HOT TUB / SPA

Hello all,

Please be aware that the HOA is in the process of changing the sand filter at the pool/spa. The spa may appear hazy because of this, but we wanted to ensure you that it is safe and should be corrected soon. The chemistry of the water is safe.

Thank you,
Justin Harkly

Architectural Committee – sub committee members needed – please read below if interested

Hello Boulders Owners,

We have started a sub group of the Architectural Committee to research options for central Air Conditioning. There are some of us who have West facing units which creates temps between 85-90 degrees indoors which is unsafe and intolerable. 

The goal of this sub group is to offer best options in order to change the CC&Rs which currently do not allow central Air Conditioning.

If you are interested in taking an active role on this sub group please contact:

Truckee Boulders Firewise Community Update, August 2025

Dear Boulders Homeowners and Residents,

We wrote to you last summer about Firewise requirements and wanted to review some of them with you:

  • All residents should have cleared the space underneath their decks of any flammable items that were stored there. Storing items under the deck creates a fire hazard. South facing units on Dolomite that back up to the forest cannot have any items under their decks as these decks will be fully screened this fall.
  • You should have the evacuation map posted in your unit. (Reminder, our Zone is TRK-E32)
  • You should be signed up for Code Red as this will be the major source for information during an emergency. Watch Duty also provides real time information about fires in the Truckee area.
  • Outdoor mats should be fireproof/made of rubber or metal and not made of natural materials.
  • When you leave your unit for an extended period of time, please store outdoor furniture cushions and your propane tank in your garage.
  • If you have any personal plants on your deck or patio, they should be planted in a ceramic pot.

The following projects will be begin mid- September as part of our Firewise 3 year action plan:

  • All mulch in the five foot zone will be replaced with gravel.
  • Plants in the five foot zone will be removed as part of compliance with upcoming state requirements. There will be some green groundcover left in the five foot zone.
  • Hazardous trees will be removed and other trees will be limbed to mitigate ladder fuel in our community.
  • Some of the decks will be screened to protect the buildings from embers landing under them and causing the building to ignite.
  • Firewise community signs have been posted at both entrances to our community.

These projects are necessary to keep our Firewise certificate and help mitigate our insurance costs. If you would like to read more about Firewise in our community, you can find further information on the Boulders Homeowners Site.

Sincerely,

Julie Ebert, Glen Rothell, & Laurie Mecchi

Tree and Shrub Removal (Sep 16-23 2025) to meet Firewise Requirements

Beginning Tuesday, September 16, 2025, Arbor Pros will be removing trees that are dead, too close to buildings, or are crowded together. The trees have been marked with blue paint. This work will continue until the 19th at which time stump grinding will take place. The following Monday 9/22/2025 and Tuesday 9/23/2025, Arbor Pros will be removing shrubs within 5 feet of buildings. The areas where this will be the most noticeable will be beneath the primary bedroom windows. After these projects are completed, another contractor will be placing crushed rock in place of wood mulch within the 5 foot zone. This work is a continuation of our effort to make the community more fire safe and maintain our Firewise certification.
