Ullrich 5 Pine Tree Lane Rolling Hills, CA 90274 SUBJECT: TIME EXTENSION APPROVAL IN ZONING CASE NO. 668 Dear Dr. and Mrs. Ullrich: As you know, your approval in Zoning Case No. 668 would have expired on November 21, 2005, unless grading or construction commenced prior to that date. A new provision of the Zoning Code pertaining to time extension of zoning cases took effect on December 22, 2004. This provision established an opportunity for applicants to request a two-year time extension of their cases, rather than one year as previously allowed. Staff made an administrative policy to afford those cases with one-year extensions the same benefit of two years extensions as other cases that were approved after the code amendment took effect. This letter is to notify you that the City Council at their August 22, 2005 meeting upheld staff's administrative policy to extend your case, as well as several other cases for one more year. Therefore, please note that the approval to relocate your garage and demolish existing 'garage will expire on NOVEMBER 21. 2006. unless aradina or construction commences prior to that date. Please be advised that prior to obtaining a grading or building permit, you must satisfy several conditions of the original Resolution, Resolution No. 2003-21, including recordation of the resolution in the County Recorder's Office. Please review these conditions. Feel free to call me at (310) 377-1521 if you have any questions.

(ULLRICH). THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ROLLING HILLS DOES HEREBY FIND, RESOLVE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Applications were duly filed by Dr. Reinhold Ullrich. with respect to real property located at 5 Pine Tree Lane, Rolling Hills (Lot 94-RH) requesting a site plan review and conditional use permit to construct a 484 square foot detached garage, and a variance to encroach with the garage into the south side yard setback at an existing single family residence. Section 2. The Planning Commission conducted duly noticed public hearings to consider the applications on July 15, 2003, August 19, 2003, and at a field trip visit on August 5, 2003. The applicant was 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. The Planning Commission reviewed, analyzed and studied said proposal. The applicant and his representative were in attendance at the hearings. Section 3. There is an existing attached garage, which encroaches into the side yard setback and the side yard easement. The City is processing a concurrent application for subdivision of this property. Pursuant to City of Rolling Hills Subdivision requirements and condition of approval for the subdivision from the Rolling Hills Community Association, the garage must be removed out of the easement. Section 4. Originally the applicant proposed a detached garage, which would be located a long distance from the main residence, however, it would not encroach into any setbacks. During the field trip, the Commissioners expressed concerns that the proposed detached garage is too far from the residence and that it may be difficult to utilize as a garage. Section 5. The property is currently developed with a 5,346 square foot residence, a 462 square foot attached garage, 800 square foot swimming pool, and a 96 square foot service yard. Section 6. The Planning Commission finds that the project qualifies as a Class 4 Exemption (State of CA Guidelines, Section 15304 - Minor Land Alteration) Reso. 2003-21 Ullrich 1 and is therefore categorically exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act. Section 7. Section 17.46.030 requires a development plan to be submitted for site plan review and approval before any development 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 detached garage, 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 structures comply 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 requirements with the Variance approved by this Resolution. The lot , after it has been subdivided, will have a net lot area of 87,991 square feet, as calculated for development purposes. The size of the existing and proposed structures will be 7,176 square feet, which constitutes 8.2% of the net lot area, which is within the maximum 20% structural lot coverage permitted. The total lot coverage including paved areas and driveways will be 19,756 square feet which equals 22.5% of the net lot, which is within the 35% maximum overall lot coverage permitted. The proposed project is screened from the road so as to reduce the visual impact of the development. B. The project substantially preserves the natural and undeveloped state of the lot by minimizing building coverage. The topography and the configuration of the lot, has been considered, and it was determined that the proposed development will not adversely affect or be materially detrimental to adjacent uses, buildings, or structures because the proposed construction will be constructed on an existing building pad, will be the least intrusive to surrounding properties, will be screened and landscaped with mature trees and shrubs, is of sufficient distance from nearby residences so that it will not impact the view or privacy of surrounding neighbors, and will permit the owners to enjoy their property without deleterious infringement on the rights of surrounding property owners. C. The proposed development, as conditioned, is harmonious in scale and mass with the site, and is consistent with the scale of the neighborhood when compared to properties in the vicinity. The proposed garage will follow the pattern and style of the original residence. D. The development plan incorporates existing trees and native vegetation to the maximum extent feasible. Specifically, the development plan will supplement the existing vegetation with landscaping that is compatible with and enhances the rural character of the community. Reso. 2003-21 Ullrich 2 • • E. 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. The proposed garage is a substitution to an existing garage and will not increase the lot coverage. Significant portions of the lot will be left undeveloped. The proposed detached garage will not be visible from Pine Tree Lane. F. The development plan preserves surrounding native vegetation and mature trees and supplements these elements with drought -tolerant landscaping which is compatible with and enhances the rural character of the community, and landscaping provides a buffer or transition area between private and public areas. G. The proposed development is sensitive and not detrimental to the convenience and safety of circulation for pedestrians and vehicles because the proposed project will not change the existing circulation pattern and will utilize an existing driveway. H. The project is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act Section 8. Based upon the foregoing findings and the evidence in the record, the Planning Commission hereby approves the Site Plan Review application for Zoning Case No. 668 for a detached garage as shown on the Development Plan dated September 11, 2003 and marked Exhibit A, subject to the conditions contained in this Resolution. Section 9. Section 17.16.210(A)(4) of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code permits approval of a detached garage under certain conditions, provided a Conditional Use Permit for such use is approved by the Planning Commission. The applicant is requesting to construct a 484 square foot detached garage. Such garage will be located on an existing building pad and will encroach five feet into the south side yard setback. With respect to this request for a Conditional Use Permit, the Planning Commission finds as follows: A. The granting of a Conditional Use Permit for the construction of a detached garage would be consistent with the purposes and objectives of the Zoning Ordinance and General Plan and because the use is consistent with similar uses in the community. The area proposed for the detached garage is the same general area on the property where a similar use already exists and will not change the existing configuration of structures on the lot. B. The nature, condition, and development of adjacent uses, buildings, and structures have been considered, and the construction of a detached garage will not adversely affect or be materially detrimental to these adjacent,uses, buildings, or structures because the proposed garage will be a replacement of an existing garage, but at a different location and will not impact the view or privacy of surrounding neighbors. Reso. 2003-21 Ullrich 3 • • C. The project is harmonious in scale and mass with the site, the natural terrain, and surrounding residences because the detached garage will comply with the low profile residential development pattern of the community. D. The proposed conditional use complies with all applicable development standards of the zone district because the 484 square foot size of the detached garage is permitted under the Municipal Code, with the Variance as approved in this Resolution. E. The proposed conditional use is consistent with the portions of the Los Angeles County Hazardous Waste Management Plan relating to siting and siting criteria for hazardous waste facilities because the project site is not listed on the current State of California Hazardous Waste and Substances Sites List. F. The proposed conditional use observes the spirit and intent of Title 17 of the Zoning Code because it will not be visible from the road or neighboring properties. A future stable is proposed on the site. Section 10. Based upon the foregoing findings and the evidence in the record, the Planning Commission hereby approves a Conditional Use Permit for the construction of a 484 square foot detached garage, in accordance with the development plan dated September 11, 2003 and marked Exhibit A in Zoning Case No. 668 subject to the conditions contained in this Resolution. Section 11. Section 17.16.120 requires the side yard setback for every residential parcel in the RA-S-2 Zone to be thirty-five (35) feet from the side property line. The applicant is requesting to construct a detached garage, which will encroach five feet into the side yard setback. With respect to this request for a Variance, the Planning Commission finds as follows: A. There are exceptional and extraordinary circumstances and conditions applicable to the property that do not apply generally to the other property or class of use in the same zone. The Variance request is to replace a structure, which already encroaches into the side yard setback, with a new legal detached garage. The topography of the lot together with the fact that the existing residence is located very dose to the setbacks the lot creates a difficulty in constructing the garage elsewhere on the property. In addition, the proposed garage is required as a condition of a lot split. B. The Variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right possessed by other property in the same vicinity and zone, but which is denied to the property in question. The Variance is necessary because the existing terrain and development on the lot creates a difficulty in placing the garage elsewhere on the property. The proposed detached garage will minimize the need to grade, as the existing access to the proposed garage will be utilized. C. The granting of the Variance would not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to the property or improvements in such vicinity and Reso. 2003-21 Ullrich 4 • • zone in which the property is located. The proposed garage will encroach less into the side yard setback than the existing garage, which will be demolished. Section 12. Based upon the foregoing findings and the evidence in the record, the Planning Commission hereby approves the Variance for Zoning Case No. 668 to permit the detached garage to encroach five feet into the side yard setback, subject to the conditions specified in this Resolution. Section 13 The Site Plan Review approval regarding the construction of a detached garage approved in Section 8 of this Resolution, the Conditional Use Permit regarding the construction of the detached garage approved in Section 10, the Variance regarding the side yard encroachment of the detached garage approved in Section 12 of this Resolution are subject to the following conditions: A.

B. If any conditions of approval are violated, this approval shall be suspended and the privileges granted hereunder shall lapse; provided that the applicants have been given written notice to cease such violation, the opportunity for a hearing has been provided, and if requested, has been held, and thereafter the applicant fails to correct the violation within a period of thirty (30) days from the date of the City's determination. C. All requirements of the Building Code, the Zoning Ordinance, and of the zone in which the subject property is located must be complied with, unless otherwise set forth in this approval. D. The lot shall be developed and maintained in substantial conformance with the site plan on file marked Exhibit A and dated September 11, 2003 except as otherwise provided in these conditions. E. Structural lot coverage shall not exceed 7,176 square feet or 8.2% in conformance with structural lot coverage limitations. F.

AUG if 2 �,� Lev CITY OF ROLLING ''"- o!'vG #°ifs! I regret that I am unable to make the August Planning Commission Meeting, as I will be out-of-town on a family vacation. I was able to visit the sites associated with the above referenced zoning cases on August 8, 2003 accompanied by Yolanta Schwartz, Planning Director. In my absence, I am providing the Commission the following list of questions and concerns I have regarding these zoning cases as I observed them on my site visit. Zoning Case No. 667 1. I am concerned about increased water runoff and drainage issues related to the proposed project (increased non -permeable surface areas created by the new roofs and slab for the court and pool deck area) that may contribute to saturation of the soils and increase the possibility of slope failure in the canyon. 2. I would like to know if a new septic system is required for servicing the caba a and, if so, what impact that might have on further saturation of the soils and slopes. 3. I am concerned about the geology and stability of the soils (as described by several nearby residents) in relation to the proposed project and feel that it is necessary to have an independent review of any geology study (such as would be performed by the County) before making any decisions regarding this case. 4. In regard to the proposed sports court, I have the following concerns; • Increased noise levels that, because of the proposed canyon location, would be disturbing to nearby residents. • Obstruction of canyon and ocean views was hard to determine because the flagging at the site did not go to the height of the proposed fence, only to the wall height. • Grading Zoning Case No. 665 1. I have the following concerns regarding the proposed subdivision and tentative parcel map: • I am worried that the proposed lots may not be consistent in size and proportion of existing lots on the street making them incompatible with the neighborhood. • • Zoning Case No. 668 I am worried about the proximity of the buildable pads on the two lots. The area proposed for building appears to be at the narrowest part of each of the two lots and may create a development density that is not consistent with applicable general and specific plans. 1. I am concerned about the distance of the proposed detached garage from the home. Also, in regard to appointment of Chairman of the Rolling Hills Planning Commission for the coming year, I would support the nomination of Chairwoman Hankins to continue on as Chair. •City 0/ Roft.9 JUL July 16, 2003 Dr. and Mrs. Ullrich 5 Pine Tree Lane Rolling Hills, CA 90274 • INCORPORATED JANUARY 24, 1957 NO. 2 PORTUGUESE BEND ROAD ROLLING HILLS, CALIF. 90274 (310) 377-1521 FAX: (310) 377-7288 E-mail: cityofrh@aol.com ZONING CASE NO. 668, Request for a Site Plan Review and Conditional Use Permit to permit the construction of a detached garage and ZONING CASE NO. 665, request for a subdivision at an existing single family residential lot at 5 Pine Tree Lane (Lot 94-RH), Rolling Hills, CA. Dear Dr. and Mrs. Ullrich: This letter is to advise you that the Planning Commission at the July 15, 2003 meeting requested that cross sections of the grade of the future Parcel 2 be submitted. The Commission requested that a cross section of the existing grade and a cross section of the graded are for the building pad be shown. If possible, submit these plans prior to, or at the field trip, which is scheduled for August 5, 2003. In addition, submit the soils and geology reports, and if there exist any correspondence from the L.A. County pertaining their approval (not feasibility for the tentative map) of the soils and geology, please submit that as well. The Commission questioned the County's reference to the soils on the property as being "corrosive". Please provide a letter of explanation from LA. County Soils Section of the effect of such soil on future construction, and if it can be mitigated. Please provide evidence from the Fire Department that the proposed 15-foot driveway to the new parcel would be acceptable. Should you have any questions, please call me at (310) 377-1521.

Therefore, the construction of the new garage requires a Site Plan Review.
