FINDINGS AND REPORT
The application of Mr. Bruce Kittrell, Lot 9-CF, Chesterfield
Tract, for a Conditional Use Permit under Section 3.01 (D), Paragraph 3
of Ordinance No. 170 came on for hearing on the 18th day of December,
1979, in the Council Chambers of the Administration Building, 2 Portu-
guese Bend Road, Rolling Hilis, California, and the applicant, having
submitted evidence in support of the application, the Planning Commis-
sion, being advised, now makes its Findings and Report as required by the
Ordinances of the City of Rolling Hilis, California.
I.
The Commission finds that the applicant, Mr. Bruce Kittrell,
is the owner of that certain real property described as Lot 9-CF,
Chesterfield Tract, located at 7 Chesterfield Road in the City of
Rolling Hills, and that notice of the public hearing in connection
with said application was given as required by Sections 8.06 and 8.07
of Ordinance No. 33 of the City of Rolling Hills, California. The
Commission finds that no comment, written or verbal, was received in
favor of or opposition to the request.
II.
The Commission finds that it is the applicant's intention
to complete development of the 8+ acre property by adding to the
existing residence and swimming pool a tennis court to be located on
a pre -graded pad below the residence, and above a proposed stable and
corral planned for the lower pre -graded pad. The Commission finds that
drainage from the proposed tennis court would be handled by a drain
installed under the court which would carry water to a catch basin,
and that natural growth will hide the drain installation. The Commis-
sion finds that a Conditional Use Permit should be granted in order to
preserve substantial property rights in the same vicinity and zone, and
that the granting of such Conditional Use Permit would not be material-
ly detrimental to the public welfare, nor injurious to property in the
i
same vicinity and zone.
III
From the foregoing it is concluded that a Conditional Use
Permit should be granted to Mr. Bruce Kittrell, Lot 9-CF, 7 Chester-
field Road, for construction of a tennis court, subject to the follow-
ing conditions:
That the owner sign an affidavit accepting the conditions of
approval imposed by the Planning Commission;
That the fence height be limited to eight (8) feet;
That the landscaping of the tennis court be approved, and
to the satisfaction of the Planning Commission;
That a plan showing screen planting be approved by the
Landscape Committee;
That the walls be a uniform earthen color;
That bonds for irrigation and landscaping be required to the
satisfaction of the Manager to guarantee installation of the
irrigation system and satisfactory growth of planting.
That construction of the tennis court be started within one
year from the date of approval, and completed not more than
eighteen months after construction is started, and that
irrigation and landscaping be done concurrently with con-
struction and completed prior to use of the court;
That the property be developed and maintained in conformance
with the plan in the file marked "Exhibit A";
That if the intent of the permit is violated, the permit
shall be void and the Conditional Use Permit shall lapse;
That the fence be an appropriate color to reduce visibility
from other properties;
and it is, therefore, so ordered. This approval shall expire one year
from the date of grant, if not acted on.
