This condition F was in response to the City's concerns regarding potential on -site and off -site drainage issues. Existing Conditions: The subject property is located, on the east side of Caballeros Road with approximately 140' of frontage. The side lot lines diverge and the lot width expands slightly as one moves easterly. The lot depth is approximately 580' in the east -west direction. The lot gently slopes away from Caballeros Road for the first 200'. This area provides the pad for the existing single family home located on this lot. The lot then descends at a steep slope to another pad area with a small barn. Two additional slopes and pads occur until the rear property line is reached. At the rear property line is a drainage course which collects runoff from all of the area Tots that backup to it and directs the water to the north. This drainage course is approximately 120' lower than Caballeros Road which provides sufficient slope to encourage the surface drainage on this lot to move from west to east down to the drainage course. The neighboring lots on the north and south are similarly sized and have similar on -site drainage patterns. There are very small areas along the north and south property lines of the subject lot which are subject to minor • • cross lot drainage. This is caused by existing, localized landscape features and surface anomalies and is common in Tots such as these that were subdivided and developed in the 1950's. The Concentrated Surface Drainage Sources of Potential Concern: The following sources of drainage were observed and investigated: 1. The location and direction of relevant flows from the existing roof and existing rear yard deck drains. 2. The location and direction of the over flow discharge drainage from in the recently relocated koi pond. 3. The discharge flow from the koi pond filters when backwashing occurs. 4. The direction and volume of flows from the existing landscape sprinklers. Roof and Deck Drains Most of the rain fall on the front 200' of this lot is intercepted by the roof or rear yard deck areas. The large rear yard deck has about a dozen properly installed deck drains interspersed within the pool, spa and koi pond deck areas and the some landscaped areas. These deck drains are connected to an underground pipe system. The roof of this large (4,400 sf) single story home drains to rain gutters and a downspout system which is connected to the same underground pipe system as the deck drains. This existing underground system was observed to discharge to a 4"outlet pipe which located approximately in the middle of the lot. This outlet had an elevation at least 30' lower than the rear deck area. An earthen trench led away from this outlet and carried the water to, the east. None of this water could be considered as cross lot drainage. If this underground pipe system were to be blocked or otherwise fail, it is estimated that 99% of the runoff would wind up in the same drainage course at the rear of the property, based on the contours observed. • • Pond Overflow The recently reconstructed koi pond has its own overflow drain located within the pond and is about 4" below the edge of the koi pond deck. The 3" overflow drain within the pond is connected to the same underground pipe system as the deck drains described above. This drain is about 40' southerly of the northerly sideyard property line. A small portion of this pond was inadvertently originally built within the required 6' wide northerly setback area. As required, the encroaching portions of the koi pond were removed from said setback area, thereby restoring the topography to its original condition which existed prior to the pond's construction. If this overflow drain were to fail and the koi pond overflowed it is estimated that 80% of the water would spill onto the deck and enter the deck drains. Perhaps 20% would spill into the northerly sideyard setback area and head easterly, though a very small amount may cross the northerly property line as it has done for the last 60 years from the original topographic condition. The fences on the side property lines are decorative rail fences with no footings and are not designed to prevent cross lot water movement. The land under these fences is relatively flat in the north -south direction making the north -south movement of water unpredictable (as it always has been) in this approximately 100 linear foot area near the pond. Pond Filter Backwashinq, Back washing of the koi pond dual filter system is entirely enclosed and the discharge is directed into an underground 3" pvc pipe which is directed down the hill to, the middle of the this lot where it flows downhill easterly within the subject property. Sprinkler Systems All sprinkler systems were operated and observed. None of the stations created any cross lot drainage. Over flows from sprinklers that may operate too long will drain to the east within the property lines of the subject property. There were broken irrigation pipes and sprinkler heads observed in the northerly sideyard setback area near the koi pond, but these appear to be owned by the neighbor to the north and were therefore encroaching onto the subject property. They have been cutoff and abandoned and will be removed in the future. • • Conclusion and Recommendation The four sources of runoff described above cover all possible sources. A field survey and topography map would reveal nothing more than these same field observations that have been made by an experienced engineer. If a requirement is imposed to eliminate any possibility of cross lot drainage between this subject lot and its neighbors it is recommended that a stone footing curbline be built along the north side property line. The stones should be approximately 12" by 12" by 6" (half buried for stability), laid in contact with one another forming a barrier to water movement. The soil on the south side of this footing should be raked with a hand rake to form a shallow channel whose centerline is running parallel to and 3' away from this footing. Raking the soil up against the stone to create the channel would leave about'/4 of the stone visible. A maximum of 100 linear feet should handle all of the questionable areas. An alternate to this buried stone would be a buried 8"x 8" reinforced concrete footing covered in decorative stone veneer. Should you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to call on us.

THE PROJECT HAS BEEN DETERMINED TO BE EXEMPT FROM THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA). THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ROLLING HILLS DOES HEREBY FIND, RESOLVE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Application was duly filed by Mrs. Hanna Kwon with respect to real property located at 7 Caballeros, Rolling Hills (Lot 33-SK) requesting to retain an "as built" 409 square foot waterfall with koi pond and 1,076 square foot trellis in the side yard setback at an existing single family residence. Section 2. In April 2008 it came to the attention of staff from the adjacent property owner, that the applicant was renovating a koi pond and adjoining water cascade, both of which were located within the north side yard. The City inspected the property and initially determined that the nature of the work was the replacement of existing structures and therefore could remain in place and be renovated. This determination was made based on a site visit and phone conversations with the previous property owner, who stated that the koi pond and the cascade were on the property since before she moved into the house in the early 1980's. Section 3. The City of Rolling Hills Zoning Code regarding encroachment into setbacks was contradictory in the 1970's and 1980's. The definition on setbacks called for the setbacks to be free of structures, whereas under a separate section on accessory structures it stated, "minor structures could be located in setbacks". "Minor structures" were not defined. According to the previous RHCA Manager, ponds, fountains, outdoor kitchens and similar "minor" structures were regularly approved in setbacks. However, such structures would have required a building permit. There are no building permits on record for the koi pond or the cascading feature, although there are permits on record for the swimming pool and the spa. According to the building official, the koi pond and the water feature could have been a part of the approval for the pool, but not specifically called out on the permit. Section 4. In September 2008, staff was informed that the applicant began construction on a detached open -roofed trellis that covered and extended somewhat beyond the koi pond and that the water feature was larger than the one previously located in the area. Staff investigated further and determined that the trellis, pond and cascade exceeded the scope, in both size and location, of the pre-existing structures. Staff informed the owner of this determination and that their options were to either remove the trellis, pond and water features from the setback or apply for a Variance to retain them in the side setback.

Subsequently you stated to me that you would be out of the country for the next two Planning Commission meetings, which are scheduled on July 20 and August 17, 2010. Pursuant to State Law, the Planning Commission must act on a development case within certain period of time or the case is automatically approved. They may continue the case for additional 90-days with the applicant's permission. Due to the fact that you will not be available at the next two meetings, it is required that you sign permission for the Planning Commission to continue their deliberation on your case to the September 21, 2010 meeting. Before you left we spoke about this document, but you failed to come to City Hall to sign it. Therefore, I am enclosing the form for you to sign. The form must be returned to the City before the next meeting (July 20), or I will have no choice but to prepare a Resolution of Denial of your case for the August 17 Planning Commission meeting, so that the Commission may act on the case. Your husband or your architect could also sign the document. If your architect, I will need a statement from you or your husband that he (the architect) is authorized to act on your behalf to sign the extension letter and then I can mail him the letter or he can pick it up.

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Kwon: Pursuant to state law the City's staff has completed a preliminary review of the application noted above and finds that additional information is required to complete our review, as follows: 1. The net lot area (nla) calculation submitted (90,091 square feet) is incorrect. As shown in the attached handout, the net lot area excludes not only the roadway easement area but also a strip 10 feet wide along the entire perimeter of the lot, measured from the boundary of the roadway easement. Please re -calculate and submit corrected data. Please also adjust other data that was based on the incorrect nla, including: "structural coverage": nla covered by structures= max. 20% - see below for exclusions. "total lot coverage": nla covered by structures and impervious surfaces = max. 35%. 2. Please review and adjust as necessary the square footage of detached small structures that may be excluded from the structural coverage calculation. Please note that all attached and detached structures, including trellises, porches, breezeways and entryways are to be counted towards structural coverage. However, up to five detached structures comprising 800 square feet total may be excluded if they each do not exceed 12 feet in height and a maximum of 120 square feet. The types of excluded structures include: storage sheds (maximum of 2 can be excluded), trellises and covered patios (may exceed 120 sq. ft), outdoor bars, kitchens, fireplaces, gazebos, roofed play forts (maximum 15 ft in height), and fountains, ponds and similar structures. 3. Please note the square footage separately for each structure on the data sheet including pool, spa (list sq. ft of spa as a separate item from pool), service yard (utility area where trash cans are stored), detached or attached trellis, attached covered porch, pond, raised deck. Please locate and label these items as applicable on the site plan. Mr. and Mrs. Kwon March 18, 2010 Page 2 I--.a+a-w 4. Please correct the front setback dimension (50 feet)which is measured from the roadway easement boundary, not property line as shown on the site plan. 5. Trellis documentation: please provide any evidence that the subject trellis was pre- existing. The prior owner (Cho) may provide a written statement. 6. You may make the requested changes by hand on the already submitted plans. A copy of the original calculations and handout are attached. Please make/submit all requested changes no later than March 29, 2010 and we will prepare this matter for the initial Planning Commission hearing, tentatively scheduled for April 20, 2010. Please call me if you have any questions at (310) 377-1521.
