The Common Area Stewardship Committee (CASC) has developed a list of western native plants that are adaptable to the different areas on the Pointe, with a focus on fire resistance, wildlife habitat, our unique soils, as well as the ability to withstand increasing summer heat and drought events.
Plants native to our area have developed over thousands of years to adapt to mineral soils, and a cool Mediterranean climate (mild wet winters and warm dry summers). When properly situated and established, native plants require little to no watering, pruning, fertilizing or pesticides. Some do well in shade while others prefer sunnier locations. Many can survive dry conditions where others are adapted to riparian habitats or standing water, as found throughout the Pointe.
Landscaping requires a permit issued by HPMA per Article III of our Rules. We are a planned community based on a natural environment harmonious with the existing vegetation native to Hartstene Pointe. Landscaping should be designed to blend and/or complement the natural environment.
The CASC charter includes the encouragement of community members in projects that promote the preservation and enjoyment of our natural spaces. If you would like assistance with your planting ideas, please contact the committee through our HPMA website.

COMPREHENSIVE NATURAL RESOURCES
STEWARDSHIP PLAN FOR HARTSTENE POINTE: A PROPOSAL OF THE NATURAL RESOURCES COMMITTEE
JULY 2012
(printed copy available in the office)
(approved for posting, but not endorsed by the NRC)
Addendum to 6/23/12 Comprehensive Natural Resource Stewardship Plan :
Climate Adaptation Plan
Introduction
Approximately 9 years ago the Natural Resource Committee (NRC) finalized the Comprehensive Natural Resource Stewardship Plan, in order to “provide a sound foundation for resource stewardship that reflects our shared desire to preserve forest, wildlife, aquatic, and shoreline resources for their own sake, our own enjoyment and the enjoyment of future generations.” The following year, the Common Areas Stewardship Committee (CASC) was formed, as the successor the the NRC, with an emphasis on implementing projects to preserve and enhance the common areas consistent with the recommendations in the stewardship plan.
The purpose of this addendum is to recommend updates to the stewardship plan which account for the impacts of climate change on our forests, bluffs, beaches, and shoreline infrastructure.
This proposal will present findings and recommendations to the Board and owners in 3 areas: Drainage and Erosion; Forest Resiliency; and Habitat and Wildlife. In each area we will describe vulnerable assets, potential impacts from climate change, and possible mitigations.

Drainage and Erosion Ad Hoc Committee
|
|
Committee Charter
The ad hoc Drainage/Erosion Committee will research and present actionable recommendations for the BOD to address both long term and short term issues with our bluff drainage/erosion. The primary focus of these recommendations will be to decrease the impact of drainage from private lots on bluff erosion, as well as related drainage issues. Recommendations may include both changes in rules and policy to address the larger drainage issue, as well as actions to take in the near term to address more immediate problems
