tahoe village upgrade/remodel plan
DESCRIPTION
TRANSCRIPT
With anything I request or suggest to the TVHOA Board I also agree to volunteer my time to gather details. I created the following slide presentation to provide information to the TVHOA Board and Staff about the current state of Tahoe Village. In my opinion, we have exhausted the useful life of the original Tahoe Village plan. Now is the time to create a new plan for what we want Tahoe Village to look like for the next 20 years. I believe we need to create a 5 year master plan along with an itemized budget to upgrade and remodel Tahoe Village to give it a mountain theme and consistent look throughout. The six areas of focus are: #1 Garbage Sheds #2 Garbage Containers #3 Street Name Signs, Posts and Welcome Sign #4 Fire Hydrants, Posts and Fire Signs #5 Traffic Signs and Posts #6 Wayfinding and one way loop issue For each of the six areas of focus listed above I have pictures detailing the current state of things a explanation of the current situation(s) along with a possible solution(s) slides with additional pictures and information I believe every homeowner and business in Tahoe Village will benefit from these proposed improvements.

#1 Garbage Sheds
#4 Fire Hydrants and Posts
#6 Wayfinding
#2 Garbage Containers
#6 Traffic Signs and Posts
#3 Street Name Signs, Posts and Welcome Sign
Garbage Sheds
Area of Focus #1
Current Situation- Sheds have an outdated look. There is damage to trim, siding and/or
the structural integrity. Current stain on buildings is single
color and outdated and faded. Some roofs still have shakes. 2x4 studs showing on inside walls and
ceiling give it an unfinished look. Possible Solutions Fix/Repair trim boards and body of all
sheds. Correct for any leaning- square up Remove all stickers/signs/graffiti paint
from sheds. Add stain or paint to the exterior body
of the shed. Add stain or paint to the interior of the
shed. Add different paint or stain to exterior
horizontal and vertical trim pieces for contrast.
Add black metal gates to front. Add rock to 4 ft around outside base of
shed. Add colored metal roofs. Add plywood to interior and cover all
studs (paint or stain new plywood).
Garbage Containers
Area of Focus #2
Current Situation-
TVHOA rents the garbage containers from S Tahoe Refuse.
Garbage containers are covered with rust and dents.
Stickers and signs plaster the fronts.
South Tahoe Refuse not willing to replace or repaint. They may be willing to swap out a couple.
Possible Solutions-
Replace garbage containers- purchase instead of rent (see slide with garbage container examples and purchase option).
Scrape off all signs and stickers.
Paint front and top of container only.
Paint entire container.
Create and add one clean looking sign/sticker with needed information
Street Name Signs, Posts, Welcome Sign
Area of Focus #3 TVHOA Street Name Signs and Posts Current Situation- Current post and sign color scheme is outdated. Need to add signs to help with directions in specific target areas (see wayfinding slide). Many different styles of signs used when selling a unit. Possible Solutions- New design and color(s). Keep signs and posts, but change color scheme. Encourage properties to update building/business name signs using TVHOA approved
colors/design. Encourage properties to update the building and unit number signs using TVHOA
approved colors/design. Require same sign design when selling a unit. TVHOA Welcome Sign Current Situation- Sign colors are outdated. Signs are different color(s) and styles. Lighting is outdated. Snow build up covers signs during winter months. Lacks a welcome to Tahoe Village feel. No Heavenly presence . Possible Solutions- Update color(s) of the Tahoe Village Sign Update the lighting for the sign Create a roof to box in the signs and protect from snow build up. Create Welcome To Tahoe Village sign Create consistent color(s) scheme, font, style for all signs Use this opportunity to add new signs for additional properties/businesses? Heavenly?
Fire Hydrants, Posts and Fire Signs
Area of Focus #4
Current Situation-
Fire hydrants and protective posts need new paint.
Paint colors are not consistent throughout Tahoe Village.
FH signs are faded or damaged and need replacing.

Come up with a unique paint color scheme/pattern specific to Tahoe Village for fire hydrants and posts.
Repair/replace all FH signage and posts with wood posts.
Create unique posts or color for FH posts throughout.
Traffic Signs and Posts
Area of Focus #5
Current Situation-
Traffic signs are faded, bent and in need of repair or replacement.
Posts for traffic signs are dented or bent.
No consistency with traffic sign posts- some are wood, some are metal. Some are painted green, some are silver color and some are rust color.
No dog pick up bags or signs about leash rules for TVHOA.
One way road issues can always be improved.
Possible Solutions-
Create consistent post and color plan.
Partner with KGID and Douglas County to replace/upgrade signs.
Dog leash rules and dog pick up signs, posts and bags

Directions to overflow parking lot(s).
