Changes to the Tahoe-Truckee Area Advisory:
ADDITION:
19. Potential Future Development Lands: Any undeveloped land that is currently owned by private or public entities, including but not limited to Tahoe Conservancy Land, other land conservancies and U.S. National Forest Service land could be sold, exchanged, or traded and/or could be potentially developed in the future. Buyer should not assume or rely on any representations that undeveloped lands will remain undeveloped.
TYPO CORRECTION: Change Compliance to COMPLIANT
2.3Glenshire/Devonshire Residents Association (GDRA): GDRA will perform an inspection of the Property to determine if it is compliance compliant with the current CC&Rs. Any negative findings by the GDRA are required to be addressed within 45 days from receipt of their notice. Buyer is advised to check with GDRA regarding any compliance issues.
REVISIONS:
3. Defensible Space Ordinances: California law requires that homeowners maintain defensible space if the Property is located within an area subject to substantial forest fire risks and hazards. Fire hazard mitigation may be required for this Property. If the Sellers are obligated to provide Buyers with a Natural Hazards Disclosure Statement (“NHDS”), that report will specify whether or not the Property is located within a fire hazard zone. The State of California is not obligated to provide fire protection to any building or structure located in such an area. It is not the state’s responsibility to provide fire protection services to any building or structure located within the wildlands unless the Department of Forestry and Fire Protection has entered into a cooperative agreement with a local agency for those purposes pursuant to Section 4142 of the Public Resources Code. Some local governing agencies have also enacted additional defensible space ordinances and inspection programs. Property owners must comply with established standards for fire prevention and defensible space standards. Questions on this topic should be directed to the Department of Forestry or contact the local Fire Protection District. The contact information for many of those local areas are included below:
4. Floodplain: The Property may lie within a flood plain or flood plain setback area. If the Sellers are obligated to provide Buyers with a Natural Hazards Disclosure Statement (“NHDS”), that report will specify whether or not the Property is located within a flood plain. Buyers should investigate with local municipal, County, Regional and Federal agencies as to any limitations that this designation may create. Insurance costs may also be affected if the Property lies within a flood plain. Buyer should consult with their insurance provider regarding this issue
