HOPE RANCH DEFENDANTS NOTICE OF MOTION AND MOTION FOR SUMMMARY ADJUDICAION

2 MEMORANDUM OF POINTS AND AUTHORITIES
3 Judicial notice may be taken of “[o]fficial acts of the legislative, executive, and judicial
4 departments of the United States and of any state of the United States.” (Evid. Code, § 452, subd.
5 (c).) Judicial notice may also be taken of “facts and propositions that are not reasonably subject to
6 dispute and are capable of immediate and accurate determination by resort to sources of
7 reasonably indisputable accuracy.” (Evid. Code § 452, subd. (h).) Where sufficient notice is
8 provided to adverse parties, and sufficient information is provided to the Court to take judicial
9 notice of a matter, judicial notice is mandatory. (Evid. Code § 453.)
10 The fact that a deed is recorded in the County’s official records is judicially noticeable as
11 an “official act” of the County of Santa Barbara. (Ragland v. U.S. Bank National Assn. (2012)
12 209 Cal.App.4th 182, 194 [“A recorded deed is an official act of the executive branch, of which
13 this court may take judicial notice.”])
14 Further, where recorded instruments are properly noticed and authenticity is not disputed,
15 judicial notice may be taken of the existence of the instrument, its facial contents, and any facts
16 that can be derived, or deduced, from the legal effect of the deed or statements therein. (San
17 Francisco CDC LLC v. Webcor Construction L.P. (2021) 62 Cal.App.5th 266, 281 [“Judicial
18 notice may be taken of the existence and facial contents of recorded real property records where,
19 as here, the authenticity of the document is not challenged”]; Julian Volunteer Fire Co. Assn. v.
20 Julian-Cuyamaca Fire Protection Dist. (2021) 62 Cal.App.5th 583, 600 [trial court did not err in
21 taking judicial notice of dates and legal effect of statements contained in deeds]; Yvanova v. New
22 Century Mortgage Corp. (2016) 62 Cal.4th 919, 925, fn. 1 [judicial notice of existence and facial
23 contents of recorded instruments mandatory where properly noticed].)
24 Thus, it is proper to take judicial notice of Exhibit A through Exhibit F, including their
25 contents. The Association respectfully requests that the Court take judicial notice of Exhibit A
26 through Exhibit F.

Your Neighbor’s Address
RE: View Obstruction
Dear ______________:
This letter is to follow-up on our conversation of [insert date of first discussion with neighbor
about your view concern - if applicable] regarding my concern about your trees/hedges
[describe problem trees and their location] which are interfering with the view of [see CC&R
sections 1.25 and Guideline Section 2.06 for a definition of which “views” are protected from
unreasonable obstructions] from my/our Hope Ranch home.
As you know, we have not been able to informally resolve my/our view concerns in a mutually
acceptable way. As a result, pursuant to Hope Ranch Building Guideline §6.08, I am requesting
that we meet on my property on [insert suggested date and time for a meeting] along with the
Hope Ranch HOA General Manager for an informal discussion of whether my/our view
concerns can be appropriately resolved and whether a written agreement about our resolution
can be agreed to between us as neighbors, including how the cost of any required tree trimming
may be shared and maintained in the future.
Under Hope Ranch Building Guideline section 6.08 (b) if you do not respond to this letter
within 30 days or if you decline to meet with me within 30 days, I will be entitled to ask that
my/our view concerns be reviewed and addressed by the Hope Ranch Board’s View
Committee.
Please do not hesitate to contact me or the Hope Ranch General Manager if you have any
questions concerning this letter or the Hope Ranch Building Guideline process for resolving
view obstruction concerns.
Sincerely,
Hope Ranch Owner (Owner A)

Code, § 452, subd. 5 (c).) Judicial notice may also be taken of “facts and propositions that are not reasonably subject to 6 dispute and are capable of immediate and accurate determination by resort to sources of 7 reasonably indisputable accuracy.” (Evid. Code § 452, subd. (h).) Where sufficient notice is 8 provided to adverse parties, and sufficient information is provided to the Court to take judicial 9 notice of a matter, judicial notice is mandatory. (Evid. Code § 453.) 10 The fact that a deed is recorded in the County’s official records is judicially noticeable as 11 an “official act” of the County of Santa Barbara. (Ragland v. U.S. Bank National Assn. (2012) 12 209 Cal.App.4th 182, 194 [“A recorded deed is an official act of the executive branch, of which 13 this court may take judicial notice.”]) 14 Further, where recorded instruments are properly noticed and authenticity is not disputed, 15 judicial notice may be taken of the existence of the instrument, its facial contents, and any facts 16 that can be derived, or deduced, from the legal effect of the deed or statements therein. (San 17 Francisco CDC LLC v. Webcor Construction L.P. (2021) 62 Cal.App.5th 266, 281 [“Judicial 18 notice may be taken of the existence and facial contents of recorded real property records where, 19 as here, the authenticity of the document is not challenged”]; Julian Volunteer Fire Co. Assn. v. 20 Julian-Cuyamaca Fire Protection Dist. (2021) 62 Cal.App.5th 583, 600 [trial court did not err in 21 taking judicial notice of dates and legal effect of statements contained in deeds]; Yvanova v. New 22 Century Mortgage Corp. (2016) 62 Cal.4th 919, 925, fn. 1 [judicial notice of existence and facial 23 contents of recorded instruments mandatory where properly noticed].) 24 Thus, it is proper to take judicial notice of Exhibit A through Exhibit F, including their 25 contents. The Association respectfully requests that the Court take judicial notice of Exhibit A 26 through Exhibit F. 27 / / / 28 / / / 3 HOPE RANCH DEFENDANTS NOTICE OF MOTION AND MOTION FOR SUMMMARY ADJUDICAION 1 2 Dated: December 1, 2023 KAUFMAN DOLOWICH & VOLUCK LLP 3 4 By: ______________________________________ 5 ANDREW J.
