Project:
Mr. and Mrs. Jack Atkinson
74 Saddle Back Road
Rolling Hills, California 90274
ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING
ITEM # 20 Project Site Description (Existing Conditions):
The project site is a sloping lot sloping downward from south (Saddleback Road) to
north (Roadrunner Road) with a change in grade elevation of approximately 107
feet. Along the existing driveway (road easement), the site slopes downward to the
south to the boundary between the City of Rolling Hills and the City of Rancho
Palos Verdes.
The surface soils consist fo natural adobe and fills which are underlain by a terrace
deposit of sandy, gravelly silt containing variable amounts of clay. (See
Preliminary Geotechnical Opinion Report By: Coastline Geotechnical Consultants,
dated 13 October 1988; Project No. 127C-108.)
Saddleback Road will be fronted by a fruit and avocado tree orchard (the planting of
which is already in progress). South of the existing road way easement the plants
consist of native brush and grasses. The roadway itself is lined with a variety of
trees. The northern hillside and ravine is comprised of native grasses with a few
wild flowers.
An existing horse trail cuts through the property along the westerly side of the
existing ravine. This trail connects Saddleback Road (above) and Roadrunner Road
(below).
The animal life is consistent with those species that are common to the area.
The existing structures on the site include a single family residence with an attached
garage, a trash enclosure (to be relocated), and an existing barn and stable area.
Please see the attached photos (existing site conditions).

ITEM# 21 Surrounding Property Descriptions:
The surrounding properties are single family (one story) residences on lots ranging
in size from slightly over one acre to as large as seven acres. To the west of the site
is #72 Saddleback Road. Southwest across Saddleback Road is #71 Saddleback
Road. North of the site across Roadrunner Road is #6 Roadrunner Road. Adjacent
to the site on the east is #76 Saddleback Road.
The southerly property line of the project site creates the boundary between the City
of Rolling Hills and the City of Rancho Palos Verdes. This area is an undeveloped
canyon.
The plant life of the surrounding area is comprised of the same types of trees,
grasses, ground cover, brush, and flowers that occur on the project site itself
and/or that are common to the area.
The animal life is consistent with those species that are common to the area.

Mr. and Mrs. Jack Atkinson
74 Saddle Back Road
Rolling Hills, California 90274
ATTACHMENT TO APPENDIX "B"
EXPLANATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
The existing ground surface relief features of the property remain unchanged. A
minimal topographic change (change in grade) occurs at four areas.
1. Master bedroom addition (east site) at the new deck. (Maximum height of wall
3', average height, 1.5')
2. Family room addition (north west site) at the new deck, (maximum height of
wall 4.0', average ht 2.5').
3. The westerly garage and service yard addition. (Service yard enclosure 6' high
per architectural committee requirements.)
4. The existing yard area. Leveling of the existing pad. (1'+ )
1'1'EM 25 A.
A few eucalyptus, a Chinese evergreen elm, a pepper tree, and a few pine trees will
be removed for the new building footprint. Several new citrus, avocado, and pine
trees will be planted (and have been planted) at the westerly side of the property.
(The net result will be an increase in the number of trees on the site.)
ITEM 37 D.
New septic tank(s) will be added / relocated per geologist and County requirements.
