PREFACE These Design Guidelines are intended to provide guidance for all Homeowner residential development and construction—new buildings, building additions, site work and landscaping—as well as any subsequent changes or alterations to previously approved plans or existing homes. The Guidelines will be administered and enforced by the Kohanaiki Design Review Committee (DRC) in accordance with procedures set forth in the Kohanaiki Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&R’s) recorded with the State of Hawai‘i, and as may be amended thereafter. In the event of any conflict between Design Guidelines and CC&R’s, the CC&R’s shall govern and control. The Guidelines may be amended from time to time

KOHANAIKI DE SIGN GUIDELINE S
CHAPTER 1
THE KOHANAIKI PLAN AND DESIGN PHILOSOPHY
A place of great historical significance, Kohanaiki and neighboring KalokoHonokohau was a thriving Hawaiian village up until the early 19th century. The fishermen of the seacoast considered this land especially valuable because of the extensive fishponds, natural landing areas for canoes, and bountiful fishing grounds just offshore. These early residents flourished along the shoreline gathering fish, drying and salting it with their harvest from the sea flats in times of celebration, and frolicking in one of the Kona Coast’s best surf breaks. This rich history, reflected in numerous petroglyphs and preserved archaeological sites, offers a glimpse of times past. For many people today, the sea, ponds and sun-drenched shore of Kohanaiki offers a similar opportunity afforded the ancients – providing food, comfort, and the ability to rejuvenate and reconnect with what is important in our lives. Kohanaiki – a beach Community with a world class golf course, renowned surfing and seamless connection to the sea – is such a place.
7
1.1 The Kohanaiki Community The Kohanaiki Community was created to allow its residents the opportunity to experience the true Hawai‘i— informal, gregarious, outdoor oriented and filled with aloha. The Community Plan and the ideas expressed in these Guidelines were born of this spirit and of a deep respect for the land. To build a home that truly is of Hawai‘i, it is important to first understand the land, the Community history and its people. A careful analysis of the land and an understanding of the early cultural influences that helped shape the Kona Coast led to a plan with the following elements: 1. THE SHORELINE PRESERVE
2. VIEW CORRIDORS
This is the area where the first inhabitants of

sites, anchialine ponds, and the beach itself with its dramatic rock outcrops, will be viewed as a natural preserve easily accessible to all residents. Shoreline and pond setbacks, view corridor protection and special landscape criteria for homes adjacent to this area combine to ensure that the image of the beach at Kohanaiki will continue to look much like it did to the first Hawaiian inhabitants.
To achieve this goal, Lot View Corridors have been established to minimize visual obstruction of ocean views between buildings. Controls on building locations, as well as restrictions on the height and type of landscaping permitted, are detailed in this document with the intent of generally preserving ocean views. At Kohanaiki we are committed to View Corridors for most Lots, but any negative impact to any Owner’s view shall not provide a basis for any claim or cause of action, or create any obligation on the part of the Declarant, the Association, or the Owner of any private amenity as defined in the CC&Rs.

Those portions of Lots that have designated areas for special landscape treatment, such as streetscapes, archaeological sites, the golf course, significant lava features or large slopes, have been placed within a landscape easement. In some cases, the easement area may have been landscaped by the Developer and/or the Association. In these areas owners and their construction teams are required to protect the existing landscape or restore landscape that has been damaged by the Owners’ construction. Unless approved by the DRC, these areas are restricted from any development or disturbance (including paths, patios, buildings, landscape structures and/or grading) in order to preserve the natural or recreated landscape. Those lots with Golf Landscape Easements require the Homeowner to get approval from Golf management as well as the DRC if their improvements are within the easement. Those lots with archeological features and easements on them may at times have Kohanaiki’s specialized archeological site maintenance team access said areas for the purpose of trash removal, weed control, invasive plant removal, etc. Property owners, and private residential landscapes should not enter cultural sites without express permission from the Kohanaiki Cultural team and/or DRC.
Community Utility Easements Some Lots have Community Utility easements within the side yard Transition Areas. Although these easements fall within the Transition Area, no structure, with the exception of privacy walls, are allowed in Community Utility easements. Landscaping is allowed per the side yard landscaping requirements. All Improvements built within Community Utility easements are at risk

2.16.3 K AHAK AI LOT PL ANTING GUIDELINES Special Planting Requirements for Kahakai Lots Coconut Palm Planting - The Community landscape design concept calls for the establishment of an informal, visually permeable coconut grove throughout many of the Kahakai Lots to create coastal landscape identity. To this end the Developer will be planting informal groupings of coconut palms along the shoreline, in some Common Areas adjacent to the shoreline and at the Beach Club. To complete this landscape so that each Residence is nestled within the grove, and maintain ocean views for Makai Lots, Owners on the above Lots will be required to plant coconuts in accordance with the following requirements: · A maximum of 7 coconut palms per Lot are allowed. Additional coconut palms may be allowed by the DRC if, in their opinion, there are no impacts to views from Lots or Common Areas. Utilizing Samoan or Dwarf Coconut palms as part of this requirement is strongly encouraged. · 50% of the required number of coconuts to be planted must have a trunk height of 10-16 feet.
38
KOHANAIKI DE SIGN GUIDELINE S
· A maximum of 20% of the total number of coconuts planted on the Lot can be the same trunk height. · Palm placement shall be informal and random, emulating a natural grove. · Coconut Palm Maintenance Frequency and Pruning Guidelines: Coconut Palms on Kohanaiki should be pruned 3-4 times per year to ensure fruit and flowers are removed before maturing to a larger size. Additionally, in order to achieve a uniform aesthetic for all Coconut Palms on property, fronds should be pruned wherein they maintain a “10 o’clock – 2 o’clock position.” This is interpreted as if the fronds were superimposed on a clock face, they would be pointing to the 10:00 am and 2:00 pm positions. Shrub and Groundcover Planting - The Community landscape design concept calls for the creation of a naturalistic, native Hawaiian landscape along the shoreline. To this end, Kahakai Lots are required to utilize native shoreline plant species, as provided for in Appendix B - Approved Plant List, placed informally along their makai edge. These plantings are required to be maintained in their natural growth habit—trimming into hedge forms is not allowed. As one progresses to the street side of the Lot, planting that is more tropical in character is allowed as long as it is within the approved landscape area and irrigation water budgets. Care in selecting and locating these species shall be utilized. Incorporation of preserved lava outcrops surrounded by a simple ground plane of sand, a single groundcover or turf is encouraged.

CHAPTER 3
ARCHITECTURAL GUIDELINES
The following architectural standards have been developed to achieve the environmental, Community and aesthetic objectives for Kohanaiki. The intent of these Guidelines is to encourage a diversity of design solutions while at the same time producing high quality homes that are appropriate for the Community. Homeowners and Designers are encouraged to review the portfolio of examples of appropriately designed homes which is available from the DRC office which clearly illustrates the styles and quality that are in keeping with Kohanaiki.
47
3.1 Architectural Design Objectives The following are the main objectives for architectural design at Kohanaiki: · To create buildings appropriate to a casual, outdoor tropical lifestyle. · To design buildings that seem to “grow out” of

reconnection to occur. Using materials appropriate to the natural and cultural context, buildings also connect with the environment, resting gently upon the land. This effortless connection between shelter and the natural landscape that is the hallmark of vernacular architecture is also the goal of the new homes for Kohanaiki. Set within lush tropical vegetation, these homes will be subtle architectural responses to the Hawaiian climate, views and landforms.
Architectural Styles for Kohanaiki Hawai‘i is blessed with a rich architectural legacy, with the simple thatched shelters of the first Hawaiians, the practical structures of the early missionaries, and the elegant and understated buildings of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Some of these homes are best exemplified by Charles Dickey's architectural designs, which continue to provide inspiration today. It is from this deep and often eclectic heritage that four specific architectural styles are encouraged for design inspiration at Kohanaiki—The Kama’aina Home, the Plantation Home, the Hawaiian Craftsman Bungalow and the Pacific Island Home. Descriptions of these styles can be found in the additional readings.

Guidelines · All buildings will be designed as four-sided architecture; i.e. sides and rear elevations will be designed with the same level of detail as street elevations. · Color and the use of authentic materials will be used to reinforce architectural style.
3.3.1 BUILDING MATERIALS AND CONSTRUCTION TECHNIQUES Materials and construction techniques are to be high quality, durable and proven in similar shoreline applications. Emphasis on natural materials and muted colors is essential. In order to create an intimate residential scale and not dominate the landscape, long, unbroken walls and roofs, large, smooth surfaces and severe

With certain materials, such as stucco, this multi-hued quality may be achieved through surface texture and quality. Color and Architecture Style: Color is an important component to creating authenticity in architectural style. Accordingly, general hue and LRV ranges have been identified for the architectural styles at Kohanaiki. Below are the styles and the appropriate color approaches. Obviously, all potential colors that may be submitted cannot be anticipated so Designers are strongly encouraged to discuss their color approach with the DRC during the Concept stage of design.
· Colors for large field application shall be a combination or layering of two or three colors to achieve a “multi- hued” quality, which changes with light and shadow, rather than a “flat” appearance. Large, monochromatic surfaces are not acceptable. · Colors for large field application shall be recessive in value, while accent color, used in limited areas, may “advance” towards the viewer. · Exterior hardscape colors shall be complementary to exterior home colors. · Changes in exterior wall color shall be made at “interior” intersections of walls. Roofs: In general, colors for roofing shall be darker in color or hue than the building’s exterior walls. Medium to dark browns and greys with an LRV of 26 or lower are acceptable.
The DRC will consider color in the context of the entire Community as well as the individual Residence for submission.

CHAPTER 5
DESIGN REVIEW PROCESS
This section provides a guide for the Design Review Process for Kohanaiki. The process involves a series of meetings between the Builder/Partner, their design team and the DRC. The process begins with an informal introductory meeting and concludes with the completion of construction. Along the way are a series of meetings designed to ensure a smooth and efficient review of the building and site design. The DRC is committed to assisting the Builder/ Partner through the Design Review Process and shall be thought of as a member of the Builder/Partner’s design team as opposed to a regulatory review agency.
73
5.1 Overview of Design Review Process Improvement plans will be carefully reviewed by the DRC to ensure that the proposed design is compatible with the design intent at Kohanaiki. This Design Review Process must be followed for any of the following Improvements: · Construction of all new buildings; · The renovation, expansion or refinishing of the exterior of an existing building; · Major site and/or landscape improvements (including pools, driveways and/or culverts); · Construction of, or additions to, fences or enclosure structures, and; · Installation of Solar.
