Good afternoon Mr. Sadorra,
As we discussed on the phone, I will not be opening a Property Maintenance case for your
residence, but the Building Code case remains open until the permits are issued and the work
receives a Final Inspection approval.

Good morning Mr. Sadorra,
So as I mentioned about the record request being a city policy, that was incorrect. It has to do
with California Public Records Act and I am positive your lawyer will be familiar with it. I would
like to explain to you verbally some of the statements covered on your last email and you can
reach me on the field if you call my wok cell 760-250-0000.

Mr. Vallanueva,
ra
Appreciate your call yesterday. I understand you spoke to the neighbor across the street whose on the HOA board. I
want to say im enlightened by your comments regarding the city of LQ municiple code really outweighing the HOAs
attempt to place a cease and desist and keeping me from any work or maintenance on my property. I am encouraged to
move forward and begin cleaning and maintaining the empty lot that is my property. I am a bit concerned though that
my patio cover permit was completed, but now has been flagged as incomplete and I will now have to file for another
permit. I am also concerned that an existing flag pole and base that has been in front of my property for years will now
require a permit. You explained that there is an existing City policy that an existing outstanding permit must be closed
before you can release the request for information that I recently asked of the LQ City Clerks office. I request that you
please provide that policy number so I may review it. I await your response, thank you - Dennis Sadorra

Hello Mr. Villanueva,
I understand from a family member that you visited my home today and left your card. I would like to inform you that
for the past 4 years I have been harassed by my HOA who agreed to a landscaping plan for me to install, but then 3
weeks into the project the HOA placed a Cease and Desist on the project through their attorney, stopping any and all
work on the property. Last month in mediation my attorney asked the HOA to lift the Cease and Desist so I could at
least move forward with maintenance and clean up of the property, but they refused. Since the HOA is being stubborn
in providing a release from the Cease and Desist order, I am requesting a letter from the City of LaQuinta to allow me to
conduct the maintenance work on my property in order to bypass the HOAs Cease and Desist order. I feel the HOA is
playing a game in suing me in court while placing a hold on any work on my property while both the neighbors and
myself have to suffer watching this eyesore of a property become more and more dilapidated over time. Any help you
would provide would be greatly appreciated. Please feel free to contact me at the number below. Thank you -

Re: Starlight Dunes Homeowners Association \ Sadorra Architectural Plans
Subject Property: 43810 Skyward Way, La Quinta, CA 92253
Our File No. 5038
Dear Mr. Zimberoff:
We are in receipt of a copy of the letter sent by your client to the community manager, Mr.
Cavoretto.
Your client indicated that he has not planted hedges, but rather, Indian Laurel trees. The
architectural plans that were partially approved by the Association do not identify Indian Laurel
trees anywhere. Further, he has planted more trees than called for on the plan.
In addition, it appears that your client is installing a walkway along the southern side yard of the
Subject Property. This is not labeled or identified on the plans and has not been approved.
In addition, the fruit trees that your client has planted on the south side of the yard are located far
too close to the curb. Depending on the variety of the tree, the roots could damage the curb and
street.
Your client has substantially deviated from the approved plans, which is a violation of the
Governing Documents. Demand is made that your client immediately cease and desist all work/
installation of improvements at the Subject Property and submit a revised plan to the Board of
Directors identifying (1) the Indian Laurel trees; (2) the walkway; (3) the specific types of fruit
trees that have been planted; and (4) proposed improvements for the side yard area (to replace the
concrete driveway and gates that were denied). The revised plan must be submitted to the
Association within ten days of the date of this letter.

In his letter, your client states that it will "take time" to implement the three phases of the yard
improvements and implies that it will take the full year permitted under the CC&Rs to complete a
project that should take 60 days. He cannot store the trailer and concrete mixer in the yard for a
year while he completes the project. Demand is made that the trailer and cement mixer be removed
from the yard immediately.
We are not aware of what your client plans to include in each of the three phases of the project or
on what timetable. We request that this information be immediately provided.
Your client clearly wishes to relitigate the issue of his prior violation and fine. Your client was
provided a hearing notice and notice of ruling with the information he is requesting. He also
attended the hearing and discussed the violation with the Board (excluding Director Brown). We
are not going to engage in a rehash of this issue because your client does not like the outcome.
Also, we are not going to engage in a discussion regarding variances. It is frankly irrelevant.
If your client fails to adhere to this cease and desist letter, remove the trailer/ cement mixer, and/or
submit the revised plans within ten days of the date of this letter, the Board will have no option
but to again take enforcement action against him. Rather than complaining that he is being
harassed for his failure to adhere to the approved plans, your client is well advised to cooperate
with the Association and comply with this cease and desist letter.
Sincerely,
DELPHI LAW GROUP, LLP
