with the Variances approved in Sections 5 and 7 of this Resolution: The lot has a net square foot area of 85,377 square feet. The proposed residence (2,917 sq.ft.), garage (633 sq.ft.), existing stable (300 sq.ft.), and pool house (100 sq.ft.) will have 4,450 square feet which constitutes 5.2% of the lot which is within the maximum 20% structural lot coverage requirement. The total lot coverage including paved areas and driveway will be 10,243 square feet which equals 11.99% of the lot, which is within the 35% maximum overall lot coverage requirement. The proposed project is on a relatively large lot with most of the proposed structures located below 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. RESOLUTION NO. 94-23 PAGE 4 • 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. 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 northeasterly 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 torch -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 Outrider Road for access. H. The project conforms with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act and is categorically exempt from environmental review. Section 9. Based upon the foregoing findings, the Planning Commission hereby approves the Site Plan Review application for Zoning Case No. 516 for a proposed residential development as indicated on the development plan incorporated herein as Exhibit A and subject to the conditions contained in Section 10. Section 10. The Variances to the front yard setback approved in Sections 5 and 7, and the Site Plan Review approved in Section 9 of this Resolution are subject to the following conditions: A. The Variance and Site Plan Review approvals shall expire within one year from the effective date of approval as defined in Sections 17.38.070 and 17.48.0080. B. It is declared and made a condition of the Variance and Site Plan Review approvals, that if any conditions thereof are violated, this approval 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. RESOLUTION NO. 94-23 PAGE 5 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. 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. All retaining walls incorporated into the project shall not be greater than 5 feet in height at any one point. F. Residential building pad coverage shall not exceed 44.4%. F. 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. G. 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 shall not exceed a steepness of a 2 to 1 slope ratio. • H. 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. I. 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. J. All conditions of these Variance 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. K. The applicant shall execute an Affidavit of Acceptance of all conditions of these Variance and Site Plan Review approvals, or the approvals shall not be effective.

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. David Tabah with respect to real property located at 12 Outrider Road, Rolling Hills (Lot 74-EF) requesting a Variance to permit an encroachment into the rear yard setback to construct a sports court and requesting a Conditional Use Permit for the construction of the same sports court at an existing single family residence. Section 2. The Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public hearing to consider the applications on March 18, 1997 and April 15, 1997, and at a field trip visit on April 5, 1997. Section 3. On February 24, 1997, Planning staff prepared an initial study for the project. The initial study found that the project would not have a significant effect on the environment. A Negative Declaration was prepared and was circulated to the applicant and other interested parties in accordance with State of California CEQA Guidelines. The public notice of the Planning Commission's intent to recommend approval of the Negative Declaration was published on February 27, 1997. Copies of the Negative Declaration were sent to adjacent cities and other government agencies. No comments on the Negative Declaration were received. The Planning Commission finds that the project will not have a significant effect on the environment and adopted a Negative Declaration in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act. Section 4. 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. Section 17.16.130 requires a rear yard setback for every residential parcel in the RA-S zone to be fifty (50) feet. The applicant is requesting to construct a 2,450 square foot sports court which will encroach a maximum of eighteen (18) feet into the fifty (50) foot rear yard setback. With respect to this request for a Variance, the Planning Commission finds as follows: RESOLUTION NO. 97-8 PAGE 1 97 1083039 J • • 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 because the lot is irregular in shape and the proposed sports court pad is located on a hillside slope within the rear yard and away from the street. 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 there is a nearby tennis court, there will be minimum grading to create the building pad on this irregular shaped lot, and there will not be any greater incursion into the rear yard than what already exists on other properties in the same vicinity. C. The granting of the Variance would not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to the property or improvements insuch vicinity and zone in which the property is located. Development on the pad will allow a substantial portion of the lot to remain undeveloped. Section 5. Based upon the foregoing findings, the Planning., Commission hereby approves the Variance for Zoning Case No. 550 to permit the construction of a 2,450 square foot sports court that will encroach a maximum of eighteen (18) feet into the rear yard setback, as indicated on the development plan submitted with this application and incorporated herein by reference as Exhibit A, subject to the conditions specified in Section 8 of this Resolution. Section 6. Section 17.16.210(A)(7) of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code allows for the construction of a sports court provided a Conditional Use Permit for such use is approved by the Rolling Hills Planning Commission. With respect to the request for a Conditional Use Permit for a 2,450 square foot sports court, the Planning Commission makes the following findings: A.. The granting of a Conditional Use Permit for a sports court 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 recreational uses in the community and the court will be located in an area of the property where such use will be the least intrusive to surrounding properties. B. The granting of the Conditional Use Permit would be consistent with the purposes and objectives of the Zoning Ordinance and General Plan because the sports court will comply with the low profile residential development pattern of the community and is located on a 2.1 acre parcel of property that is adequate in size, shape and topography to accommodate such use. C. The granting of a Conditional Use Permit would be consistent with the purposes and objectives of the Zoning Ordinance and General Plan because the RESOLUTION NO. 97-8 PAGE2 97 1083039 • • sports court will not impact the view or the privacy of neighbors. The hard -surfaced area will require a minimum amount of grading and will be screened by landscaping. Section 7. Based upon the foregoing findings, the Planning Commission hereby approves the request for a Conditional Use Permit in Zoning Case No. 550 for a proposed 2,450 square foot sports court, as shown on the Development Plan dated January 16, 1997 and marked Exhibit A, subject to the conditions specified in Section 8. Section 8. The Variance to permit a sports court to encroach into the rear yard setback approved in Section 5 and the Conditional Use Permit for the construction of a 2,450 square foot sports court approved in Section 7 as indicated on the Development Plan attached hereto and incorporated herein as Exhibit A dated January 16, 1997, is subject to the following conditions: A. The Conditional Use Permit approval shall expire within one year from the effective date of approval as defined in Section 17.42.070(A). B. It is declared and made a condition of the Conditional Use Permit approval, that if any conditions thereof are violated, the Permit 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 Building and Construction Ordinance, the Zoning Ordinance, and of the zone in which the subject property is located must be complied with unless otherwise approved by Variance. D. The lot shall be developed and maintained in substantial conformance with the site plan on file marked Exhibit A dated January 16, 1997, except as otherwise provided in these conditions. E. The property on which the project is located shall contain an area of sufficient size to also provide an area meeting all standards for a stable and corral with vehicular access thereto. F. Structural lot coverage shall not exceed 7,037 square feet or 8.2% and total lot coverage of structures and paved areas shall not exceed 12,505 square feet or 14.6%. G. A drainage system approved by the City Engineer shall be incorporated into the overall plan of the sports court and the surrounding landscaped areas. H. Grading for construction of the sports court shall not exceed 20 cubic yards of cut soil and 20 cubic yards of fill soil. RESOLUTION NO. 97-8 PAGE 3 97 1083039 I. Any grading for the sports court shall preserve the existing topography, flora, and natural features to the greatest extent possible. K. Landscape screening shall be planted to obscure the sports court at the southeast portion of the sports court. L. The landscape screening at the southeast portion of the court shall continue to be maintained so as not to obstruct views of neighboring properties but to obscure the sports court. M. Lighting for the sports court shall not be permitted. N. All retaining walls incorporated into the sports court shall not be greater than four feet in height at any point. Exposed exterior retaining walls shall not be permitted. O. Any screening fences for the sports court shall be landscaped and not exceed 8 feet in height. P. Noise from the hard -surfaced area use shall not create a nuisance to owners of surrounding properties. Q. Review and approval of a site drainage plan by the City Engineer shall be obtained for the sports court. R. A plan that conforms to the development plan as approved by the Planning Commission must be submitted to the Rolling Hills Planning Department staff for their review prior to the submittal of an applicable site drainage plan to the County of Los Angeles for plan check. S. The project must be reviewed and approved by the Rolling Hills Community Association Architectural Review Committee prior to approval of the drainage plan. T. The working drawings submitted to the County Department of Building and Safety for site drainage plan review must conform to the development plan described at the beginning of this section (Section 8). U. The applicant shall execute an Affidavit of Acceptance of all conditions of this Variance and Conditional Use Permit pursuant to Sections 17.38.060 and 17.42.060, or the approval shall not be effective. V. All conditions of this Conditional Use Permit approval must be complied with prior to approval of the site drainage plan by the County of Los Angeles.

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. David Tabah with respect to real property located at 12 Outrider Road, Rolling Hills (Lot 74- EF), Rolling Hills, requesting a modification to a previously approved Site Plan Review for the construction of a new single family residence with attached garage. Section 2. The Commission considered this item at a public hearing on March 21, 1995 and at a field trip visit on April 5, 1995 at which time information was presented indicating the need to add a fourth garage and a small addition to the master bathroom to simplify the roof line in compliance with the Rolling Hills Community Association Architectural Committee. Section 3. Based upon information and evidence submitted, the Planning Commission does hereby amend the following three paragraphs of Resolution No. 94-23, dated November 5, 1994: Paragraph A, Section 8 to read as follows: "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 with the Variances approved in Sections 5 and 7 of this Resolution. The lot has a net square foot area of 85,377 square feet. The proposed residence (2,927 sq.ft.), garage (760 sq.ft.), swimming pool (500 sq.ft.), existing stable (300 sq.ft.), and pool house (100 sq.ft.) will have 4,587 square feet which constitutes 5.3% of the lot which is within the maximum 20% structural lot coverage requirement. The total lot coverage including paved areas and driveway will be 10,243 square feet which equals 11.94% of the lot, which is within the 35% maximum overall lot coverage requirement. The proposed project is on a relatively large lot with most of the proposed structures located below the road so as to reduce the visual impact of the development."

Tabah 3348 Corinna Drive, Rancho Palos Verdes, CA 90274 PRE -ESCROW GEOTECHNICAL INSPECTION FOR EXISTING DISTRESS -Introduction - At your request, a geological inspection was made at # 12 Outrider, City of Rolling Hills, CA on December 1, 1993. The purpose of the inspection was to disclose any physical distress to the house or site that could be attributed to geologic or soil processes. The home was inspected for any signs of soil movement or ground failure by observing the interior walls and exterior of the house as well as foundation footing where exposed. A geologic reconnaissance of the area was also made for existing landsliding or its potential. Geologic references for the area are provided. It is my conclusion that the structure has not suffered from geologic processes since construction in 1950, nor is there any sign of distress due to soil expansivity or settlement at the time of this inspection. None of the above is anticipated in view of the absence of expansive soil supporting the structure in the absence of active faulting or ground failure such as major or minor landsliding. The pool appears to be located -in bedrock or at least partially_in_bedrmk _Thb pool was constructed in 1978 to the best of my knowledge. The Department of Public Works of L. A. County, located in Alhambra, may have a record of the pool construction in the Materials Division files. This record may contain a geological report pertinant to the permit required for the pool. Site Description A single family one story concrete block building is situated on a level pad created by cutting into in -place bedrock. It is my understanding that the structure was built in 1950. Geologic investigations were not required by the Code until 1962. Geologic information regarding the geology of the site would not exist in the Materials Division files of the Department of Public Works of L. A. County. Access to the site is obtained via a steep sinuous asphalt driveway from Outrider Road to pad level. The pad is located on the upper portion of the lot overlooking the South Bay area of the Los Angeles Basin and the City of San Pedro (Port of Los Angeles). The slope of the ridge on which the lot is situated dips to the southeast at about 8-10 degrees or 18% gradient. The slope is adjacent to an east trending canyon. The site drains well by sheet wash or sprinklers. Subdrains were installed and appear to be working. The lot was apparently cut into slope wash materials adjacent to Outrider Road. These slope wash materials overlie bedrock at shallow depth as exposed adjacent to the garage. Excavated materials were placed in the back of the lot as artificial fill to form a back yard level area. Judging from the height of the cut, and width of the house, the slab supporting the house appears to be totally in bedrock of the Altamira member shales of the Monterey Formation. 2. The lot has been terraced by similar cut and fill excavations. A swimming pool is located on the upper cut terrace below the back yard area. Subsurface Conditions •Residual Soil - Before grading operations were initiated, the original soil materials covering the original slope consisted of a thin mantle of black adobe soil overlying slope wash . Excavated adobe soil from the slope was mixed with underlying slope wash materials and bedrock shales to form the back yard portion of the buildable site. This fill was probably designed to drain at a 2% gradient. This gradient still exists and appears substantially unchanged by expansive soils or settlement of soils. -Slope Wash - According to the mapping done by the California Division of Mines and Geology, published as Map Sheet 27, 1976, ancient slope wash materials existed over shales and siltstone bedrock at this site. Slope wash materials consist of silt and sand with sparse to very abundant rock fragments. It is generally crudely stratified to unstratified and loose and uncompacted. Where utilized for foundation support, it is commonly excavated and recompacted to building code specifications to support building foundations . As noted above, this building appears to be founded on cut bedrock shales. -Bedrock- The entire area is underlain by bedrock of the Altamira shale member of the Monterey Formation of mid - Miocene age. These solid sedimentary deposits are ancient, approximately 20 million years old . At this site the rocks contain hard siliceous shales, sandy shales and siltstones interbedded with limestone and dolomite beds. Bedrock underlying slope wash materials at this site are exposed by a near vertical cut adjacent to the garage. The bedrock attitude is North 60 degrees West and dips to the east at 50 degrees from the horizontal . This is a favorable attitude for bedrock stability under the site. Apparent lack of ground failure (landsliding and slumping) attest to the overall gross stability of the site development since 1950. The lower terrace cuts probably expose bedrock at shallow depth, but are presently covered by a soil mantle and the pool. Verification of this bedrock on these lower cut Terraces can be performed by shallow hand dug pits to a depth of at least 5 feet or less. Erosion and Drainage Drainage is positive with no evidence of ponding. No erosion on the front and rear slope is evident. Roof drains are provided, as well as subdrains serving the access driveway and back yard patio. Structural Integrity of the House Careful observation of the interior and exterior walls did not reveal any oriented stressfull relationships. The walls are constructed of concrete blocks resembling adobe brick. They are painted white, both inside and outside. Open beam ceilings did not reveal any stress related openings. Doors and windows are both square and non -binding within the accuracy of original construction limits. Apparently the house is supported on a slab foundation, covered by carpeting and terra cota flooring. Signs of distress on the flooring could not be observed; none could be observed on the bathroom tile. The brick chimney showed A. G. KEENE, STATE CERTIFIED ENGINEERING GEOLOGIST NO. 16, TEL.

It was noted that the chimney was reinforced with seismic bars on the exterior. All structural elements of the house were vertical and square, showing no evidence of distress due to soil settlement or expansion. The garage serving the house was originally a carport. An apparent new slab was poured and is suffering some dessication cracks not related to soil distress. Such cracks are common in new slabs. The slab was founded on bedrock. Pool A swimming pool, located in the back yard area on the cut terrace below the back yard shows no signs of tilting. The brick decking around the pool is reported to have been replaced relatively recently. It too shows no signs of distress. It is probably founded in bedrock material. This can be verified by reference to a geological report required for permit issuance. This report should be on file with the County of Los Angeles Department of Public Works, Materials Division. Landslidine and Shunning No landslides were observed on this site at the time of inspection. None are shown by the California Division of Mines and Geology, Map Sheet 27. No slumping of slopes in the adjacent canyon is evident . Seismicity According to the Division of Mines and Geology, Map Sheet 27.shows .that the lot may be underlain by a fault trending across its toe area orperhaps.onthe adjacent lots. This fault is queried. If it truly exists, it would be a sympathetic fault related to the Cabrillo Fault zone mapped by Woodring, Bramlette and Kew, U.S.G.S. Professional Paper 207, 1946. This fault is not part of the Alquist-Priolo Special Studies Zone. There is no documented evidence to support the supposition that this fault system (zone) is an active fault zone as alleged by some geologic researchers. There certainly has been no evidence of historic activity. Even the slope wash materials underlying the site and which are thousands of years old were not mapped as being affected by any fault of any historic or ancient age. Liquifaction or settlement of soils are not hazards due to seismicity because of the presence of bedrock and the absence of a shallow ground water table. Limited damage from ground shaking will be common to all homes on the peninsula, most likely due to earthquakes generated on the nearby active Newport - Inglewood Fault Uplift about 14 miles northeast of the site. Damage suffered due to seismic shaking will not be peculiar to this site but will be common to all homes built on the peninsula. Recent earthquake activity along the Whittier Fault in the City of Whittier did not manifest itself by settlement of any fill on site or bedrock disruption. CONCLUSIONS The house and site are not affected by soil creep, soil settlement, soil expansion or soil erosion. The overall site is not affected by regional geological instability such as landsliding or active faulting. Slopes behind and in front show no slumping or erosion features. Distress in the house or its foundations could A. G. KEENE, STATE CERTIFIED ENGINEERING GEOLOGIST NO. 16, TEL. (213) 537-6615 2601 E. Victoria St., # 308, Rancho Dominguez, Ca., 90220 not be detected. Even flatwork around the house, such as walkways and patios, show no signs of soil instability resulting in random cracks. It was noted that the asphalt driveway appears to be newly paved. Alphalt driveways can age quickly because of poor subbase materials. An alternative access, as discussed in the field , could feasibly be placed on the lot in the area of the horse corral and shed and the present garage be converted to living quarters. The house could be expanded behind the garage and west of the seepage pit and still be on bedrock . An alternative garage could be placed partially on fill and bedrock in the area of the horse shed. Modification of the house and driveway will require a permit from the City of Rolling Hills. A detailed geotechnical report based upon the proposed plan of development would be required by the County. Closure This report is a geological inspection for existing distress and does not constitute a technical inspection for proposed construction or repair. This report complies with the intent of the California Civil Code, Section 1102 , effective January, 1987, and therefore constitutes a disclosure of any existing physical distress on the subject lot due to geological soil processes.
