Lane. Upon further investigation of the wall, it was determined that approximately 2/3 of the wall is a retaining wall and the remaining is necessary for erosion control. Should you remove the wall it will be necessary to re -grade the area behind the wall. Please contact the City to explain the reason for the demolition and your plans to repair the wall or re -grade. Regardless of whether the Pine Tree Lane extension is a roadway or a driveway, construction of retaining walls or grading require engineering plans and permits. Please contact the City immediately upon receipt of this letter to inform us of your planned action or submit a grading and erosion control plan for the area behind the wall. In addition, please contact the RHCA for their requirements for conducting work in the easement.

Dear Council Members, JAN 1 Z 2010 City of Rolling ;-ill's By 10 Pine Tree Lane Rolling Hills, CA 90274 January 12th 2010 This communication is the result of the letter I sent in August 2009 regarding the knowledge 1 had obtained regarding the cul de sac and road extension on Pine Tree Lane. I have not received any response that indicates any action related to this safety issue. To refresh your memory, the cul de sac is required of any sub divider on Pine Tree Lane. It is spelled out clearly in all resolutions of sub dividers on Pine Tree Lane. The cul de sac was first provided by the Hassoldt's as that was your requirement. As number 16 progressed to_file their map we were required to remove the cul de sac. Number i6 completed their project as required and they built a road extension and cul de sac. The Hassoldt cul de sac was in place in 1998. The Cukingnan's cul de sac was approved for recording in 2002. The cul de sac is an important safety issue as it was required by the Resolutions of Hassoldt, Smith, Ruth, Uiirich's and number 16 formerly Cukinynan. The issue of concern is the Community Association will not accept the road. In June 2009 they have given exclusive use of the improvements to number 16 Pine Tree Lane. The road extension and the cul de sac now is a private drive no longer available for community use. It became a private drive immediately and was posted with a sign provided by our Association. It reads "No Trespassing Private Drive". It also has created a flag lot for 16 and 18 Pine Tree Lane.Pine Tree Lane is now a dead end road! There is a potential of a 60% increase of homes. This is above and beyond what existed when the 1998 cul de sac was in place. The hazard is now real as no one is allowed to use the cul de sac and all traffic must back up Pine Tree Lane. They are hacking up 238o ft to Portuguese Bend Road, Trucks and cars are forced to back up the blind curved road. They are using the center line as a focal point. This is a 13% grade road. Since 1998 the community has had the use of this road improvement. 01-12-2010 16:32 PAGE2 • i I. The City and Association precluded any of the original four sub divisions from development without a cul de sac in place. Hence we were required to build a cul de sac and remove it when number 16'.s improvement were recorded only two years later. This is a "shall build" by our resolutions. There was no option! This creates an inability for number 7 and number 5 to sub divide as they cannot fulfil their resolution... No cul de sac available. I hope this is clear to you. It has been sometime since the 1998 cul de sac was in place and too long since the private drive has been posted. We have included the July 1989 minutes of the association regarding the necessity of a cul de sac being available if any sub division was to occur. They called out Pine Tree Lane as an unsafe road. The requirements of the association has been clear through the process. This solution is a simple one. Our Association should accept this road and cul de sac as "built per plan". Then the entire community will again have the use of this cul de sac improvement. Sincerely, (2 (.6Y Z,A,Ze2,a,ge Judith Hassoldt and William Hassoldt Io Pine Tree Lane, Rolling Hills, CA 90274.

Our workers were moving our Gator along the road extension and cal de sac to pick up the bags of weeds. I was shocked to hear that the road extension and the cal de sac may not have been recorded and accepted by the City and Association. Dr. Bharadia's position is that no one is to drive on the road or the cal de sac. 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 concerned. One of the primary conditions of the 16 Pine Tree Lane sub division was the dedication of this road extension to the community, and the cal de sac was very much a part of the community plan. Without the cul de sac Pine Tree Lane is a dead end road with a 13% grade. I hope you can resolve this issue as the property we own is impacted by Dr. Bharadia's understanding that the road and the cal de sac are his property and liability.

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. 06-18-2009 14:56 • PAGE2 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 cul 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 cul de sac is available to the entire community. Sincerely, a/ef:/- \,Z./(iva (7767 Judith Hassoldt c.c.

Not perfect but acceptable, sufficient that we enrolled in their bundle package of TV/Phone/internet. Since Scott Goble oversaw the under grounding of our utilities we have had constant problems. We lose our signal and service to the degree that we go without 911 capabilities. We chose to return our phone service with Verizon. Just so we could be assured we would have phone service. Here is the problem. Cox will not allow us to speak to anyone that understands under grounding. Instead Cox sends techs that scratch their heads and do nothing to resolve the problem. We have had 24 appointments with these techs that can't solve the problem, which is"NO Consistent SIGNAL" to this residence. Before under grounding all our services worked. Now we can not conduct business on the Internet nor can we watch cable tv. And frankly for a while we were without phone service as Cox didn't provide the signal. That was very troublesome to us as our cell phone do not work here either. Would you please assume leadership in the resolution of "No Signal" to 10 Pine Tree Lane. Repairing the under grounding problem will require someone of your respected position getting T29Hd 20:TT L002-02-2T • •: involved. We have been totally stalled by employees of Cox, as they are not allowed to give us access to the department that should be addressing this problem. We should have contacted you first as I am sure you would have corrected the phone issue immediately. But we did not. The Internet problem and cable problem are caused by failure of the signal generated to our home. No one will address this. Since the city mandated the under grounding I am sure your input will correct this frustrating and costly problem. Basically we paid a huge amount of money for under grounding all our services and the agencies do not know how to handle the problems they created. Beware of under grounding!

With the fall and winter seasons upon us and the potential for rain, the Department of Building and Safety now recommends that the property be winterized to prevent erosion, run-off into storm drains and in general, dirt and debris from running onto the road and neighboring properties. As such, it is requested that you take the necessary precautions by appropriately winterizing the property. We appreciate your immediate attention to winterizing both lots on Pine Tree Lane and, if you have any questions about what would be necessary, please don't hesitate to call the City or Lisa Eckert at the Building and Safety Department at 310.534-3760.

Mr. Hassoldt explained that he is weeding the lot by scraping the weeds. No contractor would do disking any more, so he hired a contractor with a skip loader to remove weeds and turn over the dirt. He said he is not grading or changing the grade. The dirt looks loose, but is not a new dirt. He is going to place chips on the dirt to absorb water during rains.

Per my voice mail to you, I called Fire Station 56 to ask if they had a brush clearance notice since that is the reason why they justified the tractor work. The Capt said "no." As you know, we thought that they had cleared the property of brush sometime before so this was a surprise. And, for them to be saying they were removing roots is suspicious. Our concern, of course, is unauthorized grading. Anytime someone has a tractor out and is moving or upgrading dirt, we run the risk of grading. A permit is needed under most circumstances, as you know. We'd like to make sure they aren't doing anything further without notifying and explaining it to the City. I'd like to ask that an inspector make sure of it. As we hear or see anything, we'll let you know. And/or your office can make it known to them if they don't have that understanding from your visit today.
