FLYING TRIANGLE SEWER STUDY 126
The Manager reported that following a staff report to the Council
at the last meeting regarding concerns about the low pressure sewer
study done by Lowry and Associates, the County Engineer was asked to
September 27, 1982 273
advise the Council what would be involved in expanding the sewer study
to encompass the entire City, what kind of feasibility studies would
be needed, and to indicate to the Council the concerns of the County
Engineer and the County Sanitation District with regard to the low
pressure sewer system, especially concerning operation and maintenance.
Mr. Smith said Por. Marvin Lowe, Regional Engineer from the Lomita
office of the County Engineer, and Mr. David Edmondson,. a sewer
specialist from the Los Angeles office of the County Engineer, are
present to address. the Council regarding some of the findings in
their initial review of the matter.
Mr. Lowe said he had made a telephone survey of some of the ref=
erences listed in the Lowry report to determine their satisfaction with
the grinder pump system, and the maintenance required. He said he con-
tacted 24 agencies across the country, and he reported that a common
problem was failure of the grinder, which wears out approximately once
a year; starter switch bearing failures; motor burn out and corrosion.
Very few of the users were dissatisfied with the system, but recommend-
ed that all installations, including the pumps at individual houses, be
inspected, and that all sewage entering the system should be cycled to
the treatment plant within eight hours to eliminate the odor problem.
00 Since maintenance has been a problem, it was suggested that a supply
O of spare parts be kept on hand so that when a pump malfunctions it can
be removed, replaced, and the malfunctioning pump can be taken to the
m maintenance shop for repair, rather than attempting on-site repair.
m In response to questions by Mayor Pernell, Mr. Lowe said the best in-
formation he was able to get was. a recommendation for a 10% stockpile
of spare parts, but that is conjecture and would depend on the mainte-
nance facilities available. Mr. Lowe said the longest system surveyed.
has been in operation for 15 years; he said the systems which are ex-
periencing problems blame poor installations and lack of inspections.
Mayor Pernell asked Mr. Lowe what recommendation he would give the
City Council, as their engineer, with regard to a low pressure system.
Mr. Lowe said that in all honesty he could not recommend such a system
without a more detailed study about the comparative aspects of a gravity.
system. He said his concern is the possibility of expensive maintenance
for individuals within a few years. He said the gravity system would
be more costly in the beginning, but more study is needed to determine
which would be the better expenditure in the long run. Councilwoman
Swanson asked Mr. Lowe whether he determined from the Sanitation Dis-
trict whether cycling could be done within the eight hour period recom-
mended. Mr. Lowe said he had not made that determination, since the
low pressure sewer system produces 10% more sulfide than the District
will allow. Although the manufacturer has indicated that he may be
able to overcome that, the Sanitation.District.is concerned about the
sulfide level. Mayor Pernell said Dr. Richard Hoffman has been in-
volved with the Lowry study and he asked whether he would like to
comment.
Dr. Hoffman said the study of the Lowry and Associates low
pressure sewer system was initiated by the former City Manager,
Teena Clifton, and when he contacted them with regard to the Flying
Triangle area, their initial idea was to install a gravity system
with occasional pumps, as opposed to some of the systems referenced
in their literature, with everyone on pumps. Dr. Hoffman said that
in the study there was a recommendation that only five homes be on
pumps, with the remaining homes on a gravity system, using smaller
diameter pipes of a different material. He said it was referred to
as a modified gravity system, using occasional pressure pumps. Dr.
Hoffman said it might not be reasonable to compare such a system to
the systems referenced by Lowry, and he suggested an exploration of
all possibilities, keeping in mind the fact that.a small number of
homes would be involved and that there is ground movement in the area.
Mayor Pernell said the Council is taking a broader view, and the
County Engineer.has been asked to consider the feasibility of a
sewer system for the entire City. Dr. Hoffman said there is a
sense of urgency in the Flying Triangle, and there may not be the
same problems in other areas. Mr. Lowe said a feasibility study
would address that issue. He said such a study should be done to
avoid buying a long term maintenance problem. He introduced Mr.
Edmondson, and asked him to address the Council regarding a feasi-
bility study.

September 27, 1982
Mr. Edmondson said an engineer in sewer design has spent some
time reviewing the report by Lowry and Associates and the master plan
for sewers which was prepared by the County Engineer several years
ago, giving consideration to the topography of Rolling Hills and the
possible availability of sewers immediately outside of the City. A
determination was not made about the low pressure sewer system, but a
preliminary cost estimate for a gravity sewer system was developed
for both the Flying Triangle area and the entire City. Mr. Edmondson
said it appears that the Flying Triangle area could be served by a
gravity sewer system, and the range of cost for that system, including
engineering, project management, inspection and some assessment costs
would be approximately $900 thousand to one million dollars. A sim-
ilar gravity system for the entire city would range from 5 1/2 mil-
lion to 6 million dollars, using today's costs.. Mr. Edmondson said
the figures do not include financing costs, but does include con-
structon.of house laterals up to the easement line; if everyone de-
cides to have sewers, and the contractor is asked to provide sewers
to each residence there may be additional costs. He explained that
normally in the County area when -such improvements are made the house
laterals are taken to the property line and the property owner is
responsible for construction of the laterals from the property line
to the residence. Mayor Pernell said an estimate for a gravity system
was given in the Lowry report, and the figures estimated by the County
are considerably larger. The City Manager said the estimate by Lowry
was in the range of $525 thousand dollars, and was in a revised report.
He said that it was for a gravity system with pumps at some sites, so
it would not be a total gravity system. Mr. Edmondson said the out-
fall line to an existing sewer would be longer than that which is indi-
cated in the Lowry report, which would add to the cost estimate. Mr.
Edmondson said a feasibility study should address the availability of
an existing sewer in an adjacent community with the capacity to receive
additional waste, and any special costs or conditions required to -con-
nect to those sewers. Mr. Edmondson said such a study would take
approximately 100 hours and would cost $4,000; he said it would show
whether a gravity system as envisioned by the County Engineer is fea-_
sible. From there the Engineer would recommend a preliminary design
study, in which the lines would actually be laid out to determine
whether there would be any excessive cuts. He said three pumping.
stations in the main line are envisioned, and those would be located
and costs for the project would be pinned down before any commitment
would be made by the City. Mr. Edmondson said the feasibility study
as outlined is for the entire City, and the preliminary design study
in which the system would be laid out and more accurate costs would
be defined would cost approximately $25,000.
Mayor Pernell asked the City.Manager to comment. Mr. Smith said
he considers the feasibility study, which would cost $4,000, a good
opportunity to look at the City and determine whether a system could
be hooked into a regional system. Beyond that Mr. Smith said some
major decisions would have to be made about whether to proceed with
the higher costs, and if a decision is made to proceed, bonding or
other financial arrangements could be pursued. The Mayor suggested
that in making a study an effort be made to focus on the Flying Tri-
angle immediately, expanding to the entire City at a later date.
The City Manager said it might be possible to have the feasibility
study for the entire City done, then proceed with the preliminary
design study for the Flying Triangle area only. Councilwoman Swanson
asked how long it would take to do a feasibility study for the Flying
Triangle only. Mr. Edmondson said it would take approximately 50
hours; to do the entire City would take approximately 100 hours. He
said a study could be started within a very short time, and the
entire study could be completed within a few weeks. Councilwoman
Swanson said she would be willing to move that the City proceed with
a feasibility study for the entire City. Mayor Pernell said he wished
to hear comment from other members of the Council before entertaining
a motion.
Councilwoman Murdock said she still has concerns about the deeper
trenching which would be required for a gravity system, and it is her
feeling that the low pressure system should be investigated further.
She said she thought an effort should be made to keep trencing and
excavating to a minimum in an area such as the Flying Triangle, and
she askedwhether the concept of a low pressure system aided by an
-3-
September 27, 1982 275
occasional.pump is being abandoned. Mayor Pernell said it is his
understanding that both systems are still being considered. Mr.
Edmondson said the feasibility study as outlined would not include
an analysis of the gravity system proposed by Lowry, and a study of
comparisons would be more costly. His proposal was to look at the
feasibility of gravity sewers and to pin down availability of sewers
to receive the additional sewage, and he is not prepared to give an
estimate of the cost of a study which would compare the two systems.
Dr. Hoffman said the City paid Lowry 56,000 for a study of the low
pressure sewer system, and when the study was presented there were
several unanswered questions; he suggested that Lowry be contacted
and asked to supply additional information which could be used as a
feasibility study for comparison. Dr. Hoffman said he considers it
a reasonable request, stating that he does not think the City got its
money's worth in the initial study. Mayor Pernell said he would also
like to rely on the engineering and planning background of the City
Manager. ?fir. Smith said it is his opinion that a City-wide feasibil-
ity study could be done, with priority given to the Flying Triangle
area by expanding the Lowry report and utilizing the County Engineer
on an hourly basis to work out the specifics.. Mayor Pernell said the
CO Engineer was talking about doing a feasibility study on a gravity flow
O system for the entire City; it was his opinion that a feasibility study
should address the question of whether a sewer system is needed; if so,
what kind of systems are available; after comparison, which system is
m the best for the area. The Mayor said he did not think the City should
CO go right into a project without such as study. Councilwoman Swanson
Q said it was.her understanding that the City Engineer was prepared to
make a study based on a gravity flow system, whether it could be done,
how it should be done,,and the approximate cost, with a similar study
of a low pressure system being done by Lowry and Associates; she said
the final decision should be made by the Council after a comparison
of the information and recommendations in.the two reports.
Mayor Pernell said he wished to remand the matter to a committee
consisting of Councilwomen Swanson, Murdock, and the City Manager, to
review the questions before the Council and to avoid going into the
project with a preconceived idea of what is best for the City. Coun=
cilwoman Swanson said she is concerned about time constraints. The
City Manager said he had requested the County's assistance with regard
to the feasibility study of a gravity flow system for the entire city
based on his report to the Council at the last meeting and because of
the inability of Lowry and Associates to meet standards acceptable to
the County Engineer and the County Sanitation District. Mr..Smith
said the minutes of the meetings of the City Council indicate that a
similar discussion was held in 1968, and he said he is concerned that
the City continues to pump the underlying water table, given the,,con-
ditions that prevail, and the constraints upon the land. Councilwoman
Swanson moved .that the Council authorize a feasibility study by the
County Engineer of:. -a gravity flow system for the entire city, at a
cost not to exceed $4,000, to be completed and presented to the Coun-.
cil within three weeks. Councilwoman Leeuwenburgh seconded the motion.
Councilwoman Murdock said she would be reluctant to approve such a
study, stating that she thought the Committee appointed by the.14ayor
should have two weeks to study the matter and get additional answers
from Lowry and Associates. Councilwoman Swanson said the intent of
the motion was to have a study done by the County while the Commit-
tee studies the Lowry report, so both studies could be compared.
Mayor Pernell said the Lowry report addressed both systems, but favored
the low pressure system. Councilwoman Leeuwenburgh said that she did
not feel that there was sufficient information in the Lowry report to
make a decision, and it was her opinion that both systems should be
considered carefully before a choice is made, for the benefit of all
concerned. Councilwoman Murdock asked Pyr. Edmondson if it would be
possible for the County to include a low pressure system in the feasi-
bility study, and low pressure installation in the Flying Triangle,
with provisions for adapting at some future date to a gravity flow
system. Mr. Edmondson said it could be done, but not within three
weeks, and not within the cost limits of 100 hours at $40 per hour..
Councilwoman Murdock said it is possible that instead of the $4,000
study with one focus, the City might eventually need a more costly
study with a wider focus. Mayor Pernell said he wished to expand the
committee to include Dr. Richard Hoffman. Councilwoman Murdock moved
that the motion to authorize the study by the County, made by
-4-
276
September 27, 1982
Councilwoman Swanson be postponed until the next meeting. The motion
failed because of lack of a second. The motion to authorize the fea-
sibility study by the County failed to carry on the following roll
call vote:
AYES: Councilwomen Leeuwenburgh and Swanson
NOES: Councilwoman Murdock, Mayor Pernell
ABSENT: Councilman Heinsheimer
Mayor Pernell asked that the Committee address a feasible ap-
proach to the matter of sewers, addressing the concerns stated by
staff, contracting engineers and experts. Mr. Lowe asked that the
Committee call him if assistance is needed. Mayor Pernell asked
Councilwoman Swanson to chair the committee.
OPEN AGENDA
DR. CHARLES TUR14ER, 4 PINE TREE LANE 819
Dr. Charles Turner, 4 Pine Tree Lane, appeared before the Council
to ask that a change be made in.the City's ordinance which permits
construction to start at 7:00 a.m. Dr. Turner said that in consider-
ation of the working.patterns of the community, a later starting time
should be enacted.
Mayor Pernell advised Dr. Turner that a public hearing was held
before the ordinance was adopted, and that in the absence of more
than one complaint, no change would be made..
Mr. Roy Campbell advised the Council that he is a resident of
the City, lives at 1 BowieRoad, and is a contractor, presently
working in the City. He asked that the record show that he has
appeared to' -request that the ordinance not be changed.
8'
PUBLIC HEARING, SUBDIVISION NO. 731, PARCEL MAP NO.14468, DR. BRADEN STA_
Mayor Pernell opened a public hearing on Subdivision No. 73, a
proposal by Dr. Braden Stauts to divide Lot 96-RH located at 2 Pine
Tree Lane into two parcels. The City Manager reported that the
Planning Commission approved the tentative map on August 17, 1982,,
subject to conditions which have been forwarded with their recommend-.
ation to the Council. Mr. Smith said the Planning Advisor's Report
dated May 11, 1982, containing 37 conditions was reviewed by the .
Planning Commission and Conditions 6 and 36 were amended; additionally
the Manager recommended that Condition No. 34 be amended to require
1250 gpm fire flow, instead of 500 gpm as shown in the report, since
the Citv's standard is 1250 gpm. Copies of minutes of the Planning
Commission and the Environmental Quality Board were presented to the
Council and the Manager reported that the hearing was noticed as
required by law. A copy of the tentative map was displayed.
Mr. Douglas McHattie'South Bay Engineering Corporation, repre-
sented the owner, and he asked that the Planning Advisor's Report
be further amended by deleting paragraph (2) of Section 29, page 4,
which states that a grading plan must be approved by the Engineering
Geology Section, since the City does not permit pre -grading, or the
approval of pre -grading plans as a condition of approval of a tract.
Mr. McHattie advised the Council that the entrance to the driveway
serving the existing lot has been widened to 94 feet to provide a
space for more than one car; he said the County Engineer had recom-
mended that the driveway access be a minimum of. 50 feet wide. The
access to the newly created lot will be in a location away from the
existing driveway, to avoid development of several driveways in one
area of Pine Tree Lane, and to provide good sight distance.in both
directions. In response to concerns by the Environmental Quality
Board and the Planning Commission about the narrow road, Mr. Mc -
Hattie said it will be possible to widen a portion of the road four
feet, with the loss of only one tree. Councilwoman Swanson inquired
about removal of the existing barn on the property. Dr. Stauts said
it is a 600 square foot barn that is on the proposed property line
-5-
September 27,. 1982
277
between the two properties, and is currently being removed. In
response to questions about the trail, Dr. Stauts said he has agreed
to grant an easement for a bridle trail, and Mr. McHattie said it
will eventually tie in with a new trail being developed in the canyon
bottom behind the property. Mayor Pernell asked whether a representa-
tive of Caballeros had reviewed the plan. The City Manager read the
comments made by Caballeros.approving the plan in concept into the .
record, Mayor Pernell asked whether utilities would be undergrounded.
Mr. 11c1lattie said it would be done as required by the subdivision or-
dinance. The City Manager said it is a requirement of the Municipal
Code, and will be enforced as a condition of signing the final map;
Mr. Smith said a bond will be required to insure compliance. I1r. Mc -
Hattie showed the location of poles on the tentative map. The Mayor
said it is his understanding that if unable to remove all poles with-
in the perimeters of the tract, it is up -to the applicant to come back
to the Council to request relief from the requirement.. Councilwoman
Swanson said she understands that the existing stable has to be re-
moved in order to create the new lot; she asked if it is.administra-
tively possible for the Council to require that the stable be rebuilt
as a condition of approval of the subdivision. Mayor Pernell and.the
Manager agreed that the only requirement is that the applicant show
that there is room for a stable with access to it.. Mr. Smith said a
condition for a stable could be attached to the final approval, but
might be a hardship on the future sale of the property, since a pros-
pective buyer may not wish to ownhorses or build a stable. Council-
woman Leeuwenburgh Asked about the location of a paddle tennis court
Q on the property; Dr. Stauts indicated the location. Mayor Pernell
closed the public hearing.
Councilwoman Murdock moved that the City Council approve Parcel
Map No. 14463, subject to the conditions set forth in the Planning
Advisor's Report dated May 11, 1982, as amended by the.Planning Com-
mission in Conditions 6 and 36 on August 17, 1982 and with additional
amendments made by the City Council on September 27, 1982, including
correction of Condition 34 to read 1250 gpm instead of 500 gpm, and
deleting paragraph (2), Section 29 at the request of the subdivider's
engineer. The motion was seconded by Councilwoman Swanson and carried
by the following roll call vote:
AYES: Councilwomen Leeuwenburgh, Murdock, Swanson
Mayor Pernell
NOES: None
ABSENT: Councilman Heinsheimer
1254
PROPOSAL FOR RE -NUMBERING PINE TREE LANE AND UPPED. BLACKWATER CANYON RD.
The City Manager reported that subdivision.of properties and
construction of new residences on Pine Tree Lane and Upper Blackwater
Canyon Road resulted in a need to re -number residences on those streets
to assign numbers for the new houses and to comply with the require-
ments of the Sheriff and Fire Department for sequential numbering.
Mr. Smith said the item was presented to the Planning Commission at the
last meeting, and residents of Upper Blackwater Canyon Road attended
the meeting. Following discussion it was agreed that there is con-
siderable confusion because of Upper and Lower Blackwater Canyon Roads,
with no access between the two roads, and concern that this could be
a problem in an emergency. The Planning Commission recommended that
the City Council consider changing the name of the road currently
known as Lower Blackwater Canyon Road, and re -number the portion
known as Upper Blackwater Canyon Road, and that if this is done, the
word "Upper" be eliminated. The Planning Commission recommended that
the proposal for re -numbering Pine Tree Lane be adopted as submitted.
Mr. Smith said all residents of Upper Blackwater Canyon Road and Pine
Tree Lane were advised that the matter would be considered by the
Planning Commission. September 21; he requested that further consider-
ation of a name change for Lower Blackwater Canyon Road be deferred
until residents of that road were notified. The Manager said Mr. Ken
Watts, Planning Commission Chairman, is present at the meeting to
discuss the matter with the Council.
September 27, 1982
Mr. Watts advised the Council that in attempting to make a
field trip to a residence on Lower Blackwater Canyon Road members
of the Planning Commission became separated, with some going to
Upper Blackwater Canyon Road. Because of the confusion and loss
of time on that occasion, the Planning Commission was aware of the
situation as presented by the residents who reported daily confusion
by persons attempting to reach residences on both streets, and they
agreed that a name change might provide a reasonable solution. Mr.
Watts said that speaking as a resident who lost his home in a fire,
he considers it vital that confusion regarding street names be elim-
inated if possible, and that all residences be numbered in sequence
to assist emergency personnel, especially if they are not stationed
locally.
Mayor Pernell said changing a street name is a major undertaking,
since there will be a delay in map changes in addition to':the.emoti.onal
impact on the residents of the particular street; he suggested that
as a first step the Fire and Sheriff's Department be contacted and
asked for their advice, and if they concur with the proposal, that
hearings be conducted by the Planning Commission, with a recommend-
ation made to the City Council after public hearings. The Mayor
suggested, further, that the Community Association be advised that
a street name change is being considered, for discussion at a neigh-
borhood meeting. The Planning Commission's recommendation for a
numbering system for Pine Tree Lane was adopted.
RESOLUTION NO. 499 1435
Councilwoman Swanson moved that Resolution No. 499 entitled:
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROLLING HILLS,
CALIFORNIA, PROVIDING FOR SYSTEM OF NUMBERING HOUSES ON PINE TREE
LANE be adopted, and that reading in full be waived. The motion
was seconded by Councilwoman Murdock and carried by the following
roll call vote:
AYES: Councilwomen Leeuwenburgh,. Murdock, Swanson
Mayor Pernell
NOES: None
ABSENT: Councilman Heinsheimer
MATTERS FROM THE CITY COUNCIL
TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE MEETING 1441
Councilwoman Swanson encouraged members of the Council to attend
a meeting of the Peninsula Transportation Committee on Thursday,
September 30 at 7:30 P.M. at the Peninsula Library. She said the
subject of the meeting would be a discussion of use of funds generated
by Proposition A, and the comments made at the meeting will be evalu-
ated at a meeting of the committee on October 4..
APPLICATIONS FOR TRAFFIC COMMISSION APPOINTMENTS 1457
Councilwoman Leeuwenburgh said that with the concurrence of .
members of the City Council she would like to request that a notice
be put in the Newsletter asking for additional applicants to fill a
vacancy on the Traffic Commission.
LA CRESTA SCHOOL SITE COMMITTEE MEETING 1461
Councilwoman Murdock reported that the representatives of the
La Cresta School Site Committee met with two representatives of the
the School Board to discuss disposition of the La Cresta School site.
At the meeting it was agreed that the School Board would be agreeable
to asking the Rolling Hills Community Association to consider taking
that portion of the property into the Association; since it was the
opinion of the two members present, they wished to take the matter
to the School Board, and will advise the City when a decision has
been reached.

Mayor Pernell reported that he represented the City of Rolling
Hills at two recent meetings: the South Bay Mayors' meeting on Employ-
ment of the Handicapped and the meeting of the Palos Verdes Coordin-
ating Council. The Mayor said he expressed his feeling that the
residents of the Peninsula are fortunate because of the dialogue
that is carried on between all of the cities and the other public
and semi-public entities that affect the community.
REPORT FROM THE CITY MANAGER
SALE OF SURPLUS PROPERTY
The City Manager reported that all property which had been
declared surplus by the Council in July has been sold, and he
requested permission to sell the 1966 truck which is no longer
being utilized. Mr. Smith said the truck is still operable, but
has had considerable money spent on repairs; in his opinion there
(x)is no forseeable need for a truck in its present condition. The
O Council authorized advertising the truck for sale.
S"J ANTENNA TOWER 1502
m
m Mr. Smith said he has been contacted by Mr. and Mrs. William King,
Q 92 Crest Road East, and asked about resolution of the Antenna Tower
permit, since it was their understanding that a decision would be
reached within 60 days:of the hearing. They asked that the Council be
advised that they feel that they have reached an impasse in negotia-
tions with the owner'of the tower and his attorneys, and they asked
that the Council be'so advised.
QUESTIONNAIRE RE: CHA14GE IN ELECTIO14 DATE 15.10
The ?Manager reported that as directed by the City Council at a
recent meeting, a questionnaire was sent to all -residents asking for
an opinion regarding a change in date of the M?unicipal Election to
coincide with School Board Elections. Mr. Smith said questionnaires
are being returned daily, and to date 64 have indicated approval of
the proposal; 14 are opposed. The Manager said he would keep the
Council advised of the results.
FOCUSED ENVIRONMENTAL I11PACT REPORT, CHACKSFIELD MIERIT TRACT 33871 1519
