GRADING ON WILLIAM KESTER PROPERTY, 3 CHUCKWAGON ROAD 1242 "Mayor Crocker opened discussion of grading on the William Kester property, 3 Chuckwagon Road. Members of the Council, with the excep- tion of Councilman Rose, stated that they had visited the site to view tIe ; grading . The City Manager explained that in response to expressions of concern about the grading at the Environmental Quality Board meeting on Julie 20; and after examining the plans for construction on the pro�drty,-`she had ordered work stopped at the site. Later the Manager and City Attorney spoke with Mr. Bruce Lockwood, geologist, in a con- ference"telephone call, and based on his advice, work was resumed. Mr. Lockwood explained that the grading in progress was the key section, and work should continue to ensure stability of the site. After deter- mining tl s.`t`there were no violations, and with the consent of the City Att6ifiey'9°the Manager released the hold on the permit, and work pro- ceed'eii`.'�:. Ms.ybrr{Crocker said that based on the information that Mr. Kester was in c-orhp-l;ian.ce with regulations, and that he had a permit validly issued' -,"'ti e''raork _should continue on the recommendation of the geologist, despite concerns expressed by the community about the steepness of the grading .r CANCELLATION OF PLANNING COMMISSION HEARING 1265 "Notice that the Public Hearing scheduled by the Planning Commis- siort-fd `,RJuiie X30, 1977 to consider a proposed zone change in the Flying Triig� `gond "Flying Triangle Extension would be deferred was receive and" iied.T The Manager explained that the action•was taken in order to acc�i,lish`-"certain boundary adjustments in the area affected, and a new heariAg;,faobu7:d� be• scheduled by the Planning Commission at their meeting on `TnT'ac'ea:dy,. June -29. Further , ' Mrs . Clifton said a hearing on a pro- _ -.p in the Johns Canyon area would be held on June 29 as s cheduled," PROPOSED ,JOINT RESOLUTION OF BOARD AND COUNCIL 1285 In a letter dated June 6, 1977 Mr. Jack Davidson suggested that -2- June 27, 1977 the City Council and Community Association adopt a joint resolution to the principals of the Rolling Hills General Store and Rolling Hills Market expression appreciation for their service to the community. Mrs. Clifton advised the Council that she had discussed the closing of the Rolling Hills Market and General Store with Mr. Paul Lupo., owner of the property, who is a resident of Rolling Hills. Mr. Lupo told Mrs. Clifton that his present plan is to continue to operate the General Store and Post Office and to convert the Market to a school facility, in con- junction with an existing school located in the building. Mayor Crocker said he would be opposed to radical exterior changes, and Mrs. Clifton said.Mro Lupo indicated that there will be minor interior changes, but the exterior will be retained in its present style. Councilman Rose suggested that a letter, rather than a formal reso- lution, be prepared. The Council concurred, and the Mayor asked the City Manager to advise Mr. Epstein, President of the Board of Directors, that the City would be willing to co-sign a letter with the Associations STATE SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT 1311 A letter dated June 15, 1977 from the Department of Health Services, Los Angeles County, requesting that the Council designate the Health Officer as Enforcement Agency to enforce"the State "Minimum Standards for Solid Waste Handling and Disposal" was presented to the Council. The City Attorney explained that the Solid Waste Control Act of 1976 requires that on or before July 1, 1977 a solid waste management Enforcement Agency must be designated for each unit of local government._ Councilman Pernell asked about the cost of the service, and the Manager said the cost is not known at this time. Mayor Crocker said any agreement should include a provision for cancellation by the City with 30 days notice. Following the,discussi_on Councilman Rose moved that the City Council designate'the Department of Health Services of Los Angeles County as Enforcement Agency to enforce the State Minimum Standards for Solid Waste Handling and Disposal for Rolling Hills, with the provision that the agreement can be cancelled without cost to the City on thirty days notice. The motion was seconded by Councilwoman Swanson and carried unanimously. The City Attorney was requested to research the Act and advise the Council whether a provision for cancellation could be included, also whether the City could act as its enforcement agency. Councilman Rose suggested that the City Attorney be authorized to write to the Solid. Waste Management Program Manager and advise that it is the opinion of the Council that since Rolling Hills has no solid waste management facility, the requirement to designate an Enforcement Agency does not apply to the City; further, in the event that such designation is required, the City of Rolling Hills wishes to be designated as its enforcement agency. The Mayor so ordered. DR. SAMUEL KIM, 7 POPPY TRAIL ROAD, RESIDENCE REHABILITATION 1395 Mr. Michael Boland advised the Council that he was present as attorney for Dr. Samuel Kim, 7 Poppy Trail. Mr. Boland explained that Dr. Kim has received County Geology Section's'approval of'his plans to rehabilitate his residence which was damaged as a result of earth move-. ment, and he will obtain the necessary grading and building permits in the near future. Dr. Kim has obtained the consent of Mr. Kewmars Taba- tabay, owner of a vacant lot at 10 Poppy Trail, to temporarily store the soil which must be removed as part of the rehabilitation. After the corrective work is completed, the soil will be returned to the Kim property, and none will be left on the Tabatabay property. The Manager was directed to determine the amount of the bond to IBM L June 27, 1977 be required for the project, and the Mayor asked that the matter be place&on`the-next Council agenda, and that residents of Poppy.Trail be notifie:d.of the meeting. TRACT 31906, ROBERT STANDER, 11 SADDLEBACK ROAD 1452 Mr. Robert Stander,'ll-Saddleback Road, advised the Council that he is in the process of subdividing the property, and that as a condi- tion -n6 --f approval he is required to remove and relocate an existing garage`o­,Since a final decision has not been made by Mr. and Mrs. Stander about whether they will remodel the existing residence and remain there, selling the newly created parcel, or whether they will sell the existing residence after building a new home on the other lot, Mr. Stander has requested permission to post a bond for the project cost of demolishing the existing garage and building a new one. Mr. Stander said that until further decisions are made, he is reluctant to engage an architect to design a new garage. In discussing the matter, Councilman Rose and Mayor Crocker agreed that the cost for a new garage should include the cost of a driveway giving access to the new location. Councilman Rose said any agreement should run with the land, to guarantee that the property will remain in conformance with the zoning ordinance in the event that ownership nf the property does change. Mr. Stander said he cannot project how much time would be needed to determine whether the house will be remodeled for the Standers or whether they will build a new house, and he suggest- ed that a bond remain in effect until one parcel changes ownership, or a minimum of one year. Mayor -Crocker asked Mr. Stander to work with the City Manager and City Attorney to determine the amount of bond required, and directed that the matter be placed on the agenda for further discussion at the next Council meeting. GRADING PROCEDURES ISSUANCE OF BUILDING PERMITS 1547 Mayor Crocker opened.a discussion of what policies the Council should consider in an effort to control grading procedures within the City. In a memorandum dated June 24, 1977 to the Council, the Manager advised that grading more than a 2:1 slope is not permitted unless it is approved by a soils engineer, and she suggested that the approval of the soils engineer be deleted, and all slopes required to be 201. Further, Mrs. Clifton advised that the Board of Directors has asked Mr. Clark Leonard, a civil engineer and former member of the Board of Directors of the Community Association, to review and make recommenda- tions regarding the grading problems, and she said that Mrs. Nicki Field, Chairman of the Architectural Committee, and Mr. Leonard have met to'look at properties in the community for the purpose of those recommendations. The Manager suggested that the City also hire Mr. Leonard to make his recommendations to the City Council, so the ef- fort would be in concert on the entire grading review. Mrs. Clifton said Mr. Leonard's fee is $39.00 per hour. Councilman Rose moved that the Council join with the Borad of Directors to hire Mr. Leonard, and share equally the fee incurred, not to exceed $3,000 for the City's share. The motion was seconded by Councilman Pernell, who also asked that a survey be made of vacant properties remaining in Rolling Hills, and that the inventory be made available ,to Mr. Leonard, the City Council and the Board of Directors. Councilwoman Swanson said she thought it might be premature to hire Mr. Leonard before the Council reviews the remaining properties. She said that she had attended the meeting of the Board at which Mr. -4- June 27, 1977 Leonard was asked to assist, and no formal discussion of a retainer took place; Mr. Leonard was asked to review the matter with Mrs. Field and make a recommendation. Councilman Rose said that extensive gra- ding is being done throughout the City, and it was his opinion that professional advice was needed to control grading on the remaining undeveloped properties. Councilman Pernell said the time element is important, since on going activities would be affected, and he suggest- ed that the Council consider a moratorium on grading. Mayor Crocker said he wished to have Mr. Leonard and Mr. Richard Anderson, Planning Advisor, present at the next meeting of the Council. Further, the Mayor suggested that a 30 day moratorium be placed on all grading in excess of 261, and he moved that the motion be amended to so state. Councilman Pernell moved that the amnedment be made the main motion, and the motion as amended be tabled. Mayor Crocker seconded the motion made by Councilman Pernell, which was carried by the follow- ing roll call vote: AYES: Councilmembers Pernell, Rose, Swanson, Mayor Crocker NOES: None ABSENT: Councilman Heinsheimer The Manager said there are not many lots which would require grading in excess of 2:1, and the majority of lots in the City would not be affected. She explained that the problem is aggravated by the wishes of owners who wish to build very large homes which require extensive grading, often resulting in more than a 2:1 slope. Mayor Crocker clarified the Council's action by stating that a moratorium would be placed on those properties on which there is more that 2:1 slope existing before construction, or which would result from grading in preparation for construction, pending resolution of the matter by the Council. Mrs. Clifton said she would review the architectural files for recently built homes and would determine the extent of gra- ding in excess of 2:1 which was necessary to accommodate the size of the home built. Councilman Rose said that when the Council reviews future sub- divisions, consideration should be given to whether the newly created lots would require grading in excess of specific limits in order to accommodate the residence. Mrs. Clifton explained that in demonstra- ting that a minimum 12,000 square foot building pad is feasible on a new lot, care is given to developing a logical building site. Council- man Rose suggested that a communication be sent to the Board of Directors indicating the Council's interest in cooperating with the Board in re- solving the problem of grading, and stating that the Council is willing to participate financially for the necessary research and review, and asking that the Council be advised at their next meeting the wishes of the Board, so appropriate action can be taken. Mayor Crocker also asked that recommendations of the staff be made at the next Council meeting. Councilman Pernell said the Rolling Hills Community Association building regulations should be reviewed, and the size of an approved residence should be modified to the size and contour of the lot to eliminate extensive grading which results when a large home is approved for a restricted building site. Mr. James Hawthorne, 22 Chuckwagon Road, stated that he is con- cerned about the effect of the grading on Chuckwagon road; further, he is concerned about the health and welfare of residents living on Chuckwagon Road in the event of a moderate earthquake, or a landslide which could follow heavy rains. He said there is a vertical cut on Chuckwagon which is 15 to 25 feet deep, within 8 to 10 feet of the -5- June 27, 1977 road, arid,the residents in the area would be endangered in the event of a disaster of the type he mentioned.' He suggested that the Council halt work in progress as well as future grading until the health and welfare of the residents has been affirmed. Mayor, Crocker explained that work at 3 Chuckwagon Road was resumed on the advice of Mr. Bruce Lockwood, geologist, who advised the'City.Manager and City Attorney that he would not be liable for any damage that occurred as a result of the stop order imposed by the City after the key cut was made. The Manager explained that the matter had been reviewed by the County Engineer,,and she would obtain his opinion in writing for the next Council meeting. Councilwoman Swanson said she called the County Engineer, and he had stated that the grading on Chuckwagon Road was being done properly. Mayor Crocker said the geologist's written plan must be approved by the City's engineering geology section, and in- spections are then made to assure that the work is being done as pro- posed by the geologist; the possibility of failure is remote, and most of the objections presented to the Council are based on esthetics, Ot since the grading being done is not considered consistent with the development of Rolling Hills. Mr. Roy Campbell, 17'Chuckwagon Road, said he shares Mr. Hawthorne's . concern, since Chuckwagon Road is a cul de sac, and in the event of a disaster, including fire, it would be the only way out for many resi- dents. Mayor Crocker agreed that although the end result will be more stable than the original condition, there is a period of jeopardy, and he asked that the geologists' opinions be presented at the next meeting. Mrs. Clifton said she would contact Mr. Lockwood' and the County Engin- eering Geologist and advise them of the concerns expressed. Councilman Pernell said that in view of the undue vulnerability, the advice should be presented as soon as possible, at a special meeting, if necessary. Councilwoman Swanson asked that the record show that the following residents were present at the meeting because of their concern about the grading on Chuckwagon Road. Mr. and Mrs. Roy Campbell, 17 Chuckwagon Rd.; Mr. and Mrs. Sylvan Haenel, 31 Eastfield Drive; Mr. Clifford Richards, 4 Bowie Road and Dr. and Mrs. E. N. Weinand, 1 Bowie Road. -Mr. Clyde Kinzey advised the Council that he recently purchased Lot 2 on Southfield Drive from Filiorum Corporation, and in order to build a home on the pad, he wished to request permission for a 12:1 cut.. Further, Mr. Kinzey stated that the Association regulations concerning how much of a house foundation may show, and a moratorium on grading in excess of 2.1 constitute a hardship for him. Councilman Rose said the Architectural Committee may wish to review their require- ments about the amount of foundation which may show, and Mayor Crocker said another solution in some cases is the stepped down concept of building to contours. Councilman Pernell advised Mr. Kinzey that the Council is sympathetic to his problem, but must also be responsive to concerns expressed about the grading on Chuckwagon Road. Mayor Crocker said the community and the Board of Realtors should be advised of the moratorium imposed by the Council, since it would impact on sales of unimproved property. The Mayor said he thought a 30 day moratorium would be reasonable, to permit the Council to meet with the Board of Directors on the matter. Councilman Pernell said he did not think it would be possible to accumulate enough facts to make a finding in that period of time. Mayor Crocker suggested that anyone who wished to grade in excess of 2.1 should be required to come before the Planning Commission for a variance or conditional use permit. Following the discussion, Councilman Rose moved that the Council communicate with the Board of Directors and indicate that they wish to cooperate with the Board to resolve the problem of grading. The motion was seconded by Councilman Pernell and carried by the following roll call vote. d'e 3 m X64 June 27, 1977 AYES: Councilmembers Pernell, Rose, Swanson, Mayor Crocker NOES: None ABSENT: Councilman Heinsheimer Councilwoman Swanson asked that the record show that no financial commitment was made as part of the motion. Councilwoman Swanson moved that a moratorium on grading in excess of 2:1 be imposed until the next Council meeting, not to exceed a time period of 30 days, and that Mr. Kinley be directed to amend the grading ordinance by deleting the words "unless approved by a soils engineer" from grading requirements. The motion was seconded by Councilman Pernell and carried by the following roll call vote: AYES: Councilmembers Pernell, Rose, Swanson, Mayor Crocker NOES: None ABSENT: Councilman Heinsheimer Councilman Pernell asked that the Council's action be referred to the Planning Commission at their meeting on Wednesday, June 29. Mr. Clifford Richards, 4 Bowie Road, advised the Council that he had attended the meeting because of his concern about the grading on Chuckwagon Road. Dr. E. N. Weinand, 1 Bowie Road, said he appreciated the concern about the grading shown by the Council. REMOVAL OF BARRICADE, MIDDLERIDGE LANE SOUTH 180-2 In a memorandum dated June 24, 1977 to the City Manager, Mr. George Envall, Traffic and Lighting Division of the Los Angeles County Road Department, advised that the barricade on Middleridge Lane South is necessary to divert northbound traffic from hitting the storm drain at that location. Mr. Envall stated that there is a -15% grade north- bound prior to the barricade, and the barricade should be beaded and repainted white in conjunction with the 9 unit reflector. In response to a request by Mr. and Mrs. Charles T. Aylesbury, 2 Middleridge Lane South, the Traffic Commission made a field trip to the site on May 4 and stated that it was their opinion that the guard rail was not necessary, since many locations in the City have similar catch basins without guard rails. At the May 9 City Council meeting Mr. Kinley advised the Council that there was a possibility of liability to the City resulting from removal of the guard rail without concurrence of the Road Department. Subsequently, the Manager requested an inspection by the Road Department. Based on the advice of the City Attorney and the Road Department, the Council directed that the barricade remain. REQUEST FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FOR REMOVING UTILITY POLE 226 In a letter dated June 3, 1977, Dr. Benjamin Chau, owner of property at 7 Buckboard Lane, requested that the Council consider financial assistance for removal of a utility pole on property north of his. At present the pole serves the residence at 1 Buckboard Trail with overhead lines. Dr. Chau advised that the estimate for removal of the pole is X2400, and a more accurate figure will be available after bids are made by contractors. Since Dr. Chau is the sole initiator of the plan, and since 1 Buckboard Trail already has an existing power line, he asked whether additional funds would be available to assist the occupant of 1 Buckboard Trail to place the power lines below ground. &Z I. June 27,r 1977 The -Manager displayed a plot plan for the Chau property, showing the pole on the property north of the lot, and the proposed trench which will furnish underground service to the residence which Dr. Chiu is planning to build. Councilman Rose moved that the Council approve allocation of $500 ,for removal of the pole,..payable upon completion of the project. The motion was seconded by Mayor.Crocker and carried by the following roll call -rote--. AYES- . Councilmembers Pernell, Rose, Swanson, Mayor Crocker NOES: None ABSENT: Councilman Heinsheimer Dr. Chau was advised that the approval is subject to a time limit- orn of one year for removal of the pole. I CC PALOS VERDES.SWITCHBOARD 261 Councilwoman Swanson requested that the Council's allocation of funds to the Switchboard be increassed to $300 for the 1977-78 Fiscal Year.- The sum of $250 was allocated in 1976-77. Councilman Rose moved that the Council allocate $300 to the Palos Verdes Switchboard. The motion was seconded by Councilwoman Swanson and carried by the following roll call vote: r AYES- Councilmembers Pernell, Rose, Swanson, Mayor Crocker NOES- None ABSENT: Councilman Heinsheimer RESOLUTION NO. 385 Councilman Rose moved that Resolution No. 385 entitled A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROLLING HILLS INCREASING FEES TO BE PAID BY AN APPLICANT FOR RECLASSIFICATION, AMENDMENT, ZONING CHANGE, VARIANCE, CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT, OR FOR ANY OTHER RELIEF PROVIDED BY ORDINANCE NO. 33 be adopted, and that reading in full be waived.

The motion was seconded by Councilman Rose and carried by the following roll call vote: CV Y-1 3 o b June 27, 1977 AYES- Councilmembers Pernell, Rose, Swanson, Mayor Crocker NOES- None ABSENT- Councilman Heinsheimer PROCEDURES ON APPEAL FROM PLANNING COMMISSION DECISIONS 277 The City Attorney distributed copies of a proposed resolution of the City Council establishing rules of appeal under Ordinance No.33, the Zoning Ordinance. Mr. Kinley said recommendations made by Council- man Rose were incorporated into the proposed resolution which was given to the Council at the last meeting, and the meaning of specific sections was clarified. Following discussion of the procedures contained in the proposed resolution, the Mayor asked for a straw vote of the Council as to whether or not a person who has signed a petition is entitled to comment on the evidence at a hearing on appeal. Councilmembers Pernell and Swanson said they would be in favor of comment from a petitioner; Councilman Rose said he would be opposed. In discussing the right to rebuttal, the City Attorney advised the Council that the procedure would not be an adversary hearing, but would be an application by a resident for reversal of a decision previously made by the Planning Commission. Further, Mr. Kinley said that after hearing the appeal from the applicant, and after receiving testimony from residents in opposition to or in favor of the matter presented according to the rules for the procedure, the Chairman could determine whether or not to receive rebuttal from the applicant. Mayor Crocker suggested that any member of the Council could appeal the decision of the Chair regarding rebuttal, and three members of the Council could determine whether or not to permit rebuttal. Mayor Crocker asked for a straw vote of the Council on whether rebuttal should be approved by a majority of the Council acting as the Board of Appeals. Councilman Rose said he considered rebuttal a matter of right; Councilman Pernell said it would, in his opinion, be a matter of consensus, depending on how the hearing was going. Councilwoman Swanson and Mayor Crocker said they thought the matter should be decided at the time by three members of the Council. Mayor Crocker said he wished to propose that any decision of the Planning Commission may be reviewed by the Council and may be appealed on petition of two members of the Council. The Mayor ordered the proposed resolution held on the agenda for further consideration at the next meeting. ADVANCED ELECTRONICS 545 The Manager presented a letter dated June 24, 1977 from Advanced Electronics. Mr. Bob Mohr advised that there have been many recent power outages which have affected the Rolling Hills radio communica- tion system, and the problem is in an underground cable on the U. S. Government property adjacent to the City's boundaries. Mr. Mohr requested permission to install an overhead power line from an existing pole on Crest Road to a proposed pole to be located on the Government property as shown on a diagram enclosed with the letter. Mayor Crocker asked members of the Council to view the site and he ordered discussion of the matter placed on the agenda for the next Council meeting. 367 June 27,_1977 TRASH BINS Councilwoman Swanson requested that the Council communicate with the Board of Directors to discuss the size and color of trash and manure bins which will be provided under the new rubbish franchise. The Manager reported that the Board of Directors plans to review the esthetics of bins, particularly the color and locations. Councilwoman Swanson was authorized to bring the matter before the Board at their next meeting. SALE OF DMV RECORDS 572 Councilwoman Swanson said that Assemblywoman Marilyn Ryan has introduced a bill which would attempt to regulate sale of Department of Motor Vehicle records, and she asked that the Council write a letter in support of the effort.
