PUBLIC HEARING: PAGE 2 L2AFT PLANNING COMMISSION 7.1 Development Review No 2007-12 and Minor Variance No. 2007-02 — Under the authority of Development Code Section 22.48 and 22.52, this was a request to construct a 6,753 square foot, three-story single-family residence with an attached 968 square foot garage. The Minor Variance request was to reduce the required front yard setback from 30 feet to 24 feet. The subject property is zoned RR (40,000) and contains 50,965 gross square feet (1.17 acres) of land area. PROJECT ADDRESS: 2690 Indian Creek Road Diamond Bar, CA 91765 PROPERTY OWNER: APPLICANT: Slobodan and Branka Batricevich 2656 Indian Creek Road Diamond Bar, CA 91765 Simon Shum, AIA S&W Development, Inc. 20272 Carrey Road Walnut, CA 91789 PC/Meyer presented staff's report and recommended Planning Commission approval of Development Review No. 2007-12 and Minor Variance No. 2007-02, based on the Findings of Fact, and subject to the conditions of approval as listed within the resolution. PC/Meyer reiterated to C/Lee that the building envelope follows the finish grade. He again pointed out the area using the three-dimensional plan and further indicated that it complies with the City's standard 35 feet measurement from finished grade. C/Nolan asked if a reduction of the building footprint was considered in place of reducing the front yard setback and PC/Meyer stated that the house is comparatively smaller than surrounding dwellings and the code provides for the minor deviation due to the steepness of the slope which would require additional retaining walls and would impact protected onsite trees. Staff felt that overall, the excellent design offered less negative impact to the lot. JUNE 10, 2008 PAGE 3 G IAT PLANNING COMMISSION Chair/Nelson commented that the three dimensional photos were most helpful and were very well done. He suggested staff retain copies to show as examples to other applicants. There were no ex parte disclosures. Chair/Nelson opened the public hearing.

PK Development 2739 Steeplechase Lane Diamond Bar, CA 91765 PT/Alvarez presented staff's report and recommended Planning Commission approval of Development Review No. 2008-09 and Tree Permit No. 2008-02, Findings of Fact, and subject to conditions of approval as listed within the resolution. C/Nolan asked if it was commonplace to bring a project before the Commission before the laundry list was corrected. PM/Gubman said it was at the pleasure of the Commission to ask that the project be brought back with revisions. The project was approved in 2002 without revisions. Staff is looking at the project from a 2008 perspective and has identified certain design issues that are relatively minor in issue and can be addressed during plan check. Staff asks that the Commission defer these items to staff to assist the designer to address the comments. Chair/Nelson said he was concerned about these types of projects because it resides immediately adjacent to a large natural open space area and the landscape plan does not speak to the use of non-invasive plants. He would be comfortable leaving it to staff with staffs assurance that no invasive plants would be allowed. He agreed with C/Nolan that it would be helpful for the Commission to be given copies of the landscape plans. PM/Gubman assured the Commission that resources were available to staff to ensure use of proper materials. There were no ex parte disclosures. Chair/Nelson opened the public hearing. With no one present who wished to speak on this item, Chair/Nelson closed the public hearing. C/Lee moved, C/Shah seconded, to approve Development Review No. 2008-09 and Tree Permit 2008-02, Findings of Fact, and conditions of approval as listed within the resolution.

PROPERTY OWNERS: Patricia Gagne 230 Lois Street La Habra, CA 90631 APPLICANTS: Pinnacle Building Structure 1840 Whittier Blvd. #206 La Habra, CA 90631 STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Conditional Approval BACKGROUND: A. Site Description: The site is located in the Diamond Bar "Country Estates" and fronts on Rusty Spur Road, which is a fully improved private street. The property is located at the end of a cul-de-sac and is a triangular shaped vacant lot containing 2.17 gross acres (94,525 sq. ft.) of land area. The site is legally described as Lot 111 of Tract No. 30091, and the Assessor Parcel Number is 8713-031-014. The site contains a six (6) foot wide easement along the west (side) property line for Los Angeles County sanitary sewer purposes B. Proiect Description: The applicant requests approval of development plans forthe construction of a three-story, single-family estate dwelling unit of approximately 6,587 square feet with an attached, 765 square -foot, 4 -car garage. The proposed dwelling unit contains five bedrooms and seven bathrooms. The applicant indicated that upon approval of the proposed project the plans will then be submitted to the Diamond Bar Country Estates Homeowners Association for review and consideration. The plans contain a "junk kitchen" on the lower level which is permitted under Diamond Bar Development. Code Section 22.16.140 — Second Kitchen. The lower level is situated so that a private entrance is not feasible, and the applicant has indicated that this lower level is not to be utilized as a second dwelling or a guesthouse. The submitted plans delineate a 20 -foot wide driveway in the front setback area, and the drive approach is shown to be at least 20 feet in width at the property line. The maximum allowable driveway width at the property line is 14 feet (DBDC Section 22.30.080(5)(a)(3)). Staff has incorporated into the attached Resolution a condition of approval that requires the final driveway design to comply with the City's requirement that it be not greater than 14 feet wide at the property line. This condition of approval requires that the revised design be reviewed and approved by staff prior to the issuance of a graying permit or building permit. The applicant submitted an arborist report that indicates the existence of two (2) Black Walnut Tree, a protected species in the City, within the building pad area on the subject property, described in the report as Tree 1 and Tree 4. Tree 1 has been evaluated and deemed to be in "good" health, with a trunk size of 4-6 inches, and a height and canopy spread of 15-15 feet. Due to the overall good health of the tree it will remain in place and be protected during construction. Tree 4 is the same size as the first tree but has been evaluated as being in "fair" health and is proposed to be removed from the site. Diamond Bar Development Code Section 22.38.130 requires that the removed protected trees shall be replaced at a ratio of 3:1 and that the replacement trees shall be 24 -inch box. An arborist hired by the applicant shall specify the appropriate measure to protect Tree 1 in place, which shall be incorporated into the grading places. The removal of the Black Walnut will require Page 2 DR 2007-31 replacement with three (3) new Black Walnuts, with a minimum box size of 24 inches. See the Analysis section of this staff report for further discussion of the proposed landscape plan. ANALYSIS: A.

Site and Grading: The site steeply slopes in a southerly direction. The proposed building pad is located at the top of the slope and it has a commanding view of the surrounding area. The average slope of the site is 37%. Due to the extreme downward sloping of the property, 7 -foot high retaining walls are proposed to reduce the number of retaining walls needed to provide the required 25 -foot rear yard area. The applicant indicates that the proposed project will require 334.37 cubic yards of cut, and 547.17 cubic yards of fill, resulting in 212.80 cubic yards of material to be imported to the site. 3. Elevations: The architectural style is a contemporary eclectic design with concrete the roof treatment, smooth stucco walls, stone veneer, stone window and door surrounds, and multi -paned windows. The applicant has provided HOA approved color samples which call for earth -toned shades for the exterior finish to soften the buildings visual impact and assist in preserving the hillside's aesthetic value. 4. Landscaping: The subject property is located within the Los Angeles County Fire Department "Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone." Therefore, the proposed landscaping must comply with the Fire Department's Fuel Modification Plan requirements. The submitted preliminary landscape plan indicates that the future landscaping will comply with the Fire Department's regulations and guidelines. The preliminary landscape plan indicates that 18 new trees will be planted on site. The size of the new trees will range from 15 -gallon to 24 -inch box. In addition to the proposed trees the applicant will be required to plant three new 24 -inch box Black Walnut trees to replace the one proposed for removal. The applicant indicates that over 56% of the required front yard area will be landscaped with plant material. The four tiered retaining walls and slopes at the east side and rear of the property will be fully landscaped to screen the retaining wall. Plant types proposed in these areas and throughout the front yard area are drought tolerant non-invasive plant species such as Indian Page 4 DR 2007-31 Hawthorn, Star Jasmine, Rosemary, New Zealand Flax and Autumn Sage. D. Compliance with Hillside Management Ordinance The proposed project has been reviewed for compliance with the City's Hillside Management Design Guidelines and regulations. Section 22.22.120(x)(1) of the Diamond Bar Municipal Code establishes a height limit of 35 feet as measured from the finished grade to the highest ridge beam. The submitted grading plans include several cross sections to demonstrate that the proposed structure will comply with the City's maximum building height requirements. E. Additional Review The Public Works Division and the Building and Safety Division reviewed this project. Their comments are included in both the report and the recommended conditions of approval. F. General Plan, Design Guidelines and Compatibility with Neighborhood The proposed project complies with the goals and objectives as set forth in the adopted General Plan in terms of land use and density. The proposed project will not negatively affect the existing surrounding land uses, and the design and appearance of the proposed dwelling unit is compatible with the existing neighborhood. NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING: Public hearing notices were mailed to property owners within a 500 -foot radius of the project site and the notice was published in the San Gabriel Valley Tribune and the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin newspapers. A notice display board was posted at the site, and a copy of the legal notice was posted at the City's designated community posting sites. ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT: The City has determined that this project is categorically exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Sections 15303 (new construction of a single-family dwelling) and 15332 (infill construction) of the CEQA Guidelines.
