and are located in such a way as to provide isolation and privacy;

in order to provide pads for residential improvements;

easements varying in width from ten to twenty-five feet, and some lots
have private streets or driveways within their boundaries which reduce
the usable portion of said lots substantially;

of the terrain and various types of soil found in the City of Rolling
Hills;

ous improvements which result in overcrowding and confusion;

recognize that the terrain and easements reduce the usable size of lots
for residential and recreational purposes; and destroy the natural
beauty and create an undesireable environment;
