It has come to our attention that your property is currently for sale and I would like to take this
opportunity to remind you that there are violations on your property that need to be resolved.
Having a violation on the property will limit the Association's ability to sign off on any new
construction and should be disclosed to potential buyers during escrow.
The following is the list of violations we have for the property:
• Unpermitted pool house with rooftop deck,
• Unpermitted fence and replacement vegetation in roadside easement, 2010
• Unpermitted replacement fence in westerly easement that encroaches into neighboring
property, 2011
• Shed that was repaired & possibly enlarged in westerly easement that encroaches into
neighboring property, 2011
• Unpermitted fence in easterly easement that encroaches into neighboring property
(unclear whether or not it was replaced at the time of westerly fence replacement),
• Unpermitted grading and new retaining wall on lower portion of property, 2006/2007
• Unpermitted trellises around residence, 2008-2011
To resolve the architectural violations, please submit "as -built" plans and photos of the new
construction for Architectural Committee review. Architectural Committee meetings are held on
the first and third Tuesday of each month. Please submit plans and a completed Application for
Plan Check by the Thursday prior to the date of the meeting.
To resolve the easement violations, you may relocate all the easement encroachments to
outside the easement, remove the items completely or you may request a license agreement from
the Board of Directors to use that portion of the easement and maintain those items in the
easement.

To apply for a license agreement, please fill out the enclosed application for license agreement
review. It is also helpful to submit photos or even a survey of your property with the location of
encroachments indicated. Please submit the completed application and any related documents to
the Association office by the Thursday prior to the meeting. Board meetings are held on the first
and third Thursday of each month.
Once the Board receives your request, they will schedule a field trip to view the property.
Property and easement lines must be staked at this time. Following the field trip, your request
will be placed on the next agenda for discussion and possibly a decision. It is always helpful that
you or your representative is present at both the field trip and the Board meeting. If a license
agreement is granted, the homeowner is responsible for the legal and recording fees for the
license (approximately $450) as well as $250 administrative fee that is charged for as -built or as -
planted conditions. There is no fee if the fence and vegetation are removed from the easement.
Enclosed is copy of the Application for License Agreement Review, the Association's easement
guidelines and policies, a copy of Resolution 192 "Granting Licenses for Use of Easements", a
copy of the Application for Plan Check and the RHCA Building Regulations regarding sheds.
Please feel welcome to contact the Association office with any questions you may have about
this letter.
Sincerely,
Kathryn BisfYp

Thank you for allowing Rafael Bernal, Los Angeles County Department of Building and
Safety Inspector and me inspect the cabana. As per the Inspector's requirements, you
must obtain a plumbing, electrical and gas permit for the work done on the cabana and
the fireplace. Please obtain these Hermits by THURSDAY. MARCH 1. 2007. In
addition, after you resolve the roof issue with the Rolling Hills Community Association,
you will be required to obtain a roof and windows change out permit. We will get back to
you on the pool retrofit requirements for the anti -entrapment device.
We have also observed that the eave lights on the cabana need to be changed to
maximum 40 watts each. I am enclosing a copy of the City's Lighting Ordinance for your
reference. Please assure that all the lights on your property adhere to these standards.
I have also notices some dirt movement/slope cut on your property. Please be advised
that pursuant to the City's Building Code, with some exceptions, any cut into the hill of 3
feet or higher, any fill of dirt of 3 feet or higher OR disturbance of dirt consisting of
2,000 square feet or more of surface area is considered grading and require permission
from the Planning Commission, under a Site Plan Review process, (public hearing), and a
grading permit. Should the work exceed these thresholds, please contact the City for
instructions on how to file a request for a Site Plan Review. In addition, any walls on a
property exceeding 3 feet in height require Site Plan Review approval. I am enclosing a
copy of the pertinent code sections for grading.
Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call me at (310) 377-1521.
Thank you for your cooperation.

ANORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF ROLLING HILLS
ESTABLISHING OUTDOOR LIGHTING STANDARDS AND
AMENDING TITLE 17 (ZONING) OF THE ROLLING HILLS
MUNICIPAL CODE
ORDINANCE NO. 287
The City Council of the City of Rolling Hills does hereby ordain as follows:
Section 1. Findings.
The residents of the City of Rolling Hills treasure its rural environment. As is set forth
in the City's General Plan, the Council finds that the rural environment is characterized by
natural light, and is degraded by artificial illumination at night. Nighttime darkness
throughout the City contributes significantly to the uniquely tranquil rural environment,
creates a more natural setting for wildlife that inhabit the area, enhances the quality of life and
adds to property values.
For the foregoing reasons, the City provides no roadway illumination and encourages
residents to minimize the illumination of their properties to avoid light spillage onto
neighboring properties, easements and roadways.
The outdoor lighting standards adopted herein serve to advance the foregoing goals
and further public health, safety and welfare.
Pursuant to authority and criteria contained in the California Environmental Quality
Act (California Public Resources Code Section 21000 ete seq.) ("CEQA") and the CEQA
Guidelines (California Code of Regulations Section 15000 et seq.), planning staff analyzed the
proposed ordinance and concluded that the ordinance will not have the potential to cause a
significant effect on the environment. Based on this finding, planning staff has determined
that the proposed ordinance is categorically exempt from the requirements of CEQA pursuant
to Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines. The City Council has reviewed the proposed
exemption and finds that it represents the independent judgment of the City and complies
with the requirements of CEQA. Based upon this finding, the City Council finds that the
proposed ordinance is categorically exempt from CEQA in accordance with the CEQA
Guidelines.
Section 2. Paragraph D. of Section 17.16.150 of Chapter 17.16 of Title 17 of the Rolling
Hills Municipal Code is amended in its entirety to read as follows:
"D. Walkways, steps, mailboxes and irrigations systems are permitted in any yard
area."
Section 3. Section 17.16.190 of Chapter 17.16 of Title 17 of the Rolling Hills Municipal
Code is amended by adding thereto a new paragraph E. to read as follows:

1. Lighting is permitted along pedestrian pathways for the purpose of
providing safe passage. Bulbs used in such lighting shall be non -reflective
and shall not exceed the wattage of a forty (40) watt incandescent light bulb
to a maximum of 400 lumens, or their equivalent if non -incandescent lighting
is used. Lighting fixtures shall accommodate only one bulb, shall incorporate
shields to cast light downward, shall be spaced no closer than twenty (20) feet
apart, and shall be no higher than 18 inches from grade to the top of the
fixture. In no event shall light from such fixtures be cast upward or off the
property.
2. Security lighting is permitted, provided that in no event shall a security light
be set to shine for longer than five minutes following activation.
3. Temporary lighting is permitted for holidays and for special events.
4. Entry post lighting is permitted at the foot of a driveway provided that
lighting is cost downward and does not spill onto the roadway. Bulbs used in
such lighting shall be non -reflective and shall not exceed the wattage of a
forty (40) watt incandescent light bulb to a maximum of 400 lumens, or their
equivalent if non -incandescent lighting is used.
5. Lighting that illuminates porches and entry ways into buildings is permitted.
Bulbs used in such lighting shall be non -reflective and shall not exceed the
wattage of a forty (40) watt incandescent light bulb to a maximum of 400
lumens, or their equivalent if non -incandescent lighting is used.

Dear RHCA and The City of Rolling Hills
To whom it may concern:
During the past several weeks, I've been hearing a lot of loud pounding
hammer noise type work at either 44 or 46 Eastfield Drive. I've noticed
several cars parked on the Eastfield Drive roadside area which is a very
dangerous curve. Also, I have noticed that work has tempered off at 44
Eastfield and the construction fence has been closed. I was curious to
know if any other neighbor is performing work in the area and have they
obtained any permission, authorization or the necessary permits to perform
whatever work is going on! Over the past year, I have noticed A LOT of
construction work going on Eastfield Drive. I know the lots vary in size in
that area but, some are also very small on the Eastside of the City. I'm just
very concerned that Rolling Hills Eastfield Tract lots are getting crammed
with over development! Eastfield area is quite fragile.
I would really like an inspector or Rolling Hills City Planner and County
Building Inspector to review and construction permits in the vicinity of 44
and 46 Eastfield Drive!
