• The land can not be sold in parcels.  It must all remain together. It is not subdividable.

• As per Ventura County ordinance, two horses and their foals are allowed, along with a barn/stable and corral IF the parcels are consolidated as a one+ acre single parcel. The real problem with horses at the site is that there is no place to ride them, except on the property - not really a practicality.

• A swimming pool and pool house are allowed.

• A tennis court is allowed, though a regulation size court would really only fit on the lower back parcel and even then would encroach on the east porch area, so it is not really practical.

• Maintenance and improvements of existing roads and paths means that if approval can be secured from the City/County for a driveway entrance on Foothill Rd., a driveway could be paved up to Foothill.  The parking area could be paved with Pasadena Heritage's approval.

• A guest quarters/maids quarters/visitor center can be built on top of the garage.  It is designed for this.  In lieu of such a building, a foundation could put a visitor center elsewhere on the open land.

• A foundation could put parking areas on the open land.

• The house exterior cannot be modified without the approval of Pasadena Heritage, the holder of the easement.  With their approval, additions might be allowed.

• The interior is protected except for most of the 1982 remodeling work.  This means that
  - a. the kitchen modifications can be undone, changed, etc., as long as the walls are not changed and as long as the work does not detract from the house. 
  - b. The walls on either side of the upstairs central open 'office/sitting room' could be removed to make a larger room using the east bedroom's alcove and the new master bath on the west side. 
  - c. Virtually everything else, including the original lighting fixtures, is protected. 

This does not mean that owners can't improve and maintain the furnaces, appliances, fixtures, etc.  You could even put in air conditioning, for example.  The owner is required to be careful and have Pasadena Heritage approve the plans and have all work performed to the Secretary of the Interior Standards for Rehabilitation.  Think of it as a condominium with a homeowner's association and CC&Rs.  It's very similar.

• The gardens are not protected, though the rock walls are historical.  Again, any major changes involving grading, removal of rock walls, etc., require Pasadena Heritage's approval.

• The fishponds on the east upper terrace and next to the front walk could be renovated and put back into operation.

• Plants could be planted as desired.
