HOLD HARMLESS AGREEMENT - Director Hightower presented the staff report APPLICANT: HARRY NELSON of October 6, 1981 which explained this proposal LOCATION: 32215 SCHOONER DR to enclose an existing patio in a home located (1801) in the Klondike Canyon slide area. Due to the small scale of the project, it would be permitted provided the applicant record a Hold Harmless agreement. The applicant, however, does not want to record the agreement because it may cloud title to his property. Instead, he has provided staff with a revised agreement. The City Attorney has not expressed any concerns with the revised agreement itself, but felt that the issue of recording is a policy decision that should be decided by the Council. Staff recommended that the applicant record an agreement approved by the City Attorney. The applicant, Harry Nelson, 32215 Schooner, explained to the Council what will happen when such a document is recorded and how this will affect any loans that might be made on the property. Council told Mr. Nelson there was some question whether or not all of Schooner would be included in the slide area when the final determination of the eastern boundary is made. After discussion of whether it would be appropriate to accept and not file such an agreement until this boundary is established, what would happen with such an agreement if the property is sold, and the extent of the remodeling to be done by Mr. Nelson, Councilman Dyda moved, seconded by Councilwoman Shaw and carried that the City Attorney prepare an agreement which says that should this property be included in the Klondike Canyon Slide area then the hold harmless agreement signed by Mr. Nelson will be automat- ically recorded; if the property is sold, the purchaser must sign a similar agreement, otherwise this agreement will be automatically recorded. ORDINANCE NO. 141 - LOS ANGELES Director Hightower presented the October 6, 1981 COUNTY BUILDING & PLUMBING CODES staff report and a letter from the Building & (201) Safety Division of the County recommending that the City adopt the subject codes which include the 1979 revisions to the Uniform Building and Plumbing Codes that were adopted by the County. One change of particular concern to the City involves roofing materials. Currently the City permits unrated roofing materials. Section 3203 (f) of the new code requires wood shake and shingle roofing be treated to provide a prescribed fire retardancy as recommended by the Fire Department. The City may wish to study the different types of roofing materials further to ascertain whether a more restrictive standard is desirable in the City, however in the meantime the County standard should be implemented. Staff recommended that the Council adopt the drafted ordinance necessary to adopt the Building and Plumbing Codes by reference. After discussion of the class of shake currently required by the City, if different ratings could be required in various parts of the City, the amount of study already done by staff and the Planning Commission on this subject, Councilwoman Shaw moved to waive further reading and INTRODUCE ORDINANCE NO. 141 OF THE CITY OF RANCHO PALOS VERDES ADOPTING BY REFERENCE THE LOS ANGELES COUNTY BUILDING CODE, 1981 EDITION, AND THE LOS ANGELES COUNTY PLUMBING CODE, 1981 EDITION, MAKING AMENDMENTS TO SAID CODE, AND AMENDING THE RANCHO PALOS VERDES MUNICIPAL CODE. The motion carried unanimously. Councilman Dyda moved, seconded by Councilwoman Shaw and carried that the Planning Commission should continue this study on roofing.
