A request for a Variance to p.ermit the encroachment of portions of
a residential structure into the front yard setback and a request
for Site Plan Review for the reconstruction of a single family
residence.
DISCUSSION
In reviewing the applicant's request under Title 17 (Zoning), staff
would identify the following issues for evaluation:
1. The existing residential structure was destroyed by fire on
December 25, 1992. The applicants would like to reconstruct
their existing house on the same foundation and add less than
25% to the existing master bedroom. The applicants were
required to make this application because according to Section
17.28.080 of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code, more than 50% of
the reasonable replacement value of the residence was
destroyed.
2. The applicants are requesting a Variance to permit the
encroachment of portions of a residential structure into the
front yard setback because the existing legal nonconforming
structure was built within the front yard setback prior to
1955.
3.. The applicants are also requesting Site Plan Review to permit
the reconstruction of the residential structure on the existing
foundation along with the enlargement of the master bedroom
which will not exceed 25% of the existing residential square
footage.
4. Grading for the project site will not be required.
5. Structural lot coverages, total lot coverages, and building pad
coverages are shown on the attached Development Plan.

Dear Members of the Planning Comm.,
FEB111993
PM Of ROLLING HILLS
Joyce and Paul Grubbs are starting the long road to build a new home in
Rolling Hills.
As residents of our community for over 20 years, they have shown a sincere
desire to keep Rolling Hills the unique and beautiful community that we love.
In designing a new home Paul tells me that they are only going to add a small
amount of footage and that the house will be basically the same as it was
prior to the fire.
Their home is totally secluded from Eastfield and so their house will not
be a nuisance or an eye sore while under construction.
Hopefully you and the other boards that they must appear before will do your
best to make the trama of the fire fade as quickly as possible so they can
return to thier home and get on with their lives.
Sincerely,
William P. Corette
35 Eastfield
ZONING CASE NO. 493

6. The project has been determined to be categorically exempt
pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
7. Mrs. Cataldi of 4 Hackamore Road came in to City Hall to talk
about about the project and voiced no objection. Also,
attached is a letter from Mr. William Corette supporting the
project.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Planning Commission review the proposed
plans, Draft Resolution No. 93-12, and take public testimony.

MEMORANDUM
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: CRAIG R. NEALIS, CITY MANAGER
DATE: DECEMBER 28, 1992
SUBJECT: STRUCTURE FIRE AT #1 HACKAMORE ROAD
Attached to this memorandum is written comments prepared by the Los Angeles County
Fire Department relating to the Friday, December 25, 1992 structure fire at #1 Hackamore
Road. As indicated in the memorandum, it is estimated that the fire may have smoldered
for up to 2 hours before the fire was observed as it broke through the windows at the
location.
Several comments have been received by the City Council relative to the response time of
the County of Los Angeles Fire Department. I have spoken to Station 56 Fire Captain
Kummelehne who has reiterated the following regarding this unfortunate incident.
Response time was 6 minutes 23 seconds.
6:12:40 P.M.
6:13:17 P.M.
911 Emergency Center receives first call describing a fire somewhere
in the Eastfield vicinity of Rolling Hills, possibly behind Maverick
Lane.
911 Emergency Center dispatches Station 56 to a fire somewhere in
the vicinity of Eastfield Drive ... specific location still unknown (a call
was also received from the Eastfield Gate Guard indicating that a
motorist has stopped at the gate and reported a fire at a unknown
location somewhere along Eastfield).
Printed on Recycled Paper.

6:13:52 P.M. Station 56 personnel are in route to Eastfield area in search of the
Fire (while in route, they receive radio confirmation that the fire is at
#1 Hackamore Road). Other fire units are requested to respond from
the City of Lomita and City of Rolling Hills Estates. The Miraleste
Station fire unit is already responding to a separate emergency medical
situation.
6:19:40 P.M.
Station 56 reports they are at the scene at #1 Hackamore Road
beginning to initiate the fire suppression activities. Suppression lasts
for 15 to 20 minutes.
Captain Kummelehne reiterated that they have driven this route since the fire and reported
a normal response drive time of slightly under 6 minutes. Further, Captain Kummelehne
reports that the preheating of the room and smoldering up to 2 hours caused all of the
damage to the interior of the structure prior to the first 911 call.
Mrs. Grubs contacted City Hall and has indicated that she and her husband are staying with
friends in an apartment, and are willing to house sit in the City of Rolling Hills. I indicated
to her that we would include this message in the next City-wide Newsletter. The Balch's,
#6 Hackamore, are handling messages for the Grubbs (310) 377-3288.
