Dear Ms. Schwartz,
;-Ty OF ROL
skv.
lN. c, )..fiLs
This letter is to request an extension of the site approval granting a variance to encroach
into the front yard setback in order to expand the front entrance at our home on 8
Outrider as well as any additional extensions necessary to complete the proposed
remodel.
Our family has been involved with the care and treatment of an ailing aunt who required
a permanent change in her living conditions. We also needed to assist our daughter and
son-in-law in Wyoming who moved in order support a family owned ranching business,
which was compromised when the health of our daughter's father in law deteriorated.
This gentleman had a third heart valve transplant and was unable to work. John has been
a regular fixture in Wyoming helping during this time. These medical emergencies are
now past the crisis stage and we can devote our attention to the Rolling Hills property.
I am enclosing the requested $200 filing fee. I appreciate your attention to this matter.
Thank you for considering this extension. We look forward to working with the City of
Rolling Hills as we improve our new home.
Sincerely,
U�
Shirley Resich

COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ROLLING HILLS GRANTING A
VARIANCE TO ENCROACH INTO THE FRONT YARD SETBACK TO
PERMIT THE EXPANSION OF THE FRONT ENTRANCE AT AN
EXISTING SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCELOCATED AT 8 OUTRIDER
ROAD IN ZONING CASE NO. 613.
MR. JOHN RESICH, 8 OUTRIDER ROAD (LOT 72-B-EF)
BACKGROUND
1. The Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. 2000-14 that is attached on
May 16, 2000 at their regular meeting. The vote was 4-0. Commissioner Roger
Sommer was absent.
2. The applicant is requesting a Variance to permit an encroachment of up to 22 feet
into the 50 foot front yard setback to construct an 80 square foot enclosed
expansion at the front of the residence. Much of the residence is located within the
front yard setback, close to the roadway on Outrider Road, and encroaches up to
27.5 feet into the front yard setback..
Mr. Resich proposes 484 square feet of further additions to the rear of the
residence for a total of 564 square feet of residential additions plus 219 square feet
of covered porches. Mr. Resich also proposes the reconstruction of a 612 square
foot stable that is currently 450 square feet at the rear or southeast portion of the
lot. Other structures on the lot are an 890 square foot swimming pool and spa
and a 480 square foot recreation room.
— Describing the exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions that
do not apply generally to other property in the same vicinity and zone, Mr.
Resich states, "that present residence was previously remodeled and entry and
roof are not aesthetically pleasing or functional. Addition does not extend any
further into front yard setback than remainder of building."
ZONING CASE NO. 613
PAGE 1
Printed on Recycled Paper.
— Mr. Resich states the following regarding why such change will not be
materially detrimental to the public welfare nor injurious to the property or
improvements in such vicinity and zone where property is located, "The
proposed additions do not extend any further into the front yard setback.
Existing residence is built in front yard setback. Approximately 60% of
building is in setback both front and side. 3,520 square feet of additional pad
on Pad #1 is in front yard setback which could increase Pad #1 to 6,568 square
feet and coverage would be 26.8% based upon a total pad of 20,165 square
feet."
3.. The existing house with attached garage was built in 1952. An addition was
constructed in 1956. On July 17, 1979, Mr. A. F. Stribley received approval for a
Conditional Use Permit by the Planning Commission for a 480 square foot
cabana/recreation room that permitted a bathroom with shower and wet bar, but
no cooking facilities in Zoning Case No. 232. In 1981, a swimming pool and spa
was constructed, the cabana/recreation room, and an addition to the existing
residence.
4.. The structural lot coverage proposed. is 5,637 square feet or 17.8% (20% maximum
permitted) and the total lot coverage proposed is 9,514 square feet or 30.1% (35%
maximum permitted).
5 As stated previously, much of the residence is located close tothe roadway within
the front yard setback, and: that area is not included as part of theresidential
building pad. As a result, 3,655 square foot coverage of the permitted 4,970 square
foot residential building pad will be 73.5%. Coverage on: the 6,075 square foot
cabana/recreation room/pool pad will be 22.6%. Coverage on the stable building
pad will be 612 square feet or 10.9% of the 5,600 square foot pad. Total building
pad coverage will be 5,637 square feet or 33.9% of the.16,645 square foot building
pads. (The Planning Commission guideline maximum is 30%).
6. Disturbed area of the lot will be approximately 9,514 square feet or 30.1% of the
net lot area (40%maximum permitted). .
7. Grading will not be required for the project.
8. Access to the residence from Outrider Road at the west will remain the same.
9. The existing 450 square foot stable at the southeast portion of the lot is proposed
to be expanded to a 612 square foot stable. Access to the stable will continue
through easements at the north and south of the property where the
slopes are less than 25%.
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 Resolution No. 2000-14.

RESOLUTION NO. 2000-14
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY
OF ROLLING HILLS GRANTING A VARIANCE TO ENCROACH
INTO THE FRONT YARD SETBACK TO PERMIT THE EXPANSION
OF THE FRONT ENTRANCE AT AN EXISTING SINGLE FAMILY
RESIDENCE LOCATED AT 8 OUTRIDER ROAD IN ZONING CASE
NO. 613.
THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ROLLING HILLS
DOES HEREBY FIND, RESOLVE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Applications were duly filed by Mr. John Resich with respect to
real property located at 8 Outrider Road (Lot 72-B-EF),..Rolling Hills, requesting a
Variance to encroach into the front yard setback to permit the expansion of the front
entrance at an existing single family residence. .
Section 2. The Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public
hearing to consider the applications on April 18, 2000 and May 16, 2000, and at a field
trip visit on May 6, 2000. The applicant was notified of the public hearing in writing
by first class mail and through the City's newsletter. 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 was in attendance at the hearing. '
Section 3. The Planning Commission finds that the project qualifies as a
Class 1 Exemption [State CEQA Guidelines, Section 15301(e)] and is therefore
categorically exempt from environmental review ' under the California
Environmental Quality Act.
Section 4. Sections 17.38.010 through 17.38.050 of the Rolling Hills
Municipal Code permit approval of a Variance from the standards and
requirements of the Zoning Ordinance when exceptional or extraordinary
circumstances applicable to the property and not applicable to other similar
properties in the same zone prevent the owner from making use of a parcel of
property to the same extent enjoyed by similar properties in the same vicinity.
Section 17.16.110 requires a front yard of fifty feet (50') from the front easement line.
The applicant is requesting to add 80 square feet for the expansion of the front
entrance at the west which will encroach a maximum of twenty-two feet (22') into
the fifty foot (50') front 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 because the residence is located close to the street and adjacent
RESOLUTION NO. 2000-14
PAGE 1 OF 5
• •
residences. The existing development pattern on the lot and the sloping rear portion
precludes continued expansion of the residence on the lot.
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 development and use of the subject property in a similar manner consistent
with the shape of the lot and development of other property on this street justifies
this additional small incursion into the front yard setback. There will not be any
greater incursion into the front yard setback than already exists.
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 zone in which the property is located. Development on the pad will allow a
substantial portion of the lot to remain undeveloped.
Section 5. Based upon the foregoing findings, the Planning Commission
hereby, approves the Variance for Zoning Case No. 613 to permit the proposed.
project to encroach a maximum of twenty-two feet (22') into the fifty foot (50') front'
yard setback, subject to the following conditions:
A. The Variance - approval shall expire within one year from the effective
date ' of approval as defined in Section 17.38.070(A) ' unless : otherwise extended
pursuant to the requirements of that section.
B. It is declared and made a condition of the Variance approval, that if any
conditions thereof are violated, this approval shall be suspended and the privileges
granted thereunder 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 Buildings and Construction Ordinance, the
Zoning Ordinance, and of the zone in which the subject property is located must be
complied with unless otherwise set forth in the Permit, or shown otherwise on an
approved plan.
D. The lot shall be developed and maintained in substantial conformance
with the site plan on file marked Exhibit A and dated April 10, 2000, except as
otherwise provided in these conditions.
E. The property on which the project is located shall contain an area of
sufficient size to also provide an area meeting all standards for a stable and corral

MR. JOHN RESICH
MRS. JOSEPHINE STRIBLEY
APRIL 8, 2000
Request for a Variance to encroach into the front yard setback to permit the
expansion of a front entry for office space at an existing single family residence.
BACKGROUND
1. The Planning Commission viewed the site on Saturday, May 6, 2000. A
resolution of approval is attached if the Planning Commission is so inclined.
2. The applicant is requesting a Variance to permit an encroachment of up to 22
feet into the 50 foot front yard setback to construct an 80 square foot enclosed
expansion at the front of the residence to be used for office space. Much of the
residence is located within the front yard setback, close to the roadway on
Outrider Road, and encroaches up to 27.5 feet into the front yard setback.
Mr. Resich proposes 484 square feet of further additions to the rear of the
residence for a total of 564 square feet of residential additions plus 219 square
feet of covered porches. Mr. Resich also proposes the reconstruction of a 612
square foot stable that is currently 450 square feet at the rear or southeast
portion of the lot. Other structures on the lot are an 890 square foot
swimming pool and spa and a 480 square foot recreation room.

zone, Mr. Resich states, "that present residence was previously remodeled
and entry and roof are not aesthetically pleasing or functional. Addition
does not extend any further into front yard setback than remainder of
building."
— Mr. Resich states the following regarding why such change will not be
materially detrimental to the public welfare nor injurious to the property
or improvements in such vicinity and zone where property is located,
"The proposed additions do not extend any further into the front yard
setback. Existing residence is built in front yard setback. Approximately
60% of building is in setback both front and side. 3,520 square feet of
additional pad on Pad #1 is in front yard setback which could increase Pad
#1 to 6,568 square feet and coverage would be 26.8% based upon a total pad
of 20,165 square feet."
3.. The existing house with attached garage was built in 1952. An addition was
constructed in 1956. On July 17, 1979, Mr. A. F. Stribley received approval for
a Conditional Use Permit by the Planning Commission for a 480 square foot
cabana/recreation room that permitted a bathroom with shower and wet bar,
but no cooking facilities in Zoning Case No. 232. In 1981, a swimming pool
and spa was constructed, the cabana/recreation room, and an addition to the
existing residence.
4.. The structural lot coverage proposed is 5,637 square feet or 17.8% (20%
maximum permitted) and the total lot coverage proposed is 9,514 square feet
or 30.1% (35% maximum permitted).
5. As stated previously, much of the residence is located close to the roadway
within the front yard setback, and that area is not included as part of the
residential building pad. As a result, 3,655 square foot coverage of the
permitted 4,970 square foot residential building pad will be 73.5%. Coverage
on the 6,075 square foot cabana/recreation room/pool pad will be 22.6%.
Coverage on the stable building pad will be 612 square feet or 10.9% of the
5,600 square foot pad. Total building pad coverage will be 5,637 square feet or
33.9% of the 16,645 square foot building pads. (The Planning Commission
guideline maximum is 30%).
6. Disturbed area of the lot will be approximately 9,514 square feet or 30.1% of
the net lot area (40% maximum permitted).
7. Grading will not be required for the project.
8. Access to the residence from Outrider Road at the west will remain the same.
ZONING CASE NO. 613
PAGE 2
9. The existing 450 square foot stable at the southeast portion of the lot is
proposed to be expanded to a 612 square foot stable. Access to the stable will
continue through easements at the north and south of the property where the
slopes are less than 25%.
10. The project has been determined to be categorically exempt pursuant to the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Planning Commission review the proposed plans,
Resolution No. 2000-14 and take public testimony.

A. That there are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable to the
property that do not apply generally to other properties in the same vicinity and zone; and

A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY
OF ROLLING HILLS GRANTING A VARIANCE TO ENCROACH
INTO THE FRONT YARD SETBACK TO PERMIT THE EXPANSION
OF THE FRONT ENTRANCE AT AN EXISTING SINGLE FAMILY
RESIDENCE LOCATED AT 8 OUTRIDER ROAD IN ZONING CASE
NO. 613.
THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ROLLING HILLS
DOES HEREBY FIND, RESOLVE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Applications were duly filed by Mr. John Resich with respect to
real property located at 8 Outrider Road (Lot 72-B-EF), Rolling Hills, requesting a
Variance to encroach into the front yard setback to permit the expansion of the front
entrance at an existing single family residence.
Section 2. The Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public
hearing to consider the applications on April 18, 2000 and May 16, 2000, and at a field
trip visit on May 6, 2000. The applicant was notified of the public hearing in writing
by first class mail and through the City's newsletter. 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 was in attendance at the hearing.
Section 3. The Planning Commission finds that the project qualifies as a
Class 1 Exemption [State CEQA Guidelines, Section 15301(e)] and is therefore
categorically exempt from environmental review under the California
Environmental Quality Act.
Section 4. Sections 17.38.010 through 17.38.050 of the Rolling Hills
Municipal Code permit approval of a Variance from the standards and
requirements of the Zoning Ordinance when exceptional or extraordinary
circumstances applicable to the property and not applicable to other similar
properties in the same zone prevent the owner from making use of a parcel of
property to the same extent enjoyed by similar properties in the same vicinity.
Section 17.16.110 requires a front yard of fifty feet (50') from the front easement line.
The applicant is requesting to add 80 square feet for the expansion of the front
entrance at the west which will encroach a maximum of twenty-two feet (22') into
the fifty foot (50') front 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 because the residence is located close to the street and adjacent
RESOLUTION NO. 2000-14
PAGE 1 OF 5
DRAFT
residences. The existing development pattern on the lot and the sloping rear portion
precludes continued expansion of the residence on the lot.
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 development and use of the subject property in a similar manner consistent
with the shape of the lot and development of other property on this street justifies
this additional small incursion into the front yard setback. There will not be any
greater incursion into the front yard setback than already exists.
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 zone in which the property is located. Development on the pad will allow a
substantial portion of the lot to remain undeveloped.
Section 5. Based upon the foregoing findings, the Planning Commission
hereby approves the Variance for Zoning Case No. 613 to permit the proposed
project to encroach a maximum of twenty-two feet (22') into the fifty foot (50') front
yard setback, subject to the following conditions:
A. The Variance approval shall expire within one year from the effective
date of approval as defined in Section 17.38.070(A) unless otherwise extended
pursuant to the requirements of that section.
B. It is declared and made a condition of the Variance approval, that if any
conditions thereof are violated, this approval shall be suspended and the privileges
granted thereunder 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 Buildings and Construction Ordinance, the
Zoning Ordinance, and of the zone in which the subject property is located must be
complied with unless otherwise set forth in the Permit, or shown otherwise on an
approved plan.
D. The lot shall be developed and maintained in substantial conformance
with the site plan on file marked Exhibit A and dated April 10, 2000, except as
otherwise provided in these conditions.
E. The property on which the project is located shall contain an area of
sufficient size to also provide an area meeting all standards for a stable and corral
with vehicular access thereto in conformance with site plan review limitations.

MR. JOHN RESICH
MRS. JOSEPHINE STRIBLEY
APRIL 8, 2000
Request for a Variance to encroach into the front yard setback to permit the
expansion of a front entry for office space at an existing single family residence.
BACKGROUND
1. The applicant is requesting a Variance to permit an encroachment of up to 22
feet into the 50 foot front yard setback to construct an 80 square foot enclosed
expansion at the front of the residence to be used for office space. Much of the
residence is located within the front yard setback, close to the roadway on
Outrider Road, and encroaches up to 27.5 feet into the front yard setback.
Mr. Resich proposes 484 square feet of further additions to the rear of the
residence for a total of 564 square feet of residential additions plus 219 square
feet of covered porches. Mr. Resich also proposes the reconstruction of a 612
square foot stable that is currently 450 square feet at the rear or southeast
portion of the lot. Other structures on the lot are an 890 square foot
swimming pool and spa and a 480 square foot recreation room.
Describing the exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions
that do not apply generally to other property in the same vicinity and
zone, Mr. Resich states, "that present residence was previously remodeled
and entry and roof are not aesthetically pleasing or functional. Addition
ZONING CASE NO. 613

does not extend any further into front yard setback than remainder of
building."
— Mr. Resich states the following regarding why such change will not be
materially detrimental to the public welfare nor injurious to the property
or improvements in such vicinity and zone where property is located,
"The proposed additions do not extend any further into the front yard
setback. Existing residence is built in front yard setback. Approximately
60% of building is in setback both front and side. 3,520 square feet of
additional pad on Pad #1 is in front yard setback which could increase Pad
#1 to 6,568 square feet and coverage would be 26.8% based upon a total pad
of 20,165 square feet."
2. The existing house with attached garage was built in 1952. An addition was
constructed in 1956. On July 17, 1979, Mr. A. F. Stribley received approval for
a Conditional Use Permit by the Planning Commission for a 480 square foot
cabana/recreation room that permitted a bathroom with shower and wet bar,
but no cooking facilities in Zoning Case No. 232. In 1981, a swimming pool
and spa was constructed, the cabana/recreation room, and an addition to the
existing residence.
3. The structural lot coverage proposed is 5,637 square feet or 17.8% (20%
maximum permitted) and the total lot coverage proposed is 9,514 square feet
or 30.1% (35% maximum permitted).
4. As stated previously, much of the residence is located close to the roadway
within the front yard setback, and that area is not included as part of the
residential building pad. As a result, 3,655 square foot coverage of the
permitted 4,970 square foot residential building pad will be 73.5%. Coverage
on the 6,075 square foot cabana/recreation room/pool pad will be 22.6%.
Coverage on the stable building pad will be 612 square feet or 10.9% of the
5,600 square foot pad. Total building pad coverage will be 5,637 square feet or
33.9% of the 16,645 square foot building pads. (The Planning Commission
guideline maximum is 30%).
5. Disturbed area of the lot will be approximately 9,514 square feet or 30.1% of
the net lot area (40% maximum permitted).
6. Grading will not be required for the project.
7. Access to the residence from Outrider Road at the west will remain the same.
8. The existing 450 square foot stable at the southeast portion of the lot is
proposed to be expanded to a 612 square foot stable. Access to the stable will
continue through easements at the north and south of the property where the
slopes are less than 25%.
ZONING CASE NO. 613
PAGE 2
9. The project has been determined to be categorically exempt pursuant to the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Planning Commission review the proposed plans and
take public testimony.
VARIANCE REQUIRED FINDINGS
A. That there are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable to the
property that do not apply generally to other properties in the same vicinity and zone; and
B. That such variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of substantial property
rights possessed by other properties in the same vicinity and zone but which is denied the
property in question; and
C. That the granting of such variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or
injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity; and
D. That in granting the variance, the spirit and intent of this title will be observed; and
E. That the variance does not grant special privilege;
F. That the variance is consistent with the portions of the County of Los Angeles Hazardous
Waste Management Plan relating to siting and siting criteria for hazardous waste facilities;
and
G. That the variance request is consistent with the General Plan of the City of Rolling Hills.
