ANNUAL MEMBERSHIP MEETING: Saturday, 01/10/2026 @ 3PM: Ocean View Community Center Main Hall (upstairs): 92-8924 Leilani Circle Ocean View, Hawaii 96704 - Park in upper parking lot, chairs provided. There are no teleconference capabilities available.
This seems to be the only viable path forward. No one in this community should ever have to face being threatened, cursed at, yelled at, insulted, or forced to seek legal protection simply because they volunteered their personal time, free of charge, to serve their neighbors.
We all want to live in a community guided by the spirit of Aloha. Unfortunately, there are individuals who believe they are above the rules or cannot accept decisions made in the best interest of the community. This behavior is unacceptable and will not be tolerated.
The board appreciates those who continue to act with respect and integrity. We remain committed to ensuring this community is managed fairly, safely, and responsibly

NOTICE: UPCOMING 2025 ROAD WORK
Work to be completed the first week of December
Tuesday Dec. 2nd - Saturday Dec. 6th, 2025
The verbal quote that the board initially obtained and used to establish this year’s concrete apron budget proved to be invalid. Upon receiving a valid quote from a reputable company, it was determined that installing concrete aprons on all side streets would greatly exceed the KGE funds available now and for the foreseeable future.
To achieve immediate improvements on the side roads with the most deteriorated intersections, and to help prevent further deterioration of the main road at those locations, the board has elected to proceed with the second most popular option proposed at the 2025 Annual Meeting: performing grading/material maintenance on the existing rock intersections.
Work will be performed at the following side street intersections with Kona Gardens Dr. extending approximately 50' onto each side street. Streets WILL BE usable/passable during the work, but we ask that you be extra cautious driving in the subdivision during this time, drive slow, and be patient with the contractors while they are working in your area. There may be equipment parked at the end of the side street for a time and work may not be complete on each street in one day.

*If your property driveway intersects directly with Kona Gardens Dr. it is your responsibility to upkeep the intersection of your driveway with the main road. If you are interested in getting work done with our hired contractor on your own driveway, please contact him using the information below and he may be able to do your work during the same timeframe he is in Kona Garden Estates to complete the side road maintenance. All work on your personal driveway is to be quoted/negotiated directly with George and will be at your personal cost.*
