Joint Meeting re: Green Areas - City of Rolling Hills
Mayor Nadal asked for an explanation of the "Green Area" desig-
nation, because he was absent from the meeting when Mr. Kinley made his
recommendation that the City Council. consider having a joint meeting
with the Planning Commission and the Board of Directors of the Rolling
Hills Community Association for the purpose of adopting a Master Plan
for the preservation of green areas within the City.
Mr. Fay explained that in order to prevent future building in
canyons of residences and other structures not presently allowed under
the current building regulations, consideration may be given by resi-
dents to deeding portions of their canyon land to the City to be main-
tained as green areas, thereby removing it from the assessment of the
-2-
