Dear KVCA Members:
One of the POA’s largest cost centers is the maintenance of community roads and culverts. The roads within the Vineyards, Eastatoe Park , and Falls North extend over 30 miles and are private and primarily owned and maintained by the POA. Our community was formed more than 26 years ago and many of our roads were in place prior to the formation of the POA. To ensure we have a safe environment, detailed studies of our roads and related infrastructure are performed to assess their condition. These studies guide repair or repaving when necessary or advisable. For example, in 2020 the POA spent over $1 Million to repave Cleo Chapman Hwy, which is the major artery into the Vineyards.  Following an assessment of the culverts in our community, which are also the responsibility of the POA, we discovered two culverts in need of replacement. Attached are pictures from recent culvert repairs on Summer Sweet Trail (Vineyard Park) and underneath Cleo Chapman near the entrance drive to the Lake House. The Summer Sweet Trail project was a total culvert collapse that required extensive heavy equipment work.  To Read the Full Report click Read More.

We have lots of reports of bear and cub sightings across the Vineyards, Eastatoe and Falls North.  While the cubs are indeed cute, an encounter can be dangerouse.  Please remember to keep garbage, bird feeders etc. in your garage. it is also important to remind any  contractors working on your property to not leave food waste in dumpsters or on the property.  Bears are always looking for an easy meal and if they find it in your yard they will be visiting you often! If you are walking, be alert and don't forget to look up as mama bears send their cubs up into trees at the first sign of danger.  For more information Click here  To view a video of our Mama Bear and 5 cubs on the 9th Hole, Vineyards Golf Course, June 2023 Click Here

In 2022, South Carolina passed a new law that increases the distance to 200' between a wake surf and a dock, moored boat or person in the water and to 100' between a boat operating above "no wake" speed and a dock (i.e. in excess of idle speed) and to 50' between a boat operating above "no wake" speed and a moored, anchored vessel or person in the water.  To learn more:
