3 1. Assignment La Jolla Pacific of California, Ltd. had been contracted by Keystone Pacific Property Management, Inc. to conduct a third-party one-time maintenance review of all the Common Area and Improvements located in Dana Point, California that Monarch Hills Condominium Association maintained as of January A site review was conducted on January 19, 2016 at the Monarch Hills community. This report is based on existing conditions observed at the time of this site review. The weather preceding the site review was cool and damp. The following is a summary of existing conditions; maintenance recommendations in punch list form for the landscape contractor, painting contractor, and janitorial/handyman/maintenance technician; and, a description of future improvements. Included with this report are photographs taken during the site visit with descriptions. The site review and report are as per the Agreement for said services between the Client and La Jolla Pacific of California, Ltd. The enclosed findings are a result of conditions visually observed at the time of the site visit. This report is prepared for the exclusive use of the Client, including the Association of the particular community. Any external use, copying or reproduction of any kind is prohibited and in violation of applicable copyright laws. 2. Summary of Existing Conditions Landscaping: In general, the lawns, trees and plant material looked healthy and the landscaped areas throughout the community looked maintained. Mature trees are present at the community and in a few areas the trees needed to be trimmed away from structures and roofs. Landscape renovations (cutting back at the slope areas) were taking place at certain areas at the back of the buildings at the time of the site visit. In a few areas, soil and debris had eroded onto the surrounding walkways and hardsurfaces. At these areas, the irrigation should be reviewed to determine if adjustments or repairs are needed and to verify proper drainage. Pooling of water at the hardsurfaces should be eliminated to help avoid deterioration to surfaces, safety hazards, etc. The drainage channels at the community appeared to be clear. These areas should be reviewed regularly to ensure there are no obstructions and the drains are functioning properly. 3 Copyright by La Jolla Pacific. Ltd. All Rights Reserved.

4 Streets, Curbs and Gutters: The condition of the streets, curbs and gutters that the Association maintains is acceptable by industry standards. The asphalt in some locations is beginning to show signs of wear and deterioration and repairs/resealing may be needed in the near future. The sidewalks and walkways throughout the community were clean and clear in most areas at the time of the site visit. Site Amenities: Deterioration at the finish at the mailbox structures was noted in a few locations as well as rusting at the bases. There was also rusting at the metal light poles and lighting fixtures at some areas of the community. (NOTE: Replacement of walkway lighting fixtures is in process and temporary fixtures are in place in some locations). Repairs at the stairs at the Buildings were in process at the time of the site visit (completed at many of the Buildings). In some locations, waterproofing and sealing/painting was incomplete at the wood and stair locations. Damage at railings and surfaces at the stairs was observed in a few locations (refer to the photo documentation for specific locations). Deterioration of the deck coating at the building walkways, stairs and Unit entries was observed. It was reported that recoating of the deck system is to be scheduled for completion. The building utility closets should be reviewed and swept and cleaned out as needed. Rusting at the utility closet doors was noted in a few locations and in some locations the doors were out of alignment. Rusting and deterioration at the metal carport structures at the community was noted throughout. Rust and staining is present at the overhead panels and at the poles. Warped and bent panels as well as holes and cracks at some panels was also observed. Cracks and holes at the overhead panels can allow for water penetration and dripping water onto the vehicles below. An experienced repair contractor can determine if these areas can be repaired or if replacement is necessary. If there is a concern that damaged components have compromised the carport structures in certain areas, the condition of the carport structures can be accessed by a structural engineer to determine what corrective actions would be necessary. If replacement of damaged components or portions of the structures is being considered, building and local code requirements should be verified and design should incorporate the site conditions as well as the architectural theme of the community. 4 Copyright by La Jolla Pacific.

5 Trees hitting the carport structures and leaves and debris at the roofing of the structures was noted. Pooling of water at the roofing of one structure was present at the time of the site visit. Standing water at the metal structures can damage (rusting, warping, etc.) the surfaces and this condition should be eliminated. Leaves and debris were noted at a few of the roofs and gutters at the Buildings. The recent wind and rain may have contributed to these conditions these areas should be reviewed and cleared. Rusting at the metal fencing and surfaces was noted in some locations (refer to the photo documentation for specific locations). Rust at the metal at the framing at the glass panel walls surrounding the spa areas was observed. Repairs and repainting at these areas had been completed but in some areas where rust is present, proper preparation and repainting should be completed. Rust at the metal at the beams at the stairs at many of the buildings was also observed. Clubhouse, Pool and Spa Areas: The interior furnishings and finishes at the clubhouse looked to be well maintained and the areas were clean and the furnishings and equipment in good condition. The fixtures at the restrooms appeared to be functioning but not able to confirm hot water at the restroom sinks. (NOTE: The water heaters were not observed). The gym looked to be in order but there were rips at the carpet in a few locations. The access doors at the clubhouse and pool and spa areas were functioning and the camera system and all HVAC and lighting were reported to be in good working order. The pool and spa water and surfaces appeared clean and clear and the safety equipment in place. The pool and spa furniture at all locations looked to be in good condition and the areas maintained. The pool and spa decking was in good condition. The restrooms and shower areas at the pool and spa locations were clean and in good condition. (NOTE: Debris noted at the shower drain at Spa 37). The pool and spa equipment areas were viewed from outside the fencing and there were no obvious issues or concerns. It was reported the pool service company was very attentive to the project and provides regular updates as to equipment status. 5 Copyright by La Jolla Pacific. Ltd. All Rights Reserved.

Future Improvements There are a number of maintenance items that may be coming up for repair, refurbishment or replacement, please check the recommendations of the Reserve Study to determine time lines for repair and/or replacement of major components. The actual need for replacement, refurbishment or repairs will depend on multiple factors, such as the original quality of the asset, the consistency and effectiveness of preventive maintenance programs, and the amount of use and abuse to which the assets are subjected.
