Honor American Heart Month by taking steps to keep your heart healthy.
• Regularly monitor your blood pressure.
• Eat a healthy diet full of fresh fruits and vegetables; reduce sodium, added sugar and trans fats.
• Engage in regular physical activity; aim for at least 150 minutes per week.
• Monitor your cholesterol levels regularly with your primary care provider.
Discuss with your primary care provider how you can evaluate, monitor, or improve your heart health.
Roadmap to a Healthy Heart
Heart disease is the number one health risk in the U.S. — imagine life as a road trip, and a healthy heart is the ultimate destination. With better tools and guidance, we can now prevent heart disease. Let’s hit the road to heart health!
Go! Get Moving!
Your heart thrives on movement. Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity each week — this can be split into small, manageable chunks if needed. From brisk walks to dancing, just get your body moving!
And don’t forget to fuel up with heart-healthy foods, such as omega-3-rich fish, like salmon and mackerel, at least twice a week.
Caution! Slow Down
Cut back on saturated and trans fats to lower bad cholesterol (LDL). Limit sodium intake to 1 teaspoon per day to help control blood pressure and avoid heart strain.
Stop! It’s Time to Quit
Quit smoking — it’s the single most significant change you can make for heart health. Smoking increases heart disease risk, but quitting reduces it over time. Talk to your healthcare provider about support options like nicotine replacements and counseling.
Stay Alert! Act Fast in an Emergency
If you experience symptoms of a heart attack — chest discomfort, pain in the arms, back, neck, jaw, or stomach, shortness of breath, dizziness, nausea, or cold sweats — call 911 immediately. Early intervention can save your life.
Don’t Skip the Tune-Ups
Like a car needs maintenance, your heart needs check-ups. At your next appointment, review your blood pressure, cholesterol, BMI, waist circumference, and blood glucose levels. Use these results to assess your heart health and discuss any risks with your provider.
By following these steps — being active, eating well, quitting smoking, and getting regular check-ups — you can help keep your heart in top shape for the journey ahead!
Tania Dickson-Humphries, PA-C is a heart and vascular care specialist at Barton Health. Speak with your primary care provider about your cardiovascular health and if you are overdue for any preventive health screenings. Learn more about cardiovascular or primary care services at BartonHealth.org.

By Dave Peterson
January has come and gone with nary a snowflake. The end of January snow survey at Phillips Station at the turnoff to Sierra at Tahoe, was a dismal 46% of normal; only 8” of snow water equivalent so far. Do your best snow dance for a miracle February and March! As I’m writing this, we’re getting a NUCLEAR BOMB CYCLONE, ATMOSPHERIC RIVER RADIMUS, PINEAPPLE FACE NORIEGA EXPRESS, or so they say on the news. So far, it has just rained a little. We used to just call this a storm… Here is a quick summary of happenings:
Lifestyle and Activities Committee. The committee held another potluck. This one was at our house. We had some great food, wine, and conversation. We would love to have more, but first we need to resolve TKPOA liability and insurance issues. This IS California, after all, and anything that is fun is obviously a fat target for trial lawyers and Easy Street seekers. Sad. Drinking Water. The board subcommittee met with the Finance Committee in January to begin discussions on how to fund the first phase of improvements, which includes a new 2,000 gpm well near the tennis courts on Ala Wai and new 12” pipelines on Ala Wai and Venice (Keys Blvd to about Christie). The work will be done over the next 2 construction seasons and will be funded through either a loan and water rates, or a special assessment, or a combination. Finance is working on it. A second phase will include a new 700,000 gal ground-level tank and pump station and residential water meters, but that is a couple of years out. Meters are state-mandated, but they are also a beneficiary pays fairness feature. Most of you likely have them at your other house(s). Toward the end of 2025 we will do a water rate study.
Discussions are still active with STPUD about everything from consolidation to contract operations. Now that my conflict of interest has been cleared (I’m no longer on the STPUD board), I have been tagged by our board to engage in the discussions going forward. Since
I recused myself from all discussions in the past (by literally leaving the room), I’m now coming up to speed on what work has been done. We have scheduled a meeting with STPUD in late February, so I’ll have an update in one of my next 2 Breeze articles.
Bulkheads. The Townhome Oversight Committee is in discussions with Coves 3B, 4, and 5 about when to do those projects and how to fund them. They don’t meet the criteria for emergency special assessments, but the bulkhead replacements are needed. The steel is at the end of its life.
Waterways. The 3-year CMT is done, and the results will soon be summarized and vetted by independent experts paneled by TRPA. The next key task is writing a long-term management plan and getting it permitted. This will naturally require a new Environmental Impact Statement before permits can be issued. So, the process will likely take 3-4 years and cost several $Millions. The good news is that TRPA intends to be a major contributor to this work. During this 3-4 year period, we need to continue weeds management, or we will be overtaken by the beasts. Interim management will be a combination of fragment containment at the lake interfaces, harvesting, UV treatment, bottom barriers, diver hand pulling, and possibly a test of sediment nutrient removal via suction dredging. The plan is coming into focus, along with cost sharing among TKPOA, the League to Save Lake Tahoe, and TRPA. We will likely be coming to you in February or March for a vote on our portion of the interim plan. We will have information to provide you at that time so that you can make your decision on the special assessment ballot.
That covers the big things. I am hoping that February and March bring snows so plentiful that my turbocharged Binford 8100 snow blower gets frequent spirited workouts. From snowstorms, that is, plain old snowstorms.
PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
UNDERSTANDING EXTERIOR MODIFICATIONS:
A GUIDE FOR TAHOE KEYS PROPERTY OWNERS
The beauty of the Tahoe Keys community lies not only in its stunning landscapes and location but also in the harmonious design of its single family homes and town homes. To keep this aesthetic and ensure that our neighborhood continues to thrive, the Tahoe Keys Property Owners Association (TKPOA) has established guidelines for exterior modifications. Any changes to the exterior of your home must receive approval from the Architectural Control Committee (ACC). This article will outline the types of modifications that require approval, and the process involved.
WHY APPROVAL IS NECESSARY
The ACC exists to preserve the unique character of Tahoe Keys. By regulating exterior changes, we can ensure that all modifications enhance the overall beauty and cohesiveness of our community. This process helps support property values and ensures a pleasant living environment for all residents.
TYPES OF MODIFICATIONS REQUIRING APPROVAL
1. Paint and Siding:
Choosing a new color for your home can significantly alter its appearance. Before making any changes, submit your color choices to the ACC to ensure they align with community standards and a mountain aesthetic.
2. Windows:
Upgrading or changing your windows can improve energy efficiency and aesthetics. However, the style and design must be approved to maintain the architectural integrity of the neighborhood.
3. Landscaping:
Enhancements to your yard, such as new plants, trees, or hardscaping features, require ACC approval. This is to ensure that landscaping choices are right for the local environment and community standards. You can reference our Tahoe Keys ‘Landscape Conservation Idea Book’ for ideas.
4. Driveways and Walkways:
Any alterations to driveways or walkways, including materials and designs, must be reviewed by the ACC to support uniformity and safety.
5. Boat Docks:
For those with waterfront properties, any changes to boat docks or over water platforms must be evaluated by the ACC to adhere to regulations, construction materials, setback requirements and to consider ingress/egress of neighboring docks.
Other projects requiring ACC review are Fences, Sheds, Bear Boxes, Roofs, Decks, Mailboxes and Yard Art.
THE APPROVAL PROCESS
To start the approval process for any exterior modification:
1. Contact the ACC:
Reach out to Linda Callahan, Community Design and Review Manager, for guidance on your proposed changes. You can contact her directly at 530.543.9542 or via email at Linda.Callahan@ fsresidential.com.
2. Submit Your Application for Review. Prepare your submittal, including detailed plans, materials, and colors. This can be done online or in person at the TKPOA front desk. This information helps the ACC make informed decisions.
3. Await Review:
Once submitted, the ACC will review your proposal based on community standards and guidelines. You will receive feedback or approval within 30 days.
4. Begin Work:
After receiving approval, you may go ahead with your project while adhering to any conditions set forth by the ACC. Most approvals are valid for one (1) year.
NOTE: The City of South Lake Tahoe (CSLT) building department requires ACC approval prior to issuing a building permit within the Tahoe Keys.
Understanding and following the exterior modification guidelines is essential for supporting the charm and integrity of the Tahoe Keys community. By working together and respecting these processes, we can preserve the beauty that makes our neighborhood a wonderful place to live.
Applications can be found on our website and at the TKPOA front desk. We will also be happy to email them to you. For more information, visit our website at tkpoa.com.
Together, let’s keep Tahoe Keys beautiful!
THE IMPORTANCE OF UNIFORMITY IN WINDOWS AND DOORS FOR TAHOE KEYS TOWNHOMES
As members of the Tahoe Keys Property Owners Association (TKPOA) Townhome Oversight Committee (TOC), we are dedicated to maintaining the aesthetic integrity and value of our beautiful community. A key aspect of this mission is ensuring uniformity in the appearance of windows and doors across our townhomes. As a result, we are launching a project to review and develop uniformity standards throughout the coves.
UNDERSTANDING THE NEED FOR UNIFORMITY
While individual homeowners bear the cost of replacing windows and doors, it is essential to recognize that these elements contribute significantly to the overall visual harmony of our community. Uniformity is not merely a matter of preference; it plays a crucial role in enhancing property values and preserving the charm that attracts both residents and visitors alike.
When windows and doors match in style, color, and finish, they create a cohesive look that elevates the entire neighborhood. This uniformity provides a sense of belonging and pride in our homes, fostering a community spirit that is vital to the Tahoe Keys lifestyle.
Please note that an ACC application must be filed for all window and door replacements and any work affecting the exterior of our buildings, including door and window replacements, must be approved by the facilities department.
Some owners may perceive the emphasis on uniformity as a restriction on their personal choice. However, it is important to understand that these guidelines are in place to protect the collective aesthetic of our neighborhood. The goal is not to limit individuality but to ensure that all
townhomes contribute positively to the overall environment. When we invest in our community’s appearance, we invest in our property values.
THE ROLE OF A COLOR EXPERT
To further enhance our efforts towards uniformity, ACC will work with a color expert. This professional will provide valuable insight into color palettes that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also harmonize with the natural beauty of our surroundings. Once we have two viable options (individual to each Cove), we will facilitate a vote with owners of that Cove to agree to a set of recommended colors for windows and doors.
The emphasis on uniformity in windows and doors is a vital component of maintaining the appeal and value of our townhomes in Tahoe Keys. By embracing standards, we ensure that our community remains a beautiful, cohesive environment that we can all be proud of. We encourage all homeowners to consider the collective benefits of uniformity and look forward to working together to enhance our neighborhood's charm.
Thank you for your commitment to the Tahoe Keys townhome community!

TAHOE KEYS SECURITY PRACTICES AND PROCEDURES
REMINDER – BOAT, TRAILER AND PARKING RESTRICTIONS
Heather Blumenthal, Operations Manager
The Tahoe Keys Property Owners Association’s Security Department is tasked with patrolling the Tahoe Keys and enforcing provisions of the Association’s Governing Documents (CC&Rs, Bylaws, Operating Rules, Architectural Rules, etc.). The Security Department also works closely with the Community Design and Review (ACC) Department to recognize and report property violations.
The ultimate goal of the TKPOA Security Department is compliance with the provisions of the Association’s Operating Rules and CC&Rs, including but not limited to: ensuring use and enjoyment of the Association’s amenities exclusively by members and their guests, enforcing parking requirements within the Townhomes Subdivisions, enforcing prohibition of commercial business activities and boat/trailer parking within the Tahoe Keys, and protecting each member’s right to the quiet enjoyment of their property.
Security Enforcement Procedures begin with courtesy notices, reminding members, their tenants, and guests, of the Association’s rules and regulations and providing notice that a violation exists. Most security violations are resolved with these courtesy notices and no further action is required.
For those violations that continue, Security will provide warning notices and letters to the property owner, serving as additional reminders of the Association’s rules and regulations and next steps in the enforcement process if the violation continues.
Once all steps to correct the violation have been exhausted by TKPOA Security, a Board Hearing notice will be generated to the responsible property owner for potential disciplinary action. Disciplinary action includes suspension of membership amenity access and fines for confirmed violations.
For more egregious violations, such as illegal property rentals or commercial business violations, an automatic Board Hearing is scheduled with the responsible property owner for potential disciplinary action, including fines starting at $5,000 per incident
Reminder – Boat, Trailer and Parking Restrictions and Enforcement Procedures
TKPOA CC&Rs Article VIII, Section 12, prohibits the parking of trailers, boats, jet skis, and other recreational vehicles within the Tahoe Keys unless within an enclosed garage or for the purposes of loading and unloading. Security will place courtesy reminder tags on boats, trailers, jet skis, and recreational vehicles to remind members, their tenants and guests of the parking restrictions within the Tahoe Keys. This courtesy tag begins the grace period that the Association allows for temporary boat, trailer, and recreational vehicle parking:
Parking Grace Periods
Driveway – 7 Days
Street - 3 Days (same as the CSLT)
Boats, jet skis, and trailers parked within a property’s driveway are provided a 7-day grace period, while parking along the street provides a 3-day grace period (matching the City of South Lake Tahoe’s policy).
Once the grace period timeframe has expired, Security will begin following the parking enforcement procedures which includes placing violation notices and sending warning notices, informing the responsible property owner of next steps, including scheduling a hearing with the Board of Directors for consideration of imposition of fines and/or suspension of amenity access privileges.
Parking Violation Fines - Excerpt from TKPOA Fine Policy
Parking tags placed on vehicle, trailer, RV are considered warning notices for parking violations. A disciplinary hearing will then be scheduled with the Board of Directors for any additional violations after the first violation. Hearings may result in fines and/or suspension of amenity access passes for confirmed violations. Parking fines are assessed per each 7-day period past the initial parking grace period. All fines are assessed per violation (i.e. 2
Townhome Parking Lots
Due to the limited space within Townhome areas, boats, jet skis, trailers, and recreational vehicles may not be parked within a Townhome parking lot at any time. Enforcement procedures within the Townhome lots require immediate removal of the prohibited vehicle/trailer in order to avoid a potential tow.
Security will place a violation tag on the authorized vehicle, boat, jet ski, and/or trailer and attempt to locate the owner prior to initiating further enforcement action.
City of South Lake Tahoe Parking Code and Enforcement
4.25.370 Storage of vehicles on right-of-way prohibited.
No person who owns or has possession, custody or control of any vehicle shall park such vehicle upon any street or alley for more than a consecutive period of 72 hours. (Ord. 21 § 2; Ord. 813 § 8. Code 1997 § 1640)
4.25.650 Penalty.
Any person violating the provisions of this article shall be guilty of an infraction and upon conviction thereof shall be punished by a fine of not less than $50.00 or a greater amount set by resolution of the city council. (Ord. 1098 § 1 (Exh. A); Ord. 961 § 1. Code 1997 § 16-97)
4.25.670 Removal of vehicles authorized.
When appropriate signs or markings are in place giving notice, any officer of the police department, parking control officer or private patrol officer as defined in Chapter 4.140 SLTCC is hereby authorized to remove or cause to be removed any vehicle that is stopped, standing or parked on any municipal off-street parking lot, facility or garage in violation of this article. The procedure for removal or impounding of vehicles shall be as provided in Sections 22850 through 22854 of the California Vehicle Code. (Ord. 1098 § 1 (Exh. A); Ord. 961 § 1. Code 1997 § 16-99)

ARCHITECTURAL CONTROL APPLICATION SUBMITTAL PROCESS
By: Linda Callahan, Community Design and Review (ACC) Department Manager
With the introduction of ‘Smartwebs,’ an HOA management software, members may now access the ‘resident connect portal’ on the FirstService Residential website https://tkpoa.connectresident.com/ where they can upload their project and the required TKPOA applications digitally. ACC can then review said projects virtually, which has eliminated the prior requirement for a submittal schedule and allowed our members additional time to submit their projects in time for the monthly architectural control meetings.
ACC will still adhere to a deadline of Friday by 12pm, on the Friday before the scheduled Tuesday ACC meeting to allow time for staff to add projects to the agenda for timely posting.
Please contact me at Linda.Callahan@fsresidential.com with any questions on the application submittal process or other architectural control matters. Thank you!
