ANDREW SHAW, 3 HILLSIDE LANE, CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL, TRACT 29543
Mrs. Clifton reported that Mr. Andrew Shaw requested that his
scheduled appearance before the Council for clarification of conditions
of approval for Tract 29543 be removed from the agenda. Mayor pro tem
Pernell so ordered.
FINAL MAP, TRACT 30345, DR. J. GREENHUT, BLACKWATER CANYON ROAD 820
Copies of a letter dated November 18, 1977 from the Department of
County Engineer recommending that the City Council_ approve the final
map for Tract 30345 and setting forth certain conditions were distribu-
ted to the Council. The Manager reported that copies of all documents
submitted in connection with the final approval had been forwarded to
the City Attorney for review and approvals
Mr. Kinley advised the Council that he had discussed the documents
with Mr. Roger Meurer, Dr. Greenhut's engineer, and had requested cer-
tain clarifications in the Road Department's agreement; specifically,
that the document be amended regarding the nature of funds on deposit
with the City to guarantee completion of required improvements, since
the agreement states that a bond had been posted, when in fact cash
was deposited in a savings account assigned to the City. Councilwoman
Swanson asked whether the money deposited was sufficient to cover the
necessary improvements. The Manager said the account had just been
up -dated and money in excess of the cost was on deposit, since the
City required 100% of the estimated cost of labor and materials, and
an additional 50% for faithful performance. Dr. Greenhut stated that
he had deposited $64,000 with the City for completion of improvements
required as a condition of approval, Mr.. Kinley said he would recommend
that the last page of the road agreement be rewritten to correct the
form of deposit, and that a letter signed by Mary Beatrice Morris,
owner of a portion of Lot 100-RH, consenting to construction of Appa-
loosa Lane as shown on the street plan for Tract 303.45, which falls
within her property, be verified with regard to form and signature.
Mr. Kinley read the letter from the City Engineer into the record and
said he would concur with the recommendation that the final map be ap-
proved and the original linen signed by the City Clerk when the recom-
mended changes and clarifications had been made.
Councilman Rose moved that the final map for Tract 30345 be approved,
subject to the findings of the City Attorney, and that the City Clerk
be authorized to sign the linen original when recommended amendments
to the agreements have been made. The motion was seconded by Councilman
Heinsheimer and carried by the following roll call vote:

TENTATIVE TRACT 33248, KREDEL-HATHAWAY, 8 BLACKWATER CANYON ROAD 936
Mayor pro tem Pernell opened discussion of Tentative Tract 33248
which was held on the agenda to enable the City Council members to make
a second field trip in connection with development of an emergency access
between Upper and Lower Blackwater Canyon Roads, and a.decision on the
best location for the road.
Councilman Rose said that after viewing the property, it was his
opinion that if the existing roadway, which is on the property, were
smoothed and improved with a gravel or other all-weather surface, and
M= if shrubs were trimmed, a satisfactory level emergency road would result;
if the road were moved into the easement it would be steeper and less
satisfactory, although it would protect the privacy of the owner. Mr.
Doug McHattie, South Bay Engineering, advised the Council that Dr. and
Mrs. Ishak plan to purchase the property on December 1, and they would.
prefer to have the road developed in the easement.
Mr. Forrest Riegel, Chairman of the Planning Commission, advised
the Council that the tentative map approved by the Planning Commission
did not show the road, and was approved without the requirement that
the road be improved or moved, and it was his opinion that if presented
with the plan, the Planning Commission would not have required an ad-
ditional road which would encourage traffic between Upper and Lower
Blackwater.
Councilman Heinsheimer said the Council is discussing a requirement
for a road for emergency use only, not a road to be used for general
traffic, and it is important that the road not be driven on regularly.
Councilman Rose said there should be a road for emergencies, and Council-
woman Swanson said an emergency road would protect the owner of the pro-
perty. It was her opinion that the question before the Council should
be the location of the emergency road,.not whether there should be such a
road, Councilwoman Swanson said. The Manager said that in this subdi-
vision and in the Hix and Sharffenberger subdivisions on Buggy Whip Drive
and Middleridge Road, the Fire Department required development of an
emergency road connecting the two. She said it was demonstrated in the
1973 fire that roads become clogged quickly in an emergency, and the
Fire Department considers it imperative that emergency roads be developed
where possible to connect cul de sacs and provide alternate access from
the Crest Road area in an emergency.
Mrs. Patricia Hathaway said there is no actual road, and the entire
property had been disced as required by the Fire Department, but a new
road has been made by people cutting through the property, although she
asked residents in the area not to use the road. Mrs. Hathaway said
the resident at 5 Blackwater Canyon Road hada break in his water line
and the main is located near the cul de sac on Upper Blackwater Canyon
Road, so the property owner made many trips to the main in connection
with repair work, and the road was again cut through the property, and
is presently accessible to cars and fire equipment.
Mr. William Davisson, 7 Blackwater Canvon Road, said the road is
,used by cars and motorcycles, and repeated -damage to the water line
serving the House residence at 5 Blackwater Canyon Road was a result of
cars and trucks using the road, which has insufficient bedding. Further,
Mr. Davisson said there has been erosion during heavy rains, when water
flowed through the tracks left by cars using the road, and he requested
-3-

November 28, 1977
that the City require improvement of the road, since it is being used.
Dr. Ishak said he thinks the road will be a nuisance, and he feels that
the existing road through the property infringes. on the privacy of the
resident. If a road is required, Dr. Ishak requested that it be devel-
oped in the easement, not through the property.
Councilman Heinsheimer said the proposed subdivision will not
radically change the population in the area, singe only one additional
site would be developed, and would be served from Upper Blackwater
Canyon Roado,Mayor pro tem Pernell read the following conditions of
approval from the Planning Advisor's Report dated June 14, 1977:
PLANNING, #17. If Blackwater Canyon Road is not constructed as a
through street, then provide a second means of access to the subject
property._ CITY FIRE CHEIF, #27. Comments: Provide second access to
lots. Mr. McHattie said he attended the Subdivision Committee's
meeting when the report was prepared, and the comments regarding the
second access were recommendations only, since the Fire Department
can currently use the road.
Chairman Riegel said the Planning Commission has been concerned
about the approval by the City Council of maps which differ from the
maps approved by the Planning Commission. Councilman Heinsheimer said
'he thought the Planning Commission should be given an opportunity to
review the matter and to see the maps submitted to the Council, since
they were different from the map approved by the Planning Commission,
and he so moved. The motion was seconded by Councilwoman Swanson and
carried by the following roll call vote: _

RIDING RING, LOT 7, TRACT 29383, CLIFTON HIX 1206
The Manager reported that Mr. E. L. Pearson visited the site of
property given to the City by Mr. and Mrs. Clifton Hix for development
of a riding ring, and he recommended that a 12 inch corrugated metal
pipe be installed on the south of the ring with an inlet to divert
water to the natural drainage course into the canyon to drain the ring.
Mrs. Clifton said Mr. Frank Jelsma, President of Caballeros, will make
a presentation for development of the ring later in the meeting, and
if the proposed project is accepted and approved by the Council, the
work could be included in the total ring development,
Councilwoman Swanson said she is still concerned about the fact
that the grading on the property was done without permit or inspection
and she felt that the problem should be resolved, Mrs. Clifton said
Mr. Pearson had indicated to the Council at the field trip that he felt
that Mr. Bruce Lockwood's opinion' stated'in'a-16tter" dated July 13,-1977
to Mr. William Smith, Rolling Hills Company, could be relied one Mayor
pro tem Pernell, Councilmen Heinsheimer and Rose said they would be
willing to accept Mr. Pearson's opinion in the matter; Councilwoman
Swanson said she would also, but still wished the record to reflect her
concern that the grading was done without permit or inspection, to
avoid similar errors in the futures
Mayor pro tem Pernell ordered the matter held on the agenda for
further consideration in connection.with the presentation of Caballeros'
proposal for development of a riding ring on the site.

DRAINAGE PROBLEM,.DR. SAM WOLINSKY, 8 REATA LANE. 1270.
The Manager reported that she and Mr. Ron McAlpin of South Bay
Engineering Corporation had gone to the office of the Los Angeles
County Flood Control District to discuss the drainage problem on the
Wolinsky property at 8 Reata Lane., and they were prepared to report
to the Council. The City Attorney recommended that the Council adjourn
to Executive Session, and he explained to those in attendance at the
meeting that his recommendation was made because Dr. Wolinsky and his
attorney have attended most of the Council meetings at which the matter
was discussed, and the City Attorney received a letter from Dr. Wolinsky's
attorney in which he threatened to bring suit against the City if the
matter was not settled to his client's satisfaction; therefore Mr. Kinley
recommended that the Council receive Mre McAlpin's report in Executive
Session so that they could consider what could be done to attempt to
reach a satisfactory settlement prior to disclosing it to the public.
Following a decision by the Council, the contents of Mr. McAlpin's report
would be made public, Mr. Kinley said.

DRAINAGE PROBLEM, DRa SAM WOLINSKY 1305
The Mayor pro tem reconvened the meeting and announced that after
hearing the report of the engineer, members of the Council requested the
City Attorney to advise them regarding certain rights of the City. Mr,
Kinley advised the Council that he would need time to research the matter
and prepare a report, and the matter has been held on the agenda. Mayor
pro tem Pernell said the contents of the engineer's report with respect
to where the water is coming from, and some of the solutions proposed, is
public information.
Councilman Heinsheiemr suggested that in the future, Executive
Sessions be scheduled before the meeting, to avoid recess during the
meeting. The Mayor pro tem announced that the next regular meeting of
the Council on December 12, 19.77 will start at 8:00 P.M.,. with an Execu-
tive Session at 7:30 P.M., and he asked that residents be so advised in
the Newsletter.
DEVELOPMENT OF RIDING RING ON BUGGY WHIP DRIVE 1325
Mr. Frank Jelsma, President of Caballeros, submitted a proposal
for development of a riding ring on property on Buggy Whip Drive which
was given to the City by Mr. and Mrs. Hix. He said it is Caballeros
wish to have a ring with a dirt and decomposed granite surface, built
of telephone poles, which would cut down on vandalism and maintenance,
which Mr. Jelsma said are the two major problems at present. Mr. Jelsma
said the estimated cost for the ring as proposed would beapproximately
$1900, sand or decomposed granite would cost approximately $3200, and
the total cost of the ring would be approximately $5100. The cost of
building a white three rail ring similar to.the one at the Gap could
amount to $7300, Mr. Jelsma said, and after thoroughly researching all
types of riding rings he said it is his opinion that if approved by the
Architectural Committee, the telephone poles.topped with a single rail
would be most appropriate for the rural area in which it will be built.
Mr. Jelsma said he hopes that the expenses will not exceed $5500, sub-
ject -to approval by the Community Association, and.since Caballeros has.
funds available, he suggested that they pay the bills and submit the
paid bills to the City for reimbursement.
Councilman Heinsheimer moved that the City Council approve an expen-
diture not to exceed $5500 from the Equestrian portion of the Recreation
Fund for construction of a telephone pole ring as presented by Mr. Jelsma,

The City Manager asked that the bills be presented directly to the
City for payment, since the construction will be on City property, and
bonds have been posted to guarantee faithful performance of required
improvements, Mt. Jelsma said Caballeros would be agreeable to handle
it either way, and the Council agreed to the Manager's request. Further.,
the Council agreed that if any changes were made by the Architectural
Committee which would increase the cost, the plan must be resubmitted
to the Council for additional review and approval.
REQUIREMENTS FOR BRIDLE TRAIL ON BLACKWATER CANYON ROAD, TRACT 32256 1450
Councilwoman Swanson moved that the Council reconsider its action
on November 14, 1977 with regard to approval of plans submitted by Mr.
Roger Meurer for development of a trail on Blackwater Canyon Road which
was required as a condition of subdivision of his property at 9 Black-
water Canyon Road, Tract 32256. Councilwoman Swanson said she had been
contacted by members of the Planning Commission who were concerned about
the approval, since it was not in keeping with the conditions imposed by
the Planning Commission, and she thought the matter should be reopened
if there was a misrepresentation by the subdivider to the Council. The
motion to reconsider was seconded by Councilman Heinsheimer and carried
by the following roll call vote:
AYES: Councilmembers Heinsheimer, Rose, Swanson
Mayor pro tem Pernell
NOES.: None
ABSENT: Mayor Crocker
Mr. Forrest Riegel advised the Council that the Planning Commission
was told by Mr. Meurer that Mr. John Farrow, owner of property at 12
Blackwater Canyon Road, had given verbal permission for grading on his
side of the road for development of a bridle trail as a condition of
approval of Tract 32256, and approval of the tentative map by the Plan-
ning Commission was based, in part, on Mr. Muerer's assurance that the
bridle trail would be developed on Blackwater Canyon Road across from
his property, since there is not sufficient room for a trail in front
of the Meurer property, Subsequently Mr. Meurer advised the City Coun-
cil that he was unable to obtain Mr. Furrow's permission to grade the
trail on his side of the road, and he submitted two plans for the pro-
posed trail to the Council: Exhibit A showing 1:1 maximum and variable
slopes and Exhibit B, showing 2:1 slopes. Because Plan B would encroach
considerably on the Farrow property, the Council had approved Exhibit B
in all areas except the Farrow property, and directed that Exhibit A be
followed in that area. Mr. Riegel said the Planning Commission might
have voted differently if they were aware that Mr. Farrow had not agreed
to grading for the trail.

Farrow advised the Council that he had signed the modification
for Mr. Meurer, but was not approached by him on the matter
easements or permission to grade on his side of the road or
property. Mr. Farrow said the first information he had on the
was published in the agenda to all Rolling Hills residents in
We
November. 28, 1977
the Newsletter. Further, Mr. Farrow said there are large eucalyptus
trees in front of his property,. and Mr. Meurer advised him that it
would be.neces-sary to remove the trees and cut into the bank to devel-
op a trail, which was required as a condition of approval of the -tract.
Councilman Heinsheimer said it appears that,the.owner represented to
the Planning Commission that the trail would b.e put in with,Mr. Farrow's
approval.. Councilman Pernell asked the'City Attorney whetherthe Coun-
cil could insist that conditions be met if a tentative map was approved
based on certain conditions.. Mr. Kinley said that,.in.this case both
the trail and the trees would be in the road easement in front -of Mr.
Farrow's home.. Mr. Riegel said the location.of the trail across from
the property being subdivided was approved at,the request:of'the,'sub'di-
vider..
Following the discussion Councilman Rose. -moved that the motion of
approval of Exhibit A and Exhibit B, made, seconded and carried at the
meeting of November 14, 1977 be tablid'ania that'l he matter-bezhel:d for
review and a recommendation' on' the 'matter by".the e.Plarining,�Commission'. The
CC motion was.seconded by Councilman Heinsheimer and carried by the follow-
ing roll call vote:
AYES: Councilmembers Heinsheimer, Rose, Swanson
Mayor pro tem Pernell
NOES: None
ABSENT:. Mayor Crocker
Councilman Rose suggested that the matter be referred to the
Planning Commission for resolution of the matter of trail development.
Councilman Heinsheimer asked the City Attorney to give an opinion on
the suggestion that the matter be referred to the Planning Commission. -
Mr. Kinley said the Council should resolve such questions and make
decisions without referring the matter back to the Commission. The
Planning Commission imposes certain conditions as part of their approval,
and if those. conditions are not met, the Council need take no further
action, and the final map can be held until all conditions of'approval
are met. Councilman Rose said that in appearing before the Council and
submitting two plans, Mr. Meurer asked the Council to waive the condi-
tions for a trail imposed by the Planning Commission, and it was his
opinion that the matter should be referred to the Planning Commission
for review and comment; Mayor pro tem Pernell said he agreed. Council—
woman Swanson asked whether the Planning Commission could request new
plans, since they no longer have jurisdiction. Mr. Kinley said they
can request new plans if the matter was referred to them by the City
Council. Councilman Heinsheimer said it is evident that the.Planning
Commission based their approval of the tentative map on their.under-
standing that the trail would be developed.
Councilman Rose moved that Mr. Meurer's request for a waiver
from conditions imposed by the Planning Commission for development of
a trail be referred to the Planning Commission for review and a recom-
mendation. The motion was seconded by Councilwoman Swanson and carried
by the following roll call vote:
AYES:. Councilmembers Heinsheimer,.Rose, Swanson

PARKING REGULATIONS IN ROLLING HILLS 80-1(3),
Councilwoman Swanson said she had requested ,that parking regulations
in Rolling Hills be scheduled for discussion by the Council because of
recent problems with, parking on trail -easements becafise ,of lack of other
parking areas, particularly when large groups are being entertained,
causing traffic problems and safety hazards. Councilwoman Swanson sug-
gested that the matter be referred to the Traffic Commission for study
and recommendations.
Mrs. Patricia Meyer, 51 Eastfield Drive, addressed the Council and
said she wished to go on record as requesting that legal parking areas
be designated in heavy traffic areas, particularly along Eastfield Drive,
as well as in other areas of the City. One side of Eastfield Drive was
cleared to develop a foot path, and the area is often used for parking,
but there is a need for similar provisions in other areas, Mrs. Meyer said.
The Manager said that people who are expecting large numbers of
guests at their homes are requested to notify the office so that passes
can be issued and arrangements for parking can be made through the
Rolling Hills Community Association.
The Mayor pro tem thanked Mrs. Meyer for her presentation and said
the matter would be referred to the Traffic Commission.
POLE INSTALLATION ON EASTFIELD DRIVE
159
Mrs. Clifton distributed area maps marked to show the Kenneth
Leeuwenburgh property at 12 Eastfield Drive and the David Gauvreau
property at 2 Roundup Road. The Manager explained that the Leeuwenburghs!
are doing an extensive renovation of their home, and are required to
convert to underground utilities. In order to continue to serve the
Gauvreau residence which is currently served from a pole on the Leeuwen-
burgh property, the Manager said it would be necessary to have a new
power pole installed between the two properties.
Councilman Rose said he wished to visit the location before voting
to approve a new pole installation. Mayor pro tem Pernell said that in
order to avoid undue delay for the Leeurwnburgs, he would adjourn the
meeting to 9000 A.M. Saturday, December 3,.1977 on the Leeuwenburgh
property at 12 Eastfield Drive. Mrs. Clifton said the property would
be staked to show the location for the new pole.
