Several weeks ago the new tenants of the old Hamburger Hamlet on The Old Road near Magic Mountain painted their building a two-tone bluish-purple to the horror of local residents. Several homeowners contacted County and West Ranch Town Council officials complaining of the eyesore.

The matter was brought to the attention of the original developers of the property, Newhall Land, and the current property owner. The owner was unaware that the new tenants had re-painted the building or that they had violated the CC&R’s. Upon notification, the tenant went through the proper design review and received approval of a new color scheme.

As of yesterday, the building was being re-painted with a more pleasing earth tone scheme. Local residents were relieved to see the new paint job and thrilled with the quick action of all involved.
