Once again, we are enjoying our holiday season and have much to be thankful for. I’m sure our die-hard skiers may disagree, but Mother Nature will bless us with some snow soon.

EXPLORING

DELIVERY OPTIONS

By Amanda Weavil, MD

Mothers who've delivered via C-section have expanded options for vaginal birth after Cesarean (VBAC) at Barton's Family Birthing Center

Keys Breeze

|

DECEMBER 2019

|

Barton Memorial Hospital has one of California’s lowest C-section rates and is home to Barton Family Birthing Center. This NO MATTER HOW MUCH YOU plan or research ahead of time, child birth may not go as expected. There are important choices to make and even when you have given birth before, a lot can happen in the moment.

If you previously had a baby via a C-section delivery and are having another baby, you may have the option to have another cesarean or try a vaginal birth. More women are attempting a vaginal birth after a cesarean, or VBAC, and Barton Family Birthing Center offers mothers this option in a medical environment.

The American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists recommends a VBAC as a safe and viable option for most women. Research shows that about 70 percent of women who pursue a trial of labor after a cesarean (TOLAC) have a successful vaginal birth.

There are different reasons to consider a vaginal birth after a cesarean. One benefit of a successful VBAC includes a shorter recovery period. By not undergoing abdominal surgery from a cesarean, women have a lower risk of infection and may experience less blood loss.

Blue Distinction® Center for Maternity Care is among nationally designated hospitals that show expertise in delivering improved patient safety and better health outcomes for mothers and babies.

A VBAC can be complicated and there are some risks to consider. One concern is that a vaginal birth after a cesarean could cause the uterus to tear open, or rupture, requiring an emergency C-section. There is also a 30 percent chance that a cesarean will need to take place if there is fetal distress or the labor fails to progress.

At Barton Family Birthing Center, both VBAC and a repeat C-section delivery are both available. Our experienced, boardcertified OB-GYN (obstetrician-gynecologist) physicians are here to help pregnant women explore their delivery options and determine if VBAC is the right path for them and their baby.

Amanda Weavil, MD, is a board-certified OB-GYN physician at Barton Women’s Health and Barton Community Center trained in performing VBAC deliveries.

LAKE TALLAC “NEW BUILDA

By Kirk Wooldridge, TKPOA General Manager

As approved by the TKPOA Board of Directors Adele Lucas is the listing agent with Chase International and she can be contacted at (530) 545-0888 or adele@ adelelucas.com if you have any questions regarding this listing.

Keys Breeze

ON SATURDAY AUGUST 31ST, 2019 the vote to sell Lake Tallac “New Buildable Lot” passed by TKPOA Membership Vote with 491 Votes “For” and 102 Votes “Against”, as reported in the September 2019 Keys Breeze.

Based on this Membership Vote, the Tahoe Keys Property Owners Association (TKPOA) has moved forward to sell the Lake Tallac “New Buildable Lot” and it is currently listed on the South Lake Tahoe – Multiple Listing Service (MLS) for $339,000 and has been assigned the Assessor’s Parcel Number (APN) of 022-200-014-000 and the physical address of 610 Tahoe Keys Blvd. As approved by the TKPOA Board of Directors Adele Lucas is the listing agent with Chase International and she can be contacted at (530) 545-0888 or adele@adelelucas.com if you have any questions regarding this listing.

Once this property is sold a new “Annual Assessment Paying” property will be established.

The sale of the property will recover or defray the costs from the original property purchase through Revenue/ Income generation. Currently the TKPOA Board of Directors and TKPOA Finance Committee have approved the 2019 Operating Budget with $200,000 in income to build Common Fund Cash Reserves from the sale of this “New Buildable Lot.” The potential sale revenue also was taken into account in the 2020 Operating Budget and 2020 30 Year Reserve Expenditure plan. Based on the past two years of budget deficits due to unplanned legal expenses dealing with the Tahoe Keys Marina and Yacht Club (TKM&YC) these funds would be utilized to repay the Common reserve fund.

In the 2020 Annual Budget the TKPOA has budgeted $15,156 in the Common Reserve Fund for eliminating encroachments on the TKPOA owned Lake Tallac parcels.

The TKPOA Board of Directors and TKPOA Staff are reviewing the options available legally to the Association and Property Owners for eliminating encroachments, through the purchase of additional property and performing a lot line adjustment. As well as potential opportunity for Lake Tallac adjacent Property Owners to purchase additional property in general from the TKPOA or other potential options that would be legally valid.

ABLE LOT” LISTED FOR SALE In addition to selling this “New Buildable Lot”, and potential additional sales of land for lot line adjustments the TKPOA could still sell the excess Residential Coverage (Soil Class 6) or SEZ Zone Coverage (Soil Class SEZ 1b) that is assigned to the Lake Tallac Lagoon property APN 022-200016-000. There is 6,320 square feet of Residential Coverage and 1,284 square feet of SEZ Zone Coverage associated with this property. This sale of coverage would recover or defray the costs from the original property purchase through Revenue/Income generation and would be an ongoing process with no actual deadline.

By Linda Callahan, Architectural Control Department Manager

HOT TUBS REQUIRE ACC APPROVAL IF YOU ARE CONSIDERING THE PLACEMENT OF A HOT TUB ON YOUR PROPERTY, several issues need to be addressed

prior to installation. First, you must submit a Form 12 application to ACC for review. This form can be found on our website www.TKPOA.com or at the front desk of the TKPOA pavilion. We will also be happy to email you the application.

All saunas, Jacuzzis, spas, portable spas, and hot tubs must be approved prior to installation or construction. Failure to do so will result in a fine.

Requirements for Hot Tubs are outlined in Section 12 of the Architectural Control Rules Brochure.

• 12.01 All accessory structures or equipment must be approved by the ACC prior to installation.

• 12.02 No lot accessory may be placed in any set-back area nor can they be placed anywhere on the street-side of the lot (side set-back -5 feet, rear set-back -15 feet from high water line (HWL).

• 12.03 Motorized or noise emitting installations (like pumps, filters or other equipment) will require soundproofing or a decibel rating low enough so as not to disturb neighbors.

• 12.04 All Saunas, Jacuzzis and Hot Tubs must be outfitted with a locked, secure childproof cover.

• 12.05 City of South Lake Tahoe requires permits for some lot accessories. Any required permits must be obtained from the CSLT before ACC review.

• 12.06 No lot accessories may be installed upon OWPs, landings or other over-water structure.

Be mindful of TRPA coverage considerations when planning the placement of the sauna, Jacuzzi, spa or hot tub. Also, general land use requirements and building codes are established and enforced by the City of South Lake Tahoe and other agencies.

Upon applying for a hot tub, keep these things in mind: • A City of South Lake Tahoe electrical permit must be obtained after ACC approval.

• A backflow preventative device must be installed, if appropriate for the unit.

• Hot Tubs must never be placed within the property’s 5’ side setback.

• Preferably, the unit should be centered within the property to avoid disturbing neighbors.

Sounds of pumps kicking on and off all night can be a nuisance to your neighbors. This is especially true if the property is being used as a vacation rental.

In the course of conducting recent property inspections, we have discovered many non-permitted hot tubs. If yours is one of those properties, you will be receiving a violation letter and request for compliance from the Architectural Control Department. Included in the letter will be a Form 12 application. Return the application with the necessary supporting documents as soon as possible for review by the ACC committee.

Prompt return of the application will also suspend further violation notifications.

Any questions can be directed to the Architectural Control Department, (530) 542-6444, ext. 230 or acc@tahoekeyspoa.org.

By Heather Blumenthal, Operations Manager DURING THE OCTOBER 19TH, 2019 Board of Directors Regular Meeting,

TKPOA 2020 VACATION HOME RENTAL –

Annual Permit Fee Good Faith Estimate

Keys Breeze

the Tahoe Keys Property Owners Association (TKPOA) Board approved the 2020 Operating and Reserve Budgets for Common, Water Company, Water Quality, Channels and Lagoons, and the Townhome Subdivisions. As part of the annual budget planning process the TKPOA Board, Finance Committee, and Staff review fees and fines for the upcoming fiscal year, including the Annual TKPOA Vacation Home Rental (VHR) Permit Fee. These fees and fines are then approved as part of TKPOA’s Annual Budgets.

For the 2020 Calendar year, the TKPOA Annual VHR Permit Fee has been set at $700 as approved as part of the 2020 Annual Budget at the October 19th, 2019 Board of Directors Regular Board Meeting. During the Budget planning process for 2020, TKPOA Staff put together a good faith estimate of TKPOA’s reasonable costs associated with vacation rentals within the Association that includes maintenance of TKPOA Amenity facilities, use of TKPOA Amenity facilities by vacation renters, supply costs per Department, Staff time assisting vacation renters, Staff time responding to vacation rental complaints and reporting, Water Quality expenses (for vacation renter boating), and other vacation rental related expenses.

The TKPOA Front Desk operations has staffing at the TKPOA Pavilion offices open from 8:30 a.m.–4:30 p.m. seven days a week, Monday through Sunday. The front desk hours are to accommodate Property Owners, Property Owners Guests, and Vacation Rental Guests. Currently our process to sell Recreational Passes is not an integrated Point of Sale system, so the tracking of the types of “Guests” these passes are sold to are through a manual system at the point of sale and also tracked at the point of entry at the Indoor and Outdoor pools.

Our TKPOA Maintenance, Property Management, Landscaping, Water Company, Water Quality, and Security Department respond to issues and concerns that occur in our overall community, our common areas and townhome common areas that are at times the result of impacts from Vacation Renters, from nuisance issues to damage to TPKOA property or Homeowner Property and to the increased usage of TKPOA lagoons and waterways. This is documented through Security Incident Reports, Maintenance Work Orders, Water Company and Water Quality Work Orders, Police Reports, Insurance Claims, Member Letters and related litigation filed against the TKPOA. As part of providing improved enforcement of the “Owner, Renter, and Vacation Policy, Rules, and Regulations” moving forward TKPOA Staff has worked towards better classification of these nuisance calls. This is a public relations process at best, and often times this depends on the cooperation of the actual occupants alleged of a nuisance complaint to provide the TKPOA Staff with accurate information. |

The good faith estimate also includes revenue collected from the Daily and Weekly Pool Passes and Vacation Renter Boat Stickers (for their boats docked within the Townhome Dock Areas) and compares TKPOA’s estimated 2020 revenue to the estimated 2020 vacation rental program expenditures.

The TKPOA Board of Directors is allowed to implement an annual fee based on the provisions of the Davis-Stirling Act Civil Code section §5600. Duty to Levy Assessments; Fees to Defray Costs. “An association shall not impose or collect an assessment or fee that exceeds the amount necessary to defray the costs for which it is levied.” The 2015 “Watts vs.

Oak Shore Community Association” legal case gave the California Associations be ability to provide a good faith estimate that would be sufficient to determine this charge or fee. An Association can adopt different rules and fees for property owners who engaged in short-term rentals.

Each year the TKPOA provides Property Owners through the annual billing and the Annual Disclosure a mailing of all the fees. If Property Owners rent their property during the calendar year they are still responsible for the entire permit fee, and will not be offered a prorated permit fee. TKPOA bases its VHR Property List on the City of South Lake Tahoe’s (CSLT) VHR List of properties within the City that have a current, valid permit with the CSLT. TKPOA pulls the addresses within the Tahoe Keys from the list to determine which properties must also register as a VHR with the Association. The CSLT list can be found on the City’s website at http://www.cityofslt.us/.

Information on TKPOA’s VHR Program, including the 2020 VHR Permit Fee Good Faith Estimate can be found on the TKPOA website, www.tkpoa.com. For any additional information or questions please contact Operations Manager Heather Blumenthal at (530) 542-6444, ext. 228 or hblumenthal@tahoekeyspoa.org.

For the 2020 calendar year, the TKPOA Annual VHR Permit Fee has been set at $700...

KEY PERFORMER AWARD ON BEHALF OF THE TKPOA A Board of Directors,

Management, Staff, and Members, I would like to congratulate Water Quality Supervisor Ben Hopper for receiving the TKPOA Employee of the Quarter Key Performer Award for the 3rd Quarter 2019.

The TKPOA Employee of the Quarter Key Performer Award is a Peer Recognition Program that acknowledges those employees that routinely go above and beyond to meet the needs of the Association, their Department, and position assignment.

Employees are nominated by their co-workers based on key eligibility criteria that includes reviewing specific accomplishments the nominated employee has achieved within the last year and their customer service skills and TKPOA expectations. TKPOA Management Staff selects the Employee of the Quarter based on the nominations after reviewing these key criteria requirements.

The TKPOA Board and Management Staff recognize the hard work and efforts of all TKPOA employees that allow the successful management of this unique community development and would like to congratulate all 2019’s 3rd Quarter nominees: Vesper Rodriquez, Water Quality; Ben Hopper, Water Quality; and Greg Turle, ACC.

PRESIDENT'S LETTER

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3

control aquatic evasive plants. Our TKPOA Maintenance Team and Architectural Control Department is quickly bringing our aging infrastructure up to current standards, and our new Water Department Manager is making sure our drinking water continues to meet or exceed standards. Our numerous other Committees continue to steer our association in the direction of what our homeowners desire. This can only occur, and is only possible, due to the numerous volunteer hours many of our homeowners log each month. During discussions with the various management teams, and many homeowners of the numerous Associations I visited, I became increasingly thankful for our Tahoe Keys Property Owners Association. I’m reminded of the adage, “The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence.” When comparing Homeowner Associations, I found this to be a true statement and I’m thankful for that. Happy Holidays to you and your family, looking forward to another great year.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

Thanks for a great year.
