Survey Summary



	Sunday, October 08, 2006

1. Introduction

The HRB has composed this survey to learn what the community’s interests are for outdoor features and facilities that might be affiliated with the development of Area 9. Additionally, questions have been included that pertain to other aspects of U Hills living. These questions are not intended to raise expectations, but rather to identify interest.

Please note that only one survey may be completed per household.

BACKGROUND: There is limited future U-Hills expansion and common area development. Some improvements are already planned and are being addressed by ICHA, such as restrooms at Gabrielino and Vista Bonita playgrounds. Our existing facilities currently serve approximately 800 residences (660 homes and 140 apartments). 100 new apartments are under construction at Gabrielino Dr and Russell Court. Area 9 (which may be the final area of development in University Hills) is now being planned for the general area bounded by the University House, California Avenue, Bonita Canyon Drive and a future Gabrielino Drive extension. Sub-areas 9.3 and 9.4 (offering approximately 88 single family homes) will be developed within the next two years. The timing for development of the Community Building site has not been determined yet. It is very likely that new recreational amenities immediately serving the Area 9 homes will be located on the Community Building site (Area 9.1).

1. Please state your address. (Please Note: Your address will not remain associated with your responses to this survey. It is requested as a means to confirm that only one survey per home is being completed.)
