0 Manch Dos Vientos Community Association April 12, 2021 Sent via Email crpdclerk@ci-pd.org .......... . . Doug Nickles, Chair CRPD Board of Directors 403 West Hillcrest Drive Thousand Oaks, CA 91360-4223 RE: Rancho Conejo Village and. Dos Vientos Ranch Special Assessments Dear Board of Directors: We are writing on behalf of the community of Dos Vientos Ranch regarding the special park assessments included annually on our member's property tax bills. We have learned that only Rancho Conejo Village and our community are the only two coinmunities in the District who are charged exclusively for the parks in our neighborhoods. Apparently, the District directed all of the assessments for the parks located in Rancho Conejo, Village and Dos Vientos Ranch to our communities because they believed we would receive "special benefits." The benefits that followed, were not conn-nunity specific, but benefits to the District as a whole, Our conu-nunities do not have special privileges or use of these parks and facilities, but we are being taxed as if we do. Dos Vientos residents have no special right to use park facilities such as the tennis or volleyball courts over anyone coming from outside our neighborhood. All of the parks within Dos Vientos are used more by outside the District athletic teams than by residents. Yet our membership and that of Rancho Conejo Village is paying exclusively to maintain these parks when it should be shared among everyone in the District. Not only do we pay more for these parks, but we also pay an additional assessment for the remainder of the parks outside of our community but within the District. We are asking the board to please aggregate the costs of our assessments with the District wide park - assessments. There would be a minimal increase to the remaining District homeowners of $15.00 the first year, then normal 2-5% increases thereafter. We are being unfairly penalized for living in proximity to parks. If this is how things work, then every homeowner, would be assessed more for any park they five next to. This is not happening District wide, The Dos Vientos Ranch Community Association Board, on behalf of its membership, respectfully requests that you aggregate the cost of Rancho Conejo and Dos Vientos park assessments with the District wide park assessments. Our Annual meeting and Board Election conflicts with your meeting tomorrow night so we cannot be there to read our letter. We appreciate your consideration of our request. Sincerely, ft Ce -0 Louis Goldsman President Dos Vientos Ranch Community Association The Emmons Company One Boardwalk, Suite 102 Thousand Oaks, CA 91360 805/413-1170 * 805/413-1190 FAX
