Re: Requesting Written Consent of the City of San Luis Obispo for San Luis
Obispo Clearview Estates Homeowners Association, Inc. Proposed First
Amendment to CC&Rs
Dear Ms. Dietrick:
We are legal counsel for San Luis Obispo Clearview Estates Homeowners Association,
Inc., a homeowner association overseeing a common interest development in the City of San Luis
Obispo (the “Association”). The Association’s current Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and
Restrictions were recorded on June 14, 1989 (referred to herein as the “CC&Rs”) and in many
areas do not make clear which party the maintenance and repair responsibility of the gates,
concrete retaining walls, and landscaping maintenance of the lots. With our firm as legal counsel,
the Association has undertaken a project to prepare proposed amendment to the CC&Rs that will
make this clear (referred to below as the “Proposed CC&Rs”).
Pursuant to Article XVII, Section 17.05 of the current CC&Rs, City approval is required for
any amendments, which Section reads in relevant part as follows:
“This Declaration shall not be amended with respect to the provisions of this
Article XVII, nor with respect to Section 6.01 relating to maintenance by the
Association, Section 6.02 relating to landscape maintenance, …without
consent of the City Council.”
The Proposed CC&Rs have been updated to clarify the maintenance and repair
obligations of the parties as mentioned above.
I am enclosing the Association’s Proposed CC&Rs, approval by the membership, as well
as the existing 1989 CC&Rs for your ease of reference. On behalf of the Association, I respectfully
request that the City indicate its written consent to the Proposed CC&Rs by signing and dating
the signature envelope for your convenience. In addition to the original signature page being
returned to my office, we would request that upon signing, a scanned copy be sent to
jkhalili@berdingweil.com .
