PUAMANA COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION
OFFICIAL RULES
EFFECTIVE AUGUST 14, 2009
Forward
The Puamana Community Association (“PCA”) has formulated these Rules “…so as to
provide the enjoyment of the Common Properties by every Member in a manner
consistent with the preservation of quiet enjoyment of the Lot and Living Unit by every
Owner.” These words are from the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and
Restrictions, Article IV, Section 3(f), dated May 1968.
According to the Bylaws, Article XIII, Section 5, dated April 2002, “The Board of
Directors shall from time to time adopt and publish a Schedule of Maximum Fines for
Rule and Regulation Violations which shall prescribe the maximum fine that may be
imposed for the violation of any Rule or Regulation.” For serious violations (e.g.,
violations posing a risk to health or safety) no notice will be necessary prior to the
imposition of fines. The Board of Directors has empowered the General Manager, and it
is his duty, to enforce all Rules. He may at his discretion designate members of his staff
to assist him in the enforcement of certain Rules, including contract security personnel
hired for this purpose. The General Manager should insure that contract security
personnel are familiar with these Rules and that they are expected to report Rule
violations as part of their normal duties. The General Manager shall impose fines in
accordance with the Official Rules, subject only to appeal to the Board as described
herein. Fines must be paid before they can be appealed to the Board. The General
Manager may call upon local enforcement agencies for assistance whenever someone
within the physical limits of PCA properties is disturbing or threatening others, misusing
facilities or common areas, or is suspected of committing a crime.
The basic rules for any dwelling can be simply stated as common sense practice in the
consideration of others in order to create a friendly, pleasant atmosphere. The PCA
appeals to all owners and their guests to adhere to all of these Official Rules and also
demonstrate reasonable tolerance of others because of the close proximity in which we
live.
The PCA Rules state the responsibilities of everyone on the premises. The Rules take into
consideration the desires of the owners and their guests, and are subject to revision from
time-to-time by the PCA Board of Directors, the final arbiters of any disputes or
misunderstandings arising from these Rules. The Rules apply to all owners, occupants,
guests, employees and other persons using the property. Each owner is responsible to see
that all occupants of his/her living unit, guests, employees and other persons using the
property are made aware of these Rules.
1. Procedures for Problems and Complaints
Except for emergencies, all complaints should be in writing signed and addressed
to the General Manager. Suggestions are also welcomed and should also be
addressed to the General Manager.
2. Emergency Telephone Numbers
In case of bodily injury, theft or fire, the emergency number 911 should be dialed
and the problem stated to the emergency operator. After the 911 call, Security
should be contacted at 667-5383, regardless of the time of day.
General Information
1. Car Registration
For the purposes of this document, a Puamana Occupant is defined as a
homeowner, or a tenant whether long term or short term, or overnight guests of
either homeowner or tenant, whether family or friend. All Puamana Occupants
must register their vehicle or if not driving a vehicle, then Occupant should notify
the PCA office of their arrival on the next business day for security purposes.
Following registration or notification, Occupants are considered to have
established “property privileges,” rights to use the facilities such as the pools,
tennis courts, and Clubhouse. All Occupants, including owners, must agree in
writing to these Rules before being issued a temporary or annual parking
pass or upon arrival notification. Owners and long-term renters should
receive a full copy of these Rules and sign the “Occupant Rule
Acknowledgement Form” before receiving an annual parking pass. Shorter
term Occupants should receive the Rules Summary and sign it before
receiving a temporary parking pass. Owners who do not live on property and
who do not park at Puamana overnight are not required to register their vehicle
but still enjoy full “property privileges”. Such owners must still sign for the Rules
on an annual basis.
Puamana Guests are daytime visitors staying elsewhere. Daytime Guests must be
accompanied by a Puamana Occupant when using Puamana facilities and
Occupants are responsible for their Guest’s adherence to the Rules. Any person
found on Puamana who is not a Unit Occupant or not accompanied by an
Occupant may be asked to leave the property by Puamana staff or contract
security personnel.
2. Main Gate Entry and Security
a) Each living unit will normally be issued up to two main gate clickers and
two magnetic cards for use by the owner and his/her guests. Owners may
request a reasonable number of additional cards (but not clickers) in
writing to the Puamana Office, which may be approved at the discretion of
the General Manager. The General Manager shall obtain each owner’s
approval in writing to certain conditions of use, including agreement to
return all clickers and cards upon sale of the living unit.
b) Vendors may request a single magnetic card in writing to the Puamana
Office, and upon approval of the General Manager, such card may be
issued for the duration of the work and must be returned upon completion.
The General Manager shall obtain each vendor’s approval in writing to
certain conditions of use, including agreement not to use such card except
for business purposes. The standard vehicle registration fee and card
deposit will apply to such vendor cards, and a vendor registration sticker
will be issued. Additional vendor employees and sub-contractors should
obtain entry by buzzing the Puamana Office during business hours.
c) Main Gate security codes will only be issued to certain emergency
personnel and transient vacation rental guests. The TVR gate code will be
changed on a monthly basis by the Puamana Office and will be monitored
by the Office to prevent abuse. Should rare extraordinary circumstances
arise, the General Manager, in his discretion, may issue private gate codes
to Homeowners or others. Absence of previous misuse may not be
considered an extraordinary circumstance.
d) Tail-gating entry by a second vehicle through the main gate is not
permitted and is a safety violation subject to the standard fine without
prior warning.
e) Cloning of clickers and magnetic cards is not permitted. Lending or
providing of clickers, cards or gate codes to non-owners and non-residents
is not permitted. The Puamana Office shall monitor all clickers, magnetic
cards and passwords for misuse. Any violation of these rules is a potential
security risk, and the standard Puamana fine may therefore be imposed
without prior warning.
3. U.S. Mail
Mail is distributed once a day in the late afternoon by the U.S. Postal Service.
Postal mail boxes are located in the laundry area on the north side of the
Clubhouse. If a proper request form is on file at the PCA Office, express
deliveries and oversized packages will be accepted and held in the Office and can
be picked up during office hours. The Office will normally call the Occupant to
inform them of the delivery. If not picked up within 5 days for packages and 30
days for letters, the items will be returned to sender as undeliverable. If a request
form is not on file at the PCA Office, the delivery companies will attempt to
deliver direct to the living unit.
4. Laundry Facilities
Washers and dryers are located at:
a) Clubhouse laundry room – between 8 a.m. – 8 p.m. only
b) Near Pool #3 – between 8 a.m. – 8 p.m. only
Washers and dryers are for the exclusive use of Puamana Occupants.
5. Garbage – Trash – Litter
Garbage, other than what can be put down the disposal, rubbish, and other trash
should be disposed of in garbage cans in the corrals located near each unit.
Garbage should be wrapped securely, preferably in plastic bags, before placing it
in the garbage cans. Lids to garbage cans should be replaced. Recycling
containers are located adjacent to each trash corral. Currently it is possible to
recycle newspapers, cardboard, tin and aluminum cans, plastic bottles and glass
bottles. Articles deposited for recycling should be free of food residue and
deposited into the proper container.
6. Swim with Caution
There are no lifeguards at any of Puamana’s three (3) pools, nor along the
Puamana beach. Each pool is equipped with a life ring, but caution is advised
when using the deeper ends of the pools, especially for non-competent swimmers.
The ocean can be hazardous; please read and adhere to all warning signs along the
beach. See pages 7-9 for detailed information on the pools. PCA assumes no
liability for swimmers at its pools or at the Puamana beach.
7. Fees
A schedule of all current Puamana fees (faxes, photocopy, etc.) is posted in the
Clubhouse and may be amended from time to time by the PCA Board of
Directors, as it deems necessary.
General Rules
1. Occupant – Employee Relationship
No person hired by the Board of Directors or the General Manager should be
asked to leave the common area on any private business for any owner or
occupant. No PCA Occupant or Guest shall reprimand or in any way castigate the
General Manager, any PCA employee or PCA contractor’s employees.
Employees and contractors are required to report any abuse in writing to the
General Manager. Complaints relating to any employee’s or contractor’s
performance of duties should be made in writing to the General Manager. Any
complaints relating to the General Manager should be made in writing to the PCA
Board of Directors.
2. Recreation Areas
Puamana’s large open spaces invite varied recreational use. Any person using
these areas must take into consideration the right of quiet enjoyment of any
adjacent living units, and must not do anything that will create a liability for the
Association. The designated sports field by the tennis court is the only authorized
location to be used for organized games and team sports. For health and safety
reasons, no access is permitted to the canal at any time except for authorized
maintenance personnel. No hitting of golf balls is permitted in Puamana.
Climbing trees is not allowed in Puamana due to safety concerns as well as the
health of our trees. Throwing objects into the mango trees to knock down fruit is
forbidden.
3. Outdoor Cooking
All outdoor cooking is restricted to covered fireproof containers. These fireproof
cooking containers must be placed so that smoke, heat, flames, or location are not
a fire hazard to the structure or cause for complaint from persons in other living
units. Barbecuing is also permitted at the Clubhouse and in the fire pit on the
beach in front of the Clubhouse. (Advance permission must be obtained from the
General Manger for fire pit or PCA-owned barbecue grill use.) All fires must
receive constant supervision. Operation of barbecues is not allowed on 2nd
story
decks or any other decks. In the event of a loss that affects more than one (1) unit,
the owner who is responsible, or whose guest is responsible, for the damage will
pay the costs of repair of any uninsured damage. “Cold” charcoal ash must be
placed in a trash bag and properly disposed of in the trash bins. DO NOT dump
hot coals on common areas or the beach.
4. Camping
No camping or outdoor sleeping shall be permitted anywhere outside of living
units or in any building other than the living units, nor any vehicle. The State of
Hawaii does not allow any camping on the beaches without a permit.
5. Damage
Any damage to the Common Properties caused by an owner, tenant, guest, family
member, or pet of any of the foregoing shall be billed to the owner of the living
unit.
6. Vehicles
a) All vehicles, automobiles, motorcycles, mopeds, and golf carts parked
overnight on Puamana property must be registered at the PCA Office.
Parking permits will only be issued to Puamana owners and registered
guests (i.e., Occupants). Parking permits will only be issued to the
registered owner of the vehicle or, in the case of rental vehicles, to the
licensed renter. Each living unit is limited to a maximum of two full-size
vehicle parking stickers. If owners park their own vehicle(s) permanently
on property, it/they count against the maximum of two full-size registered
vehicles per unit if the owner rents his or her unit. Special parking stickers
will be issued for vehicles that are not deemed full-size, and do not count
against the two permitted full-size vehicles, as discussed below. Puamana
parking permits, for automobiles, must be displayed in the lower left-hand
corner of the windshield and must be visible at all times, except when
vehicle is covered for long-term storage. Parking stickers for other
vehicles must be visibly displayed at all times. If owners park their own
vehicle(s) permanently on property, it/they must be registered annually.
Day visitor vehicles are exempt from the registration requirement.
b) A maximum of two full-size parking permits may be issued to any one
living unit. The first vehicle shall be parked in a carport assigned to that
unit. The second vehicle must be parked in an unassigned parking space in
the vicinity of the unit to which it is registered, or parked immediately
behind the unit’s carport in units where this is possible without infringing
on roadways or sidewalks (#8-1&2, #40-1,2,3&4, #57-1&2, #87-1,2,3&4,
#129-1,2,3&4, #139-3&4, #175-1,2,3&4). No vehicles may park on the
street, only in designated parking stalls. Electric vehicles, such as golf
carts or other vehicles that are licensed for street use, must be issued one
of the two available full-size parking passes per living unit if they are
unable to park together with a normal size automobile within the confines
of the first assigned parking stall. Smaller golf carts, generally those that
are not licensed for use on public streets, motorcycles, mopeds, etc. that
can fit together with an automobile within the confines of the assigned
parking stall will be issued a special parking permit and do not count as
one of the two permitted full-size parking permits.
First Violation: Written Warning (must be corrected by next business
day).
Second Violation: Car to be “Booted”. Boot removal charge, $50.
Subsequent Violations: Vehicle removed at owner’s expense.
c) Day visitors may only park in unassigned parking stalls.
d) Oversized vehicles that do not fit within the limits of the assigned carport
are not permitted to be parked at Puamana.
e) Vehicle repairs or maintenance will not be made at Puamana, emergency
repairs excepted. All vehicles parked at Puamana will be in working order
and maintained in a reasonably presentable condition, as determined by
the General Manager. All vehicles must have current registration and
safety sticker.
f) No vehicles are to be ridden or parked on the grass or sidewalks,
including, but not limited to, golf carts, bicycles, skateboards, scooters,
inline skates, and roller skates. Adults are required to insure that their
children ride bicycles, skateboards, etc. responsibly on Puamana
roads. Golf carts may be parked on the sidewalk next to the owner or
guest’s living unit for the purpose of charging off that living unit’s
electricity supply.
g) Vehicles in violation of these Rules may receive a written notice, a wheel
lock and/or be removed at the vehicle owner’s expense, per (b) above.
Vehicles which are not authorized to be on the property may be subject to
application of a wheel lock and/or towing at the vehicle owner’s expense
(per RSA 290-11) without prior written notice.
h) Homeowners with golf carts must park their carts only in their carports
(except as indicated in (f) above), drive only on the roadways, and not
charge the batteries from Puamana electrical outlets; only licensed drivers
may operate the carts and the number of passengers is limited to the
designated seating capacity of the cart. Carts operating during darkness or
times of limited visibility must utilize operational front headlight and rear
reflection device. Handicapped Occupants may obtain an annual
handicapped sticker from the PCA Office for their golf cart or other
personal mobility vehicle, and may use such vehicle to access Common
Property pursuant to Federal and State Law. PCA requires proof of current
handicapped driver permit from Hawaii or other state before issuing a
handicapped sticker.
i) Overnight vehicles must register and receive a parking permit from the
PCA office within 24 hours of arrival with the exception of after 5 pm on
Friday until Monday morning, and holidays. Provided a written notice is
placed on a vehicle, failure to secure a parking permit within 24 hours will
result in a boot and removal charge as indicated in (b) above. 48 hours
after the first written warning has been issued, if the vehicle is still in
violation, the vehicle may be towed at the vehicle owner’s/operator’s
expense.
j) Pocket Bikes: The operation of “pocket bikes” is prohibited everywhere
throughout Puamana.
k) The parking behind the 185 Building is limited to automobiles. No pickup
trucks, vans or SUV’s are permitted to park in this area.
Individual Units
1. Tenant Registration
PCA does not operate a front desk for short or long-term rental purposes.
However, vehicles must be registered at the PCA Office per (6) above for security
purposes. Such registration must be done at the PCA Office as soon as possible
but no later than the next business day after arrival on the property.
2. Subdivision of Units
No living unit may be physically subdivided for rental or lease purposes.
3. Architectural Alterations of Units
a) In accordance with CC&R Article VII Section 1, any exterior or structural
interior modifications to a living unit requires the appropriate written
application and approval of the Architectural Control Committee
(“ACC”). Applications are available at the PCA office. “Structural”
includes any removal or change in walls, ceiling joists, or studs, wiring or
plumbing changes that could affect the structure or safety of a building.
b) All exterior remodeling requires the owner to submit a remodel
application package, with three copies of preliminary drawings, and to
arrange a meeting with the ACC, the General Manager, the architect or
designer, and the owner. A fee will be charged for review and approval of
plans.
c) The PCA General Manager is responsible for enforcement of all ACC
requirements and procedures. Owners must coordinate closely with the
General Manager throughout the remodel process to avoid violations and
commensurate penalties. The General Manager should insure that contract
security personnel routinely check for ACC Blue and Green Cards as part
of their normal duties.
d) The location of portable toilets placed at the job site must be approved in
advance by the PCA General Manager.
e) None of the provisions of PCA documents are intended to be in
contravention of the State or Federal Fair Housing Acts. The Board will at
all times comply with the provisions of the Fair Housing Acts.
f) The PCA General Manager may collect a Construction Deposit Fee for
each new application for a remodel permit. The Construction Deposit Fee
shall be used to offset costs incurred by PCA for landscaping to common
grounds, construction rule violations or other PCA expenses related to the
project. The General Manager may waive the Construction Deposit Fee
for Short Form – Blue Card applications if the project doesn’t present any
enforcement issues.
4. Carports
Items such as bicycles, inflatable boats, or sea kayaks may be suspended from the
ceiling beams of the carport. These items may not damage the integrity of the
carport, nor encroach upon adjoining carports. Any vehicle (e.g., bicycles)
designed for paved roadway use can be parked in an owner’s designated parking
stall in an orderly fashion.
An owner may assign (in writing) to another Puamana Occupant, the use of the
covered parking space assigned to the unit owners provided that: (1) the assigning
owner has no vehicle on property registered to the owner’s unit and (2) the
vehicle assigned to the space is not the vehicle owner’s third car on property
5. Common Areas
a) Personal property articles of any kind may not be left overnight on any of
the common areas and may be removed at the owner’s risk and expense.
This includes but is not limited to hammocks, tiki torches, bicycles, kiddy
pools, furniture and barbeque grills.

d) Proposed changes to existing landscape must be submitted in writing to
the General Manager on the Landscaping Request Form and written

PCA has current inventory, in which case the items will be sold to the
requesting owner at current market price. Owners will be charged for any
PCA labor at the current rate.
e) The naupaka shrubs planted along the high tide line are vital to protecting
our shoreline from wave erosion. Association staff will trim this hedge to
a height recommended by a professional arborist. The naupaka and other
Association plants may not be trimmed without Association permission.
Use the posted beach access when entering the ocean to prevent damaging
this essential landscaping. Anyone trampling or cutting the Naupaka
without authorization will incur a $100 fine on the first and any
subsequent violations and also be charged the actual cost of replacement,
including material costs and labor.
6. Commercial Activities
No commercial solicitation or canvassing is allowed at Puamana. No living unit
or any part of any unit or the Common Properties shall be used for commercial,
professional, or business activities, except as described below, unless such
activity has been approved by the Board of Directors and is for the direct benefit
of the Association (e.g., vending machines, souvenir items, laundry facilities,
etc.). No business or trade of any kind may be conducted in or from any living
unit or elsewhere at Puamana except that an owner or occupant residing in a
living unit may conduct such business activity within the living unit so long as the
existence or operation of the business activity:
a) Is not apparent or detectable by sight, sound, or smell from the exterior of
the living unit;
b) Conforms to all zoning requirements;

approved in writing by the General Manager. An oversized dumpster may
only be placed on property for 14 days. Oversized dumpster remaining on
the property in excess of 14 days will result in a fine to the owner of $100

General Manager. Any oversized container remaining on property after
two days will result in a fine to the owner of $100 per day up to the PCA
fine limit. After the fine limit is reached, the container will be removed at
owner’s expense. A fine of $200 per day will be levied if approval for
container placement is not received from the General Manager in advance
of the container delivery.

13) Compliance
All PCA Occupants and Guests shall comply with the requests of the General
Manager in respect to matters of personal conduct in and about the pool areas.
Anyone violating the above Rules will be evicted from the pool areas and is
subject to potential loss of pool privileges for a period of time. Day Guests of
Occupants must be accompanied by the Occupant inviting them to use the pools.
Tennis Court
1) Appropriate attire and tennis shoes must be worn on the court.
2) Sign-up sheets for tennis court times are available at the PCA Office and all
reservations will be on a first-come, first-served basis. Sign-up is limited to one
hour per unit per day. During busy times of the year, drawings for court time will
be held every day or every other day at 4:45 p.m. at the Clubhouse.
3) Drawings will be conducted as follows: As each partner’s unit number is drawn,
those players select the hour they wish to play the next day. During those times
when the court list is large, players may select an hour for only one day of the
following two days. If players are not on the court by ten (10) minutes past the
hour scheduled, the court becomes a free court for the remaining time. If you are
unable to make your court time, please call the PCA Office so that someone else
may play. Failure to comply may result in loss of court privileges for a period of
time.
4) Tennis courts are to be used at the player’s own risk.
5) Bicycles, skates, skateboards, etc. are not allowed on court surfaces.
Penalties for Violation of the Rules
1) All persons who fall within the purview of PCA Bylaws, (i.e., Occupants and
Guests) are obligated to observe all Rules adopted from time-to-time by the Board
of Directors and shall comply with all reasonable requests of the General Manager
and his or her staff in the enforcement of these Rules.
2) Persons who violate the PCA Charter, CC&Rs, Bylaws or Rules are subject to
sanctions including, without limitation, monetary fines established by the Board
of Directors and/or withholding of privileges at Puamana.
3) Any person who has been charged with a penalty for violation of the Rules, or has
damaged Puamana property, plant or facility, shall pay the fine and all costs for
restoration or replacement of the damaged property, plant or facility, including
any legal fees that may be required to exact such charges.
4) Any Occupant or PCA employee or PCA contractor may register a written
complaint with the General Manager if he or she believes the Rules are being
violated. PCA employees and contractors must report any rule violations on the
“Rule Violation Tracking Form”. If the complaint is verified by the PCA General
Manager, a letter will be sent to the unit owner and the unit occupant, if they are
not the same person. Fines will be assessed if a second or subsequent warning is
required, or after the first violation in matters of safety or certain other cases. All
fines will be assessed against the unit owner and charged to the owner’s PCA
account, except for parking, speeding or private items on common property,
where the vehicle can be booted or item removed, and a fine collected in advance
of removal or return.
5) For ACC Rule violations, the first violation shall normally result in a warning.
The second violation will be a $50 fine with the fines doubling on subsequent
violations. Saturday (or after hours) noise violations shall start at $100 (one
warning). Work on Sunday will result in a $250 fine (no warning).
6) All Rule violations shall be specified in writing. Consequences for violation of the
Rules may be found under the specific Rule and are in addition to any Association
costs incurred. Fines not otherwise specified herein are set at $250 per day up to a
maximum cumulative fine for each single violation of $1,000 per month.
7) All House Rule violation notices and fines may be appealed to the PCA Board of
Directors. Upon payment of all outstanding fines, a member may appeal in
writing to the BOD at the next regular Board meeting. The Board’s decision on
appeals is final and the owner will be notified in writing of the appeal’s outcome.
Tenants must appeal through their owner or rental agent. Written appeals should
be sent to the Puamana Office. All fines shall be treated as a special assessment
against the owner of the unit, except for fines for parking, speeding and private
items on Common Property (where vehicles can be booted and private items
removed by PCA.)
8) Owner payments will be applied to any fines (and certain other liabilities) before
monthly maintenance assessments.
