Weber Anton Weber 53 Po -uaue se Bend Road Rolling Hills, Ca 90274 April 1, 1972 Board of Directors Rolling Hills Community Assn. Rolling Hills, California Gentlemen: I need your help in granting me permission to build a retain- ing wall, not more than five feet (5') high, which will be located ten feet in from the property line. This wall will be along a portion of our property on the West side. At the Architectural Committee meeting held on March 20, 1972 I presented plans for an addition to our home. The Committee complimented the plans and "Togo" map; however they told my architect and me we would have to make the following changes: (1) Modify the roof plan, (2) Eliminate the shutter from the garageand eliminate the bird house, (3) Provide for a ser- vice yard, and (4) that we could not put any "fill" in the easement, which I had requested along with the request for a five foot retaining wall. While the Architectural Committee definitely stated "No fill". in the. easement, they had no objection to the five foot re- taining wall that I need and recommended that I appear before you for permission to build such a wall which I must have in order to proceed with the planned addition to our home. With- out this permission we could not have an access walk to the front of our home where it is most needed.' ti As.I explained to you at the last meeting, the easement on this side of our property is very seldom used by anyone as it is not the main trail and is steep. I have talked with my two neighbors on this side of the property: Mr. Lloyd .Mokler had no objection to the five foot wall or to improving the easement with a slight fill; however Dr,. Henze told me he had no objection to the five foot wall, but would prefer no fill in the easement which would spill over on his side of the easement. I have decided to compromise in order not to irritate anyone, therefore I limit my request to you for your permission for me to build a five foot retaining wall which I must have to proceed. Please accept my thanks for your time and consideration. Very truly yours, Anton B. Weber iu i;ti.LTEGTURAL COMMITTEE ANTON WEBER • 53 Portuguese Bend Road 31/dhja- o-c-42 -FT P.
