MESSAGE FROM THE

GENERAL MANAGER This month’s magazine includes the 2018 Annual Report, a high-level graphical overview of the 2018 audited results and accomplishments. Core to reviewing the Audit Report is understanding how Tahoe Donner is organized and how it operates as both a California Mutual Benefit Corporation and a Federal IRS 501c4 Social Welfare organization, and of course, how it functions as a Large Scale Common Interest Development.

Mutual Benefit Corporations are organized as nonprofits for the mutual benefit of their members and to advance a common goal, as currently expressed in our strategic plan vision statement: Tahoe Donner is a vibrant and desirable mountain community, providing attractive and well-maintained facilities, events, programs and leading customer service to its members, guests and public, all while maintaining accessible and healthy natural surroundings.

With one official class of voting/ownership membership (6,473 property owners) in Tahoe Donner, the community also values the broader inclusion of approximately 25,000 ownership-connected members.

Tahoe Donner is also officially organized, recognized and operates as an IRS 501c4 Social Welfare organization to promote social welfare for the common good of the community. "Social Welfare" is an inherently complex concept with many interpretations of the community benefiting from this status, but the defined tax structure is a great benefit to the membership and the corporation. So, as you review the Annual Report and individual performance of our amenities and support departments, think about our membership-based mutual benefit and the common good of our community and know that your board of directors, management team and volunteer committees are all working to deliver meaningful results to achieve our common vision.

Finally, I want to express my gratitude to all of our members, board members, employee team members, volunteers and community partners for all you do. Our partnerships and effectiveness in this great community of Tahoe Donner continues to grow.

THE

BUZZ CLUBS: TD 4 WHEELERS CLUB

We busted out of the snow for a run to the old Red Dog and You Bet mining sites near the Bear River when we ran across some gates closing the road.

While in discussion with a Nevada Irrigation District technician, we learned that the Bear River area at Secret Town Road had to be closed because people were dumping items, shooting and making a mess – very disappointing that humans would treat such a beautiful area so disrespectfully.

We drove down to the Greenhorn Creek Ford, but it was so washed out that the road was nowhere to be seen, so we backtracked to Chalk Bluff Road and ventured up the muddy route. We could have continued up to Highway 20, but we knew that snow blocked that end of the road. We turned around and stopped at the old You Bet Cemetery before heading back to Truckee for a great dinner at The Lodge Restaurant & Pub in Tahoe Donner.

However, you can still walk the bridge and river area, and it is worth the stop.

We detoured to Highway 174 to You Bet Road and headed up to the Red Dog overlook for lunch.

We continued on through the former town site and we were glad to be part of a large convoy as the theme song from “Deliverance” kept playing in our heads.

Dennis Austin narrated the history as we passed the significant sites.

If you enjoy exploring, consider joining us on our next adventure. Check out the club's schedule online at TD4wheelers.org.

SENIOR ALPINE SKI CLUB

JUNIOR GOLF CLUB Summer is just about here! Tahoe Donner Junior Golf Club invites you to join us for fun and skill development.

We meet and play every Thursday at 2PM on the practice green - please stay tuned for our starting date. The first hour is spent working on putting and chipping skills through clinics and games. Then we head out and play the course in foursomes. We provide adult chaperones for younger players.

Snacks and water are provided while on the course, and greens fees are offered at a special discount for TD Junior Golf Club members.

We always need adult volunteers to join us on the course as chaperones.

You do not need to know golf; your purpose is to ensure the kids are playing safely. It is really fun to watch the young players improve.

Our first golf day is scheduled for June 20, weather permitting. The free Ice Cream Social, our first special event, is scheduled for July 11. Come build your own sundae before you head out and play the course. The Annual Club Championship will be our final club event, to be held August 8. All participants will be divided into flights and compete with other players of comparable skill level. While there is some competition, this is an event mainly for fun — every player gets a prize.

Membership applications are available in the Pro Shop. Questions? Call the Pro Shop at (530) 587-9440, #3 or contact Russ and Jean Lai at (530) 582-0673 or rslai@comcast.net after June 1.

As March ended, winter really did not, and neither did the club ski days at local ski areas. Although we cut back to one club ski day a week from two days a week during the regular season, club members continue to enjoy skiing together over the extended ski season. If the weather continues to improve (more sun, fewer storms) and the ski area snowpack and season permits, we hope to schedule club ski days in May and perhaps celebrate the Fourth of July on a ski slope.

In any event, the end of skiing will not mean the end of club activities. After a brief ‘tween season hiatus, the club will have its usual slate of summer/fall outings and gatherings, including but not necessarily limited to, the always popular August member and recruits BBQ, fall ski fitness classes, and the soon-to-start-skiing potluck.

Please visit our club website at tdski.com for club information and full dates and details on upcoming club events. If you would like to join the club, contact one of the board members listed on the website. The club is always looking to add more folks who enjoy downhill skiing and want to make new friends.

Applications are available online at tahoedonnertennisclub.com or at the Tennis Center Pro Shop.

Michele (Mickey) Forsberg, minkeysf@sbcglobal.net.

We have a great group of golfers signed up to play this year! Thanks to an excellent response to our March membership drive, our roster is full for 2019. Our first event will be the kick-off breakfast on May 23 at The Lodge Restaurant & Pub, followed by a round at Ponderosa Golf Course, conditions permitting.

During the off-season, we stayed in touch at social events such as our Bread-Making Lesson/Luncheon. At this fun gathering, guests learned a method for making sourdough bread and took home a batch of dough and a starter. Reports are, the loaves were delicious, and the company was delightful!

For questions about our club, please contact club president, Shellie Poplin, at shelliepoplin@gmail.com.

MEN'S GOLF CLUB QUILT CLUB This colorful, fun baby quilt was made by Emily Desfor for the Child Advocates of Nevada County’s Truckee Healthy Babies program.

Our Quilt Club has been making baby quilts since 2015 and the total quilts made so far exceeds 340. To learn more about the Healthy Babies program, visit caofnc.org.

TD TENNIS CLUB Tennis anyone? Even if you’re not an avid tennis player, you should still consider joining the Tahoe Donner Tennis Club. We hold social events, competitive formats and provide fun activities for all levels of play. We also provide a roster with contact information to use for leveled singles or doubles play.

WOMEN'S 9-HOLERS GOLF CLUB

In addition to the baby quilts, we make placemats for our local Meals on Wheels, bibs and fidget quilts for long-term care patients, walker totes and pillows for our Cancer Center.

Come check us out. We meet in the Meadow Room at Northwoods Clubhouse on the first and third Wednesday from 1-3PM. For more information contact Marilyn Dundas at md11792@outlook.com.

The Tahoe Donner Men’s Golf Club (TDMGC) is kicking off the season on Sunday, May 26 at 4PM with a social event, in conjunction with the women’s clubs, to welcome everyone back for the 2019 golf season. All current or prospective members of any of the golf clubs are invited to come by for refreshments and to learn more about summer golf events.

The men’s club has something for everyone, from low-handicap competitive golfers to those just looking for fun in a low-key friendly environment. All events use the USGA handicap system to provide equitable competition for all levels of golfers, and several have flights, so you can play against others of similar ability. Visit the tdgolfclub.com for a list of the club's tournaments and informal events.

Our first tournament of the summer is the Icebreaker, set for a 12PM shotgun start on Sunday, June 9. This is a friendly 4-man shamble meant to help new and continuing members get acquainted, so come help us start the season with this fun event.

All rates are Compounded Annual Growth Rates. Consumer Price Index (CPI) is the Federal agency Bureau of Labor Statistics CPI-U San Francisco/Oakland/Hayward as measured to December 2018. Annual Assessment (AA) is for regular AA, chart excludes 2003 Special Assessment of $1,383 per owner for Capital Improvements.

The above chart provides clarity regarding the growth of your Annual Assessment, an often-discussed topic amongst owners, over various timeframes, as some owners are relatively new to Tahoe Donner and some have owned for a decade(s). The association was established in 1971 and is now only two years away from our 50th birthday. With over $80 million in gross fixed assets and over $42 million in after depreciation net fixed assets, your association is capital intensive and not getting any younger. Another factor driving growth is the shift from undeveloped lots to improved lots or ‘build-out’ over the past 30 years, moving from 50% build-out to 90% currently.

Your association is in the strongest financial position ever, with $60 million in total members equity or $9,241 per owner (up 5% from last year) and $15.8 million in capital savings members equity (up 12% to 2017).

Key budget assumptions impacting 2018 included holding the annual assessment total flat for a 3rd consecutive year. Our investment in Downhill Ski snowmaking proved vital to both the 1st quarter of 2018 and December 2018 financial performance. The year’s positive operating results to budget produced a favorable surplus of member equity funds which allowed for a $500,000 transfer out of the operating fund to capital funds to address our aging infrastructure needs.

Several long planned-for capital improvements were completed in 2018, greatly improving both the common facilities and near-term planning efforts to inform future capital reinvestment decisions. Key improvements included the replacement of the outdated 40-year-old Snowbird Chairlift.

The 2018 Annual Report starting on the next page contains a wealth of information regarding the financial performance of your association.

Reading it can be informative and even enlightening!

The 2019 Budget year is well underway, and despite a record snowfall month in February, financial performance has exceeded budget favorably. 2019’s strategic goals include short-term rental registration, covenants compliance enforcement and fire defensible space projects; all to further deliver on Tahoe Donner’s Mission and Vision moving forward.

The Association employs a high percentage of seasonal customer service, entry level positions to operate the various amenities of the Association.

There is a high volatility of work-force every season, and within seasons, based on numerous factors, particularly weather and business volumes.

(1) California Minimum Wage; 2014 change effective 7/1, 2019 increased to $12.00 and 2020 increases to $13.00.

(2) The Federal Affordable Care Act of 2010, impacted the Association starting in 2016, created a Federally regulated determination of those employees categorized as 'Full Time' and mandated to be offered health insurance.

• The Replacement Reserve Fund portion has been deliberately increased over time to improve the reserve funding level of our over-45-year-old association.

Underfunding reserves is considered the bain of many associations across the country.

We adopted a reserves funding policy and recent boards have adhered to this policy. Your association's reserves are now in a much stronger financial position to handle the replacement and major maintenance needs of the association's assets.

DEVELOPMENT

Operating Fund Portion of Annual Assessment • The Operating Fund portion was held flat for four years (2009-2012), with strong visitation and revenue growth and no droughts.

• The Operating Fund portion increased from the 2013-2016 era due to the combined pressures of winter drought’s impact on operating revenue expectations and payroll cost increases due to California minimum wage increases and the Federal Affordable Care Act impacts.

• The Development Fund portion was held at $250 for six years (2011-2016) and we are now increasing to recognize the known future funding requirements. This funding is for eventual building replacements due to functional obsolescence and for new facilities or other new major projects due to the changing needs of membership.

• For 2017, 2018 and 2019, the Operating Fund portion was decreased due to favorable revenue trends, our snowmaking investment, price increases, as well as a favorable decrease in workers compensation costs, all favorably offsetting the California minimum wage increases.

• More historical information on Capital Funds, see pages 10-11.

• More historical information on the Operating Fund, see page 4.

Costs are greater than Revenues (every year) and the Costs have grown at a slightly lower growth rate. Therefore, the resulting NOR Loss growth rate is lower than both Revenue and Costs growth rate.

FOR 2019 BUDGET The strong financial performance in 2016, 2017 and 2018 combined for a substantial

2017

increase in operating revenue expectations for the 2019 Budget. (The 2017 Budget was $11.0 million, the 2018 Budget was $12.5 million and the 2019 Budget is $14.1 million).

This is due in large part to the snowmaking investment at Downhill Ski Resort, which favorably reduces the operating fund.

• The Replacement Reserve Fund is the capital reserve fund for existing asset components of the Association. This is a savings fund utilized to replace and preserve assets of the Association as they depreciate over time. There are over 2,000 components in the reserve study, which is updated every year, and a complete physical inspection of all components is performed every three years.

• The Association has a Replacement Reserve Fund policy which provides for a target minimum of 25% funded.* • The reserve study does not include the replacement of existing buildings, see Development Fund below.

• The funding level from the annual assessment generally needs to increase each year to keep pace with inflation.

• The Association has a fiduciary duty to adequately reserve for the preservation of assets, which ultimately protects property values.

• The board of directors approved $1,500,000 (2017) and $500,000 (2018) transfers from Operating Fund members’ equity to this fund.

• The 2018 assessment funding level was $620 per owner or $4,013,000, an increase of 4% over 2017.

• The 2019 assessment funding level was $720 per owner or $4,661,000, an increase of 16% over 2018.

*Percent (%) Funded is the measure of the fund balance to the Fully Funded – 100% funded reserve study amount. The Fully Funded – 100% balance is total accrued depreciation.

An indicator against which actual (or projected) reserve balance can be compared. The direct proportion of the fraction of life “used up” of the current repair or replacement cost.

This number is calculated for each component and summed together for the Association in total. Refer to the 2019 Budget Report for more information on the reserve study.

Ten-year total spend of $46.0 million equates to an average of $4.6 million in capital fund expenditures per year. The 10-year average of depreciation expense is $2.6 million per year for a total of $26 million. Note that many high-age assets are fully depreciated and now have no annual depreciation expense. The net effect is a growth in net fixed assets; over the 10 years the CAGR of 4.2% in net fixed assets.

Net fixed assets grew from $28 million at the end of 2008 to $42 million at the end of 2018. Bottom line – reinvesting in the assocation, the net fixed assets value grew at a 4.2% growth rate.

This, as opposed to limited or less capital spend, would have equated to flat or a decline in net fixed assets.

The variance between Actual and Budget capital expenditures is primarily driven by the timing of projects between years.

The Board has a fiduciary responsibility (by law) to do what is best for the Association both now and for the future.

Current owners have the responsibility to pay for the deprecation of Association assets, not defer the burden to future owners. Properly maintaining our assets protects owners' property values.

| TAHOE DONNER 2018 ANNUAL REPORT

STATEMENT OF LEGAL COMPLIANCE A number of state laws and provisions of its own Governing Documents dictate how Tahoe Donner Association is to manage its financial affairs. Financial reporting, what books and records are to be maintained, how operating and capital needs are determined and funded, how budgets are established, and how member assessments are determined and collected are generally the areas regulated in the financial arena. These regulations can be found in the Association’s Covenants and Restrictions (“C&Rs”) and Bylaws, as well as the Civil Code and the Corporations Code. After a review of these regulations and our practices, the Association Counsel has determined that the Association is in substantial compliance with these requirements.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT An independent auditor’s report, prepared by Gilbert Associates, and associated financial statements are on pages 15–23 of this Annual Report.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT BOARD OF DIRECTORS TAHOE DONNER ASSOCIATION TRUCKEE, CALIFORNIA We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Tahoe Donner Association (Association), which comprise the statements of financial position as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the related statements of revenues, expenses and changes in members’ equity, and of cash flows for the years then ended.

MANAGEMENT’S RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

AUDITOR’S RESPONSIBILITY Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.

The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the Association’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

OPINION In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Tahoe Donner Association as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the changes in its members’ equity and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

OTHER MATTERS Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the information on future major repairs and replacements on page 23 be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by generally accepted accounting principles, which considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management's responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1

OPERATIONS

Tahoe Donner Association (Association) is a California nonprofit mutual benefit corporation. The Association’s members own the 6,473 membership properties within the Tahoe Donner subdivision in Truckee, California. The Association was organized to provide management services and maintenance of certain common areas owned by the Association. A significant portion of revenue is derived from the assessment of member dues.

The Association operates and maintains facilities, which include a golf course and pro shop, restaurant, downhill ski area, clubhouse, Nordic ski area, beach and marina area, equestrian center, campground, tennis facilities, recreation complex, pools and parks.

2

Revenues are derived from member and non-member usage of these facilities.

The Association’s Board of Directors is comprised of five members elected to serve three-year terms by a vote of the members. The board of directors governs in accordance with the Association’s bylaws and declaration of covenants and restrictions. The board of directors establishes members’ dues and user fees, and has the ability to enter into long-term contracts. Along with other actions, closing an Association amenity (as defined by the governing documents) requires a vote of the members.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF PRESENTATION – The Association’s governing documents provide certain guidelines for governing its financial activities. To ensure observance of limitations and restrictions on the use of financial resources, the Association maintains its accounts using fund accounting. Financial resources are classified for accounting and reporting purposes in the following funds established according to their nature and purpose:

ACCESS AND USE FEE REVENUES – Daily fees are charged for access to and use of Association amenities. As an alternate to daily fees, the Association sells recreation passes to members that entitle them to use of various amenities. Revenues from these sales are allocated to the various amenities based upon recreation pass usage.

OPERATING FUND – Used to account for financial resources available for the general operations of the Association.

The Association minimizes credit risk associated with cash by periodically evaluating the credit quality of its primary financial institution. The balance at times may exceed federally insured limits. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, cash balances exceeded federally insured limits by approximately $825,000 and $548,000, respectively. The Association has not experienced any losses in such accounts and management believes the Association is not exposed to any significant credit risk related to cash.

REPLACEMENT RESERVE FUND – Used to account for financial resources designated for the repair, restoration, replacement or maintenance of, or litigation involving repair, restoration, replacement or maintenance of, major components which the Association is obligated to repair, restore, replace or maintain and for which the replacement reserve fund was established.

CASH consists of cash on hand, demand deposits at banks and money market funds.

NEW EQUIPMENT FUND – Used to account for financial resources designated for the purchase of new machinery, equipment, furnishings and fixtures.

INVESTMENTS consist of debt securities and certificates of deposits, which are carried at amortized cost as the Association has the positive intent and ability to hold all debt securities and certificates of deposit until maturity.

DEVELOPMENT FUND – Used to account for financial resources designated for use in the acquisition and enhancement of facilities, equipment and other resources.

INVENTORIES consist of food and retail goods and are stated at the lower of average cost or market.

PROPERTY FUND – Used to account for the Association’s investment in its common property and equipment, and other Association real property.

ASSESSMENT REVENUE – Association members are subject to annual dues to provide funds for the Association’s operating expenses, major repairs and replacements, development and purchase of new equipment. Assessment revenue is recognized in the assessment period. Assessments received in advance are deferred until earned. The Association has the right to suspend certain membership rights and pursue collection through foreclosure action. Bad debts are recognized when an account’s collectability is uncertain.

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT of the Association includes certain facilities and land contributed by Dart in prior years. These assets are reflected in the accounts at the developers’ cost basis. Purchases are stated at cost. The Association capitalizes all expenditures for property and equipment in excess of $2,000. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of individual assets ranging from 3 to 60 years. These assets are recorded directly in the property fund.

Approximately 3,000 acres of undeveloped non-common area real property owned by the Association is controlled by the Association’s declaration of covenants and restrictions, and bylaws.

INTEREST INCOME is allocated to the operating, replacement and (Continued on next page)

USE OF ESTIMATES – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures.

Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS have been evaluated through March 15, 2019, the date the financial statements were issued. Management concluded that no material subsequent events have occurred since December 31, 2018 that require recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

Designated funds in the development fund are controlled by board-adopted policy that affords the board discretion in expenditure, except where member approval is required in connection with the intended project.

Since the Association has the positive intent and ability to hold investments until maturity, they are carried at amortized costs determined by specific identification. Unrecognized holding gains and losses are deemed immaterial.

DEPOSITS FROM MEMBERS

The deposits held by the Association are primarily security deposits from members for the construction of residential real property. The deposits are used to ensure that construction is completed in accordance with the guidelines established by the Association’s Architectural Standards Committee. The funds are deposited in a separate trust account and are refundable upon satisfactory completion of construction.

6

REPLACEMENT RESERVE FUND

The Association’s policy is to maintain replacement funding levels sufficient to pay for capital replacements, refurbishments and repairs.

Replacement funding levels, as determined by a study updated in 2018, are forecast on a 30-year basis with annual updates to replacement schedules, as they become known. Actual expenditures, however, may vary from the estimated amounts and the variations may be material.

If additional funds are needed, the Association has the right, subject to any necessary member approval, to increase regular dues, to levy special assessments, or modify and adjust the scheduled major repairs and replacements as necessary.

7

RETIREMENT PLANS

The Association maintains a salary savings plan for all eligible employees. The Association matches 50% of the first 6% of the participant’s contribution. Matching contributions are 20% vested after the third year of service and vest at the rate of 20% per year thereafter. Matching contributions expense was $95,180 and $88,685 for 2018 and 2017, respectively.

The Association maintains two defined contribution plans which qualify under Section 457(b) and Section 457(f) of the Internal Revenue Code, respectively (the 457 Plans). The 457 Plans allow for additional Association contributions and salary deferrals subject to limitations for eligible executive employees. Contributions to the 457 Plans funds are considered deferred compensation until certain future date conditions are met. The Association’s contribution to the 457 Plans was $56,307 and $54,894 for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

OPERATING LEASE OBLIGATIONS

The Association has non-cancelable operating leases for copiers, land usage and computer equipment. Rental expense under all operating leases was $93,000 and $116,709 for 2018 and 2017, respectively. Future minimum lease payments under these leases are as follows:

REQUIRED SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION ON FUTURE MAJOR REPAIRS AND REPLACEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2018 (UNAUDITED) In accordance with state law and sound business practices it is the policy of the Association to fund a reserve program that will adequately provide for repair and replacement of existing Association-owned assets. A 30-year reserve funding and expenditure plan is produced every three years, and updated annually, to schedule and analyze the funding needs. The Association updated its study in 2018 to estimate the remaining useful lives, the lives after replacement and the replacement costs of the components of common property. The estimates were based on estimates from consultants, management, contractors and historical costs. Estimated current replacement costs take into account the effects of inflation between the date of the study and the date that the components will require repair or replacement.

The Association does not designate the balance in the replacement reserve fund by component. The total available for major repairs and replacements at December 31, 2018, was $10,400,000. The 2019 lot assessments include $4,661,000 to be allocated to the replacement fund.

The Association has not included the replacement of building structures as a component of the replacement study. These structures generally have an estimated useful life greater than 30 years. The Association is accumulating funds in the Development Fund for building replacement.

The following table is based on the study and presents significant information about the components of common property for which funds are being set aside.

45-DAY NOTICE PROPOSED NEW + AMENDMENTS TO COVENANTS PRIVATE PROPERTY RULES: FIRE SAFETY AND FOREST HEALTH Pursuant to Tahoe Donner Covenants and Restrictions Article III, Section 7, modifications to and proposed new rules must go out for 45-day member notification and comment period prior to board of director consideration and approval.

Changes to the Covenants Private Property Rules: Fire Safety and Forest Health will be considered for action by the board of directors. The board of directors is expected to take action to adopt the proposed new rules and amendments, as they are presented here or with some modification, at its June board of directors meeting, currently scheduled for Friday, June 21, 2019.

The board welcomes any input you may wish to offer regarding this process.

BACKGROUND

The Covenants Committee and Forestry department completed a programmatic review of the Homeowner Defensible Space Program including the procedures, rules for minimum standards and communications provided to accomplish the mission of maintaining a healthy forest and reducing community fire hazards.

In this review, three areas of the Covenants Rules were recommended for changes to create further clarity to owners for minimum standards of fire safe conditions. These recommendations for new and amended rules provide synergy between the inspection outcomes and the minimum standard rules relating to how an owner must maintain their lot or improved lot.

Additionally, through the last 10 years of the defensible space program, the Forestry department has seen items which are either eyesores to the natural environment, including blue tarps and/or inappropriate tree removal that leaves tall stumps, which pose an invasive species threat, as well as becoming rotten and combustible units.

As such, staff and the committee are recommending amendments in the private property fire safety rules section of the Covenants Rules to regulate the color of tarps used on the lot and maximum stump height allowed.

Staff is recommending a restructuring of the section to create Fire Prevention and Safety, and Forest Health headings with new and amended rules placed under the headings. Part of this restructuring is breaking apart long paragraphs and separating them into subheaded sections. This will improve the organization of the Covenants Rule document and administrative function and efficiency.

KEY DATES: May 1, 2019: 45-Day Member Notification and Comment Period begins May 18, 2019: Board of directors meeting; hears additional member comment, discussion item only.

• Explain Tahoe Donner Association expectations of fire-safe condition maintenance on private properties.

• Restructure Fire Safety and Forest Health related rules for improved rule book organization.

EFFECT:

The effect of these proposed rules on homeowners is: • Improved fire hazard mitigation on private properties.

PROPOSED NEW + AMENDED COVENANTS PRIVATE PROPERTY RULES: FIRE SAFETY AND FOREST HEALTH The proposed changes to the Covenants Rules are as follows:

FIRE PREVENTION + SAFETY

Fire Safety. Owners of lots (both improved and unimproved) are required to be responsible for and maintain their lots (both improved and unimproved) for the maintenance of their lots in a fire-safe condition at all times. C&R Article VII, Section 2. The association will inspect lots according to an established inspection cycle and/or upon request or complaint. Insurance companies and other agency inspectors may require greater distances of defensible space New heading

around structures. Fire-safe condition includes the removal of nuisance firewood including but not limited to old, unused or decomposed wood. No campfires, bonfires, or fireworks of any kind are allowed on private lots, common areas, or other association-owned properties at any time. Commercially manufactured gas and charcoal barbeques, smokers, and commercially manufactured fire burning devices, such as outdoor fireplaces and chimineas, equipped with screening and/or spark arrestors, with a maximum screen opening of 1/8th inch, to prevent the escape of sparks and coals, and operated in compliance with the Town of Truckee and the Truckee Fire District’s safety and building codes, and according to the manufacturer’s instructions, on private property lots only, will be allowed. Property owners wanting to build their own permanent barbeques or other outdoor fire burning devices equipped with electricity or gas, must obtain the appropriate Town of Truckee building and plumbing permits and build to the Town’s building codes. The appearance design and location must be approved by the Tahoe Donner ASC if any part of the permanent structure is over 3 feet high. The burning of yard debris is allowed, only after obtaining a permit from the Truckee Fire District, on permissive burn days as determined by the Fire District, from late fall, depending on weather conditions, until no later than March 31. The first violation of these rules will result in a hearing. C&RS Article VIII, Section 1(a)(iv).

Minimum standards and requirements of fire-safe conditions are set forth: (subheadings under Fire Prevention and Safety) Vegetation Removal. No person may remove or cut, or limb any tree greater than four inches in diameter (measured three feet above the ground) without first obtaining a permit from the TDA Forestry Department. No heavy equipment may be used to remove brush without first obtaining a permit from the TDA Forestry Department. C&Rs Article VIII, Section 1(a) (xi).

Tree Limbing. Property owners may limb trees without obtaining a permit from the TDA Forestry Department subject to the following: 1. Dead limbs may be removed up to a height of 35 feet above the ground.

2. Green limbs may be removed up to a height of 15 feet above the ground.

100-foot Defensible Space around Structures.

Moving this section to new subheadings below.

New heading

Property owners of all lots are responsible to maintain a defensible space zone for a distance of 100 feet (or to their property line) from all structures, including decks.

100-foot Defensible Space from Property Lines. Property owners of all lots are responsible to maintain a defensible space zone for a distance of 100 feet from all property lines.

Roofs Free of Dead Vegetation. Property owners are responsible to maintain all roofs, of any structure, keeping them free of leaves, needles, or other dead vegetative growth.

10-foot Clearance from Chimney or Stovepipe. Property owners are responsible to remove any portion of any tree which extends within 10 feet of the outlet of any chimney or stovepipe.

Chimney must have an Approved Spark Arrestor. A spark arresting cap with 1/2-inch mesh or smaller screen is required on all chimneys.

10-foot Clearance from Propane Tank.

Property owners are responsible to remove any portion of any tree brush or dry flammable vegetation which extends within 10 feet of any propane tank.

Pine Needles on the Ground. Pine needles must be collected and removed within 10 feet of any structure or deck. On the rest of the property the pine needles will not be allowed to build up to more than 2 inches in depth.

Firewood Storage. Old, unused or decomposed (nuisance) wood must be removed. Firewood rounds cannot be stored on the property due to decomposition and invasive species infestation causing fire hazard. The wood must be split and neatly stacked. Firewood, in any form, cannot be stored on undeveloped lots.

Lumber, split and stacked firewood, and any flammable material should be stacked 30-feet from structures. Firewood can be stacked closer if covered with durable earth-toned tarp and set on gravel or other nonflammable material.

Firewood stacking within the 30-foot defensible space is not advisable.

Downed Woody Material. Downed woody material - trees, branches, limbs, shrug boles and other woody materials - between 1/2 inch and 12 inches in diameter must be removed from the property.

Dead Tree Removal. All dead trees must be removed from the property.

Brush Removal. No brush is allowed within 10 feet of any structure. In the zone within 30 feet of any structure 5-foot diameter clumps of brush are allowed if they are separated from adjacent clumps of brush by 20 feet. In the zone within 31+ feet from any structure to the property line, 10-foot diameter clumps of brush are allowed if they are separated from adjacent clumps of brush by 15 feet. No brush is allowed under or within 10 feet of the drip line of trees.

Small Tree Thinning. Individual small trees (<10 inches in diameter) may be designated by the forestry department for removal.

Lower Branch Removal. For trees greater than 15 feet in height, the lower branches will be removed 6 feet from the ground. For those less than 15 feet in height, the branches will be removed for 1/3 the height of the tree from the ground.

Dry Grass and Weeds. Within 30 feet of any structure, grass and weeds will be trimmed to a height of 6 inches or less. The cuttings must be removed.

Outdoor Fires. No campfires, bonfires or fireworks of any kind are allowed on private lots, common areas, or other association-owned properties at any time.

Commercially manufactured gas and charcoal barbeques, smokers, and commercially manufactured fire burning devices, such as outdoor fireplaces and chimineas, equipped with screening and/or spark arrestors, with a maximum screen opening of 1/8th inch, to prevent the escape of sparks and coals, and operated in compliance with the Town of Truckee and the Truckee Fire District’s safety and building codes, and according to the manufacturer’s instructions, on private property lots only, will be allowed. Property owners wanting to build their own permanent barbeques or other outdoor fire burning devices equipped with electricity or gas, must obtain the appropriate Town of Truckee building and plumbing permits and build to the Town’s building codes. The appearance, design and location must be approved by the Tahoe Donner ASC if any part of the permanent structure is over 3 feet high.

Dumping Ashen Materials. No person shall dispose of charcoal briquettes or ashen material (i.e., cigarette butts, matches, fireplace ash) of any kind on any portion of a lot., if such creates a risk of fire or an unsightly condition.

FOREST HEALTH

Forest Health. Owners of lots (both improved and unimproved) are responsible for the maintenance of their lots, including the general health of the forest. TDA maintains on its staff a state-certified forester with the responsibility of determining what conditions are conducive to the health of the forest. Owners are prohhibited from permanently attaching anything to or in trees without first obtaining written permission from the Forestry Department.

After making on-site inspections, the TDA Forester may determine that individual trees require removal, and/or that brush thinning may be required. Notice to remove such trees and/ or brush, indicating a compliance date, will be sent to owners. Failure to remove such trees and/ or brush prior to the stated compliance date will constitute a violation of the Association Rules.

Fines for such violations will accrue until the trees are removed. C&RS Article VII, Section 2; Article VIII, Sections (a) & (l).

Attachments to Trees. Owners are prohibited from permanently attaching anything to or in trees without first obtaining written permission from the Forestry Department.

C&RS Article VII, Section 2; Article VIII, Sections (a) & (l).

defense against wildfire. Creating and maintaining

ZONE 1: 30 feet of Lean, Clean & Green

defensible space around your home can dramatically increase your home's chance of surviving a wildfire and improves the safety of firefighters defending your property. 100 feet of defensible space is required by law.*

1

Remove all dead plants, grass and weeds.

2

Remove dead or dry leaves and pine needles from your yard, roof and rain gutters.

3

Keep tree branches 10 feet away from your chimney and other trees.

ZONE 2: 30–100 feet of Reduced Fuel 4

Cut or mow annual grass down to a maximum height of 4 inches.

5

Create horizontal spacing between shrubs and trees.

6

Create vertical spacing between grass, shrubs and trees.

6 FEET MIN CLEARANCE

VERTICAL SPACING Large trees do not have to be cut and removed as long as all of the plants beneath them are removed. This eliminates a vertical “fire ladder.”

30 FEET

Use Equipment Properly to Keep from Sparking a Wildfire

*For more information on creating defensible space and legal requirements visit

7

Mow before 10 a.m., and never on a hot or windy day. String trimmers are a safer option (vs. lawnmowers) for clearing vegetation.

REDUCED FUEL ZONE 70 FEET

HORIZONTAL SPACING Create horizontal and vertical spacing between plants, the amount of spacing will depend on how steep the slope is and the size of the plants.
