BACKGROUND 1. The Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. 2004-14, which is attached, on May 18, 2004 at their regular meeting granting a request for a Site Plan Review for grading and construction for a new single family residence at 3 Eucalyptus Lane. The vote was 5-0. 2. The applicants request a Site Plan Review to construct a 5,530 square foot residence, 973 square foot garage, 800 square foot swimming pool with a spa, future stable and a service yard. A 2,640 square foot basement is also proposed. The ridge height of the proposed residence will vary from 17 feet to 19'6" from the finished grade. 3. The property is zoned RAS-1 and is 2.06 acres (gross) in size and 72,744 square feet (1.66 acres) net. The lot is currently developed with a 2,880 square foot residence, 750 square foot detached garage and a 238 square foot shed. The original house was built in 1945, with several additions constructed in 1949 and 1957. 4. Access to the property will be through a driveway approach, located 30' to the east of the existing approach. The existing approach and driveway will be closed off and the area landscaped. There is no driveway opposite the proposed one, and no interference will occur with the ingress/egress to adjacent properties. Access to the future stable will be through the existing easement, not to exceed 25% in slope. ZC No. 685 1 @Printed on Recycled Paper, 5. Grading for the project will require 1,935 cubic yards of cut soil and 1,935 cubic yards of fill, which will be balanced on site. A block wall, ranging in height from 5 feet to ground level will be constructed along the eastern edge of the new building pad to hold the fill. 6. The net lot area of the lot is 72,744 square feet. Grading is proposed to create a greater building pad than currently exists. The residential building pad is proposed at 26,580 square feet and includes the area set aside for the stable and corral. Building pad coverage on the 26,580 square foot residential building pad is proposed at 7,849 square feet or 29.5%. Currently, theresidential building pad outside the setbacks is 19,520 square feet, with coverage of 19.8%. 7. The structural net lot coverage proposed is 7,849 square feet or 10.8%, which includes the residence, garage, pool, service yard and future stable, (20% permitted); and the total lot coverage proposed including the structures and paved areas is 13,529 square feet or 18.6%, (35% permitted). 8. Disturbed area of the lot will be 28,720, square feet or 39.5%, (40% permitted) of. the net lot area. Disturbance includes any remedial grading (temporary disturbance), - any graded slopes and building pad areas, and any nongraded area where impervious surfaces will remain or are proposed to be added. Currently approximately 22.3% of the net lot is disturbed. 9. The drainage plan shows that the front of the property will drain towards Eucalyptus Lane in a northeasterly direction. However, most of this water will be - collected via a 12-inch above ground swale in a catch basin located to the east of the front edge of the house. A wall not to exceed 5 feet in height will be constructed behind the swale. The rear of the property will drain in an easterly direction through.= underground pipes and will discharge onto a concrete dissipater on the downslope of the property. 10. Utilities to the structures will be placed underground. 11. The Rolling Hills Community Association will review the proposed project at a later date. 12. The project has been determined to be categorically exempt pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). 13. Staff received two letters of support for this project from neighbors, which are attached. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Council receive and file the staff report, or provide direction to staff.

Sincerely, Amy & Anthony D'Ambra RESOLUTION NO.2004-14 A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ROLLING HILLS GRANTING A SITE PLAN REVIEW APPROVAL FOR GRADING AND CONSTRUCTION OF A NEW SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE TO REPLACE AN EXISTING RESIDENCE IN ZONING CASE NO. 685 AT 3 EUCALYPTUS LANE (LOT 53-RH), (PIEPER). THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ROLLING HILLS DOES HEREBY FIND, RESOLVE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. An application was duly filed by Mr. and Mrs. Jeffrey Pieper with respect to real property located at 3 Eucalyptus Lane, (Lot 53-RH), Rolling Hills, CA requesting a Site Plan Review to permit grading and construction for a new 5,530 square foot single family residence, 973 square foot garage, 800 square foot swimming pool/spa, service yard and 450 square foot future stable. A 2,640 square foot basement is also proposed. Section 2. The Planning Commission conducted duly noticed public hearings to consider the application on March 16, and April 20, 2004 and at a field trip visit on April 20, 2004. The applicants were notified of the public hearings in writing by first class mail. Evidence was heard and presented from all persons interested in affecting said proposal and from members of the City staff and the Planning Commission having reviewed, analyzed and studied said proposal. The applicant and his representatives were in attendance at the hearings. Section 3. The property is zoned RAS-1 and is 2.06 acres (gross) in size and 1.7 acres net. The existing residence will be demolished. A new driveway to the residence is proposed to be constructed off Eucalyptus Lane. Section 4. 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 5. Section 17.46.030 requires a development plan to be submitted for site plan review and approval before any grading 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 requesting construction of the new house, 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 net lot area of the lot is 72,744 square feet, (1.7 acres). The proposed residence (5,530 sq.ft.), garage (973 sq.ft.), service yard (96 sq.ft.), swimming pool (800 sq.ft.) and future stable (450 sq.ft.) will have 7,849 square feet of structures, which constitutes 10.8% of the net lot which is within the maximum 20% structural lot coverage requirement. A 2,640 square foot basement is proposed for this development The total lot coverage including all structures, paved areas and driveway will be 13,529 square feet, which constitutes 18.6% of the net lot which is within the 35% maximum overall net lot coverage requirement. The proposed project is screened from the road so as to reduce the visual impact of the development. The disturbed area of the lot will be 39.5%, which is within the 40% maximum permitted, and includes the stable. B. The development plan substantially preserves the natural and undeveloped state of the lot by minimizing building coverage because the new structure will not cause the lot to look overdeveloped. Significant portions of the lot will be left undeveloped so as to maintain open space on the property. The nature, condition, and development of adjacent uses, buildings, and structures and the topography of the lot have been considered, and the construction of the new house will not adversely affect or be materially detrimental to the adjacent uses, buildings, or structures because the proposed structure will be constructed on a portion of the lot which is the least intrusive to surrounding properties, will be screened and landscaped with trees and shrubs, is a sufficient distance from nearby residences so that the proposed structure will not impact the view or privacy of surrounding neighbors, and will substantially utilize the existing building pad for the new construction. C. 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 set forth in the Zoning Code will not be exceeded and the proposed project is consistent with the scale of the neighborhood. D. The development plan incorporates existing trees and native vegetation to the maximum extent feasible. Specifically, the development plan preserves dense brush and shrubs and supplements it with landscaping that is compatible with and enhances the rural character of the community. E. The development plan follows natural contours of the site to minimize grading and retain the natural drainage courses. Grading for this project will involve 1,935 cubic yards of cut and 1,935 cubic yards of fill and will be balanced on site. Most of the soil will be generated by excavation for the pool and basement. F. The proposed development is sensitive and not detrimental to the convenience and safety of circulation for pedestrians and vehicles because access will remain from Eucalyptus Lane. G. The project conforms to the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act and is exempt. Section 6. Based upon the foregoing findings, the Planning Commission hereby approves the Site Plan Review application for Zoning Case No. 685 for grading and for Resolution No. 2004-14 Pieper • • construction of a new residence, as shown on the Development Plan dated March 10, 2004, and marked Exhibit A, subject to the following conditions: A.

The nature, condition, and development of adjacent uses, buildings, and structures and the, topography of the lot have been considered, and the construction of the new house will not adversely affect or be materially detrimental to the adjacent uses, buildings, or structures because the proposed structure will be constructed on a portion of the lot which is the least intrusive to surrounding properties, will be screened and landscaped with trees and shrubs, is a sufficient distance from nearby residences so that the proposed structure will not impact the view or privacy of surrounding neighbors, and will substantially utilize the existing building pad for the new construction. C. 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 set forth in the Zoning Code will not be exceeded and the proposed project is consistent with the scale of the neighborhood. D. The development plan incorporates existing trees and native vegetation to the maximum extent feasible. Specifically, the development plan preserves dense brush and shrubs and supplements it with landscaping that is compatible with and enhances the rural character of the community. E. The development plan follows natural contours of the site to minimize grading and retain the natural drainage courses. Grading for this project will involve 1,935 cubic yards of cut and 1,935 cubic yards of fill and will be balanced on site. Most of the soil will be generated by excavation for the pool and basement. F. The proposed development is sensitive and not detrimental to the convenience and safety of circulation for pedestrians and vehicles because access will remain from Eucalyptus Lane. G. The project conforms to the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act and is exempt. Section 6. Based upon the foregoing findings, the Planning Commission hereby approves the Site Plan Review application for Zoning Case No. 685 for grading and for Resolution No. 2004-14 Pieper 2 construction of a new residence, as shown on the Development Plan dated March 10, 2004, and marked Exhibit A, subject to the following conditions: A.

JEFFREY PIEPER DOUGLAS McHATTIE, BOLTON ENGINEERING MARCH 6, 2004 Request for a Site Plan Review for grading and construction of a new single family residence with a pool and spa, to replace an existing residence. BACKGROUND 1. The Planning Commission visited the subject property tonight. 2. The applicants request a Site Plan Review to construct a 5,530 square foot residence, 973 square foot garage, 800 square foot swimming pool with a spa, future stable and a service yard. A 2,640 square foot basement is also proposed. The ridge height of the proposed residence will vary from 15 feet to 17'6" from the finished grade. 3. The property is zoned RAS-1 and is 2.06 acres (gross) in size and 72,744 square feet (1.66 acres) net. The lot is currently developed with a 2,880 square foot residence, 750 square foot detached garage and a 238 square foot shed. The original house was built in 1945, with several additions constructed in 1949 and 1957. 4. The applicants propose to move the existing driveway approximately 30 feet to the east. Access to the future stable will be through the existing easement, not to exceed 25% in slope. After consulting with the Traffic Commission Chairman, staff was directed to inspect and administratively determine the impact of the proposed driveway approach. The approach will be 30' to the east of the existing approach on a straight line from the existing driveway. There is no driveway opposite the proposed one, and no interference will occur with the ingress/egress to adjacent properties. ZC No. 685 P1ng.Comm. 4/20/04 1 Printed on Recycled Paper • • 5. Grading for the project will require 1,935 cubic yards of cut soil and 1,935 cubic yards of fill, which will be balanced on site. A block wall, ranging in height from 5 feet to ground level will be constructed along the eastern edge of the new building pad to hold the fill. 6. The net lot area of the lot is 72,744 square feet. Grading is proposed to create a greater building pad than currently exists. The residential building pad is proposed at 26,580 square feet and includes the area set aside for the stable and corral. Building pad coverage on the 26,580 square foot residential building pad is proposed at 7,849 square feet or 29.5%. Currently, the residential building pad outside the setbacks is 19,520 square feet, with coverage of 19.8%. 7. The structural net lot coverage proposed is 7,849 square feet or 10.8%, which includes the residence, garage, pool, service yard and future stable, (20% permitted); and the total lot coverage proposed including the structures and paved areas is 13,529 square feet or 18.6%, (35% permitted). 8. Disturbed area of the lot will be 28,720, square feet or 39.5%, (40% permitted) of the net lot area. Disturbance includes any remedial grading (temporary disturbance), any graded slopes and building pad areas, and any nongraded area where impervious surfaces will remain or are proposed to be added. Currently approximately 22.3% of the net lot is disturbed. 9. The drainage plan shows that the front of the property will drain towards Eucalyptus Lane in a northeasterly direction. However, most of this water will be collected via a 12-inch above ground swale in a catch basin located to the east of the front edge of the house. A wall not to exceed 5 feet in height will be constructed behind the swale. The rear of the property will drain in an easterly direction through underground pipes and will discharge onto a concrete dissipater on the downslope of the property. 10. Utilities to the structures will be placed underground. 11. The Rolling Hills Community Association will review the proposed project at a later date. 12. The project has been determined to be categorically exempt pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
