Notice of Adopted Change in Association Rules

The Board adopted these changes at the February 21st, 2024 Regular Board of Directors Meeting.

Changes to Single Family Home, Townhome Subdivision, and Common Area Parking Rules, TKPOA

Operating Rules Article 2, Section 600

Purpose of Change: To clarify Association parking rules.

General Parking Rules

The streets within the Tahoe Keys are owned by the City of South Lake Tahoe; all city ordinances and traffic laws apply. Parking enforcement on city streets is the responsibility of the South Lake Tahoe Police Department however TKPOA Security Officers are responsible for enforcing TKPOA parking rules and regulations throughout the Tahoe Keys.

TKPOA assumes no responsibility for damage, theft, vandalism, or liability done to a vehicle visiting or parked on TKPOA grounds. All vehicles are subject to tow-away for violation of these rules. Vehicles parked in the fire lanes will be towed away without notice.

All vehicles, motorcycles, ATVs, mopeds, etc., operated or parked on the private streets and alleyways of Tahoe Keys shall display current licenses and be maintained in a proper, legal operating condition so as not to be a hazard or nuisance by noise, exhaust emissions, or appearance.

Not more than one motor vehicle per property bearing advertising or otherwise pertaining to this use is allowed unless parked within an enclosed garage. shall be parked on or about the above described premises.

Vehicles bearing an advertising sign, commercial trucks, commercial vans, all such vehicles of more than 2 ½ tons, or of such length to inhibit safe parking, are prohibited from parking in the unassigned parking spaces of TKPOA except in performing their commercial duty and function requiring limited time-period parking. City parking ordinances on street parking apply.

House trailers, motor homes, boats, campers, and recreational vehicles may only be parked or stored within the TKPOA within an enclosed garage, except for the purposes of loading and unloading. Pickup trucks with campers installed in the truck bed and class B vehicles, and camper vans with a maximum length of 23 feet

may be parked within a property’s driveway, within the single-family homes only, however, may not be parked along the street, other than for brief periods of loading and unloading, in order to prevent blocking of roadways and views of pedestrians and bicyclists. Truck bed campers and sprinter vans must reasonably fit within the driveway and may not be utilized for overnight accommodation and may not be stored (i.e. must be utilized as a frequent driver vehicle).

Major vehicle repair, auto repair and maintenance for pay, or extraordinary vehicle maintenance shall not be carried out on Association property. Vehicles shall not be in a state of disrepair or severe damage, nor be allowed to drip excessive amounts of engine or transmission fluids on the streets or alleyways of TKPOA.

Single Family Home Parking Areas

Each resident’s single family home is considered to have parking spaces in the garage, driveways, and in immediate street parking areas near their properties. Additional vehicles shall not be stored, kept, or parked in TKPOA common or townhome parking areas.

Townhome Subdivisions Parking Areas

Townhouses with a garage shall utilize the garage for parking of passenger vehicles only. Each townhouse unit may have only two (2) vehicles in its designated parking area at a time.

Each vehicle parked within townhome subdivision lots must have either a TKPOA parking sticker or hangtag displayed.

No vehicle shall be parked except within their garage or paint-designated parking space. No parking on landscaped areas or off pavement.

All townhouse streets and alleyways are fire lanes and are so marked. Parking in these areas is prohibited at all times, except for 15 minutes loading and unloading, while the vehicle is attended.

No vehicle shall be left in an unassigned-designated parking space in a non-operative condition or with an expired registration. Any vehicle not moved for a period of two weeks is considered a stored vehicle. Vehicles will be towed away at owners’ expense.

Snowboarding & WRIST INJURIES

Snowboarding is one of Tahoe’s greatest draws and thousands of snowboarders spend fun-filled days on its slopes each year. The sport offers excellent cardiovascular benefits, tones muscles, and burns calories, however, snowboarding is not without risk, especially when learning or progressing in the sport.

Due to equipment differences and rider stance, snowboarders use their arms, rather than poles like skiers, to maintain their balance. Accordingly, many snowboarding-related injuries come after a forward or backward fall broken by a rider’s outstretched arms, resulting in wrist sprains and fractures.

And while all snowboarders are at risk of wrist injuries, until a beginning rider feels more comfortable maintaining their balance, they are at increased risk, largely due to frequent falls.

Wrist sprains are an overstretching or tearing of a ligament causing pain, swelling, bruising, and weakness. Mild sprains can be treated with RICE (rest, ice, compression, and elevation). Occasionally a sprain will be severe enough to require surgical repair.

The complex structure of the hand, wrist, and forearm present many possible places for fracture from a fall. Fractures will typically cause swelling, bruising, and pain and are treated with immobilization (casting) or surgery.

It can be difficult to differentiate between a wrist sprain and fracture — a visit to an urgent care, emergency department, or orthopedic specialist

for an accurate diagnosis and subsequent treatment may be required.

There are a few things riders can do to help prevent wrist injuries while snowboarding:

• Maintain your equipment — get a preseason tune-up and frequently check for inoperative or damaged gear.

• Warm up and stretch — make sure your body is ready for the physical demands of snowboarding.

• Wear protective gear — wearing wrist guards can help prevent wrist fractures and all snowboarders should wear a helmet.

• Learn to fall correctly — as soon as you feel like you’re losing control, get ready to fall by getting low to the ground with bent knees and try to keep your arms bent and close to your body.

• Say no to reckless behavior — snowboarding while intoxicated places yourself, as well as others on the mountain, at a much greater risk.

• If you’re headed into the backcountry — always venture out with a buddy, check avalanche reports (sierraavalanchecenter.org is a good local resource), create a plan with your crew (and stick to it), and always carry the proper safety equipment including beacon, avalanche shovel, and probe, along with a first aid kit.

Snowboarding can be an incredibly rewarding way to spend time outdoors. Consider these tips to prevent injuries and preserve your wrist health before strapping in.

SUBMITTAL SCHEDULE

TKPOA Water OperationsCompany

By: Jennifer Lukins, Lake Tahoe Water Operations Management

Tahoe Keys Water Company (TKWC) serves the homeowners of the Tahoe Keys plus five commercial customers with domestic drinking water.  Providing clean, safe, and reliable drinking water is our number 1 priority, and an around the clock job.

Our team of water operators at TKWC provide 24/7 services to our customers. This includes making sure generators are running during power outages, responding to customer services calls, collecting water samples weekly, and repairing water leaks. You may have seen or been lucky enough to meet our operators Raul, Bryan or George working throughout the neighborhoods.

Each week Raul, Bryan and George take, on average, over 5 drinking water samples to ensure your drinking water is safe.  We also take daily chlorine residual samples throughout the distribution system to ensure that drinking water is properly disinfected, and to watch for any signs of potential water quality issues. In addition to this, the guys check each well and treatment facility daily to make sure all operations are working for you.

During the winter months, in addition to daily water company tasks, our operators help handle snow removal throughout the Tahoe Keys.  When the power goes out, emergency operations take over. Our crews go to each well to make sure that generators turn on so there is no interruption in your water service. When running, generators must be checked several times a day for fuel.

In the summer we regularly respond to broken sprinkler calls and homeowner leak issues.  In addition to this, we work diligently with all TKPOA staff to promote water conservation.  To give you an idea, in non-irrigation months, TKWC produces about 5 million gallons of water per month.  In the summer, we produce upwards of 45 million gallons of water per month. TKWC customers use about 40 million gallons of water per month for irrigation.

TKWC receives on average 4 service calls a day related to drinking water services. These calls range from water leaks, water service shut off/turn on at customers’ requests, and streetlight maintenance.

So, the next time you see the Water Company crew, feel free to say hi!

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

New Boardmember. At the February board meeting, the board selected Bryan Welsh to serve out the remaining term of Michelle Pandori. We had 3 fine candidates that volunteered to serve, but Bryan was nominated due to his financial background and years of service on the Finance Committee.

Special Assessments. In January, the special assessment vote for Cove 3A was extended to allow affected members to receive and digest more information. At the February meeting, votes were counted, and the cove members approved the assessment. The assessment will fund needed bulkhead work, with some money left over (hopefully) for other projects. Staff will be moving forward to collect the assessment and get the project rolling.

Bulkheads. I don’t have any updates to my last-month’s President’s Message on this topic this month other than the 3A news above. Cove 3C construction should be ongoing by the time you read this. On Bavarian Isle and St. Moritz Isle, staff measured house-to-bulkhead distances, and is awaiting ice thaw to measure bulkhead height from mudline to top of wall; the measurements are needed in order to complete our risk assessment. I’ll have more on these and other bulkheads each month. This is a big topic.

Corporate Yard. In last month’s Breeze, I updated you

on our space planning efforts at the corporate yard, Texas Ave. site, and needed “Yellow lot” near Tahoe Keys Beach and Harbor. Our key schedule constraints are our legal settlement with the marina (which includes milestones for purchase of the yellow lot), and our agreement with the California Tahoe Conservancy (CTC) which requires us to vacate and demolish our facilities at the Dover Ave. corporate yard by the end of 2024.

It is not feasible to complete the yellow lot purchase and build a new corporate yard there by the end of 2024. It will probably take 2-3 years to accomplish all that. At the February meeting, staff presented options for an interim corporate yard, and the board approved negotiation of a rental/lease agreement with Hain Construction for rental of part of their existing building and yard at the corner of Lake Tahoe Blvd and Industrial Ave. for $7,500/month. The move will begin early this summer. Thank you Hallie Kirkingburg and John Cefalu for getting ahead of this!

Drinking Water. We received results of testing on whether we’d be able to eliminate treatment for uranium at well 3 by blocking off water from lower strata (thereby reducing source water uranium concentrations below the trigger for treatment), but the results were not good. It was an idea that showed promise on paper, but field testing proved otherwise. So well 3 will require treatment for as long as we use it. At the February meeting, the

board authorized staff to prepare a work plan to hire an engineer to explore a new well, new tank, and pipeline improvements.

We have been able to meet peak water demands with our interim facilities (throttled pump capacity and temporary treatment at wells 2 and 3), plus reduced irrigation demands, but our fire flow capacity is still limited. Also, we don’t know how much longer well 1 can operate without treatment. We need a permanent solution, and it is time to begin the engineering. (BTW, well 1 is near the indoor pool, well 2 is by the Venice bridge, and well 3 is along west Venice by Pope Marsh).

Bear Boxes/Garbage Cans. The bears have been hibernating, but spring is coming. Yogi and Boo Boo will be on the hunt for a picanic basket, and your garage door will be the only thing standing in the way. It would be a good time to get that ACC application in for a bear box and get an installer lined up.

Card Pass Policy. At the February meeting, the board approved a 28-day member review of a revised card pass policy. The 3 key problems we’re trying to solve with the revised policy are:

1. Passes were being given or even sold by members to non-Keys people, who have been bringing their

own guests. And there are hundreds of extra cards “out there” that have not been turned off, for one reason or another. This is causing Keys people to get crowded out, particularly in summer at the pickleball and tennis courts, pools, and Pavilion beach/pool.

2. An old court case strictly limits access through the Lighthouse Shores gate to Member cards only, but our current system gives access to all cards.

3. Similarly, a 1991 court settlement with the marina grants free boat launch to Members only, but all card holders have been getting the privilege.

Our first draft of the revised policy received a lot of comments during the 28-day member review. So the Rules and Enforcement Committee spent some time on a re-write. They also held a well-attended townhall meeting, for more input and discussion. The revised proposed policy hopefully addresses the bulk of Member concerns. Please give it a read and let us know your thoughts.

As I write this, February is nearly gone. We have received a bit more snow; enough to open up more terrain at Heavenly and spread people out. But we are still way below average, so a wet March would be a good thing. And spring is right around the corner, so time to start thinking about getting those spring project plans into ACC for approval. And tie up your contractors early!

TKPOA WATER QUALITY DEPARTMENT YEAR END REPORTING SUMMARY

The TKPOA WQ Department has published the year end reports that detail projects that took place during the 2023 season. The major works are the Annual Report: Control Methods Test (CMT) Year 2, the WDR Integrated Management Plan (IMP), the WDR Nonpoint Source Water Quality Management Plan (NPS) and the TKPOA AIS End of Season report.

Annual Report: Control Methods Test Year 2 (2023)

The Annual Report is a permit required report detailing the objectives, methods, implementation, and results for the Control Methods Test. This was written and reviewed in a collaborative effort using data gathered by the TKPOA team and ESA – a third party TRPA contractor. This report is submitted to Lahontan Regional Water Quality Control Board (LRWQCB) by March 1st every year for the CMT three-year project. The findings of the CMT will inform future decisions for the long-term plan and help TKPOA push for an ecologically sound, economically viable, and permittable solution to the aquatic invasive weeds infestation.

Highlights from the Annual Report for the 2023 season:

• The criterion for implementing Group B methods was data driven. Rake sampling and biovolume scans were used to determine what areas needed additional treatments to maintain the 75% knockback in specific sites. No herbicides were applied in 2023.

• The TKPOA WQ team collected 10,169 points of water quality data at 100% completeness. Over 40,000 data points were obtained, including interval data logged from miniDOTs, as part of the CMT Year 2 monitoring compliance. The overall project had 98% monitoring completeness, a major achievement for a project of this magnitude.

• The water level was about 4ft deeper in 2023 and nearly twice the volume. This resulted in newly submerged shoreline areas which increased habitat for aquatic plants to grow from the dormant seed bank of the untreated areas (areas that had not received Group A treatments in 2022).

• Successful knock-back of target species was evident in 2023 within sites that had been treated with Endothall or Triclopyr in 2022. Eurasian watermilfoil remained nearly absent in treated sites.

• Dispersed across the sites, Bottom Barriers (BB) and Diver Assisted Suction Harvesting (DASH) treatments totaled around one acre each and UV had around three acres of spot treatments. Each method showed positive results in sustaining control. After BB removal, those treatment areas had the most regrowth of invasive plants. In 2024, all Group B methods will expand in treatment capacity. In addition, the duration of treatments will also extend further in the season, if weather allows.

• The success in the removal of targeted invasive species possibly gave the native Coontail an opportunity to grow more significantly due to less competition. Coontail is unrooted allowing it to float around lagoons – this impacted testing sites, rake data and regrowth in treated areas.

• Native plant species showed higher relative abundance in treatment sites when compared to untreated control areas. Areas treated with DASH showed the most regrowth of the native Elodea canadensis.

2014 Waste Discharge Requirements (WDR)

TKPOA is required to report and take action to reduce all potential sources of pollutants around the Keys lagoons in both water and land-based management practices. The

WDR requires two reports: The Integrated Management Plan (IMP) and the Nonpoint Source Plan (NPS). Both reports are submitted to LRWQCB by January 31st every year.

Highlights from the IMP (water-based projects):

• The TKPOA harvesting crew removed 4,910 cubic yards or 606 tons of weeds. A new disposal method to eliminate the need for drying harvested material onsite was successful in streamlining the operation. This change proved to be practical and cost effective, therefore, will be continued in 2024.

• The Boat-Backup Station remained a highly effective method in fragment control. Compliance from boaters remained high as fragments were successfully removed from boat props before entering Lake Tahoe proper.

• The West Channel double bubble curtain increased its compressor capacity to add strength in the flow of bubbles. The East Channel bubble curtain was off for most of the season due to electrical issues. Monitoring will continue in 2024 to inform the effectiveness of these air curtains.

• Less occurrences of Harmful Algae Blooms (HABs) were in the lagoons this season. This could be attributed to higher water levels, colder temperatures, and less stagnation from the previous years. A new method using ultrasonic wave technology was implemented in two locations to help suppress the algae blooms from forming. These units will be reinstalled in 2024 and monitored for effectiveness.

• A new method for monitoring how deep sunlight reaches down the water column was introduced. Photosynthetically Active Radiance (PAR) will be used to help inform plant growth expectations throughout the season.

• Major equipment, including all harvesters, boats, and trailers have been repaired and restored to full working condition. The Water Quality shop was rebuilt and reorganized into a functional space.

• TKPOA AIS crew has refined and expanded mapping capabilities using advanced software programs such as ArcGIS and Biobase.

Highlights from the NPS (land-based projects):

• Stormwater runoff was monitored to understand the nutrient levels entering the waterways. Sampling sources in the Keys lagoons and surrounding marsh areas indicate that TKPOA’s lagoons are not a primary pollutant of nutrients and that surrounding marshland areas have a similar, if not worse, nutrient water quality.

• The TRPA’s BMPs continue to be the best control for preventing pollutants from entering the lagoon

waterways. The TKPOA highly encourages all homeowners to attain the BMP certification for their parcels. Currently 35%, or 88 acres, of land within the Keys hold the certification.

• Phosphorus fertilizers are banned from use in the Tahoe Keys.

• Using boat inspection stations for decontamination before launching in Tahoe is required in ensuring no new invasive species are introduced into the Lake. Non-motorized watercraft and clothing, such as wetsuits and waiters, are also suggested to be cleaned and dried before use in Tahoe as these can also harbor non-native species.

• Native landscaping guidebooks are available to share processes of how to transform lawns into lagoonfriendly landscaping areas.

• TKPOA hosts a variety of outreach and training programs to inform homeowners about the waterways and how they can get involved to help around the lagoons. Town Hall Forum webinars are posted on the project website so homeowners can watch at their convenience.

• TKPOA has seven cigarette butt canisters around the common areas for safe and clean disposal of cigarette litter.

Laminar Flow Aeration

TKPOA has three Laminar Flow Aeration (LFA) sites. The purpose is to evaluate whether circulation using aeration on the lagoon bottom will help reduce the muck sediment layer formed by decaying plant matter. The muck layer is the primary source of nutrients available to plants. This report was submitted to LRWQCB on January 14th for the testing program for activities done outside the CMT.

Highlights from the LFA report:

• The LFA project has expanded in conjunction within the CMT. It will continue to be explored as a possible treatment working in combination with other nonherbicide methods.

• New methods for monitoring muck depth have been implemented and will be a main factor in determining the effectiveness of the LFA systems.

Non-permit required reports such as the AIS End of Season Report, Macrophyte Surveys, Ecotonal Reports, and Bottom Barrier Reports have all been published and expand on projects, activities, and achievements throughout the year from the waterways team. All these reports mentioned above can be accessed in their entirety on keysweedsmanagement.org.

Operating Rule

Water Conservation and Irrigation Section 10

SECTION 10

WATER CONSERVATION RULES

1. Irrigation Limits. Irrigation shall be calibrated and scheduled to deliver no more than the following:

April 1 – October 31: 1.5 inches per week (3 Times a Week)

2. Irrigation Scheduling. Subject to the exemptions below, landscape irrigation is permitted only on designated irrigation days, as designated in Schedule A (Attached):

3. Exemptions from Irrigation Schedule. No exceptions to irrigation schedule for new plant material (including new turf), other than drip irrigation systems as reviewed by Architectural Control and per the prior irrigation rule schedule. Drip irrigation systems must comply with the Irrigation Limits listed in Section 10.1.

10.03a Drip Irrigation Schedule

• Even Numbered Street Addresses: Monday, Wednesday, and Friday

• Odd Numbered Street Addresses: Sunday, Tuesday, and Thursday

• Landscape irrigation on Saturday is prohibited.

10.03b Turf Reduction Exemption

The Board of Directors, at the request of the Water Conservation Committee, will allow temporary relief from the Emergency Landscape Irrigation Rule for newly-installed turf provided it does not exceed 25% of the property's Total Landscape Area.

The temporary relief would allow new sod to be irrigated twice a day for Days 1 thru 14 and once per day for Days 15 thru 21 and on Day 22 going forward owners will need to follow the Emergency Landscaping Irrigation Rule.

Should an owner decide to re-seed their turf and it is reduced to a maximum of 25% of the property's Total Landscape Area, then the owner would be allowed to water twice a day to prevent the top 2 inches of the soil from completely drying out until the grass grows to a height of 1 inch (usually 3 to 4 weeks) at which time the owner would need to change their irrigation schedule to follow the Emergency Landscape Irrigation Rule.

Exclusions to the definition of a property's Total Landscape Area includes impervious areas such as, structures, driveways, walkways and hardscape patios and decks. Additionally, BMP infiltration trenches and landscaped areas supplied by drip irrigation would be excluded.

This temporary relief measure is applicable only to new sod or seeding of turf and does not apply to existing lawns.

4. Prohibited Activities. No Owner, nor an Owner’s tenant, contractor, employee, or agent may engage in any of the following activities: Irrigation is Prohibited on Memorial Day Weekend, July Fourth Weekend, and Labor Day Weekend Allowing water to flow over the ground surface or from sprinklers onto surfaces that are not able to absorb water or onto neighboring properties.

Use of a hose without an automatic shut-off nozzle.

Use of water to wash sidewalks, driveways, parking areas, tennis courts, decks, patios, or other improved areas.

Any activity prohibited by federal, state, or local law or regulation.

Home Improvements:

MAKING UPDATES TO THE WINDOWS AND INSIDE OF YOUR TOWNHOME A SUCCESS

If you own a townhome and are planning to have work done in your unit, here are 2 steps to ensure a smooth construction process and to avoid any conflicts with townhome/cove rules:

1. File an ACC application: All exterior and interior work on townhomes must be approved by the ACC. Contact the ACC to submit a project application. The ACC must check that your contractor meets the license criteria, to protect you and your cove. Failure to apply and obtain approval could result in fines. Please contact Linda Callahan for more information. Our ACC staff is there to help you through this process.

2. Notify the Facilities Staff: Inform the facilities staff about the timing and nature of the planned work by using the online work order system on the TKPOA website. While the facilities staff primarily handle care, maintenance, and updates to the exterior of the townhomes, there can be instances of overlap. For example, if your project involves installing or repairing a window that requires chipping into the siding, which is considered exterior, staff needs to make sure siding is available for replacement before construction starts. Please note, the cost of siding will be charged to you.

By following these steps, you can streamline your construction process and ensure compliance with townhome/cove regulations, facilitating a successful outcome for your project.

Q1 TOWNHOME SURVEY RESULTS

Thank you to everyone who responded to our first townhome survey. We appreciate your comments and will address them as quickly as we can. The survey presentation slides are posted on the website. We got a 50% response rate – this is great!

A. Who are we as townhome members?

52% of members who responded have owned their home for over 10 years, and 80% say the Keys is their second home.

B. Which Communication methods work?

• TOWNHALLS: 57% of members have attended at least 1 townhall and found the information relevant.

• NEWSLETTERS: 86% of members have received our newsletters and found them relevant

• KEYS BREEZE: 91% of members read articles in the Keys Breeze

• WEBSITE: 94% of members occasionally or never use the website.

• SURVEYS: 50% response rate – this is a great way to check in with members on topics.

In addition to townhalls and newsletters, the TOC will immediately start using the Keys Breeze as an additional means to communicate with townhome members.

C. Reserve and Project Understanding

50% of members still only understand reserves “somewhat well” and 56% of members only understand upcoming projects in their cove “somewhat well”.

The TOC needs to continue its effort to share information on reserves and projects to raise those percentages.
