What Does the Engineer's Report LLMD 7 Contain?
The engineer's report LLMD 7 contains improvements. This refers to the work that needs to be done to maintain and take care of trees and other landscaping features. These are located in the public areas within the Landscape Maintenance District No. 2023-7 (Rolling Hills) area.
Proposed improvements aim to maintain and improve street lighting, street trees, and other landscaping in public areas. This includes fixing broken poles and fixtures, changing bulbs, and cleaning lights to ensure they are functioning properly. Additional proposals include maintaining trees, plants, and other landscaping in public areas such as medians, sidewalks, and parks.
The Rolling Hills district has 329 streetlights. The landscaping improvements cover several locations such as median islands, parkway strips, open spaces, and slopes. The total area for landscape maintenance is approximately 1,348,688 square feet, and there are 2,738 street trees within the district. Property owners in the district will be asked to pay for these improvements through an increase in assessments.
Overall, the assessments will provide the necessary funding to keep the street lighting and landscaping features in good condition within the district.
