Assistant C�ty Attorney Karpeles presented the staff report on the praposed amendments to Rolling Hills Municipal Code Chapter 17.26 (View Preservation.) She stated that the proposed amendments begin by consolidating all of the definitions related to view preservation into the View Preservation ordinance itself rather than being included in the broader zoning code. She stated that �he intent and purpose portion of the ordinance has been amended ta include the goal of the City to recognize a balance between the preser�ation of views and the preservation of trees. She then briefly reviewed the proposed defmitions stating that with regard to the definition of"Establisned View," sta�f modified the term to "Pre-Existing View" and included Ianguage to specify a. �0-year time limit in order to incorporate the Planning Commission's direction to incorporate meaningful methods to preserve trees but that language � can be modified or stricken at the Planning Commission's discretion along with any othez�of the DRAFT definitions including the language defining "View Impairment" that specifies at 1,000 ft. distance requirement; and a list of"accessory structures." Assistant City Attorney Karpeles further reviewed the draft dispute resalution process which places the City in an advisory role and is compartmentalized into four separate phases: {1) informal dispute resolution between the neighbors; (2) mediation; (3) application to Committee on Trees and Views for an advisory determination; and (4) optional binding arbitration �o be partially subsidized by the City. She further reviewed the propased restorahve actions which are listed in hierarchy of order; the considerations when applying the ordinance to help guide the process for a mediator, Cammittee on Trees and Views or arbitrator; and protections far vegetation owners as weli as those seeking a view. Lastly, she stated that since the City is renderiang advisory opinions, a section is ir�cluded that states that the City will not be liable for recommendataons nar will the City be required to enforce any agreements achieved by#he parties. Chairman Chelf commezrted that this DRAFT ordinance is a work in progress and should be taken as� such. He sta.ted that the Planning Commission will continue to tal�e and consider input from the public as this document is considered and moved forward through the process. Chairtnan Chelf called for public comment. Lynn Gill, 31 Chuckwagon Road addressed the Planning Commission to xeview the correspondence he submitted which was provided to the Planning Commission and lists the areas where he believes the DRAFT ordinance is lacking including that it does not provide rights for the vege�ation ovvner and weakens considerations of mitigating factors ie: a right to privacy, shade or other factars. He also expressed concern that the explana�ory images were eliminated and that irnportant details were eiiminated in an attempt to simplify the document. John Nunn, 1 Crest Road West addressed the Planning Commission concernzng the allowance for views from multiple viewing areas expressing concern that such a provision may allow for tbe clear cutting of Mintites- Planning Commission Regular Meeting 07-18-17 -5 - trees. He furkher expressed suppart for the fact the City takes only an advisory role in the pracess in the proposed DRAFT. Mark Minkes, 44 Chuckwagon Road addressed the Planning Commission to suggest that the process be siznplified. He further suggested that the City inquire as to what a majority of the residents want. Commissianer Cardenas commented that the forum fox participation has been available and the Pianning Commission has heard from people on both sides of this issue and the Planning Commission's objective it ta find something that is cammon ground and represents a comprornise on both sides of the issue. Norm Miller, 4 Chesterfield Road addressed the Planning Commission in support of the concep� that "the view you bought is the view you get." He comxnen#ed that he believes the 1,OOQ ft. limit in the definitions of "�iew impairment" and the 10-year lirnit in the definition of "Pre-existing View" are arbitrary. He commented that he is not interested in finding balance but rather wauld support a view ordinance that is objective and rnakes sense. He further commented that the City should not incur any costs for arbitration or other znatters related to view disputes. 7ahn Blazevich, 1 Buggy Whip Drive addressed the Planning Commission in support of the concept that one should only be entitled to the view they purchased. He commented that disputes should be handled between the parties and not involve the City. John Nunn, 1 Crest Road West further commented that he supports the proposed language that provides for binding arbitration. Fred Lorig, 1 Spur Lane addressed the Planning Commission to express concern that placing the City in an advisory role in essence takes the City completely out of the view preservation process. He commented that if a City has a law, it should enforce#he laws and the City cannot delegate its powers to arbitration. He fixrther commented that the laws regarding view preservation should fairly balance trees and�iews. A# Chairman Chelfls �inquiry and in response to Mr. Lorig's comments, Assistant City Attorney Karpeles commented that she does not bel:ieve that serving in an advisory role puts the City in a vulnerable position. Cammissioner Cardenas cornmented that the matter regarc}ing taking an advisory role as is done in the Town of Tiburon was discussed at length; and in those discussions it was learned that the Tovvn of Tiburon ordinance was litigated and upheld. James Wald, 7 Qua.i.l Ridge Road South addressed the Planning Commission to inquire how the matter of retroactivity wi11 be addressed in the DRAFT ordinance. Chairrnaxi Chelf commented that he also had a conversation with Mr. Wald prior to the meeting. In response ta Mr. Wald's inquiry, Ms. Karpeles commented that the existing draft is not retroactive.

Discussion ensued concerning the defmitions including the term "topping" and the inclusion of the images suggested by Mr. Gill. In response to Cammissioner Coaley, Ms. Karpeies commented that topping is included as a restorative action where appropriate. Following discussion, the Planning Commissian concurred that the images should be included. Discussian ensued concerning the definit�on of the terms "pre-ex�sting�iew" and`�riew impairment." Pre-existing Yiew Ms. I�arpeles reviewed the definition of "pre-existing view" as ariginally proposed by the Planning Commission. Chairman Chelf commented that the definition should include a provision that a11ow for restoration of a view in situations where the property owner worked with their neighbor to improve the view since they purchased the property. Commission Cardenas commented that the language states the view that existed "at any time," which provides for view resta:ration in those situations. He suggested Minutes- Planning Commission Regular M�eting 07-18-17 - 6 - striking the language that was added "but not more than 10 years." Following further discussion, the Planning Commiss�on concurred that the language regarding the 10-year limit shau�d be eliminated. View Impaarment With regard to the definitian of"view impairment,"Chairman Chelf commented that he does not believe the "I,000 ft. distance Iimit" is necessary. Discussion ensued conceming the distance limit with the Planning Commissian concuming that the distance limit should be eliminated. Mr. Gi�l commented that a defmition for the term "pre-existing vegetation" should alsa be included. Discussion ensued concerning the concept of creating a right to "existing vegeta�on." Chairman Chelf com�nented that he spoke to staff and ask�d that the matter be further researched. Mr. Lorig inquired as ta the �nforcement mechanisms that will be part of �he ordinance inc�uding litigataon. Jn response to Mr. Lorig's inquiry,Ms. Karpe�es commented that the parties can litigate at any time. She further commented that language can be added to state that the parties can litigate; but since the City is not enforcing the ordinance, it is not really necessary. Commissioner Coo�ey suggested including such information in the"guide book"that wil�be prepared for reference by property owners. Viewirag Point With regard to the defmition of"Viewing Point," Ms. Karpeles asked for direction from the Planning Commission as ta what areas to incIude or not include based on the list provided in the staff report. Discussion ensued concerning including stabies as a "viewing point." Fo�lowing discussion, the Planning Commission concurred that stables shou�d not be included and agreed on the language proposed in the staff report. In response to Chairman Chelf with regard to "pre-existing vegetation," Ms. Karpeles commented that she will further research whether ox not having a tree is a police power of the City to protect as a right. Discussian ensued concerning the amount to set for the City's contribution toward arbitration. Ms. Karpeles commented that the amo�xnt wi11 be established by Resolution of the City Counci2 whicl� could be modif ed as necessary and language to that affect can be added to the ardinance. Further discussion ensued cancerning what rde the City will play in paying for and/or selecting the mediator. Following discussion, the Planning Commission concurred not to contrib�xte toward mediation bnt rather pravide the parties with a list of inediators. Discussion ensued concerning the dispute resalution process. Mr. Gill suggested that the provisions on page S of the DRAFT ordinance prepared by Mr. Karpf be included. Ms. I�arpeles commented that the provisions are very similar to the criteria in the draft proposed ordinance under Section i 7.26.050 — Considerations for app�ying tl�e view preservatian ordinance. Discussion ensued concerning adding a provision to tnclude"shade" as a benefit provided by trees. The Planning Commissian concurred that"shade" should be added. Commissioner Cardenas commented that in reviewing his notes from the speakers at tonight's rneeting, it appears that the majority of the issues have been addressed. He noted one additianal comment in the e- mail correspondence received that suggested notifying realtors stating that the matter was previously discussed and it was suggested that a brochure be created to that affect. Restorative Action � Discussion ensued concerning the hierarchy or restarative action which in order of most preferred to least preferred, pmvides for iacing, crown raising, crown reductian, heading back, topping and removal. The Planning Cornmission concurred that topping may be appropriate in some situations given that the species of the free will be taken into considerataon before determining the restorative action.
