LEAD AGENCY: City of Rolling Hills CONTACT PERSON: Yolanta Schwartz, Planning Director 2 Portuguese Bend Road Rolling Hills, CA 90274 PROJECT ADDRESS: 5 Sagebrush Lane, (Lot 100-3-RH), and adjacent vacant lot, (Lot 100-4-RH) Rolling Hills, CA 90274 (A.P.N 7569-011- 013,014). A 1,200 square foot area of a vacant lot, consisting of 9.2 acres will also be affected by this project. Subject lot is located west of 5 Sagebrush Lane and is known as 3 Appaloosa Lane, (LOT 246-MS, A.P.N 7569-026-011). PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Zoning Case No. 657, Site Plan Review and Variances - Request for a site plan review to permit substantial grading; and request for variances to exceed the maximum permitted disturbed area of the lots and to exceed the maximum permitted slope gradient for the purpose of repairing slope failure. Subject project encompasses two single-family residential lots. One of the lots is vacant and the other lot, 5 Sagebrush Lane is developed with a single-family residence and accessory structures. Both lots are experiencing extensive earth movement. A third lot located at 3 Appaloosa Lane, (A.P.N. 7569-026-011), which is undeveloped, will be affected by this project. 1,200 square feet of that portion of said lot adjacent to 5 Sagebrush Lane, (to the northeast), will be graded in order to construct a buttress for 5 Sagebrush Lane. Subject lot is not experiencing slope failure. The applicant proposes to conduct substantial grading and excavation, approximately 160,000 cubic yards of cut and fill, in order to repair slope failure on subject properties and restore stability of the residential site. The gross lot area of both lots is 4.9 acres. The area affected by the slope failure is approximately 3.3 acres in size. 46% of lot 3 will be disturbed and 90% of lot 4 will be disturbed. The applicant is proposing to excavate the slope failure area ®PravecI pry H. , yr-lr d I'. w• i • • and replace it with a buttress fill keyed through the ancient slope failure mass. A buttress fill is proposed along the westerly sides of both properties and along the easterly and northerly sides of the vacant lot. A buttress is a tightly compacted fill that acts like a retaining wall and is designed to hold the soil movement. The grading will be done in slots to avoid stockpiling of soil. An installation of a storm drain pipe through a portion of the buttress may be required. There is an existing single family residential development on lot 3, 5 Sagebrush Lane, which is endangered by the continually moving soil. Pursuant to the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act, (CEQA), an Initial Environmental Study was prepared for the proposed project. The study identifies environmental factors, which would be potentially affected by the proposed project. Those factors that would be impacted include air quality; biological resources due to habitat modification; geology and soils due to the extensive grading; hydrology due to substantially altering existing drainage pattern; land use and planning due to the project being in conflict with the Zoning Ordinance; noise generated during construction; and traffic generated during construction. Although the impacts will be temporary in nature, mitigation measures will be included with the project, which will lessen the impacts to level of insignificance. FINDINGS OF NO SIGNIFICANT EFFECT: BASED ON. THE INITIAL STUDY, AND RELEVANT DOCUMENTS IT HAS BEEN DETERMINED THAT WITH IMPLEMENTATION OF MITIGATION MEASURES THE PROJECT WILL NOT HAVE A SIGNIFICANT EFFECT ON THE ENVIRONMENT. Public comments on the Mitigated Negative Declaration will be received by the City of Rolling Hills from January 27, 2003 to February 17, 2003. Copies of all relevant materials including the project specifications are on file in the offices of The City of Rolling Hills. 2 Portuguese Bend Road, Rolling Hills. CA 90274 and any person is welcome to review the proposed project. Please forward any comments to Yolanta Schwartz, at the above address, or call (310) 377-1521. The Planning Commission is scheduled to consider this item at their adjourned public hearing on February 18, 2003. Such hearing will be held at 7:30 p.m. in the City of Rolling Hills Council Chambers located at 2 Portuguese Bend Road, Rolling Hills, CA. If you challenge the approval or denial of the proposed project in court, you may be limited to raising only those issues you or someone else raised at the public hearings described in this notice, or in written correspondence delivered to the City of Rolling Hills at, or prior to, the public hearings.
