1095RESOLUTION NO. 1095 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROLLING HILLS GRANTING APPROVAL OF A TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP NO. 71374, SUBDIVISION NO. 92, A REQUEST TO SUBDIVIDE A 10.16 ACRE LOT INTO TWO SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL LOTS, BOTH FRONTING ON POPPY TRAIL ROAD, AND GRANTING APPROVAL OF VARIANCES TO LOCATE AN AREA FOR A FUTURE STABLE AND CORRAL IN THE FRONT YARD ON PARCEL 1 AND TO EXCEED THE MAXIMUM PERMITTED DISTURBANCE OF THE LOTS, IN ZONING CASE NO. 789, AND ADOPTING A MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION, (CJPIA). THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROLLING HILLS DOES HEREBY FIND, RESOLVE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. An application was duly filed by A.C. Lazzaretto and Associates on behalf of the California Joint Powers Insurance Authority (CJPIA), with respect to real property located at 1 Poppy Trail Road, 7569-007-001 and 7567-014-014, Lot No. 90-B-RH. The applicant requests approval to subdivide one lot totaling 10.16 acres into two single family residential lots and Variances to permit a set aside area for a future stable and corral in the front yard on Parcel 1 and to exceed the maximum permitted disturbance on each lot. The applicant is also requesting several modifications from the City of Rolling Hills Subdivision Ordinance. Section 2. The lot under consideration resulted from a Lot Line Adjustment in Zoning Case No. 788, where 1.17 acres of land was transferred to subject lot from Parcel 7567- 014-029 (Saridakis Construction Inc.) and 3.99 acres was transferred from a City owned lot, Parcel 7567-001-901. Section 3. Willdan Engineering consultants acted as the City Engineer for this project and reviewed the application and pertinent documents, studies and materials. Their recommendations are incorporated into the conditions of approval. Willdan Engineering found that the project is feasible for implementation by the developer and that it is in conformance with City's and state regulations pertaining to subdivisions. Section 4. The application applies to Lot 90-B-RH, which consists of 10.16 acres gross. The lot is proposed to be divided into two parcels as follows: Parcel 1 is proposed to be 4.09 acres gross and 2.68 acres net; Parcel 2 is proposed to be 6.08 acres gross and 4.76 acres net. The parcel is developed with a single family residential development and accessory structures, which will be demolished. With a zoning map amendment, approved under Zoning Case No. 790, the parcel will be zoned RA -S-2 (2 -acre minimum lot size. The General Plan Land Use designation for this property is Very Low Density Residential 2+ Net Acres per Dwelling Unit. Section 5. On March 5 of 2005, a landslide occurred in the City of Rolling Hills. The landslide originated on property located at 1 Poppy Trail Road (the "Sheen property") and terminated just below the roadway easement for Poppy Trail Road. The landslide buried a portion of Poppy Trail Road, which was the sole means of ingress and egress for nine residential lots, eight developed and one vacant lot. Poppy Trail Road traversed the parcel of land owned by the City of Rolling Hills. Following the landslide, the City and the Rolling Hills Community Association (RHCA) undertook various improvements within their respective areas of jurisdiction and responsibility in the vicinity and on the landslide mass including winterization of the landslide mass, widening of some of the trails, construction of an access road at the toe of the landslide, and construction of a debris wall along Poppy Trail Road. Over the ensuing months, various legal actions were initiated among and between parties that were impacted by the landslide. The disputes were ultimately resolved through a Settlement Agreement ("Agreement") that was approved by all parties in April 2010. Success of the Agreement is contingent on the fulfillment of certain conditions and requirements. Among the Agreement conditions is a requirement calling for approval by the City and by the Rolling Hills Resolution No. 1095 Community Association of a subdivision map creating two or three parcels where a single parcel now exists. The Agreement further stipulates a time line, by which the remediation of the landslide must be accomplished. Remediation of the land and improvements that were impacted by this landslide would be incorporated into the subdivision map and associated submittals and documents including a lot line adjustment, a grading plan, a zone change, site plan review and variances, and legal procedures related to the transfer and ownership of parcels created or modified through implementation of the Agreement. Section 6. The Planning Commission held duly noticed public hearings in this case on August 17, 2010 September 14, 2010 and at a field trip visit on August 17, 2010. Pursuant to Section 16.12. 110 of Title 16, Subdivisions, of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code, the Planning Commission is the advisory agency for review of a Tentative Tract/Parcel Map and the Commission is to make its recommendations to the City Council upon completing evaluation of all environmental proceedings pursuant the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). At their September 14, 2010 meeting the Planning Commission recommended to the City Council by a resolution, Resolution No. 2010-20 to approve Tentative Parcel Map No. 71374 with conditions and to adopt the Final Mitigated Negative Declaration. Section 7. The City Council held duly noticed public hearings in this case on September 27 and October 4, 2010 and at a field trip visit on August 17, 2010. 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 and the City Council having reviewed, analyzed and studied said proposal. The applicants' representatives were in attendance at the hearings and addressed the City Council. Section 8. The applicants' (CJPIA) consultants prepared an Initial Environmental Study for the various aspects of the project and determined that with the implementation of mitigation measures no negative effect on the environment will result from the project. A Mitigated Negative Declaration was therefore prepared, noticed in the Palos Verdes Peninsula News, and mailed to the required reviewing agencies. Notice of the public hearings, field trip and of the preparation of the Mitigated Negative Declaration was also mailed to residents within 1,000 -foot radius of the project. Comments on the Mitigated Negative Declaration from all the interested parties and the reviewing agencies were due by September 1, 2010. The comments and responses were incorporated into an amended Mitigated Negative Declaration. The public review and comment period for this project's Draft MND (`Project MND') began on July 29 and ended on September 1, 2010. A Final MND was subsequently prepared to respond to each of the three comments received during the review period. A fourth written comment letter from the Los Angeles County Fire Department (LACFD) was received on September 13 and on September 14, the Planning Commission held an adjourned special meeting and public hearing to develop recommendations to the City Council concerning the Final Project MND and the proposed project. At that meeting, Mr. Stan Lamport, Esq. orally expressed concerns on the Final MND regarding noise and air quality issues. Although Mr. Lamport's comments were made after the close of the MND public comment period, the City has asked that the comments be addressed in order to offer the fullest possible protection to the residents and environment of the City of Rolling Hills in the event the project is approved and implemented. Accordingly, the environmental consultants have thoroughly analyzed the issues and prepared responses to address each point. As a result of this analysis, several of the mitigation measures contained in the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) have been replaced with equal or more effective measures. At the City Council public hearing Mr. Lamport spoke again regarding the noise issue in the MND. The City Council finds that responses and changed mitigation measures offered in the Final Mitigated Negative Declaration, in combination with the public hearing of the City Council and written findings prepared in this resolution, constitute full compliance with requirements of CEQA Section 15074.1. Section 9. The City Council has reviewed the proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration and finds that it represents the independent judgment of the City and that it was prepared in compliance with CEQA. Therefore, the City Council finds there will not be a significant effect in this case on the environment because mitigation measures have been added to the project, and are incorporated herein by reference. Based upon these findings, the City Resolution No. 1095 2 Council hereby adopts the Final Mitigated Negative Declaration in accordance. with the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act. Section 10. The applicant is seeking a Variance from the requirement that every new parcel have an area set aside for a future stable and corral, which is not to be located in setbacks or front yard. The proposed set aside is in the front yard of Parcel 1. Based on the evidence submitted, the City Council finds that the granting of the Variance will not be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to the property or improvements in such vicinity and zone in which the property is located because there exist unique circumstances on the property due to the necessary landslide remediation activities and the limited area to create building pads. Section 11. The applicant is seeking a Variance from the requirement that no more than 40% of any lot may be disturbed. Disturbance includes remedial grading, any proposed or existing graded slopes and graded building pad areas, and any nongraded areas where impervious surfaces will remain or are proposed to be added. The subdivider proposes to disturbed 65% of Parcel 1 and 55% of Parcel 2. -The disturbance of the lots is necessary in order to remediate the landslide and to create residential building pads and access thereto. Grading is also necessary for the reconstruction of Poppy Trail Road to provide safe access to the remaining residents along Poppy Trail. The area below the road on Parcel 1 and Parcel 2 will not be disturbed and will remain protected from any future disturbance. There are exceptional and extraordinary circumstances and conditions applicable to the property because of the 'existence of a landslide, which if not repaired will threaten public health and safety. If the slide is not repaired, further slippage may cause damage to other properties in the vicinity. Section 12. Pursuant to the Rolling Hills Municipal Code Section 16.12.130 the City Council grant the following modifications for this project which are determined to be warranted because of the shape, location, steepness of the lots, the numerous easements for equestrian and road uses, the road traversing the properties and the unusual physical conditions thereon: A. Width of Streets. Section 16.16.090 of the Subdivision Ordinance requires that the easement or right of way for all streets shall be no less than sixty feet in width. The applicant proposes the right of way to be between 45-55 feet wide with a 25 feet paved surface. That portion within 45 -foot easement will have an adjacent trail and the area of the trail plus the entire area to the east thereof, up to the easterly property line of Parcel 2 is proposed to be an easement to the RHCA. The RHCA has conceptually supported the 45 -55 -foot roadway easement as an acceptable easement width for acceptance into their roadway system. Although the City's requirement is 60 -foot roadway easement, the City defers to the RHCA for direction, as the roads are private and the City does not retain any right of way. There are many streets within the City that have less than 60 -feet roadway easements. Based on the evidence submitted the City Council finds that the topography, size of lots, location of the existing road makes it impractical to dedicate 60 -feet for roadway easement. B. Street Grades. Section 16.16.150 of the Subdivision Ordinance requires that no street may have a grade of more than 6%, except where impractical the grade may be no more than 10%, and maximum of 17% for a distance of not more than 150 feet. The slope of the proposed road will vary from 9,8% to 18.4%. At the maximum, the grade will be 18.4% for a distance of 110 feet. The modified road will be wider than the existing road, will have -greater visibility, and will be less steep in several places than it is currently. A traffic analysis and sight distance study was conducted to determine the best and safest design for the reconstructed road. Several alternatives were considered and are described in the Mitigated Negative Declaration document. It was determined that the proposed configuration would be the most desirable. The existing Poppy Trail will be redesigned in several places and the paved area widened from 18 feet to 25 feet in westerly direction. Additional 9-10 feet of shoulder area, not paved, will be created along which an up to 8 -foot wall will be constructed. Preliminary road plans have been submitted to the Fire Department for their review and comment and were approved. Based on the evidence submitted the City Council finds that the topography, size of lots and the grades to remediate the landslide make it impractical to meet the letter of the law and that the width of the proposed road will compensate for the steepness of the slopes for a short distance. C. Access to Building Pad. Section 16.16.170(ii) of the Subdivision Ordinance requires that the grade of access to the building pad shall not be greater than 12%, or as otherwise approved by the Planning Commission pursuant to the Zoning Ordinance Resolution No. 1095 3 requirements. The proposed access to the building pad for Parcel 1 will be at a maximum 16% for a distance of 90 feet. Access to Parcel l will be at a maximum 17% grade for a distance of 80 feet. Based on the evidence submitted the City Council finds that the topography, size of lots and the grades to remediate the landslide make it impractical to meet the letter of the law and that the width of the proposed driveways will compensate for the steepness of the slopes for a short distance. D. Grading prohibited,. Section 16.20.210 of the Subdivision Ordinance require that no building site shall be graded until such time as a building permit has been issued for erection of a structure on the lot to be graded. The applicant proposes to grade the lots and create two ready to construct upon building pads. In order to remediate the landslide condition on the lots and to meet the requirements of the Settlement Agreement, it is necessary to grade the lots and rebuilt the slopes. Grading activities, other than landslide remediation, will result in widening and reconfiguring of the existing road, construction of drainage devices, walls, driveways, building pads and trails. The grading is designed to accomplish lot stabilization, provision of safer and wider road than currently exists and subdividing one lot into two lots. Since the entire lot will be re -graded for stability, it is reasonable to create building pads at the same time. Future construction of homes and accessory structures will be subject to a Site Plan Review and other discretionary permit process. E. Setbacks. For demonstration purposes it is required that a minimum of 12,000 square foot building pad area, not in setbacks, be shown on a Tentative Parcel Map. The proposed residential building pads are larger than 12,000 square feet and in order to keep them at that size, setbacks must be established. The applicant is requesting the setbacks as follows: Front Yard Setback — 50 feet westerly from the roadway easement of Poppy Trail Road for both parcels; Side Yard Setbacks, Parcel 1 - along Portuguese Bend Road, and along the westerly most property line; Parcel l — along westerly most property line and along northerly property line; Rear Yard Setback, Parcel 1— along southerly property line and Parcel 2 — along southerly property line. The Zoning Ordinance defines the rear lot line as the lot line opposite and most distant from the front lot line. In the case of the proposed parcels, the applicant is requesting that the rear lot lines be designated along the southerly property lines. The slopes and grading required for this project limit the area for the building pads. The existing pads on the existing parcel are located closest to the westerly property line and less than 50 -feet thereto (which would be required for a rear setback). In order to maximize the size of the building pad areas, the applicant is requesting that the setbacks be modified and established presently. Based on the evidence submitted the City Council finds that the topography, size of lots and the grades to remediate the landslide and the best location of the building pads make it impractical to meet the letter of the law. Section 13. Pursuant to Section 16.12.150 of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code the City Council makes the following findings of fact: A. The proposed tentative parcel map. and the design and improvement of the proposed subdivision are consistent with the applicable General Plan, including but not limited to, the following goals and policies of the General Plan: 1. Maintain Rolling Hills' distinctive rural residential character (Land Use Element, p. 15) by creating a subdivision meeting the minimum lot size standard that will allow significant portions of the parcels to remain undeveloped thereby maintaining open space and scenic vistas. 2. Accommodate development which is compatible with and complements existing land uses (Land Use Element, p. 15) by creating a subdivision with lots that are greater than the minimum lot size and allowing significant portions of the parcels to remain undeveloped, preserving the City's easements and open space system, and preserving significant areas and maintaining the rural character of the City. 3. Accommodate development that is sensitive to the natural environment. There are no environmental or geological hazards on the property. (Land Use Element, p. 16). A portion of Parcel 2 contains riparian environment and it will be protected from any development or grading. The riparian area will be recorded as "Environmentally Protected Area" on the Final Parcel Map. Resolution No. 1095 4 4. Conserve and enhance the City's natural resources, facilitating development in a manner which reflects the characteristics, sensitivities -and constraints of these resources (Open Space and Conservation Element, p.'15) by creating a subdivision with lots that are greater than the minimum lot size, reconstructing horse and walking trails and providing better access than currently exists to the horseback riding ring. B. The site is' physically suitable for the proposed density and type of development. The proposed use, density, and proposed subdivision improvements are permitted in the RA -S-2 zone. The RA -S-2 Zone requires that the minimum lot size be 2 acres net. The project has 10.16 acres gross and creates lots with the following dimensions: Parcel 1 is proposed to be 4.09 acres gross and 2.68 acres net; Parcel 2 is proposed to be 6.08 acres gross and 4.76 acres net. C. The design of the subdivision or the proposed improvement is not likely to cause substantial environmental damage; or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat, because the property is within an area of the City, designated for development and the City's development criteria will insure that any fish, wildlife, or sensitive habitats . on the property are adequately protected. The initial study prepared for the project identified environmentally sensitive area, which will be protected in perpetuity by recordation on'the final map as "Environmentally Protected Area". D. The design of the subdivision or type of improvements is not likely to cause serious public health problems because conditions of approval have been applied to the project to require compliance with applicable codes and ordinances designed to protect public health and safety. E. The design. of the subdivision or type of improvements will not conflict with easements acquired by the public at large for access through or use of property within the proposed subdivision. New roadway easements will be recorded in favor of the Rolling Hills Community Association and adequate access will be provided to each parcel and adjacent parcels. In addition, 'each parcel created as part of this subdivision will contain perimeter easements providing access for roads, trails, and public utilities. As a condition of approval, these easements will be recorded. in deeds at a time the final map is recorded. F. The proposed subdivision will not adversely affect the housing needs of the region. G. The proposed use will be in substantial compliance with the provisions of the Residential Development Standards in the Rolling Hills Zoning Ordinance, except that a Variance is granted for locating an area for a future stable and corral in the front yard on Parcel 1. H. The proposed use will be compatible with other existing residential development in the immediate area. I. The tentative map design provides for future passive or natural heating or cooling opportunities in the subdivision to the extent feasible because the project is designed with lots of adequate dimensions to maximize the opportunities for passive and natural heating and cooling. J. The tentative map does not propose to divide land, which is subject to a contract entered into pursuant to the California Land Conservation Act of 1965, because the property in question has not been included in any such contract. K. Pursuant to Section 66474.6 of the Government Code (Subdivision Map Act), the discharge of waste from the proposed subdivision into proposed septic systems will not result in violation of existing requirements prescribed by the California Regional Water Quality Control Board, because the subdivider is required to comply with all Conditions of Approval regarding waste disposal as required by the Health Department. L. Pursuant to the Rolling Hills Municipal Code Section 16.12.155, this Tentative Parcel Map is consistent with and does not impact the County of Los Angeles Hazardous Waste Management Plan. The project will not generate any hazardous waste. Resolution No. 1095 5 Section 14. Based upon the foregoing findings, the City Council approves Tentative Parcel Map No. 71374, Subdivision No. 92 in Zoning Case No. 789, a request for a two (2) -lot subdivision of land and Variances to permit Parcel 1 to have a set aside area for a stable and corral in the front yard of the lot, and to exceed the maximum permitted disturbance on both lots, and modifications subject to the following conditions: MISCELLANEOUS CONDITIONS: 1.

BIO -6 Protective Signage for Wetland Area: During grading and slope remediation, the wetland area adjacent to Poppy Trail Road be fenced with orange construction (snow) fencing, and the signage be provided that states "ENVIRONMENTALLY PROTECTED AREA. ABSOLUTELY NO ACCESS". 11I0-7 Runoff BMPs: In order to prevent any adverse impacts to any on or off-site resources, it is recommended that adequate measures (Best Management Practices) be taken during construction to prevent runoff from entering the adjacent parcels. This includes silt fencing, straw wattles and sandbags along the top of the drainage that parallels Poppy Trail Road. No fill material shall be placed into this area. These measures should be sufficient to help reduce any possible indirect impacts of the proposed project to a level well below significant. ARCH -1 Archaeological Resource Identification: Should significant unique archaeological resources be found during the grading or construction within the project, the construction shall cease and the applicant at his sole expense shall hire an archeologist to assess the resources. The City of Rolling Hills shall approve of the archeologist. The archeologist shall establish procedures for archaeological resource surveillance, and shall establish, in cooperation with the project proponent, procedures for temporarily halting or redirecting work to permit the sampling, identification, and evaluation of the artifacts as appropriate. If additional or unexpected unique archaeological features, are discovered, the archaeologist shall report such findings to the project proponent and to the City Manager. If the archaeological resources are found to be significant, the archaeological observer shall determine appropriate action, in cooperation with the applicant, for exploration and/or salvage. HAZ-1 Testing Prior to Demolition: Prior to demolition of the Sheen home, an investigation shall be conducted for the presence of hazardous chemicals, lead-based paints or products, mercury and asbestos - containing materials (ACMs). If hazardous chemicals, lead-based paints or products, mercury or ACMs are identified, remediation shall be undertaken in compliance with California environmental regulations and policies.

HYDRO -2 Notice of Intent: The applicant shall submit a Notice of Intent to the State Water Resource Control Board under the General Construction Activity Storm Water Permit for grading of one acre or more of land area and shall meet all of the permitting requirements. HYDRO -3 Erosion Controls: An Erosion Control Plan per County of Los Angeles Uniform Building Code requirements shall be prepared to minimize erosion and to protect slopes and channels to control stormwater pollution as required by the Building Code. SVCS -1 Traffic Management for Utilitv Extensions: A construction traffic management plan shall be implemented if service utilities are extended from adjoining neighborhoods to the project area in a manner that would disrupt area roadways. The plan shall consist of the elements described in Mitigation TFFC-1 under §XV (Traffic and Circulation). REC-1 Relocation and Restoration of the Riding Ring: In the event it becomes necessary during the project to use Hesse' Gap Riding .Ring for soil stockpiling, soil remediation, equipment storage or any other substantive purpose, then the project applicant shall be responsible for the transport of all needed equipment and materials to Clif Hix Ring for residents' use during the period when Hesse's Gap. Ring is unavailable and, upon completion of the remediation process, for the complete restoration of Hesse's Gap Ring and the return of all equipment transported to Clif Hix Ring. NOISE -1 Construction Noise: No pile drivers shall be used during project construction. Project generated Resolution No. 1095 13 noise shall be mitigated through the use of drilled holes with cast -in-place pilings. The allowable hours of drilling holes with cast -in-place pilings shall be restricted from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Monday through Friday. NOISE -2 Hours of Operation: Although approval of the project will result in intermittent loud noise levels during grading operation and construction, the noise will be temporary. During construction, the property owners shall be required to schedule and regulate construction activities including related traffic, and therefore limit 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 and normal flow of traffic of the City of Rolling Hills. To expedite the project, extended hours may be approved. NOISE -3 Mufflers: The contractor shall be required to install on all vehicles and construction equipment properly maintained and operating mufflers and other state required noise attenuation devices. NOISE -4 Equipment Operation:, During grading and construction operations, trucks shall not park, queue and/or idle at the project site or in the adjoining right-of-way before or after the permitted hours of operations. NOISE -5 StaEinp- Areas: There shall be no staging of equipment or accumulation of vehicles on Poppy Trail Road. All staging and parking shall be in the intersection of Portuguese Bend Road and Poppy Trail in a designated staging area. NOISE -6 Construction Noise and Monitoring:_ The contractor shall conduct operations in such a manner as to not exceed a noise level of 75 dB LEQ (one-hour) at the facade of any adjacent residence unless maintaining such a level is demonstrated to the satisfaction of the City Engineer to be technically or economically infeasible. A noise consultant shall be retained by the Developer to be available on as 'as needed basis' when requested by the City to verify compliance with this measure." VIBR-1 Vibration Impacts:, To reduce pot potential vibration impacts to less than significant levels, with the owner's consent a pre- and post -construction evaluation shall be made to document with photographs the condition of walls, slabs and other surfaces on the adjacent residential property located at 24 Portuguese Bend Road. Throughout construction, weekly inspection of walls, slabs and other surfaces at the adjacent residential property shall be made to determine whether any damage has occurred. If any damage is observed, alternate methods of construction practice shall be implemented and any damages sustained shall be repaired to pre -construction levels. All results shall be documented and maintained on file and available for public inspection throughout the period of grading construction. TFFC-1 Construction Traffic Management: ment: The following Construction Traffic Management procedures will be implemented in Poppy Trail Road to reduce the impact of construction traffic and activities on Poppy Trail residents. (a) Construction Traffic Schedule: The hours of Poppy Trail construction activity will be from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM Monday through Saturday. If needed, working hours may be extended to 7:30 PM or later, through the daylight hours in the summer months, with prior notice and approval of the City and the RHCA. To the extent possible, the arrival and departure of large construction vehicles to/from the project area shall occur outside of and be minimized during the peak AM and PM commute hours (typically 7:00 to 9:00 AM and 4:00 to 6:00 PM). (b) Construction -Related Parking: Construction employees shall not be allowed to park on Poppy Trail. Construction crew members will park in the shoulder area on either side of Poppy Trail just off its intersection with Portuguese Bend Road. Construction vehicles, including construction equipment and dump trucks will .be kept on-site during the period of service, and will be parked pff-road at night and when not in use. No construction vehicles or construction equipment will be parked or staged on Poppy Trail. (c) Construction Traffic Management Scenarios: Different traffic management measures will be needed at different times, depending on the location and type of construction activity taking place. All traffic control activities shall be designed and implemented in accordance with the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) for Streets and Highways - Part 6, Temporary Traffic Control. Throughout the construction period, access priority will be given to emergency response vehicles. Trash pick-up vehicles will also require access through the construction area on pick-up days (Mondays and Thursdays). (d) Signage: Throughout the construction period advance warning signs (W20-1 - Road Work xx` Ft, and W3-4 - Be Prepared to Stop) shall be placed on Poppy Trail, one at the beginning of Poppy Trail, facing traffic turning off Portuguese Bend Road, and one south of the work area, at the hairpin turn in the road. (e) Construction Truck Access to Poppy Trail: Construction trucks may need to access Poppy Trail directly to and from the slide area on the northwest side of Poppy Trail. This would most commonly occur when a dump truck near the bottom of the slope needs to take a load of excavation materials to the I Note: actual distance (for all parts of this measure that show'xx' distance) is to be determined by the contractor based on field conditions. Resolution No. 1095 14 stockpile area, and when access via an on-site access road is not feasible. This may occur at any point along the road adjacent to the slide area, depending on where the remediation activity is taking place. (f) Flagman Requirements: When a construction vehicle needs to use Poppy Trail to get to and from the site,. a flagman will be positioned at the point of access from the slide area to warn and control traffic on Poppy Trail, and to coordinate the movement of the dump truck onto the road. A truck returning from the on-site stockpile area (the Sheen property at the top of Poppy Trail) to the slide area (via a right turn from the driveway onto Poppy Trail) would likely not require traffic control. If the overflow stockpile area at the Riding Ring is used, a truck returning to the slide area from the Riding Ring (via a left -turn from the dirt trail onto Poppy Trail) would require a flagman for traffic control. If both activities requiring flagman control described above occur during the same time period, two separate flagmen, with an acceptable means of communication between the two (i.e., two-way radio), may be required. (g) When construction activity encroaches onto Poppy Trail, requiring the short-term closure of the southbound lane, (i) advanced signing (W20-4 - One Lane Road xx Ft) will be placed on both sides of the work area; (ii) traffic cones or other appropriate channelizing devices shall be used to transition traffic on southbound Poppy Trail approaching the lane closure area. The channelization should be ektended far enough up the road so that the transition of southbound traffic into the far travel lane starts before a curve or crest in the road, to provide adequate sight distance for drivers and the flagmen; (iii) Flagmen will be positioned on both ends of the closure area, with acceptable means of communication between the two, to coordinate the direction of traffic allowed at any given time. (h) Two-way traffic flow must be restored by the end of the construction activity each night, or if lane closure is required to remain overnight, traffic control with flagmen and flashing warning lights will be required throughout the lane closure period. An overnight lane closure should only be used when absolutely necessary, and should be for as short a period of time as possible. (i) Lane Closures due to Roadway / Utility Construction: The widening and re -construction of Poppy Trail, and the installation of utilities will potentially require partial or full lane closures on each side of the road at times. This will require a phased construction plan with two or more construction phases, and traffic control tailored to keep one lane of traffic open throughout each construction phase. 0) When roadway and/or utility construction activity requires a lane closure on the side of the road being worked on, Poppy Trail, the following will be required: (i) To the extent possible, one lane of travel will be kept open at all times; (ii) If at any time, total road closure on Poppy Trail is required, such closure shall be of short duration, limited to the midday, and will require 72 hours notice to the Poppy Trail residents, and provision for emergency services; (iii) Advance signing (W20-4 - One Lane Road xx Ft) will be placed on both sides of the work area. (k) When the southbound lane is under construction, traffic cones or other appropriate channelizing devices shall be placed on southbound Poppy Trail approaching the lane closure area to transition southbound traffic. The channelization should be extended far enough up the road so that the transition starts before the curve or crest in the road, to provide adequate sight distance for drivers and the flagmen. (1) When the northbound lane is under construction, traffic cones or other appropriate channelizing devices shall be placed on Poppy Trail approaching lane closure area. The channelization should be extended to the far side of the hairpin turn so that the transition of traffic into the far travel lane starts before the curve in the road, to provide adequate sight distance for drivers and the flagmen. (m) To the extent possible, the construction and widening on the southbound side of Poppy Trail should be completed prior to the construction on the northbound side of Poppy Trail, to provide additional roadway width for construction activity and traffic, so as to minimize the requirement for northbound lane closure during the construction of the northbound side. Flagmen will be positioned on both ends of the closure area, with acceptable means of communication between the two, to coordinate the direction of traffic allowed at any given time. Two-way traffic flow must be restored by the end of the construction activity each night, or if a night lane closure is required, traffic control with flagmen and flashing warning lights will be required throughout the lane closure period. An overnight lane closure should only be used when absolutely necessary, and should be for as short a period of time as possible. (n) Haul Routes: Haul routes shall be identified to minimize congestion to public streets and highways, and presented for approval by the City of Rolling Hills and by RHCA. Haul routes for hauling demolition debris off-site and delivering construction equipment and materials to the site shall, to the extent feasible, be restricted to truck routes between the project site and the freeway system. Designated truck routes provide for the regulated movement of truck traffic through the City, and minimize intrusion of truck traffic in sensitive areas, such as residential neighborhoods. Major and primary arterials and roadways providing access to the freeways are the most likely candidates for truck route designation. (o) The designation of truck routes is intended to direct truck traffic to those streets where trucks would cause the least amount of neighborhood intrusion and where noise, vibration, and other factors would have the least impact. The designation of truck routes does not prevent trucks from using other roads or streets needed to make deliveries to specified destinations, as defined in the Motor Vehicle Code of the State of California, as long as truck drivers limit their route to the shortest path using non -restricted streets to get as close as possible to their destinations before using non -designated streets. Suggested haul routes include: To and from the I-110 Freeway: (a) Pacific Coast Highway; (b) Western Avenue / Palos Verdes Drive North, or (c) Crenshaw Boulevard / Rolling Hills Road; (d) Portuguese Bend Road to Poppy Trail and the project site. To and from the Chandler Ouarry: (a) Palos Verdes Drive East; (b) Palos Verdes Drive North; (c) Portuguese Bend Road to Poppy Trail and the project site.
