1991 Unit I on the TRACT MAP 85-1008 was annexed in Oct 1991.

1992 Unit 2 on TRACT MAP 85-1008 was annexed in January 1992.

• The original roads were built by Schuster Construction to access each of the 40
acre parcels in the sub-division.

That same year, the Declaration of Road Maintenance Association was formed.

• Each lot in the RH subdivision shall have an average of 40 acre “average”

parcels. Zoning code: R1 A B

• The county required Penneleme Rd to extend the pavement to connect with the
county easement and dirt road that transitions the BLM land between Rolling Hills
and Surrey Village.

• The extension of Penneleme from Norbus south was built at the same time and to
the same standard as the rest of the roads in the development except that some of
the extension road does not meet the 80’ wide easement requirement because of
terrain restrictions.

1995 • The zoning changed from 40 acre “average” parcels to 10 acre “average” parcels.
Zoning code: R1 A B435

• Property owners were encouraged to split their lots, one benefit was not to have
to pay additional road association fees until the new lot was sold. At which time,
the new owner was responsible for the additional road association fee. Currently,
we have 42 paying lots in our association.

1997 The original roads, Penneleme, Kobuntie and Norbus, were paved in 1997.

equally shared by all owners based on the number of lots/parcels owned within the
properties.

provision in the Amended and Restated Declaration of Road Maintenance
Association and Declaration of Annexation dated May 29, 1997 page 7,

designated on TRACT MAP 85-1008 as a private drive and has a 60’ wide
easement.
