Membership & Events Calendar of RSCA Events

Sounds of the Shores Summer Concerts

ere is certainly no shortage of fun opportunities for Shores
residents in the summertime! With students on break from
school, some families seek out camps and enrichment
programs. Other residents enjoy the local pool, tennis courts,
bike paths, get togethers with friends and family and the
casual outdoor concerts right here in the middle of Redwood
Shores. is edition of e PILOT was sent to press before
the first Sounds of the Shores event on June 24th, but I know
there’s always a big crowd there. Who waved to me during
intermission as I asked “Who’s a member of RSCA?”
RSCA has been active for nearly 50 years, serving over 5,000
homes and businesses located here in the 94065, but our
voluntary membership hovers around 1,000 each year. New

CC&RS DefineD foR ReDwooD ShoReS
What are “CC&Rs”?
Many Shores residents don’t know what “CC&Rs” are beyond
the idea they have something to do with the appearance of
their neighborhood. Many others, if asked, describe them as
the “rules” that govern their neighborhood. Both are right,
but there is much more to CC&Rs.
If your home (or business) is in the 94065 zip code, you have
“Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions” (CC&Rs). ey
came with the title to your home. CC&Rs regulate many
“common interest developments” including condominiums,
co-ops and planned single family neighborhoods.
CC&Rs, usually drafted and enforced through homeowners’
associations (HOAs), often restrict what homeowners can
do on or to their property. For example, some CC&Rs
restrict clotheslines, parking, number of pets, some set lawn
maintenance standards, and most prohibit home additions
or major changes to the home or property visible to the
public without specific written approval from the
homeowners’ association (HOA).
So what is a Covenant?
In the context of residential neighborhoods, a “covenant” is a
rule that governs the use of real property. Legally, a properly
recorded covenant (technically, a “restrictive deed covenant”)
is binding and enforceable. Even when covenants are not part
of a home’s purchase contract and are instead signed among
neighbors (such as a mutual compact), they are binding and
may be litigated if breached.
e standards enforced through covenants help the homes in
the neighborhood retain their value because these
communities tend to be more aesthetically pleasing and are
better maintained. Homeowners welcome these standards
since they typically address things like paint and roof colors,
general upkeep, lawn and yard maintenance, and other things
that impact quality of life. e individual owner or resident
generally doesn’t have to “hope” his neighbor will maintain
their property. ey are required to maintain it by virtue of
owning property in that specific neighborhood.
e more inclusive term “covenants, conditions, and
restrictions” (or CC&Rs) is typically used in real estate
documents and HOA correspondence.
CC&R Enforcement
Your HOA or neighborhood association will usually have
procedures in place to enforce these rules or to accommodate
exemptions. Typically, a violation will result in either a
warning (via a written notice to the homeowner) or a fine.
Page 4 July 2018 e PILOT
But if an alleged violation is not resolved, the association
may bring legal action against the owner.
In some instances, it may be reasonable to ask the association
for an exemption to, or “variance” from, an existing
covenant. is is typically granted in situations where literal
enforcement would cause undue hardship for the
homeowner. For instance, a vision-impaired resident may
need extra outdoor lighting that exceeds what is allowed by
the covenant. Or, the homeowners may agree to impose a
set of separate rules, often called a “program”, to guide the
entire community in replacing say, roofing materials or
windows to ensure uniformity and quality standards.
Requests for variances usually are handled through
association hearings, while a notice of the request is often
sent to the other residents and owners.
View Restrictions
Property values are often determined by the view offered to its
residents. For instance, a home offering views of the waterways
as in Redwood Shores will be valued more than the same home
with a view of an inside street. erefore, neighborhoods with
CC&Rs may address this by restricting the location and size
of fences and trees and prohibit sheds or other view obstructing
structures on the water side of the property.
In the Shores communities which fall under the additional
governance of Redwood Shores Owners Association
(RSOA), attention is particularly focused on keeping the
waterfront views unobstructed for the enjoyment of all.
Redwood Shores Community Association (RSCA)
advocates for the Shores overall and plans many community
activities. e RSCA Architectural Design Board has
architectural jurisdiction over those homes outside RSOA’s
jurisdiction. e goals of both RSOA and RSCA are to help
retain the beauty and aesthetic appeal of the entire residential
and commercial areas of the Shores. Businesses in the Shores
must also abide by their own CC&Rs.
Value of Covenants
Neighborhoods with legal CC&Rs or architectural standards
have been shown to retain property value better than those
with poorly enforced standards or no standards at all.
Neighborhoods that follow their covenants and standards tend
to be safer, look better, maintain better relationships with local
governments, and better retain or increase the value of the
investment that owners have made in their property.

I A n B A I n , CITy Of REDWOOD CITy
A community is made up of individuals. e best communities
are comprised of individuals willing to give of their time to
make the community a better place. One such person who
gave back to his community in many ways was Steve Penna,
who passed away unexpectedly on June 1st. Steve was born
and raised in Redwood City, and he loved his community.
For many people, he is perhaps best known as the publisher
of the Spectrum Magazine, a monthly publication that
focused on all things Redwood City. Steve wrote a monthly
column wherein he offered his thoughts and opinions on
local government – the good, the bad and the ugly. While I
didn’t always agree with Steve’s opinions, I always looked
forward to reading the Spectrum. In addition to critiquing
government officials, Steve used the Spectrum to highlight
the “little guy” – members of our community who are quietly
making a difference. He cared deeply about people like that,
and understood the critical role that they play in making our
community function.
But Steve didn’t just write about the community, he actively
participated in trying to make Redwood City a better place.
He served on the board of the Police Activities League for
many years, and was a champion for programs that engaged
our youth, taught them to be good citizens and kept them
out of trouble. He participated in theater, and led the effort
to restore Carrington Hall on the Sequoia High School
campus. I had the opportunity to work closely with him on
that effort, and I remember Photo

lasting
impact on his community.
Steve was a big supporter of our downtown concerts, and had
a regular spot at Courthouse Square where he entertained
friends and family. Just one week before he passed, he held a
“Friday Night Concert Preview,” event featuring several local
businesses, who donated time, money and food to help raise
money for the concert series. e event was highly successful,
and well attended, and Steve was incredibly happy and
upbeat. at is how I will remember him.
A community is only as good its people, and how much they
are willing to get involved and give back. Some do this
through their church, some through non-profits, some
through their businesses and business organizations and some
through local government. I am grateful to Steve for the
many ways he gave back, and I hope his story will inspire
others to think about what more they can do to make our
community a better place.

e May 19th tournament was a lesson in remaining flexible.
With a very small draw (four men and seven women),
tournament director Cynthia Hunton knew she’d have to be
creative—but she didn’t yet know to what extent. e
difficult draw was complete, but the day before the
tournament one player had to drop out for medical reasons.
Cynthia gamely (excuse the pun) re-did the draw. en the
day of the tournament, another player simply didn’t show
up. Cynthia tried again to rearrange the schedule of play, a
task that was getting impossibly complicated, when by
consensus it was decided to throw out the draw entirely and
turn the whole event into a “fun day.” e four men simply
rotated partners, as did the five women who were left. No
one kept score, there were no prizes awarded, and in any case
no social had been planned for lack of a volunteer host.
Here’s the thing about the Redwood Shores Tennis Club —
if lemons happen, we make lemonade.
Kudos to Cynthia Hunton
for her heroic planning and
for keeping her cool
throughout, and also to her
husband Dennis Murphy
who, along with Cynthia,
provided the refreshments.
anks are also due to
photographer Ruth Waters
and to Kathy Miles for
providing your correspon-
dent (who was out of town
that day) with a very
complete run-down of
tournament events.
e June tournament, which will have occurred by the time
the July PILOT is delivered, promises to be a good one. We
are expecting a big draw for this popular mixed scramble
event, and the social (hosted by club president Nicola
Tidwell) will be a gala evening at the Peninsula Museum of
Art, of which our own Ruth Waters is the founding director.
Look for the full report in a forthcoming issue of the PILOT.
e next RSTC tournament will be held on July 14th, with
a format of men’s and women’s doubles. For additional
information about the club, or to join, visit www.rstc.org.
Let’s play tennis!

How to Get Your Home Lighting Just Right
Getting the most out of your home’s lighting requires more
than flipping a switch and turning on the light. To really create
a warm, welcoming atmosphere and comfortable working
conditions, here are our tips for choosing your lights. Designers
use a technique known as layered lighting, which considers
three specific layers for each room: ambient, task, and accent.
1. Ambient Lighting.
Ambient lighting is general lighting that brightens the room
so it’s not completely dark at night. Ceiling mounts, recessed
downlights, uplights, and table lamps are all ambient lighting
options. A ceiling mount is a central light fixture mounted
close to the ceiling. Recessed downlights are lights in canisters
mounted into the ceiling, and dispersed throughout the room
to distribute enough ambient light. Uplights are also mounted e right lighting creates a welcoming atmosphere. Photo courtesy

now and mandated by California’s energy efficiency code
requirements. Incandescent bulbs are being phased out in favor
of more energy efficient options. Great improvements in LED
technology mean they can closely simulate warm, cozy
environments created by incandescent lighting. When choosing
LED lights, look for dimmable bulbs to customize the amount
of ambient light in each room. Also, take note of the bulb’s color
temperature output. Color temperature measures the color of
light produced by the bulb, measured in Kelvins (K), and ranges
from warm, yellow light to cool, blue-white light.

Happy Summer Redwood Shores!
Our schools are fairly quiet this month, though we do have the
extended school year (summer school) program taking place in
the mornings at Redwood Shores Elementary for 40 students
through July 20th.
PARCEL TAx MEASuRE
As of the PILOT deadline, Measure K, the District’s parcel tax
measure, has passed with 67.5% of the vote! is was a big
comeback considering that the measure had only 64.1% of the
vote on election night, more than 2.5% short of the two-thirds
majority required for passage. Because this election was all
mail-in ballots, fewer than half of the total ballots cast had been
counted on election night. is measure provides vital
short-term relief to our school district finances and preserves our
quality programs. ank you to the community for your
support of our schools!

Congratulations to two of our students who went back east last

competed with 500 of the nation’s best spellers and made it to
the third round. e word that stumped her was replicatile (adj.,
capable of being folded back on itself ). And on our last day of
school on June 13th, Sushant Bhopale was at the University of
Maryland, College Park, participating in the National History

Much-Anticipated Project at SVCW Scheduled to
Begin in July After Four Years of Planning & Design
(continued from Silicon Valley Clean Water advertisement on Page 10)
Delivery of piles and installation will occur during two stages
over the next three-month period. Construction will take place
between 7am and 6pm Mondays through Fridays and would
be extended if needed, following a notice from SVCW to the
Redwood Shores community.
e FoP improvements that will follow starting in October
2018 will include the following and construction is expected to
continue at the FoP area until spring 2022.
• A deep, submersible pump station, called the Receiving Lift
Station, will be built to pump the incoming wastewater
from the gravity pipeline to an elevation sufficient to flow
through the wastewater treatment plant processes.
• A Headworks Facility will be constructed to provide coarse
screening and grit removal from the raw wastewater. is
process will improve the reliability of the equipment at the
wastewater treatment plant by removing rags, sand, grit, and
debris which damage pumps and other process equipment.
• A new Odor Control Facility will treat odors from the
Headworks and RLS.
• e new wastewater treatment plant components will be
connected to the existing plant processes via a new Influent
Connector Pipe.
• e Stormwater Pump Station will assure that all rainwater
and stormwater that falls on the WWTP site gets collected
and treated, as required by the plant’s national permit.
SVCW will be setting up one or two webcams and making the
link to the WorkZoneCam site available so the public can
follow the project online. When the link is active, SVCW will
share that link through a future notification which will be
distributed monthly or more frequently as warranted. If you’re

Who Knows Hockey?
by Harvey Radin
I’m hearing play-by-play sportscasters on TV as I’m in the other
room reading. It’s the Stanley Cup finals. Hockey in June?
But wow! What emotion! I go to see what’s happening.
Everyone’s screaming, the sportscasters and the crowd, as players
on both teams are racing up and down the rink. Bits of ice like
in smoothies are flying from their skate blades. Everyone’s
getting slammed around the rink. e puck and probably
players’ teeth, by the look of things, are flying all over the place.
ere’s all that commotion, but no score. “you’ve got to be
kidding!” legendary tennis star John McEnroe might say.
Okay, to be fair to fans of the sport, I’ll admit I don’t know all
that much about hockey. Ask me something about baseball,
basketball or football and I’m good to go. I can tell you about
Fuzzy urston hammering Fred “e Hammer” Williamson
in a Super Bowl game. But for some reason, I just don’t get
hockey. Friends try to explain the fundamentals, like why
hockey players are penalized when they skate outside certain
lines on the rink. I get bleary-eyed trying to follow that.
Uh oh! Someone’s getting penalized for icing. Icing on ice?
at’s almost as confusing as infractions for “interfering with a
goalkeeper in the crease” and “going to bench for stick at
stoppage.” Raise your hand if you know what those rules are all
about. As you’re trying to work all this out in your mind, there’s
still no score in the game.
Okay, I know the same can be said about baseball when there’s
lots of excitement but few runs during games. I’ve been known
to jump up from my seat at a Giants game when the baseball
slams off Belt’s or Posey’s bat, even when an outfielder somehow
catches the ball. But in baseball, you don’t have that constant
commotion like in hockey games. And baseball’s easier to
understand. You mouth off to a ref and yOu’RE OuTTA
HERE! Hockey players are sent to the penalty box, but they’re
not necessarily OUTTA HERE! Like I said, I don’t get it.

Why is it called e PILOT?
At the beginning of May, I was the guest speaker for the student
Newspaper Club at Redwood Shores Elementary School. In a
fun hour long question and answer session with approximately
30 students, there was one question that required some research.
As promised, this is the follow-up to 5th grader Ayush Pansuria’s
question: “Why is it called e PILOT?”
e answer was found at the Redwood Shores Library.
According to an article written by Janet Reinka of the Times
Tribune when e PILOT was its tenth year (1980):
“Coincidentally, e PILOT’s first editor was a United Air Lines
pilot, but the newspaper’s name reflected the great interest
among early residents in sailing not flying.”
As this is now my 2nd anniversary as Editor for e PILOT,
I’d like to thank all those who contribute to its success each
month. RSCA board members, advertisers, article writers,
Shores Press in Belmont and Precise Mailing in Burlingame.
