Subject: Patio Extension to My Patio Extension
Request For Information
My neighbor Board President Pat Bradley recently
(May-June) extended his existing walled/fenced in
patio the legally
allowed 4 feet or so. He then extended it out an additional 4 feet
or so into
the common area to
construct a boulder garden as can be seen in the photo below.
(Current rules do not allow boulders outside patios only the proposed changes would allow this).
I understand the HOA paid the cost to remove a tree and paid to grade and sod (not seed) the
surrounding area again as can be seen in the photo below.
(The CC&R’s require the homeowner to pay all costs).

My understanding of the CC&R's & the law is
that any homeowner who wants to extend his patio or patio garden or for any reason wants to
use common area for their own purposes must first fund a ballot
measure (about
$2,000+) to get a homeowner approval.
Since the Board apparently has suspended the rules in order to accommodate and subsidize Board President Pat Bradly's
I would like to get in on this sweetheart deal.
Therefore this is a formal preliminary request to duplicate and add this garden extension into the common area to my fully extended patio at 322 S. Sierra Madre. A standard application will be submitted when the below requested extension information is received. Others also may want to extend out from their extended patios a similar amount of common area for larger rose, cacti or other desert plant
gardens, think of the possibilities.
But first I and others need to know from the Board how far out into the common area the Board is approving? ( I was thinking maybe up to the golf path )
How much will the HOA subsidize the cost; that is: how much did the HOA pay Sunrise to remove the tree and re-landscape the whole area for Pat Bradley? What did Sunrise charge Pat Bradley
to do this share and what was his share?
I and others eagerly await your reply.
