A. ZONING CASE NO. 951. Request for Site Plan Review for a new
residential addition of 1,087 square feet,new 410 square foot covered porch, addition to a
raised deck and 300 cubic yards of grading; and Variances to encroach with portions of
the proposed residential acidition and raised deck into the front and side yard setbacks
and to allow the stable and corral set aside area to be located in the front yard setback
and in the front of the leading edge of the residence. The subject property is located at 26
Middleridge Lane South (Lot 248-A-2-UR)Rolling Hills,CA, (Manquen).
Senior Planner Stewart explained the project and stated that the applicants request a variance
to construct several additions to the residence in the side setback, a stable and corral in the
front setback and the front yard area of the lot and a deck addition in the side setback. She
pointed out on the plans the areas of the house where the additions are proposed, including
� the proposed raised roof and the deck addition in the rear. She pointed out the lot lines and
setback lines and stated that the applicant is proposing to set aside an area for future stable and
corral in the front setback of the property. She stated that the lot is irregular in shape and steep
and there is no other area on the lot to place a stable and corral.
All present then walked round the residence to observe the silhouette of the proposed
additions, roof and the deck. In response to Chairman Chelf, Dan Bolton, engineer for the
project, responded that there is adequate walkway around the house for Fire Departrnent
access.
All present then walked to the proposed set aside area for a stable and corral. The
Commissioners concurred that, although the location is in the front setback, it is a desirable
location as there is no other feasible place on the lot for a fixture stable and corral, the location
is not in vicinity of any residences, it is located by a bridal trail and if constructed would
require minimal grading.
There being no further discussion, the public hearing in Zoning Case No. 951 was then
continued to the evening meeting of the Planning Commission beginning at 6:30 pm.
