The View From My Window RULES, RULES, RULESOur Board of Directors has been considering some consist of the Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws,changes in our rules and will continue to do so our Restrictions (often referred to as CC&R’s), The Seagoing forward. We have new rules governing the Ranch Rules which are different than the Restrictions,flying of drones and home inspections, and several and the Design Manual and Rules which govern whatmore changes are pending. This isn’t a “make-work” gets built and how.exercise; it’s something the Board considered as a partof their action agenda for the past two years. Times By my count that is five different documents thatchange and rule-making is an important function of govern life on The Sea Ranch.

At any rate,HOA’s in general and TSRA in specific have lots of rules when we bought here we all pledged our troth to thein various forms that are often described as “governing governing documents and that can sometimes bedocuments.” In my personal world, my governing challenging.

Mowing must meet the 30’ CAL FIRE standard from the home, but it is not required to mow lot line to lot line in a rigid rectangle. Try to give the mowed area a natural, sculpted form in the landscape rather than a geometric form defined by the arbitrary property line (see sketch). And, on the windward side of the home, mow a little further than the 30’ standard to enhance defensible space. In dealing with property lines, collaborate with your neighbor and the Association to meet both CAL FIRE requirements and an organic looking shape for your defensible space. If you have a landscape contractor or property management firm take care of your mowing, please pass on the above tips. — Thanks from the DCEM — 7 —— The Sea Ranch Association Bulletin, June 2016

Coastal Stewardship Task ForceLOVELY BUT OFTEN UNNOTICED—PIGEON GUILLEMOTSAs we go into the nesting season there is a seabirdamongst us that you may not have seen. Description:like a small black football, with compact body andsmall wings so that it requires fast wing beats to lift offand fly. Now put on bright red webbed feet! Add whitewing patches. And watch the bird carefully as it opensits mouth; the INSIDE is “vermillion” as well! It opensits mouth as if no sound is coming out; then listencarefully for a high thin whistle. A hearing test forhigh frequencies! The next trick is a nest site: as youwatch, it flies directly at the rock island or bluff faceand then disappears totally inside a rock crevice! Whenone is inside the crevice, incubating or bringing fish,the other of the pair often sits near the opening. www.ruffimage.com Mating behavior © Photo by Craig TooleyRed feet, legs and mouth—unusual and distinctive They feed inshore and dive to the seabed for benthic © Photo by Craig Tooley fish and invertebrates.

Their winter plumage is quite different, with much more white. It looks like a different bird! Few stay around here in winter, and their migration is not well known. This year there is considerable concern about seabird nesting. With the changing ocean conditions (a powerful El Nino, The Blob, warming waters, etc.), the food supply may not be in the usual places. Reports of concern are coming in from Alcatraz, the Farallones, and to Mendocino that Pelagic Cormorants are not nesting, that Brandt’s Cormorants started nests and left. The Pigeon Guillemots seem to be in normal numbers, so I hope you get the opportunity to head to the coast and look for them.

Website Committee The Website Committee Gives Thanks To Anne LongThe Website Committee would like to pay a tribute to Anne Long. For the last 10 years she has tirelesslydevoted her time in helping to build and maintain the Association website as well as being Chair of theWebsite Committee. She has decided to finally retire from the committee, but she has clearly left her mark.We asked her what her most memorable accomplishments were, and she had this to say:“The Committee, with the help of several Association members, redesigned the site, identified vendors to hostthe site, moved all of the existing material to the new site, and established procedures for posting material fromthe Community Manager without delay. At the same time that the new site launched, three outstanding staffmembers (Janice, Darrell, and Sara) took up roles to post material, provide technical support to members and tothe committee, and to review postings and give guidance to the committee. I am proudest of involving so manywonderful members in the website, as committee members, advisors, contributors, and users. The website canonly get better as more members get involved.”Where were you, in 2006, when Anne began her “career” as Website Committee Chair?Thank you, Anne, for all you have done. —— Jon Loveless, Chair Website CommitteeCOMMITTEE MONTHLY These Committee meetings are open to the TSRA Membership, and all Members are MEETING SCHEDULE encouraged to attend and learn how the committee process at The Sea Ranch works.
