Subject: Permit required for trellis at 7 Pine Tree Lane - FINAL NOTICE
Dear Ms. Talbot:
I am writing as a follow-up to 2 prior letters sent from the City to you regarding a trellis
structure that was built on your property without required approvals and building permit (see
attached).
In October, 2015 you obtained approvals from the City Planning staff, of an as -built plan of the
subject trellis structure (copy attached), subject to obtaining approval also from the RHCA and
then obtaining a building permit. However, the City has no record of that zoning approved
plan ever having been taken to the County Permit Office in Lomita and a building permit
subsequently being issued.
It is requested that you obtain the required building permit from the LA County Building and
Safety Permit office no later than February 29, 2016. Should you fail to obtain the required
building permit by this date, the City will have no option other than to refer this matter to the
City Attorney for enforcement.
If you wish to further,cl' cuss this matter, I can be reached at 310 377-1521.

Thank you for meeting me with your contractor on your property on
Wednesday, August 12, 2015. The City received an inquiry regarding
construction on your property and conversion of a riding ring into a rock garden.
Upon review of the City file it was determined that you have an approval for the
pool and deck and that you obtained a building permit for the pool. Construction
of the deck does not require a building permit. The field inspection confirmed
that the construction is proceeding per the approved plans. While constructing
the deck, please assure that the deck is constructed on grade or if necessary to be
elevated that it is less than 12", at any one point, above the natural grade.
It was noted in the field that a previously existing grassy meadow/corral was
converted to a passive rock and path like garden. Said construction does not
require building permits and may remain. However, this area cannot be paved
without further review by the City. It shall remain pervious for easy conversion
to an equestrian use, should one be desired in the future.
I also observed a trellis, which has not been previously approved. Please submit
a site plan for the trellis for City's review and approval and obtain a building
permit for its construction by 'September 30, 2015.

Thank you for your correspondence dated June 16, 2000 regarding the proposed.
improvements for 7 Pine Tree Lane.
In reviewing the plans that were submitted to this office for the roadway connection
improvements of the recently widened Pine Tree Lane to the newly extended portion of
Pine Tree Lane submitted by Bolton Engineering, it appears that there is a small portion
(13.5 square feet) of the roadway widening improvements within the easement -on your
property located at 7 Pine Tree Lane. This plan has several dates on it, one of which
you have referenced as May 30, 2000. However, the official typed date is February 18,
1999 and a handwritten date of June 2, 2000 with a signature from Ross Bolton. It is our
understanding that this plan was forwarded to you by representatives of Bolton
Engineering Corporation.
In comparing this plan to previous roadway improvement plan submitted to the City of
Rolling Hills for the subdivision at 16 Pine Tree Lane, the specifics of how the improved
portion of Pine Tree Lane would interconnect to the extension of Pine Tree Lane were
not delineated in the detail that they are on the map we have referenced above.
Therefore, at that time, information was not available to us that would have shown that
the plan actually proposed to encroach on your property.
If you have any questions regarding the rights and uses of the property that has been
dedicated as a private easement within the City of Rolling Hills, you should contact the
Rolling Hills Community Association.

Re: Proposed Improvements

Dear Lola,
J U Ni 1 5. 2000
CITY OF ROLLING l�4!LLS
Rv
This letter is a follow up to the letter that we received last Friday from Ross
Bolton of Bolton Engineering Corporation, dated June 5, 2000. It references the
connection of the temporary cul de sac that is scheduled to take place at the end of Pine
Tree Lane.
We are interested in supporting the proposed improvements that are scheduled to
take place on Pine Tree Lane, subject to our interpretation of the improvements.
As a matter of reference, in early August of 1998, Doug McHattie of Bolton
Engineering did ask me to review a proposed plan on behalf of the Cukingnan's that
would encroach into a portion of the easement line on #7 Pine Tree Lane. I asked Doug
McHattie if the proposed plan would eliminate any significant trees and or fence area,
and the reply was "no way". After further review and a site visit, I realized that the plans
did not reflect our discussion. I therefore called Bolton Engineering and asked them to
please survey and stake the proposed improvements. It was quite clear that after the
improvements were staked the information that was delivered to me earlier was not
correct and therefore the request was denied. I did not sign the request and explained to
Doug McHattie that it was not acceptable.
-/
I then had a brief meeting with you in June of 1999 to review the revised plans at
City Hall. Both of us determined that from the plans we reviewed that there would not be
any improvements made on my property and or within my easement lines.
Therefore, I would like to again receive a confirmation from City Hall that the
proposed plan (dated May 30, 2000 from Bolton Engineering Corporation), that has been
approved by the City of Rolling Hills, does not encroach on my easement and or property
line. I have not approved any such action and have not received any notice of such
proposed plan.
We look forward to working with our neighbors to support their requests. Thanks
in advance for your understanding to this request and timely response. Please call me
with any questions at 310 377-8289 home, and 310 630-8816 office.

Re: Subdivisions on Pine Tree Lane
Dear Sirs:
My wife and I have been in the process of obtaining permission to
subdivide the six acres we own into two parcels.
We engaged the services of Doug McHattie and South Bay Engineering
who have diligently pursued this for us and at present we are
cleared by the County and the Rolling Hills Community Association
for this subdivision.
The Planning Committee has held up authorization based on the fact
that the subdividers have not agreed on how the road extension and
turn -around bulb is to be designed on Pine Tree Lane. Specific-
ally, the Hassoldts and Cukingnans are unable to come to an
agreement. Dr. Cukingnan has graciously offered to pay for the
extensions in the Easement between his parcel and the Hassoldt's,
and to put the cul-de-sac bulb on his property entirely. The
Hassoldts have objected to this on the basis that some of the
grading (in the Easement) would be on their half of the Easement!
It is my contention that the Easement is not the property of any
one property owner, but rather an Easement for the Community
Association of the City of Rolling Hills to do with as is best for
the City and for the residents of the Community. It is for the
ROBERT A. SMITH. M.D.
29 September, 1993
Page 2
Re: Subdivisions on Pine Tree Lane
pleasure of the City and Community Association to do with as they
see fit; i.e. as a bridle trail, or for the widening of a road, or
for the installation of a water main.
This applies to both halves of the Easement. The road (Pine Tree
Lane) wanders back and forth from side to side in the Easement as
is most appropriate for the situation.
I would like the City of Rolling Hills to give some direction to
it's Planning Committee and use it's authority to pick the best
proposal for the road extension and turn -around bulb plan that it
feels appropriate, and put an end to this impasse. All parties may
never agree, and I feel the City should therefore do what it feels
is proper. Doug McHattie of South Bay Engineering has submitted
several proposals as to where the road might be located, and would
be happy to provide maps and drawings in detail for your
evaluation. I am enclosing my suggestion for a solution.

Re: Resolution Regarding Pine Tree Lane, Rolling Hills and the
Subdivision of Properties Belonging To:
1.) Dr. and Mrs. Smith, 7 Pine Tree
2.) Dr. and Mrs. Cukingnan, 16 Pine Tree
3.) Dr. and Mrs. Ulirich, 5 Pine Tree
4.) Mr. and Mrs. Hassoldt, 10 Pine Tree
In conjunction with the splitting of these properties the city of
Rolling Hills has asked that Pine Tree Lane be widened and a bridal
trail be created. In addition, there is to be an extension of the
road, at it's present dead end, in the Easement, to a bulb turn-'
around on Dr. and Mrs. Cukingnan's property.
These improvements to Pine Tree Lane will be paid for by the group,
based on the number of parcels being subdivided: 1/5 Smith, 1/5
Cukingnan, 1/5 Ullrich and 2/5 Hassoldt, if all proceed with their
subdivisions.
In the future, subdividers on Pine Tree Lane will reimburse the
original subdividers according to the number of new lots subdivi-
ded, so that all share equally according to the total number of
lots subdivided. The City of Rolling Hills will collect and dis-
tribute the money back to the original subdividers.

DR. AND MRS. ROBERT A. SMITH

ENGINEERING
APRIL 13, 1995
Request for a two (2) lot subdivision of land at Lot 86-RH, and currently 7 Pine Tree
Lane, Rolling Hills, CA, an existing lot that has one residential unit. Lot 86-RH
consists of 6.16 acres gross to be divided into two parcels as follows: Lot 1 - 2.97 acres
gross, 2.71 acres net; and Lot 2 - 3.15 acres gross, 2.62 acres net. PLANNING
COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: APPROVE
BACKGROUND
1. Resolution No. 95-8 was approved unanimously on March 21, 1995. At a
Joint Meeting of the City Council, Planning Commission and Traffic
Commission on March 25, 1995, Councilmember Lay requested that more
information about Planning Commission deliberations be included in future
resolutions. Consequently, staff added further information to the resolution
Panted on Recycled Pape!
and returned it to the Planning Commission. On April 18, 1995, the amended
Resolution No. 95-8 was reapproved by Commissioners Hankins, Raine, and
Chairman Roberts. Commissioners Frost and Witte were absent as they were
on vacation.
2. On January 24, 1994, the City Council remanded the subject case back to the
Planning Commission when the applicants proposed a modification of the lot
lines. The Planning Commission as the Advisory Agency previously
recommended denial of the Tentative Parcel Map on December 21, 1993,
Resolution No. 93-37, because it did not comply with the General Plan,
Subdivision Ordinance and Zoning Ordinance. The Planning Commission
found that the creation of Parcel 2 (then 2.10 acres net) is largely underlain by
an ancient landslide and would require nearly 80% of the lot to be excavated
to a maximum depth of 70 feet to provide a buildable lot, according to
geological documents provided by the applicants at that time. The
Commission asked the applicant to obtain written assurances from the
County Engineer that the proposed measures to grade and buttress the site
will be sufficient to eliminate the geological hazard but, the County Engineer
was unwilling to provide written assurance. The proposal would also conflict
with the Zoning Ordinance provisions (1) that the amount of grading
disturbance on a lot not exceed 40% and (2) the required finding for site plan
review that the amount of grading required to create a building pad be
minimized.
3. During the Planning Commission's hearing process on remand, revised
plans were presented showing that the net size of Parcel 2 was increased by
0.52 acres and the net size of Parcel 1 was decreased by 0.35 acres. In addition,
the plans show that grading and buttressing of the site was reduced and
revised. The revised plans indicate that the permanent disturbed area of
Parcel 2 to be 40%.
Los Angeles County Geology and Soils completed their review and provided
approval for feasibility of the tentative parcel map. The review requires that
the limits of all geologic/geotechnical corrective grading (Shear Keys,
Overexcavations of Landslide Debris, Back Cuts, etc.) be shown on the
Tentative Parcel Map to the satisfaction of the City of Rolling Hills. The
consultants have prepared a map to satisfy the County requirements showing
the limits of the remedial repair.
Planning Commission Resolution No. 95-8 includes the Geology and Soils
recommendations [See Page 8, Condition 15 (y) and (z); and Page 14,
Conditions 60, 61, 62, and 63 of the resolution].
4. The applicants' plans indicate a 13,600 square foot building pad on Parcel 2
that is located at the southwest portion of the lot. The western portion of that
ZONING CASE NO. 449A, SUBDIVISION NO. 83,
AND TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP NO. 22334
PAGE 2 OF 4
pad is in the front setback area and could require a Variance for future
construction. Grading quantities will require 3,730 cubic yards of cut soil and
3,730 cubic yards of fill soil.
5. Plans show 25 foot easements at all lot boundaries, except for a 30 foot wide
easement on the west side of the properties at the driveway access off Pine
Tree Lane. Pine Tree Lane will be improved and extended. The future Pine
Tree Lane has been reconfigured and consists of 20 feet of paving and 4 feet of
decomposed granite for the bridle trail. The slope for the future street will
vary from 14 to 17%. In addition, the curves on the future street will be less
than 250 degrees.
The cul-de-sac bulb at the end of Pine Tree Lane is proposed to be compatible
with this subdivision and the related parcel maps for the adjacent properties
of 10 and 16 Pine Tree Lane, respectively, Zoning Case No. 512, Subdivision
No. 82, and Tentative Parcel Map No. 21400 (Mr. and Mrs. William Hassoldt);
Zoning Case No. 450, Subdivision No. 84, Tentative Parcel Map No. 21486
(Mr. and Mrs. Ramon Cukingnan).
The Cukingnan subdivision was approved by the City Council on March 28,
1994 and the Hassoldt subdivision was approved by the City Council on
August 22, 1994.
6. The existing 3,779 square foot residence, attached garage, and stable on Parcel 1
were built in 1941.
7. The existing house on Parcel 1 encroaches 25 feet into the 50 foot front yard
setback.
8. There is sufficient area on the proposed Parcel 2 to provide a 450 square foot
stable and 550 square foot corral.
9. The driveway leading to the proposed building pad on Parcel 2 will have a 15'
wide driveway and shows approximately 10% slope.
10. After reviewing the Initial Study for the project, Staff has determined that
although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the
environment, there will not be a significant effect in this case because
mitigation measures have been added to the project. Accordingly, a Mitigated
Negative Declaration was prepared (attached).
REOUIRED CITY COUNCIL ACTION
The City Council may concur with the Planning Commission's findings and
recommendation of approval of the subdivision. If the City Council were to approve
ZONING CASE NO. 449A, SUBDIVISION NO. 83,
AND TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP NO. 22334
PAGE 3 OF 4
the subdivision, the Council will have to show affirmative findings that the
tentative parcel map complies with the City's Subdivision Ordinance and General
Plan and specifying that it does not require rejection pursuant to Section 16.12.150 of
the Municipal Code. That section specifies that a tentative map shall be rejected if it
is found that:
"1. The proposed map is not consistent with applicable general and specific plans;
2. The design or improvement of the proposed subdivision is not consistent
with applicable general and specific plans;
3. The site is not physically suitable for the type of development proposed;
4. The site is not physically suitable for the proposed density of development;
5. The design of the subdivision or the proposed improvements are likely to
cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably
injure wildlife or their habitat;
6. The design of the subdivision or the proposed improvements are likely to
cause serious public health or safety problems;
7. The design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will conflict with
easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of,
property within the subdivision. In this connection, the City Council may
approve a map if it finds that alternate easements, for access of for use, will be
provided, and that these shall be substantially equivalent to ones previously
acquired by the public."
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council review the proposed 2-lot subdivision,
Planning Commission Resolution No. 95-8, the Negative Declaration, and take
public testimony.
(NOTE: The Council has 30 days from the adoption of the Negative Declaration to
approve/deny the case. The Council could take action on both the Negative
Declaration and the case itself, or at the least on the Negative Declaration).

A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF ROLLING HILLS RECOMMENDING APPROVAL TO
THE CITY COUNCIL OF TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP NO. 22334,
SUBDIVISION NO. 83, A REQUEST TO SUBDIVIDE A 6.16
ACRE EXISTING LOT THAT HAS ONE RESIDENTIAL UNIT
INTO 2 SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL LOTS FRONTING THE
EAST SIDE OF PINE TREE LANE IN ZONING CASE NO. 449A.
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 Dr. and Mrs. Robert A. Smith with
respect to real property at Lot 86-RH, and currently, 7 Pine Tree Lane, Rolling Hills,
requesting a two (2) lot subdivision of land on an existing lot that has, one residential unit.
Section 2. An application was filed for this project beginning on January 21, 1991.
The Planning Commission reviewed the case at subsequent meetings beginning in
September, 1992 and concluding with a recommendation of denial to the City Council on
December 21, 1993. The City Council conducted a duly noticed public hearing on January
24, 1994 at which time new evidence was heard and presented, and the applicant proposed
a modification of the lot lines, whereupon, the City Council remanded the case back to the
Planning Commission for further review. During the Planning Commission's hearing
process on remand, revised plans were presented showing that the net size of Parcel 2 was
increased by 0.52 acres and the net size of Parcel 1 was decreased by 0.35 acres. In addition,
the plans showed that grading and buttressing plans of the site were reduced and revised.
The revised plans indicate that the permanent disturbed area of Parcel 2 to be 40%.
Section 3. The application applies to Lot 86-RH which consists of 6.16 acres gross.
This lot is proposed to be ,divided into two parcels as follows: Parcel 1 - 2.97 acres gross, 2.71
acres net; and Parcel 2 - 3.15 acres gross, 2.62 acres net. Lot 86-RH is within the RA-S-2 zone
district (2-acre minimum zone), and referred to as Assessor's Book, Page, and Parcel No.
7569-013-005. The General Plan Land Use designation for this property is Very Low Density
Residential 2+ Net Acres per Dwelling Unit.
Section 4. The subject site is presently occupied by one residential structure at the
southern portion of the property, surrounded by landscaping. The existing residential
structure would be located on Parcel 1. The remainder of the lot is presently vacant with
natural vegetation in a semidisturbed state. The site is surrounded by other single family
dwellings on 2+ acre size lots. The zone designation for the subject site is RA-S-2 and the
zone designation on adjacent properties is RA-S-2.
Section 5. The Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public hearing to
consider the application for a 2-lot subdivision of land on February 15, 1994, March 15,
1994, April 18, 1994, May 17, 1994, June 21, 1994, July 19, 1994, August 16, 1994, September
20,1994, October 18, 1994, November 22, 1994, December 10, 1994, January 17, 1995, February
21, 1995, and March 21, 1995, and at a field trip visit on May 7, 1994. The applicants were
notified of the public hearing in writing by first class mail and through the City's
Resolution No. 95-8
Page 1 of 19
newsletter. Evidence was heard and presented from all persons interested in affecting said.
proposal, from all persons protesting the same, and from members of the City staff and the
Planning Commission having reviewed, analyzed and studied said proposal. The
applicants were in attendance at the hearings.
Section 6. According to Section 16.12.110 of Title 16, Subdivisions, of the Rolling
Hills Municipal Code, the Planning Commission is the advisory agency for review of a
tentative parcel map and the Commission is to make its recommendations to the City
Council upon completing evaluation of all environmental proceedings pursuant to the
local guidelines implementing the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
Section 7. The 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 if
certain measures were included in the project. The Negative Declaration was prepared
with those mitigation measures 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. Copies of the Negative Declaration were sent to adjacent cities and other
government agencies. No comments on the Negative Declaration were received.
Section 8. The Planning Commission has reviewed the proposed Negative
Declaration and finds that it represents the independent judgment of the City and that it
was prepared in compliance with CEQA. Therefore, the Planning Commission finds that
although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, there
will not be a significant effect in this case because mitigation measures have been added to
the project, and are incorporated herein by reference. Based upon these findings, the
Planning Commission hereby recommends that the City Council adopt the mitigated
Negative Declaration in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act.
Section 9. Pursuant to Section 16.12.150 of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code a
tentative map shall be rejected under certain conditions. Based upon substantial evidence
presented to the Planning Commission of the City of Rolling Hills during the public
hearing referenced in Section 5, including public testimony, and written and oral staff
reports, the Planning Commission finds as follows:
A. The proposed subdivision map and the design and improvement of the
proposed subdivision are consistent with the applicable General Plan, including but not
limited to, the following goals and policies of the General Plan:
1. Maintain Rolling Hills' distinctive rural residential character. (Land Use
Element, p. 15.)
2. Accommodate development which is compatible with and complements
existing land uses. (Land Use Element, p. 15.)
3. Accommodate development that is sensitive to the natural environment
and accounts for environmental hazards. (Land Use Element, p. 16.)
Resolution No. 95-8
Page 2 of 19
4. Provide for housing which meets the needs of existing and future Rolling
Hills residents. (Housing Element, p. 44)
5. Maintain and enhance the quality of residential neighborhoods in Rolling
Hills. (Housing Element, p. 44)
6. Promote housing opportunities for all persons regardless of race, religion,
sex, marital status, ancestry, national origin or color. (Housing Element, p. 45.)
7. Conserve and enhance the City's natural resources, facilitating
development in a manner which reflects the characteristics, sensitivities and constraints of
these resources. (Open Space and Conservation Element, p. 15.)
B. The site is physically suitable for the proposed density and type of development.
The proposed use, density, and proposed subdivision improvements are permitted in the
RA-S-2 zone. Parcel 1 is 2.71 acres net and Parcel 2 is 2.62 acres net which exceeds the
minimum 2-acre lot size of the RA-S-2 zone.
C. The design of the subdivision or the proposed improvement is not likely to
cause substantial environmental damage; or substantially and avoidably injure fish or
wildlife or their habitat, because the property is within an area of the City, designated for
development. The initial study prepared for the project did not identify the site as
containing unique or sensitive environmental qualities and no threatened, rare or
endangered plant or animal species were identified during review of the project.
D. The design of the subdivision or type of improvements is not likely to cause
serious public health problems. The design of the subdivision and the proposed
improvements are not likely to cause serious public health problems because conditions of
approval have been applied to the project to require compliance with applicable codes and
ordinances designed to protect public health and safety.
E. The design of the subdivision or type of improvements will not conflict with
easements acquired by the public at large for access through or use of property within the
proposed subdivision. This is because existing roadway easements will be maintained or
expanded by this project and adequate access will be provided to these parcels and adjacent
parcels. In addition, the parcels will contain perimeter easements providing access for
roads, trails, and public utilities. As a condition of approval, these easements will be
recorded in deeds prior to approval of the final map.
F. The proposed subdivision will not adversely affect the housing needs of the
region.
G. The proposed use will be in substantial compliance with the provisions of the
Residential Development Standards in the Rolling Hills Zoning Ordinance.
H. The proposed subdivision, as revised, is in compliance with the 40% maximum
disturbed area requirement contained in Section 17.16.070(B) of the Zoning Ordinance.
Although 50.7% of the lot will be remediated through grading and recompaction, only 40%
Resolution No. 95-8
Page 3of19
of the lot area will not be returned to its original state. Thus, the portion of the lot, that,
will be disturbed in a permanent manner satisfies the requirement of Section 17.16.070(B). '
I. The proposed use will be compatible with other existing residential development
in the immediate area.
J. The tentative map design provides for future passive or natural heating or
cooling opportunities in the subdivision to the extent feasible because the project is
designed with lots of adequate dimensions to maximize the opportunities for passive and
natural heating and cooling.
K. The tentative map does not propose to divide land which is subject to a contract
entered into pursuant to the California Land Conservation Act of 1965, because the
property in question has not been included in any such contract.
L. Pursuant to Section 66474.6 of the Subdivision Map Act, the discharge of waste
from the proposed subdivision into proposed, septic systems will not result in violation of
existing requirements prescribed by the California Regional Water Quality Control Board,
because the applicant is required to comply with all Conditions of Approval regarding
waste disposal contained in Section 12 of this Resolution.
M. Pursuant to the Rolling Hills Municipal Code Section 16.12.155, this Tentative
Parcel Map is consistent with and does not impact the County of Los Angeles Hazardous
Waste Management Plan.
Section 10. Pursuant to the Rolling Hills Municipal Code Section 16.12.130, the
Planning Commission recommends that the City Council grant the following
modifications to the Subdivision Ordinance for this project which are determined to be
warranted because of the size and shape of the proposed division of land and the unusual
physical conditions thereon:
A. Sideline Angles. Rolling Hills Municipal Code Section 16.16.020 requires that
in all cases where practicable, the sidelines of lots shall be at approximate right angles to or
radial to the street upon which such lot fronts. The sidelines on the most northerly and
southerly property lines are not at right angles to the street, Pine Tree Lane. The alteration
of the most northerly and southerly lot lines would not be practicable because they are the
boundaries of the existing lot.
B. Street Grades. The Rolling Hills Municipal Code Section 16.16.150 requires
that no street shall have a grade of more than six (6) percent except for short distances
where the topography makes it impracticable to keep within such grades, and in that
event, the grade shall not exceed ten (10) percent except where evidence which is
satisfactory to the Advisory Agency is given that a lower grade is not possible. However,
the maximum permissible grade shall not exceed seventeen percent for a distance of more
than one hundred fifty feet. Proposed Pine Tree Lane has a grade beginning at Portuguese
Bend Road that varies from 5.3% for 190 feet, 10.0% for 50 feet, 12.5% for 185 feet, 10.0% for
50 feet, 8.3% for 220 feet, 10.0% for 100 feet, 7.4% for 135 feet, 8.3% for 120 feet, 12.5% for 81
feet, 10.0% for 95 feet, 14.7% for 170 feet, 12.5% for 130 feet, 15.6% for 115 feet, 12.5% for 133
feet, 14.3% for 524 feet, 10% for 90 feet, 17.0% for 70 feet, 9.0% for 50 feet, and 2.7% for 50 feet
Resolution No. 95-8
Page 4 of 19
at the cul-de-sac end of Pine Tree Lane. Based upon the evidence submitted, the Planning
Commission finds that the existing topography and road makes it impossible to construct a
roadway with a maximum 10% grade unless a switchback design is incorporated which
would traverse and render undevelopable at least one lot in the proposed subdivision. The
alteration of the road to meet the minimum guidelines would also cause large amounts of
grading and would require retaining walls exceeding 5 feet along portions of Pine Tree
Lane.
Section 11. Based upon the foregoing findings, the Planning Commission
recommends that the City Council approve Tentative Parcel Map No. 22334 Subdivision
No. 83 in Zoning Case No. 449A, a request for a three (3) lot subdivision of land (attached
hereto as Exhibit A) subject to the modifications to the subdivision ordinance specified in
Section 10 and subject to the conditions contained in Section 12 of this resolution.

SUBJECT: TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP NO. 22334
Map dated 3-17-94
At its last meeting, the Los Angeles County Subdivision Committee
reviewed Tentative Parcel Map No. 22334 in accordance with the
contractual agreement with your City to provide planning, zoning
and subdivision services. Tentative Parcel Map No. 22334 proposes
to create 2 single-family lots on 6.2 acres of land located at No.
7 Pine Tree Lane between Tally Hand Road and Blackwater Canyon Road
in your city.
If the City wishes to approve the tentative map, the Committee
recommends imposition of the following conditions and findings:
1. This tentative approval will expire 18 months from the date of
approval by the City Council. This time limit may be extended
by the City Council for a period of not to exceed 2 years.
2. The tentative map must comply with the City Subdivision Code,
the Zoning Ordinance, and the area requirements and
development standards of the'RA-S-2 zone.
3. Permission is granted to adjust lot lines to the City's
satisfaction provided such adjustment is shown on the final
map. Adjust the lot line between Lots 1 and 2 so as to be
radial with Pine Tree Lane, to the satisfaction of the City of
Rolling Hills.
4. The existing residence situated on Lot 1 will encroach
approximately 25 feet into the required 50 foot front yard
setback as required by the Zoning Ordinance. The Subdivision
Committee recommends that the Planning Commission modify the
setback requirements since the residence presently exists.

5. Offer Pine Tree Lane as a private street with a right-of-way
of 30 feet from centerline, including a cul-de-sac turnaround
off -site to the north1 in an alignment satisfactory to the
City. The cul-de-sac bulb shall be compatible with Tentative
Parcel Map Nos. 21486 and 21400. Further, comply with all
provisions of Section. 16.12.130 of the City's Subdivision
Ordinance.
6. Section 16.16.020 of the City Code requires that the sidelines
of all lots shall be at right angles or radial to the street
upon which the lot fronts. The sidelines on the most
northerly and southerly property lines are not at right
angles to said street. Accordingly, the Subdivision Committee
recommends a modification of the lot sideline angles on the
most northerly and southerly property lines, pursuant to
Section 16.12.130 of the City's Subdivision Ordinance.
7. Street improvements are required. Construct paving on Pine
Tree Lane with curbs and/or inverted shoulders to the
satisfaction of the City of Rolling Hills. Further, said
paving shall properly coincide with the neighboring property
to the satisfaction of the City of Rolling Hills.
8. This minor land division must be found in conformance with the
City of Rolling Hills General Plan, the State Subdivision Map
Act as provided by Section 66473.5 of the Government Code, and
items A through G of Section 66474 of said code.
9. Your Commission must find that this proposed division of land
will not violate sewer discharge provisions per Section
66474.6 of the State Subdivision Map Act.
10. It also must be found that the proposed land division is in
compliance with the requirements of the California
Environmental Quality Act. Proper documentation must be
prepared by the City of Rolling Hills.
We further recommend that the Advisory Agency determine that the
division of land and development of the property in the manner set
forth on the subject tentative map will not unreasonably interfere
with the free and complete exercise of the public entity and/pr
public utility rights -of -way and/or easements within the subject
property.
The following attached reports and the conditions contained therein
were also recommended for inclusion by the Subdivision Committee:

ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING,
20. The project site is a large 6.20 acre parcel consisting of
undulating hillsides and knolls covered by mature shrubs and trees,
with some areas being heavily wooded and an intermittent blue line
stream at the southwest boundary. Currently, there is a large one-
story single family residence, garage, stable, and shed on proposed
Parcel 1. Landscaped lawns, shrubs and trees surround the existing
residence, with native plants, grasses, shrubs, and trees beyond
the residential area. Native birds and animals frequent the area
such as sparrows, crows, raccoons, possum, skunks, gophers and an
occasional fox.
21. The site is located within a one unit per 2-acre zone
designation and is surrounded by similar development of the one-
story ranch style with agricultural outbuildings. As described in
Paragraph 20, native birds and animals frequent the area.
The following analysis is a description of the findings contained
in the Environmental Information and Checklist Form which preceded
this page. A detailed discussion of all potential environmental
impacts checked "Yes" or "Maybe" is provided, along with
appropriate mitigation measures.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
Item 22. Earth.
a-d. Although approval of the subdivision of land will not result
in unstable earth conditions or in changes in geologic
substructures, it should be noted that portions of the City exhibit
unstable earth conditions, including active landslides and soil
creep. The Land Use Element of the General Plan establishes a
Landslide Hazard Overlay to carefully regulate development in
unstable areas. This property is not within a mapped active
landslide area. Grading, excessive irrigation, and/or increased
septic tank discharge in unstable areas may trigger additional
slope failure. Because the City is located in seismically active
southern California, additional development will be exposed to
potential groundshaking in the event of an earthquake. The Palos
Verdes fault, considered potentially active, is located
approximately one mile northeast of the City.
Although approval of the subdivision of land will not result in
disruptions, displacements, compaction, or overcrowding of the
soil, during future construction these will occur in order to
prepare a 12,000 square foot building pad for the additional
building site. One building site currently exists. The
displacement and recompaction of the soil will be required to
conform with local ordinances and engineering practices requiring
balanced cut and fill and should not cause a significant
environmental impact.
e-g. Also, during future construction, there will be removal of
natural vegetative cover, potentially causing an increase in soil
erosion by wind action or storm runoff. This reduction of
vegetative cover and the increased runoff associated with
development may cause a slight increase in the soil deposition,
siltation, or erosion in or near the ocean. As additional
development is limited to one (1) single-family dwelling unit,
related erosion impacts will be less than significant.
Mitigation Measures
1.. The applicant shalll prepare and submit to the City a
preliminary grading plan showing proposed drainage
facilities, driveways, building pad(s), stable, corral,
and blue line streams, for each lot of the subdivision at
least 30 days prior to the Planning Commission hearing on
the subdivision application.
INITIAL REVIEW
ZONING CASE NO. 449
PAGE 3
Item 23. Air.
a-c. The proposed subdivision provides for a total net increase in
development of 1 single-family dwelling unit. While increased
development will generate slight increases in vehicle trips during
and after construction and, objectionable odors during
construction, the resultant impact on air quality will be less than
significant.
Item 24. Water.
a. Future development of 1 residential unit on a two acre minimum
parcel will not alter fresh or marine water currents.
b. The proposed subdivision may alter drainage patterns, increase
surface runoff and reduce water absorption by the placement of
structures, the introduction of impervious surface materials and
irrigation systems. However, due to the nominal increase in
development proposed and permitted by the General Plan, the impacts
are not expected to be substantial.
c. No major floodplains exist in the City. Flood waters generally
flow through the canyon areas. The General Plan does not.permit
development in the canyons, and so changes in the course or flow of
floodwaters is not anticipated.
d. No water bodies are located in the project area. Future
development in the project area is not expected to result in change
in the amount of any water bodies located in the vicinity.
e. The applicants propose a septic tank system for the new parcel.
As septic tank leach field effluent percolate into the watershed,
some discharge into surface waters downstream may occur. The
impact generated from an increase of 1 additional dwelling unit,
however, will be less than significant.
Mitiaation Measures,
2. No septic tanks or other similar structures, except
boundary fences, shall be constructed within 150 feet of
the centerline of the intermittent blue line stream at the
eastern portion of Parcels 1 and 2.
i. No major floodplains exist in the City, and development is not
permitted in the canyon areas most likely to be affected by
flooding. No open bodies of water occur within the City, thus nc
such hazard exists. The subdivision is located high enough and far
enough away from the ocean that tsunami hazards do not exist.
INITIAL REVIEW
ZONING CASE NO. 449
PAGE 4
j. Because the applicants propose a septic tank system, some
discharge into surface waters downstream may occur. See Mitigation
Measure 2.
Item 25. Plant Life
a-d. Any additional development within the City will reduce the
amount of native vegetation which will be replaced, in some
instances, by non-native species. But, due to the limited growth
proposed, this impact will be less than significant. In addition,
the General Plan and Zoning Code set forth policies which encourage
the retention and use of native drought tolerant vegetation in
landscaping. No known rare and endangered species of plants exist
in the City.
Item 26. Animal Life
a. As further development occurs in Rolling Hills, the natural
habitat of the area will be slightly reduced. But, the impact of
the current proposal is expected to be less than significant.
b. Large lot, estate density development proposed for this
subdivision provides the opportunity to retain substantial amounts
of existing habitat. The only animal listed by the Federal
Government is the Palos Verdes Blue, a butterfly which was last
seen in the Rolling Hills area in May, 1986. Several other animals
do occur, however, that are considered as candidates for protection
by either the Federal Government or the State Government. The
Tiger Beetle, while not considered to be endangered or threatened,
does maintain a sensitivity to humans, exists to an extent that may
be cause for concern. The Rolling Hills General Plan shows animals
that are either listed or considered for listing in the Rolling
Hills area. The impact of the proposed future development may be
less than significant and could be controlled through on -site
location management.
Mitiaation Measures
3. A biological assessment for each lot in the subdivision
shall be prepared by a City approved qualified biologist
prior to commencement of project grading and construction.
The biological assessment shall include a description of
all significant plant and animal life on the lot along
with recommendations for preservation, mitigation or
relocation of such resources. The developer shall incur
the cost for preparation of the biological assessment and
shall comply with mitigation measures recommended in the
biological assessment as approved by the City.

c. Potential development can be expected to introduce additional
household pets to the area (dogs, cats, birds, etc.), including
horses and farm animals. Residential development is not expected
to result in a barrier to native species migration..
d. Some minor disruption of existing wildlife could occur when
future development occurs. Large lot, estate density development
proposed provides the opportunity to retain substantial amounts of
existing habitat. See Mitigation Measure No. 1 and 2 above. This
impact will be less than significant.
Item 27. Noise
a. The future development of 1 single-family residence will not
result in a significant increase in ambient noise levels.
Construction noise may, however, reach high levels in the short
term.
Item 28. Light and Glare
Residential building materials are carefully regulated by the
Zoning Ordinance and the Community Association. Buildings are
limited to one story in height. Light and glare impacts are
therefore expected to be less than significant.
Item 34. Transportation/Circulation
a. Pine Tree Lane is a narrow 12 to 15-foot wide road that is
overburdened and substandard and will require widening. During
construction, there will be a daily increase of vehicle trips for
construction purposes. But, when construction is completed, the
incremental increase of one additional dwelling unit will generate
an estimated 10 daily vehicle trips. This is considered less than
significant.
Mitiaation Measures
4. Pine Tree Lane shall be kept open for vehicular access at
all times during future grading and construction for each
lot of the subdivision.
Item 41. Cultural Resources
a. While prior tilling and dry farming practices may have
disrupted potential remains, grading a 12,000 square foot pad may
uncover a cultural resource.

Mitigation Measures,
5. in the event that subsurface material of an
archaeological, paleontological or other cultural resource
is encountered during project grading or development, al:
grading and construction shall cease in the immediate
area, and the find shall be left untouched until a
qualified professional archaeologist or paleontologist,
whichever is appropriate, is contacted and called in to
evaluate the find and makes recommendations as to
disposition, mitigation or salvage. The developer shall
incur the cost of such professional investigation. The
developer shall comply with the mitigation measures
recommended and approved by the City for the disposition,
mitigation or salvage of such material.
On the basis of this initial evaluation: (check one)
I find the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant
effect on the environment, and a NEGATIVE DECLARATION
will be prepared.
X I find that although the proposed project could have a
significant effect on the environment, there will not be
a significant effect in this case because the mitigation
measures described on an attached sheet have been added
to the project. A NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared.
I find the project MAY have a significant effect on the
environment, and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is
required.
