A copy of the Rules and Regulations must be permanently placed in the Resident Manager’s Office.

C. Any owners, tenants, or guests displaying disruptive behavior may be asked by the Managing Agent or the Board of Directors to leave the premises for their own safety or for the safety of others. If the request is not followed, the police may be called by the Resident Manager, or other residents, to have such persons removed. It is imperative that the safety, comfort and goodwill of all residents be considered and protected at all times.

2. OCCUPANCY

Except for owners and/or occupants whose pets are grandfathered under the provisions of the 1993 By-Laws amendment, no livestock, poultry, birds, or animals (including dogs and/or cats) whatsoever shall be allowed to be kept in any part of the project. At no time will pets be brought onto the project by non-occupants.

The Association accommodates assistance animals as required under federal and state law. All requests for reasonable accommodations in the form of an assistance animal should be submitted to the Board of Directors of the Association via the Association’s Managing Agent, either in writing or verbally.
The Association reserves the right to verify requests for reasonable accommodation in the form of assistance animals by engaging in an interactive process with the requestor, for the purpose of verifying that:
a. The individual has a disability, as defined in Hawaii or federal statutes, provided that medical records, access to health care providers, a diagnosis, nature or severity of the individual’s disability is not requested; and
b. If the disability related need for an assistance animal is not readily apparent, verification that the assistance animal is needed to alleviate one or more symptoms of the individual’s disability.

Whenever an assistance animal is in the common areas of the Association it must be under the control of the animal’s owner or handler by use of a harness, leash, tether, cage, or other means of physical control. If the nature of the person’s disability makes physical control impracticable, or if physical control would interfere with the assistance that the animal is providing, the assistance animal must be under the control of the animal’s owner or handler by voice control, signals, or other effective means.
Owners of assistance animals are responsible for cleaning up after their animals and discarding securely bagged pet droppings in garbage bins. Assistance animals shall not be permitted to relieve themselves in the common areas of the Association.

ADDENDUM B
CRITERIA FOR AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM INSTALLATION
Criteria for Mini Split A/C System Installation
The Board of Directors has been diligently looking at avenues whereby a general approval for installation would be given when a set of criteria is complied with.

3. Condenser Width shall not exceed 37 inches and should be no more than 6 inches from the wall*
4. Condenser Depth shall not exceed 16 inches from the innermost portion of the Lanai*
5. Each unit is allowed one condenser on the front Lanai. Condensers are not allowed on the back Lanai, if you have a 2 bedroom*
6. Condenser must be mounted so that the air flow is toward the railing or open area of the Lanai*

*Any and all replacements must be submitted to the Board of Directors for approval before installation.

Window A/C’s in Bedrooms
We have also, reevaluated the criteria for Window Air Conditioners as follows:
1. Must be manufacturer rated at 55 decibels (dB) or lower, those with no dB rating are unacceptable. Proof of decibel shall be submitted before installation.

4. Must be mounted flush with the jalousie window
5. Must be installed so that appearance is neat and clean

Portable Air Conditioners
We have also added criteria for the use of Portable Air Conditioners listed below:

ADDENDUM B
CRITERIA FOR AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM INSTALLATION
Criteria for Mini Split A/C System Installation

Window A/C’s in Bedrooms

Tables & BarBQ area
Due to what this management considered abuse by guests and outsiders, it has been determined by them to remove all but 2 tables. So it's now first come first serve. If you want a guaranteed place at the tables, you have to be there before 5pm
Tables were getting a bit old and worn out after all these years
From a distance this is what we were using and their dark brown color
This is what we ended up with after the painting. The light green color matches the trim on our buildings. This confirms ownership to visitors and aids in privacy concerns.

The Surf Rider Foundation
THE SURFRIDER FOUNDATION’S OAHU CHAPTER PRESENTSTHE 9th ANNUAL JOHN KELLY ENVIRONMENTAL AWARDS PARTY Honolulu, O’ahu
(Nov. 7, 2011): On Saturday, December 3rd, the Surfrider Foundation’s O’ahu Chapter will present the 9th Annual John Kelly Environmental Achievement Awards. The celebration will be held at Waimea Valley Pavilion and will feature live music from the Intire Project and a few surprise guests. Tickets are $60 for general admission, $75 at the door and sponsor tables begin at $750. All proceeds will benefit Surfrider’s O’ahu Chapter and their efforts to preserve our coasts. The ceremony is in honor of John Kelly, the legendary waterman and environmental leader who started Save Our Surf and fought to protect Hawai‘i’s coastlines from overdevelopment. Kelly and SOS helped to save 140 surf sites on O’ahu and around the state, while also stopping many destructive developments. Following in his wake, Surfrider’s O’ahu Chapter has worked with other organizations to help preserve Pūpūkea-Paumalu (aka, Save Sunset Beach), Kaka’ako Park and Waimea Valley. The party will feature spirits from Barefoot Wine & Bubbly and a variety of local beers courtesy of Kona Brewing Company. Other sponsors include RevoluSun, Brett & Dee Thomas at Surf 4 Hugs, First Wind, Patagonia, the Kokua Foundation Hawaii, Green Magazine and Nella Media Group. Former Lifetime Achievement Award winner Mark Cunningham will serve as the evening’s emcee. This year’s awardees have done inspiring work to improve their communities and protect our marine environment. Cora Sanchez will be given the Lifetime Achievement Award for her efforts in helping to create the Pūpūkea-Waimea Marine Life Conservation District (MLCD). Cora was also a co-founder of Surfrider’s O’ahu Chapter (along with former winner Peter Cole) and the Friends of Shark’s Cove.

Kyle Thiermann will be given the Professional Surfer Award for creating a five-part video series, Surfing for Change, to encourage individuals to change their life habits to help save the environment. Kyle’s video “Where Is Away? Solving Plastic Pollution in 4 Minutes” shows how wasteful and destructive single-use plastics are to the marine environment and encourages people to bring their own reusable bags and bottles.

Rock Wall
Before we get into the pictures of the wall, I would like to extend a personal mahalo to those that donated funds to make this wall happen:
Terry & Kathy McGaughan, Paul & Lauren Martin, Al & Babe DaSilva all for their very generous support.
This is the entrance to Parking Lot B after the lights have been installed.
As an extension and completion of our fence project, it was determined that a rock wall would complete the project. The Board looked at various designs and determined that this one would look the best.
The next two pictures are the completed walls to Parking lot A
These next two pics are the completed entrance walls to Parking lot B
Here's a view of the walkway from inside the property looking towards Haleiwa Rd.
This is one look at the right side of entry at Parking lot B before we built the planter.
Rock wall parking lot B right side on entry
Parking lot B left side 2nd view
The Walkway before the wall
Beginning of right side parking lot A. I removed the hibiscus plant here on the end where the rock wall would be seen and transplanted it by the walkway where there were voids in the hedge.
Beginning of left side parking lot A
Here is where I removed the hibiscus plant from where the wall was being built as it would have blocked the view of the wall. I also removed a crouton plant along the left side of the wall and transplanted it. There is a need for about 4 more hibiscus plants in this area (as seen in the next picture). The next picture is where we did the transplanting of the hibiscus.
