CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARING IN ZONING CASE NO. 862: FURTHER
CONSIDERATION OF A REQUEST FOR SITE PLAN REVIEW FOR ADDITIONAL
GRADLNG AND MODIFICATION TO BASEMENT ACCESS AND A VARIANCE TO
RECONSTRUCT THE REAR SLOPES THAT WOULD BE STEEPER THAN THE
MAXIMUM PERMfITED SLOPES ("DEFERRED ITEMS") IN ZONING CASE NO. 862 AT
40 EASTFIELD DRIVE(LOT 9l-EF), ROLLING HILLS,CA (TONSICH).
Mayor Pieper called the meeting to order at 6:30 p.m. at 40 Eastfield Drive; at the Outrider Road access
way to the property.
MI present walked south of the property on Outrider Road to view the project from the south side.
Planning Director Schwartz very briefly reviewed the request and stated that members of the City
Council requested that Mr. Tonsich stake the rear slope of the property as if it was graded to 2:1 slope
and to up to 1.5:1, as requested by the applicant along certain area of the rear. Mayor Pieper commented
on the variable steepness of the slope at 42 Eastfield. Mr. Tonsich stated that with the thick layer of ivy
it is hard to determine the steepness of the slope, but that it is greater than 2:1 and that he would like to
match that slope.
All present then walked up to the site to observe the existing slopes and the staking. Discussion ensued
regarding the stockpiled dirt on the property and that it is difficult to visualize the slopes as they existed
prior to construction.
Cotmcilmcmbers Dieringer and Black questioned the location of the septic tank and the seepage pits and
if the seepage pits could be located up the slope. In response, Lisa Naslund stated that seepage pits could
be located on a slope. Councilmembers viewed the tape and stakes indicating the slopes and the
proposed location of the keystone wall. Following brief discussion Councilmembers agreed that this
project needs to be very well screened from the neighbors and from Outrider Road.
