HOA Homefront Reader Questions
My Peeping Doorbell Camera, and Where is MY Parking Space? By Kelly G. Richardson, Esq. CCAL Kelly: Because of the type of work I do at home, I was required to install a security system in my condominium including a front door camera. My neighbor across the walkway is captured daily in recordings which show numerous occasions of various at-home liaisons with persons who are not his wife, and on other occasions coming home intoxicated. Should I share these videos with the HOA? Is my camera an invasion of his privacy? Unfortunately, because of proximity and motion detection I cannot reduce the range of the video. Am I liable if I ignore what the camera records? Would the HOA be liable if he gets into an auto accident while drunk? – JP Dear J.P.: The advent of low-cost “doorbell” or other internet-connected security cameras has created a new set of privacy concerns. These cameras record not only high-quality video, but also conversations of persons having no idea that their conversations are being overheard and recorded. Some of my clients have adopted rules regarding such cameras, restricting cameras from monitoring neighboring back yards or windows in their view. I think most would agree that there is no expectation of privacy in common area walkways or hallways, but if you shared videos of your neighbor’s activities it might be considered an invasion of his privacy (as to his comings and goings). I do not think you have a duty to share the videos with anyone unless they record a crime, in which case you should report the incident to law enforcement. I cannot conceive of a way in which the HOA could be liable for not stopping a resident from drinking and driving, since the HOA probably does not have the power to do so. – Best regards, Kelly
Dear Mr. Richardson: Can the Board ignore the CC&Rs? The CC&Rs say that each lot comes with a parking space, and the association has permanently assigned one parking space for each owner, but due to poor structural design, my designated parking space is unusable due to impossible access for a medium-sized vehicle. I asked the board to designate me another space and was rejected. What to do? In fairness to the Board, I think remedying the problem would cost the association several thousand dollars. – Best Regards, P.F. Dear P.F.: CC&Rs are the top governing document, and all the other governing documents must give way to the CC&Rs, per Civil Code Section 4205. CC&Rs must not conflict with state law and are essentially an agreement binding all homeowners together. Associations are expected to obey the governing documents and to consistently apply them, or could be in breach of those documents. So, hopefully the board will consult the HOA’s lawyer to determine if the HOA is required to make sure you have a functional space. However, you may not be informed of the advice, since legal advice given to the board is typically considered confidential and therefore not shared with all owners. I frequently see garages that are too small for larger passenger cars, or driveways that are too short for normal cars to park in the driveway without blocking the sidewalk. These design errors can often bedevil the board and management as they hopefully seek practical resolution of these problems. – Thanks for your question, Kelly

Your Handyman
Saving Energy Around the House By Mark Baird Much attention has been given by the media in the recent past about an intimidating new style of home building coined “Green” Construction of “Green” Homes built by “Green” Contractors. These articles talk at length of radiant barriers, rigid foam insulation, tank-less water heaters, building envelopes, structural insulated panels, photovoltaic panels, 95% efficient furnaces; all leaving the typical homeowner confused and wondering if they have any chance of making their home a little more energy efficient without having to make a trip to the bank to borrow a wheel barrel full of green backs. Most of the buzz about green building seems to be directed to new construction and larger remodels and yes it does push up the construction costs in a very significant way with the hopes of a long-term payback via smaller monthly bills from The Gas Company and So Cal Edison. We receive many calls from homeowners asking if there are lesser expensive ways out there to make an older home cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter and lower the energy bills at the same time, and the answer is YES! Water Heater Blankets: Your water heater is essentially a tank that is always full of scalding hot water and can be easily made more energy efficient with the installation of a water heater blanket wrap. Purchase a wrap at any hardware store that is fitted for the size of your tank that is typically 40 gallons and is held on with simple straps and good old duct tape. Imagine throwing an extra comforter on your bed in the winter chill and you’ll understand the concept. Heater Thermostat: If you have lived in your home for 30-40 years and have been using the same thermostat all these years it’s time to consider a new one. Older thermostats simply turned the furnace on when the temperature dropped below the set temperature whether it was 2 AM or 2 PM. Newer models are easily programmed to turn up the temperature before you rise in the morning, lower it during the daytime hours, turn it up again in the evening hours, and then lower it
for the night time hours you spend under quilts and comforters. A new digital thermostat costs about $50, is simple to install, can feature large easy to read numbers and doesn’t require any additional wires or power. You can even buy a thermostat with wi-fi capability that allows you to control the furnace via your smart phone. Shade Trees: Maybe the greenest way to keep your home cool in the summer is a fast-growing shade tree planted in a spot where it will keep the blazing afternoon sun from turning your home into an oven. Pick a tree that grows quickly, provides shade in the summer and drops its leaves in the winter when you want the sun to warm your house, doesn’t shed anything sticky or anything that stains a patio, and has roots that grow downward instead of along the surface as to not damage walkways and foundations. The beautiful Tipu tree meets all these requirements and is very commonly seen throughout Santa Barbara along sidewalks and providing shade in parking lots. It’s remarkable how much cooler your house can be in the summer afternoons and evenings when enjoying the shade of a beautiful tree. New Appliances: New refrigerators, water heaters, dishwashers, ovens, clothes washers and dryers are much more efficient than their aging ancestors, do a better faster job cleaning and drying, make a lot less noise, and use much less energy. So, if you’ve been waiting for a reason to replace that old avocado green refrigerator or that burnt orange kitchen range; wait no more! Plus, there is a big demand for all types of scrap metals in today’s economy and most appliance dealers will haul away your old appliance for recycling at no charge. Clothes Dryer Vents: Even if you’ve become an empty nester, the clothes dryer vent should be cleaned out every few years and more frequently with a larger household. Your clothes will dry much faster with a clean vent, a lint-filled vent can become a fire hazard and less drying time equals a lower utility bill. Weather Stripping: If you can see

Survey finds 74% of homeowners haven’t refinanced despite low mortgage rates By Jeff Ostrowski and Bill McGuire Bankrate.com Many American homeowners are passing up a prime opportunity to lower their interest rates and cut their monthly payments by refinancing their loans, according to a new Bankrate survey. While the savviest homeowners already refinanced — and some have even done so twice — millions more have yet to take advantage of mortgage rates that once would have seemed unthinkably low. Among homeowners with a mortgage they’ve had since before the pandemic, 74% have not refinanced, according to the survey. “The overwhelming majority of mortgage borrowers have not yet refinanced, despite record-low rates over the past year,” says Greg McBride, CFA, Bankrate chief financial analyst. “Cutting the monthly mortgage payment by $150 or $250, possibly more, can create valuable breathing room in the household budget at a time when so many other costs are on the rise.” The most common reasons homeowners say they haven’t refinanced Among homeowners who haven’t refinanced, the most-cited reason was that they wouldn’t save enough money to warrant a refi. That choice was named by 32% of respondents. “You may want to rethink that,” McBride says. “Today’s rates are at levels unseen prior to last year.” To illustrate one example, if you have a 30-year loan for $300,000 at 4%, your monthly payment is $1,432. Refinancing to 3% would cut it to $1,265, a savings of $167 a month or $2,004 a year. You can use Bankrate’s refinance calculator to see if refinancing will save you money. Closing costs and fees are the second most-frequently cited objection. Fully 27% of respondents named that as an obstacle. It’s true — closing costs can cost you thousands of dollars, typically 3 to 5 percent of the amount of the loan. However, if you

can cut your rate significantly, you’ll recoup those closing costs. Another common objection is that refinancing requires too much paperwork, a hurdle cited by 23% of those who have yet to refinance. “Isn’t saving $30,000 over the next decade worth devoting a few hours of your time?” McBride asks. Some 14% of those who haven’t refinanced said they plan to move or pay off the loan soon. That’s a valid reason not to refinance because it can take years to pay off closing costs, so refinancing is best for homeowners who plan to keep their new mortgages for years. And 12% said their credit scores were too low to refinance. That could be another credible reason not to refinance — most mortgage borrowers in 2021 have higher credit scores. On-time mortgage payments are one of the best ways to boost your credit score, so make sure you’re paying your loan promptly. Whatever your reason for not refinancing, you should take a closer look, McBride says. “The most-cited reasons for not refinancing might not hold up in this environment of ultra-low rates,” he says. If you’re concerned about dipping into cash to pay closing costs, consider rolling those costs into the balance of the loan (known as a no-closing-cost mortgage), McBride says. More than a third of homeowners don’t know their mortgage rate Some 38% of homeowners with a mortgage don’t know their interest rate, including 54% of millennials. Those who do know their mortgage rate reported a median rate of 3.57%, and an average of 4.57%. Both of those levels are well above current rates, meaning homeowners can reap significant savings with a refi. In separate research, mortgage data firm Black Knight

says 15 million American homeowners are in position to save by refinancing. Tracking down the rate on your mortgage should be a simple matter of checking your monthly statement or contacting your mortgage servicer. If you’re among the homeowners who don’t know your mortgage rate, getting the answer should be your first step. You’ll need to know your current rate to understand whether you’ll benefit from refinancing at current rates. Refinance trends vary by generation and income Some 28% of millennials (Americans aged 25 to 40) have refinanced, compared with just 17% of Gen X (ages 41 to 56) and 17% of baby boomers (ages 57 to 75). Baby boomers are more likely to feel refinancing wouldn’t save them enough money (37%, compared with 29% for Gen X and 21% for millennials). Gen Xers are most likely to point to fees and closing costs as an obstacle to refinancing (34 percent, compared to 27% of baby boomers and 20% of millennials). Homeowners with household income over $50,000 are nearly twice as likely to have refinanced (24% have done so) compared with homeowners with household income of less than $50,000 (just 13%). The most popular reasons to tap home equity Bankrate also asked homeowners with a mortgage what they view as good reasons to tap into their home equity. Home improvements or repairs led the way, named by 60% of respondents, followed by debt consolidation, cited by 44%. Homeowners could cite more than one reason. Other reasons cited less frequently include: keeping up with regular household bills (19%), paying tuition or other education expenses (19%), other investments (16%) and taking a vacation (7%). How to refinance your mortgage Step 1: Set a clear goal. Have a compelling reason to refinance. It could be cutting your monthly payment, shortening the term of your loan or pulling out equity for home repairs or to repay higher-interest debt. You
SANTA BARBARA NEWS-PRESS REAL ESTATE
may also want to roll your HELOC into a refi. Step 2: Check your credit score. You’ll need to qualify for a refinance just as you needed to get approval for your original home loan. The higher your credit score, the better refinance rates lenders will offer you — and the better your chances of underwriters approving your loan. Step 3: Determine how much home equity you have. Your home equity is the value of your home in excess of what you owe your mortgage lender. To find that figure, check your mortgage statement to see your current balance. Then, check online home search sites or get a real estate agent to run an analysis to find the current estimated value of your home. Your home equity is the difference between the two. For example, if you owe $250,000 on your home, and its value is $325,000, your home equity totals $75,000. Step 4: Shop multiple mortgage lenders. Getting quotes from multiple mortgage lenders can save you thousands. Once you’ve chosen a lender, discuss when it’s best to lock in your rate so you won’t have to worry about rates climbing before your loan closes. Step 5: Get your paperwork in order. Gather recent pay stubs, federal tax returns, bank statements and anything else your mortgage lender requests. Your lender will also look at your credit and net worth, so disclose your assets and liabilities upfront. Methodology Bankrate.com commissioned YouGov Plc to conduct the survey. All figures, unless otherwise stated, are from YouGov Plc. Total sample size was 3,657 adults, including 1,041 with a mortgage. Fieldwork was undertaken from July 26-29, 2021. The survey was carried out online and meets rigorous quality standards. It employed a non-probability-based sample using both quotas upfront during collection and then a weighting scheme on the back end designed and proven to provide nationally representative results.

If you are looking for a modern and minimal look, consider black-and-white or even all-white artwork. • Frame posters, postcards, small prints, or even wrapping paper for colorful art solutions for a children’s room or bathroom. • Go frameless. Frameless or gallery wrapped artwork is an affordable alternative. • Go DIY. Making your own art can be both affordable and fun.

On Gardening:
e Z b e r r a s u L a n s d Dark K e e r T w a P i w tes a P By Norman Winter Callaway Gardens is famous for a lot of things in the world of nature and certainly, the Cecil B. Day Butterfly Center is among the best in the country. It’s the place to give you a glimpse into the butterflies of Central America and the Tropics. Outside the Center, however, is where I like to hang out where you see what can happen at your home. In other words, build and they will come. After having been the Director of the National Butterfly Center in Mission, Texas my vision of nature was transformed as I could see more clearly the importance certain plants played in the sustainability of pollinators. I would urge you as a gardener, a homeschool teacher, or a science teacher looking to add more zip to your STEM requirements to visit your local public garden during butterfly season. But a couple of days ago my walk around the Center at Callaway Gardens gave me a glimpse back into one of the most beautiful native butterflies in the Eastern United States, the Zebra swallowtail. Twenty years ago, I filmed it for Southern Gardening TV with Mississippi State University and had since begun to think I might never see it again. The Zebra swallowtail is not endangered, but like the Monarch, it too has a pretty rigid diet for the caterpillar stage, and that is the Paw Paw. In other words, no Paw Paw leaves, no Zebra swallowtails. Fortunately, there are several species in the wild with the one known botanically as Asminia triloba having the widest range. As a kid growing up in Abilene, Texas I sang the song “Picking up Paw Paws” like you probably did. We bent over, probably an exercise, and put them in our pocket. No one knew what a Paw Paw was and most likely neither did the teacher. That day filming the Zebra swallowtail for TV I learned personally as I ate my first Paw Paw. Holy wow how great the taste and the fragrance from the cutopen fruit was an olfactory extravaganza, reminding me of a combination of all Caribbean fruit. Incredibly though, this was a native. True the Paw Paw is our country’s largest native edible fruit. George Washington treasured the chilled fruit and my guess is, you will, too if you ever get to experience it. The Paw Paw belongs in the Annonaceae or Custard apple family. There are a lot of these fruits in the tropics, along with the handful of species in the United States. So, this day in Callaway where I am reeling off photos by the hundreds there it was the Zebra swallowtail flying around, supping on lantana, about 30 feet away there it was a 10-foot tall Paw Paw tree. Build it and they will come. When I got home and was looking at the photos, admiring how beautiful this butterfly was, I remembered a rare butterfly that showed up at the National Butterfly Center that looked very similar. The butterfly took everyone’s breath away, it was the Dark Kite. The butterfly much more prevalent in Mexico and South America was indeed related to the Zebra and has to have this same family of Custard Apple to survive. The species of Paw Paw, Asminia triloba, is native from East Texas to Florida and along a line from Nebraska east to New York. This is great news for gardeners who want to plant a tree, to do so will allow you to teach your children and grandchildren about our heritage, eat some tropically delicious fruit and relish in the exotic beauty of perhaps our most stunning butterfly.

Outdoor Add-Ons Can Up Your Summer Fun
Outdoor spas can serve as a welcomed outdoor amenity. Photos courtesy Design Recipes
The use of the color green helps soften an outdoor space.
By Cathy Hobbs Whether you have a sprawling backyard, patio or just a small balcony, outdoor space is a premium. So why not make the most of it? When it comes to outdoor enjoyment, here are some general tips to keep in mind. BACKYARDS Backyards should not be overly cluttered. If you have sizeable land, why not allow room to enjoy it? In many instances, one of the best uses of an open and spacious backyard is to create different areas, such as a opportunity for gardening, children’s play or outdoor cooking. The key is to not overbuild and still allow space for games and relaxation.
Firepits are a popular addition in outdoor entertaining.
PATIOS Patios or decks are often perfect spaces for outdoor dining and entertainment. A great use may be an outdoor kitchen or barbecue area. When setting up an outdoor eating or dining space, one rule of thumb is to allow enough room for both your family and if possible, two to four additional guests. BALCONIES AND TERRACES Just because you have a small outdoor space or live in an urban environment doesn’t mean you can’t get the most of your outdoor space. One of the best and most efficient ways to achieve this is to divide your outdoor space into clear and distinct zones, like an entertaining zone, lounge zone and a dining zone. ADDITIONAL OUTDOOR SPACES If you have additional outdoor space in which to build, you may want to consider adding in some enhanced amenities like fire pits, spas, gardens and pools.

How to find inspiration for your Home decor ideas By Cathy Hobbs
Tribune News Service
W
hether it’s in nature, pages of a magazine, a friend’s home, hotel or designer show house, design inspiration is wherever you find it. Recently, more than 60 top designers met at the Metropolitan Pavilion in New York to create one-of-a-kind vignettes to benefit charity. The annual event is called Design On A Dime and is sponsored through Housing Works. All items are for sale and proceeds benefit those affected by homelessness, HIV and AIDS. Show houses are held in various forms throughout the country and are a wonderful way to be inspired for ideas for your own home. Other sources of inspiration include retail stores, restaurants, magazines, showrooms and even nature.
A bold, dramatic piece of art serves as an inspirational springboard for a creative color palette. Photos courtsey Design Recipes
OTHER WAYS TO FIND INSPIRATION
Often we ignore what is right in front of us. Whether it is a pretty flower, display or well designed public space, the reality is you can find inspiration virtually anywhere. Many designers travel with sketch books to always document great design. Along similar lines, many designers also photograph any design element they find interesting. This isn’t for the purpose of imitating, but being inspired. Look for interesting color combinations, textures and interesting use of design.

Saving Energy daylight around an exterior door when closed you can seal up this gap with inexpensive weather stripping found at any hardware store. A drafty door lets in cold air in the winter months and hot air in the summer and even a small gap under the door will let mice come and go as they please. Most types of weather stripping are easy to install, inexpensive to buy, and will quickly pay back in reduced heating and cooling bills. Dripping Faucets: Much like Chinese water torture a dripping faucet can give you heart failure when your water bill arrives in the mail, and a dripping hot water faucet can keep your water heater working on overtime. Most drips can be fixed with a new rubber washer or a
new valve cartridge, but sometimes they can signal the end of the road for an older faucet which can usually be replaced with a new model for about $125 or less for the budget conscious homeowner. Attic Insulation: Many of the older homes found in Santa Barbara have no attic insulation and the attic heats up the house in the summer and cools down the house in the winter while your furnace races to keep up. Probably the most common attic insulation are the rolls of thick pink fiberglass batting that are easily installed and is like covering your house with a big fluffy pink down comforter.

Augusta Lavender Heliotrope tops must-have plant list for 2022 By Norman Winter If someone had told me that there was a heliotrope that could hang with a lantana over a long hot and wet summer, I would have said sure, when pigs fly. Well, clear Runway One because Augusta Lavender is arriving for spring 2022. I am writing this as much for the greenhouse grower as the home gardener; this plant is a winner and put it in production plans ASAP. As a gardener in the South, it has been a dream to have a heliotrope that could perform over a long hot summer and not disappear by June 15. When it was suggested that I put these in The Garden Guy’s trial, I quickly responded that heliotropes were basically losers in the South. You know: too hot, too humid and every heliotrope I had ever tried perished as if it encountered a flame thrower. Augusta Lavender is like none you have ever tried. I’ll happily go with the name lavender, but to be honest, blue or sky blue would have worked too. But this isn’t the only color you will see as each little floret has a center that is orange to deep yellow. You’ve got your own complementary color scheme in each flower. There is a good chance you aren’t familiar with heliotropes. Botanically speaking they are in the borage or forget-me-not family and if you looked at the long list of genera or family members, I doubt all but the ardent botanist could recognize more than five. But don’t let that throw you, I assure you this will be a new plant for your pollinator arsenal. If visiting pollinators don’t float your boat then just look at it as a great lavender plant that reaches 24-inches tall with a 36-inch spread. It kind of looks like a lantana and is tough-as-nails so you can go golf while the nerds like me are shooting photos and shouting the names of butterflies we see feeding on the blossoms. Like I tend to do, I simply went with color partnerships with my trial plants. Don’t forget I was expecting them to die. I planted Augusta Lavender with Color Coded Orange You Awesome echinacea and Luscious Marmalade lantana in another area that was close. They were also combined with Vermillionaire cuphea. You can see how in my eyes I was seeing the blue hues in the lavender. I’ll admit I could not have picked better combos from my standpoint.

The treasured Pipevine Swallowtail has found the Augusta Lavender heliotrope to be just perfect. The Eastern Tiger Swallowtail is just one of several species of butterflies that will visit the Augusta Lavender heliotrope.
Augusta Lavender is a new heliotrope making its debut in 2022. It reaches 24inches tall with a 36-inch spread. Each floret has an orange-yellow center.
Tiny butterflies like this male Whirlabout feast continually on the Augusta Lavender heliotrope.

Young’s Plant Farms in Auburn, Alabama, also had some beautiful combinations in their 2021 Annual Trial Garden Tour. They used August Lavender, Truffula Pink gomphrena and the new 2022 Luscious Citron lantana. Then they went vertical with the white climbing Thunbergia Coconut A Peel. This look was picture-perfect too. Augusta Lavender heliotrope, a hybrid with South American DNA has been everything I could have wanted. It is expected to be an annual north of zone 9 meaning it should not return in my zone 8a garden. You can bet I’ll be watching and if indeed it doesn’t return, you can bet I’ll be replanting in the spring. Everyone needs Augusta Lavender. It has continually brought in a variety of bees, skipper butterflies and the big boys too like Eastern Tiger Swallowtails, and the treasured Pipevine Swallowtails. You’ll have to take my word on it, hummingbirds have paid regular visits too. I hinted at this above, but this is such a great plant you may want to alert your hometown garden center now that you’ll be looking for it in the spring. They may not know about Augusta Lavender heliotrope and your request may help. Next year looks so exciting and a great time to be a gardener.
