Subject: New driveway approaches
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Tonsich:
On June 9, 2014 you appeared before the City Council of the City of Rolling Hills,
pursuant to Condition No. J of Resolution NO. 1135, to obtain Council approval
of the revised driveway location. Evidence was presented that the driveway had
been moved south (although slightly) as directed by the Council in Condition J.
The Council found the new driveways locations satisfactory and compliant with
Condition No. J, and the condition was hence satisfied.
The driveways shall be developed as shown on the plan submitted for the
meeting, on file with the City, stamp dated June 06, 2014. Specifically, the City
Council required that the approaches and the portion of the driveways located
on 38 Eastfield Drive have a porous surface, such as pavers.
Please note that this approval is for a CUP, Variances and Site Plan Review for
construction only necessary to construct the approved driveways and does not
include any other grading or improvements elsewhere on your property. In
addition, the abandoned portion of the existing driveway must be removed and
a rolled curb constructed. Any landscaping you wish to introduce in the
roadway or side easements must be reviewed and approved by the RHCA.
Please also be advised that the City does not review construction of pilasters; and
although shown on the plan are not part of this approval.
Prior to commencement of construction of the driveways, please submit
documentation showing the abandoned easements on 38 Eastfield Drive and
new easements for the new driveways.

RE: Consideration of New Driveway Approach at
40 Eastfield Drive, Rolling Hills, CA 90274
Dear Mr. Dahlerbeuch:
This letter will serve to reply to your request for an update on the status of a re -submission
of revised plans for my application for Conditional Use Permit (CUP) in Zoning Case no. 824 for
a second driveway approach at 38 Eastfield Drive, a variance for distance separation of the
driveways, and to construct up to 5' high retaining walls in the front yard set back.
As I am sure your file in this matter reflects, the efforts to obtain an additional driveway
entrance so that my property at 40 Eastfield Drive and the Cootes' property at 42 Eastfield Drive may
have separate entrances to their respective residences has been ongoing for over three years, as
indicated in my status letter to you of March 24, 2010.
Since before March 24, 2010, Mr. Cootes and I have been in constant discussions with the
Baers (38 Eastfield Drive) regarding a mutually agreeable design for the requested driveway
approaches. This eventual agreement was achieved alter several in person meetings, over twenty
thousand dollars in engineering costs and application fees, eventual approval by the City's Traffic
Engineer, Traffic Commission, and Planning Commission.
Specifically, on January 26, 2012, the Traffic Commission, with the Baers' consent and
approval, approved the third driveway approach on 38 Eastfield Drive. The third driveway approach
was also approved by the City's Traffic Engineer.

Page 2
The Planning Commission visited the site on August 14, 2012. On September 18, 2012, the
Planning Commission approved the third driveway approach and required retaining walls as
recommended by the City of Rolling Hill's staff in their Planning Commission Board Report for the
September 18, 2012, Planning Commission meeting, (See Board Report, p. 2).
In fact, at the City Council meeting on October 22, 2012, Councilmembers Lay and Hill both
indicated that they were in favor of approving the CUP and variances required for the third driveway
approach. Mayor Black indicated that he felt there would be too much asphalt intersecting into
Eastfield Drive and that his property suffered from sharing a driveway with his neighbor. The
Council then voted to continue the matter to provide me an opportunity to address the concerns of
Mayor Black. The minutes of the meeting are inaccurate in that the matter was not denied but rather
continued. I am sure a recording of the meeting would substantiate the actions of the City Council
of continuing the matter.
At the most recent City Council meeting regarding this issue on March 11, 2013, the Council
reviewed my revised plan which consisted of moving the driveway two arlditional feet from the
Baer's driveway. Because Mayor Black was not at the meeting the Council again voted to continue
the matter to a date to be determined so that the new Council could hear the matter en bane.
Mr. Cootes and I will continue to work with the Baers to again obtain mutual approval of the
driveway approach design, even though we already had this mutual agreement at both the Traffic
Commission and Planning Commission levels. I anticipate we will be ready to resubmit a new
mutually approved plan within 150-180 days.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

At its meeting of January 26, 2012, the Rolling Hills Traffic Commission supported your
request to reconfigure the driveways to 40 and 42 Eastfield based on the engineering
plans submitted to the City. As the next step in the process, it is necessary that you
submit your plan and the appropriate application materials for Planning Commission
approval. Following Planning Commission review, the Traffic Commission and
Planning Commission recommendations will be forwarded to the City Council, as is
standard process, for final consideration and approval.
In anticipation of your submission for Planning Commission review, please be aware
that it will be necessary to stake the project site including, but not limited to, the
proposed driveways, setback and property lines. For more information as to what
needs to be delineated by the staking and/or if you have any questions, please do not

This letter is a follow-up to a site visit to your property on September 23rd with Planning Director
Yolanta Schwartz. The purpose of our visit was to investigate earth/dirt moving work allegedly
being done on your property. We observed that work appeared to have been recently done at
both the front and rear of your property. The following are our findings and direction to you.
Work at front of property
At the front of your property, the ivy-covered slope has been disturbed with a slope cut more
than 3-feet in depth. This work constitutes "grading" (under the Municipal Code definition) and
therefore requires a grading permit from the Los Angeles County Department of Building and
Safety. Your options are either to 1) obtain approval for the grading work from both the County,
based on conformity with building regulations, and the City, based on Municipal Code zoning
regulations, or 2) restore the slope.
Under the first option, to obtain approval from the County you will need to demonstrate first
whether a grading permit is required. To do this you will need to commission a civil engineer to
prepare a plan that would define the scope of work and assess slope and soil stability. To obtain
approval from the City, regardless a grading permit is found to be required, you will need to
supplement your prior planning approval (Resolution 1028, 11/26/07) by obtaining a Variance to
exceed the maximum 40% allowed "disturbed area" on your property.
If you opt to restore the slope, you will need to move the dirt back to its original location and
immediately plant the slope and/or cover with mesh for erosion control.
Work at the rear of property
At the rear, closer to Outrider Road, we observed that the ground surface of an existing flat area
appears to have been scraped and a narrow foot path cut that leads from the play yard down a
Nicholas Tonsich
September 28, 2009
slope to the lower flat area. In a conversation with Ms. Schwartz, you stated that your gardener
had scraped weeds and vegetation in the lower area, and created a narrow path and that you wish
to lay decomposed granite (D.G.) down in both the lower area and on the path.
Your plan is acceptable, as long as you move no more dirt in either the lower flat or path areas,
and that you keen the existing configuration of the lower pad. It is also required that no
decomposed granite be placed on the slope between the house and lower level, and that you plant
this slope immediately where necessary to control erosion.
Please be advised that most of the lower pad area is located in the rear setback for your lot.
Therefore no structures, including roofed play equipment or forts are allowed in this area (see
zoning regulation 17.16.200 J. and L. attached).
It is requested that you advise of your intent in resolving this matter by contacting either Ms.
Schwartz or me within two weeks (by October 12th). Our email addresses are vs a,citvofrh.net
and rlackowncitvofrh.net. Thank you for your cooperation and I may also be reached at 377-

SUBJECT: UTILITY POLE AT 38 AND 40 EASTFIELD DRIVE, ROLLING
HILLS, CA
Dear Mr. Hayes:
It has come to our attention that Verizon erected a new pole at 38 Eastfield Drive,
(Bauer), for the purpose of servicing a telephone line for 40 Eastfield Drive, (Tonsich).
Please be advised that it is against the City policy to allow new poles to be installed,
without the City's permission and unless conditions of the property, such as existence of
canyons or streams, preclude one from placing utility lines underground.
We understand that the request to relocate Mr. Tonsich's telephone line was initiated by a
private individual, Mr. Bauer, because Mr. Tonsich's line crossed Mr. Bauer's driveway.
We would like to inform you that Mr. Tonsich, 40 Eastfield Drive, was recently granted
City approvals to make improvements to his property. One of the conditions of approval
requires that prior to finaling the construction, all of the utility lines serving 40 Eastfield
Drive be placed underground. Once the telephone line extending from the new pole to 40
Eastfield Drive is placed underground, we will require that Verizon, at its sole expense,
remove the recently installed pole.
Should you have any questions, or require additional information, please contact me at
(310) 377-1521. Thank you for your cooperation.

In a letter dated October 8,1997, you requested that the City allow you to retain your
relocated overhead electrical lines and you indicated that "I will agree to place the line
underground when I have my driveway removed and replaced with interlocking stone
material within the next 24 months...." Based upon that request, we permitted you to
keep your overhead electrical facilities in the improved capacity until November, 1999.
We have enclosed a copy of that correspondence for your records.
Your latest correspondence dated October 30,1998 was in response to our request for
information as to when you plan to underground the electrical facilities to your
property since we learned that you had recently repaved your driveway without
undergrounding any of the facilities. In your correspondence, you request that we
provide you "further accommodation regarding the electrical line issue."
We will honor our original extension of the requirement to underground your electrical
facilities from the existing overhead capacity until November, 1999.
However, you must immediately contact the County of Los Angeles to obtain building
permits for the work you described in the October 30,1998 correspondence. Although
some of this work appears to be minor, the County of Los Angeles indicates that a
portion of the work requires building permits. Los Angeles County Building Inspector
Rafael Bernal can be reached at (310) 534-3760.

This letter will serve to confirm my request to allow the powerlines, currently
running from Eastfield Drive across the top of my pool to the electrical panel on my
house, to be relocated to the power pole located on Eastfield Drive between 38
Eastfield Drive and 40 Eastfield Drive, overhead to a new panel installed on my
garage.
I initially undertook the relocation of the powerlines because it seemed unsafe
to have them running over the top of my pool. In furtherance of relocating the
powerlines I spoke with Kenneth L. Allen of the Planning Department for Southern
California Edison. Mr. Allen met with me at my property and indicated that the
powerlines could be relocated by having them run from the existing power pole
between 38 Eastfield Drive and 40 Eastfield Drive to a new panel located at my
garage.
Thereafter, I obtained the permit to relocate the panel from the Department of
Building and Safety. At no time was I advised that the relocation of the panel would
require me to have the powerlines placed underground. It was not until the inspector
from the Department of Building and Safety, Rafael Bernal, inspected the new panel
on my garage that I was informed that the City of Rolling Hills may require the
powerlines to be placed underground. My request for a variance from the requirement
that the powerlines be placed underground is based on several factors.
First, had I known at the time I obtained the electrical permit that the lines were
required to be placed underground I would not have placed a new panel on my garage,
• •

but merely ran the lines from my existing panel to Eastfield Drive which would have
required a trench only on my property. Second, in order to place the lines
underground at this time a trench would have to be placed almost entirely on the
property of 38 Eastfield Drive. To obviate the need to remove driveways on either my
property or 38 Eastfield Drive, a majority of the trees and shrubbery which divide the
two properties would have to be removed as well. Third, in order to avoid the
placement of the trench entirely on the property of 38 Eastfield Drive, I would
essentially have to remove my driveway which would be cost prohibitive.
Therefore, I request that the City allow me to run the lines from my garage to
the existing power pole located between 38 Eastfield Drive and 40 Eastfield Drive.
I will agree to place the lines underground when I have my driveway removed and
replaced with an interlocking stone material within the next 24 months, which should
provide me with enough time to have plans approved for the reconstruction and
expansion of my garages.
I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter since the current powerlines
feed through the roof of my house and prevent the completion of my new roof
thereby creating a risk of water damage should we experience heavy rains in the near
future.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Very truly yours,

I apologize for the delay in responding to your September 14, 1998 letter, but I was
married on September 12, 1998, and was out of the country on our honeymoon until the end of
September. Since my return I have been working to obtain a meaningful response to your letter
in the form of actual permits, elevations, and specific status and time tables for completion.
In response to the request for a list of work that I have done to my residence, the list
includes:
1. New hardwood floors;
2. New carpet;
3. New tile floor in kitchen;
4. New interior doors;
5. New base and interior window molding;
6. Interior and exterior paint;
7. New roof;
8. Resurface driveway;
9. New cabinets in kitchen, laundry and bathrooms;
10. Replace four windows with same rough opening Anderson windows, no grids;
11. Color coat existing exterior stucco (white);
12. Install new granite counter tops in kitchen;
13. Install marble mantles for fireplaces.
14. Rewire interior telephone lines;
15. Install security alarm.

I have retained an architect to draw the north elevations of my house which depict the
windows which were installed. Pursuant to my conversation with Peggy, I will be submitting the
elevations along with photographs to the Rolling Hills Community Association ("RHCA") for
approval. Since the rough window openings remained the same, I do no anticipate the need to
obtain structural permits. The remaining work on my home either has been permitted or is
simply refurbishing existing construction.
A few months ago I was visited by two Los Angeles County Firemen who requested that
I remove the brush and weeds from the eastern hillside of my property. Thereafter, I hired a
bobcat operator to clear the hillside and lower portion of my lot. There were no cuts or fills
made on the hillside or lower lot, the size of the hill and lower lot are the same as they have
always been since I have owned the property.
On October 29, 1998, I had a telephone conversation with Craig. Craig asked me to
address the current condition of the electrical service to my house in relation to the recent
resurfacing of my driveway.
I realize that the City of Rolling Hills authorized me to move the electrical service to a
new drop on my property, so as to remove the condition of the electrical lines running over the
top of my pool, based on my agreement to bury the lines when I tore out and replaced my
driveway.
I was under the impression that the need to bury the lines was precipitated by my initial
request to run the power lines from the pole next to the Smith's property at 38 Eastfield Drive,
across their driveway and to my electrical panel. This was based on the requirement that I had to
obtain Mr. Smith's permission to run the lines across his property. When Southern California
Edison ran the lines from the original power pole entirely across my property to my electrical
panel, it did not seem that the need to bury the lines was as important since they do not impact
the Smith's property nor are they visible to anyone who is not on my property based on the slope
of my lot. Additionally, because of time constraints in preparing my house for my wedding
reception, I really did not have time to have the driveway removed and replaced, so I merely had
it resurfaced.
I would appreciate a further accommodation regarding the electrical line issue. I would
rather not have to remove the driveway or the trees between the Smith's property and mine so
that a trench can be placed for the lines at this time. I am sure that the driveway will be removed
by either myself or a subsequent owner. At that time the lines can be buried.
•
Lola M. Ungar

My thought is that based on the current insignificant impact of the lines (no view
impairment nor do they cross another's property) and that they were initially moved only for
safety reasons, an indefinite delay pending the actual removal of the driveway would be a fair
application of the City's ordinance.
I anticipate having the elevations regarding the window installation to the RHCA by
November 6, 1998. I look forward to your reply regarding the remaining improvements.

Dear Mr. Tonsich:
On October 2, 1998, we discussed the Building and Zoning Violations that took place
at your property in response to our letter of September 14, 1998, requesting that you
contact this office in writing by October 5, 1998 to inform us of any planned action.
You said that you would be writing a letter and would obtain the proper permits. To
date, we have not received any return correspondence.
Previously on September 4, 1998, District Engineering Associate Rafael Bernal issued
a "Stop Work Order" regarding the house remodel and rear yard grading
construction work that has taken place at your property without benefit of permits.
We attempted to reach you by phone but understand that you were out of the
country until the end of the month.
Section 15.04.010 of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code and Section 106 of the
Uniform Building Code require that, "No person shall erect, construct, enlarge,
alter, repair, move, improve, remove, connect, convert, demolish, or equip any
building, structure or portion thereof, or automatic fire -extinguishing system
regulated by Chapter 9, perform any grading, or perform landscaping as regulated by
Chapter 71, or cause the same to be done, without first obtaining a separate permit
for each such building, structure, automatic fire -extinguishing system, grading or
landscaping from the building official."
A grading permit is required for a cut that is more than three feet or a fill that is
more than three feet or covers more than 2,000 square feet in accordance with
Chapter 15.04 (Building Code) of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code or more than 20
cubic yards in accordance with the Los Angeles County Uniform Building Code
Section 7003 (Grading Permits). Site Plan Review is also required for any grading
that requires a grading permit in accordance with Chapter 17.46 (Site Plan Review)
of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code).
