CITY ATTORNEY . 415
Mayor Crocker introduced Mr. Patrick Coughlan, new Attorney for
the City, effective July 1, 1981.
ZONING CASE NO. 259, MASON ROSE, 37 CREST ROAD WEST, APPEAL OF DECISION, 420
Mayor Crocker opened discussion of an appeal of the Planning
Commission's decision by Mr. Mason Rose, 37'Crest Road West, Zoning
Case No. 259,, which was held on the agenda from the previous meeting.
The Mayor distributed copies of the following memoranda to the Mayor
and City Council from Patrick Coughlan: 1) Conditions to Assure Re=
moval of Sports Court, dated June 19, 1981 and 2) Sports Courts,
dated Jul
6, 1981, which were made part of the .file.
Mr. Rose said he wished to research some areas of the memos
with which he disagrees; however, he said he wished to propose a
solution of the problem rather than argue legalities, since he said
his proposed solution might be applied to future problems as -well as
his immediate problem. Mr. Rose proposed that the alternative ap-
proach suggested by Mr. Coughlan.regarding modification of the City's
Zoning Ordinance to specifically provide for a special permit which,
could be granted to individuals meeting a definition of "handicapped':'
be approved, and that the City Attorney be directed to prepare such
a modification for consideration by the Council..
Councilman Heinsheimer said in previous.discussions the Council
agreed to consider an agreement to be drawn up by Mr. Rose and the
City Attorney, with consideration of a modification to the ordinance
as a separate issue, and he said the two issues should be kept separ-
ate. Councilwoman Swanson said she agreed with Councilman H6insheimer
and it was her opinion that the Council should deal with Mr. Rose's
appeal, and not tailor the existing Zoning Ordinance to his appeal.,
, Councilman Pernell said the two step process could be abandoned
in order to avoid confrontation and conflict, and he said he felt
that Mr. Rose's suggestion for a -solution is appropriate. Mayor
Crocker said Mr. Rose now has an appeal of the Planning Commission's
decision before the Council. Since the request- made for.' special -consideration,of a hand ' icap'--is not now authorized by ordinances of the
City., the Mayor asked the City Attorney whether ' it is legally ap-
.propriate for the Council to amend the existing ordinance and apply
the amended ordinance to Mr. Rose's appeal.
Mr. Coughlan said that. the Council can make policy questions
about whether the appeal could be held in abayance, but it was his
opinion that under the proposed new ordinance the applicant would
have to start the process over again with the Planning Commission,
Mayor Crocker said the entire application could be withdrawn by Mr.
Rose without pr ' ejudice, for later submission under the new -ordinance.
Mr. Rose said he would prefer to retain the status quo without pre-
judice, so the proposed ordinance could be considered and he could
then determine whether to proceed with his appeal*, or abandon it and
make a new application under the new ordinance.
Mr. Coughlan said there are four alternatives available: the
Council can grant the appeal under existing conditions; reject the
appeal under existing conditions; hold in abayance pending drafting
of a new ordinance with application made under the new ordinance or
request that the application be withdrawn without prejudice with the
right to file at any future time, and go ahead with the new ordinance.
Mayor Crocker asked whether Mr. Rose would be able to participate in
the discussion as a member of the Council if the third or fourth al-.
ternate was agreed on. Mr. Coughlan said conflict of interest is
determined by the individual.. If there is direct financial benefit -
in excess of $250 to the individual as compared to the Community as
a whole, whether or not there is an application pending, that person
cannot participate. If the matter being considered is of community
wide concern) and affects the community as a whole on an equal basis
Mr. Rose would be entitled to participate in -discussion of the ordi-
nance. Mr. Rose said that if he withdraws his application.without
prejudice, he would wish to retain his "grandfather" status with
regard to existing ordinances., Mr. Coughlan said the Council could
-2-
July 13, 1981
specify a time limit.for re -filing for consideration under the original
ordinances as long as other people in similar circumstances would be
given the same opportunity.
Councilwoman Swanson said that although Councilman Rose has re-
quested that the Council consider a new ordinance, she has not heard
that other members of the Council agree, and she suggested that the
Mayor request a show of interest before directing the City Attorney
to prepare the ordinance. Councilman Heinsheimer said he would be in
favor of the new ordinance, but it was his opinion that Mr. Rose's
appeal should be disposed of first. In a straw vote of the Council
the Mayor determined that Councilmembers-Pernell, Rose, Swanson and
the Mayor were in favor of requesting preparation of a new ordinance
which would take into consideration handicaps, and would also address
the issue of what would happen to that special privilege when the
person for whom it was issued no longer lives on the property, if
anything.
Mr. Rose said he would be willing to withdraw his present appeal
on condition that his right to re -file and proceed within six months
as if the application was not withdrawn, preserving his present
status with regard to existing ordinances,4be approved in order to
give the Planning Commission and City Council an opportunity to
consider the unique,:not financial, needs of the applicant, speci-
fically physical disability. Councilman Heinsheimer said that as
outlined by Mr. Rose, if the appeal is withdrawn the time limit
for filing an appeal would have to.be waived. Mayor Crocker said
that would pertain if Mr. Rose proceeds under existing ordinances;
if a new .ordinance is developed it will be necessary to apply to.
the Planning Commission under that ordinance. Councilman Pernell
suggested that rather than require Mr. Rose to withdraw his appeal,
the Council could table the appeal for consideration of the new
ordinance. Mr. Coughlan said the Council and the applicant both
have time limit rights, and he suggested a time limit of six months.
Councilman Heinsheimer'moved that Mr' Rose be permitted to
withdraw his appeal for a period up to six months, with the.under-
standing that the appeal may be refiled without prejudice at any
time during that period; and that if a new ordinance is adopted
in the interim, the applicant be permitted to apply to the Planning
Commission under the new ordinance, the motion being subject to
agreement by the applicant. Mr. Rose indicated his agreement to
the conditions. Councilwoman Swanson seconded the motion, which
was carried by the following roll call vote:
AYES: Councilmembers Heinsheimer, Pernell, Swanson
Mayor Crocker
NOES: None
ABSENT: None
ABSTAINED: Councilman Rose
Mr. Rose stated for the record that he wished to withdraw his
appeal before the Council, pursuant to the motion just adopted. On.
behalf of the Council, Mayor Crocker acknowledged the withdrawal.
Mayor Crocker asked that the City Attorney prepare a draft ordinance
for consideration at the next meeting.
KLONDIKE CANYON LANDSLIDE UPDATE 535
ABOVE GROUND WATER LINES
Mayor Crocker reported that an above ground installatic)n of water
lines has been completed in the vicinity of the intersection of Ranchero
and Portuguese Bend Roads, and he said the Council must consider the
safety of the installation and a request by Lloyd Mokler, President
of the Board of Directors of the Rolling Hills Community Association
with regard to the installation. In a letter dated July 2, 1981, Mr.
Mokler advised that the installation does not appear to be construc-
ted according to the plan approved by the Association, and he asked
that the Council assist the Association in requiring that the Water
Company remove the unapproved structures and provide water -service
-3-
July 13, 1981
in accordance with the approved plan dated March 10, 1981 marked
as Exhibit "A".
.In discussing the matter Mayor Crocker said he did not feel
the Council should attempt to advise the Water Company on the matter
of compliance with the plan, since the Council did not see the plan;
Mayor Crocker said he would recommend that the City Attorney be re-
quested to ask that the Water Company do whatever can be done to
mitigate the appearance of the installation. Councilwoman Swanson
reported that the Traffic Commission made a field trip to the site,
and because of the proximity of the installation to the road, the
Commission has recommended that the City Attorney -should be asked to
visit the site and make a recommendation for posting appropriate.signs
in.view of the.safety hazard. Mr. Coughlan advised the Council that
he has been to the site, and he recommended that signs be posted in
the area advising of the installation of high pressure water lines on.
the surface, and imposing a speed limit of 5 miles per hour. In
addition, Mr. Coughlan recommended that a letter signed by the Mayor
be sent to the Water Company advising of the Council's concern about
the current design and location of the water mains, since they cause
a severe traffic hazard, and requesting that the pipes be relocated
so they will no longer create a safety problem. The Mayor asked
that the letter be prepared for his signature.
REQUEST FOR MOBILE HOME ON WAGNER PROPERTY, 54 PORTUGUESE BEND ROAD 648
A letter dated July 3 , 1981 from Major Alan Langer, attorney for
Mrs. Margaret Wagner was presented to the Council. Mr. Langer stated
that because of the condition of Mrs. Wagner's home she finds it neces-
sary to place a mobile home.on her property and would like to make an
application to the City of Rolling Hills to do so.
Mr. Langer addressed the Council and explained that Mrs. Wagner's
home in the active slide area is :,-rapidly becoming.uninhabitable,
and he considers it unsafe for Mrs. Wagner to continue to live in it
alone. The Mayor explained.that the City's Zoning Ordinance prohibits
having two houses on one lot. Mr. Langer said there is a pad in the
back part of her lot which is suitable for the type of mobile home
Mrs. Wagner would like to place on it; he said the structure is ap-
proximately 1700 square feet in size, single story, and is architec-
turally not unlike some of the older houses in the area. It would
not require a foundation; would have a holding tank above ground,
thereby eliminating the septic tank presently on the lot, and all
utilities would also be above ground. Mr. Langer said the appli-
cation would state that no one would be permitted to live in the.
existing structure. He explained that Mrs. Wagner wishes'to keep
the existing house, to be lived in again if the slide is stopped.
If the slide is not stopped, or continues to progress, Mrs. Wagner
will not be able to occupy her home, and it will be a total loss.
In the event the slide abates, the mobile home would be removed.
Mayor Crocker asked whether the pad would require a slab. Mr.
Langer said it.'was his understanding.that the mobile home Mrs.
Wagner is interested in is on.pilings, not a slab or foundation.
Mr. Coughlan said that in attempting to do something helpful
and creative for residents who are facing destruction of their
homes, the Council has a number of factors to consider, including
determination of the point at which the primary residence becomes
untenable, and if it is untenable, at which point does it become so
unsafe as to require that it be demolished. Further, there is the
matter of enforcing removal of the mobile home if the slide is or
becomes stabilized. There is currently a moratorium forbidding
any construction in the Flying Triangle, and although the mobile
home would not have to be constructed, installation of pilings
would require a permit which is currently prohibited, Mr. Coughlan
said, and it may be necessary to develop a conditional use process
to authorize temporary structures in a slide area where the primary
residence is uninhabitable. A determination must be made as to the
time when a residence becomes inhabitable and the person must move
out, and a further determination as to when it must be decided that
the primary residence is in such bad shape it must be torn down.
Mr. Coughlan said the two issues should be dealt with simultaneously.
-4-
July 13, 1981
Councilman Rose said that studies of the Flying Triangle
landslide indicate that there is no danger of catastrophic failure,
since to date there is slow, gradual slippage. He said the pros-
pect of two residences on one piece of property disturbs him, and
further, he said a resident should have sufficient time to decide
whether to abandon the main residence, in which case a mobile home
could be placed to replace the original home. Councilman Heinsheimer
suggested that a member of the staff work with a member of the Council
to develop an acceptable policy for approval of such a request with
reasonable protection to prevent ending up with two residences on
one property without subdivision. Mr. Langer said that it is Mrs.
Wagner's wish to preserve her way of life as much as possible, since
she has lived in her home since 1954, and she wishes to retain her
property through such means as*eliminating the septic tank 'and sewage
system of her existing house. He said Mrs. Wagner has limited use of
water and sanitary facilities as much as possible in her existing
home.
Councilman Pernell said survival in the Flying Triangle is now
being considered, and it is his opinion that the Council should try
to assist those residents as much as possible, providing that no
one is hurt in the process. Mayor Crocker said the Wagner property
is unique from the standpoint that whatever change is made on it
can be viewed from few residences, but he said that some of the
other properties in the active slide area are highly visible, and
consideration of a mobile home on those properties would be very
different.. Mayor Crocker asked about the additional weight if
the effluent is stored above ground, as described by Mr. Langer.
The Mayor said one of the residents in the Flying Triangle expressed
concern about the request to place a mobile home in the area because
of the added weight, the appearance, and possible precedent. Council-
woman said she had also received a telephone call expressing concern.
Councilman Heinsheimer suggested the Council consider developing
an ordinance which would empower the Council to act in extraordinary
situations without creating a precedent. He suggested that very
special findings be made to give the Council affirmative powers.
Mayor Crocker said there are only four houses in the active slide
area, and such an ordinance could be made to apply to those houses
only „ and he suggested that the City Attorney be asked to draft an
approach to an ordinance which would permit a mobile home under extra-
ordinary circumstances which would have to be very limited, with
conditions placed on the approval which would be'satisfactory to
the staff, the residents who live in the area and the person who
is directly affected. Councilman Heinsheimer suggested that the
City Attorney be asked to work with the City Manager, the Mayor
and Mr. Langer to develop an ordinance which would include issues
beyond a placement of a mobile home, and which would apply to other
problems which may develop in the active slide area. Councilwoman
Swanson said she would be opposed to adopting an -ordinance which
would permit a mobile home, since she said the Council has the
legal muscle to lift the moratorium in special cases. She suggested
that the Council rely on the advice of the County Engineer regarding
the required construction for a mobile home. Mr. Coughlan said the
existing ordinance does not cover a problem of this nature, since
the Conditional Use Permit concept does not apply to this type of
construction. Councilman Heinsheimer said he would be amenable to
any legal appropriate method to solve the'problems of residents in
the, active slide area, and it was his suggestion that a study be
made to determine a legal and appropriate method to solve the problems
which may develop. Mayor Crocker said there must be people in Rancho
Palos Verdes who could act as consultants in the matter. Mr. Coughlan
said residents in the slide area in Rancho Palos Verdes have found
some effective ways of living with the slide problems.
Councilwoman Swanson asked Mr. Coughlan if a "hold harmless"
agreement could be.required of a resident who currently has a claim
entered against the City. Mr. Coughlan said a hold harmless agreement
would have to apply only to the particular installation for which it
is drawn.
Mr. Langer said the mobile home that is being proposed is worth
$50,000; the cost of replacing the original home would be in excess
-5-
July 13, 1981
of $2001,000. Mr. Langer said the intent is that only one of the homes
on the property would be occupied, but Mrs. Wagner wishes to retain her
original home so that if the slide stops it can be rehabilitated.
If,the damage reaches the point where the home is not salvageable, it
will be removed and the mobile home will be retained.
Mayor Crocker summarized the Council's instructions to the City
Attorney that a draft ordinance be prepared for Council review out-
lining special considerations for residents and properties in the
active slide area. Mr. Jim Brogdon, 5 Maverick Lane; stated that as
a long time resident he was pleased to see the Council's concern for
residents who are having a problem. Mr. Brogdon asked that the Council
put a limit on the time and ownership of those special considerations;
specifically he asked that the owner of.a property -on which a mobile
home is placed not be permitted to sell the lot with the mobile home
on it. The Mayor said that is among the many items which the Council
will consider.
SENIOR ADVOCACY CENTER 833
Councilwoman Swanson introduced Mrs. Edith Mayerson, Director,.
and Mrs. Jean Dickinson, Coordinator of the Peninsula Seniors Advocacy
Center. She noted that Mrs. Linda Broder, immediate Past President of
the League of Women Voters of Palos Verdes Peninsula, sponsor of the
Senior Advocacy Center, is also.present.
In a letter dated July 3, 1981 Mrs. Dickinson advised the Mayor
that the Center is in a financial crisis because of the unexpected
cutoff of CETA funding on April 15. Private foundation funding is
being sought, but will not be available before January 1982, and to
help continue the program during the interim period, contributions
from the Peninsula.cities are being requested.
Mrs. Mayerson addressed the Council, giving background inform-
ation on the Center, including results of a survey of needs of seniors on
the Peninsula. Mrs. Mayerson asked that the City support the request
for funding by writing a letter of support. A motion to provide the
letter of support was made by Councilman Rose, seconded by Councilwoman
Swanson and carried unanimously.
With regard to a request for funds, Mrs. Mayerson said the City
of Rolling Hills Estates has pledged financial help; Rancho Palos
Verdes has also pledged financial help contingent on support of two
other Peninsula Cities. Mrs. Mayerson asked that Rolling Hills also
make a contribution, so that the Center will be assured of financial
help from Rancho Palos Verdes and Rolling Hills.
Councilman Heinsheimer said he reviewed the Annual Budget for
1981-82 which was provided with Mrs. Dickinson's letter, and in his
opinion there was a large allocation for salaries: He.said that al-
though the service may be a worthy cause, he did not think the City
should be asked to bail it out financially. Councilwoman Swanson
.said the service provides an excellent support group for seniors,
and she cited Dial -a -Ride registration as one of the vital services provided.
Councilwoman Swanson moved that Rolling Hills participate with the
other Peninsula Cities in supporting the Center, and make a small
donation of $250 for the fiscal year. Mayor Crocker seconded the
motion for purposes of discussion.
In discussing the motion Councilman Rose said he agreed that the
service is needed and is under financed,. but as a policy the Council
does not make a gift of funds. He suggested that residents be asked
to make private donations. Mrs. Mayerson said the other Peninsula
cities have similar constraints, but will support the Center this
year; she again said that support by Rancho Palos Verdes is contingent
on support of the other Peninsula cities. Councilwoman Swanson said
this will be a one time request until other funding becomes available.
Mrs. Judie Donner, 10 Saddleback Road, said she was active in polling
the needs of seniors, and Rolling Hills has a high percentage of senior
citizens; 10% of the residents of Rolling Hills are over 60 years old.
Mrs. Linda Broder said the League of Women Voters have provided office
space for the Advocacy Center, and will continue to support the service.

Attorney from membership on the Commission, and she asked Mr. Coughlan
to prepare the appropriate amendment to the ordinance.
SOUTH BAY CAREER CRIMINAL APPREHENSION PROGRAM FUNDING 1020

RECOMMENDATIONS OF TRAFFIC COMMISSION .1060
Councilwoman Swanson reported that in response to a letter dated
June 29, 1981 from Dr. Arthur Zimmerman, 12 Cinchring Road, the Traffic
Commission made a field trip to Cinchring Road and made the following
reccommendations to increase traffic safety:
1. White reflective striping to be painted on each side of
Cinchring Road between Matthews,.#11 and Zimmerman, #12.
2. Install additional center line reflectors near vicinity of
the Matthews driveway at intervals to match those on the curved
section (8 ft. apart).
'3. Install curve warning sign at #16 Cinchring, Stanton,
facing northbound traffic.Install 15 mph speed.limit sign.
4. Crocker, #14 and Zimmerman, #12 properties should clear
plantings along side of the`road. Crocker property has wild
brush; Zimmerman property has encroaching ice plant where
white reflective striping will be painted.
5. Install reflective paddles along Zimmerman property
beginning opposite Matthews' mailbox and extending to
beginning of guard rail, allowing enough room for a parked car.
Councilwoman Swanson moved that the Council approve the recom-
mendations for implementation as soon as possible. The motion was
seconded by Councilman Heinsheimer and carried by the following roll
call vote:
AYES: Councilmembers Heinsheimer, Pernell, Swanson
Mayor pro tem Rose
NOES: None
ABSENT: Mayor Crocker
Councilwoman Swanson said that following a recent accident on
Crest Road East, in the City of.;Rancho Palos Verdes near•.the.closed
South Gate, a recommendation for improving the safety in the area
and an estimate of costs for the improvements was submitted by Mr.
Don Guluzzy, City Manager of Rancho Palos Verdes. The Traffic Com-
mission approved the recommendations and requested that the Board
of Directors be asked to pay half of the cost of the installation
for increased traffic safety, and the City of Rolling Hills would
pay one half. Councilman Heinsheimer said that in view of the
allocation of funds by the City of Rolling Hills to the City of
Rancho Palos Verdes for bicycle route construction, it was his
opinion that the City Manager should talk to Mr. Guluzzy about
having the installation paid for by Rancho Palos Verdes, since
the portion of Crest Road East on which it will be.made is in that
city.
