ROLLING HILLS APPROVING A MODIFICATION TO PLANNING
COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 98-12 AND APPROVING A
MODIFICATION OF CERTAIN CONDITIONS FOR PREVIOUSLY
APPROVED VARIANCES TO ENCROACH INTO THE NORTH AND
SOUTH SIDE YARD SETBACKS TO AUTHORIZE THE RETENTION OF
PREVIOUSLY ILLEGALLY CONSTRUCTED RETAINING WALLS AT A

ZONING CASE NO. 617.
THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ROLLING HILLS DOES
HEREBY FIND, RESOLVE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. An application has been filed by Dr. and Mrs. Lynn Gill with
respect to real property located at 31 Chuckwagon Road (Lot 16-CF), Rolling Hills,
Rolling Hills, requesting a modification to conditions imposed for previously approved
Variances to encroach into the north and south side yard setbacks to authorize the
retention of illegally constructed retaining walls.
Section 2. The Commission considered this item at a duly noticed public
hearing on June 20, 2000, July 18, 2000, and August 15, 2000 and at a field trip visit on
August 5, 2000, at which time information was presented indicating the need to waive
the requirements to smooth the top upper edge of the uneven retaining walls because
they are now covered by native vegetation and waive the requirement to remove the
east and south pool equipment walls because removal would conflict with the Rolling
Hills Community Association requirement that pool equipment be concealed from
neighboring properties.
Section 3. Sections 17.38.010 through 17.38.050 of theRolling Hills Municipal
Code require the Planning Commission to make certain findings to lawfully grant a
request for a variance. When the Planning Commission previously granted Variances
to encroach into the north and south side yard setbacks to authorize the retention of
illegally constructed retaining walls at 31 Chuckwagon Road, the required findings
were set forth in Section 5 of Resolution No. 98-12. The Planning Commission
hereby determines that the findings contained in that prior resolution are applicable
to and can be made again in their entirety as the findings for the project as modified
and are, accordingly, incorporated herein by this reference.
Section 4. A. Based upon information and evidence submitted, the
Planning Commission does hereby rescind Paragraphs E, F, and G of Section 9 of
Resolution No. 98-12, dated June 16,1998.
B. Paragraph H, Section 9 shall read as follows:
"The lot shall be developed and maintained in substantial conformance with the
site plan on file marked Revised Exhibit "A," dated June 5, 2000, except as otherwise
provided in these conditions."

Describe in detail the nature of the proposed use, including what aspects of the
project require a plan and Variance modification.
This application is for a plan modification, Variance modification, and extension to
June 16, 2001.
On June 16, 1997, the Planning Commission of the City of Rolling Hills in Zoning Case
No. 577 approved and adopted Resolution No. 98-12 approving a Variance to encroach
into the north side yard setback to authorize the retention with modifications of as -built
non -permitted retaining walls, and approved a Variance to encroach into the south side
yard setback to authorize the retention with modifications of as -built non -permitted
retaining walls. It also approved a Variance authorizing retention of a barbecue that
encroached into the side -yard setback. The Variance was subject to sixteen Conditions
(Section 9, A through T.)
On May 18, 1999, we applied for and were granted a one-year extension to the Variance
to June 16, 2000 (Resolution No. 99-11.)
Our Variance application had also requested a variance to authorize construction of a new
trellis, designed by Edward Carson Beall, AIA and Associates, that would encroach into
the front yard setback, and retention of an as -built trellis with modifications in the front
yard setback. After discussion with the Planning Commission during the hearing process,
the request for the new trellis that would encroach into the front yard setback was
withdrawn. After a site review by the Rolling Hills Community Association Architectural
Review Committee (Condition Sec. 9 Q.) and a subsequent meeting with the Committee,
we agreed to demolish and have demolished the as -built trellis in the front yard setback.
As a part of the project plan, we demolished an as -built garden wall and removed trees in
the roadway easement, and landscaped the area with decomposed granite for parking
and a horse path.
The Architectural Revi Committee required that we build enclosed trash yard area,
which we have constructed. The Committee required changes to the pilaster design,
mailbox, lighting approval, approval of stone veneer laid in strata, and other minor
changes with which we have complied. Having met all of the requirements of the
Architectural Review Committee, the Committee and the Rolling Hills Community
Association approved the project plans. This satisfies the requirements of Section 9
Condition Q of the Variance.
The primary objective of the proposed project for which the Variance was granted was to:
1. Provide retention for an unsupported existing building and slope, and remedy existing
soil failure and slumping of the slope, and related cracking of the patio slab and pool.
A geologic survey conducted by Keith Ehlert, Consulting Engineering Geologist dated July
27, 1994 found:
• "A crack was observed in the swimming pool parallel to the slope."
• "A minor local slump has occurred on the steeper portion of the slope that descends from
the pad that the house and pool are located on. The possibility of further failures
occurring on the slopes cannot be ruled out." The area experiencing the soil failure is
located in the south side yard setback, immediately adjacent to the southern property line
between the subject property and the Lynn and Lisa Craig property at 29 Chuckwagon
Road.
• "Information in the County of Los Angeles file indicates that a permit to construct a
retaining wall to correct a slump (slope failure) was issued November 15,1988," referring
to a permit for construction of retaining walls issued to the previous owners, the
Migliaccio's. The former owners completed construction of a 5 foot retaining wall
permitted in the south side yard setback in 1988, but did not complete the permitted 3 foot
retaining walls in the south side yard setback or at the base of the slope that were
required to support the upper pad and stabilize the slope.
2. Remove extensive asphalt paving and a double driveway entry in the front yard
setback and remove asphalt paving from the north side yard setback to reduce
total flatwork from the existing 6,075 sq. ft. to approximately 3,860 sq. ft. and
replace it with new landscaping to beautify the property. Reduce the percent
total lot coverage from 42.5% to 34.1 %.
No grading was required to complete this work.
We retained John Schuricht, registered professional structural engineer 2391, of Palos Verdes
Engineering Corporation to inspect the property and provide structural engineering consulting.
Denn Engineers (Ed Schwerie, P.E. No. 11284) executed the engineering design and
prepared workingdrawings for the construction. Denn Engineers also prepared a survey and
topography of the property, and checked to make sure that there were no easements where
we intended to do the construction. Edward Carson Beall, AIA and Associates prepared
hardscape/landscape plans.
On August 22, 1997 we brought the plans into the Rolling Hills Community Association offices
to determine what permits and other authorizations were required. We found in their property
file at the Community Association office an approved Variance (Zoning Case No. 365)
allowing, among other things, construction of retaining walls along the south property line and
at the base of the slope of the building pad. We found a building permit for construction of
retaining walls issued 11-15-88 to the former owners, Mr. and Mrs. Migliaccio. We also found
an approved remedial grading plan prepared by South Bay Engineering Corporation. An
annotation was made on the 1997 plans in the Community Association offices that we were
completing the retaining walls already permitted in 1988, and the plans were filed in our
property file.
Page 2
• •
At that point we believed that we had complied with requirements and that we had a valid
Variance and building permit. We later learned that the Variance and building permit for the
retaining walls expired after one year, and that we needed to again apply for a Variance. We
applied for and were granted a Variance, Resolution No, 98-12 on June 16, 1998.
As of May 19, 2000, thirteen of the sixteen Conditions (Section 9, A-T) have been complied
with, with the exception of Conditions E, F, and G. On May 19, 2000 we opened a building
permit BL 1202-0005190028 for the as -built walls, with the intention of completing required
modification work to satisfy Variance Conditions E, F, and G. The permit expires 11-15-2000.
During this process, new information has come to our attention which makes it
necessary for us to request a modification of the plan and Variance and extension to
June 16, 2001:
Condition F. "The east and south pool equipment walls shall be removed."
We have learned that the Rolling Hills Community Association requires that pool equipment be
enclosed. Also, we have observed that Chesterfield Road and Chuckwagon Road form a
natural amphitheater which amplifies sounds in the canyon. If we were to remove the pool
equipment walls, neighbors down -slope of us (most properties on Chesterfield Road) would
clearly hear our two 2-HP pumps running eight hours per day in the summer.
The Community Association has inspected the site and has given a final approval on the pool
equipment enclosure and as -built retaining walls.
We request that the plan be modified authorizing retention of the east and south pool
equipment walls.
Conditions E. and G. "The uneven top upper edge of all retaining wall (in the side yard
setbacks) shall be a continuous smooth line and without jagged inclines or declines
along the length of the wall. The southernmost retaining wall shall be modified so as to
reduce the wall and be parallel to the slope and slightly below the topmost fence rail of
the neighbor's adjacent 3-rail fence."
The as -built walls going from the upper pad to the lower pad down the slope are a
stepped -down wall design. The number of blocks over and down in each "step" are
constructed with mathematical regularity (e.g., 6 feet over, 1-1/2 feet down, 6 feet over,
1-1/2 feet down, etc.).
1. A stepped -down wall design is specifically allowed by the Rolling Hills Community
Association Covenants.
2. While obtaining a bid from our masonry contractor to modify the as -built walls from
stepped -down to sloped wall design, we learned that modifying the wall (saw cutting a
sloped line through the blocks, jack -hammering off the step-down part of the wall, and
cutting through steel reinforcing bars) has a high risk of damaging the structural integrity of
the entire retaining wall. Steel reinforcing bars extend through the middles of the top blocks
and lower courses of blocks into the footings. Concrete is poured into the openings in the
blocks to lock the wall into one integral unit. Jackhammering out the walls' step-downs will
tend to crack or loosen lower block courses, reducing the integrity of the entire wall.
3. The plans for the as -built walls with stepped -down design have been approved by the
Rolling Hills Community Association. All retaining walls in the project are five feet high or
less, averaging no more than 2-1/2 feet high (Condition D.) The as -built walls have been
reviewed by and meet Architectural Committee and Community Association requirements.
Page 3
• •
4. Extensive native and drought -resistant plantings including Bougainvillea, Cistus,
Eriogonum, Heliantemum, and Rosemary are cascading over the tops of the walls
(Conditions I, J, K, L). When the plants are mature, the tops of the walls will appear as a
sloped line parallel to the slope, regardless of whether the walls themselves are stepped -
down or sloped. This complies in spirit to Conditions E. and G.
5. We consulted with the neighbor adjacent to the southern retaining wall before constructing
the wall to obtain his approval. He had no objection to the wall design then and still has no
objection.
6. No Rolling Hills neighbor can see the retaining wall in the northern side yard setback, as
our property abuts George F Canyon.
7. We conducted a survey of nine neighbors who may be able to see our retaining walls. Five
of the six who responded to the survey do not think we should be required to demolish the
stepped portions of the walls.
8. We have submitted pictures of stepped -down wall designs on twelve properties in the
immediate vicinity of the subject walls. This stepped -down wall design is overwhelmingly
the most common retaining wall design on properties in the same vicinity and zone as our
property. We see a stepped -down wall from our house, and our next -door neighbor has a
stepped -down wall in their front yard.
We request that the plan and Variance be modified to authorize retention of the
stepped -down retaining walls in their as -built condition.
Criteria to be satisfied for grant of Variance
Such change is based upon the following described exceptional or extraordinary
circumstances or conditions that do not apply generally to other property in the
same vicinity and zone:
The Rolling Hills Planning Commission in Resolution No. 98-12 found that there are
exceptional and extraordinary circumstances and conditions applicable to the property or
intended use that do not apply generally to the other property or use in the same zone.
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 because
The Rolling Hills Planning Commission in Resolution 98-12 found that granting of the
Variance would not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to property
or improvements in such vicinity and zone in which the property is located.
Environmental Impact
The Rolling Hills Planning Commission in Resolution 98-12 found that the project qualifies as a
Class 5 Exemption .(State CEQA Guidelines, Section 15305 (Minor Alterations to Land Use
Limitations) and is therefore categorically exempt from environmental review under the
California Environmental Quality Act.
A filing fee must accompany the application. Make check payable to: THE CITY OF
ROLLING HILLS. Check is attached.
