By Architectural Control Committee THE CITY OF SOUTH LAKE TAHOE (CSLT) has
granted the Tahoe Keys Property Owners Association (TKPOA) an exemption to the VHR Ordinance for mandatory Bear Box requirements. The following is a brief history of how we arrived at this exemption. During 2014, the TKPOA Board of Directors asked the Architectural Control Committee (ACC) to work with staff to draft a Bear/Garbage Management Plan for our Association. The main reasons for the Board’s action were: 1. The resident bear population in the Tahoe Keys had grown to about nine individual animals. 2. The bears were encouraged to stay in the Keys due to the prevalence of uncontrolled human food sources (open dumpster containers at the pavilion and townhomes, open trash containers on common areas, uncontrolled residential garbage at single family homes), and unacceptable behaviors by some residents and their tenants (allowing bear dens on properties and actual feeding of bears). We even found a bear den under the pavilion!
