Why Guidelines?

The Kure Beach Village Homeowners Association (KBV HOA) is concerned with preserving the inherent beauty of the community, with emphasis on value, quality and aesthetics. In order to maintain the focus on these goals and to preserve property values it was essential that Design Guidelines be developed. These guidelines (Available to read and/or print HERE or above), establish the design criteria for home sites, assist property owners in the design, construction and improvement of their residences and guide the growth of the community in a predictable and orderly fashion. 

Architectural Review Committee

The Architectural Review Committee has the responsibility of administering the Design Guidelines and reviewing all plans for (a) new residential construction, and (b) improvements or alterations to existing residences and lots. The goals of the Committee are to ensure that all plans submitted for review meet the criteria set forth in the Design Guidelines and that construction is completed in accordance with approved plans. The Committee consists of three Village property owners who are appointed by the KBV HOA Board of Directors. All disapproval recommendations are referred to the Board for final decision. 

Architectural Review Process

In accordance with existing Village Covenants and By-Laws, all plans for new residential construction, and all plans for additions or alterations to existing residences and lots, must be approved by the Architectural Review Committee PRIOR TO the commencement of construction efforts. Prior to the submission of plans to the Committee, owners, builders and/or architects may request an optional preliminary review of their design concepts, or may present any special conditions or hardships. 

Plan Submission and Approval

A set of construction documents and a completed Residential Construction Application form shall be delivered or mailed to the KBV HOA, Architectural Review Committee, 701 Sailor Court, Kure Beach, NC 28449. Applicants will receive prompt written notification of all Committee and Board of Directors decisions. All approved plans are valid for twelve months. If the plans are not approved, or approved with conditions, the owner will receive notification from the Committee and Board of Directors as to the reasons for denial or conditions. Owners are invited to contact the Committee again to discuss changes to the plans that may lead to full approval. 

Construction Surety Bond

A refundable construction surety bond (Available to read and/or print HERE or above), in the amount of $2,000.00, made payable to the Kure Beach Village HOA, is required prior to the start of any new residential construction effort. Projects that are additions or alterations to existing residences and lots also require Committee review and approval. A bond of $200. is required for projects costing $10,000 or less. More extensive projects require a refundable construction surety bond in the amount of 2% of the project construction cost over $10,000. but (not to exceed $2,000.). The surety bond will ensure compliance with approved construction documents and construction guidelines, and will be refunded promptly after final inspection and approval of construction by the Committee and, in the case of new residential construction, the submission of a certificate of occupancy. —————
