A"No impact" answer is adequately supported If the referenced Information sources show that the Impact simply does not apply to projects like the one involved (e. g. the project falls outside a fault rupture zone). A "No Impact" answer should be explained where it is based on project-spectfic factors as well as general standards (e.. g. the project will not expose sensitive receptors to pollutants, based on a project -specific screening analysis). 2 j All answers roust tape account of the whole action Involved, including off-slte as well as on-site, cumulative as well as project -level, indirect as well as direct, and construction as well as operational Impacts, 3) "Potentially Significant Impact' is appropriate If there Is substantial evidence that an affect is significant. If there are one or more "Potentially Significant Impact" entries when the determination is made, an EIR is required. 4) "Potentially Significant Unless Mitigation Incorporated" applies where the incorporation of mitigation measures has reduced an effect from "Potentially Significant impact" to a "l=ess than Significant Impact."

Typical pervious surfaces include: grass, gravel, concrete pavers, and some specially designed asphalts. Hillside means property where the slope Is 25% or greater and where grading contemplates cut or fill slopes, Redevelopment means land -disturbing activity that results in the creation, addition, or replacement of 5,000 square feet or more of impervious surface area on an already developed site. Redevelopment includes, but is not limited to: the expansion of a building footprint; addition or replacement of a structure; replacement of impervious surface area that is not part of a routine maintenance activity; and land disturbing activities related to structural or impervious surfaces. It does not include routine maintenance to maintain original line and grade, hydraulic capacity, or original purpose of facility, nor does it include modifications to existing single family structures, or emergency construction activities required to immediately protect public health and safety. Environmentally Sensitive Areas ESAs means an area in which plant or animal life or their habitats are either rare or especially valuable because of their special nature or role in an ecosystern and which would be easily disturbed or degraded by human activities and developments. Also, an area designated by the City as approved by the Regional Water Quality Control Board.

'Western Avenue CUP 155 Dear Joel: I have completed the application For an amendment to the CUP # 155 for Green Hills Memorial Paris and am submitting the same for consideration and approval. I have also enclosed a grading application which you have requested. Since this Grading application is not for anyone, specific building but an overall grading application I have answered the questions generally and not specific to anyone development. Attached to this application are copies of plans which show the Plat Map for Green Hills, which have identified existing buildings, together with: proposed footprints for future Mausoleum developments. Some of these locations are not changed from the original CUP which was approved, Others have been relocated based upon the Remediation which occurred and for which a grading plan was issued by the City of Rancho Palos Verdes. In this grading plan and the requirements for the Remediation no building could be construction over the liner or in those areas which were not compacted. The Rancho Palos Verdes building pennit provided that no building could be built in liner area and all building pads in those locations were relocated. These footprints do not exceed the original size of the footprints which were previously approved. I have also enclosed the information from the Clayton Environmental Consultants pertaining, to completion of the Revised Remedial Action Plan which clarifies the requirement for placing a 10 - foot buPFer of clean soil over the liner (Memo's and Letters from Clayton). This procedure followed the RAP as issued and building permit issued by theRancho Palos Verdes Bccilding Department. I have also enclosed letters from the County of Los Angeles Fire Department, Site Mitigation Unit pertaining to the requirements of the cap over the liner. The new proposed grading plan takes into consideration the 10 foot cap and drainage on the property. This proposed grading plan is consistent with the previous plana as approved by the City of Rancho Palos Verdes in the original application on the CUP taking into consideration the requirement of the County of Los Angeles Fire Departments requirements, 27501 South Avenue - LA l 'I DEN 4 96 City of Rancho Palos Verdes Planning Department February 19, 2003 Page Two The following, are answers to the issues set forth in Kit Fox's letter dated December 19, 2002: Green Hills is requesting an amendment to the CLIP which would allow importation of sail into the site in excess of the 5000 cubic yards previously granted. This request for importation would cover previous imported soil, which was imported to comply with LARWQCB requirements to -channel storm water runoff- The violations have been rectified and it is the belief that Green Hills is in compliance with LARWQCB and NPDES requirements. The LARWQt:B violation was for not having a new plan for storm water runoff after the partial completion of the remediation of the site. Since 10 feet of soil was not placed over the litter Green Hills did not prepare a new plan but such plan has been completed and submitted to the appropriate authorities. Since all sail has not been placed over the protective liner a complete resolution of the project could not be completed and all storm water could not be diverted without soil, The soil which was imported, (approximately 1,500 cubic yards) was placed over the protective liner to divert the storm water run off so that it didn't drain into the neighbors property nor did it drain into the County Storni Drains carrying silt. I have attached a storm water plan which has been submitted to the appropriate agencies and has been implemented at Green Hills Memorial Park. In the development of Green Hills Memorial Park and its daily operations, Green Hills digs individual Grave sites and also places vaults in the ground for future interment. When each grave site is dug, approximately 7.1 cubic yards of soil is removed, A portion of that soil is then returned to fill the site, which amount is based upon the type of out burial container and the number of interment place in each .grave site, State Law requires that a minimum of 18 inches of soil be placed over each burial unit. On a yearly basis, Green Hills handles approximately 2000 interments of which approximately 1600 are ground burials. This sail is then relocated in the undeveloped areas of Green .Hills and is then compacted, consistent with the master plan for development. If all the area of Green Hills Memorial Park were used for ground burials the total volume of Grave soil that would be removed and replaced would be approximately 22.0,000 cubic yards of sail. In the completion of the requirement of the RAP and the building permit granted by the City of Rancho Palos Verdes, a requirement exists to place 10 feet of soil over the liner. In order to bury over the liner, Green Hills would have to generate sail sufficient to cover the liner and then remove the soil for burials:. At the present time Green Hills dries not have sufficient soil nor does it generate sufficient soil quickly enough to cover the liner within a reasonable time as set forth in the assurances to the City of Los Angeles, Fire Department and then be able to bury remains on LATE CORRESPONDENCE 97 City of Rancho Pales Verdes Planning Department February 19, 2003 Page 3 this site. In a neighborly gesture, Green Hills has stated to Rolling Hills Covenant Church that if the City of Rolling Hills Estates and the City of Rancho .Palos Verdes would consent that they would be willing to accept approximately 20,000 cubic yards of sandy material form the proposed new development project to Green Hills if appropriately compensated so that Green Hills could meet the requirements of covering the liner and work the material without cost or expense or detriment to Green Hills. A copy of the letter is attached hereto for your review. As for the soil which was previously imported from a site on Western Avenue, No contaminated material was imported for the Instorage Site. All material was examined and tested and an independent laboratory (Wayne Perry, Inc.) has indicated that no contaminated soil was imported to Green Hills, A copy of the report has been provided to the City previously and is included in this request for an amendment to the CUP. All requirements of LARWQCB and NPDES have been addressed and a plan is in existence which brings Green Hills into compliance with the Storni Water Runoff requirements, Green Hills will continue to amend the plan as required to stay in compliance with all requirements of LARWQCB and NPDES, Such a plan is an ever-changing plan as soil is moved over the site and until the completion of the covering of the liner a permanent plan cannot be completed and submitted, In addition to the Crave .Dirt which has been estimated at approximately at 220,000 cubic yards of cut and fill over the life of the park. Green Hills is seeking the approval for an additional 70,000 Cubic yards of Cut and Fill, This cut and fill would be for the completion of the building of Mausoleum building on the pads as outlined in the plan submitted. The; sites which would generate the majority of the cuts are the building of below ground Mausoleum in the following locations, One being the area known as Pacifica Mausoleum, which has been previously approved and Green Hills, in this application is requesting an amendment to the CUP which would allow for the underground building; of Mausoleum up to the property line in this location, As for all other requirements they would be consistent with those requirements of the previous CUP pertaining to above ground setbacks. In addition, Green Hills is requesting in this application the approval to build an Under Ground Mausoleum in that area known as Court of Devotion, consistent with the present Mausoleum at that location_ Of these buildings, neither would have any impact on any view corridors nor would they be inconsistent with the present developments of the area. The remainder of the 70,000 cubic yards of Cut and Fill would be for the development of other .Mausoleum on and throughout the site, LATE CORRESPONDENCE 98 City of Rancho Palos Verdes Planning Department February 19, 2003 Page Four A Radius Map and Property Owners List is being prepared by Elizabeth Srour, of Srour and Associates and will be submitted forthwith, As of this date these property lists were not available but will be submitted forthwith. Please accept this application without the Radius Map and Property Owners List as such is in the process of being; completed. In summary, Green Hills, in this application is looking to amend the COUP in the following manner: To approve the new grading plait as submitted (Please refer to the Map which is attached), To pillow for the previous importation and possible future importation of soil, in the amount of approximately 22WO%ubic yards; For the approval of the footprints for future mausoleums to be built on the site (as set forth in the attached Flan), For the movement of soil both for graves under a master grading plan without the requirement for obtaining grading permits for interment and the placement of vaults and burials and for cut and fill volumes for fixture developments (for a total cut and fill for grave sail in. the amount of 220,000 and for Buildings of 70,000 cultic yards of soil). Other than those items above listed Green hills is requesting that no changes be made to any of the other requirements and conditions of the Original CUP roar the requirements or conditions to any amendments to the CUP previously granted. It is the belief of Green Hills that as for an Environmental Impact Report thatt this application does not require such a report as it is a Negative Declaration.

Although I wrote most of it, I cannot claim sole authorship of all the language included, as much of it came from other pre-existing documents that part of the public record, some dating back to the original 1991 Master Plan approval, and some as recent as letters between the City Attorney and counsel for Green Hills regarding the current appeal. I was not involved in any way with the 2007 processing of the Green Hills Master Plan Revision, which resulted in the construction of the Memorial/Pacific Terrace Mausoleum. I only became involved in the 2014 Master Plan Compliance Review in August 2014 when Green Hills and the Vista Verde Condominium association were unable to come to an agreement regarding the burials taking place on the roof of the Mausoleum. During that point in the project's history, I did speak with both Joel and Eduardo about the Mausoleum, I attended the Planning Commission meetings that took place between August and November 2014, and reviewed the staff reports before they were issued during this same period of time. I also initiated the personnel investigation last year, which is currently in process. Generally, I don't find it to be good practice to take disciplinary action until all of the facts are known and the accused have a chance to answer any specific charges. As is evident by the information included in the January 20th staff report, the facts surrounding this case are very complex and multi -faceted. It has taken a great deal of effort to assemble the narrative. However, I will repeat again that neither Joel or Eduardo were consulted or contributed to the January 20th staff report in any way, except for the inclusion of documents they prepared or processed, which were already part of the public record before I began work on the report. I independently verified information from the prior reports based on my review of the plans and documents as well as the compliance review that was performed by the Lilley Planning Group.

I would like to correct your assertion that the January 20th staff report "is written by the staff being investigated and who participated in all the conduct that caused the City to be in this situation in the first place." in fact, my name is on the staff report, and it was not written, reviewed, or contributed to in any way by the staff involved in either the 2007 Master Pian Revision or the 2014 Compliance Review of the Green Hills project. Sincerely, From: sharon yarber [mailto:momofyago@gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, January 15, 2015 9:30 PM To: CC; Carolynn Petru Subject: Green Hills Dear Mayor Knight and Members of the City Council, The threshold question that needs to be addressed when the appeal by Green Hills comes before you is whether Green Hills is an innocent party entitled to rely on the approvals granted by the City's Planning Commission and staff, or was it somehow complicit with members of the staff in circumventing our ordinances and procuring approvals that should never have been granted based on false and/or misleading information provided to the staff and/or Planning Commission by Green Hills. The answer to that question will come from the results of an independent investigation. There is allegedly an independent investigation being conducted by an outside investigator retained by the City. What are the results of that investigation? When will the Council and the public find out the results of this taxpayer funded inquiry? If Green Hills is innocent of any wrongdoing and has "clean hands" then the decisions rendered through a probably flawed process are irreversible and steps will need to be taken by the City to LATE CORRESPONDENCE 102 compensate the owners of the adjacent condominiums for the wrong that our staffs ineptitude caused. If Green Hills participated in any wrongdoing then it is not entitled to any relief before this body and the mausoleum in question should be ordered moved and Green Hills can suffer the consequences. Until that investigation is concluded and the results made public, you are not in a position to decide what action to take. The staff report is unreliable as it is written by the staff being investigated and who participated in all the conduct that caused the City to be in this situation in the first place. I have read many a staff report and have never seen such a finger pointing, cover my ass report in my life. It is worthless and not to be relied upon. It is self-serving and devoid of credibility. So the bottom line for me is this. First, a few heads need to roll because either our staff is corrupt or inept, neither of which is tolerable or acceptable. Second, you need to delay taking action on this matter until a full and complete investigation by the independent investigator is concluded and the results disclosed. Only then will you know which direction to pursue and whether Green Hills is entitled to any relief from this body.

Friedman Subject: Green Hills Dear City Representatives, Green Hills has now held another funeral today. By my count, this is the 3rd one they've held since the Planning Commission motion and the 2nd one this week. I thought the intent of the PC's motion was very clear. The intent was to save more individuals and families from being involved in this situation until the City Council had a chance to a decision on it. I want to make it very clear that the "mitigation measures" which Green Hills has forced upon us don't mitigate anything at all. Their tiny, ugly retractable screens don't block anything from view. The impacts from operations and activities from the Area 11 Mausoleum are so adverse on our community that there are no operational changes that can effectively mitigate them. If the City Council meeting on this subject is postponed it appears that Green Hills will continue to draw more innocent families into this situation. If the meeting is postponed then the Moratorium needs to be enforced. Can I get an explanation as to why the Moratorium isn't being enforced?

Lynch <CLynch@rwglaw.com> Friday, January 16, 2015 7:39 PM 'Ellen Berkowitz' CC Green Hills Appeal In recent communications from you, including the letter that you sent to the City Council yesterday, you have alleged a denial of due process regarding the Green Hills appeal. You have incorrectly asserted that the same individuals who advised the Planning Commission in 2007 are advising the City Council regarding the appeal from the Planning Commission's decision regarding the annual review, which was completed in November. I disagree with many of the statements in your correspondence for several reasons, which are set forth below. First and foremost, neither Carolynn Petru nor I had anything to do with the hearings that occurred in 2007 in connection with the Green Hills Master Plan. Neither Carolynn nor I attended those hearings or provided any advice to the Planning Commission in 2007 about the Green Hills Master Plan. Thus, to the extent that Staff did or did not properly advise the Commission in 2007, neither Carolynn nor I were involved and are not, as you suggest, covering our own alleged misdeeds. You have asserted that Staff, including Carolynn and myself, should have advised the Commission that a variance was required for the Mausoleum in 2007; however, Carolynn and I did not render advice about that issue, since we were not even aware of the approvals that were issued by the Commission to Green Hills. Second, you appear to incorrectly assume that Eduardo Schonborn and Joel Rojas were involved in preparing the staff report for the City Council appeal hearing. However, neither Joel nor Eduardo drafted or reviewed the staff report that Carolynn prepared for the City Council in connection with the appeal. Furthermore, as you know, Carolynn retained the Lilley Planning Group to independently conduct a review of the facts in connection with the compliance review that was requested by the Planning Commission. Thus, Carolynn has endeavored to ensure that the facts that were presented recently to the Planning Commission and to the City Council on appeal are complete, accurate and impartial. You also assert that the ruling in the Nightlife Partners case requires that a different law firm advise the City Council in connection with the appeal. In Nightlife, the court ruled that it was impermissible for the attorney, who advised staff and determined that an application to renew a permit was incomplete, to advise the hearing officer in the appeal from the staff's determination. The court found that the attorney had taken on an advocate's role regarding the determination that the application was incomplete, so that it was not proper for him to provide procedural advice to the hearing officer who heard the appeal. While I believe that the facts in Nightlife are distinguishable from my role of providing advice to the Planning Commission about the annual review of the operation of Green Hills, which would be the same advisory role that I would provide to the Council during the appeal hearing, I do not believe that it is productive for the City Council to have to address an issue that will distract from the real issues raised by the appeal. Accordingly, I have consulted with Carolynn, and she has retained a land use attorney from another law firm to attend the City Council hearings regarding the Green Hills appeal so that he can provide advice to the City Council regarding the appeal.

This was a group of approximately 20 mourners who arrived this morning at 8:30 AM to visit their gravesite on rooftop of the Pacific Terrace Mausoleum. I only captured about 45 seconds of the visit, they were there approximately 20 minutes or so. Visits can last up to 1-2 hours at at time. Please know, I am in no way saying these mourners should not be here; my point is again, this is the kind of intrusiveness that occurs both for the mourners and the Vista Verde residents when visitations occur at graves. Mourners can visit from "dusk until dawn ", during park hours. I was just about to sit at my usual window to have coffee and read the paper when the group arrived. They can't help but look at and into our condominiums, several balconies are quite close to the area. I also want to share my experience with two funerals that have taken place on January 9 and January 16 on the rooftop of the mausoleum. I believe you have already seen pictures from our vantage point. The first one on January 9 began at 10:30 AM with the privacy screens erected and the grave being dug. It ended at approximately 2:40 PM when the last mourners left. I do not know when the screens were removed. The second one on January 16, I was only at home to see the screens erected at approximately 11 am. The grave was dug the day before on January 15, again with screens erected and removed. 1 LATE CORRESPONDENCE 109 We are assuming these are "companion" graves, but who is to really know? Due the moratorium on rooftop burials placed by the Planning Commission, except for "companion" plots, I hope there is a process in place to assure this is the case. Since these were the first funerals we have experienced since the moratorium was placed, it was disturbing to me to feel the strong reactions that welled up in me when the first preparations started on January 9. Feelings of anxiety and disappointment and reminders of all the negativity these ceremonies bring into our lives. Now, I have had a family member diagnosed with an incurable illness, which now makes being forced to view these ceremonies even more aggregous and unbearable. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Debbie <dlbodesi@gmail.com> Date: Sun, Jan 18, 2015 at 10:58 AM Subject: To: Landes Debbie <dlbodesiggmail.com> Sent from my iPhone LATE CORRESPONDENCE 110 From: Sharon Loveys <sharon.loveys@yahoo.com> Sent: Sunday, January 18, 2015 11:44 AM To: Carolynn Petru; CC; B.campbell@cox.net Subject: Cameras Attachments: photo.JPG; ATT00001.txt This is at the bottom of hill north/ west between cemetery and now metropolitan Water District, as church property ends.
