CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARING REGARDING THE FAILURE OF BROADMOOR SAN
CLEMENTE COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION TO ENFORCE CERTAIN COVENANTS, CONDITIONS AND RESTRICTIONS (CC&Rs)
..body
Fiscal Impact:
Should the City Council resolve to assume the enforcement of the Broadmoor San Clemente Community Association’s (“Broadmoor Association”) covenants, conditions, and restrictions (“CC&Rs”), City staff would anticipate significant out-of-pocket expenses for legal services estimated at between $200,000 and $250,000. The CC&Rs also provide that the prevailing party, whether the City or the defendants, is entitled to their attorney’s fees, so these out-of-pocket costs for legal services may be reimbursed if the City prevails. However, if the City does not prevail in litigation, the total cost for legal services could exceed $500,000, especially if appeals are filed in the matter. There may be other costs associated with City staff time, but those costs are dependent on the degree of staff assistance in addressing the CC&R violations and cannot be calculated at this time. The CC&Rs provide that the City would first seek recoupment of these costs from the HOA itself, and if they fail to comply, then as a uniform assessment against all properties within the HOA. Staff’s recommendation to assign enforcement rights to the neighboring property owners would not incur such costs, and are anticipated to be approximately $2,000 for legal services in connection with effectuating the assignment.
Summary:
The first public hearing on this matter was held at the November 19, 2024 City Council meeting.
At that time, the City Council continued this item to a future meeting to allow the Broadmoor Association and the Calle Felicidad homeowners (“Felicidad homeowners”) time to mediate and resolve the issues concerning the trees exceeding the height limitations within the Broadmoor Association community. On January 14, 2025, the City Council directed staff to return this item for consideration at a City Council meeting in March, 2025.
This report provides a discussion of the events that have transpired since November 19, 2024, and options for City Council consideration in addressing this matter. Attachment 2 provides a copy of the agenda report presented on November 19, 2024, which includes additional detail on the background of this issue. Attachment 3 provides an excerpted copy of the minutes for the November 19, 2024 City Council meeting.
11 Meeting Date: March 18, 2025 Agenda Item: 8A.
CITY OF SAN CLEMENTE 2
Discussion:
After the November 19, 2024 City Council meeting, staff facilitated initial contact between the Broadmoor Association’s legal representatives and HOA managers, and the Felicidad homeowners.
On February 4 and 5, 2025, the Broadmoor Association’s legal representatives sent individual emails to the Felicidad homeowners specifying the process the Broadmoor Association had developed to address the issue and indicating how they could initiate this process. A copy of one of these emails is provided as Attachment 4.
On February 5, 2025, the Broadmoor Association’s legal representatives also sent a letter to the City Council concerning this process, including additional details not provided to the Felicidad homeowners, and their opinion that due to the process provided to address the Felicidad homeowners’ complaints that “the City Council cannot reasonably determine that the Association has failed to perform its duties under the Declaration [CC&Rs].” A copy of this letter is provided as Attachment 5.
According to the emails sent to the Felicidad homeowners and the letter sent to the City Council, the Broadmoor Association has established a procedure whereby the Felicidad homeowners may submit a complaint to the Association’s Community Manager about “a tree or other structure on a neighboring property along Calle Delicada [which] exceeds 17 feet in height and is directly impacting [their] view in a significant way.” Upon receipt of a complaint, “a representative from Compass Property Management and the Association will review [the] complaint” and if a violation of the CC&Rs is found, the Broadmoor Association will take “appropriate enforcement action with the property owner.” While the emails to Felicidad homeowners include a note that “this process may take between 60 to 180 days or more, depending on the circumstances,” the letter sent to the City Council includes a much more potentially arduous process.
The letter sent to the City Council from the Broadmoor Association’s legal representatives, dated February 5, 2025, expands on the process provided in the emails to the Felicidad homeowners.
That letter indicates that after the Broadmoor Association receives and confirms a complaint, and is unable to abate the violation through their administrative process, that the Broadmoor Association then would offer an Internal Dispute Resolution (IDR) meeting between the Association and the property owner. If that is unsuccessful at resolving the issue, then the Broadmoor Association would offer Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR), a formal arbitration hearing. According the letter, if the ADR process is refused by the property owner, the Broadmoor Association may then proceed with litigation, which may take, “anywhere from 12 to 24 months or longer to complete.” The letter goes on to state, that “[the] City Council and Calle Felicidad owners are greatly mistaken if they believe the Association can just go and cut down a tree on private property in the next 30 days.”
In City staff’s review of this matter, there are a number of statements made by the Broadmoor Association’s legal representatives to the Felicidad homeowners and the City Council that are inaccurate, or create an unnecessarily burdensome process.
First, the Broadmoor Association states that they will investigate complaints that include (1) an allegation of a violation of the CC&Rs related to the height of the tree, and (2) an unreasonable 12 Meeting Date: March 18, 2025 Agenda Item: 8A.
CITY OF SAN CLEMENTE 3
impact to a Felicidad homeowner’s view. It was clear at the November 19, 2024 meeting that the City Council was concerned about the existence of violations of the CC&Rs that were required to be included pursuant to the Broadmoor development’s entitlements. Though the issue was raised due to the existence of view obstructions, the City Council’s discussion centered on a desire for the parties to resolve those CC&R violations. While the process provided by the Broadmoor Association is similar to the process to address complaints from its own HOA members, violations do not also require a specific, adverse impact (such as view obstructions) to be out of compliance with the CC&Rs; they simply provide for a height limit. It is an unnecessary addition to require that the violations at issue also include establishing a subjective determination of an adverse impact based on that violation of the CC&Rs.
Second, the Broadmoor Association’s legal representatives state that the Association cannot “go on to private property and trim or remove these trees.” However, Article VIII, Section 4 of the CC&Rs provides that: “[the] Association and its managers and agents and employees shall have the right, after reasonable notice and at reasonable hours, to enter upon any Lot for the purpose of performing its duties and exercising its powers as set forth in this Article VIII.” Article X, Section 4 similarly provides: “the Association [has] the right to enter upon the property upon or as to which said violation or breach exists and to summarily abate and remove, at the expense of the Owner thereof, any structure, thing or condition that may exist thereon contrary to the intent and meaning of the CC&Rs.”
Third, the Broadmoor CC&Rs do not contain any requirements stating that the HOA must exhaust internal remedies, such as IDR or ADR, prior to filing a lawsuit. In contrast, Article X, Section 4 specifically states that the HOA has the “right to prosecute a proceeding at law or equity against the person or persons who have violated or are attempting to violate” the CC&Rs (Attachment 2, Exhibit B). Furthermore, these internal mediation options are required only if a party triggers it. If the violating homeowner does not request an internal dispute procedure, the Broadmoor Association is not required to participate in one. In addition, if the Broadmoor Association did file a lawsuit, they would seek an injunction ordering the homeowners to comply with the CC&Rs – assuming the Broadmoor Association does not enter the premises and abate the violation themselves. The requirements for ADR do not apply to cases seeking an injunction, so that process would not be applicable in that case.
Today, at least 9 of the 19 lots on Calle Delicada have trees that remain non-compliant with the height restrictions in the CC&Rs. At this time, the Felicidad homeowners continue requesting City assistance in requiring enforcement of the CC&Rs.
The City’s enforcement authority is identified within Article 12 of the Broadmoor Association’s CC&Rs, “Powers of the City of San Clemente”, which provides:
If the City Council of the City of San Clemente (“City”) reasonably determines at a public hearing held after not less than then (10) days prior written notice to the Association that the Association has failed to perform any of its duties under the Declaration, the City shall have the right, but not the obligation, to thereafter assume the performance of any such duty until such time as the Association demonstrates 13 Meeting Date: March 18, 2025 Agenda Item: 8A.
CITY OF SAN CLEMENTE 4
its ability to reassume such performance; provided, however, that the City shall not exercise any of the rights granted under this Article XII unless, after giving to the Association written notice of its determination that the Association has failed to perform its duties under the Declaration, the Association does not cure such failure within thirty (30) days from the date of receipt by the Association of said notice. In connection with any such performance by the City, it may exercise any of the rights and powers granted to the Association under this Declaration.
The reasonable costs (“Costs”) of any such performance by the City shall be borne by the Association provided however that in the event such Costs are not paid to the City by the Association within sixty 60 days after the City has furnished to the Association a statement therefor, the City shall have the right but not the duty, to levy and collect uniform assessment against each Lot within Broadmoor San Clemente to cover the Costs. Any such assessment shall be governed by the provisions of Articles IV and V of the Declaration.
On March 6, 2025, the City sent via certified and regular mail, and email, a notice of this continued hearing to the Broadmoor San Clemente Community Association, and to its legal representatives via email, pursuant to Article 12 (Attachment 6).
Conclusion
There is substantial evidence that the Broadmoor Association and homeowners on Calle Delicada are responsible for maintaining their landscaping at, or below, the height limits contained within the Broadmoor Association’s CC&Rs. Both the Broadmoor Association and the City have enforcement authority to ensure height limitations per Broadmoor Association’s CC&Rs are maintained in compliance. For the City to exercise its powers under the CC&Rs, the City Council would need to conduct the public hearing and determine that the Broadmoor Association has failed to enforce its CC&Rs and failed to cure such non-performance. Upon such determination, the City Council has multiple options, listed below, to consider. Staff’s recommendation is based on the City’s past practice of not enforcing private CC&Rs and of the significant expense anticipated to address landscaping blocking private views.
Council Options:
After conducting the public hearing,
The City Council could determine that the Broadmoor Association has failed to enforce its CC&Rs and has failed to cure its nonperformance and adopt the proposed Resolution 24-173 (Attachment 1) to assume and assign its enforcement authority to another party, such as homeowners on Calle Felicidad, effectively allowing that party or parties to act on behalf of the City to enforce the CC&Rs; or
The City Council could determine that the Broadmoor Community Association is in the process of initiating enforcement of its CC&Rs, and continue the public hearing to a date certain, such as September 16, 2025, on the condition and to allow the Association’s process to continue according to the timelines stated in their emails to the Felicidad homeowners. As 14 Meeting Date: March 18, 2025 Agenda Item: 8A.
CITY OF SAN CLEMENTE 5
part of this option, staff recommends that the City Council provide direction to the Broadmoor Association that violations are expected to be abated prima facie (on their face), not on the basis that they also require the subjective determination that one’s view is also being obstructed, and that enforcement is to occur in as expedited a manner as the law permits; or The City Council could decide to not intervene in this matter further, whether or not it declares the Broadmoor Association has failed to enforce its CC&Rs and failed to cure; or The City Council could determine that the Broadmoor Community Association has failed to enforce its CC&Rs and has failed to cure its nonperformance and that the City should assume the performance of such duties under the CC&Rs, and request staff to return to a future City Council meeting with a resolution declaring such if the Broadmoor Association does not cure the violations in the interim.
Environmental Review/Analysis:
Environmental review was conducted during the original discretionary review of the tract map applications. No changes to the original approvals are proposed, only the maintenance of those approvals, so this action does not constitute a project under CEQA. In the alternative, the City Council could find this project exempt from the requirements of CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15321 (Class 21: Enforcement Actions).

Staff recommends that the City Council open the public hearing, receive public testimony and comment, close the public hearing and determine that the Broadmoor Association has initiated enforcement of its CC&Rs, and continue the public hearing to September 16, 2025, to allow the Broadmoor Association’s process to continue according to their specified timelines, and direct the Broadmoor Association to abate violations prima facie, not subject to a determination that a Felicidad homeowner’s view is obstructed.

PUBLIC HEARING REGARDING THE FAILURE OF BROADMOOR SAN CLEMENTE
COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION TO ENFORCE CERTAIN COVENANTS, CONDITIONS AND RESTRICTIONS (CC&Rs)
..body
Fiscal Impact:
Should the City Council resolve to assume the enforcement of the Broadmoor San Clemente Community Association’s covenants, conditions, and restrictions (“CC&Rs”), City staff would anticipate significant out-of-pocket expenses for legal services estimated at between $200,000 and $250,000. The CC&Rs also provide that the prevailing party, whether the City or the defendants, is entitled to their attorney’s fees, so these out-of-pocket costs for legal services may be reimbursed if the City prevails. However, if the City does not prevail in litigation, the total cost for legal services could exceed $500,000, especially if appeals are filed in the matter. There may be other costs associated with City staff time, but those costs are dependent on the degree of staff assistance in addressing the CC&R violations and cannot be calculated at this time. Staff’s recommendation to assign enforcement rights to the neighboring property owners would not incur such costs, and are anticipated to be approximately $2,000 for legal services in connection with effectuating the assignment.
Summary:
There are tree height limitations contained within the Broadmoor San Clemente Community Association’s (“Broadmoor Association”) CC&Rs that the Broadmoor Association has failed to enforce. These height limitations contained in the Broadmoor Association’s CC&Rs were required to be included pursuant to the City’s approval of the Broadmoor development, at the request of the property owners who lived adjacent to that development at the time that it was proposed, including owners of the lots on Calle Felicidad. Current property owners on Calle Felicidad, upslope from the Broadmoor Association, and not within it, have complained, and pursued civil litigation, to require the enforcement of the Broadmoor Association’s CC&Rs related to tree heights. At this time, the Calle Felicidad homeowners are requesting City assistance in requiring enforcement of the CC&Rs to preserve their private views.
Background:
The Broadmoor Association consists of multiple tracts developed around 1976 on the slope above San Clemente High School. During the public hearings related to these tract map approvals, neighboring homeowners above the Broadmoor development expressed concern about the potential loss or obstruction of their ocean views. Residents upslope, including those on Calle Felicidad (part of a development that was approved in 1966), requested that measures be put in place to protect their views if they were to support the development below their homes. The 1 Attachment 2
20 Meeting Date: November 19, 2024 Agenda Item: 8F
CITY OF SAN CLEMENTE
City’s municipal code does not protect private views; however, views can be considered during reviews of discretionary permits, such as tract maps. Tract 8963 was approved without any explicit conditions related to views, but the final Broadmoor development’s CC&Rs do limit tree heights, among other development standards.
Negotiations During Tract Map Review:
Residents on Calle Felicidad, and other upslope property owners, invested in efforts to protect their views since the beginning of Broadmoor’s development. Development efforts for Tract 8963 stalled in 1973. Per the City Engineer at that time, the Environmental Impact Report revealed Calle Delicada was not wide enough to meet City standards. Calle Felicidad property owners, through meetings with the Developer of the Broadmoor tracts, were able to facilitate approval of the Broadmoor development by supporting two modifications to the development proposal (discussed in further detail in the following paragraph) enabling Tract 8963 to meet the City’s development standards. In exchange, language in the developer’s approval documents would provide upslope property owners, including Calle Felicidad, with view protection.
Per declarations submitted by four involved parties in those negotiations (Attachment 4), a meeting occurred in November of 1973 to discuss compromises that would create adequate building-pad sizes for the Calle Delicada lots and satisfy residents upslope. These upslope homeowners allowed Broadmoor’s developer to recontour and steepen their downhill slope to make room for the Broadmoor development. They also supported a variance request to have sidewalks on only one side of Calle Delicada.
212
Meeting Date: November 19, 2024 Agenda Item: 8F
CITY OF SAN CLEMENTE
In exchange for supporting the Broadmoor developer in their efforts to construct Tract 8963, residents on Calle Felicidad requested that the Broadmoor CC&Rs include height restrictions in return. The Broadmoor developer agreed to add a height limit to houses, landscaping, and structures in the Broadmoor Association. The City’s approval of the development also required these CC&Rs with provisions for height restrictions as a condition of approval for Tract 8963. The supplemental declaration to the Broadmoor Association’s CC&Rs, recorded in 1976, states as follows:
Lots 1 through 19, inclusive, of Tract 8963… No building, structure, improvement or addition (excluding chimneys and roof vents) shall be constructed, erected, altered placed or permitted to remain on any portion of the property which exceeds one story in height with a maximum of 17 feet. No tree, bush, or shrub shall be placed or maintained upon (i) any Lot described in Exhibit “A”, attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference, which exceeds 17 feet in height or (ii) upon any other Lot in the Property which exceeds 20 feet in height.
Litigation and Interpretation:
There is an ongoing dispute between residents on Calle Felicidad and Calle Delicada regarding enforcement of the height restrictions outlined in the section above. In 2018, legal representatives for residents on Calle Felicidad requested that the City enforce height restrictions in the Broadmoor Association, citing the City’s right to enforcement under the CC&Rs (Attachment 5).
The City Attorney advised that the City lacked the resources to use this enforcement authority in any but the most egregious cases, and agreed to provide declarations or documents in a civil matter and facilitate entry into the right of way to abate the non-compliance (Attachment 6).
A resident on Calle Felicidad engaged in civil litigation the next year, 2019. However, in 2024, the court ruled in favor of the defendants, citing that, while the City and Broadmoor Association have the authority to enforce height restrictions in the Broadmoor Association, the plaintiff (Calle Felicidad homeowner) does not. See Attachment 9 for a copy of the court’s decision. During this time frame, the plaintiff’s legal representation further requested that the City exercise its enforcement authority (Attachment 7). City Council declined to do so on June 21, 2021, and the City Attorney sent a letter to the plaintiff’s attorney reiterating this position (Attachment 8).
Current Status of Issue:
Today, at least 9 of the 19 lots in Tract 8963 have trees that are not compliant with the height restrictions in the CC&Rs, as well as many other trees on other streets in the Broadmoor Association. Some examples of the non-compliant trees are presented in Attachment 11.
Residents of Calle Felicidad have asked the Broadmoor Association to enforce the height restrictions on these lots, and to-date have not been successful in those attempts. 223
Meeting Date: November 19, 2024 Agenda Item: 8F
CITY OF SAN CLEMENTE
With the court’s ruling limiting their options, the Calle Felicidad homeowners have continued to request the City exercise its enforcement authority. The City sent a letter to the Broadmoor Association on June 26, 2024, demanding abatement of the over-height vegetation in their association within thirty (30) days and providing notice and an opportunity to cure its noncompliance and failure to perform its obligations under its CC&Rs (Attachment 10). The actions requested of the Broadmoor Association have not occurred and ample time has been provided to the Broadmoor Association to address this matter.
The City’s enforcement authority is identified within Article 12 of the CC&Rs, “Powers of the City of San Clemente”, which provides:
If the City Council of the City of San Clemente (“City”) reasonably determines at a public hearing held after not less than then (10) days prior written notice to the Association that the Association has failed to perform any of its duties under the Declaration, the City shall have the right, but not the obligation, to thereafter assume the performance of any such duty until such time as the Association demonstrates its ability to reassume such performance; provided, however, that the City shall not exercise any of the rights granted under this Article XII unless, after giving to the Association written notice of its determination that the Association has failed to perform its duties under the Declaration, the Association does not cure such failure within thirty (30) days from the date of receipt by the Association of said notice. In connection with any such performance by the City, it may exercise any of the rights and powers granted to the Association under this Declaration.
The reasonable costs (“Costs”) of any such performance by the City shall be borne by the Association provided however that in the event such Costs are not paid to the City by the Association within sixty 60 days after the City has furnished to the Association a statement therefor, the City shall have the right but not the duty, to levy and collect uniform assessment against each Lot within Broadmoor San Clemente to cover the Costs. Any such assessment shall be governed by the provisions of Articles IV and V of the Declaration.
On November 8, 2024, the City sent via certified and regular mail, and email, a notice of this hearing to the Broadmoor San Clemente Community Association pursuant to Article 12 (Attachment 12).
Conclusion
There is substantial evidence that the Broadmoor Association and homeowners on Calle Delicada are responsible for maintaining their landscaping at, or below, the height limits contained within the Broadmoor Association’s CC&Rs. Both the Broadmoor Association and the City have enforcement authority to ensure height limitations per Broadmoor CC&Rs are 234
Meeting Date: November 19, 2024 Agenda Item: 8F
CITY OF SAN CLEMENTE
maintained in compliance. For the City to exercise its powers under the CC&Rs, the City Council would need to conduct the public hearing and determine that the Broadmoor Association has failed to enforce its CC&Rs and failed to cure such non-performance. Upon such determination, the City Council has multiple options, listed below, to consider. Staff’s recommendation is based on the City’s past practice of not enforcing private CC&Rs and of the significant expense anticipated to address landscaping blocking private views.
Council Options:
After conducting the public hearing,
The City Council could determine that the Broadmoor Community Association has failed to enforce its CC&Rs and has failed to cure its nonperformance and adopt the proposed resolution to assume and assign its enforcement authority to another party, such as homeowners on Calle Felicidad, effectively allowing that party or parties to act on behalf of the City to enforce the CC&Rs; or
The City Council could decide to not intervene in this matter, whether or not it declares the Broadmoor Association has failed to enforce its CC&Rs and failed to cure; or The City Council could determine that the Broadmoor Community Association has failed to enforce its CC&Rs and has failed to cure its nonperformance and that the City is assuming the performance of such duties under the CC&Rs, and request staff to return to a future City Council meeting with a resolution declaring such if the Broadmoor Association does not cure the violations in the interim.
Environmental Review/Analysis:
Environmental review was conducted during the original discretionary review of the tract map applications. No changes to the original approvals are proposed, only the maintenance of those approvals, so this action does not constitute a project under CEQA. In the alternative, the City Council could find this project exempt from the requirements of CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15321 (Class 21: Enforcement Actions).
Recommended Actions:
Staff Recommendation ..recommendation
Staff recommends that the City Council open the public hearing, receive public testimony and comment, close the public hearing and determine that the Broadmoor Community Association has failed to enforce its CC&Rs and has failed to cure such non-performance and adopt Resolution No. 24-173, assuming and assigning its enforcement authority to the Calle Felicidad property owners.

DECLARATION OF LAURENCE R. LIZOTTE
I, Laurence R. Lizotte, make the following statements based on my own personal knowledge of the facts and circumstances stated herein:
1. During the early to midw l 970s, I was a Senior Vice President with Broadmoor Homes, Inc., (the "Company") the developer of the Broadmoor Community in San Clemente, California ("Broadmoor").
2. As the Se.nior Vice President, my responsibilities included obtaining approvals from the City of San Clemente so that the Company could build Broadmoor. I attended Planning Commission and City Council meetings, and I also met with members of a community group called the "Rancho Margarita Associates" including a woman named Sally Sargent, who was one of the leaders of the group and who lived at 203 Calle Felicidad in San Clemente ..
3. During these meetings with the City and the Rancho Margarita Associates, it was emphasized to me and the Company that existing ocean and coastal views were extremely valuable to the homeowners on Calle Felicidad, the street directly above where we proposed to build the Broadmoor Community. In response to these concerns, the City imposed conditions of approval concerning height restrictions on structures and landscaping.
4. In addition, through these meeting compromises and concessions were negotiated 18 to the satisfaction ofBroadmoor, the Felicidad homeowners, the City's Planning Commission 19 and the City Council related to: (a) the regrading of the Felicidad backyard slopes, and (b) the 20 elimination of the sidewalk requirement on the east side of Calle Delicada in order to gain more 21 platform area to meet City Ordinance requirements to build the Delicada houses. Sally Sargent 22 and her group agreed to these concessions in exchange for permanent Delicada height 23 restrictions so as to preserve views from Calle Felicidad. 24 5. On November 28, l 973, I attended a meeting of the San Clemente Planning 25 Commission at which it passed a motion to approve our housing plan for Broadmoor with a 26 condition of approval requiring the Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions ("CC&Rs'') to state 27 that all homes be single story and no higher than 1 7 feet. (See pp. 6-7 of the San Clemente 28 Planning Commission minutes for its November 28, 1973, meeting attache·d hereto as Exhibit 1.) DECLARA TlON OF LAURENCE LIZOTTE
EXHIBIT D
64 46
1 6. On January 7, 1976, I attended a meeting of the San Clemente City Council at 2 which the City considered and approved the tract map for homes that would be placed on Calle 3 Delicada. During this meeting, Ms. Sargent asked for assurances that certain provisions in the 4 final map approval requiring various restrictions be contained in the CC&Rs when recorded with 5 the County. I recall that Ms. Sargent was referencing height related conditions of approval 6 including a 17 foot height restriction on structures and a 17 foot height restriction on trees, 7 bushes and shrubs. (Seep. 7 of the San Clemente City Council minutes for its January 7, 1976, 8 meeting attached hereto as Exhibit 2.)
9 7. The Company accepted these conditions of approval and stated that they would be 10 included in the CC&Rs and recorded with the County. Following that hearing, the Company 11 signed off on a Supplementary Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions for the 19 12 lots on Calle Delicada and as required by the City we included a 17 foot height restriction on 13 structures and a 17 foot height restriction on trees, bushes and shrubs. 14 I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the State of California that the 15 foregoing is true and correct.

28 DECLARATION OF SALLY A. SARGENT
I, Sally A Sargent, currently residing at 1121 Jugador Ct., San Marcos, CA 92078, make the following statements based on my own personal knowledge of the facts and circumstances stated herein:
1. I was a resident of City of San Clemente (''The City") during the period of time that Landmark Financial Corp, and subsequently, Richard B. Smith Co which became Broadmoor Homes, Inc. ("Broadmoor") requested approvals from the City of San Clemente to build homes on Tract 8162, the greater Broadmoor development and Tract 8963, which represents the 19 houses on Calle Delicada and their common areas. This period of the development approval phase of the Broadmoor Community lasted from approximately 1973 to 1976.
2. I lived at 203 Calle Felicidad, San Clemente, CA 92672, together with my late husband Donald Sargent during the development approval phase of the Broadrnoor Community.
3. Calle Felicidad ("Felicidad") is the street directly above Calle Delicada ("Delicada").
4. From our home on Felicidad we had a wonderful, unobstructed view of the ocean and coastline, Dana Point Harbor and Catalina Island. Prior to the Broadmoor development, there were no homes built on the hillside between the houses on Calle Felicidad and San Clemente High School.
5. The houses on Felicidad were built by Pacesetter Development Company and my home was built in 1966 as part of the residential development in the City known as Rancho Margarita. Felicidad is the lowest street in the Rancho Margarita Development. Other Rancho Margarita houses were built further east and up the hill from Felicidad. The Rancho Margafita homes were single story and terraced at approximately 20 ft. or greater elevation intervals on the hillside providing the homeowners with ocean views.
6. In the early 1970's Landmark Financial Group planned on building two-story single-family residential homes on tracts 8162 and 8963, Delicada, which are located directly downhill from Felicidad.

7. Our immediate concern was that the two-story houses would eliminate our cherished ocean views. Consequently, a group of Felicidad neighbors and a few residents on neighboring streets formed a group known as the "Rancho Margarita Associates". The goal of the Rancho Margarita Associates was to communicate our concerns to the City Planning Commission, the City Council and the developers of the 8162 and 8963 tracts, in order to protect the views on Calle Felicidad and any other factors which would negatively impact the Rancho Margarita Associates ("RM Associates") such as traffic and housing density.
8. The RM Associates filed petitions and comment letters with the San Clemente Planning Commission and City Council and attended Planning Commission and Council Meetings in order to express our concerns about development of the downhill tracts. I personally attended many Planning Commission and City Council meetings and was one of the more active and outspoken members of the RM Associates.
9. The RM Associates, which included at least 65 participants, became well known to City officials. Apart from my late husband and me, the RM Associates included multiple other neighbors living on Felicidad including Jay and Susan Rice, William Kerns, Fred Keeler, Don Stenerson, Frank and Maryanne Dreher, Richard and Karoline Koester to name a few.
10. The 65 members of RM Associates petitioned the City to not deviate from the established Code requirements recommended by the City's Committee on Subdivisions as Landmark, the developer at that time, had requested multiple variances from the Code which we felt would have impacted the Felicidad homeowners. (See p. 2 of San Clemente Planning Commission Minutes of January 10, 1973, attached hereto as Exhibit 1.)
11. During the January 10, 1973, Planning Commission meeting, my neighbor, _fred Keeler, living at 205 Felicidad, specifically asked for clarification as to whether his view would be obstructed by the proposed terraces. He was informed by the developers that the terraces were proposed for 16 to 20 ft. of elevation change so that each terrace would have a view. (Exhibit I at p. 4.)
12. There was substantial opposition by the Felicidad neighbors against the Landmark -3-

development. After much discussion with the representatives from Landmark:, Landmark agreed to include in their proposed development CC&Rs that would only permit single story houses to be built on lots facing Delicada specifically so that the views from homes on adjacent tracts would not be obstructed. The houses on Felicidad are the adjacent tract.
13. Eventually, Landmark Financial Group lost its option to develop the property and it was taken up by Richard B. Smith, Co which became Broadmoor Homes, Inc. and acquired the option. Broadmoor subsequently continued with the plans, originally started by Landmark, to seek approvals for development of the Broadmoor community, which would include approximately 225 homes to be located on tracts 8162 and 8963, downhill from Felicidad.
14. At the Planning Commission Meeting on November 14, 1973, Larry Lizotte, VP of the Richard B. Smith Company, and subsequently Broadmoor, proposed and requested that the City deviate from its standard building code requirements. My husband, Donald, voiced his opposition to the deviations and concurred with the City Engineer that the city code should be adhered to with no deviations.
15 . During the period between late 1973 and 1975, various Broadmoor officials approached residents living on Felicidad to explain their plans to build homes below Felicidad.
16. The Broadmoor officials included: Richard B. Smith (founder), Larry Lizotte (Senior Vice President), Dennis Bickler (Director of Property Acquisition and Assistant Division Manager), S. Reid Gustafson (Vice President and Division Manager), RF. Osgood (Senior Vice President and Secretary), Don Corbin (architect at MoITis & Lohrbach Architects), and John Hazeltine. We emphasized to Broadmoor that our existing ocean and coastal views were extremely valuable and needed to be preserved if they wanted the support of the RM Asso~iates for the development of any new homes.
17. There were several meetings between the Broadmoor officials and the Felicidad homeowners, some of which took place in my home, at 203 Calle Felicidad. Through this series of meetings, many compromises and concessions were made by all parties concerned to the satisfaction of both Broadmoor and the Felicidad homeowners. One such meeting was held on -4-

November 27, 1973, by Larry Lizotte and RM Associates. (Seep. 6 of the San Clemente Planning Commission Minutes of November 28, 1973, attached as Exhibit 2.)
18. At the Planning Commission Meeting held on November 28, 1973, Mr. Keeler and I represented the Felicidad Homeowners. We were insistent that the height difference between Delicada and Felicidad would be a minimum of 20 ft. Broadmoor agreed to this and that only single level homes would be built on Delicada with a maximum roof height of 17 ft. so as to preserve the views from Felicidad. We asked that these conditions would be imposed on the Broadmoor development even though the Broadmoor developers had previously given us their word. (Exhibit 2 at p. 7.)
19. Consequently, the Planning Commission passed a motion to approve the Broadmoor plan with the added conditions to the approval and to the CC&Rs that:
1) the building pads on Delicada be a minimum of 20 ft. below the pads of the existing homes on Felicidad, and
2) all homes be single story no higher than 17 ft. and at no time can a second story or other structure be added which would exceed the 17 ft. height limit. (Exhibit 2 at p. 7.)
20. I was also present at the December 19, 1973, City Council Meeting. Lany Lizotte presented the revised plan for the development at the public hearing portion of the meeting. Bill Kerns addressed the Council apprising them that RM Associates had spoken with the Broadmoor officials and had requested the following before allowing Broadmoor to build:
1) That the first row of houses which are on Delicada be at least 20 ft. below the pads of the houses on Felicidad, and that their roof height is limited to 17 ft~ 2) That the CC&Rs include a statement that the houses on Delicada cannot add to the height of those buildings
3) That the size of the houses would be larger than 1720 sq. ft. (See pp. 1-2 of the San Clemente City Council Minutes ofDecember 19, 1973, attached hereto as Exhibit 3.)

21. I also addressed the council on behalf of the RM Associates. Given the abovementioned concessions, I spoke in support of the variances requested by Mr. Lizotte of Broadmoor. Mr. Lizotte confirmed for the public record that the three abovementioned requirements that would be imposed by the City as a condition of approval of the subdivision would also be included in the CC&Rs. The Council then unanimously approved the Broadmoor plans subject to the conditions requested by the RM Associates. As far as the RM Associates were concerned the inclusion of the height limitations would preserve the Felicidad views. (Exhibit 3 at pp. 1-2.)
22. Concerned for their view, the Felicidad neighbors were worried that the houses planned for Delicada may have been taller than the 17 foot restriction called for in the CC&Rs.
Consequently, I wrote a letter dated November 13, 1974, to Mr. Dick Ahlman, Director of Planning for the City, requesting that an onsite physical inspection be made of homes to confirm conformance with the CC&Rs. I emphasized in the letter that the 17 ft. height restriction was a major provision that we had worked hard to have included in the CC&Rs and that we wanted to make sure that this limitation was actually being observed. The letter was co-signed by many of our Felicidad neighbors. Mr. Ahlman responded confirming that an onsite inspection was conducted on the models homes and they were all found to be 17 ft. high or a little less.
23. Still concerned for our views, we requested that an additional model be measured which appeared to be taller than the others. I wrote a second letter to Mr. Ahlman, dated February 11, 197 5, to physically measure model 1 A I was present, along with two neighbors at the site inspection and measurement of the model in question. The measurements were 17 feet 1 inch or less. We considered this within the tolerance of compliance with conditions imposed by th~ City Council and the CC&Rs. Attached hereto as Exhibit 4 is a true and correct copy of the correspondence dated November 13, 1974, to Mr. Ahlman, Planning Director, City of San Clemente.
24. I was present at the January 7, 1976, City Council meeting where the tract map for Tract 8963, (the Delicada Tract) was approved. As I was specifically concerned about the views -6-

28 from Felicidad, I asked for assurances that certain provisions in the final tract map be included in the CC&Rs when recoded with the County so the City would not be faced with important elements omitted from the documents as had happened in other situations. As the Felicidad neighbors were relying on the conditions of approval of the tract map and the CC&Rs to protect their views in perpetuity. These conditions included the single story, 17 ft. height restriction on structures and 17 ft. height restriction on trees, bushes and shrubs. (Seep. 7 of the San Clemente City Council Minutes of January 7, 1976, attached hereto as Exhibit 5.)
25. At that meeting, Mr. Lizotte, representing Broadmoor Homes. Inc. stated that all the restrictions for the tract, planting and maintenance were reflected in their plans and would be included in the CC&Rs and recorded with the County. Furthermore, the City Attorney commented that he was setting up a procedure to ensure that the CC&Rs were reviewed to make sure all the various items were included therein before recording. Following discussion, the City Council unanimously approved the final tract map for tract 8963. (Exhibit 5 at p. 7.)
26. Subsequently, on January 16, 1976, BroadmoorHomes, Inc., submitted its
SUPPLEMENTARY DECLARATION OF COVENANTS, CONDITIONS AND
RESTRICTIONS for Tract 8963 ("SUPPLEMENTARY DECLARATION'), for the 19 Lots on Delicada. This document was recorded with the County of Orange, California, in early February, 1976. The folJowing section below is included (Exhibit 6 at p.2) :
Section 3. No building, structure, improvement or addition (excluding chimneys and roof vents) shalB be constructed, erected, altered, placed or permitted to n·emain on any portion of the Property which exceeds one story in height with a maximum height of 17 feet.

27. We were told by the City and Broadmoorthat the abovementioned SUPPLEMENT ARY DECLARATION, in addition to the condition of approval limiting the heights of all plants and building, would be sufficient to protect the views from Felicidad in -7-

lllECLARA TION OF ALAN JAY RICE
I, Alan Jay Rice, make the following statements based on my own personal knowledge of the facts and circumstances stated herein:
1. I am a long-time resident of the City of San Clemente. I have lived in my home, located at 301 Calle Felicidad, San Clemente, since 1968.
2. The Pacesetter Development Company was the developer that built my home as part of the residential development in the City known as Rancho Margarita. The completed Rancho Margarita homes were terraced at 20-foot intervals on a hillside overlooking the coastline.
3. In the early 1970s, there was no development on the land located below Calle Felicidad, where the Broadmoor community is now located. This land was previously an old landslide complex with coyotes, deer and other wildlife wandering over the open brush and hills.
4. Because there was no development downhill, the homes on Calle Felicidad had an unobstructed, clear view of the ocean and coastline, including scenic views of the Dana Point Harbor and Catalina Island.
5. Shortly after I purchased my home, Landmark Financial Group wanted to build two-story single-family residential homes on tracts located downhill from Calle Felicidad.
6. A group of neighbors on Calle Felicidad that were concerned with protecting the existing community from ill-planned developed formed a group known as the "Rancho Margarita Associates". The group's objective was to prevent any negative impacts of new development on their existing community.
7. The Rancho Margarita Associates group became well known to City officials and included approximately 65 members, including myself, Susan P. Rice, William Kerns, Fred • • Keeler, Frank and Maryanne Dreher, Richard and Karoline Koester, Bob and Jody Dilworth, Bob and Joan Kahrs, and Donald and Sally Sargent
8. Our group of neighbors organized to file petitions and comment letters with the Planning Commission and City Council in order to express our concerns about development of the downhill tract.
lllECLARA 'fION OF ALAN .IA Y RICE 78
60 1 9. Eventually, Landmark Financial Group lost its option to develop the property and 2 Broadmoor acquired the option. Broadmoor subsequently began plans to seek approvals for ,3 development of the Broadmoor community, \.Vhich would iI1clude 225 homes to be located on 4 tracts downhill from Calle Felicidad.
5 10. I personally attended many Planning Commission and City Council meetings 6 where City officials considered approvals for the Broadmoor community. 7 11. During the period between late 1973 and early 197 4, various. Broad.moor affic,ials 8 tactfully approached every resident living on Calle Felicidad to explain their plans to build 9 homes below Calle Felicidad.
10 12. The Broadmoor representatives included: Richard B. Smith (founder), Larry 11 Lizotte (Senior Vice President), Dennis Bickler (Director of Property Acquisition and Assistant 12 Division Manager), S. Reid Gustafson (Vice President and Division Manager), RF. Osgood 13 (Senior Vice President and Secretaiy), Don Corbin (architect at Morris & Lobrbach Architects), 14 and John Hazeltine.
15 13. Broadmoor knew that it needed our support in order to get the City's approval for 16 the Calle Delicada homes. There were several meetings between the Broadmoor officials and 17 the Calle Felicidad homeowners, many of which took place in our homes. Through this series of 18 meetings, many compromises were made to the satisfaction ofBroadmoor and the Calle 19 Felicidad residents.
20 14. We emphasized to Broadmoor that our existing ocean and coastal views were 21 extremely valuable and needed to be preserved if any new homes were to be built. 22 15. One of the issues Broadmoor encountered was the narrow sizes of the proposed 23 Calle Delicada lots. The dimensions of Broadmoor's original plans did not comply with the· 24 City's Code requirements.
25 16. Broadmoor sought a solution to the insufficient lot sizes on Calle Delicada by 26 asking individual homeowners on Calle Felicidad to give up a portion of the hillside slopes on 27 their properties, so that depth could be added to the Calle Delicada lots. This was to be 28 accomplished by re-grading the slopes belonging to the Calle Felicidad Homeowners. -2-

6 17. Broadmoor also sought to gain additional area for the lots by asking the Calle Felicidad homeowners to agree that a sidewalk that was supposed to be developed on Calle Delicada could be eliminated.
18. City staff did not support deleting the required sidewalk between Calle Felicidad and Calle Delicada.
19. Many of the Calle Felicidad homeowners submitted a petition to the City Council 7 Lh.l\t allowed this sidewall, to. be eJ1rn.inate.d. so Brmtdmo.or could g~.i 11. .. the land re.g.uire£l to develop 8 the 19 additional lots on Calle Delicada. The City agreed to allow the deletion in response to the 9 Calle Felicidad homeowners' request.
10 20. In return, Broadmoor went out of their way to assure Calle Felicidad homeowners 11 that our panoramic views would be preserved and protected despite the construction of the new 12 downhill homes. We were repeatedly assured by Broadmoor that our views would not be 13 obstructed or compromised in any way by the development of the Calle Delicada properties. 14 21 . During the meetings with Broadmoor, the Calle Felicidad residents agreed to the 15 following concessions in favor ofBroadmoor:
16 1. Broadmoor could completely remove our rear slopes by shearing away all of the 17 dirt embankment, thereby creating a 30 foot shear drop from our backyards. This 18 was deemed to be a crucial element necessary to re-compact, solidify, and 19 reconfigure the angle of our backyard slopes. Broadmoor had to do this in order 20 to stabilize potential slippage zones they supposedly detected on our properties 21 prior to cut and fill operations for the homes on Calle Delicada. 22 23
24 11. We agreed to sign waivers for the City to eliminate the construction of a sidewalk at the foot of our slopes on Calle Delicada, which allowed Broadmoor to gain:
land it needed for the new lots to be approved.
25 22. In exchange for the concessions granted by the Calle Felicidad homeowners, there 26 were two primary concessions granted and guaranteed by the Broadmoor officials:
27 1. There would never be any two-story homes built in the Broadmoor community that 28 would interfere with the views of any Calle Felicidad resident.

28 11. There would never be any tree, bush, or other landscaping, or any structure which would block or inhibit the existing views of the Calle Felicidad residents. Any potential impediment would be limited to a maximum height of 17 feet on Calle Delicada - with no exceptions.
23. Broadmoor entered into agreements with myself and other homeowners who provided authorization for Broadmoor to regrade our individual slope areas. This would allow Broadmoor to have additional area for the proposed lo.ts an Calle Delica1.fa bec.ause the work involved reconfiguring our existing slope into a steeper angle with a more abbreviated top.
24. I entered into the attached agreement to authorize grading with Broadmoor on February 16, 1974.
25. The process to regrade our slopes was a significant unde11aking that involved heavy earthmoving equipment and extensive construction work in our back yards. I took pictures to show the extent of the grading work, attached hereto.
26. In exchange for our cooperation, Broadmoor agreed that the height restrictions that were meant to protect our views would be included in a recorded declaration of covenants, conditions and restrictions (CC&Rs) that would be recorded against each of the 19 homes on Calle Delicada.
27. The City knew about, and was involved in, negotiations between Broadmoor and the Calle Felicidad homeowners, that resulted in Broadmoor' s agreement to include a height limitation on the Calle Delicada homes. The City also imposed the height limitation as a condition of approval in connection with its approval of the Calle Delicada homes.
28. The restriction was intentionally included in the CC&Rs by Broadmoor as an additional assurance to Calle Felicidad residents that all trees would be maintained not to exceed 17 feet and any violations would be enforced by the Association created by Broadmoor.
I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the State of California that the foregoing is true and correct.

11. There would never be any tree, bush, or other landscaping, or any structure which would block or inhibit the existing views of the Calle Felicidad residents. Any 7 potential impediment would be limited to a maximum height of 17 feet on Calle 8 Delicada - with no exceptions.
9 23. Broadmoor entered into agreements with myself and other homeowners who 10 provided authorization for Broadmoor to regrade our individual slope areas. This would allow 11 Broadmoor to have additional area for the proposed lots on Calle Delicada because the work 12 involved reconfiguring our existing slope into a steeper angle with a more abbreviated top. 13 24.

In exchange for our cooperation, Broadmoor agreed that the height restrictions 19 that were meant to protect our views would be included in a recorded declaration of covenants, 20 conditions and restrictions (CC&Rs) that would be recorded against each of the 19 homes on 21 Calle Delicada.

The City also imposed the height limitation as a 25 condition of approval in connection with its approval of the Calle Delicada homes. 26 28. The restriction was intentionally included in the CC&Rs by Broadmoor as an 27 additional assurance to Calle Felicidad residents that all trees would be maintained not to exceed 28 17 feet and any violations would be enforced by the Association created by Broadmoor. lD>ECILARA TIION OF SUSAN P. filCE 90

Re: Broadmoor San Clemente Community Association and Calle Delicada - Tract No. 8963
Hi Scott:
It was a pleasure meeting you on Friday to discuss the potential dispute between the Broadmoor San Clemente Community Association ("Broadmoor Association") and certain owners of homes locate.d on Calle Delicada ("Delicada Homeowners"), on the one hand, and individual homeowners of property located on Calle Felicidad (''Felicidad Homeowners"), on the other hand. This Jetter summarizes the facts we discussed earlier that ]ed to the current dispute.
For your ease of reference, the package of documents we provided you on F1iday is also attached to this letter.
By way of background, Calle Felicidad and Ca1le Delicada are adjacent streets located within the City of San Clemente ("City"). (See, Attachment 1.) The lots on Calle Felicidad were constructed first, as part of the City's approval of Tract No. 8162. After the homes on Calle Felicidad were completed, Broadmoor Homes, Inc. ("Developer") began developing the Broadmoor community, located on tracts downhill from Calle Felicidad. Calle Felicidad is not included within the Broadrnoor development and is not governed by the Broadmoor Association.
As Broadmoor's development proceeded uphill towards Calle Felicidad, the Developer proposed to construct 19 homes on Calle Delicada, as pa.it of the final phase of the Broadmoor development project. However, the Developer could not construct the homes because the lots were not large enough to accommodate the 19 homes. The City would not approve this final part of the Broadmoor development, unless the Developer could find a way to add more area to each of the pads.
The Developer came up with a solution to add more depth to each of the lots - but it would require concessions from the Felicidad Homeowners. As part of the Broadmoor development, there was supposed to be a sidewaUc. uphill from Calle Deli-eada, along Calle Felicidad. By removing this sidewalk and taking ai·ea from the Felicidad Homeowners' slopes, the Developer could gain the land required to develop the 19 homes; otherwise, the City would not grant approval and the homes could not be constructed. Thus, the Developer asked the Irvine Office

Felicidad Homeowners to give up a p01tion of their slope area and to agree that the sidewalk was not needed. The Felicidad Homeowners were assured by the Developer and the City that their views would not be obstrncted by the new lots on Ca11e Delicada. The Developer also agreed to enter letter agreements with tbe Felicidad Homeowners for authorization to perform grading on their slopes. The Felicidad Homeowners agreed to Developer's request, understanding that their existing ocean views would be protected by covenants, conditions and restrictions ("CC&Rs") imposed on the new lots, which the City would require to approve the new homes. Specifically. the CC&Rs included a provision limiting the height of the 19 homes to one story, with a maximum height of 17 feet (including landscaping). This height restriction was acknowledged by each of the 19 lot owners, and is enforceable by the Broadmoor Association and the City.
A timeline of the significant events involving approval of the Calle Delicada lots by the City is summarized below:
August 19, 1974 - Developer Records Master Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions.
Before seeking approval of the Calle Delicada homes, the Developer recorded a Master Declaration of CC&Rs over certain property within the Broadmoor development community. (See, Attachment 9.) Article XII of the declaration, titled "Powers of City of San Clemente," gives the City the right to exercise any rights and powers granted to the Broadmoor Association under the declaration. As explained below, this master declaration was supplemented to include the 19 lots developed on Calle Delicada.
March 19, 1975 - City Grants Request to Amend Conditions of Approval for Tract No. 8162.
The City would not allow the Calle Delicada lots to be developed unless the pad sizes were larger. In order to add land to the Calle Delicada lots for City approval. the Developer first needed slope concessions from the Felicidad Homeowners. The Felicidad Homeowners agreed that the sidewalk could be elimjnated and their slopes could be regraded, but asked the Developer for reassurance that the 19 homes would not exceed onestory and 17 feet high. After the Developer agreed and entered letter agreements with the Felicidad Homeowners to perform the grading work. 25 Felicidad Homeowners submitted a petition to the City Council requesting deletion of the condition requiring a sidewalk to be installed on Calle Delicada below the Calle Felicidad prope1ties. The City Council granted this request. (See, Attachment 2.)
April 2. 1975 - City Clarifies that Sidewalk Deletion Only Applies to Calle Delicada Following the City Council meeting on March 19, 1975, the Developer requested clarification about the sidewalk deletion. The Developer was under the impression that the sidewalks could be deleted on all streets in the Broadmoor development However, the City clarified that the deletion was only for the sidewalks on the uphill side of Calle Delicada, along Calle Felicidad. (See, Attachment 3.) This deletion on only one street in 93 75
Mr. Scott C. Smith

the Broadmoor development was the result of the Felicidad Homeowners' slope concession because removing the sidewalk. and re-grading the slope gave the Developer the land it needed to develop the Calle Delicada homes.
November 13, 1975 - Developer Confirms Broaclmoor Association will Maintain 8-Foot Park.way.
Following the City's deletion of the condition requiring a sidewalk uphill from Calle Delicada, the Developer wrote a letter to the City confirming that landscaping along the 8-foot parkway on the slope side of Calle Delicada would be maintained by the Broadmoor Association. (See, Attachment 4.)
January 7, 1976 - City Approves Final Ma:g for Tract No. 8963.
When the City Council considered approving the final map for the Calle Delicada lots, the Developer represented that all restrictions for the tract were reflected in their plans and would be included in the CC&Rs. These required restrictions included the height ]unit provision that protected the Felicidad Homeowners' views. The City Attorney assured City Council that he was setting up a procedure to ensure that the map's conditions would be included in the CC&Rs before they were recorded. (See, Attachment 5.) The 19 lots on Calle Delicada were approved as part of Tract No. 8963. (See, Attachment 6.)
January 16. 1976-Developer Executes Supplemental CC&Rs for Calle Delicada.
As discussed above, the Developer previously made certain properties within the Broadrnoor community subject to a Master Declaration of Conditions, Covenants and Restrictions, recorded August 19, 1974. (See, Attachment 9.) In order to ensure the 19 lots on Calle Delicacla would also be subject to the CC&Rs, the Developer executed a Supplementary Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions, dated January 16, 1976 ("Supplemental CC&Rs"). (See, Attachment 8.) As part of the Calle Delicada approval, the City required the map for Tract No. 8963 and the Supplemental CC&Rs to be recorded on the same day.
The height restriction required by the City to approve the Calle Delicada lots and agreed to by the Developer to protect the Felicidad Homeowners' views is below:
"Section 3. No bujlding, st111cture, improvement or addition (excluding chimneys and roof vents) shall be constructed, erected. altered. placed or permitted to remain on any po1tion of the Property which exceeds one story in height with a maximum height of 17 feet. No tree, bush or slzmb slwll be placed or maintailled upoll (i) any Lot desclibed in Exhibit "A", attaclied hereto aud inc01porated herein by reference, wliiclt exceeds 17 94 76
Mr. Scott C. Smith
July 16. 20 I 8
Page4
feet in lieiglit or (ii) upon any other Lot in the Prope1ty which exceeds 20 feet in height."
The owners of the 19 lots acknowledged this limitation. as evidenced by their individual signatures attached to the Supplemental CC&Rs.
February 4. 1976- City Grants Easement for Parkway to Developer.
The City granted an easement to the Developer so it could maintain the 8-foot parkway on Calle Delicada, as previously agreed to by the Developer. (See, Attachment 7.) We understand that certain trees located downhill from Calle Felicidad, on Calle Delicada, have grown higher than 17 feet (in violation of the CC&Rs) and are interfering with the Felicidad Homeowners' views. Since Calle Felicidad is not governed by the CC&Rs, the Broadmoor Association is responsible for curing the violation. yet refuses to do so. The City has exp1icit authority under the CC&Rs to enforce the restriction. Additionally, the City has an enforcement right because it require.d the CC&Rs and the height restriction as part of the Calle Delicada approval.
As the approving body for the Calle Delicada homes and the CC&Rs. we hope the City will take action to remedy the situation so that litigation may be avoided. We appreciate your consideration of this matter and look forward to hearing from you.
Please contact me if you have any questions or would like to discuss.

Re: Broadmoor San Clemente Community Association and Calle Delicada - Tract No. 8963
Dear Mr. Tidus and Ms. Mahrou:
Thank you for the time and background you have provided me and City of San Clemente staff on the issue regarding tree maintenance on Calle Delicada in San Clemente. The facts and background surrounding these issues are as complicated as they are dated, and we appreciate your help in sorting through them and their history.
For the reasons summarized below, we have concluded that the private property owners adjacent to Calle Delicada are responsible for the maintenance and height of the trees on that street.
The City Engineer's staff has reached the conclusion that the street property in question is an easement for public right-of-way, as accepted by the City when first dedicated. The dedication by the developer was an "offer for dedication to the public for street purposes:
Avenida Presidio, Calle Delicada, and Calle Miguel." The City Clerk's statement for acceptance stated that the City "did accept on behalf of the public the offer of dedication for street purposes:
A venida Presidio, Calle Delicada, and Calle Miguel." This acceptance of this offer as written for this tract resulted in the street being held as an easement for right-of-way, and not ownership in fee.
San Clemente Municipal Code Section 12.24.020 provides as follows:

"The owner of any property fronting on or adjacent to any portion of a street, sidewalk, bikeway, trail or parkway shall perform landscape maintenance on any and all trees, shrubs, hedges and/or ground cover (excluding street trees) on his or her property including any portion of such a tree, shrub, hedge or ground cover which encroaches into the street, sidewalk, bikeway, trail or parkway."
The City interprets this section as requiring owners of property underlying right-of-way easements to properly maintain trees adjacent to City streets. The City will grant to adjacent owners the ability to utilize street right-of-way in order to maintain and trim trees through encroachment and other pennits. Although this usually occurs in the context of hazardous trees, the City has indicated it is willing to provide a similar right of entry to your client in order to assert its rights under the relevant subdivision map to trim adjacent trees to conform to the map conditions. City Engineer Tom Bonigut will be able to assist your client in that regard to tailor a permit to this unique circumstance.
As we have discussed, the City does sometimes retain an interest in CC&Rs and the ability to enforce them; however, as important as this issue is to your clients, the City lacks the resources to use this enforcement authority for any but the most egregious cases posing an extreme and immediate threat to the public health or safety. In this case, consistent with its Citywide approach to trees, facilitating the entry into its right-of-way or providing declarations or documents in a civil matter to correct this problem will be the most the City can do.

Re: Broadmoor San Clemente Community Association and Calle Delicada - Tract No. 8963
Dear Mayor Ward and City Council Members:
This firm represents Paul Buck, the owner of a home on Calle Felicidad in the City of San Clemente ("City"). This Tort Claim Letter is sent on behalf of Mr. Buck and his neighbors listed on Exhibit 1. All of these Claimants are citizens of the City who are adversely, and continuously, impacted by Jhe City's failure to enforce a valid height restriction imposed by the City as a Condition of Approval in 1976 on their neighbors' properties as identified below.
As the City Council may be aware :from our correspondence and meeting with the City Attorney, Scott Smith, and staff in July and October 2018, Claimants are involved in a dispute concerning the failure of their neighbors located on Calle Delicada, to comply with a height restriction that was imposed by the City as a Condition of Approval for the development of the 19 houses on Calle Delicada in 1976. We appreciate the City's prior acknowledgement of this situation, and its statement of willingness to provide a right of entry to the common area of the Broadmoor San Clemente Community Association ("Broadmoor HOA") along Calle Delicada for tree trimming purposes. However, this does nothing to enforce the Condition of Approval with respect to tree-height limits that the City specifically imposed on the Calle Delicada homeowners' properties.
On July 16, 2018, we sent a letter to your staff outlining the issues as we understood them at that time. That July 16th letter is attached hereto as Exhibit 2, and a copy of your Staff's response dated November 5, 2018, is attached as Exhibit 3. Since that time, we have learned that the documents that the City originally provided to us were substantially incomplete. After requesting and obtaining additional documents, we have confirmed that the City actually agreed to enforce the height restriction for the benefit of the Calle Felicidad homeowners. As a result, it is not enough that the City merely confirm that the height restriction exists; it is required to Irvine Office

enforce that restriction. Furthermore, we believe that the City has not been forthcoming with all its documents, including correspondence between the City and Broadmoor Homes, Inc. ("Broadmoor"), and the Broadmoor HOA that would be relevant to this situation. We have received some City originated documents which were not provided by the City when Claimants originally requested them.
This Claim seeks to have the City enforce the agreed upon 17-foot height restriction it imposed as a Condition of Approval and had recorded in the CC&Rs of the 19 properties located on Calle Delicada. This Condition of Approval was based on consideration and concessions negotiated by and between the Calle Felicidad neighbors, Broadmoor Homes, Inc., and the City, so as to permit the development of the 19 houses on Calle Delicada. That Condition of Approval, inter alia, required that a Supplementary Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions be recorded and acknowledged by Broadmoor Homes and the owners of the 19 properties on Calle Delicada. That Covenant was dated January 16, 1976, and recorded in early February, 1976, against those 19 properties.
Brief Background
Calle Felicidad ("Felicidad") and Calle Delicada ("Delicada") are adjacent streets located within the City, with Delicada being downhill from Felicidad. The homes on Delicada were developed by Broadmoor, about ten years after the homes on Felicidad as part of a 225-unit development known as the Broadmoor Community. The Broadmoor Community is located on Tracts Nos. 8162 and 8963, and is governed by a homeowners' association and a set of covenants, conditions and restrictions ("CC&Rs"). Tract 8963 has a Supplementary Declaration of CC&Rs specific to the 19 homes on Delicada.
As development of the Broadmoor Community proceeded uphill towards FeHcidad, Broadmoor proposed 19 homes be built on Delicada, Tract No. 8963, the last and highest undeveloped street in the Broadmoor Community. Broad.moor discovered, however, that it could not build the proposed 19 additional homes because under the City Code it had insufficient land to build the required street and sidewalks. The City would not approve the final phase of the Broadmoor development unless Broadrnoor developed a solution to add more depth to the lots.
Broadrnoor thereafter worked with homeowners on Felicidad and obtained certain consideration and concessions, including the removal of the east sidewalk along Delicada, and a re-grading into the hillside of homes on Felicidad. Essentially, the re-grading, which was a major undertaking, steepened the backyard slopes of the Felicidad homeowners in order to obtain a· larger, flatter building pad for the then proposed Delicada homes. Consequently, Broadmoor obtained City approval for construction of the Delicada homes. These Felicidad homeowners included, among others, Allan and Susan Rice, and Donald and Sally Sargent. The Sargents were the prior owners of Mr. Buck's home on 203 Calle Felicidad. One of the Broad.moor representatives was Larry Lizotte, then a Senior Vice President for Broadmoor.
Before and during Broadmoor's development activities, the Felicidad and other affected neighbors, numbering about 250 individuals, formed an action committee, The Rancho Margarita 99 81

Associates, to petition and negotiate with the City and Broadmoor. For the Felicidad homeowners, protecting their existing ocean and coastal views was paramount in their negotiations with Broadmoor. Eventually, the Felicidad homeowners and the Rancho Margarita Associates, and Broadmoor and the City developed a solution. This ultimately led to the City's approval of the development of the 19 DeJicada prope1ties. Both the City and Broad.moor provided assurances that a 17-foot height limit would be imposed on the Delicada properties for the benefit of the uphill homeowners on Felicidad. Consequently, these height protections became part of the City's enforceable Conditions of Approval and were also memorialized as part of the CC&Rs as required by the City.
These assurances and understanding were confirmed during the January 7, 1976, Council meeting of the City of San Clemente, attended by Ms. Sargent (Felicidad neighbor on behalf of the Rancho Margarita Associates), and Mr. Lizotte (Vice President of Broadmoor Homes):

As a result of the consideration and concessions of Felicidad homeowners and Broadmoor' s concurrence therewith, the City required a height restriction to be recorded that limits trees and other structures to a maximum height of 17 feet. Broadmoor acknowledged this condition of the City, and represented that all the restrictions for the tract, planting and maintenance were reflected in their plans and would be included in the CC&Rs that were recorded with the County. As required by the City, Broadmoor thereafter included the height restriction in the Supplemental CC&Rs submitted on January 16, 1976, and recorded with the County on February 1, 1976, as covenants against the 19 lots on Delicada. The Broadmoor recorded CC&Rs incorporate the height restrictions as follows:
100
82 City Cierk
City of San Clemente
May 17, 2021
Page4
"Section 3. No building, structure, improvement or addition (excluding chimneys and roof vents) shall be constructed, erected, altered, placed or permitted to remain on any portion of the Propei-ty which exceeds one story in height with a maximum height of 17 feet. No tree, b11sli or sltru.b shall be placed or maintained upon (i) any Lot described in Exlubit "A" [Lots 1-19 of Tract No. 8963}, attaclied hereto and incorporated herein by referenc~ which exceeds 17 feet in height or (ii) upon any other Lot in the Property which exceeds 20 feet in height." Thus, the City has a right under the CC&Rs to not only enforce the height restrictio~ but obtain its attorney fees and costs for doing so.
Since our last communications with the City, we obtained declarations from Mrs.
Sargent, and from Mr. and Mrs. Rice detailing the events involving the approval of the Delicada lots, and more specifically Tract No. 8963, between the years 1973 and 1976. Attached as Exhibit 4 is a copy of the declaration signed by Mrs. Sargent. Similarly, attached as Exhibits 5 and 6 are the declarations from Mr. and Mrs. Rice explaining that Broadmoor assured the Felicidad Homeowners and the City that views would not be obstructed by the proposed new homes on Delicada (See 'l['l[ 14, 20-22, 26-27).
There is no dispute that there exists a height restriction on the Delicada properties.
Nevertheless, the Association and certain homeowners on Delicada have allowed trees on their property to far exceed the 17-foot height limitation, thereby violating the City's Conditions of Approval and their recorded CC&Rs. These actions continue to obstruct the protected views for Felicidad homeowners, interfering with their ability to enjoy their properties. This situation is worsening with the continued growth of the non-compliant trees.
Attached as Exhibits 7 and 8 are the before and after pictures of the view from a couple of the homes on Felicidad, and demonstrates the impediment that the Delicada homeowners are imposing on their uphill neighbors.
The Felicidad homeowners negotiated consideration and concessions which allowed their properties to be altered to enable the development of the Delicada homes. The consideration and concessions were specifically in return for height restrictions so as to preserve their ocean and coastal views. As the Felicidad homes are not part of the Broad.moor HOA, the Broadmoor HOA has therefore determined that they would not enforce the CC&R height restrictions on Delicada which would be for the benefit of the Felicidad homeowners.
Where Does this Stand Now?
Because the City initially said it did not have the money to assist the Felicidad homeowners, Mr. Buck commenced litigation on July 29, 2019. Since filing the lawsuit, several important things have happened.
First, shortly after the filing of a first amended complaint ("F AC"), the defendant homeowner filed a demurrer arguing that Mr. Buck lacked standing to enforce the Broadmoor HOA's CC&Rs. The Court overruled the demurrer on three of the four causes of action finding, 101

among other things, that an equitable servitude does not require that the property to be benefitted be identified in the deed to be enforced and does not require a written agreement between Plaintiff and Defendants. The Court further found that the F AC adequately alleges that the Broad.moor HOA CC&Rs contained a height restriction specifically for the benefit of the uphill Felicidad Homeowners.
Second, the Parties have commenced initial discovery. In response to written discovery requests, Defendants admitted: their property is subject to the CC&Rs; that they were provided a copy of the CC&Rs when they purchased the home, and that "there are trees on the property exceeding 1 7 feet in height .. "
Third, we obtained documents and learned additional information which confirms the City's involvement and enforcement rights. These documents include, by way of example, declarations from long-time homeowners on Felicidad who were involved with the City when it approved the development on Delicada. See, Declarations of Mrs. Sally Sargent, and Mr. and Mrs. Rice. These declarations detail the events su1Tounding the City's approval of Tract No. 8963 between the years 1973 and 1976. We have also been in contact with Mr. Lizotte who, as noted above, was a Senior Vice President with Broadmoor Homes and was involved in obtaining the City's approval for the Deli cad a homes. Mr. Lizotte has reviewed these declarations, and has confirmed that they are accurate, and that the height restrictions imposed by the City which are included in the recorded declaration of covenants, conditions and restrictions were meant to protect the views of the uphill Felicidad homeowners. He said he would be happy to discuss this with the City, if called upon to do so.
Fourth, the City has provided us with Building Permit documentation for 203 Calle Delicada, the house with the offending trees screening out Mr. Buck's ocean and coastal views.
Among these documents is the Broadmoor HOA letter, dated September 11, 2007, to the then owners of the house, Roger & Lonnell Nestie, approving the Nestie's proposed modifications.
This letter from the HOA, Exhibit 9, specifically states that if trees reach 20 feet (should actually be 17 feet per the CC&Rs) or more in height, the homeowners are required to trim or remove these trees at their own expense. Also stated is that this requirement applies to the current and any future homeowners. Given this, the HOA is clearly aware of the tree height requirement, however, they still neglect their duty to enforce their CC&Rs. The City used this Broad.moor HOA approval letter in their process to grant a building permit.
Finally, the Broadmoor HOA recently trimmed all of its common area trees to approximately 17 feet or less. There is no dispute that there exists a 17-foot height restrictio~ • and the recent actions of the Broad.moor HOA confirm this fact. Nonetheless, the Broadmoor Association refuses to enforce the restriction on homeowners on Delicada, who refuse to comply with the 17-foot height restriction. As previously stated, the Broadmoor HOA's position is that because Felicidad is not a part of the Broadmoor HOA, it has no obligation to Felicidad homeowners. It appears that the Broadmoor HOA has purposefully discounted the events that led to the approval of the 19 Delicada houses 45 years ago. 102
