Each existing and proposed parcel is irregular in shape fronting on a street easement and has a frontage of more than the required 150 lineal feet. 7. The resulting Parcel 1, which will be reduced in net lot area by 9,975 square feet, is developed with a 3,277 sq.ft. residence, 1,050 sq.ft. garage, 210 square foot chicken pen, 684 square foot stable, 286 square feet of covered porches (176 s.f. residence and 110 s.f. guest house) and 706 square foot guest house. The parcel was developed in 1941. The structural lot coverage on the reduced lot is proposed to be 6,213 square feet or 7.1%, which is within the 20% maximum permitted, (currently 6.3%). The total lot coverage will be 14,692 square feet or 16.9%, which is within the 35% maximum permitted, (currently 15.1%). The disturbed area of the net lot is currently 32,596 square feet or 33.5%. With the reduction in the size of the lot the disturbed area will be 37.4%, which is within the 40% maximum permitted. No structural encroachments into setbacks will result from this lot line adjustment. 8. The existing easements lines along the common lot lines are proposed to be relocated to correspond to the new lot lines. The applicants have requested reduction in the easements, from 25-foot wide easements to 10-foot wide easements. The RHCA Board will consider this request at their meeting in October. The Resolution of approval is contingent on the resolve of the RHCA regarding the easements. 9. The Los Angeles County Land Development Division, under a contract with the City, will review the legal descriptions of the newly configured lots, and the Association's Attorney together with the project engineer will prepare legal descriptions for the new easements within those lots. Once the legal descriptions for the adjusted lots are verified, staff will prepare the appropriate documents for recordation of the newly configured lots. 10. The project has been determined to be categorically exempt pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Council receive and file this report or provide other direction to staff. 7r Nr1 711 RESOLUTION NO. 2005-30 A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ROLLING HILLS AUTHORIZING THE ISSUANCE OF A CONDITIONAL CERTIFICATE OF COMPLIANCE FOR A LOT LINE ADJUSTMENT FOR PROPERTIES AT 10 PINE TREE LANE AND TWO VACANT PARCELS NORTH THEREOF, HAVING ASSESSORS PARCEL NUMBERS 7569-013-016, 7569-013-017 AND 7569-013-018 IN ZONING CASE NO. 713, (HASSOLDT).
