BACKGROUND:
On February 19, 1991, the City Council certified a Mitigated Negative Declaration and
approved Conditional Use Permit (CUP) No. 55 for the Green Hills Memorial Park (Green
Hills) Cemetery Master Plan, which called for the development of the cemetery site over
the next 100 years.
1
On April 24, 2007, the Planning Commission certified a Mitiga ted Negative Declaration
and approved a Revision to CUP No. 55 (P.C. Resolution No. 2007-33) revising the Green
Hills Cemetery Master Plan for the development of the cemetery site over the next 30 to
50 years, including additional grading to accommodate future interments and the
construction of mausoleum buildings. As part of this approval, Mitigation Measure No.
AQ-14 of Resolution No. 2007-33 requires an annual compliance review to assess Green
Hills’ compliance with the CUP’s Conditions of Approval.
In 2014, the Planning Commission conducted the first annual review of the project, which
was appealed and heard by the City Council. Section 17.60.50.D of the Rancho Palos
Verdes Municipal Code (RPVMC) requires all subsequent annual reviews to be
conducted by the same deciding body which took the final action. Accordingly, the City
Council has conducted all subsequent annual compliance reviews, finding that Green
Hills was operating in compliance with the Conditions of Approval and approving the
following salient revisions to the Conditions of Approval for the project :
• November 17, 2015 – Allowing the mausoleum in Area 11 (i.e., Pacific
Terrace/Memorial Terrace) to remain in accordance with its 2007 approvals and
permits
• January 31, 2017 – Reorganizing the conditions by topic and development area,
as well as to further clarify or enumerate the conditions
• February 6, 2018 – Clarifying existing conditions, permitting a fence/wall along the
north and south property lines, improving dust control measures in Area 6, and
amending the hours of operations
• January 21, 2020 –
o Changed the Neighborhood Advisory Committee meeting frequency to at
least once each calendar year but no more than four times per calendar
year (Condition No.17)
o Allowed a temporary sign to be hung from the primary identification sign up
to six times a year (Condition No.18)
o Allowed a traveling half-size replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial to
be located on the property up to once per calendar year (Condition No. 20)
• December 7, 2021 – Allowed burials on the roof of Inspiration Slope Mausoleum
subject to specific conditions
No revisions to the Conditions of Approval were proposed as part of the 2018 and 2020
annual compliance reviews. The City Council received and filed reports at meetings on
March 19, 2019 and March 2, 2021, finding that Green Hills was in compliance with the
Conditions of Approval of its CUP.
DISCUSSION:
2021 Annual Compliance Review of the Existing Conditions of Approval
Conducting an annual compliance review provides an opportunity for the City Council to
assess the effectiveness of the existing conditions based on current operations and the
2
ability to add, delete, and modify conditions based on changed circumstances or
unforeseen impacts that may not have been addressed as part of the previous approval.
Over the past year, the City has been monitoring Green Hills’ compliance with the
Conditions of Approval adopted in Resolution No. 2021-66 (Attachment A) by the City
Council. The City’s compliance review is discussed in the following order:
1. Green Hills’ compliance with action items; and
2. Green Hills’ compliance with operational Conditions of Approval.
1. Compliance with Action Items
Below are salient conditions that require specific actions to be taken within a certain
period, followed by Staff’s analysis. Conditions that have already been met and
addressed in previous annual reviews are not included below.
• Condition No. 2 – This condition outlines the review process for improvement
requests allowed pursuant to the Conditions of Approval, including the pro per
decision-making body for certain applications, the public noticing process, and
the appeal process. All improvement requests (listed below) over the past year
have been properly processed in accordance with this condition , and Green
Hills is in compliance with this condition. Specifically, Green Hills submitted the
following applications in 2021:
▪ Grading Permit (Case No. PLGR2021-0007) - In May 2021, an application
was processed for a Major Grading Permit for a proposal to conduct 404
cubic yards of balanced grading (202 cubic yards of cut and 202 cubic yards
of fill) to accommodate the installation of vaults in unimproved portions of
the Sky Ridge area in Area 4 of the Master Plan.
▪ Special Use Permit (Case No. PLSU2021-0002) – In April 2021, an
application was processed for a Special Use Permit to allow a Memorial
Day Fireworks display with amplified live music on May 30, 2021.
▪ Conditional Use Permit Revision (PLCU2021-0011) – In October 2021, an
application was processed for a Conditional Use Permit Revision to allow
burials on the roof of Inspiration Slope Mausoleum. After the initial
November 16, 2021 City Council meeting, and a subsequent site visit to the
Green Hills’ site and neighboring properties, the City Council approved the
request on December 7, 2021.
• Condition No. 17 – This condition requires Green Hills to establish a
Neighborhood Advisory Committee (NAC) to meet at least once each calendar
year, but no more than four times per calendar year, and provide reports to the
City Council.
The NAC was established in 2017, and prior to 2020, meetings occurred
quarterly at City Hall, with the meeting summaries provided to the City Council
3
through the Weekly Administrative Report. However, Condition No. 17 was
modified in 2020 per City Council Resolution No. 2020-03 to instead require at
least one, but no more than four meetings, per calendar year. Staff held a virtual
NAC meeting in July 2021. The meeting summary (Attachment C) was included
in the July 28, 2021 Weekly Administrative Report. The minutes of the meeting
are also available on the City’s Green Hills webpage at the following link:
http://www.rpvca.gov/376/Green-Hills-Memorial-Park-Master-Plan. As at least
one meeting was held during the 2021 calendar year, and because the meeting
summary was provided to the City Council via the Weekly Administrative
Report, Green Hills is in compliance with this condition.
• Condition Nos. 24 and 25 – These conditions require Green Hills to submit
permit documentation for the following:
o Fuel storage from the South Coast Air Quality Management District and
Los Angeles County Fire Prevention Bureau;
o Chemical storage from the Los Angeles County Fire Department;
Hazardous Maintenance Division Section and Fire Prevention Bureau;
o Crematory operations from the South Coast Air Quality Management
District; and
o Current and valid permits and/or licenses from the State Cemetery and
Funeral Bureau.
On November 2, 2021, Green Hills submitted all the required permits which
were reviewed and accepted by Staff (Attachment B). Therefore, Green Hills is
in compliance with Condition Nos. 24 and 25.
• Condition No. 31 – This condition requires Green Hills to submit any map to
the Director to be recorded at least 30 days prior to the recording of the said
map with the Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder’s Office. On March 15,
2021, Green Hills submitted six maps (Attachment D) to be recorded after April
14, 2021, indicating future planned development in Alta Vista Gardens, Arroyo
Vista, Inspiration Slope, and the Parkview Terrace Mausoleum . Therefore,
Green Hills is in compliance with Condition No. 31.
• Condition 6.c – This condition allows for rooftop interments on Inspiration
Slope Mausoleum subject to certain conditions approved by the City Council
on December 7, 2021. These action item conditions include the requirement
for Green Hills to install and maintain equipment to more closely monitor rooftop
activities, and to install additional signs informing rooftop visitors of the
cemetery rules. Green Hills staff has provided City Staff with photographs
documenting compliance with these conditions, as shown at the following link:
Inspiration Slope Mausoleum Photos. Staff has reviewed these photos and
confirmed they adequately show the required monitoring equipment and
additional signage required by the updated Condition 6.c.
In summary, based on the discussion above, Staff has determined that Green Hills is in
compliance with the action item Conditions of Approval.
4
2. Compliance with Operational Conditions
Below are the Conditions of Approval that regulate operations at Green Hills to minimize
impacts to neighboring properties. The salient operational conditions include, but are not
limited to, the following:
• Condition No. 14 (Noise) - This condition requires that Green Hills shall
conduct its activities on site to not create noise nuisances to neighboring
properties and that no noise emanating from the property shall exceed 65 dBA
at the common property lines abutting a Residential Zoning District. Green Hills
has met this condition by continuing to implement various measures throughout
the park, including prohibiting amplified music in areas adjacent to residences,
limiting the length of time that the music plays, and having security patrol the
perimeter of the site to ensure that no music is played from visitors’ car radios
or portable radios.
During the recent permit process for the rooftop burials on Inspiration Slope
Mausoleum, some concerns were raised by an adjacent resident and NAC
member about the noise caused by gas-powered leaf blowers both in this area
(Inspiration Slope) as well as other areas of the site . After discussing possibly
adding a condition to the CUP that would prohibit gas-powered leaf blowers on
the roof of Inspiration Slope Mausoleum, the City Council directed Green Hills
to work with the resident. Since that meeting, Green Hills staff has initiated
contact with the resident and they both have agreed to continue to find a
solution amenable to both parties regarding leaf blowers. Green Hills staff will
keep City Staff apprised of the status of this discussion.
• Condition No. 16 (Security) – This condition requires that at least one security
employee shall be on duty patrolling and monitoring activities on the property
for the entirety of the cemetery operation hours. Green Hills has met this
condition by providing the minimum security but has also retained additional
security officers who patrol the site on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, from 11
a.m. until the park closes, and are available on-call when needed as well.
Additionally, Staff has received an email from one of the NAC members
expressing appreciation about the security cars they see from their house
monitoring the perimeter areas of the site.
• Condition No. 19 (Construction) – This condition requires that construction
on the site be maintained in a neat and orderly manner, including storage of
equipment and supplies, proper disposal of trash and debris, and that Green
Hills staff are properly trained in accordance with Cal OSHA rules. When Staff
visited the property in 2021, the grounds appeared to be free of trash and
debris. Additionally, Green Hills has stated that their employees complete Cal
OSHA training as well as continuing education, on a regular basis.
5
• Condition No. 20 (Hours of Operations) – This condition provides specific
hours of operations, which include specific hours for the facilities, construction,
and landscaping activities. During this review period, Staff received one email
about construction vehicles sometimes starting up before 7 a.m. Staff has
reminded Green Hills representatives about the permitted hours of
construction, which are 7 a.m. to 4 p.m., weekdays only. Additionally, Green
Hills has informed Staff that cemetery staff goes through the park
systematically and removes all visitors at the close of the property, with park
hours as follows:
Park Hours: 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. – Pacific Standard Time
7 a.m. to 7 p.m. – Pacific Daylight Time
Mausoleum Hours: 7 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. – Pacific Standard Time
7 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. – Pacific Daylight Time
• Mitigation Measures AQ-1 through AQ-Condition No. 14 – These conditions
include various measures to protect air quality, including but not limited to the
regular watering down of stockpiled fill and unpaved construction areas,
discontinuing earth moving during periods of high wind, and limiting the speed
of on-site construction vehicles on unpaved roads. Staff has received minimal
complaints during the 2021 calendar year, since most of the complaints have
been conveyed directly to Green Hills staff to address. However, one NAC
member’s email did confirm that there have been issues reported to Green Hills
staff regarding dust and dirt in the air from grading operations, as well as from
wind picking up stored soil. Staff has reminded Green Hills representatives
about these air quality related mitigation measures, and that they apply to both
active grading operations, as well as stored soil. Green Hills sta ted that it
continues to maintain a water truck onsite in Area Nos. 6 and 7. Green Hills
representatives have stated that they are vigilant in making sure they create a
hard-packed layer of dirt from the watering to prevent dust, and they also have
a sprinkler system on the far dirt road located along the south property line.
Most of the correspondence Staff has received since the last annual review has been
related to the Memorial Day Fireworks Special Use Permit, and the CUP revision
application for the rooftop burials on Inspiration Slope Mausoleum , but in general,
operational complaints submitted to Staff have substantially reduced over the past few
years. Representatives of the abutting Peninsula Verde Homeowners Association (HOA)
(to the north) and Rolling Hills Riviera HOA (to the south), who have made complaints in
the past, have indicated that the operational impacts have improved over the past couple
of years and that Green Hills has not only been responsive, but proac tive in addressing
operational concerns. Additionally, Staff has received a report from one of the NAC
members that they have been pleased with the maintenance of the podocarpus trees that
were planted along the southern property line to screen the storage area in Area 6, and
were also appreciative that Green Hills has continued to monitor noise levels on the site
from visitors’ cars, radios, etc. Staff is of the opinion that the number of complaints to the
6
City continues to decline because Green Hills has been preemptive in identifying and
addressing potential impacts before they become a problem, including informing
residents of upcoming large visitations and events. Therefore, Staff is of the opinion that
Green Hills is in compliance with its operational conditions for 2021.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
Public Notice and Correspondence
On January 13, 2022, a 15-day public notice inviting public comments was provided to all
property owners within a 700-foot radius of the site (expanded beyond the required 500-
foot radius), affected homeowners’ associations, listserv subscribers, members of the
NAC, and published in the Peninsula News. To date, Staff received no substantive
correspondence in response to the public notice. In the event any substantive public
correspondence is received after the transmittal of this staff report, it will be provided to
the City Council as late correspondence.
Annual Compliance Review
In July 2021, the City Council requested Staff to explore amending Chapter 17.60
(Conditional Use Permit) of the RPVMC to designate the Planning Commission as the
governing body to conduct future compliance reviews associated with all CUPs. Currently,
RPVMC § 17.60.050.D states that the final deciding body of a CUP shall conduct
compliance reviews of CUPs, unless otherwise stated in the Conditions of Approval of the
CUP.
A code amendment would be required to modify RPVMC § 17.60.050D to allow the
Planning Commission to conduct annual reviews for projects approved by the City
Council. However, Staff is of the opinion that this is not necessary, because the City
Council has the option to remand a matter back to the Planning Commission for review
and to make recommendations. Additionally, the City Council may choose to modify a set
of Conditions of Approval during a compliance review meeting, to require that future
compliance reviews be conducted by the Planning Commission in an advisory capacity
and forwarding a recommendation to the City Council. Ultimately, only the City Council,
and no other City commission or advisory board, can amen d a resolution and/or
Conditions of Approval the City Council adopted.
If it is the desire of the City Council to have the Planning Commission, or another advisory
board, participate in the annual compliance review for Green Hills, the following o ptions
are available to the City Council: 1) initiate a code amendment to modify RPVMC §
17.60.050.D to stipulate that annual reviews are conducted by the Planning Commission
instead of the final deciding body in an advisory role; 2) remand reviews to the Planning
Commission when deemed warranted; or 3) amend the project’s Conditions of Approval
to require that future compliance reviews be conducted by the Planning Commission in
an advisory role.
7
COVID-19 Related Operational Changes
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health
required Green Hills to adjust its operations in 2020, and it continues to operate under
these adjusted conditions, which include restricting the number of mourners at funerals.
ALTERNATIVES:
In addition to the Staff recommendation, the following alternative actions are available for
the City Council’s consideration:
1. Identify areas of concern regarding the property owner’s compliance with the
Council-adopted Conditions of Approval and direct Staff to address these
concerns at a future public hearing.
2. Direct Staff to revise the language and/or conditions based upon City Council
discussion and public comment and either read into the record the revisions or
continue this matter to a future public hearing.
3. Determine that Green Hills is not in compliance with the City Council-adopted
Conditions of Approval and provide Staff and Green Hills with further direction.
4. Remand the matter to the Planning Commission at a noticed public hearing to
consider compliance related matters and make recommendations to the City
Council for CUP revisions.
5. Direct Staff to revise the Conditions of Approval to require that future compliance
reviews are conducted by the Planning Commission in an advisory capacity.
6. Take no action.

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RANCHO PALOS
VERDES DOES HEREBY FIND, DETERMINE, AND RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1: CEQA Findings. Pursuant to the provisions of the California
Environmental Quality Act, Public Resources Code Sections 21000 et. seq. ("CEQA"),
the State's CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Section 15000 et.
seq., the City's Local CEQA Guidelines, and Government Code Section 65962.5(f)
Hazardous Waste and Substances Statement), this decision by the City Council (i)
constitutes minor modification to the existing Conditions of Approval of the Green Hills
Master Plan Conditional Use Permit; and (ii) will not have a significant effect on the
Resolution No 2021-66
Page 3 of 7A-3
environment. Therefore, this decision is not subject to CEQA pursuant to California Code
of Regulations Sections 15061(b)(2), and 15301.
Section 2: Municipal Code Findings for Modifications to Conditions. This is a de
novo hearing where the City Council has considered the evidence before it. The City
Council finds that this use dates back to 1948 and was annexed to the City in 1984 with
the original Master Plan approved in 1991, revised Master Plan approved in 2007 and
which has been updated from time to time, an Annual Review commenced in 2014 was
approved with modified conditions in 2015, an Annual Review approved with modified
conditions in 2017, an annual review approved with modified conditions in 2018, an
annual review approved with modified conditions in 2020, and the most recent annual
review approved in 2021. There is no expansion of the use beyond the Revised Master
Plan, and additional conditions have been imposed to minimize impacts to surrounding
properties and protect community health, safety, and general welfare. The changes to the
conditions being proposed do not affect the validity of the findings made in Resolution No.
2020-03. Accordingly, the Council finds:
A. That the site is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the proposed
use and for all of the yards, setbacks, walls, fences, landscaping and other
features required by this title or by conditions imposed under this section to
integrate said use with those on adjacent land and within the neighborhood. To
wit:
Green Hills Memorial Park's entrance is located at 27501 Western Avenue in the
northeast corner of the City, bordering the City of Lomita, the City of Rolling Hills
Estates, and the City of Los Angeles. The property is approximately 121 acres in size,
and is a privately owned and operated cemetery facility. Approximately 1,800 burials
occur annually at the cemetery. The site is, therefore, of a size and shape that allows
its use as a cemetery facility, including all required setbacks, landscaping and other
features. The entrance is sufficient to accommodate traffic into and out of the
cemetery.
The cemetery abuts residential properties to the north and south, a church complex
and reservoir land to the west, and residential and land that is currently under
development to the east (site of the Highpark/Ponte Vista residential development),
across Western Avenue. The use of the property is thus consistent with surrounding
uses and the adjacent neighborhood as a low-density development.
B. That the site for the proposed use relates to streets and highways sufficient
to carry the type and quantity of traffic generated by the subject use. To wit:
Green Hills Memorial Park has been in existence at this location since 1948. Its main
entrance is located on Western Avenue, a major thoroughfare that accommodates the
amount of vehicular traffic to and from the cemetery. The proposed changes to the
conditions will not negatively affect the traffic on Western Avenue as Western Avenue
will be sufficient to handle any additional traffic that may be created by the proposed
amendment, which allows burials on the rooftop of the Inspiration Slope Mausoleum.
Resolution No. 2021-66
Page 4 of 7A-4
Furthermore, no additional construction or grading is required for this request, as the
vaults for burials were installed when the Inspiration Slope Mausoleum was
constructed.
C. That, in approving the subject use at the specific location, there will be no
significant adverse effects on adjacent property or the permitted use thereof.
To wit:
The conditions imposed minimize impacts on neighboring properties. Conditions
address, among other issues: parking, grading, noise, landscaping, setbacks,
mitigation monitoring, Master Plan compliance reviews, dust, emissions by
construction vehicles and equipment, construction, dirt storage, lighting, employee
training and complaints, trash and debris, storage of equipment and supplies, fences,
signage, and storm water mitigation. This is further described in Finding E below.
D. That the proposed use is not contrary to the general plan. To wit:
Green Hills Memorial Park and any proposed burials within the site, including those
on the rooftop of the Inspiration Slope Mausoleum are consistent with the General
Plan's Cemetery zoning designation of the site, and with the types of land uses
permitted within the Development Code's Cemetery land use designation. Further, the
provision for additional burial space on the site may help to serve the cultural and
social needs of the residents.
E. That conditions regarding any of the requirements listed in this Section,
which the City Council finds to be necessary to protect the health, safety, and
general welfare, have been imposed. To wit:
a. Setbacks and buffers;
b. Fences or walls;
c. Lighting;
d. Vehicular ingress and egress;
e. Noise, vibration, odors and similar emissions;
f. Landscaping;
g. Maintenance of structures, grounds, or signs;
h. Service roads or alleys; and
i. Such other conditions as will make possible development of the City in an orderly
and efficient manner and in conformity with the intent and purposes set forth in this
title.
Some minor changes to the conditions of approval are proposed as part of the current
project, which will also meet the intent of this condition.
Section 4: Modification of Conditions. Attached hereto as Exhibit 'A' are
conditions governing this use, both existing and modified conditions, all incorporated
herein. As set forth above, this determination includes amending one existing condition
of approval of the Green Hills Master Plan to allow burials on the rooftop of the Inspiration

Summary Report of the July 26, 2021 Meeting

Amy Seeraty, Senior Planner

Summary of Discussion
I. Introductions and Opening Remarks
II. Project/construction update at Green Hills Memorial Park.
Green Hills (GH) Staff mentioned the grading permit they have recently submitted for the
Sky Ridge area of Area Four of the Master Plan. They also mentioned that the other projects
that have been under construction are either finished or almost completed. They also state
that one of the main reasons they wanted to hold an NAC meeting at this time is to apprise
the NAC that they are trying to increase the height of a portion of the southern property line
wall, up to the 8 feet height allowed by the Conditional Use Permit. They are looking to
extend the portion that is already 8 feet in height further towards Western Avenue. This will
be accomplished by installing a matching vinyl panel on top of the existing block wall.
Mr. Howells then commented that he appreciates GH working on this issue with him, as he
has small children and wants to increase the privacy that will improved once the podocarpus
trees that were planted grow taller. GH Staff also clarified later in the meeting that the fence
addition will be flush to the existing wall, i.e., there will be no gap between the top of the wall
and the fence portion. GH Staff also mentioned that they will completing maintenance on
the podocarpus soon to help them grow and that they will clean up any clippings that may
fall into the neighboring properties.
The last item that GH updated the Committee about was regarding the lawn crypts at top of
Inspiration Slope Mausolem. They had an agreement originally when the structure was built
that the crypts could be installed, but not used until GH asked the City for permission. GH
staff stated that they are now looking for permission to proceed with using these spaces.
C-1
Mr. Turner asked if this was because other areas along the sides had filled up, and GH staff
stated that it was because they are trying to plan ahead for space that they need, and also
try to use sites away from property lines first when possible. No construction would be
required in order for them to begin using this area.
Discussion ensued about the Inspiration Gardens area that was being completed and the
currently proposed grading at Sky Ridge. GH staff also informed the committee that they
have increased number of security personnel on the weekends.
III. Questions and Comments
Mr. Howells asked what type of machinery is allowed on the weekend. Mr. Resich stated
that they use different machinery for construction and burials, and only use burial related
machinery on the weekends. Mr. Howells also inquired what the anticipated timeline is for
the fencing installation on top of the existing wall. Mr. Resich stated that it was scheduled
prior to this meeting, but that the first available opening was in October. Discussion ensued
further about the fence details, including why additional blocks were not just added to the
existing wall (engineering issue), location (would start two houses away from Mr. Howells
and then run about 500 feet towards Western Ave.) City Staff mentioned that a site plan
and elevation of the proposed fence would be needed, simply to document the proposal.
Discussion ensued about the music on the property, and GH staff stated they try to not allow
music on the periphery of the property, and limit the length of time that the music plays.
There was also further discussion about what type of additional security has been added,
and what can be done if there are issues after hours. GH staff stated that they have retained
four off-duty officers who are trained in de-escalation techniques. Mr. Turner asked how late
the security staff are there, and Mr. Resich responded that security leaves at 10:30 but there
is a 24-hour line for emergencies.
Mr. Howell also asked about drones, as he recently saw some at night at his property. GH
staff stated they do not allow them, unless they are FAA approved and approved by GH,
and only during the day.
Mr. Turner also asked about some unauthorized tree trimming that was recently completed
on Green Hills’ property by a neighboring resident. Mr. Resich said that he tried to contact
the offending resident, but was not able to speak with them. Discussion ensued that it may
be a good idea for the surrounding HOAs to send bylaws to new owners, in addition to
information about GH.
IV. Adjournment
The meeting was adjourned at 5:10PM.

Amy,
Thank you for sending the notes from the last NAC meeting.
We've been very happy with the maintenance of the border trees (Podocarpus) as they are thickening up due to proper maintenance. We'd like the trees to be allowed to continue to grow in height if possible,
to help hide the storage area in Area 6, but we understand that GHs is likely trying to make them a uniform height for all residents. We had a couple of trees look as though they weren't getting water last
month, but that was quickly remedied by Nick Resich once I notified him. We're happy that our neighbors down the way on Feliciano will be finally getting some privacy and some "buffer" with the installation
of the vinyl fencing as well.
As for security, we're grateful that Green Hills has continued to monitor the noise level (from cars, radios, etc.). We often see security cars monitoring the perimeter areas from our upstairs window. Would you
please provide me with updated security numbers (for both during and after hours) just to be sure we have the correct contacts? I'll be sure to forward them to the rest of our RHRHOA Board Members to be
sure that neighboring residents have the correct contact information.
Dust and dirt tends to continue to be the biggest concern that I hear from our neighbors along the southern border of Green Hills (on Feliciano). The amount of soil that is moved varies from time to time, but
calls have been made to remind GHs maintenance staff to properly spray water before moving large amounts of soil, as well as to spray when there are large piles of soil that are close to the neighboring wall
on extremely windy days. Again, if these things are reported to Nick Resich, he will quickly respond to them, however many neighbors continue to complain about the issue.
Also, would you please clarify at what time in the morning large equipment (trucks, tractors, etc.) can begin to work each day, including weekend days. There have been a few incidences where large
equipment has been used as early as 6:45AM. We are up early so it doesn't bother us so much, but I have heard other neighbors complain about this exact issue. Reverse "beeping" from trucks, as well as
large equipment noise can be upsetting to residents in the early morning. And again, there have not been excessive instances of early noise from large equipment, but I do believe that in the interest of
keeping the peace of all involved, it would be good to confirm regulations and guidelines.
Thanks again for sending the notes. Not sure if my comments can be entered or taken into account, but I just wanted to share.
Sincerely,
Jane Gualeni

Hello again-
Just following up on emails. I checked with Green Hills’ staff, and there is no current plan submitted for a mausoleum at this time. They stated that you might be referring to the
water feature and retaining wall at Inspiration Gardens. Is this what you are referring to? If so, I would be glad to send you plans. Thank you.

Subject: Greenhills project
Amy,
I can't believe I'm writing to you again, but this time...it's not a matter of my home and preservation of view from the
Trump project, it's a matter of where I'll be for eternity.
I have my plot in Greenhills, Har Shalom, and I must have been dealing with the grief of putting my husband to rest when
this greenhills project started. I would like to learn more about the mausoleum being built next door to Har Shalom. I have
gone online to the RPV planning website but there is little shown. Please tell me where I can see full plans of the site being
built next door to Har Shalom.
Thank you,
Elizabeth Sax
