Lighthouse Shores Pedestrian Gate and Beach Access

By: Heather Blumenthal, Operations Manager

We would like to remind all TKPOA Property Owners of the rules associated with the use of the pedestrian gate at Lighthouse Shores (LHS) Lot C and Lot A. Through recent Tahoe Keys Property Owners Association (TKPOA) Security Patrols and reviewed Security Camera footage, there have been violations of the Superior Court Case SV-92-0066 Judgement by TKPOA Property Owners and their guests in violation of the following: • Bringing dogs into LHS on or off leash. • Allowing Guests or Vacation Renters to use their

TKPOA Member Photo ID card for access to LHS Lot

C without the immediate presence of the TKPOA

Member • Trespassing on the adjacent LHS Properties

THE RULES

The rules are straightforward. TKPOA Members should observe the following provisions pursuant to Superior Court Case SV-92-0066: • TKPOA Members with a valid TKPOA Member Photo

ID card and guests in the immediate presence of their sponsoring member will be permitted access. Access is only permitted to TKPOA property owners using their photo Member Access card issued by TKPOA. This card is not transferrable; it is not to be loaned or used by anyone other than the property owner to whom it is issued. If you have lost your card or wish to have another one issued, please visit the Pavilion office. • There are no dogs or bicycles allowed, no exceptions.

This is clearly posted on the gate and there are bike racks inside the gate. • Access through this gate is allowed from 7:00AM9:00PM except during the summer, during which time the hours will be extend to 10:00PM

NO DOGS

No Dogs or other pets allowed in LHS. Please remember dogs must be on leashes throughout the TKPOA per El Dorado County Ordinance Title 6 – Animals, Chapter 6.04. General Provisions, Section 9.46.600. For the safety of your dog, TKPOA members and their guests please keep your dog on a leash. Dogs are welcome on their leash at the Pavilion Beach area.

NO TRESPASSING

When entering through the LHS pedestrian gate, you are on Lot C which is a narrow lot with Pope Marsh on the left and private residences on the right. TKPOA does not own the properties to the right of Lot C. This is private property and the No Trespassing law per California Penal Code 602PC applies. The City of South Lake Tahoe Police Department will be called for trespassing on these properties. The TKPOA has clearly marked the property lines on the right of the lot. The left side of the lot has a chain link fence all the way down to the beach on the Pope Marsh side.

Lot C can be used to access Pope Marsh on the left, however access to the beach on the right is prohibited as this is private property and to do so is considered trespassing (CA 602PC). Access to the right is also a dead end at the West Channel Bulkhead. During Lake Tahoe high water events there is typically no Public Trust beach access. To access Lot A at the end of the LHS roadway at the West Channel Bulkhead, you should walk down the LHS paved roadway.

Pursuant to the Superior Court Case SV-92-0066 Judgement the TKPOA is responsible for the maintenance and security obligations in enforcing this judgement, and at this time the enforcement of these violations including trespassing violations on the adjacent LHS property will be pursued. Based on TKPOA Security Patrols and pedestrian gate Member Card reader identification system, the TKPOA has issued warning notices and in some cases, fines, to those members in violation of the LHS Gate Access as specified in the Superior Court Case Judgement. The TKPOA Board of Directors will continue to utilize the Member Discipline process in accordance with Civil Code Section 5855 and TKPOA Bylaws Article VI, Membership Rights Section 5, Article IX, Duties and Powers of the

Board Section 1(r), and TKPOA Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&R’s) Article XII, Breach or Default, Section 6 (a-f), to enforce this Superior Court Case SV-92-0066 Judgement, related governing documents, and rules.

The LHS pedestrian and vehicle gates are under continuous surveillance and all TKPOA Member Photo ID Card access is recorded so it is easy to track any violations. Once the violations are identified with the responsible Property Owners through the Member Discipline Hearing process, TKPOA Property Owners could face their individual and property Member Photo ID card access privileges suspended, Member Photo ID Cards confiscated, and potential fines.

The TKPOA is requesting that all property owners please respect these rules so that we can all continue to enjoy this privilege of accessing Lot C and Lot A. Continued violations and flagrant abuse of these rules could result in legal claims against the TKPOA and potential gate closures.
