This letter is a follow up to your email dated April 3, 2017 regarding construction at
18 Portuguese Bend Road and finaling of your project at 15 Portuguese Bend Road.
18 Portuguese Bend Road
The project, including the relocation of the pool equipment out of the setback,
removal of the deck from the setback and restoration of the slope to prior condition,
and minor residence remodel were approved by the City and did not require a
variance. Building permits were obtained and the City and LA County building
inspector, pending the Rolling Hills Community Association (RHCA) finaling the
project, is ready to sign off on the work.
According to the Building Department the restoration of the slope did not trigger
soils or engineering report requirements. In addition, the fence was a requirement
of the RHCA.
Regarding the vegetation along Portuguese Bend Road near the driveway, City staff
will look into this.
Should there be other matters not covered above, I would like to visit your property,
so that you could show me your concerns. If this is so, please call me to schedule a
visit at your convenience.
15 Portuguese Bend Road
You have obtained all the required building permits from the City and your project
is completed per the plans submitted to date and approved by the City. City staff
needs to inspect the new wall, and as soon as it is determined that the wall was built
per the approved plans, the City and the LA County building inspector would be
ready to final this work, subject to RHCA sign off on the project.

However, I understand that the RH Architectural Committee requires a trellis off of
the converted sunroom. The City has not seen any plans nor granted approval for
the trellis. Please submit a plan to the Planning Department for the trellis and obtain
a building permit for its construction.
Please call me to schedule a visit to inspect the wall.
Should you have additional questions or concern, do not hesitate to contact
Raymond Cruz, City Manager or me.

We have now entered the seventh month of our neighbor
having a construction fence around their property.
They have worked without a variance or a licensing
agreement pending. To our knowledge the work
on their property has been going on since July 2016
without the above?

We would like the fence removed immediately and the
city and association to clarify the legality of their grading and
excavation on the area ajacent to out property at 15 PBR.
There also is a concern regarding the larges amounts of cement
pumped and poured into the slope of their property adjacent to our property
line. There is no assurance this slope is restored after their major
alterations. We want the soils test and engineering available for
our review.
As you well know we have provided engineering as well as soils reports
following the construction of the wall that we have built on our property. This kind of information
should be provided to us
so that we have confidence in the work done without permits and oversight
by the Planning Dept.and the County Engineering Dept and the RHCA.
The RHCA should sign off on this work also.
As you know the city continues to block our attaining our Certificate
of Occupancy for our home at #15. This discriminating behavior while you totally ignored the
the unpermitted work mentioned above. Your influence
with the RHCA also has damaged us. Every engineering agency from out
side this city has approved our work yet the planning department and the RHCA
stonewall out personal property rights.
We wait for your response to the above issue as we have reached the limit
of our patience.
In addition to the above requirements placed on the property at #18
there are critical safety requirements placed on this property. The hedge growth on
this property along the road was addressed during development. It was a major concern of the
traffic committee
to maintain safe site on this road..
My concern was for all residents. Now the safety is of major concern specifically as

'' we are blind as we pull out our drive. Thank you for addressing this safety
matter. Your records should be clear that the traffic committee made this requirement.
Please keep us up to date before an accident happens. The hedge
growth must be lowered and removed for everyone's safety.
We look forward to your resolve in addressing the discrimination issues
as stated above. No other property owner has been treated as we have.
Our participation in the works of this city for 35 years reflect the inequality
we are faced with.
We want the certificate to occupy.

As requested, the private sewage disposal system at15 Portuguese Bend Road, Rolling
Hills was inspected on November 26, 2014.
The septic tank is located in asphalt driveway and was serviced November 26, 2014 and
is in satisfactory condition. The septic tank meets the 5' set back from residence. A 24"
manhole access is available for future service.
The septic system has 3 secondary seepage pits. The seepage pits are satisfactory and
have the minimum 8' set back from structure. This single family residence has a large lot
and plenty of expansion area, if needed.
It is our professional opinion that the system is in satisfactory condition. There is no
indication of over -flows to the surrounding soils that would present a health problem. It is
recommended that the septic tank be serviced every two to three years, based on a family
of four, and not to exceed five-year duration.
This letter is not a guarantee and PENINSULA SEPTIC SERVICE INC. does not
warrant the future capacities of the system.
Respectfully,
PENINSULA SEPTIC SERVICE INC.

Dear Mr. Jaekmon,
You are aware of the utility pole problem at No: 18 Portuguese Bend Road as well as the power
line issues at No: i5 Portuguese Bend Road. I have personally sent you communications
regarding these problems and had no response from Southern California Edison.
The owners of these two properties have moved forward and met with the Rolling Hills
Community Association regarding our safety as well as the issues we have raised. with
Southern California Edison regarding our easements. The Rolling Hills Community
Association directors have jurisdictions over these easements.
At their request we were told to reach an agreement and attitude of co-operation. We were
told to bring that agreement to the Association for their review. This letter serves as a notice
to the Rolling Hills Community Association and Edison that there is an agreement of purpose.
The Nuccions and the Hassoldt's have agreed to work with the Association to resolve the pole
and power line violations.
After speaking with the Board of Directors and receiving a positive commitment from them to
take their easement oversight powers and work with Southern California Edison , these
problems must be resolved. The easement violations that exist on these two properties may
not continue. They are the trustee of all the easements in Rolling Hills and make the
decisions that best serve our community long term. They are not interested in what short
cuts work for Edison!
The board requires a copy of the existing plan that provides information on the present
condition of Edison's equipment. This must include pole placement, easements, location of
overhead power lines, vaults and transformers. The plan must include and identify individual
properties being served by this equipment. The recent plan you have submitted does not
fulfill the above, rather it includes further burdens being placed on their properties.
After reviewing the existing conditions the board of directors want to see a new plan. This
should be a schematically accurate plan including concerns with pole placement,
transformers, overhead power lines, vaults and under grounding. This plan should include
the properties in the area showing how they receive service from Edison.. Their message
and ours is Edison must correct the installation that violates personal properties as well as
easements.
The goal is to recover the easements for the use and visual pleasure of the community.
Certainly the most recent plan from Edison shows no sign of co-operation. Reducing the
Impact of # 15 Portuguese Bend Road was a lost concept on your map. Placing a power pole
on each side of this property, leaving the utility lines in place dissecting their property, and
not under grounding the lines to the street vault definitely is not a solution acceptable to
anyone.

Thank you for speaking with me the other day regarding your bee hives. The following
day, Tuesday, December 18, 2001, I received the enclosed correspondence from Dr.
Robert W. Marshall, 17 Portuguese Bend Road, alleging that the bee hives are located
within the easement on Dr. Marshall's property and in a location inconsistent with the
requirements of the attached Municipal Code Section.
In discussing this with Dr. Marshall, it is my understanding that he is going to contact
the beekeeper and require that these bees be relocated off of his property.
I have enclosed a copy of Rolling Hills Municipal Code Section 6.32.060, which sets
forth the requirements for bee keeping in the City. I encourage you to cooperate with
your neighbor in this regard and, further, take all necessary action to ensure that you
are keeping the bees in the manner prescribed in the Municipal Code.
Should you wish to discuss this further, please do not hesitate to call. Thank you for
your cooperation.
Sincerely,

Dear Craig:
DEC 1 al

I would like to file a complaint regarding more than a dozen beehives that are
located within my easement on the north end of my property. I telephoned you
yesterday and you investigated the beehives. You discovered that they are owned
by a bee keeper named Mr. Martinez and were authorized to be placed in that
location by Dr. Roberts my neighbor at 15 Portuguese Bend Road.
I stopped by Dr. Roberts house yesterday to see if he would move the beehives. He
insisted that I write a letter because he wants a "paper trail". Hence, the reason for
my complaint being filed in letterform.
I have included a map of that portion of my property. You can see my fence by the
"x" symbols. The beehives are marked in red. You can see that the beehives are
within my easement. I own the land under the easement area and do not want the
beehives on my property.
Yesterday, you also informed me of the rules and regulations regarding beehives
within Rolling Hills' city limits. You said that they must be over 100 feet from
houses and horse trails. If you look at the map (scale 1 "/ 20 feet) it appears that the
hives are located about 60 feet and 50 feet from Dr. Roberts' residence. I did not
physically measure them but on inspection you could do that to verify my map's
measurements. By looking at the map it is quite obvious that Dr. Roberts does not
have significant distance to place the beehives on the north end of his property.
If you go to the location for inspection it may be possible for Dr. Roberts to
relocate the bee hives behind his house in a westerly direction over 100 feet from
his house and 100 feet from the horse trail back there.
I want to fix and repaint my fence in that location and find it an impossible task
with beehives within 10 feet of the fence. I also have the need to mow the lawn as
it grows this year for weed abatement regulations. I read on the Internet that you
should keep lawn mowers over 50 feet from beehives.
Please keep me advised as to your progress and communications with Dr. Roberts
in letterform. This is necessary because of the "paper trail" Dr. Roberts desires.
Sincerely,
Dr. Robert W. Marshall, O.D.
