Re: Continuous Improvements to the Garage Area of the Residence at 29 Crest Road
East
Dear Yolanta:
Responding to your March 4 letter to the Stevens, my apologies for the misunderstanding
on this matter. I recall your original instruction to advance no work on the (pre) existing
garage, but was later told by the prior architect that we were in fact allowed to continue.
Since receiving your letter, we have indeed ceased all work on those areas, put up yellow
tape and posted notices to the trades to keep out of those areas.
Please never hesitate to contact me directly at 310-528-2173 if there are any questions or
concerns. And, again, my sincerest apologies.
Very truly yours,
Chris Reinsch

Yolanta, Steve,
Did this receive planning, RHCA approval?
As we noted during our pre -construction meeting, this isn't a very tall wall, and at least
appears to have been professionally built. It has been completed/ grouted.
How should we proceed?
Thanks,
Richard

Hey Richard,
I hope you had a great Thanksgiving...
Touching base with a quick project status update and to discuss finishing /
backfilling the wall that was started by previous contractor.
Please find the attached plans and deputy inspection reports...
It is my understanding that it was approved by city, the copies stamped and
signed by Yolanta over the counter at City Hall were retained by Yolanta and
PWI (previous contractor). From prior discussions with you, Yolanta and
some digging around... It is looking like perhaps no plan check or permit
Page 1 of 4

was actually pulled but the PWI did have a couple of deputy inspections
done while being built.
We are about to start digging footing for the house and I would like to use
the footing spoils from more remote locations of the house and backfill this
wall prior to digging the footings closer to the wall which then blocks access
for easy backfill. Also would like to get rid of the potential "open trench
hazard"...
I have had my foundation guys check the back drain for slope, remove
debris, finish the rapping of gravel with filter fabric (leaving a few open
areas for inspection if needed) and check water proofing (both an
elastomeric and Miradrain products installed)...
Do we need to schedule a site visit from you prior to backfill?
Please give me a call to discuss further...
Thanks!

including the attachment/addition between the house and garage/guest room may not exceed
966 sq.ft.total, as previously approved.
It is going to be the Building Department's call whether to call this project a "new"

Re: Construction Parking
Dear Members of the Board.
By
JUN'd 11 2007
CITY OF ROLLING HILLS
I have only a limited amount of time before moving from the City of Rolling Hills.
However, during this time should anyone have an accident exiting our driveway to Crest
Road East, I intend to hold the Rolling Hills Community Association and Mr. and Mrs.
Martin, 22 Crest Road East, directly responsible.
I have verbally complained to the Martin's construction supervisor, to Kristin at the
Association and Eva at the City of Rolling Hills numerous times during the past year.
The last time I complained Kristin told me she would call Mrs. Martin personally to
advise her that parked cars were completely blocking out our sight distance when pulling
out of our driveway. My complaints have been ignored and the unsafe condition has
continued. At my request to him, Art brought me some "no parking" signs and a few
cones two weeks ago which help, but there is such a long string of autos, trucks, and
larger equipment that block the road in both directions that it is impossible to see the way
clear until you are out on the street and by that time we become sitting ducks.
Today, we had a second near collision situation where a low profile automobile coming
very fast was impossible to see while coming out of our driveway onto Crest. It again
nearly resulted in an accident. The Association must do something to regulate this kind
of very interruptive, construction parking! It surpasses being just a nuisance and is
downright dangerous.
This is a gravely serious condition which you have disregarded and I hereby put you on
notice.
Res s ectfully,

SUBJECT: CONSTRUCTION PARKING ALONG CREST ROAD ROADWAY
EASEMENT
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Martin:
Thank you for speaking with me today concerning the letter we received from Mrs. Linda
Severy. You informed me that you received the letter as well. In the letter, Mrs. Severy,
who resides at 29 Crest Road East, states that the construction workers working on your
new residence at 22 Crest Road East are continually parking along the easement in such a
way that they block her sight distance as she exits from her driveway. Mrs. Severy has
spoken to me several times in the past with the same concern. Each time I contacted your
construction manager to inform him of the complaint and asked him to have the workers
move their vehicles. That seemed to work for few days or a week and then, according to
Mrs. Severy, they would resume parking their vehicles and heavy equipment close to her
driveway.
I understand that the construction will be completed within two or three weeks and that
this issue will be resolved. However, meantime, please inform your construction manager
to speak to the workers and ask them to either park on the property or on the north side of
the easement adjacent to your property.
The resolution of approval of your project states that "all parking shall take place on the
project site and, if necessary, any overflow parking may take place within nearby
roadway easements". Therefore, we'd appreciate your informing your construction
manager that the parking situation must meet the intent of this requirement.
Please do not hesitate to contact me shoudl you wish to discuss this matter. Thank you for
your cooperation.

January 3, 2000
I am enclosing copies of the two letters I have sent to the Hynes family over the past three
weeks, asking them to stop Disturbing our Peace with their continuing weekend ATV activity.
As we discussed this morning, I will appreciate your bringing up this issue at the next Rolling
Hills City Council meeting.
Also, in speaking with other horse people, they have noticed an increase in Motorbikes, ATV's
and use of BB guns by children on the Community's riding trails. These are accidents waiting
to happen, when horses and these kinds of activities are in close proximity.
Perhaps we need an Ordinance, to cover the new type of noise pollution caused by the
recreational use of these motorized vehicles, in our City, and secondly, stricter enforcement on
illegal use of them on our trails. In the meantime, perhaps another notice in our City and
Association newsletters would be prudent.
Very truly yours,

Dear Nancy,
You are most likely aware that members of your family are running All Terrain Vehicles
on the vacant lot you own adjacent to us on Crest Road East.
I am certain that they are having great fun, and that you feel you have the right to use
your property as you wish, but they do so at the expense of disturbing our peace. We all
moved to Rolling Hills for privacy, peace and quiet, not to have an ATV Park next door.
It is highly irritating to us and has agitated our animals. I am concerned that it is going
to cause the horses and mules to either injure us or themselves, since they become quite
distraught with the noise of revving engines and loud shouting.
Before I lodge further complaints, I would like to ask you neighbor to neighbor, to
respect my feelings on this matter. I am sure they can find a more suitable and
appropriate place to have their fun where no one will mind.
Please give this your consideration.

Dear Mrs. Severy:
CITY OF ROLLING HILLS
In the interest of being good neighbors, I hope this letter prevents our becoming
involved in a disagreement over the trees that have been planted on my property which adjoins
yours.
Sometime during the last few months, it appears that you have planted several rows of
trees and shrubs and put a rock graden over the property line on to my. property. In order to
avoid any confusion as to whose property this vegetation is on, I am requesting that you remove
all of it by September 1, 1994. Please remove the gravel and humus that you have also stored on
our property by the same time.
It is our desire that the portion of our property which is an easement be let free of any
planting so that it can be used for horse and hiking trails.
Enclosed are pictures which show where the vegetation is in relation to the property line.
The line is marked by the two red stakes one of which can be seen in the pictures. The other is
line with the row of eucalyptus. We believe that these stakes were installed by the surveyors you
recently used to mark the line.
It will be in the best interest of all concerned if you comply with this request without any
need for further action on our part.
If for some reason you need more time, please contact us in writing before the above
date. We will be happy to consider revising it if the circumstances warrant doing so.
Yours truly,
