Kapalani Estates
Introduction:
The files contained on this web page provide all the information about the Corporation, the Bylaws and Administrative Rules for operation.
The “Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions for Kapalani Estates” (CC&R’s) describe the corporation, structure and conditions and restrictions placed on lot owners of the association.
The “Bylaws” describe the operating structure of the corporation i.e., the formation of the Board of Directors and Committees and their responsibilities. Additionally, the rules relative to meetings, voting, assessments, and adoption of “Administrative Rules” are included.
The “Administrative Rules” provide the Board of Directors and the Manager with necessary authority to ensure that all owners will be able to enjoy living in Kapalani Estates.
Also included are “Abridged” versions of the CC&R’s and Bylaws which you may find useful. They have non-essential sections removed so that it is easier to read and locate pertinent sections.
Finally, we have included policies for view corridor establishment and maintenance, operating rules for the Architectural Control Committee (ACC) and a Complaint Procedure for aggrieved homeowners.
Taken in total, these documents should serve as the basis for all operations at Kapalani Estates, and can assist homeowners in understanding the basis for past and future decisions by Boards of Directors and the property manager.

In the event of any default in the payment of any portion of such special assessment, the unpaid amount of such special assessment shall bear interest at the rate of twelve percent (12%) per year (or at the highest rate of interest permitted by law) from and after fifteen (15) days following the date on which the same came due.

SECTION 5.6: Failure To Determine Common Expense Any failure by the Board of Directors to determine the Common Expenses for any ensuing fiscal year, or the failure of the Board of Directors to notify any or all of the Owners of the amount of such Common Expenses, shall not be deemed to be a waiver or release of any Lot or of any Owner of any obligation or liability for such Common Expenses.

The Association's lien may be foreclosed by action or by no judicial or power of sale foreclosure procedures, by the Managing Agent or Board of Directors, acting on behalf of the Association, in like manner as a mortgage of real property. In any such foreclosure the Owner shall be required to pay a reasonable rental for the apartment, if so provided in the Bylaws, and the plaintiff in the foreclosure shall be entitled to the appointment of a receiver to collect the rental owed. The Managing Agent or Board of Directors, acting on behalf of the Association, may bid on the apartment at foreclosure sale, and acquire and hold, lease, mortgage, and convey the apartment. Action to recover a money judgment for unpaid common expenses shall be maintainable without foreclosing or waiving the lien securing the unpaid common expenses owed. When the mortgagee of a mortgage of record or other purchaser of an apartment obtains title to the apartment as a result of foreclosure of the mortgage, the acquirer of title and the acquirer's successors and assigns shall not be liable for the share of the common expenses or assessments by the association of apartment owners chargeable to the apartment which became due prior to the acquisition of title to the apartment by the acquirer. The unpaid share of common expenses or assessments shall be deemed to be common expenses collectible from all of the apartment owners, including the acquirer and the acquirer's successors and assigns. The mortgagee of record or other purchaser of the apartment shall be deemed to acquire title and shall be required to pay the apartment's share of common expenses and assessments beginning: (1) Thirty-six days after the order confirming the sale to the purchaser has been filed with the court; (2) Sixty days after the hearing at which the court grants the motion to confirm the sale to the purchaser; or (3) Upon the recording of the deed, whichever occurs first. The Board of Directors of the Association may specially assess the amount of the unpaid regular monthly common assessments for common area expenses against a person who, in a judicial or non-judicial power of sale foreclosure, purchases a delinquent apartment; provided that: ( 2) A person who subsequently purchases the delinquent apartment from the mortgagee referred to in paragraph (1) shall be obligated to make, and shall be liable for, payment of the special assessment; provided that the Association has filed a notice of lien against the delinquent apartment for the unpaid assessments for common area expenses which form the basis of the special assessment, prior to the subsequent purchaser's acquisition of title to the delinquent apartment. Any unpaid assessment remaining against an apartment shall be deemed to be a Common Expense collectable from all Owners, including such acquirer of title, its successors and assigns." As an alternative to foreclosure proceedings, where an apartment is owner occupied, the Association may authorize its Managing Agent or Board of Directors to, after sixty days' written notice to the Owner and to the apartment's first mortgagee of the nonpayment of the apartment's share of the common expenses, terminate the delinquent apartment's access to the Common-Elements and cease supplying a delinquent apartment with any and a" services normally supplied or paid for by the Association. Any terminated services and privileges shall be restored upon payment of a" delinquent assessments." SECTION 5.11: Collection of Rent From Tenants If an Owner shall at any time rent or lease his Lot and shall thereafter be in default in the payment of any common expense, special assessment, or any other payment due the Association, for which his Lot is liable, the Board of Directors may, at its option, and for so long as such default shall continue, demand and receive from such tenant of the Owner up to an amount sufficient to pay all of such payments due the Association, including interest and any attorney’s fees. Any such payment of rent to the Association by such tenant shall be a sufficient discharge of such tenant, as between such tenant and the Owner to the extent of the amount so paid. Such demand for or the acceptance of such rent by the Association from any tenant shall not be deemed to be a release or discharge of any of the obligations that the Owner of the SECTION 5.12: Certificates of Payment The Association shall upon demand, and for a reasonable charge, furnish a certificate signed by an officer of the Association setting forth whether any annual assessment, special assessment, or fine for the violation of an Administrative Rule, is due and payable for a particular Lot, and, if so, the amount thereof, the effective date thereof, and the time or times for the payment thereof. Any such certificate signed by an officer of the Association shall be binding and conclusive upon the Association, and may be relied upon by any person as an accurate statement of the facts shown therein. ARTICLE VI. Association Power to Compel Maintenance of Exterior SECTION 6.1: Board of Directors Disrepair Notice If in the judgment of a majority of the Board of Directors, the Owner of a SECTION 6.2: Board of Directors Power To Make Required Repairs If the Owner fails to commence the work for the Required Repairs within the time specified in the Exterior Lot Maintenance Deficiency Notice, or fails to complete the work for the Required Repairs within the time specified in the Exterior Lot Maintenance Deficiency Notice, the Board of Directors shall have the power to employ a contractor who shall enter the Lot and complete the Required Repairs. The Owner of the Lot shall be obligated to reimburse the Association the sum paid by the Association to complete the Required Repairs, together with interest thereon at the rate of twelve percent (12%) per year (or at the highest rate of interest permitted by law) from the date that the Association paid for the Required Repairs.

Nor shall the receipt by the Association of any payment by an Owner be construed as such a waiver. SECTION 8.2: Notices Any notice permitted or required to be delivered hereunder shall be deemed to have been delivered five days after the deposit of such notice in the mail at the Association’s principal place of business, postage prepaid, addressed to the person entitled to such notice at his last known address on file with the Secretary of the Association.

The purpose of this restriction is to protect the quality and feeling of the neighborhood as a place for families and their guests and to reduce congestion, excessive numbers of vehicles in and around the property, frequency of ingress and egress, and overuse/misuse of common elements which tend to be found where transient, rooming house, or room-by-room rental activities are conducted."

The Association's lien may be foreclosed by action or by no judicial or power of sale foreclosure procedures, by the Managing Agent or Board of Directors, acting on behalf of the Association, in like manner as a mortgage of real property. In any such foreclosure the Owner shall be required to pay a reasonable rental for the apartment, if so provided in the Bylaws, and the plaintiff in the foreclosure shall be entitled to the appointment of a receiver to collect the rental owed. The Managing Agent or Board of Directors, acting on behalf of the Association, may bid on the apartment at foreclosure sale, and acquire and hold, lease, mortgage, and convey the apartment. Action to recover a money judgment for unpaid common expenses shall be maintainable without foreclosing or waiving the lien securing the unpaid common expenses owed. When the mortgagee of a mortgage of record or other purchaser of an apartment obtains title to the apartment as a result of foreclosure of the mortgage, the acquirer of title and the acquirer's successors and assigns shall not be liable for the share of the common expenses or assessments by the association of apartment owners chargeable to the apartment which became due prior to the acquisition of title to the apartment by the acquirer. The unpaid share of common expenses or assessments shall be deemed to be common expenses collectible from all of the apartment owners, including the acquirer and the acquirer's successors and assigns. The mortgagee of record or other purchaser of the apartment shall be deemed to acquire title and shall be required to pay the apartment's share of common expenses and assessments beginning: (1) Thirty-six days after the order confirming the sale to the purchaser has been filed with the court; (2) Sixty days after the hearing at which the court grants the motion to confirm the sale to the purchaser; or (3) Upon the recording of the deed, whichever occurs first. The Board of Directors of the Association may specially assess the amount of the unpaid regular monthly common assessments for common area expenses against a person who, in a judicial or non-judicial power of sale foreclosure, purchases a delinquent apartment; provided that: (1) A purchaser who holds a mortgage on a delinquent apartment that was recorded prior to the filing of a notice of lien by the Association and who acquires the delinquent apartment through a judicial or non-judicial foreclosure proceeding, including purchasing the delinquent apartment at a foreclosure auction, shall not be obligated to make, nor be liable for, payment of the special assessment; and (2) A person who subsequently purchases the delinquent apartment from the mortgagee referred to in paragraph (1) shall be obligated to make, and shall be liable for, payment of the special assessment; provided that the Association has filed a notice of lien against the delinquent apartment for the unpaid assessments for common area expenses which form the basis of the special assessment, prior to the subsequent purchaser's acquisition of title to the delinquent apartment. The amount of the special assessment assessed under the preceding sub-paragraph shall not exceed the total amount of unpaid regular monthly common assessments that were assessed during the six months immediately preceding the completion of the judicial or non-judicial power of sale foreclosure, and for which the Association had filed a notice of lien against the delinquent apartment. In no event shall the amount of the special assessment exceed the sum of $1,800. Any unpaid assessment remaining against an apartment shall be deemed to be a Common Expense collectable from all Owners, including such acquirer of title, its successors and assigns." SECTION 5.10: Personal Liability Each Owner shall be personally liable for the amount of any Common Expense assessment or special assessment against his Lot. The Association shall have the right to enforce such personal liability of an Owner by an action for a money judgment for the unpaid amount of any such assessment. As an alternative to foreclosure proceedings, where an apartment is owner¬ occupied, the Association may authorize its Managing Agent or Board of Directors to, after sixty days' written notice to the Owner and to the apartment's first mortgagee of the nonpayment of the apartment's share of the common expenses, terminate the delinquent apartment's access to the Common-Elements and cease supplying a delinquent apartment with any and a" services normally supplied or paid for by the Association. Any terminated services and privileges shall be restored upon payment of a" delinquent assessments." SECTION 5.11: Collection of Rent From Tenants If an Owner shall at any time rent or lease his Lot and shall thereafter be in default in the payment of any common expense, special assessment, or any other payment due the Association, for which his Lot is liable, the Board of Directors may, at its option, and for so long as such default shall continue, demand and receive from such tenant of the Owner up to an amount sufficient to pay all of such payments due the Association, including interest and any attorney’s fees. Any such payment of rent to the Association by such tenant shall be a sufficient discharge of such tenant, as between such tenant and the Owner to the extent of the amount so paid. Such demand for or the acceptance of such rent by the Association from any tenant shall not be deemed to be a release or discharge of any of the obligations that the Owner of the SECTION 5.12: Certificates of Payment The Association shall upon demand, and for a reasonable charge, furnish a certificate signed by an officer of the Association setting forth whether any annual assessment, special assessment, or fine for the violation of an Administrative Rule, is due and payable for a particular Lot, and, if so, the amount thereof, the effective date thereof, and the time or times for the payment thereof. Any such certificate signed by an officer of the Association shall be binding and conclusive upon the Association, and may be relied upon by any person as an accurate statement of the facts shown therein.

ARCHITECTURAL CONTROL COMMITTEE
PROCEDURAL and SUBSTANTIVE RULES
The Board established rudimentary rules for the conduct of the Architectural Control Committee (ACC) in the 1980’s, but there has not been any further direction from the Board, other than a View Corridor Maintenance Policy, enacted in 2010. This policy is intended to update the procedural and substantive rules for the ACC. Upon its adoption by the Board, all previous policies will be null and void.
Section 3:11 of the CC&R’s designates the Board of Directors as the entity to establish procedural rules which the (ACC) shall follow in the conduct of its affairs in arriving at its decisions. Section
The Board will appoint members to the ACC, and replace members at the conclusion of their terms or early departures, consistent with CC&R guidelines. The ACC shall consist of three members, two of whom shall also be members of the Board.
An owner may plant, re-level and landscape his entire lot, at his own expense, provided his plans for this work are approved by the ACC. The committee shall pay particular attention to view corridors as detailed in the By-Laws, and the maintenance of the park like atmosphere of the entire estate. Additional consideration shall be give to any additional work such landscaping could cause for the association’s gardeners, who will be responsible for its maintenance.
The ACC will evaluate any request by a homeowner to alter the exterior of his property, whether to the structure or to the landscaping. Homeowners wishing to receive approval from the committee shall present a diagram depicting any proposed changes to the ACC. The ACC shall review the drawing and conduct a site survey to evaluate the appropriateness of the alterations. The ACC should always consider the impact proposed alterations may have on the owner’s neighbors. The ACC shall also review the proposed plans for potential impact of view corridors of other properties within Kapalani Estates. The ACC shall, as appropriate, advise the neighbors of the proposed alterations, and may seek their input. However, the approval or denial of the proposed alteration shall ultimately be at the sole discretion of the ACC, subject to oversight by the Board. The two members of the Board who also sit on the ACC shall ensure that all Board members are fully apprised of potential projects before they have commenced.
Decisions will be based on the guidance provided in the CC&R’s Article III, Section 3.1 thru 3.14, and Section 4.3. The CC&R’s are the basis for the physical appearance of all homes and landscaping. A harmonious design and appearance for all structures and landscaping shall be enforced. The committee may hire outside consultants for advice, but only after having received approval from the Board.
The ACC will make decisions based on a majority vote and sign and date the diagram provided by the homeowner. The property manager will maintain a file of all requests for alterations to include the decisions by the ACC. All members of the ACC must sign and date the diagram, whether approving or rejecting the proposal. At the time the ACC presents its diagrams to the Board, the president shall also sign the diagram as an acknowledgement that the Board has been fully briefed on the proposal. If the homeowner is anxious to start the requested changes the ACC will request a special Board meeting to obtain the acknowledgment of the Board and the signature of the Board president.
The ACC will report to the Board at every scheduled meeting as to its activities, approvals and denials. The Board will act as the master of the ACC and may override decisions of the committee at its discretion.
If an owner violates these restrictions, the ACC may have the offending shrub, tree or land-fill removed at the owner’s expense.
VIEW PRESERVATION RESOLUTION The Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions for Kapalani Estates provides basis for our Association's power and efforts to preserve views. We recognize view preservation requires a balancing of competing interests. In the case of building heights, specific limits were set by the CC&R's, exhibit 3. Much less certainty is evident with respect to view preservation and related landscaping restrictions. The Architectural Control Committee was directed to maintain view corridors within the property once they were established and defined. The term "view corridor" has not been described or defined by the Board, and the term "maintain" does not provide dear direction as to its meaning in the view preservation context. Throughout the 26 year history of Kapalani Estates, the issue of view preservation has been under the control of the Architectural Control Committee as a servant of the Board, but a foundation for predictability has beenlacking. As landscaping has matured over the years, there is evidence of many trees that now interfere with the "view corridors" mainly toward the ocean. Additionally, through the years many homeowners have planted trees and shrubs without approval from the Architectural Control Committee. These combined events have resulted in each homeowner's view corridor, to some extent, being impacted by both approved and unapproved trees. The following paragraphs are intended to further establish Kapalani Estates regulations as they relate to view preservation. henceforth. These regulations will be restated in the By-laws. 1. The lot sizes and layouts have been designed to take the best possible advantage of the view facing toward the northerly ocean outlook. Therefore, every homeowner either has a view corridor or has the potential for a view corridor. The term Ilview corridor" shall mean a view of the ocean from one or more significant areas from the dwelling such as living rooms, kitchens, decks, master bedrooms. The Board will establish a baseline of these views by photographing the ocean view from each home. This photographic record will serve as a touchstone for future evaluation of encroaching/offending trees, shrubs, etc. 2. Existing trees that have been previously approved cannot be removed without the owner's permission and unapproved trees or shrubs previously planted may remain in place, effective the date of adoption of these regulations by the Board. This is a one time only amnesty for unapproved trees and shrubs. 3. Where view corridors are currently partially obstructed, the KELOA Homeowners Association encourages inaividual homeowners to work with their neighbors to cut back trees or voluntarily remove offending trees, when feasible and mutually agreeable. The offending tree may be replaced by the lot owner at his/her option and expense with a smaller tree or other planting with Architectural Control Committee approval. 4. The Architectural Control Committee is instructed to canvas the entire grounds regularly and identify trees and shrubs that require pruning and to provide a list to the property manager, the Board on a quarterly basis, and affected property owners. If the property owner objects to the trimming/pruning of his/her tree or shrub, he/she may appeal to the Board. Upon notice by the property manager, a resident has five business days to appeal to the Board by way of the property manager. The Board will set up a hearing for the protesting resident within 30 days. The Board will notify the protesting resident of its findings in writing. 5. The property manager shall, upon receipt of the list, and after five business days of having notified owners of the recommended trimming/pruning, promptly ensure that sufficient trimming/pruning takes place so as to maximize view corridors. 6. If the committee decides to allow new planting of trees within a view corridor, the factors listed below in Paragraph 8 shall be considered, but the decision to allow any new planting of trees shall be within the sole discretion of the Architectural Control Committee subject to appeal to the Board. 7. The Architectural Control Committee shall retain the sole discretion of when trees and shrubs should be trimmed or pruned. If individual homeowners object to the pruning schedule they may appeal to the Board. See #4 for appeal timelines and procedure. 8. In the determination of landscaping approvals or view preservation landscaping decisions, the Board or Architectural Control Committee shall consider the quality of the view (the extent of the view - whether it is major or minor), the gercentage to which a granting blocks or would gotentially block one or more view corridors, whether one or several lots enioy the view, whether other offsite landscaging or other obstructions obscure the view, whether the view is from a grime use of the dwelling, deck, or area frequently inhabited. It is also acknowledged that larger trees are beneficial in accomplishing the directive to the Architectural Control Committee to maintain "a gark like atmosghere", that larger trees such as palms and other larger trees should be disgersed throughout the groperty on aU lots. and that such trees are likely to cause incremental ocean view obstruction. However, new coconut and palm trees should be very carefully evaluated for their potential to block views and denied if the potential would To: Homeowners KELOA From: Architectural Control Committee (ACC) Subject: View Corridor Inspection On October 26, 2009 the ACC did its first walk around and inspection of potential view corridors for all homeowners. The purpose of the inspection was to identify trees and shrubs that require trimming in order to maximize each homeowner's potential view corridor. The below list includes homeowners whose trees or shrubs have been identified by the ACC as requiring some level of trimming. Upon receipt of this list each homeowner has five business days to appeal the decision of the ACC to the KELOA Board. If, after five business days, the property manager has not heard of a potential appeal, he will ensure the listed trees or shrubs are trimmed. Once all trimming occurs, the ACC will do another walk around. Photos will be taken of each homeowner's view and it will serve as a baseline for all future view corridor decisions. The ACC also requested Jim Maulin to contact some homeowners to solicit their cooperation in replacing selected trees to enhance the overall view ofKELOA. Additionally, the ACC asked Jim to remove an old Kau tree on common property between the Storey's and Greggs. Finally, Stan Gregg has already committed to removing the tallest palm tree, closest to his house, and to further trimming back the plumeria tree to the rear of his property. Trees to be trimmed: Petersons' orchid tree to the makai side of their property and their plumeria tree in the front of their house Wards' plumeria tree Keller's orchid tree to the makai side of her property Kellys' kau tree Storeys' ficus tree Please bear with us as we work through this process. We are attempting to make decisions based on the overall benefit of Kapalani Estates. Compromises will be necessary to make this work for all. Thank you for your cooperation.
