Kepuhi Beach House Rules
A Homeowner asked me tonight where they could find the house rules.
The House rules are on the Documents/Policies page, which is a sub page of this page. Here's a Link to the House Rules.
2023
February 23, 2023 - Board Meeting
February 24, 2023 - Homeowners Meeting
Location - Kualapuu Recreational Center
1 Uwao St
Ho'olehua, HI
We are going to try a new venue for this meeting. The Maunaloa Community Center has very poor acoustics, so we're going to try
the Recreational Center at Ho'olehua instead. The location has acoustic tiles in the ceiling and the internet is much stronger at this location, which will be a plus if our by-laws can be changed to allow online meetings. It's a little further to drive, but we hope it will be worth the drive.
Phil, Craig & Jeff’s term in office will be complete, since they were voted in during the 2021 Homeowners Meeting.
West Molokai Association
The West Molokai Association, is an association for everyone on the west end. The Cost per household is $50 a year. For more information check out their website.
Keys for Emergencies
All Owners are requested to supply the Resort Manager with a key to their unit (for emergency access) that will be kept under lock and key. If no key is provided and an emergency arises, access will be gained by whatever means necessary and the Owner will assume responsibility for all costs.
Manager/Board Mailbox
Manager/Board Mailbox – The mailbox outside the office door is for owners that have renovation requests, suggestions or submittals for the Board or Resort Manager. Please put all letters in a sealed envelope, & address to the intended recipient for security and privacy purposes. For email to the appropriate contact person.
Sunshades
In order to keep the resort looking uniform, the board has approved exterior roll-up sunshades are allowed to be used on lanais.
The approved Product is made by Coolaroo , in the color, Walnut.
All shades must be the roller shade type with the hand crank capability for a convenient cordless operation.
When the lanai is not being used sunshades must be rolled up neatly. Sunshades must be kept in good physical condition at all times. Upper units should install sunshades so they are hidden by the overhang of the roof line when rolled up. Lower units must install them on the front-most beam of the lanai ceiling.
Louvers
The Association will pay 50% for the wood/materials and contract the installation for new wooden louvers. The mechanisms are the sole responsibility of the Homeowner.
The purchase and installation cost for Glass Louvers is solely the homeowners responsibility. The board will approve Glass Louvers manufactured by Breezeway
Pest Control
Pest control will be conducted on the last two (2) Tuesdays of every month (with the exception of holidays) allowing us to treat the entire property every month between the hours of 9:00am to 2:00pm.
2nd from the last Tuesday of every month:
Buildings 13-17, 24 and 25

The apartment and surrounding area will be treated by one of our crew members and accompanied by the Resort Manager or Security. This also includes refilling rodent bait stations around the property.

How the Complex Units Numbers are assigned
Have you ever wondered how the county assigned our unit number for our complex? How Unit 2185’s county unit number is 16B11, me too. So here’s what I’ve found out from our Founding documents.
There are three building types in our Complex:
The Building Type is the third Number in the county numbering system. example - 16B11
A Buildings are the Buildings that have 8 units in them, they are the buildings that contain the 1 bedroom units.
B Buildings are the Buildings that have 12 units in them, all considered Studios.
C Buildings are the Cottages, they have 2 one bedroom units in them.
So now that you know that, why don’t the building numbers line up. Well, the county, started at Cottage one and then circled the complex. The Building Number is the first two digits in the county numbering system. 16B11
County Building # KBR Building #
01 1
02 2
03 3
04 24
05 25
06 4
07 5
08 6
09 7
10 8
11 23
12 22
13 21
14 20
15 19
16 18
17 17
18 16
19 15
20 14
21 13
Now how do we number the last two numbers (16B11 ), well that’s done in the B buildings where the lower level units are 1 - 6 and the upper units are 7 -12. The same applies for the A Buildings, the lower level units are 1-4 and the upper units are 5-8.
Now in all their wisdom, the Storage Lockers are assigned by KBR Building Number and then ABCD going from left to right, rather than right to left like the units are numbered. I've heard, but have not verified that the Storage Lockers were originally used by the maids to store there equipment and linens.
Weighted Voting
Weighted Voting:
How are the HOA fees set up, why do the Cottage and One Bedrooms pay more than the Studios. The answer lies in the amount of voting power the units have.
Type #Units Vote Total Common Interest
A - Studio 24 .6 14.4
A - One Bedroom 24 .8 19.2
B - Studio 84 .6 50.4
C - One Bedroom 16 _______1 ________ 16__
148 100%
HOA fees are directly proportional to the amount of voting power a unit has.
Due to the recent increase in Homeowners Fees it’s been brought up that the fee’s, and I suppose voting powers should be figured by unit square footage, because the upper studio units that have added loft bedrooms are not paying enough in the opinion of some owners. However, in all fairness, the lofted units should then have an additional voting percentage as well and the lower studio percentage would have to be reduced to stay within 100 votes total.
We believe that there are 40 units that have a bed in the lofted area, there are 56 units that have permanent stairs to a second level in the unit, not sure what the second level is used for. Does any unit that has a loft need to pay for that square footage even if it’s not a bedroom area?
A change to square footage would require a Founding Documents Change, which I’m told is a very difficult change and rather costly thing to do.
So what’s another idea to make HOA fees more fair is to have fee’s based on the amount of time the unit is occupied. A large portion of our budget is utilities and the units that are occupied more use more electric, water and propane. That would require Homeowners to report unit occupancy. Unit occupancy would be very helpful to know when trying to figure things like water, electric and propane bill fluctuations. Our complex was built like a Hotel, so there is currently no way to meter each unit without spending a significant amount of money to change our basic infrastructure.
There could be lots of ways to try to make HOA fees more fair, but as you can see it gets all very complicated very fast. Enforcing our House Rules, Renovations rules and whatnot gets complicated very fast. The goal of our current board is to try our best to apply the same rules to every homeowner. We encourage your thoughts and hope that in the future you will consider running for the board and continue to improve the great complex we are all a part of.
