The additions appear well -integrated into the present residence, and will be a nice enhancement of the residence and to our neighborhood. The proposed additions minimally encroach into the side -yard setback. As you know, virtually every residence on Chuckwagon Road encroaches into side -yard set -backs on both sides of the residence. This allows construction of ranch -style homes which are aligned long -wise with the street, versus "shot -gun" type houses that extend farther into the lot while having less street facing. Granting of such variances still leaves a minimum of 20 feet between residences, and since most homes are stepped down the hill and off -set on lots, there is not a visual impact.

A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF . THE CITY OF ROLLING HILLS GRANTING A VARIANCE TO PERMIT CONSTRUCTION OF ADDITIONS, PORTION OF WHICH WOULD ENCROACH INTO THE SIDE YARD SETBACKS AND A VARIANCE TO EXCEED THE MAXIMUM PERMITTED DISTURBED AREA OF THE LOT AT AN EXISTING SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE IN ZONING CASE' NO. 700 AT 40 CHUCKWAGON ROAD, (LOT 23-CF), (LONG). THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ROLLING HILLS DOES HEREBY FIND, RESOLVE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS: - Section 1. Application was duly filed by Mr. and Mrs. David Long with respect to real property located at 40 Chuckwagon Road, Rolling Hills (Lot 23-CF) requesting a Variance to encroach with 185 square feet of a 922 square feet additions into the side setbacks, (encroachment of 43 sq.ft. into the east side setback and 142 sq.ft. into the west side setback) and a Variance to exceed the maximum permitted disturbed area of the lot at an existing single family residence. Section 2. The Planning Commission conducted duly noticed public hearings to consider the applications on December 21, 2004, January 18, 2005, and at a field trip visit on January 18, 2005. The applicants were 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 applicants and their representative were in attendance at the hearings. Section 3. In 1982 a Variance was granted to encroach with an addition into the easterly side setback. The proposed addition will follow the building line of the previously constructed encroachment on the easterly side and along the existing building line on the westerly side. In 1992 a Conditional Use Permit was granted to convert a stable into a guest house and to further encroach with a proposed addition into the side setback. That addition was not constructed. Section 4. The Planning Commission finds that the project qualifies as a Class 3 Exemption (State of CA Guidelines), and is therefore categorically exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act. Section 5. Section 17.16.120 requires the side setback for every residential parcel in the RA-S-1 Zone to be twenty (20) feet from the side property line. The applicants are requesting to construct a 922 square foot addition, 185 square feet of which would continue the encroachment into the side setbacks. With respect to this request for a Variance, the Planning Commission finds as follows: Reso. 2005-07 T.nna 1 • • 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 lot is irregular in shape, narrowing to 70-feet in width over much of its depth. The existing house was built from side setback to side setback, which creates a difficulty in constructing the addition elsewhere on the property. Previous additions were constructed in the side setbacks and the proposed additions will follow the building line of the previously constructed additions. There are no easements along the side property lines on subject property; therefore, there aren't any restrictions on planting in the remaining areas of the setback. 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 existing residence is modest in size and the addition would cause the residence to be of the size of the average home in the vicinity. 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. The proposed addition 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. D. In granting of the Variance the spirit and intent of the Zoning Ordinance will be observed in that the proposed addition will be orderly, attractive and shall protect the rural character'of the community. The proposed addition will not encroach into the existing or potentially future equestrian uses on the property. A suitable area for a future stable and corral will be set aside. E. The Variance request is consistent with the General Plan of the City of Rolling Hills because the proposed structures comply with the General Plan requirement of low profile, low -density residential development with sufficient open space between surrounding structures. Section 6. Based upon the foregoing findings and the evidence in the record, the Planning Commission hereby approves the Variance for Zoning Case No. 700 to permit a 922 square foot addition, 185 square feet of which would encroach into the side setbacks, subject to the requirements of Section 9 of this Resolution. Section 7. 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 Reso. 2005-07 T .nn v 7 • • property to the same extent enjoyed by similar properties in the same vicinity. A Variance to Section 17.16.070 (B) is required. because it states that the lot disturbance shall be limited to 40% of the net lot area. With respect to this request for a Variance for lot disturbance of 53.3%, the Planning Commission finds as follows: A. There are exceptional and extraordinary circumstances and conditions applicable to the property or to the intended use that do not apply generally to the other property or class of use in the same zone. The Variance for the maximum permitted disturbance is necessary because the disturbance already exceeds the maximum permitted by 12.6% (disturbance is already 52.6%). The additional disturbance._wvill be minimal and will be created only when the future stable is constructed. The additions will be constructed on an existing building pad and no further disturbance of the pad will be required. 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 of the existing conditions of the lot, and due to the requirement that every single family residence must set aside an area of 1,000 square feet for a future stable and corral. 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. The proposed addition 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. Section 8. Based upon the foregoing findings and the evidence in the record, the Planning Commission hereby approves the Variance for Zoning Case No. 700 to permit a disturbed area of 53.3% of the net lot area, subject to the conditions specified in Section 9 of this Resolution. Section 9. The Variance approval regarding the encroachment of the proposed addition into the side setbacks approved in Section 6, and the Variance regarding the exceedance of the disturbed net lot area approved in Section 8 of this Resolution are subject to the following conditions: A. The Variance approvals shall expire within two years from the effective date of approval as defined in Section 17.38.070(A) of the Zoning Ordinance unless otherwise extended pursuant to the requirements of that section. B. It is declared and made a condition of the approval, that if any conditions thereof are violated, this approval shall be suspended and the privileges granted thereunder shall lapse; provided that the provided that the Reso. 2005-07 T .nn a • • City has given the applicants 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 withthe site plan on file marked Exhibit A and dated January 27, 2005 except as otherwise provided.in these conditions. E. Structural lot coverage shall not exceed 6,052 square feet or 19.67% in conformance with structural lot coverage limitations. F. Total lot coverage of structures and paved areas shall not exceed 8,496 square feet or 27.6% in conformance with total lot coverage limitations. G. The disturbed area of the lot shall not exceed 53.2% in conformance with disturbed area limitations, as approved by this Variance. H. Residential building pad coverage on the 6,405 square foot existing residential building pad shall not exceed 5,122 square feet or 79.96%. The guest house pad coverage shall not exceed 23.3%, which includes the future stable. I. There shall be no grading for this project. J. There shall be a minimum of 6-foot clearance between the southwestern corner of the structure and the top of the slope. K. If landscaping is planned in connection with this project, the landscaping shall include water efficient irrigation; to the maximum extent feasible, that incorporates low gallonage irrigation system, utilizes automatic controllers, incorporates an irrigation design using "hydrozones," considers slope factors and climate conditions in design, and utilizes means to reduce water waste resulting from runoff and overspray. To the maximum extent feasible, native vegetation and trees should be used in the landscaping scheme for this project, if planned. If trees are to be planted, they shall at full maturity not exceed the ridge height of the residence nor should they block neighbors' view. L. During construction, dust control measures shall be used to stabilize the soil from wind erosion and reduce dust and objectionable odors generated by construction activities in accordance with South Coast Air Quality Management District, Los Angeles County and local ordinances and engineering practices. M During construction, conformance with local ordinances and engineering practices so that people or property is not exposed to landslides, mudflows, erosion, or land subsidence shall be required. Reso. 2005-07 T.nno 4 • N. During construction, conformance with the air quality management district requirements, storm water pollution prevention practices, county and local ordinances and engineering practices so that people or property are not exposed to undue vehicle trips, noise, dust, objectionable odors, landslides, mudflows, erosion, or land subsidence shall be required. O. During construction, the Erosion Control Plan containing the elements set forth in Section 7010 of the 2001 County of Los Angeles Uniform Building Code shall be followed to minimize erosion and to protect slopes and channels to control storm water pollution as required by the County of Los Angeles. P. During and after construction, all parking shall take place on the project site. Q. During construction, the property owners shall be required to schedule and regulate construction and related traffic noise throughout the day between the hours of 7 AM and 6 PM, Monday through Saturday only, when construction and mechanical equipment noise is permitted, so as not to interfere with the quiet residential environment of the City of Rolling Hills. R. The property owners shall be required to conform to the Regional Water Quality Control Board and County Health Department requirements for the installation and maintenance of storm water drainage facilities. S. The property owners shall be required to conform to the Regional Water Quality Control Board and County Public Works Department Best Management Practices (BMP's) related to solid waste and storm water pollution prevention. T. Notwithstanding Sections 17.46.020 and 17.46.070 of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code, any modifications to the property, which would constitute additional structural development, including the construction of a stable, shall require the filing of a new application for approval by the Planning Commission. U. Prior to granting a final inspection and/or certificate of occupancy, all utility lines to the residence shall be placed underground. V. If a construction fence is erected during construction, it shall not be located in any easement. W. If an above ground drainage system is utilized, it shall be designed in such a manner as not to cross over any equestrian trails.

NO. 700 - UNDERGROUNDING OF UTILITIES Dear Mr. and Mrs. Long: As you know, Section 17.27.030 of the Rolling Hills Zoning Ordinance requires undergrounding of all utility lines when adding square footage to a residence or upgrading electrical service. In addition, Condition "U" of Resolution of Approval No. 2005-07 for the addition to your residence, copy enclosed, requires that "prior to granting a final inspection and/or certificate of occupancy, all utility lines to the residence shall be placed underground". Given that you can underground the utility lines to the pole across the street, or to the closest pole, if Dr. Minkes were to underground his utility lines, staff has no authority to waive the requirements for undergrounding. You may request a Variance from the Zoning Code requirement and modification to the condition of approval, by applying to the City of Rolling Hills Planning Commission for a Variance from the Zoning Code requirements and a modification to the condition in Resolution No. 2005-07, which requires the utilities to be undergrounded, (Condition U"). In order to approve a Variance, the Planning Commission must consider and make among other findings, that there are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable to the property, such as size, place, topography and others, and that a special privilege is not being granted. Your project cannot be finaled until the utility lines are placed underground or the modification and a Variance are granted by the Planning Commission and ultimately by the City Council.
