In most cases it makes for better neighborhood relations to contact the pet owner directly and
explain what is going on. Many times, dogs bark when the owner is not home, so pet owners are not always aware of the problem. If for some reason reporting the problem directly to the pet owner is not feasible, call Jefferson County Animal Control (JCAC) at 360-385-3292.
You are encouraged to limit outdoor pets to two (2); no livestock is allowed. Dogs must wear a current dog license; the licensing of cats is recommended. Dogs must be leashed at all times when off your property, except for supervised runs on the beach when they must be under voice control. The leash rule applies to all roads and common areas in Kala Point, as well as in Old Fort Townsend State Park, which borders Kala Point. You must remove all pet waste from right of ways, the beach and common areas. Pet waste bags are available at both ends of the beach parking lot. You must prevent your dog(s) from barking excessively. Any animal running loose may be seized and impounded. See Rules & Regulations
NOTE: For more details about Vegetation/Views, please refer to the KPOA Governing Documents at kalapoint.org. APP XII Tree Committee
While views are protected, the CC&Rs state that views may be maintained to the greatest extent reasonably practicable. Therefore, we recommend that new members take photographs of the view they have at the time they purchase. Date the photo and identify your property (lot number/street address) and submit a copy for the KPOA Office owners’ lot file. These photos provide documentation of your view and aid in maintaining it
All requests for view maintenance must first be reviewed by the appropriate committee. If the trees in question are on your property, your neighbor’s property or KPOA common property, (other than the Bluffs common property) approval must be obtained from the Tree Committee. If the trees in question are on KPOA Bluffs common area, the approval must be obtained from the Bluff Management Advisory Committee (BMAC.) Again, we recommend that all new members take photographs of the view they have at the time they purchase their property. Date the photo and identify the property (lot number/street address) and submit a copy for the KPOA Office owners’ lot file.
Prior approval is not required to perform any action on trees planted by a former or current member on private property. These are called “planted” trees. You are permitted to perform any action on a “planted” tree – a tree that does not meet the definition for a “mature natural tree (planted by Mother Nature).
A “mature tree” is classified as one that is larger than six inches in diameter or 19 inches in circumference measured at three feet above the trunk base. You must obtain prior approval from the Tree Committee to remove or limb a mature, natural growing tree.
There are some exceptions related to limbing a mature natural tree. You do not have to obtain prior approval from the Tree Committee if the tree limbs are within 15 feet from the side of a dwelling (or eaves) or other structure*, if the limbs are overhanging the dwelling or other structure within 15 feet of the roof or 15 feet over the driveway, or the limbs are dead. These may be pruned to the trunk without permission.
See Governing Documents–Tree Committee APP XII
*For the purposes of the Vegetation Policy, ‘structure” is defined as a dwelling, deck, greenhouse,
permanent shed or gazebo that has been approved by the Architectural Committee. [Note: some
exemptions do not apply to certain KPOA areas that are under the Jefferson County Shoreline Master Program jurisdiction involving Critical Areas and/or Shoreline Buffer areas. Check with the KPOA General Manager.]
All proposed actions regarding mature natural trees on your neighbor’s lot must be authorized by the Tree Committee. First, obtain the Vegetation Control Request Form at the KPOA Office or download it from the KPOA website. Then, get written permission from your neighbor concerning your proposed actions. Submit that written permission along with your completed Vegetation Control Request form to the KPOA Office. The KPOA Office staff will route your request to the Tree Committee.
All requests for tree action on KPOA Bluffs common property must first be reviewed by the Bluff Management Advisory Committee (BMAC). BMAC Tree Action Proposal Forms may be obtained at the KPOA Office or on online at the KPOA website. [Note: Certain lots are affected by the Jefferson County Shoreline Master Program (SMP – Ordinance #07-1216-13) including areas within 200 feet of the shoreline involving Critical Areas and/or Shoreline Buffers. Check with the KPOA General Manager.]
For tree action on all other KPOA common property, approval must be obtained from the Tree
Committee and the KPOA General Manager. Tree Committee Vegetation Control Request Forms may be obtained at the KPOA Office or downloaded from the KPOA website.
If your property is a developed property (with a home), you may cut back or remove non-tree vegetation without obtaining KPOA permission, always applying the 6- inch rule. For example, if a tree is less than six inches in diameter (when measured at three feet above the trunk base) it may be removed without prior approval.
If your property is undeveloped (without a home), you are limited to minimal vegetation removal using only hand tools. To use heavy machinery on an undeveloped lot you must obtain prior written approval from the appropriate KPOA committee (Tree or Architectural) See Governing Documents under APPs. If your property is on the bluff area, there are additional rules concerning trees, shrubs and undergrowth.
[Note: Certain lots are affected by the Jefferson County Shoreline Master Program (SMP – Ordinance #07-1216-13) including areas within 200 feet of the shoreline involving Critical Areas and/or Shoreline Buffers. Check with KPOA General Manager.]
If the tree being removed is a natural tree, the requester pays. If the tree being removed is a planted tree, the property owner pays.
Contact the KPOA Office or you can download it at www.kalapoint.org under Forms
Return completed form(s) to the KPOA Office where they will be routed to the appropriate
committee. A Tree Committee case manager will contact you concerning your request

Yes, washing cars in driveways is ok. Washing vehicles at the beach is not authorized except for
rinsing off saltwater from boats and trailers.
In most cases, the strip of land between the road edge and the front of the individual lot is part of the right-of-way owned by KPOA. The width of this strip varies from a couple of feet to as much as 15 feet. If you are unsure of the location of your property corners, contact the KPOA Office. The only accurate method to determine property lines is to hire a surveyor.
A setback is the no-build zone around your property. Generally, it’s 10 feet around the side and back property lines and 25 feet in the front.
If you wish to make improvements or alterations to these areas, the KPOA General Manager must give authorization prior to commencement of any work. If changes are approved, you will be responsible for maintaining these areas. KPOA always reserves the right to enter onto or make use of the property at any time, and, if necessary, require that the improvements be removed at your expense.
You are expected to keep your developed property neat and in a good state of repair, with shrubbery pruned, weeds cut and dead trees removed. RVs, boats and extra cars should be stored in your garage or in the storage lots, not on the streets or road shoulders. Garbage cans shall be stored out of sight of the road.
Any exterior change to an existing structure, such as re-roofing or adding a room, repainting or the adding of a new structure requires approval by the Architectural Committee see APP III and submitting a request using the Forms tab on kalapoint.org or visiting the Administration office.

build a wood or storage shed is approved, you must build according to the guidelines available online under Governing Documents–Administrative Policies & Procedures APP III or visit us at the KPOA Office.
