Project plans - To View Plans Please Visit City Hall BACKGROUND: On May 14, 2004, Staff received a complaint alleging that unpermitted retaining walls were being constructed and grading was occurring on the property located at 2950 Crownview Drive (formerly known as 29664 Grandpoint Lane). Staff confirmed the unpermitted construction activity, and after several attempts to contact the property owner, on November 10, 2005, the property owner submitted Site Plan Review and Grading Permit applications for the construction of a new 5,306 square foot one-story residence and to legalize the unpermitted retaining walls with 388 cubic yards (CY) of grading to accommodate the proposed improvements. 1 On July 7, 2006, the Director of Community Development (Director) conditionally approved the project, and this decision was appealed to the Planning Commission on July 20, 2006. On November 28, 2006, the Planning Commission (Commission) adopted P.C. Resolution No. 2006-59, upholding the Director's decision to approve the applicant's project with a condition requiring that the upper retaining wall be demolished and the lower retaining wall at the northeast corner of the property be reduced from 8' in height to 3' 6" in height. The Commission's decision was appealed to the City Council by the same appellants. The appellants raised concerns about the structural integrity of the unpermitted walls, the measurement methods for the retaining walls, and the location of the northeast corner retaining wall. On June 7, 2007, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2007-63 (Attachment B), upholding the Commission's decision to approve the project. The City Council is the final deciding body for the proposed project, and any subsequent revisions to the project are to be considered by the City Council. On December 16, 2008, the project plans were submitted to the Building & Safety Division for plan check review. However, after two years and two time extensions, the construction permit expired in December 2010. During this period the property changed ownership. In April 2016, the Director reissued the planning entitlements to the current property owner and a new Building Permit was issued to complete the work started under the original Building Permit. During construction in 2016, the property owner realized that the City Council -approved 4' 6" tall retaining wall would not be tall enough to retain the extreme slope just north of the garage. Additionally, it also became apparent that the retaining walls that were built years ago were beginning to fail. The property owner was informed that these walls would have to be rebuilt to meet current Building Codes. As a result, the property owner submitted a request to revise the approved Grading Permit to allow the following actions to stabilize the transitional slopes and to improve the structural integrity of the existing retaining walls: 1) Replace the City Council -approved 4' 6" tall retaining wall north of the garage with two terraced walls consisting of an 8.22' -tall lower retaining wall and an 8.04' -tall upper combination wall (includes 3.5 -tall guardrail along the property line). 2) Replace and relocate the two unpermitted terraced retaining walls that partially encroach onto the neighbor's property at the northeast corner of the property with two new terraced walls consisting of an 3' -tall lower retaining wall and a 7' -tall upper combination wall (includes 3.5' -tall guardrail) entirely on the subject property. 3) Replace the existing deteriorating 3.9' -tall retaining wall along the west property line with a new 8.1' -tall combination wall (includes 3.5' -tall guardrail) that will extend around to the rear yard, which will replace a previously 2 approved 2.5' -tall wall in the rear yard. The portion of this wall extending into the rear yard will not require a guardrail. 4) Conduct 126.42 CY of additional grading consisting of 123.12 CY cut and 1.3 CY fill to accommodate the proposed retaining walls. On July 28, 2017, a public notice was mailed to owners of property within a 500' radius of the property and published in the Daily Breeze. After the notice was mailed, Staff received correspondence (Attachment C) from three neighbors expressing concerns with the proposed revisions. Staff met with these neighbors to discuss their concerns, addressed in greater detail under "Public Correspondence" below. All written correspondence between Staff and the neighbors is attached. DISCUSSION: Pursuant to Development Code Section 17.78.040, an amendment which proposes one or more substantial amendments to a project shall be considered by the same body that took the final action in approving the original project, utilizing the same hearing and noticing procedures and review criteria as required by the Development Code. As the final action on this project was taken by the City Council, the proposed revision to the Grading Permit, and the requested Minor Exception Permit and Fence/Wall Permit are subject to City Council review and approval. Major Grading Permit Revision Pursuant to Development Code Section 17.76.040, a Major Grading Permit is required for projects that result in an excavation or fill of more than 5' in depth and/or result in an excavation, fill or combination thereof, in excess of 50 CY. Since some of the proposed retaining walls exceed 5' in height and 126.42 CY of grading is proposed for the proposed retaining walls, a Major Grading Permit is required. Development Code Section 17.76.040(E) sets forth the required criteria (in bold type) that the City Council must consider to approve a Major Grading Permit application: The grading does not exceed that which is necessary for the permitted primary use of the lot; The primary use of the property is residential as identified in the City's General Plan and Zoning map. The applicant requests approval to replace the improperly -constructed retaining walls and construct the previously -approved south retaining wall with 126.42 CY of associated grading. As previously stated, one of the walls was found to be too short to support the existing extreme slope, the Building & Safety Division identified structural issues with several of the unpermitted retaining walls, and a set of unpermitted retaining walls at the northeast corner were built partially on the neighbor's property by the previous property owner. The current property owner's application is to correct these issues by either reconstructing or building new (previously approved) retaining walls that are properly engineered entirely on the subject property to accommodate the residential development on the site. The applicant is not proposing 9 grading beyond what is necessary to replace the improperly -constructed retaining walls. Therefore, this criterion can be met. 2. The proposed grading and/or related construction does not significantly adversely affect the visual relationships with, nor the views from the viewing area of neighboring properties; Staff believes that there will be no significant change to the existing visual relationships with the neighboring properties for several reasons. The property is accessed via a private driveway that is higher in elevation than the building pad. As a result, the upsloping retaining walls north of the garage will face the property and only a few inches of the retaining wall and the 3.5' tall required guardrail on top will be visible from the adjacent properties and the private access driveway. As for the two downslope terraced walls at the northeast corner of the property facing 2938 Crownview Drive, the area between the 7.0' -tall upper combination wall (includes 3.5' -tall guardrail) and the lower 3' -tall retaining wall will be required to be landscaped to soften the appearance of these walls from neighboring properties. The upslope neighboring properties to the south on Grandpoint Lane are located approximately 40 to 50 feet higher in elevation than the property. Therefore the proposed retaining walls do not impair their view. The properties to the east on Crownview Drive are located at least 20 feet lower in elevation than the property and therefore do not have views over the proposed project area. In regard to the properties to the west, although the 3.5' -tall guardrail is required along the majority of the west property line wall, Staff visited the upslope property at 2952 Crownview Drive and determined that the guard rail will not cause significant view impairment, as analyzed in the Fence/Wall Permit section below. Notwithstanding this determination, however, the upslope neighbor has expressed a concern with the proposed guardrail impacting her view. The height of this wall has been revised, which is discussed further within the Fence/Wall Permit section below. For these reasons, Staff believes that the proposed grading (and retaining walls) will not significantly adversely affect views or visual relationships with neighboring properties and this criterion can be met. 3. The nature of the grading minimizes disturbance to the natural contours and finished contours are reasonably natural; According to a geotechnical investigation report dated April 4, 2005, the existing "natural" contours of the project sites are largely the result of past grading, which occurred in 1959 for the development of Tract No. 22615, and in the early 1960s for Tract No. 28321 (of which the subject property is a part). Additionally, the current layout of the property was permitted by Resolution No. 2007-63 for Grading Permit ZON2005- 00593. The proposed replacement retaining walls would be built in the same general location as were originally approved by the City Council. The unpermitted retaining wall that partially encroaches over a neighbor's property would be rebuilt or replaced with a El properly -engineered retaining wall in the same general location, but solely on the subject property. The proposed project is limited to the previously -approved grading area. Therefore, this criterion can be met. 4. The grading takes into account the preservation of natural topographic features and appearances by means of land sculpturing so as to blend any man-made or manufactured slope into the natural topography; As mentioned above, the existing "natural" contours of the project site are largely the result of tract grading in the past, as well as past development, which included the existing retaining walls. Additionally, there is minimal land -sculpturing as the proposed grading area will be limited to the City Council -approved areas to replace retaining walls in the same general location. Therefore, this criterion can be met. 5. For new single-family residences, the grading and/or related construction is compatible with the immediate neighborhood character; The single-family residence is already under construction and is mostly completed. In order to finalize the permit for the residence, the applicant still needs to complete the widening of the private access driveway required by the Fire Department, replace the failing retaining walls, and pay some miscellaneous Building Permit fees. The proposed grading is to accommodate the replacement of retaining walls and not for the construction of the new residence. Therefore, this criterion does not apply. 6. In new residential tracts, the grading includes provisions for the preservation and introduction of plant materials so as to protect slopes from soil erosion and slippage and minimize the visual effects of grading and construction on hillside areas; The proposed grading does not involve a new residential tract and therefore this criterion does not apply. 7. The grading utilizes street designs and improvements which serve to minimize grading alternatives and harmonize with the natural contours and character of the hillside; The proposed project does not involve modifications to streets or other public infrastructure and therefore, this criterion does not apply. 8. The grading would not cause excessive and unnecessary disturbance of the natural landscape or wildlife habitat through removal of vegetation; The proposed grading area does not contain natural landscape or wildlife habitat and therefore, this criterion does not apply. 9. The grading conforms to the following standards: 5 Development Does the Proposed Standard Grading Criteria Project meet the standard a) Grading on Permitted on lots created prior to slopes over 35% the City's incorporation, not zoned steepness OH, based upon a finding that the Yes grading will not threaten public health, safety and welfare b) Maximum 35% steepness, unless next to a finished slopes driveway where 67% steepness is No permitted c) Maximum Except for the excavation of a depth of cut or fill basement or cellar, a fill or cut not exceeding 5' depth, unless based upon a finding that unusual No topography, soil conditions, previous grading or other circumstances make such grading reasonable and necessary d) Restricted No grading on slopes over 50% No grading areas steepness e) Retaining One 8' -tall upslope wall (unless in No walls front yard or street side setback One 3'/2' -tall downslope wall No One 3'/2' -tall up- or downslope wall No in each side yard One 5 -tall up- or downslope wall n/a adjacent to driveway Retaining walls within building n/a footprint may exceed 8' f) Driveways 20% maximum slope permitted, with a single 10' -long section up to Yes 22% 67% slopes permitted adjacent to n/a driveways Based on the table above, the proposed project does not meet standards (b), (c), (d), and (e). However, as per Development Code Section 17.76.040.E.10, the City Council may grant a grading permit in excess of standards (b), (c), (d), and (e) upon making the following findings: a) The criteria of subsections 1 through 8 are satisfied; As articulated in the above discussions, Grading Permit Criterion Nos. 1 through 8 can be met. Therefore, this finding can also be made. Al • b) The approval is consistent with the purposes set forth in the grading section of the Municipal Code (17.76.040.A); Development Code Section 17.76.040 describes the purpose of the Grading Permit as "permitting reasonable development of land, ensuring the maximum preservation of natural scenic character of the area consistent with reasonable economic use of such property, and ensuring that each project complies with all goals and policies of the General Plan". The proposed terraced retaining walls consist of an 8.04' -tall upper combination wall (4.54' -tall retaining wall topped with a 3.5' -tall guardrail) and an 8.22' -tall lower retaining wall north of the garage. Subsection (e) states that only one 8' tall upslope wall shall be permitted. However, as the existing maximum elevation difference between the building pad and the adjacent private access driveway is approximately 13', any proposed wall or combination of walls must be more than 8' in height to allow the continued reasonable use of the property. Additionally, the proposed retaining wall up to 8.22' in height requires a depth of cut in excess of 5' in height. The proposed 5 -tall retaining wall along the west side property line extends into the rear yard over slopes greater than 50%. This new wall is proposed primarily to replace an improperly built wall as required by the Building & Safety Division. The proposed grading to support the construction of the retaining walls is primarily limited to only what is necessary to replace walls in the same general location as the previous City Council -approved walls. Although a slope over 35% is required at the upper west retaining wall, this will help to ensure the natural scenic character of the area, by further reducing the view impact of the proposed guardrail. Additionally, the proposed walls and associated grading will not affect the natural scenic character of the area, as discussed in Criterion No. 2 above, and will preserve the reasonable economic use of the property. Therefore, this finding can be made. c) Departure from the standards in subsection 9 of this section will not constitute a grant of special privileges inconsistent with the limitations upon other properties in the vicinity; and Allowing retaining walls that exceed 8' against an ascending slope and 3.5' in the side yard, grading over an extreme slope of 35% or greater, and creating finished slopes greater than 35% would not constitute granting special privileges inconsistent with the limitations upon other neighboring properties. This is because similar improvements exist on neighboring lots that have comparable terraced retaining walls and manufactured slopes greater than 35% in the side, front, and/or rear yards. Therefore, this finding can be made. d) Departure from the standards of subsection 9 of this section will not be detrimental to the public safety nor to other properties. Allowing retaining walls in excess of its height limits and allowing grading over extreme slopes would not be detrimental to public safety or to other properties because the 7 proposed project will improve existing conditions on the property by replacing improperly -built retaining walls with Code -compliant engineered walls and at heights that would adequately support the existing slopes. Additionally, City Geologist and Building & Safety Division review and approval is required prior to permit issuance and a series of inspections will be required throughout the construction process to ensure compliance with the approved plans. Therefore, this finding can be made. e) Notice of decision shall be given to the applicant and to all owners of property adjacent to the subject property. Notice of denial shall be given to only the applicant. Based on the City Council's decision, the applicable adjacent property owners will be notified and therefore, this finding can be made. It should be noted, however, that the City Council's decision will be final and cannot be appealed administratively. The decision is subject to Sections 1094.5 and 1094.6 of the Code of Civil Procedure. Minor Exception Permit (MEP) Development Code Section 17.76.030(C)(1) states that combination walls are limited to 8' in height outside the front yard setback area. However, a Minor Exception Permit may be granted allowing the height of a combination wall to increase up to 11.5' outside the front yard setback area. The two proposed terraced combination walls north of the garage and along the west side property line exceed 8' in height. As such, a Minor Exception Permit may be granted based upon making at least one of the following three findings: 1. The requested minor exception is warranted by practical difficulties; or 2. The requested minor exception is warranted by an unnecessary hardship; or 3. The requested minor exception is necessary to avoid inconsistencies with the general intent of the Development Code. The Minor Exception Permit to exceed the 8' maximum combination wall height limit is warranted based on practical difficulties due to the grade differential (more than 13 feet) between the building pad and the private driveway and the abutting property to the west. Furthermore, there isn't enough area between the proposed walls and the existing residence to support a third, shorter terraced wall, and proposing additional walls may result in inconsistencies with other sections of the grading criteria. Alternatively, portions of the walls exceeding 8' in height may be covered with additional earth to reduce the apparent height of the wall, but that would require a substantial burden to engineer a wall that could support this additional weight since a portion of the lower wall is integrated into the garage. Therefore, Staff believes that the requested Minor Exception Permit is warranted to allow combination walls in excess of 8' based on practical difficulties. s1• In addition to the above, Development Code Section 17.76.030(D)(2) requires that, in assessing a Minor Exception Permit for a combination wall, the following criteria are met: a. The height of the fence or wall will not be detrimental to the public safety and welfare; As stated in Grading Permit Finding "d" above, the improperly built retaining walls will be replaced with Code -compliant engineered walls, which will improve the public safety and welfare. Additionally, City Geologist and Building & Safety Division review and approval of the walls will be required. b. The line of sight over or through the fence is adequate for safety and does not significantly impair a view from the viewing area of an adjacent parcel as defined in Section 17.02.040 (View Preservation and Restoration) of this title; Staff has visited the upslope property and has determined that no significant view impairment will be caused by the proposed combination walls. A detailed discussion of this requirement can be found in the "Fence/Wall Permit" discussion below. C. On corner lots, intersection visibility as identified in Section 17.48.070 (Intersection Visibility) of this title is not obstructed; and The property is not a corner lot; therefore, this criterion does not apply. d. The height of the retaining portion does not exceed the grading limits set forth in Section 17.76.040 (Grading Permit). As discussed in the above "Major Grading Permit Revision" section above, all findings required for a Grading Permit have been met; therefore, this criterion has been met. Since all the required criteria and findings in RPVDC Sections 17.76.030(C)(1) and 17.76.030(D)(2) can be made, Staff believes that the requested Minor Exception Permit is warranted by practical difficulties and can be approved. Fence/Wall Permit A Fence/Wall Permit is required for fences/walls that are located on a property with a pad elevation at least 2 feet below the pad elevation of the adjacent upper property, and which extend up above the pad elevation of the upper property. The subject property is approximately 13 feet lower in elevation than the abutting property to the west. As portions of the proposed combination wall along the west side property line exceed the building pad level of the upslope property at 2952 Crownview Drive, a Fence/Wall Permit is required. Pursuant to Development Code Section 17.76.030, when a fence or 01 wall is proposed which is not immediately exempt from the requirements for a permit, an initial site visit will be completed in order to determine the type of application process required. Accordingly, Staff visited the property at 2952 Crownview Drive and determined that portions of the combination wall along the west side property line have the potential to significantly impair a view from the viewing area of another property, as defined in Development Code Section 17.02.040 Residential (RS) Districts. Thus, when a proposed fence or wall has the potential to significantly impair a view, a Fence/Wall Permit may be approved if the following findings can be met: a. That the fence or wall would not significantly impair a view from the viewing area, as defined in Chapter 17.02 (Single -Family Residential (RS) Districts), of another property or a view from public property which has been identified in the city's general plan or coastal specific plan, as a city -designated viewing area. Views shall be taken from a standing position, unless the primary viewing area is more suitable to viewing in a seated position; The upslope neighboring properties to the south located on Grandpoint Lane are located approximately 40 to 50 feet higher in elevation than the subject property and the proposed fence is not located within the Grandpoint Lane properties' protected views. The properties to the east on Crownview Drive are located at least 20 feet lower in elevation than the subject property and therefore do not have views over the proposed project area. The upslope property at 2952 Crownview Drive is approximately 13 feet higher in elevation and has a view over the property. Based on a site visit to this property, Staff does not believe that the proposed combination wall (guardrail included) along the west property line will cause a significant view impairment pursuant to Section 17.02.040. Specifically, this property has a view of city lights, Los Angeles and Long Beach harbors, the Vincent Thomas Bridge and the ocean. Staff found that the top portions (guardrail) of the proposed combination wall will minimally extend into the bottom of the protected view of the city lights, while the remaining components of the view will not be impacted. Portions of the proposed combination walls along the north are visible from the viewing area of 2952 Crownview, but only impair views of a neighboring vacant residential property, which is not considered a protected view. Additionally, the portions of the proposed combination wall at the northeast property corner are not visible from the viewing area of this property. As the overall amount of impairment is minimal, as compared with the entirety of the view frame, Staff believes that the view impairment caused by the guardrail is not significant. Therefore, this finding can be met. Notwithstanding the above determination, the neighbor has expressed concern with the proposed guardrail impacting her view. In response, Staff has worked with the applicant and the neighbor to address this concern. The upslope neighbor is requesting that a portion of the property behind the upper western retaining wall be excavated and regraded with a slope that would reduce the required height for the upper retaining wall, 10 and consequently lower the top of the guardrail in the view to 36" above the upslope neighbor's existing hedges. The applicant is amenable to the request. Therefore, a condition has been added that memorializes this design element. It should also be noted that the plans distributed to City Council show the upper western retaining wall as an 8.6 -tall combination wall. Although the plans show this, Staff has received written correspondence from the applicant that they are amenable to reducing this wall by at least 6" to a total height of 8.1' to address the neighbor's view concern. As the applicant will be required to re-engineer this wall, Staff has added a condition that, prior to submittal to plan check review, the plans must be revised such that the total height of the upper combination wall along the western property line does not exceed 8.1' in total height, and that the guardrail does not exceed 36" above the pad level of the upslope neighbor's property. This additional revision will require about 2 cubic yards of additional cut for the project, for a total of approximately 126.42 cubic yards. Additionally, the upslope property owner at 2952 Crownview Drive has acknowledged that re -grading the portion of the slope in order to lower the upper wall may require some earth movement on her property, and potentially also the removal of a portion or all of the existing hedges along her property line. If any earth movement on the upslope property is required, Staff will require submittal of an application signed by the upslope property owner. b. That all foliage on the applicant's lot which exceeds 16 feet or the ridgeline of the primary structure, whichever is lower, and impairs a view from the viewing area of another parcel, as defined in Chapter 17.02 (Single -Family Residential (RS) Districts) or a view from public property which has been identified in the city's general plan or coastal specific plan, as a city -designated viewing area, shall be removed prior to permit approval. This requirement shall not apply where removal of the foliage would constitute an unreasonable invasion of the privacy of the occupants of the property on which the foliage exists and there is no method by which the property owner can create such privacy through some other means permitted by this title that does not impair a view from viewing area of another property; Based on a site visit conducted on August 3, 2017, there is no foliage on the property that significantly impairs a view from any protected viewing areas. Therefore, this Finding can be made. C. That placement or construction of the fence or wall shall comply with all applicable standards and requirements of the Rancho Palos Verdes Municipal Code and general plan; As discussed above, the proposed combination wall meets all applicable standards and requirements of the General Plan and the Rancho Palos Verdes Municipal Code, including but not limited to setbacks, and views. The combination walls do not comply with the height requirements of the Municipal Code, but are allowed through the Minor 11 Exception Permit process, subject to certain findings. Therefore, this Finding can be made. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Public Correspondence This construction project has been the subject of neighbor complaints for several years, particularly with the improper construction of the retaining walls, the lengthy duration of construction, and the condition of the site throughout the years. As previously reported, the lot has been owned by different individuals over the years. During the public comment period, these concerns, as well as concerns related to potential view impairment caused by the proposed guardrail along the western property line and the color and material of the guardrail, were expressed to Staff, who has been diligently working with the current owner to correct the deficiencies so that the project can be finalized. These issues are discussed below. Timeline for Completion of Proiect The building permit for the project was originally obtained in 2008, and the property has changed ownership several times, each owner experiencing issues with correcting the improperly constructed retaining walls. The neighbors who share the private access driveway are understandably concerned that the current permit process will stall the progression of the project, further lengthening the time to completion. However, the current property owner has expressed his desire to continue with the project, and has conveyed that directly to City Staff. He has completed all required items requested by City Staff in a timely manner and has also agreed to revise the plans to address the upslope neighbor's view concerns. Potential View Impairment The upslope neighbor at 2952 Crownview Drive has raised potential view impairment concerns caused by the proposed guardrail, which are discussed in greater detail under Finding "a" of the FenceMall Permit section above. Guardrail Design The neighbor at 2952 Crownview Drive is requesting that the color and material of the guardrail along the west side of the combination wall be constructed and maintained as a series of horizontal brown matte metal flat bars. Both the property owner and neighbor are in agreement, and a condition has been added memorializing this guardrail design (Condition No. 23 of the attached Resolution). 12 Private Access Driveway Retaining Wall The completion of this project is contingent on the property owner meeting a Los Angeles County Fire Department requirement that the private access driveway be enlarged to 20' in width prior to the residence receiving a certificate of occupancy. In June 2016, the applicant submitted a separate Grading Permit to expand the existing common private driveway over the properties located at 2978 Crownview Drive and the vacant lot known as Assessor's Parcel No. 7566-008-015, by constructing a retaining wall up to 7.01' in height (307' in length) with 234 CY of associated grading on these two properties. The Director approved the Grading Permit on May 23, 2017, and the project was submitted to the Building & Safety Division for plan check on June 6, 2017. Issuance of the building permit is pending plan check approval and recordation of easement agreements with the owners of the affected properties. Driveway Paving The Los Angeles County Fire Department is also requiring that the existing driveway serving the residence be expanded and improved with a hammer -head turn around. No additional grading is required for this driveway change, as it will be constructed directly on an existing flat portion of the lot, and the additional paving would increase the lot coverage to 37.4%, which is less than the maximum permitted 40% lot coverage for the RS -2 zoning district. Permit Streamlining Act Extension The Permit Streamlining Act requires that a decision be rendered on an application within sixty (60) days of being deemed complete by Planning Staff. Since this project was deemed complete on June 7, 2017, the decision deadline is August 7, 2017. However, since an additional ten (10) days is required in order to hold the City Council hearing, the applicant has granted a 10 -day extension. The new action deadline is August 17, 2017. CONCLUSION: Based on the discussion above, Staff recommends that the City Council conditionally approve the requested Major Grading Permit Revision, Minor Exception Permit, and Fence/Wall Permit for the property at 2950 Crownview Drive (Case No. ZON2016- 00224). ALTERNATIVES: In addition to the Staff recommendation, the following alternative actions are available for the City Council's consideration: Identify any issues of concern with the proposed project, provide Staff and/or the Applicants with direction in modifying the project, and continue 13 the public hearing to a date certain, provided the property owner grants an extension to the action deadline pursuant to the Permit Streamlining Act. 2. Deny, without prejudice, the proposed Grading Permit Revision, Minor Exception Permit, and FenceMall Permit. 14 RESOLUTION NO. 2017- A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RANCHO PALOS VERDES CONDITIONALLY APPROVING A GRADING PERMIT REVISION, MINOR EXCEPTION PERMIT, AND FENCE/WALL PERMIT TO ALLOW MODIFICATIONS TO A PREVIOUS COUNCIL - APPROVED GRADING PERMIT AT 2950 CROWNVIEW DRIVE. WHEREAS, on May 14, 2004, Staff received a code violation complaint alleging that unpermitted retaining walls were being constructed and grading was occurring on the property located at 2950 Crownview Drive (formerly 29664 Grandpoint Lane). Staff confirmed the unpermitted construction activity, and after several attempts to contact the property owner, on November 10, 2005, the property owner submitted Site Plan Review and Grading Permit applications for the construction of a new 5,306 square foot one-story residence and to legalize the unpermitted retaining walls with 388yd3 of grading to accommodate the proposed improvements; and, WHEREAS, on July 7, 2006, the Director of Community Development approved the project with conditions; and, WHEREAS, on July 20, 2006, a timely appeal was filed by Rod White, Harry and Peggy Fussganger, and Ruperto Elpusan and Lula Bullale, the property owners of 2952, 2960, and 3070 Crownview Drive, respectively, raising concerns with destruction of the natural contour of the hill, underestimation of lot coverage, resulting in appearance of bulk and mass, and mischaracterization of the illegal retaining wall along the western property line; and, WHEREAS, on November 28, 2006, the Planning Commission, at a duly noticed public hearing, adopted P.C. Resolution No. 2006-59, upholding the Director's decision to approve the applicant's project with a condition requiring that the upper retaining wall be demolished and the lower retaining wall at the northeast corner of the property be reduced to 3' 6" in height; and, WHEREAS, a timely appeal was filed by the same appellants, Rod White, Harry and Peggy Fussganger, and Ruperto Elpusan and Lula Bullale, the property owners of 2952, 2960 and 3070 Crownview Drive, respectively. The appellants raised concerns about the structural integrity of the unpermitted walls, the measurement methods for the retaining walls, and the location of the northeast corner retaining wall; and, WHEREAS, On June 7, 2007, the City Council conducted a duly noticed public hearing and adopted Resolution No. 2007-63, upholding the Planning Commission's decision to approve the applicant's project; and, A-1 WHEREAS, on December 16, 2008, a building permit was issued for the construction of the approved project; and, WHEREAS, after three years and two time extensions, the construction permit expired in December 2010. In April 2016, the planning entitlement was reissued and a new Building Permit was issued to complete the work started under the original Building Permit; and, WHEREAS, during construction, the property owner realized that the Council - approved 4' 6" tall retaining wall would not be tall enough retain the extreme slope just north of the garage. Additionally, it also became apparent that the retaining walls that were built years ago were beginning to fail. The property owner was informed that these walls would have to be rebuilt to meet current Building Codes. As a result, the property owner submitted a request to revise the Council -approved Major Grading permit to stabilize the transitional slopes and to improve the structural integrity of the existing retaining walls: and, WHEREAS, On July 28, 2017, a public notice was mailed to owners of property within a 500' radius of the subject site and published in the Daily Breeze. During the public comment period, Staff received correspondence from three neighbors expressing concerns with the proposed revisions and Staff met with these neighbors to discuss their concerns; and, WHEREAS, pursuant to the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act, Public Resources Code Sections 21000 et. seq. ("CEQA"), the State's CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Section 15000 et. seq., the City's Local CEQA Guidelines, and Government Code Section 65962.5(f) (Hazardous Waste and Substances Statement), the proposed project has been found to be categorically exempt under Class 2 (Section 15302); and, WHEREAS, on August 15, 2017, the City Council held a duly noticed public hearing, at which time all interested parties were given an opportunity to be heard and present evidence. NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RANCHO PALOS VERDES DOES HEREBY FIND, DETERMINE AND RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS: Section 1: The proposed project is a request for the following: A. Replace the Council -approved 4' 6" -tall retaining wall north of the garage with two terraced walls consisting of an 8.22' -tall lower retaining wall and an 8.04' -tall upper combination wall (includes 3.5' -tall guardrail along the property line). Resolution No. 2017 - Page 2 of 12 A-2 B. Replace and relocate the two unpermitted terraced retaining walls that partially encroach into the neighbor's property at the north-east corner of the property with two new terraced walls consisting of an 3' -tall lower retaining wall and a 7' -tall upper combination wall (includes 3.5' -tall guardrail) entirely on the subject property. C. Replace the existing deteriorating 3.9' -tall retaining wall along the west property line with a new 8.1' -tall combination wall (includes 3.5' -tall guardrail) that will extend around to the rear yard, which will replace a previously approved 2.5 -tall wall in the rear yard. The portion of said wall extending into the rear yard will not require a guardrail. D. Conduct 126.42 yd3 of additional grading consisting of 125.12 yd3 cut and 1.3 yd3 fill to accommodate the proposed retaining walls. Section 2: Approval of the Revised Major Grading Permit is warranted because: A. The grading does not exceed that which is necessary for the permitted primary use of the lot. More specifically, the primary use of the subject lot is residential as identified in the City's General Plan and Zoning map and the applicant requests approval to replace retaining walls with 126.42 yd3 of associated grading. One of the walls was found to be too short to support the existing extreme slope, Building & Safety Division identified structural issues with several of the unpermitted retaining walls, and a set of unpermitted retaining walls at the northeast corner were built partially on the neighbor's property by the previous property owner. The proposed project is to correct these issues by either reconstructing or building new retaining walls that are properly engineered entirely on the subject property to accommodate the residential development on the site. The applicant is not proposing grading beyond what is necessary to replace the improperly constructed retaining walls. B. The proposed grading and/or related construction does not significantly adversely affect the visual relationships with, nor the views from, the viewing area of neighboring properties. The property is accessed via a private driveway that is higher in elevation than the building pad. As a result, the upsloping retaining walls north of the garage will face the subject property and only a few inches of the retaining wall and the 3.5' tall required guardrail on top will be visible from the adjacent properties and the private access driveway. As for the two downslope terraced walls at the north-east corner of the property facing 2938 Crownview Drive, the area between the 7.5' -tall upper combination wall (includes 3.5' -tall guardrail) and the lower 3' -tall retaining wall will be landscaped to soften the appearance of these walls from neighboring properties. The upslope neighboring properties, to the south, on Grandpoint Lane are located approximately 40 to 50 feet higher in elevation than the subject property and therefore, the proposed Resolution No. 2017 - Page 3 of 12 A-3 retaining walls do not impair their view. The properties to the east on Crownview Drive are located at least 20 feet lower in elevation than the subject property and therefore do not have views over the proposed project area. In regards to the properties to the west, although the 3.5' -tall guardrail is required along the majority of the west property line wall, the guard rail will not cause a significant view impairment from 2952 Crownview Drive, as articulated in the FenceMall Permit Section below. C. The nature of the grading minimizes disturbance to the natural contours and finished contours are reasonably natural. Per the geotechnical investigation report dated April 4, 2005, the existing "natural" contours of the project sites are largely the result of past grading, which occurred in 1959 for the development of Tract No. 22615, and in the early 1960s for the current Tract No. 28321. Additionally, the current layout of the site was permitted per the previously approved grading permit. The proposed replacement retaining walls are in the same general location as what was originally approved by the Council. The unpermitted retaining wall that partially encroaches over a neighbor's property will be reconstructed with a properly engineered retaining wall that will be in the same general location, but solely on the subject property. The proposed project is limited to the previously approved grading area. D. The grading takes into account the preservation of natural topographic features and appearances by means of land sculpturing so as to blend any man-made or manufactured slope into the natural topography. The existing "natural" contours of the project site are largely the result of tract grading in the past, as well as past development, which included the existing retaining walls. Additionally, there is minimal land -sculpturing as the proposed grading area will be limited to the previously approved areas to replace retaining walls in the same general location. E. The approval is consistent with the purposes set forth in the grading section of the Municipal Code (17.76.040.A) and the grading conforms to standards related to maximum finished slopes and driveways. The proposed terraced retaining walls consist of an 8.04' -tall upper combination wall (4.54' -tall retaining wall topped with a 3.5' -tall guardrail) and an 8.22' -tall lower retaining wall north of the garage. Subsection (e) states that only one 8' tall upslope wall shall be permitted. However, as the existing maximum elevation difference between the building pad and the adjacent private access driveway is approximately 13', any proposed wall or combination of walls must be more than 8' in height to allow the continued reasonable use of the subject property. Additionally, the proposed retaining wall up to 8.22' in height inevitably requires a depth of cut in excess of 5' in height. The proposed 5 -tall retaining wall along the west side property line extends into the rear yard over slopes greater than 50%. This new wall is proposed primarily to replace an improperly built wall, as required by the Building & Safety Division. The proposed grading to support the construction of the retaining walls is primarily Resolution No. 2017 - Page 4 of 12 i limited to only what's necessary to replace walls in the same general location as the previous approval. Additionally, the proposed walls and associated grading will not affect the natural scenic character of the area, as articulated in Finding No. 2 above, and will preserve the reasonable economic use of the property. F. Allowing retaining walls that exceed 8' against an ascending slope and 3.5' in the side yard, and grading over extreme slope would not constitute granting special privileges inconsistent with the limitations upon other neighboring properties. This is because similar improvements exist on neighboring lots which have comparable terraced retaining walls in the side, front, and/or rear yards. G. Notice of decision will be given to the applicant and to all owners of property adjacent to the property. Section 3: Approval of the Minor Exception Permit is warranted by practical difficulties because of the grade differential (more than 13') between the building pad and the private driveway and the abutting property to the west. There isn't enough area between the proposed walls and the existing residence to support a one third shorter terraced wall, and proposing additional walls may result in inconsistencies with other sections of the grading criteria. Alternatively, portions of the walls exceeding 8' in height may be covered with additional earth to reduce the height of the wall, but that would require a substantial burden to engineer a wall that could support this additional weight since a portion of the lower wall is integrated into the garage. Section 4: The project also meets all the criteria in the Fence/Wall Permit section for Minor Exception Permits: A. The height of the combination walls will not be detrimental to the public safety and welfare. The improperly built retaining walls will be replaced with Code -compliant engineered walls, which will improve the public safety and welfare. Additionally, City Geologist and Building & Safety Division review and approval will be required. B. The line of sight over or through the guardrail is adequate for safety and does not significantly impair a view from the viewing area of an adjacent parcel as defined in RPVDC Section 17.02.040. C. The height of the retaining portion of the combination walls meet all of the findings required for a Grading Permit to be approved. D. As articulated in the above "Revised Major Grading Permit" section above, all findings required for a Grading Permit have been met. Section 5: Approval of the Fence/Wall Permit is warranted because: Resolution No. 2017 - Page 5 of 12 A-5 A. The combination wall along the western side property line will not significantly impair a view from the viewing area, as defined in RPVDC Chapter 17.02 (Single -Family Residential (RS) Districts), of another property or a view from public property which has been identified in the city's general plan or coastal specific plan, as a city -designated viewing area. The upslope neighboring properties to the south located on Grandpoint Lane are located approximately 40 to 50 feet higher in elevation than the subject property and the proposed fence is not located within their protected view. The properties to the east on Crownview Drive are located at least 20 feet lower in elevation than the subject property and therefore do not have views over the proposed project area. The upslope property at 2952 Crownview Drive is approximately 13 feet higher in elevation and has a view over the subject property. Specifically, this property has a view of city lights, Los Angeles and Long Beach Harbors, the Vincent Thomas Bridge and the ocean. The top portions (guardrail) of the proposed combination wall will minimally extend into the bottom of the protected view of the city lights, while the remaining components of the view will not be impacted. Portions of the proposed combination walls along the north are visible from the viewing area of 2952 Crownview, but only impair views of a neighboring vacant residential property, which is not considered a protected view. Additionally, the portions of the proposed combination wall along the northeast are not visible from the viewing area of this property. As the overall amount of impairment is minimal, as compared with the entirety of the view frame, the Council finds that the view impairment caused by said guardrail is not significant. Notwithstanding the above, as the upslope neighbor had expressed a concern with the proposed guardrail impacting their view, the applicant has agreed and a condition is attached which states that prior to issuance of Building and/or Grading permits, the portion of the property behind the upper western retaining wall shall be excavated and regraded with a slope that would reduce the required height for the upper retaining wall, and consequently lower the top of the guardrail by at least 6" in the view, to 36" above the upslope neighbor's building pad. B. The proposed combination wall meets all applicable standards and requirements of the General Plan and the Rancho Palos Verdes Municipal Code, including but not limited to setbacks, height, and views. Section 6: The City Clerk shall certify to the passage, approval, and adoption of this Resolution, and shall cause this Resolution and her certification to be entered in the Book of Resolutions of the City Council. Section 7: The time within which judicial review of the decision reflected in this Resolution must be sought is governed by Section 1094.6 of the California Code of Civil Procedure or other applicable short periods of limitation.

Resolution No. 2017 - Page 12 of 12 A-12 RESOLUTION NO. 2007-63 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RANCHO PALOS VERDES UPHOLDING THE PLANNING COMMISSION'S DECISION TO APPROVE, WITH CONDITIONS, SITE PLAN REVIEW AND GRADING CASE NO. ZON2005-00593 FOR: A 5,306 SQUARE FOOT ONE-STORY RESIDENCE WITH AN OVERALL HEIGHT OF 12'; AN UPSLOPE RETAINING WALL BEGINNING ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE LOT TO THE SOUTH SIDE, MEASURING 137' IN LENGTH AND UP TO 7' IN HEIGHT; AN UPSLOPE RETAINING WALL ON AN EXTREME SLOPE ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE PROPERTY, MEASURING 57' IN LENGTH AND UP TO 5' IN HEIGHT; AN UPSLOPE RETAINING WALL ON AN EXTREME SLOPE ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE LOT, MEASURING 34' IN LENGTH AND UP TO 4'-6" IN HEIGHT; AN AFTER -THE -FACT CONSTRUCTION OF AN UPSLOPE RETAINING WALL NEAR THE WEST SIDE PROPERTY LINE MEASURING UP TO 3'-2" HIGH AND 114' IN LENGTH; THE DEMOLITION OF TWO DOWNSLOPE RETAINING WALLS NEAR THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF THE PROPERTY MEASURING 4'-6" HIGH AND 8' HIGH, RESPECTIVELY; AND THE CONSTRUCTION OF ONE DOWNSLOPE RETAINING WALL IN THE GENERAL AREA OF THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY, MEASURING NO HIGHER THAN 3'-6", ON A VACANT LOT LOCATED AT 29664 GRANDPOINT LANE. WHEREAS, on May 14, 2004, a code violation complaint regarding the construction of retaining walls on the west and near the northeast corner of the property was received by Staff; and, WHEREAS, on November 10, 2005, the applicant formally submitted Grading Permit and Site Plan Review applications for a new 5,306 square foot one-story single- family residence with an overall height of 12'; an upslope retaining wall beginning on the west side of the lot to the south side, measuring 137' in length and up to 7' in height; an upslope retaining wall on an extreme slope on the south side of the property, measuring 57' in length and up to 5' in height; an upslope retaining wall on an extreme slope on the north side of the lot, measuring 34' in length and up to 5' in height; an upslope retaining wall on an extreme slope on the north side of the lot, measuring 34' in length and up to 4'-6" in height; and an after -the -fact construction of the retaining wall near the northeast corner of the subject site, measuring 70' in length and up to 4' in height; and, WHEREAS, on December 8, 2005 and February 1, 2006, the application was deemed incomplete, pending the submission of additional materials; and, WHEREAS, upon submittal of the required information, construction of the temporary silhouette and submittal of the silhouette certification form, the application was deemed complete by Staff on May 3, 2006. Subsequently, a notice of application was mailed to all property owners within 500' radius of the subject site and the notice was published in the Palos Verdes Peninsula News on May 6, 2006; and, WHEREAS, pursuant to the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act, Public Resources Code Sections 21000 et. seq. ("CEQA"), the State's CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulation, Title 14, Section 15000 et. seq., the City's Local CEQA Guidelines, and Government Code Section 65962.5(f) (Hazardous Waste and Substances Statement), Staff found no evidence that Case No. ZON2005-00593 would have a significant effect on the environment and, therefore, the proposed project has been found to be categorically exempt under Class 3 (New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures) since the project involves the construction of a new residence on a vacant lot; and, WHEREAS, on July 7, 2006, the Director of Planning, Building and Code Enforcement reviewed and approved Case No. ZON2005-00593, and a Notice of Decision was prepared and distributed to all interested parties; and, WHEREAS, on July 20, 2006, within fifteen (15) days following the Director's Notice of Decision, Rod and Rebecca White, Harry and Peggy Fussganger, and Ruperto and Lula Elpusan (hereinafter referred to as the Appellants), filed an appeal to the Planning Commission requesting that the Planning Commission overturn the Director's approval of Case No. ZON2005-00593 based on the belief that the proposed grading to accommodate the construction of the new single-family residence, retaining walls, and one retaining wall and one garden wall constructed without permits result in the destruction of the natural contour of the hill; the gross underestimation of lot coverage results in the appearance of bulk and mass; and the mischaracterization of the illegal retaining wall being described as a garden wall, therefore creating major hazard issues; and, WHEREAS, a notice of application was mailed to all property owners within 500' radius of the subject site and the interested parties on September 7, 2006 and the notice was published in the Palos Verdes Peninsula News on September 9, 2006; and, WHEREAS, after notice was issued pursuant to the requirements of the Rancho Palos Verdes Development Code, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing on September 26, 2006. At the public hearing, one of the Appellants produced photographs to the Planning Commission which suggested misrepresentation of the existing height of the after -the -fact retaining wall constructed near the northeast corner of the subject parcel on the original plans submitted by the applicant and subsequently presented to the Planning Commission; and, WHEREAS, the Planning Commission continued the meeting to November 28, 2006 to allow Staff the opportunity to research and review the information regarding the accuracy of the retaining wall constructed on the northeast corner of the subject parcel; and, WHEREAS, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing on November 28, 2006, at which time all interested parties were given an opportunity to be heard and present evidence. Furthermore, Staff presented evidence indicating that instead of one downslope retaining wall measuring 4' high near the northeast corner of the property, there are actually two connected downslope retaining walls with heights of 4'-6" and 8' with a horizontal separation exceeding 3' between the walls. The Planning Commission conditionally approved the project to allow only one downslope retaining wall near the northeast corner of the subject parcel, the height not to exceed 3'-6", thereby upholding the Director's approval of Case No. ZON2005-00593. A Notice of Decision was prepared and distributed to all interested parties; and, Resolution No. 2007-63 Page 2 of 6 WHEREAS, on December 12, 2006, within 15 days following the Planning Commission's decision, the Appellants filed an appeal to the City Council requesting that the Planning Commission's decision be overturned, thereby denying Case No. ZON2005-00593, based on the belief that the proposed grading to accommodate the construction of the new single-family residence, retaining walls, and the after -the -fact retaining walls result in the destruction of the natural contour of the hill; the gross underestimation of lot coverage results in the appearance of bulk and mass; and the mischaracterization of the west after -the -fact wall being described as a garden wall (a wall that retains less than 3'-0" in height of soil), therefore creating major hazard issues; and, WHEREAS, after notice issued pursuant to the requirements of the Rancho Palos Verdes Development Code, the City Council held a duly noticed public hearing on February 20, 2007, at which time all interested parties were given an opportunity to be heard and present evidence. At the meeting, two of the Appellants noted a discrepancy between the height of the after -the -fact west wall and Staff's reference to it as a "garden wall" (retaining less than 2'-11" height of soil). Further, a property owner at 2938 Crownview Drive, a parcel which abuts the subject property, alleged that a survey performed on his property showed that a segment of the after -the -fact retaining walls near the northeast corner of the subject parcel was constructed on the property located at 2938 Crownview Drive. The Council directed Staff to coordinate a meeting with the Appellants to measure the wall and examine the surveys submitted by the property owner at 2938 Crownview Drive and the project applicant. The Council moved the discussion of the appeal of the proposed project to a date uncertain (4-0, Councilman Stern abstained); and, WHEREAS, on February 28, 2007, Staff met with two Appellants, the property owner, the Director of Planning, Building & Code Enforcement, the City Geologist, the property owner and his architect at 2938 Crownview Drive to measure the height of the after -the -fact wall constructed near the west side property line. Staff found that the heights of the soil retention by the west wall ranged in height from 2'-3" to 3'-2", and as a result, the west wall was determined to be a retaining wall; and, WHEREAS, Staff reviewed the surveys of the properties submitted by the property owner at 2938 Crownview Drive and the property owner. Both surveys showed that a segment of the after -the -fact retaining walls constructed near the northeast corner of the subject property encroaches the property at 2938 Crownview Drive. The applicant acknowledged this and has revised the plans to demolish said wall and proposes to construct one downslope retaining wall in the general area of the existing walls. The new downslope retaining wall shall not exceed the height of 3'-6"; and, WHEREAS, a notice of a public hearing was mailed to all property owners within 500' radius of the subject site and the interested parties on May 24, 2007, and the notice was published in the Palos Verdes Peninsula News on May 26, 2007; and, WHEREAS, after notice issued pursuant to the requirements of the Rancho Palos Verdes Development Code, the City Council held a duly noticed public hearing on June 5, 2007, at which time all interested parties were given an opportunity to be heard and present evidence. Resolution No. 2007-63 Page 3 of 6 NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RANCHO PALOS VERDES DOES HEREBY FIND, DETERMINE, AND RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS: Section 1: The proposed residence and resulting appearance will not significantly change the appearance of the immediate neighborhood and the residence will be compatible with the immediate neighborhood. The architectural style, roofing material, exterior finishes, and building materials will be consistent with other homes in the neighborhood. Although the resulting 5,306 square foot residence will be 1,406 square feet greater than the neighborhood average, the size of the proposed residence is found to be within the range of the homes in the immediate neighborhood, which range from 2,676 square feet to 8,518 square feet, therefore the size is found to be compatible with the residences in the immediate neighborhood. Further, the proposed construction of the residence on the south side of the property, behind the front fagade of the proposed residence as seen from the streeet of access, mitigates the potential concern for creating bulk and mass. Lastly, the building setbacks from the corresponding property lines are found to be comparable with the residences found in the immediate neighborhood. Section 2: The proposed grading does not exceed that which is necessary for the permitted primary use of the lot. The proposed grading will accommodate construction of the new residence. The quantity of earth movement is not excessive, as it will be utilized for the permitted primary use of the lot. Section 3: The grading and related construction will not significantly affect the visual relationships nor the views from neighboring properties. From the existing elevation (935'), an excavation with a cut measuring up to 7' is proposed, resulting in a finished grade elevation ranging from 928.5' to 929' on the west side of the subject lot. The proposed 12' high residence on the finished grade (928.5929') will be lower in height, than a structure which would have been constructed at the existing grade (935'). Section 4: The proposed grading minimizes disturbance to the natural contours and finished contours are reasonably natural. The proposed grading for the residence will occur on a non -extreme slope area to accommodate the construction of the west and south portions of the residence, with the remainder of the property maintaining in its natural condition and topography. Grading proposed on the extreme slopes on the south and north portions of the lot are limited to constructing upslope retaining walls to create flat walkable area. The grading proposed on the property is limited to the construction of the new residence and the associated retaining walls adjacent to the residence; as such, the resulting appearance of the residential structure and the retaining walls shall be constructed to appear to be blend in with the natural contours. Section 5: The proposed grading takes into account the preservation of natural topographic features and appearances by means of land sculpturing so as to blend any man-made or manufactured slope into natural topography. The proposed residence was designed to follow the natural topography on the subject site. In accommodating the construction of the new residence, grading is proposed on the non - extreme slope located on the west and south elevations. The resulting upslope retaining wall shall range in height from 2'-6" to 7' in height. Outside of this retaining wall, the applicant is proposing two retaining walls on the south and the north sides, measuring 2' to 5', and 4'-6" respectively, to provide a flat area. The proposed flat area on the south Resolution No. 2007-63 Page 4 of 6 B-4 side is about 3' wide, and on the north side, ranges from 3' to 5' wide. The site shall be landscaped to soften the appearance of grading. Section 6: The proposed grading would not cause excessive and unnecessary disturbance of the natural landscape or wildlife habitat through removal of vegetation as no wildlife habitats have been identified on the subject site. Section 7: The grading application is consistent with the purpose and intent of Section 17.76.040.A, since grading on slopes over 35% is permitted if the lot was recorded and legally subdivided on or before November 25, 1975. Furthermore, except for the excavation of a basement or cellar, a fill or cut should not exceed a depth of five (5) feet and is not allowed on slopes exceeding fifty (50%) percent, except where the City Council determines that unusual topography, soil conditions, previous grading or other circumstances make such grading reasonable and necessary. Although the applicant's request for excavation calls out for a cut up to 7' in depth to construct an upslope retaining wall on a non -extreme slope on the west side of the property where the new residence is proposed, the subject site contains topographical constraints not evident in other lots in the immediate neighborhood. Moreover, the proposed grading is not excessive for that which is permitted for the primary use of the lot; the proposed grading is for the upslope retaining wall associated with the new residence; and the proposed grading is subject to the review, inspection, and approval of the City's Building Official, hence, will not be detrimental to the public safety or the surrounding properties. Section 8: The survey of the property belonging to the property owner of 2938 Crownview Drive showed that a segment of the after -the -fact downslope retaining walls constructed near the northeast corner of the subject site in fact was constructed on the neighboring property at 2938 Crownview Drive. The applicant for the project also submitted a survey which confirmed this error. As such, the applicant shall be required to demolish said walls near the northeast corner of the subject parcel and construct one downslope retaining wall entirely on the subject property, at a height not to exceed 3'-6", in accordance with the Development Code. Section 9: For the foregoing reason and based on the information and findings included in the Staff Report to the Director, dated July 6, 2006; the Staff Reports to the Planning Commission dated September 26, 2006 and November 28, 2006; the Planning Commission Resolution No. 2006-59; the Staff Reports prepared for the City Council in connection with this application, dated February 20, 2007 and June 5, 2007, the City Council of the City of Rancho Palos Verdes hereby upholds the Planning Commission's decision to approve the Site Plan Review and Grading Permit application to allow for the proposed project on the subject vacant lot (Case No. ZON2005-00593), subject to the conditions contained in Exhibit 'A', attached hereto and made a part hereof, which are necessary to protect the public health, safety and welfare in the area. Section 10: The time within judicial review of the decision reflected in this Resolution, if available, must be sought is governed by Section 1094.6 of the California Code of Civil Procedure and other applicable short periods of limitation.

Yes, I have been in your office several times last week regarding the flood of water six inches deep under the house, the unfenced pool 3-4 feet deep with water, and the retaining wall that has and may continue to collapse further that retains my driveway and is a few feet from my house. It is my understanding that the City inspectors have informed the owner of 2950 Crownview Drive that their retaining wall has failed due to water run off from my flat property that absolutely did not happen. And that only sandbags are needed to protect their wall from further collapse from water run off from my property. Thankfully I have convinced them that it is the vibration from vehicles pulling in and out of my driveway as well as the trash trucks and FedEx trucks that is putting too much of a surge and vibration against this seven foot retaining "garden wall". They put some bracing against the retaining wall near my driveway to hold it in place. He has also informed me that you do not believe that there is any harm in leaving the water under the house and in the pool. No additional safety precautions need to be taken other than putting a lock at the top of the fence. Of course, any child or person can still get pass the fence, fall into a half full or empty pool and crawl under a swampy house that is now breeding mosquitos and mold. The neighbors here are getting together to request to be addressed at the next City council meeting. We the neighbors have been raising our concerns about the stability of the "garden walls" and lack of other walls for sometime but for some odd reason you continue to let this hazard evolve. Someone could seriously get injured or sick from this property some day if the hazards are not properly mitigated and the property owners won't be the only ones at fault. I'm not sure why there is not some type of outlining document attached to this property so that all potential owners and current owners know all the issues that must be addressed with this property? That way this property would actually sell for the correct value so that whomever does end up buying it can make the appropriate investments. It's not okay to say that our backs were turned at the Planning Commission while current owner removed documents outlining specifics of the property. That should never happen even if it wasn't allowed.

Once past the garage, however, the tall concrete retaining wall will require an additional key to be added to the outboard edge of the existing wall footing, Detail S2. Where the concrete wall curves at the "rear" of the lot, a new retaining wall S 1.1 may be added to support the sloped hillside. If this looks like an acceptable repair, we will forward the calcs to RPV.

Upon submittal of a complete application, Staff will be able to continue processing your application for a final decision. (Please make all revisions permanent, penciled in revisions are not acceptable): 1. Please see the attached redline plans and let me know if you have any questions. 2. As stated on the redlined plans, please provide the easement holder's authorization to complete work within the ingress, egress, public utilities easement. The previous easement holder was Belmont Savings and Loan and William H. Chism and Terry J. Chism. I believe the Chism's were the original property owners of 2952 Crownview Drive so you may wish to find out if the current owner of that property is the only easement holder, and did Belmont Savings and Loan transfer their ownership of the easement to another entity which still holds the easement.

Additionally, you will need to have already secured the easements authorizations as well as the signed applications from the property owners on whose property you will be completing the grading/retaining wall work. You will need to have the easement agreements in a format which is ready to record and note that before recordation Staff will send these agreements to the City Engineer for review. Also, you may wish to inquire with the Building & Safety Division if a safety railing will be required on top of the retaining wall, would would create a combination wall. If any portion of the wall is located in what is the front setback of any of the properties it traverses, a combination retaining wall and railing could potentially exceed the allowable height of 42" in the front setback. If no railing is needed, I believe a wall which has no freestanding portion may be allowed to exceed 42". You may wish to consult the Fence and Wall and Grading Sections of the code. Please see the links below for your convenience. It may also help to have an overall site plan which shows all property lines for the properties over which the wall will traverse. https://www2.municode.com/1ibrary/ca/rancho palos verdes/codes/code of ordinances?nodeld=TIT17ZO AR TVIIDEAPRE CH17.76MIPEST 17.76.030FEWAHE https://www2.municode.com/1ibrary/ca/rancho palos verdes/codes/code of ordinances?nodeld=TIT17ZO AR TVIIDEAPRE CH17.76MIPEST 17.76.040GRPE Please let me know if you have any additional questions at this time and note that a more complete review will be done when you submit the actual application.

However, please note that you if you still wish to place the guardrail for your own purposes, separate permits will be required by Planning. A combination wall (retaining plus freestanding) may be up to 8' in height per RPVMC Section 17.76.030.C.1.b.iii (link below), but to construct a combination wall over that height would require a Variance application for the portions of the wall within a front yard setback, and a Minor Exception Permit for the portions of the wall located within the side or rear yard setbacks. So, if the engineer can actually remove the guardrail details or keep them crossed out, that would be the best. I apologize for neglecting to mention that earlier.

Please see the attached PDF and note that the new easements will only be over the vacant lot and 2978 Crownview. No plans have been submitted which address the access for the vacant lot, i.e., I don't know if they will be asking to utilize a portion of the driveway on your lot as I think you have mentioned to me, or if they will be extending the retaining wall further across their property, or if they need to do some combination of the two. They would of course have to obtain authorization from you if they want to be able to utilize the driveway portion located on your lot. I'll call you today to discuss as well.

So it appears the only option would be to revise the plans to indicate that it will be rebuilt entirely on 2950 or remove the wall and show an engineered fill slope such that the upper wall does not exceed 4.5' in height from lowest finished grade, so that the total combination wall (4.5' retaining wall) plus guardrail (3.5') does not exceed 8' in height. Please see the revised redlines to reflect this change. Thank you.

Please correct Sheet S1 as needed. 3. Please note that per your application, it appears that 41 % lot coverage is being proposed. However, lot coverage in the RS -2 zone district may not exceed 40%. If you have already exempted one patio area of up to 500ft2 and any walkways of less than 5' in width to arrive at the proposed 41 % lot coverage total, you will need to revise the plans so the lot coverage does not exceed 40%. 4. Please provide the following project data information title page of the project plans (Sheet S1): A. Square footage of the lot B. Square footage of the residence and garage footprint C. Square footage of any balconies, decks over 30 inches, covered patios/trellises that extend beyond the residential footprint D. Square footage of the total (existing and new) driveway E. Square footage of all impervious surface areas (excluding one 500 square foot patio and 5 -foot walkways) F. Summation of B through E G. Percentage Lot Coverage (Total Lot Coverage (F) divided by Total Lot Area (A)) H. Please note the quantity of grading that is proposed (cut and/or fill) and the maximum depth of cut and/or fill. 5. Please show the 20' front setback on the site plan (Sheet S2). 6. Please provide the slope of the new portion of driveway, including the Fire Department turn -around on the site plan (Sheet S2). 7. Please revise the site plan to show the easement for "Ingress, Egress, Drainage and C-121 TriWest Homes II, LP June 2, 2016 Page 3 of 4 Public Utility Purposes" held by the Belmont Savings and Loan Association as well as William H. Chism and Terry J. Chism as shown on the attached tract map (detail at bottom left). 8. Please also provide documentation of authorization from all of the above entities allowing the proposed grading and driveway/turn-around work to occur within the aforementioned easement. 9. Please label the dashed line which extends across the north side of the property and angles down to the south-west near the proposed retaining wall. Please also label all other dashed lines which appear to be located within the street easement right-of-way on sheet S2. 10. Please provide top -of -wall (TW) and bottom -of -wall (BW) information every 5' on both sides of the retaining walls. You may wish to provide an additional enlarged drawing of the wall area, so that the added text is readable. 11. Please clearly label the existing contour lines and remove any numbers and/or labels associated with the previous development application that are not a part of the current application. 12. Please note that Staff will be checking with the Building & Safety Division to determine if a safety railing is required for the outer retaining wall. If a railing is required, this may trigger additional Planning Permit requirements. 13. Please clarify the location of some of the "CC" and "TW" measurements as the locations of the arrows indicating these measurements appear to be not properly located. 14. Please note that the heights (top -of -wall (TW) and bottom -of -wall (BW)) shown on site plan do not appear to match those listed on the "Retaining Wall Schedule" on Sheet S3. 15. Please note the top of all existing extreme slopes. Extreme slopes are defined as having a 35% or greater gradient.

However, that presents an issue because in Planning we look at combination walls (retaining plus free-standing) as a single wall if they are closer than 3 feet apart. Thus, you would have an approximately 12.5 foot tall wall in the front setback, which would require a Variance. However, if you can move the upper wall such that the entire length is at least three feet away from the lower wall (as measured from the closest surfaces), then they would be considered separate walls and a Variance would not be required. However, as we discussed, you still need to obtain written authorization from the entities listed in item No. 7 in the incomplete letter (or current easement holders) for the retaining walls, grading and flatwork. The wall must be three feet apart if guard rail is needed, otherwise a Variance will be required. But, if plantings are installed around edge of upper wall such that distance from walking surface to edge of wall is at least 3 feet, no guardrail needed. (See attached diagram.) These plantings would be a condition of approval for the planning permit. Please revise the plans before printing the copies to submit to planning. Thank you and please let me know if you have any questions.

Additionally, it would also be helpful if you could also summarize how all of the items have been addressed in letter format, as this will help staff expedite further reviews. If you have any questions, or would like to discuss your project in further detail, please feel free to contact me at (310) 544-5231, or via email at amys(�D_rpvca.gov. Sincerely, Amy Seeraty Associate Planner C-129 TriWest Homes II, LP June 2, 2016 Page 2 of 4 Cc: Cody Hall, 11601 Gorham Ave, Unit 21, Los Angeles, CA 90049 Ara Mihranian, Community Development Director So Kim, Senior Planner Project File Additional Information/Requirements: A preliminary review of the submitted application and associated materials has determined that the following additional information will be required in order to achieve project completeness of your project application. Upon submittal of a complete application, Staff will be able to continue processing your application for a final decision. (Please make all revisions permanent, penciled in revisions are not acceptable): Please change the title of the drawing under the "Scope of Work" on Sheet S1 and in the title box on Sheet S2 to "Grading Plan", not "Minor Grading Plan", as the required permit is actually a Major Grading Permit. 2. Please note that the owner of the property listed on Sheet S1 (Mapleton Advisors) is different than the property owner listed on the application (TriWest Homes Il, LP). Please correct Sheet S1 as needed. 3. Please note that per your application, it appears that 41 % lot coverage is being proposed. However, lot coverage in the RS -2 zone district may not exceed 40%. If you have already exempted one patio area of up to 500ft2 and any walkways of less than 5' in width to arrive at the proposed 41 % lot coverage total, you will need to revise the plans so the lot coverage does not exceed 40%. 4. Please provide the following project data information title page of the project plans (Sheet S1): A. Square footage of the lot B. Square footage of the residence and garage footprint C. Square footage of any balconies, decks over 30 inches, covered patios/trellises that extend beyond the residential footprint D. Square footage of the total (existing and new) driveway E. Square footage of all impervious surface areas (excluding one 500 square foot patio and 5 -foot walkways) F. Summation of B through E G. Percentage Lot Coverage (Total Lot Coverage (F) divided by Total Lot Area (A)) H. Please note the quantity of grading that is proposed (cut and/or fill) and the maximum depth of cut and/or fill. 5. Please show the 20' front setback on the site plan (Sheet S2). 6. Please provide the slope of the new portion of driveway, including the Fire Department turn -around on the site plan (Sheet S2). 7. Please revise the site plan to show the easement for "Ingress, Egress, Drainage and C-130 TriWest Homes II, LP June 2, 2016 Page 3 of 4 Public Utility Purposes" held by the Belmont Savings and Loan Association as well as William H. Chism and Terry J. Chism as shown on the attached tract map (detail at bottom left). 8. Please also provide documentation of authorization from all of the above entities allowing the proposed grading and driveway/turn-around work to occur within the aforementioned easement. 9. Please label the dashed line which extends across the north side of the property and angles down to the south-west near the proposed retaining wall. Please also label all other dashed lines which appear to be located within the street easement right-of-way on sheet S2. 10. Please provide top -of -wall (TW) and bottom -of -wall (BW) information every 5' on both sides of the retaining walls. You may wish to provide an additional enlarged drawing of the wall area, so that the added text is readable. 11. Please clearly label the existing contour lines and remove any numbers and/or labels associated with the previous development application that are not a part of the current application. 12. Please note that Staff will be checking with the Building & Safety Division to determine if a safety railing is required for the outer retaining wall. If a railing is required, this may trigger additional Planning Permit requirements. 13. Please clarify the location of some of the "CC" and "TW" measurements as the locations of the arrows indicating these measurements appear to be not properly located. 14. Please note that the heights (top -of -wall (TW) and bottom -of -wall (BW)) shown on site plan do not appear to match those listed on the "Retaining Wall Schedule" on Sheet S3. 15. Please note the top of all existing extreme slopes. Extreme slopes are defined as having a 35% or greater gradient. Items to Note / Miscellaneous Information: ■ Although not part of completeness review, Fire Department review may be required as part of the plan check process.

However, that area also cannot be counted as part of the total lot area. I have not completed a full review of these sets, as Palos Verdes Engineering simply had a couple questions for me regarding these plans before they printed them. However, I did already notice that it would be helpful for PV Engineering to show the northern boundary line of the ingress/egress easement on the attached plan, as it is difficult to tell where that easement ends, i.e., does it extend northward of the subject parcel property lines? If PV Engineering recalculates the lot coverage and it is still over the 40%, we will need to discuss that further. RPVDC Section 17.48.040: An open space area shall be provided on each lot with a residential structure. Open space area shall not include any portion of a lot or building site which is within the definition of lot coverage, as defined in Section 17.02.040(A). Lot coverage shall not exceed the maximum area requirements established in the district development standards (see Table 02-A in Chapter 17.02). For purposes of calculating lot coverage, a private street easement area shall not be considered a part of the lot area. For flag lots, the 'pole"portion of airy flag lot that is encumbered by an access easement benefiting another property shall not be considered a part of the lot area. In no case shall any hardscape or other improvements within a private street easement or a flag -lot 'pole"that is encumbered by an access easement be counted as lot coverage. In multiple family residential units, private outdoor decks and balconies with one minimum horizontal dimension ofseven feet which are designated for the exclusive use of the occupants of an individual unit may comprise up to thirtypercent of required open space. 50% Landsca i[inng in Front Yard Setback area: Again, I have not completed a formal review of these plans, but upon a cursory review of the attached clarified plan, it is clear now that quite a bit more of the front 20' setback is proposed to be paved. Please note that that Section 17.48.030.D of the RPVDC states: Single-family residential (RS) districts, except for driveways, paved walkways and parking areas, all of the required front and street -side setback areas shall be landscaped. In single-family residential (RS) districts, driveways, paved walkways and parking areas shall not cover more than fifty percent of the required front or street - side setback areas. Any pervious or semi -pervious surface which is part of or within a driveway or parking area shall not be considered to be landscaping. Additionally, Condition No. 14 of City Council Resolution 2007-63 (attached) states, "Maximum hardscape coverage within the 20 -foot front yard setback area shall not exceed 50%." Please also note that similar to the standards explained above for calculating the total lot coverage, the paved area of the ingress/egress easement does not count towards the lot coverage in this 20' front setback area, but it also cannot count towards the total square footage of this front setback area. If PV Engineering calculates the lot coverage in this front setback area and it is over 50%, we will need to discuss that as well. Plan Co Imes: Please note that we have a set of plans in the address file. It is five pages and will cost $5.00 per page to copy for a total of $25.00. Please let me know if you would like these pages and I will complete the copying and then let you know when they are ready to be picked up. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you.

Please see the diagram below for an illustration. Sheet S-2 It appears that the two new retaining walls are proposed in an area of extreme slope. However, it is still not clear if the Edge of Pavement (EP) is also the top of slope. It appears that the proposed grading will extend the flat area of the road towards the proposed retaining walls in one area, but in another area, the retaining wall appears to be extending into the roadway. You will need to clarify the location of the existing top of slope on the set that is submitted to Planning. Thank you and please let me know if you have any questions.

Pursuant to State Law, Staff has completed the review of your application within the prescribed 30 -day period. Unfortunately, due to missing information and/or inconsistencies between the project plans and submitted application, it has been determined that the application is incomplete. The attached list of Additional Information/Requirements details information that must be supplied and/or complied with before the City can deem your application complete and begin processing. Please be aware, as this project is processed, it may lead to a need to clarify or supply new information based upon staff's comments and your responses to staff. Please be advised, according to State law, once the additional information is submitted, a new 30 -day period in which to determine if the revised application is complete will commence. To help expedite this review, all of the information should be submitted at one time. Additionally, it would also be helpful if you could also summarize how all of the items have been addressed in letter format, as this will help staff expedite further reviews. If you have any questions, or would like to discuss your project in further detail, please feel free to contact me at (310) 544-5231, or via email at amys(a)_rpvca.gov. Sincerely, 4" Amy Seeraty Associate Planner Encl: Tract Map No. 28321 C-150 Cc: Tony Antich, via email Ara Mihranian, Community Development Director So Kim, Senior Planner Project File Additional Information/Requirements: A preliminary review of the submitted application and associated materials has determined that the following additional information will be required in order to achieve project completeness of your project application. Upon submittal of a complete application, Staff will be able to continue processing your application for a final decision. (Please make all revisions permanent, penciled in revisions are not acceptable): Thank you for listing additional information in the "Project Data Information" section on Sheet S1. However, on Sheet S1 it appears you have listed the "Square footage of balconies/decks/covered patios/trellises" as 417ft2. However, if there are none of the amenities, this number should be "0" and this 417ft2 should instead be listed under "Square footage of all impervious surface areas", with a note stating that it's exempted from the lot coverage total. 2. Thank you for revising the site plan to show the extent of the easement for "Ingress, Egress, Drainage and Public Utility Purposes" on Sheet S2 and including some of the easement description language. However, it appears that not all easement language found on Page 2 of the attached Tract Map No. 28321 was listed on the page. If the easement language below still applies, please add it to the plans. However, if the easement is no longer held by this easement holder, please provide Staff written evidence of this fact.

Additionally, please draw in the 20' front setback on the site plan (Sheet S2) such that it extends across the entire front of the property and label it as well. 4. Please also provide documentation of authorization from all of the entities still holding an easement over the subject property which allows the proposed grading and driveway/turn- around work to occur within the aforementioned easement. 5. Please correct the legend on Sheet S2, as it appears that the lines labeled as "design contour line" and "finish (design) grade elevation" represent the same thing, but it appears that only the line labeled "design contour line" appears to have the correct weight.

This is great to already have a proposal to address the wall deficiencies. I really appreciate the attention paid to this. Based on my review, I only have these few comments in order to approve them. Obtain soils engineer's approval Obtain Planning Department approval (Amy/Ara) Provide and show approved V ditch, French drain/gravel behind the walls, provide a cross section that shows both the upper and lower walls, and show the topo lines on the site plan. Lastly, what is the status of the walls in the front yard to help buttress the road and then get this project wrapped up?

Sincerely, 4" Amy Seeraty Associate Planner C-174 Cc: Triwest Development, LLC, P O BOX 9879, Marina Del Rey CA 90295-2279 Tony Antich, via email Ara Mihranian, Community Development Director So Kim, Senior Planner Project File Additional Information/Requirements: A preliminary review of the submitted application and associated materials has determined that the following additional information will be required in order to achieve project completeness of your project application. Upon submittal of a complete application, Staff will be able to continue processing your application for a final decision. (Please make all revisions permanent, penciled in revisions are not acceptable): Please provide documentation of authorization from all of the entities holding the existing easement over the subject property which allows the proposed grading, retaining walls, and driveway/turn-around work to be placed within the aforementioned easement. 2. Please provide a full scope of work, with list of the existing retaining walls to be removed (location, height and length), the proposed retaining walls, including a description of the maximum exposed heights and length for each wall, and the amount of grading (cut, fill and total) and maximum depths/heights of cut and fill. 3. As discussed at our meeting here at the City on Monday March 13th, please combine the plans for the new walls with the plans for the revised retaining walls adjacent to the garage which have already been reviewed by Planning Staff. As discussed, this will require that all pages be revised and additional detail pages of each wall will be required as well. 4. Please clarify the symbols in the legend for: a) the existing walls to remain, b) the existing walls to be removed and c) the new proposed walls. North-East Corner Retaining Wall(s): 5. Please clarify on this plan the location of the existing portions of walls proposed to be removed, as well as the location of the new wall(s). 6. Please show on the plans what is proposed for the area where the lower wall is being removed, as there will be earth which must be compacted into a new fill slope, or remain as retained earth with a new lower wall constructed. At the meeting yesterday, we also discussed that the Community Development Director has concerns with allowing a 7.76' tall exposed retaining wall to replace the two existing terraced walls in the north-east corner of the property. The Director has stated that he can most likely support the replacement of the existing terraced walls with two new terraced walls of similar height, or a fill slope, as long as the fill slope is designed to blend into the existing topography. 7. If two walls are proposed, please also indicate the distance between the walls and note that if they are located closer than 3' apart as measured from their closest points, they will be measured as a single wall. C-175 8. Please show top -of -wall and bottom -of -wall numbers for both sides of the proposed retaining wall in 5' or 10" increments along the wall and at both ends. 9. Please update Section No. 4 on sheet SN1 to reflect the revisions to the north-east corner retaining wall(s), ensuring that the second, lower retaining wall or fill slope and location of the property line is shown. South-West Retaining Wall: 10. Please show top -of -wall and bottom -of -wall numbers for both sides of the proposed retaining wall in 10' or 20' increments along the wall and at both ends. 11. Please extend the section lines through not only the proposed upper retaining wall but also the existing lower retaining wall and revise the sections accordingly. 12. It appears that the existing retaining wall along the west property line is being removed and replaced by this new wall. If that is the case, please indicate this on the plans. 13. Please show the existing and proposed contours for the proposed retaining wall. Items of Concern: ■ As discussed at our meeting yesterday, the Director has concerns with the two terraced retaining walls being removed and a 7.76' tall exposed retaining wall being reconstructed it its place. However, please see the above discussion of two acceptable alternatives. Items to Note / Miscellaneous Information: ■ Although not part of completeness review, Fire Department review may be required as part of the plan check process. Although Staff understands you may already be working with the Fire Department, please see their contact information. Below is the contact information: Fire Prevention Engineering 4475 W.

C-176 From: Amy Seeraty To: Cody Hall Subject: Railing at 2950 Crownview Date: Tuesday, July 12, 2016 5:26:00 PM Attachments: Incomplete (6-2-16M)df Diaaram.pdf Hi Cody - I just spoke with the Building Official and he said that a railing will be required at the upper retaining wall at the garage. However, that presents an issue because in Planning we look at combination walls (retaining plus free-standing) as a single wall if they are closer than 3 feet apart. Thus, you would have an approximately 12.5 foot tall wall in the front setback, which would require a Variance. However, if you can move the upper wall such that the entire length is at least three feet away from the lower wall (as measured from the closest surfaces), then they would be considered separate walls and a Variance would not be required. However, as we discussed, you still need to obtain written authorization from the entities listed in item No. 7 in the incomplete letter (or current easement holders) for the retaining walls, grading and flatwork. The wall must be three feet apart if guard rail is needed, otherwise a Variance will be required. But, if plantings are installed around edge of upper wall such that distance from walking surface to edge of wall is at least 3 feet, no guardrail needed. (See attached diagram.) These plantings would be a condition of approval for the planning permit. Please revise the plans before printing the copies to submit to planning. Thank you and please let me know if you have any questions.
