Rolling Hills; California
Gentlemen;
I am submitting this letter to again voice my support for
my neighbor's front yard variance request. I feel that all my
neighbors have the right to develop their property as long as
their use does not violate the rural atmosphere,--or-the privacy
of their neighbors. I have reviewed the plans, checked the stakes
showing the limits of the court, and physically walked all of
Hummingbird Lane and Eastfield Dr., and I still feel that the
tennis court as proposed will have no negitive effect on the
community.
Mrs. Failing states that she has gained the approval of The
Rolling Hills Community Association, The Rolling Hills Architectur-
al Committee, and The Rolling Hills City Landscape Committee. I -
would think that the only decision which is before the Planning
Committee is the front yard variance to Hummingbird Lane. Hummingbird
Lane will only:serve a maximum of three lots, and as those people
involved have not expressed an objection', it is hard for me to under-
stand the resistance to.Mrs. Failings request.
We will not be in attendance at your meeting on tuesday night,
but we do want to thank you in advance for your reconsideration
of this variance request, and hope that you will vote favorably on
this matter.
Respectfully submitted

TO ALL MEMBERS OF THE PLANNING. COMMISSION•
OF THE CITY 'OF ROLLING HILLS,•CALIFORNIA
. Defore` I initiate an appeal proceedure, I would 'like .
to ask if.there is any possible way for you to reconsider -
my situation. I know your jobs with the Planning Commission.
are thankless z1 best, and I•am very sorry about the way the
meeting went the other; night, •
I know the misunderstandings on my part and the part
of most of my neighbors were due to ignorance of the way the
Association and the City works independently. I sincerely
didn't know you investigated the whole thing from the beginning.
.That because the Archi,techtual Committee had approved the plans,
and the Board of Directors had approved, after an onsite invest-.
igation, with the stipulation that I use colored fencing and
-screen-the court from Eastfield with appropiate plantings,
( I had the •Begonia Farm draw up a landscape plan, which
I then took to the Landscape Committee, and they approved.)
I wrongly assumed that your Commission merely reviewed what
had.happened in other meetings.
When I asked how soon you could schedule to come up to
my pronerty, 1 misunderstood Dr. Pernell as saying,"After'
next months meeting." ( I found out this morning that was not
what he said.).and all I could think of was this would put
construction up 2.or. 3 months and right into the rainy
season, which meant everything would be stopped until next
spring. There was so much conversation going on all around
me, T think 1 missed a lot of the meeting, se I asked for a
'Vote thinking it just meant I went on to Council.
In eonci•usion 1 would like to add that I am raising two
• boys .by 'myself and I moved. to Rollin; Hills five years ago
to provido them with•a way of Life that would allow them to
• porsue the tliingB that intorest •i.hem, and keep them at home
With their friends, and now that they have outgrown their
horses and are very much into Tennis, the once a week schedule
at the main gate Courts is hardly enough to maintain the
level -of proficiency that they desire,
A1y .family and I: want .this court very badly, and I would ,
hate.to see it not materilize'because of'myignoranee and
• misinformn.tion, so 1 am humbly. asking -you to reconsiderliand
conduct an onsito investigation sometime before your
next meeting.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Joyce Failing

The area of the existing buildings is
The area of the.proposed tennis court is

area calculations'
lot and easement
and the house area
65,2964square feet
20,190i square feet
4,880- square feet
6,520t square feet
This results in a lot coverage of existing buildings of 7.5% of
the gross lot area or 10.8%'of the gross area minus all easements.
The lot coverage of the existing buildings and proposed tennis
court is 17.4% of the gross lot area or 25.3% of the gross 'lot
area minus all easements.
1t.should be noted that any error in the area of your house will.
• have a small effect .upon the net lot coverage. For instance,,:-.
an error of 500- square feet wi:11 have an effect of only 1%
change in lot coverage of the. --gross lot area minus'all easements.'
Should .you have any. questions,, -please call me.
