PLANNING D Date Dear Mr. Nealis: I am writing you in regards to the excess soil at the Lanman's site. Original approved cut and fill calculations included site cut and fill, cut for the proposed basement and crawl space, pool cut and fill, and driveway cut and fill:' These calculations did not include numbers for foundation excavation, as is City policy. Furthermore, the depth to bedrock necessitated additional foundation excavation than would normally be required for a one-story raised floor residence. For this reason there is an estimated 144 cubic yards of footing dirt that need to be removed from the site. The contractor, Mike Boyd informs me that 18 truckloads have already been taken off site with 18 more truckloads of dirt left to go. He also informs me that the Corrununity Association has use for some of the dirt. Therefore, we are asking you as City Manager to grant an exception as listed in 7015.4.3 to allow the export of this excess foundation excavation dirt for since: 1. The construction of the structure has started. 2. The foundation excess foundation dirt is due to the depth of the bedrock on the site. 3. The project cannot be completed in conformance with City regulations without the removal of this excess dirt.

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. Todd Lanman with respect to real property located at 1 Packsaddle Road East (Lot 24-SF) requesting a Variance to encroach into the side yard setback to permit the construction of a swimming pool, requesting a Variance to exceed the maximum disturbed area requirement, and requesting Site Plan Review modification of a previously approved single family residential development. During the hearing process, the applicants proposed the reduction of the height of the residence, reduction of the area of disturbance, omission of a retaining wall behind the residence, and a minor grading increase which thereby allowed the applicants to withdraw their request for a Variance to exceed the maximum disturbed area requirement. Section 2. The Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public hearing to consider the applications on June 16, 1998 and July 21, 1998, and at a field trip visit on July 13, 1998. Section 3. The Planning Commission finds that the project qualifies as a Class 2 Exemption [State CA Guidelines, Section 15302] 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 17.16.120(A) requires a side yard setback for every residential parcel in the RA-S-1 zone to be twenty (20) feet. The applicant is requesting to construct a 630 square foot swimming pool which will encroach a maximum of four (4) feet into the side yard setback. With respect to this request for a Variance, the Planning Commission finds as follows: RESOLUTION NO. 98-17 PAGE 1 OF 6 A. There are no exceptional and extraordinary circumstances and conditions applicable to the property or to the intended use that do not apply generally to the other property in the same vicinity and zone. The variance is not necessary because there are other locations on the lot for the swimming pool. In addition, the maximum disturbed area for this property would be 39.55% of the net lot area which the Commission finds excessive and exceeds the maximum disturbed area of most properties in the vicinity so that the proposed expansion of the building pad for the swimming pool is not appropriate for the property. B. The Variance is not 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 because a new residence is being constructed and there are other locations on this relatively flat lot for the swimming pool. C. The granting of the Variance will 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 because the construction of a swimming pool that encroaches into setbacks does not minimize structural coverage on the pad, leaves little open space between property lines and would result in overexpansion of the building pad on this relatively flat lot. Section 5. Based upon the foregoing findings, the Planning Commission hereby denies the request for a Variance approval for the construction of a swimming pool that will encroach into the side yard setback in Zoning Case No. 582. Section 6. Section 17.46.020 requires a development plan to be submitted for site plan review and approval before any building or structure may be constructed or any expansion, addition, alteration or repair to existing buildings or structures, which involve changes to grading or an increase in 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 or structure by more than twenty-five percent (25%) in any thirty-six month period, may be permitted. With respect to the Site Plan Review application, the Planning Commission makes the following findings of fact: A. The proposed development, as modified by the conditions of approval, is compatible with the General Plan, the Zoning Ordinance and surrounding uses because the proposed structure complies 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, and lot coverage requirements. The lot has a net square foot area of 56,455 square feet. The proposed residence (7,634 sq. ft.), garage (1,007 sq. ft.), stable (470 sq.ft.), swimming pool 030 sq.ft.), and service yard (120 sq.ft.) will have 9,861 square feet which constitutes . 17.47% of the lot which is within the maximum 20% structural lot coverage requirement. The total lot coverage including paved areas and driveway RESOLUTION NO. 98-17 PAGE 2 OF 6 • • will be 17,833 square feet which equals 31.59% of the lot, which is within the 35% maximum overall lot coverage requirement. B. The proposed development, as modified by the conditions of approval, preserves and integrates into the site design, to the maximum extent feasible, existing natural topographic features of the lot including surrounding native vegetation, mature trees, drainage courses, and land forms. C. The development plan, as modified by the conditions of approval, follows natural contours of the relatively flat site to minimize grading. The natural drainage courses will be preserved and continue drainage to the canyons at the northwestern side of this lot. D. The development plan will, based upon compliance with the conditions contained in this Resolution, supplement the existing vegetation with landscaping that is compatible with and enhances the rural character of the community. E. The development plan, as modified by the conditions of approval, substantially preserves the natural and undeveloped state of the lot by minimizing building coverage because the new structures will not cause the structural and total lot coverage to be exceeded. Further, the proposed project will have a residential and total buildable pad of 37,005 square feet with a 26.65% pad coverage. F. The proposed development, as modified by the conditions of approval, is harmonious in scale and mass with the site, the natural terrain and surrounding residences. As indicated in Paragraph A, the lot coverage maximum will not be exceeded. The proposed project will be located on a relatively flat lot that is also consistent with the scale of other homes in the immediate neighborhood. Grading will be minor and required only to restore the natural slope of the property. The ratio of the proposed structures to lot coverage is similar to the ratio found on several properties in the vicinity. G. The proposed development, as modified by the conditions of approval, is sensitive and not detrimental to convenience and safety of circulation for pedestrians and vehicles because the proposed project will provide a safer driveway accessway. H. The project conforms with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act and is categorically exempt from environmental review. Section 7. Based upon the foregoing findings, the Planning Commission hereby approves the Site Plan Review application for Zoning Case No. 582 for a proposed residential development as indicated on the development plan incorporated herein as Exhibit A, subject to the following conditions: RESOLUTION NO. 98-17 PAGE 3 OF 6 • • A. This Site Plan approval shall expire within one year from the effective date of approval if construction pursuant to these approvals has not commenced within that time period, as required by Section 17.46.080. B. It is declared and made a condition of this Site Plan approval, that if any conditions thereof are violated, this approval shall be suspended and the privileges granted thereunder shall lapse; provided that the applicant has been given written notice to cease such violation and has failed to do so for a period of thirty (30) days. 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 dated July 27, 1998, and marked Exhibit A, except as otherwise provided in these conditions. E. The working drawings submitted to the County Department of Building and Safety for plan check review must conform to the development plan approved with this application. F. The finished floor elevation of the residential building pad shall not exceed 1112.5 feet. G. The swimming pool shall not encroach into any required setbacks. H. Grading for the project shall not exceed 537 cubic yards of cut soil and 537 cubic yards of fill soil, allowing for shrinkage of the soil when it is compacted. I. The proposed basement (to be used as an equipment room) shall not exceed 822 square feet. J. The residential and total building pad coverage shall not exceed 26.65%. K. The maximum disturbed area shall not exceed 39.55% of the net lot area. L. The new driveway apron shall be 24 feet in width. M. No shrubs shall be planted adjacent to the driveway which will obstruct either a driver's view from the driveway or the view of vehicles exiting the property from the roadway. RESOLUTION NO. 98-17 PAGE 4 OF 6 N. The applicants may modify the new driveway location no more than 5 feet from the proposed location (a distance of 47 feet north of its existing location) if the applicant desires to salvage the Eucalyptus tree located on the property. The old driveway shall be abandoned and returned to a non -useable natural condition. O. Landscaping shall be provided and maintained to obscure the buildings and the building pad with native drought -resistant vegetation that is compatible with the surrounding vegetation of the community. P. Prior to the submittal of an applicable final grading plan to the County of Los Angeles for plan check, a detailed grading and drainage plan with related geology, soils and hydrology reports that conform to the development plan as approved by the Planning Commission must be submitted to the Rolling Hills Planning Department staff for their review. Cut and fill slopes shall not exceed a steepness of a 2 to 1 slope ratio. Q. The project must be reviewed and approved by the Rolling Hills Community Association Architectural Review Committee prior to the issuance of any building or grading permit. R. Notwithstanding Sections 17.46.020 and 17.46.070 of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code, any modifications to the project which would constitute additional development shall require the filing of a new application for approval by the Planning Commission. S. The applicants shall execute an Affidavit of Acceptance of all conditions of the Site Plan approval, or the approvals shall not be effective. T. All conditions of the Site Plan approval that apply must be complied with prior to the issuance of a building or grading permit from the County of Los Angeles.
