The Association Documents/Design page contains guidelines and request forms for architectural modifications. Homeowners are required to obtain approval from the Association’s Board of Directors prior to making any exterior modifications or improvements to their home or lot. Failure to follow the Architectural Modification Guidelines will be considered a violation of the governing documents and will be subject to fines and legal action at the owner’s expense.

Please study policies relating to your specific type of modification in the Association’s Bylaws, Rules and Regulations, and Architectural Modifications Guidelines prior to submitting your request. Be sure to submit all relevant forms and information requested. Delays in the approval process are generally caused by lack of sufficient detail, illustrations, and samples, or non-compliance with guidelines.

Materials submitted should show style, appearance, color, and materials being used. Brochures should be clearly marked to indicate specific item(s) to be used. Drawings must include detailed measurements and exact placement on the house or in relation to the house and lot boundaries. House addition floor plans must be superimposed over the site plan, which may be obtained from the Bureau of Conveyances or Hawaii Blueprint. Site plans may show gray shaded areas, generally along the rear boundary of the lot; this is the EPC (Environmental Protective Corridors) referred to in the House Rules. Most, but not all lots have EPC’s.

Requests must be submitted to Hawaiian Properties for review by the Association’s Board of Directors. Approval must be obtained prior to commencement of any modification.
