[RPD Board of Directors Doug Nickles, Chair 403 West Hillcrest Drive Thousand Oaks, CA 91360'4223 RE: Rancho Conejo and Dos Viertos Special Assessments Dear Board: I am writing on behalf of 86 Rancho Conejo homeowners and the community of Dos Vientos regarding the special assessments each year onour property tax bills. | have learned w«eare the only 2 communities in the district who are charged these exorbitant assessments due to proximities of parks in our neighborhoods. |nreviewing past engineering reports, it states our communities receive "special benefits" which were then listed. The benefits that followed., were not community specific, but benefits to the District as a whole. Our communities do not have special privileges or use of these parks, but we are being taxed as Kvvedo. Rancho Conejo has no separate entrance from our community into the park, vvemust park in the same lot aseveryone, which ishard tofind. VVehave nospecial right 10use tennis orpick|ebaU courts over anyone coming from outside our community. These parks are used more bvoutside the district athletic teams, and any other resident in the district than our communities combined, yet we are burdened with covering the maintenance ofthem, when itshould be shared among everyone inthe district. Not only do we pay more for these parks, but we also pay an additional assessment for the remainder ofthe perks in the District. We are asking the board toplease pool the costs ofour assessments inwith the District Wide park assessments. There would be a minimal increase Lothe remaining district homeowners of$15.0Othe first year, then increases asnormal (2-596)thereafter. Weare not asking for areduction inservices, vve are asking for fair and equal sharing ofservices among all who use them. We are being unfairly penalized for living in proximity to a park. If this is how things work, then every homeowner would be assessed more for any park they live next to. This isnot happening District Wide. )amenclosing alist ofl18names who have asked to beincluded. The Dos Vientos Board has said they would prepare aletter onbehalf of their 2200homeowners. Please dothe right, fair thing, and give equality kzall inyour district. Thank you, Barbara Collins lUousandOaks, CA 91320 -__
