We are in receipt of your letter dated April 12th , 2010.
The driveway you have referred to has never been a roadway. We informed your office
many months ago in the summer of 2oog.
The Rolling Hills Community Association never accepted the roadway! They even took
a further step in early 2009 to give exclusive use of the driveway to the owner of # x6
Pine Tree Lane.

RE: 16 Pine Tree Lane
Dear Members,
We would like to bring to your attention unilateral (decision and action) demolition of the
wall that exists between 16 and 14 Pine Tree Lane easement by the owners of 10 Pine
Tree Lane. Mrs. Bharadia noticed this today upon arrival at 5:00 PM, with Mr. Hassholdt
and his workers demolishing the wall.
Apart from the wall being demolished illegally, it will have affect on driveway, soil
erosion, and other far reaching unknowns.
We hope you can assess this situation and prevent it from progressing (regressing) any
further. We have pictures to show the damages. It would be prudent for board members
take a tour of the site on 03/30/10.
Yours Truly,
e Bharadia Family.

Good Afternoon Ms. Raig,
I've had the opportunity to review the Parcel Map and understand the conditions of approval. In the final public
hearing conclusion at the City of Rolling Hills it was stated that the road as presented was acceptable to the fire
department which included;
• Pine Tree Lane, to be paved a minimum width of 18' wide.
• Provide a 4' wide bridle path adjacent to the required paving with obstructions
• Bridle path as proposed with decomposed granite is acceptable to the fire department with appropriate
maintenance to maintain access.
• Provide a fire department turnaround at the end of Pine Tree Lane (32' radius)
If you have questions regarding this e-mail please contact me at your earliest convenience 323-890-4243

Dear Board Members,
10 Pine Tree Lane

JUN 1 8 2009
City of Rolling Hills
Very recently Dr. Bharadia at 16 Pine Tree Lane brought to our attention that he is
tinder the impression that the Pine Tree Lane extension and cul de sac are his
personal property and liability. Actually this conversation was precipitated by our
workers, who were grooming our lot 14 for Fire Department inspections. Our
workers were moving our Gator along the road extension and cul de sac to pick up
the bags of weeds. They were directed to leave the area and not use the road.
I was shocked to hear that the road extension and cul de sac may not have been
recorded and accepted by the Association. Dr. Bharadia's position was that no one
was to drive on the road or cud de sac. He has posted it as private property.
Since we were very much a part of this development, and we were required to
dedicate our land as part of the road and cul de sac, we are very concerned. One of
the primary conditions of the 16 Pine Tree Lane sub division was the dedication of
this road extension to the entire community and the cul de sac was very much a part
of the community plan.
I hope you can investigate this issue and correct the problem. Our property is being
impacted as now Dr. Bharadia has posted the extension and cul de sac as his private
property. Since our property is a part of the development in this area and he has
staked claims to our property, something needs to be done. The Board has failed to
dedicate the road and now there is no cul de sac as required by the resolution for the
sub division of 16 Pine Tree Lane. You have created a safety problem as construction
vehicles face a dead end with no turn around. Their solution is to back up Pine Tree
Lane.
The City has accepted this road extension and cul de sac. The Board's failure
to accept this project has created a property line dispute as well as genuine
road hazards.

It is very important that this problem be addressed now as new construction
begins on Pine Tree Lane, and as you review this letter there are cement trucks
and large dirt trucks moving cement and soil from 2 Pine Tree Lane. These
trucks cannot make the right hand turn up the road. They are finding a dead
end where the extention and cut de sac was developed as required by the sub
divisions.They are being forced to back up the road to Portuguese Bend Road.
We look forward to hearing this acceptance has been completed and the road
and cut de sac is available to the entire community.
Sincerely,

GRADING WORK AT # 16 PINE TREE LN., ROLLING HILLS.
We have inspected the progress of the grading work at the subject site. The rough
grading and the final grading for the subject site has not been approved and accepted
by our Department as yet. The standards for roadway improvements is under the
jurisdiction of the Community Association of the City of Rolling Hills. The requirement
for the width of the road is set by the Fire Department.
As a standard practice we approve the grading job, only after ascertaining that the work
conforms to the approved set of plans. In this particular case, since the access road is a
part of the grading work, approval from the Fire Department and the Community
Association•will be required before this job will be accepted and finaled.
I hope this information is of assistance to you. If you have any questions, please
contact the undersigned at (310) 534-3760.
Very truly yours,

ZONING CASE NO. 450
SUBDIVISION NO. 84
TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP NO. 21486

8. As noted on Page 3 of Recommendations of the County, the
existing house on Parcel 1 appears to encroach approximately
10 feet into the easement on the easterly property line of
Parcel 1 and approximately 45 feet into the front yard setback
because of the street requirement. The Planning Commission in
approving the subdivision has determined that the new front
yard is at the cul-de-sac or western portion of Parcel 1, the
existing stable would be encroaching into the front yard, but
the residence would not, and the southern part of the
residence would not be encroaching into the new side yard
setback.
9. The additional homesite proposed on Parcel 2 indicates a
12,000 square foot building pad that does not encroach into
any existing setbacks. There is an area set aside on the
southwesterly slope for a 450 square foot stable and 550
square foot corral.
10. The driveway leading to the proposed building pad on Parcel 2
will have a slope of up to 17% with no more than a 7% slope at
the 32 foot radius cul-de-sac bulb.
11. Future grading for Parcel 2 will require approximately 2,665
cubic yards of cut and 2,665 cubic yards of fill soil.
12. The Traffic Commission will have reviewed the proposed Pine
Tree Lane, road extension and cul-de-sac on February 25, 1994
and any recommendations that they propose will be reported at
tonight's meeting.
13. Staff met with the Manager of the Community Association, Peggy
Minor, regarding the proposed project and noted that the
Community Association has not approved the subdivision, nor
does it intend to do so until the applicants come to some
mutual agreement with the adjacent property owners about the
construction of the proposed new Pine Tree Lane, the roadway
extension and the'cul-de-sac.
14. After reviewing the Initial Study for the project, Staff has
determined that although the proposed project could have a
significant effect on the environment, there will not be a
significant effect in this case because mitigation measures
have been added to the project. Accordingly, a Mitigated
Negative Declaration has been prepared (attached).
REOUIRED CITY COUNCIL ACTION
The City Council may concur with the Planning Commission's findings
and recommendation of approval of the subdivision. If the City
