GEOLOGY REPORT UPDATE 575
The Manager advised the Council that two copies of the draft
Geology Report were received in the city, and that residents of the
Flying Triangle were advised in a memo from the Mayor that the report
could be reviewed at the Administration Office. Mrs. Clifton said
the final report , including recommendations for proposed solutions,
will be presented within the coming week.
Mayor Heinsheime.r said he had contacted Dr. Bray, president of
the Board of Directors, and had also attended the last Board meeting.
The Mayor said he advised the Board tha:t , although the report was
preliminary, the recommendations for corrective measures and the
cost estimates would not change substantially in the final report ,
and he urged that the Board consider the recommendations and make
a decision which could be announced at the Annual Meeting of the
Community Association, or at least make some plans for action based
on the information presented in the report . The Mayor said he ad-
vised the Board that the cost information is an estimate by the
County Engineer and is not a firm bid or final figure. Mayor
Heinsheimer asked Mr. Stevenson, Association Manager, to speak to
the matter.
Mr. Stevenson reported that the preliminary report and the
preliminary figures were considered by the Board, and no conclusion
was reached as to the action to be taken. Mr. Stevenson said it is
his understanding that the matter will be discussed at the Annual
Meeting on. January 21 , and after analyzing the recommendations far
corrective action, the Board will consider how much money is needed,
how it can be raised, and a report will be made to the City as soon
as possible. Mayor Heinsheimer said it should be understood that
with regard to responsibility, the City is providing the report and
all technical information, and the Community Association is to make
a determination of what decision to make with regard to repair and
prevention , and report their decision to the City. Mr. Stevenson
said that dependent on the avenues available, it may require a joint
effort between the agencies, the City and Association. Mr. Steven- -
son said the Board will not meet again before the Annual Meeting,
and the next regular meeting will be on February 5. The �Iayor said �
residents who �have read the report should contact the Bcrard if they
feel it is necessary to have a special meeting to discuss information
contained in the report . Mayor Heinsheimer asked Mr. Stevenson to
relate to the Board that on behalf of the City Council he wished to
state that he and members of the Council will a.ssist in every way pos-
sible prior to or at the Annual Meeting, to support the Board' s pre- '
sentation.
Mrs. Clifton reported that she had a general meeting in her
office on January 12 , attended by b4r. Art Keene, County Engineering
Geologist ; Mr. Marvin Lowe, Regional Engineer ; Mr. Ken Harvey,
Drainage Engineer, and Mr. Ivan Bullum, District Engineer, to
discuss drainage and recommendations for sewers in the Flying
Triangle. Mrs. Clifton said Prlr . Keene told her it was his opinion
that the cost figures for corrective measures as presented in the
report were on the high side, and they discussed having the proposed
solution reviewed by a commercial firm �vith regard to. installation
of shear pins, placement , and how long it would take .
Mayor Heinsheimer said that based on the statement that the
figures were high , if the figures in the County report were used
-2-
January 12 , 1981

for planning purposes, it should be sufficient to .cover� �the necessary
repairs, if the Association wishes to consider a multi-year loan.
Councilman Pernell asked that the proposed corrective measures and
costs be exposed, and the P,4anager read from the report the estimated
cost of shear pin installation as follows : l . l safety factor, which
would barely stop the slide, 9 rows of shear pins ins.talled along .
th� road, $1 . 305 million; 1. 25 safety factor, which, would stabilize
t:;F area to a point where future development would require addition-
al stabilization or a landslide waiver, 13 rows of shear pins, $2. T67
million ; 1 . 5 safety fact.or, which would allow for future developmen.t
with no additional stabilization or waivers, 22 rows of shear pins,,
$4. 9 million. In addition , an engineering design cost of $100,000 -
$200, 000 should be added. Mayor Heinsheimer said that for purposes
of planning, if the Association decided on minimum corrective measures
to stop the slide, which would cost approximately $1 .5 million , and
if the residents of the Flying Triangle paid �a disproportionate sha.re,.
such as 20% or $300, 000, the balance of $1 . 2 million divided among
the 600 families would amount to approximately $2 ,000 per family,
which, spread over 3 - 4 years , would be roughly $500 -$600 - $700
� per family per year in the unaffected areas. Tf at a later date it
was considered desireable to increase the stability factor, another
(� plan could be worked out among the people who wish to develop in
� the area. The Manager said the County seems incTined to discourage
a the l . l safety factor, which .is the bare .min�mum. Mayor Heinsheimer
said it was his opinion that an effort should be made to at least
a attain that minimum factor before heavy rains occur. Councilman
a Pernell asked whether the safety factor could be achieved in incre.-
ments, so that aft'er minimum stabili�y is achieveci, additional
safety could be achieved by addition of more shear pins. Mrs.
Clifton said she would discuss that with the. County Geologist .
Mayor Heinsheimer ordered the matter held on the agenda for
additional information from the Community Associat.ion.
TENTATIVE TRACT 37810, EMMANUEL DAVID, 38 CREST ROAD EAST 676
Mayor Heinsheimer opened disucssion of Tentative Tract 37810,
which was held on the agenda for additional information regarding
drainage. The Manager reported that she and Councilwoman, Swanson
had discussed drainage and other matters relevant to the subdivision �
with Mr. McHattie. �
Counci.lv�oman Swanson said she would like to see a plan �or the
proposed dra 'inage, and asked that it be submitted for the next meeting
with a statement about the intent to fence the trail as required and
to install underground utilities. D4r. McHattie said those matters
are included in the conditions of approval, which were discussed at
an earlier meeting of the Council . He said Mr. David plans to meet
the conditions immediately, rather than bond to guarantee completion
of the requirements, and he asked that tre Council vote on the map..
Mr. b�cHattie said he can solve the drainage problem with large rocks
and boulders lining the outside of the drainage channel, and he said
further that aerial photos .will be necessary to develop the plan.
The engineer said he has met with members of Caballeros regarding
the trail , and. since he_ has agreed that all requirements will be met,
he asked that the subdivision not be delayed for the drainage plan.
Mr. Kinley advised the Council that the conditons of approval dis-`
cussed previously must be met before the final map can be approved,
and the tentative map could be approved subject to completion of the
conditions of approval .
Councilwoman Swanson moved that the tentative map for Tract 37810
be approved subject to conditions of apProval discussed by the Council
at the meeting ori December 8, 1980, specifically with regard to drain-
age, undergrounding of utilities , removal of poles , and fencing of the
trail . The motion was seconded by Councilman Pernell and carried by
the following roll call vote:

H�ARING ON APPEAL, ZONING CASE NO. 260, JOSEPH P. LADETIAN, LOT 9-2-RH 760
1�Iayar Heinsheimer operied a hearing on an appeal filed by Dr, and
Mrs. Roberto Unguez, 48 Saddleback Road', on the decision of the Planning
Commission on December 9, 1980, approving variances of front and rear
yard setback requirements for Lot 9-2-RH, located at 52 Saddleback Road
and owned by Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Lademan . The Mayor said the appeal
was filed because of concern that construction of a residence on the
Lademan lot would cause damage to the Unguez residence since there is
a geology problem in the area and the access road to the Lademan pro-
perty, which is an easement across the Unguez property, shows signs
of failure. Mr . Kinley advised that the Council is sitting as a Board
of Adjustment Appeal . .
Dr. Unguez advised the Mayor that Mr. Bruce Lockwood would be
present at the meeting to discuss the matter; the ll4anager said Mr.
Lockwood, who had done the original geology on the property, had
spoken to her regarding the matter, and said he would be present ;
ll�r . Lademan said he had talked with Mr. Lockwood a few hours before
the meeting and told Mr, Lockwood it would not be necessary for him
to attend. The meeting was recessed while a phone call was made to
Mr. Lockwooci to determine whether he would be at the meeting.
APPOINTMENT OF TRAFFIC COMMI'SSIONER 791
Councilwoman Swanson said the notice of a vacancy on the Traffic
Commission was in the most recent Newsletter, and she asked that the
matter be held on the agenda to give residents an oppo-rtunity to ex-
press interest in the appointment and submit a resume. The b�ayor so
ordered.
� EXTENSION OF `9ATER SYSTEM AGREEMENT, TRACT NO. 30345, GREENHUT 799
In a letter dated December 12 , 1980 the City Engineer advised _
the Counczl that the contract between Dr. Jerry Greenhut , subdivider
of Tract 30345 and the City of Rolling Hills for construction of a
water system in conjunction with the division of land expired on
December 1 , 1980. Since the subdivider has arranged to complete the
improvement and has deposited additional cash deposit to provide suf-
ficient security, the Engineer recommended that the Council approve
the cash deposit increasing the faithful performance amount and the
labor and materials amount , and extend the agreement submitted with
the cash deposit until December 1 , 1981 .
The City Manager advised the Council that the deposit of addi=
tional cash for completion of the wat�r system has been verified.
Mr. Kinley said the original agreement should be amended. to indicate
that an additional deposit of $6,000 has been made and the time has
been extended.
Councilman Rose moved that the Council approve the extension of
the water system agreement for Tract 30345, subject to amendment of
the agreement by the City Attorney. The motion was seconded by Council-
man Pernell and carried by the following roll call vote :

ANTENNA AND TRANSM�TTER SITE - SOUTH GATE 885
Mayor Neinsheimer opened discussion of the antenna and transmitter
site located in the South Gate area of the City, and he explained th�at
he wished to focus the discussion on the safety of the portion of the
(� antenna site located within the Gity of Rolling Hills. The Mayor said
(� the City Attorney was rEc�uested to research the sequence of events in
� connection with issuance of the permit , and in a memorandum opinion
Q dated January l2 , 1981 , Mr . Kinley advised that in his opinion the fact
a � . that the Environmental Impact Report negative declaration was issued
after the building permit had been issued would not have any effect
Q on the validity of the building permit which was issued for �construction
of the communications buildi.ng. Mayor Heinsheimer invited discussion
focusing on safety of the ins�allation and whether additional safety
modifications should be made.
Councilwoman Swanson said she was absent from the meeting at
which the matter was discussed in December, and she asked why the
Mayor wished to focus the discussion on safety of the installation.
Mayor Heinsheimer explained that the construction accommodates equip-
ment used in connection with a franchise agreement between Advanced
Electronics and the Community Association, and that matters of aes-
thetics are properly brought before the Associat�on. Since the
concerns expressed by Mr. tiVilliam King, 92 Crest Road East , pertain
�- to the safety of the installation in relation to the location of his
property, the Mayor said the Council would focus the discussion on
safety, which �s within the jurisdiction of the City. In response
to Mr. King' s coneern corrective action to increase the safety o�
the installation . has been planned, and the Mayor " said it is now
incumbent upon the Council to approve or disapprove the plans for
the corrective action. designed to increase the safety, and not try
to determine whether or not the installation should be permitted to
. remain. in the present location . Councilwoman Swanson asked that the
discussion not be limited to safety, and that members of the Council
be permitted to discuss other aspects of the installation. Mayor
Heinsheimer said other matters were discussed previously at length,
and unless the Council wished to overrule the Chair , he wished to
proceed with a discussion focusing on safety, and whether or not
additional construction to increase the safety should be approved.
Councilwoman Swanson moved that any member of the Council be
permitted to discuss any matter pertaining to the installation that
is within the City' s jurisdiction. The motion died for lack of a
second, and the Mayor directed that the discussion would be . confined
� to whether recommendations for safety are appropriate and should be
approved.
Mrs. Patricia Hathaway, 19 �1'ideloop Drive, said she had. been
under the impression that all communications equipment in the area
was on Government property, and she said she was not notified of
the public hearing on the Conditional Use Permit , although she
felt her prope�ty was within the required 500 ' . The Manager ad-
vised Mrs. Hathaway that it appeared that her property is slightly
more than 500' from the installation . Mayor Heinsheimer explained
that there are two installations, and the one being discussed is
within the Rolling Hills City limits , in an Association easement .
-5- �

January 12 , 1981
Mrs . Hatha�vay said her television reception is poor, and there is
. a lot of commercial in�erference with the recepi:ion. Councilwoman
S�vanson said she has received similar complaints.-from residents in
the area, and sYie thought the commercial aspect of the installation
should be considered. Counciiman Pernell said that although it is a
commercial instaliation, the public sectors being served should be
considered, and he read from the list supplied by Advanced Electronics.
Mayor Heinsheimer asked Mr. King whether he had received the
Safety Analysis. Mr. King said he received a plan f�om Gouvis Engin-
eering and has had the plan reviewed. He said that if the substantial
changes that are anticipated are made it is his opinion that the poles
would be safe.
Mrs. Clifton posted the drawings showing the as-built configuration
and the proposed additions , consisting of crossbars to be added to the
tower for added stability. In response to questions from Councilman Rose
the Manager explained that the str.ucture in the City consists of one
3-pole tower with antenna dishes, and she sho�ved the proposed crossbars
and steel tension rods proposed to be added. Mr. Kinley said the poles
are 75 ' high; ��r. �iohr ;said 10' are in the ground and 65 ` project abave
- ground level. Mr. King -said five additional cross bars will be added
to each side of the triangular structure , so there will be a total of
fifteen additional crossbars` on the structure, with 1" extruded steel
cable in three locations on each side, a total of nine installations
of steel cable , and a concrete base which will project about 33" above
ground level. _ „
Pdr. King said he wished to state for the record that review of
the file in�icates that the first thing issued was a Negative Declara-
tion , the second thing issued was a Conditional Use Permit , and he
stated that the building permit for the building which had already
been constructed was issued in November 1979, after he purchased his
home. hir. King said there is. no building permit for the antenna tower.
Mr. King read into the record the first condition of the Conditional
Use Permit as follows : "That this Conditional Use Permit shall not
be effective for any purpose until the operator of the facility or
his duly authorized representative has filed with the City Clerk of .
the City of Lomita his affidavit stating that he is aware of, and
accepts, all the conditions of the Permit . " and he said this has not
' been done. Mr. King said the changes anticipated are substantial ,
and constitute a major impact on the environment . Of the seven
entities which use the pole, Mr. King said six are commercial, and
the only non-commercial use is by the City of Rolling Hills. Mr.
King said that at the Board of Directors meeting on January 8, 1981 .
the Association Manager was directed to inform Mr . Mohr that every-
thing that was put on the poles �vithout wri�ten permission was to be
removed, specifically the dishes , and that a plan for the proposed
additions must be submitted to the Architectural Commit�ee of the
Community Association for review.
Mayor Heinsheimer said the City Council is concerned about safety,
and is concerned only about whether or not the construction for im-
proved safety should be done. He explained that the Association has
a lease agreement with Advanced Electronics, and can act independently
of the City Council , and approval of additional construction for more
stability and safety by the City should not be interpreted as a
direction to the Community Association in the matter.
Councilwoman Swanson said she was advised by residents in the
area that they were not notified of the public hearing on the Condi-
tional Use Permit . The lrianager read the list of residents to �vhom
notices �vere sent into the record, and showed the proof of publica-
tion of the notice in the local newspaper. Councilman Pernell asked
the City Attorney what could be done about omission of Mr. Tuffli ' s
name from the list of residents within 50U feet . P.�r. Kinley said
that since it appears that Mr. Tuffli ' s name was omitted through
clerical error, the matter could be re-opened and Mr. Tuffli could
be heard. Councilwoman Swanson said other neighbors in the immediate
neighborhood said they were not notified. The City Manager said the
record indicates that copies of the :notice which was published on
July 5 , 1978 were sent to nine property owners.
-6-
January 12 , l9sl � 465
Mr. Kinley said there is no permit for �onstruction of the tower;
it was not included in the original permit , which was issued for
construction of a communications equipment buiTding, although �he
tower was shown on the drawing. Councilwoman Swanson said that in
view of the. City ' s regulation about underground u�ilities . and pole
removal , approval of a pole structure for a commercial activi�y should
be denied, and she moved that the building permit `nc�t be appr•oved, �
'_ � �- : ' �� and that the existing structure be rer�oved within 15
working days. The .motion died for lack of a second. �
Mrs. Clifton said that she wished to report for the record that
the building permit was issued in January 1979 according to the
County Engineer 's records , and not in November 1979 as reported by
Mr. King.
Councilman Rose said he thought the matter should be divided
into three issues : Mr. Tuffli ' s failure to receive notice of the
hearing; whether to permit the proposed modifications for safety , '
and legal grounds for requzring rerrioval of �he facility. .
(� Mr. Tuffli said the new construction which replaced poles which
(� feli after heavy rains are higher than the original poTes , and wlien
O Mrs, Tuffli came to the office to inquire about them she was advised
a that nothing could be done about the constructi.on. He said they
� have very limited television reception , and he questioned the declar- ,
ation of negative impact for construction which adversely :affects
Q residents in the area. Mr. Tuffli said he personally feels that the
construction is in direct opposition to cvhat the comrnunity stands for.
Mr, Ftobert i�Iohr, Advanced Electronics, advise.d the Council th.at
the pole$ are 65 feet above the ground, installed 10 feet into the
ground, and are the same heigYit as the poles they replace, but are
located approximately 20 feet north. 114r. Mohr said the poles on the
Air Force property are 100 feet high. He said it is not possible
for him to say at this time where the television interference is
coming from, and he said he would attempt to improve the recention.
He explained that th� poles are installed in a triangular configur-
' ation to reduce windload, and he said the permits were obtained by
the City, and the building permit , Conditional Use Permit and the.
Negative Declaration are all in the City' s name. Councilwoman Swanson
asked whether there is anything. in the record to indicate that Advanced
Electronics has a perm'it for the facility. The Manager said the City
took out the necessary permits and the construction is on Community
Association property ; the Community Association has a franchise agree-
ment with Advanced Electronics. Mr. Kinley said that since the plan
originally submitted showed the communications equipment building
and tower, and through clerical error the building permit was issued
for the building only and the tower, was not included in the permit
or the inspeciion, if the Council wished to approve "as. built" plans
for the construction , including proposed modifications �o increase
safety, the City Clerk could be instructed to. .issue a permit in
accordance with the "as built" plans, showing all additions and
improvements, included the dishes, as marked on Exhibit A.
Councilman Pernell moved that the Council approve a building
permit to be issued to Advanced Electronics for the communications
equipment building shown on the plan as built , and for all additional
construction , including the dishes, as shown: on the pTan marked
Exhibit "A" . The motion was ,seconded by Councilman Rose.
In discussing the motion Councilman Pernell said he is concernec�
about athe apparent failure to notify Mr. Tuffli, whose property is . �
within 500' of the construction. Councilman Rose said he felt the
failure to notify should be corrected if possible. Mr. Kinley asked _
Mr. Tuffli if he would address the Planning Commission in the matter .
of a Conditional Use Permit for the facility if given an opportunity
to do so; Mr. Tuffli, said he would. Chairman Pernell said he wished
to have his motion postponed and b4r. Rose agreed. The Mayor ordered .
the motion held until the next meeting for an opinion from Mr. Kinley
about remedies available to Mr. Tuffli. . Mr. King said he wished to
request for the record that residents be permitted to comment on the
proposed motion before the vote is taken. The Council a_greed to the
request .
-.7- . �

January 12 , 1981
Mr . Morley b4endelson , attorney for Mr. 114ohr , advised the Council
that his client has vested rights, and if the objections to .the tower
are based on safety , as represented, and not on aesthetics , he asked
that he and Mr. Pdohr meet with members of the Association � to discuss
the matter. Mr, ll4endelson said that other towers in the area carry
stronger signals and it was his opinion that not all the interference
with television reception would be eliminated if the Advanced Elec-
tronics installation was removed. Mr. bsendelson aslced to be notified
of all meetings and discussion in connection with the installation.
Mr. Kinley asked Mr. Mohr why dishes are proposed for the towers
instead of antennas. Mr. Mohr said dishes are antennas of a different
configuration.
Mrs. Beth King said that in addit�on to her concern about safety
she objects to the commercial activity within the City limits. Mrs .
King said that to date 130 persons have signed a petition requesting
that the installation be removed, and she submitted a copy for the
file. h7rs. King also circulated pictures of her patio showing the
shadow cast by the dishes on the towers , and said she objects on the
basis of the effect of the installation on her property.
Councilwoman Swanson asked that all residents within 500 feet
of the installation be notified that the matter will be on the next
City Council agenda, in addition to the agenda sent to all residents.
Mayor Heinsheimer asked the Clerk to call the roll on the motion
to postpone the approval of the "as built" plans to give the City
Attorney an opportunity to explore the legal issues and advise the
Council. The motion carried on the following roll call vote :
AYES : Councilmembers Pernell , Rose, Swanson , Mayor Heinsheimer

HEARING ON APPEAL, ZONING CASE NO. 260, JOSEPH P. LADEA4AN 285 3/2
Mayor Heinsheimer re-opened the hearing on the appe�l of Dr. �
and Mrs. Roberto Unguez on the approval by the Planning Commission
of an application filed by Mr. and b4rs. Joseph Lademan . for front
and rear yard variances, with the City Council sitting as the Board
of Adjustment Appeal.
Mrs. Unguez advised the Council that they had contacted Mr.
Lockwood in the matter , and were not aware that he was also working
for the Lademans. Mrs. Unguez said Mr. Lockwood told them that he
had results of soils tests which indicated that construction equip-
ment using a road across their property to reach the Lademan property
would not damage their residence, and they asked that he give his
opinion in writing, but have not received it . It was their under-
standing the Mr. Lockwood would be at the meeting.
b2r, Lademan said that at the Planning Commission he agreed to -
restore the road after construction , and it was his understanding
that Dr. and PJIrs. Unguez were to submit pictures of the road taken
before construci;ion begins: Mayor Heinsheimer said the agreement
between Dr. and Mrs. Unguez and Mr. and b7rs. Lademan for repair of
the road should be reviewed by Mr. Kinley. P�Irs. Unguez said they
use only a small portion of the driveway to reach their garage, and
her main concern is the rest of the drive. Mr. Lademan said that
is approximately 900 feet . Mr. Harry Prodromides , 50 Saddleback
Road, said he uses the driveway infrequently, and he suggested that
use of the entire driveway should be given to Mr. Lademan, with the
understanding that he be responsible for maintenance . Councilman
Rose said any arrangements for joint use and maintenance of the
driveway should be between the owner of the property and the others
who use it , and since the driveway is a dedicated easement sole
use by one owner should be discussed by the parties involved.
