Ekubo Coastal Estate

The review panel (RP) will designate a “footprint area” of a maximum of 60% of the individual stand, which can be developed within by the owner in accordance with the respective coverage & F.A.R. mentioned below. This development includes all built on surfaces, paved surfaces, swimming pools and grassed areas. The remainder of the site will be planted and maintained with indigenous flora within the parameters of the EMP. The maximum coverage allowed is 25% of the stand size, which excludes garages and open patio areas. The maximum FAR(floor area ratio) is 30% of the site. The top storey may not exceed 50% of the ground floor area. The minimum house size is 250 square metres including garages but excluding open patios. The maximum house size is 500 square metres excluding garages and all patios. Any increase in FAR will have to be authorised by the EHA and the (RP) and local council.

Security is a primary concern and the security consultants are currently in the process of designing various options for presentation to the developers. The external barrier will consist of a selectively electrified palisade fence. The top section (600mm) of the fence will be permanently electrified and the bottom section (1800mm) will only become electrified once tampered with. Any attempt to gain access to the estate by burrowing under the fence will be picked up by the fibre optic detection cable. The perimeter will be remotely monitored with CCTV cameras and all entry and departure to the estate will be electronically monitored at the various access points. An attitude of maximum design is adopted and no expense has been spared in this regard. The perimeter barrier will extend around the entire estate including the admiralty boundary on the ocean front. Access to the beaches on the North (Leisure Bay) and South (Port Edward) will be by way of security controlled entrances. There will be no internal boundary fences and walls allowed within the estate (The club site might have to be given consideration from a security point of view)

The design style will be “Bali” inspired with an emphasis on modern Bali design incorporating natural materials and a consistent theme throughout the estate. All roofs will be a shade of terracotta. The design theme will be controlled by way of the architectural guidelines imposed by the homeowners association (EHA) and by the review panel (RP). Design parameters are set out in detail in a separate document, which forms part of the sale document. Owners will be entitled to use their own “approved” architects and will be obliged to submit their plans for approval to the (RP). Only builders approved by the EHA will be allowed to build and will be required to sign the builder’s code of conduct relating to building activities within the estate.

The internal roads will be designed in keeping with the eco theme, which promotes the use of natural materials, and therefore no tarmac surfaces will be used. Smooth paved and naturally coloured hard surfaces with border strips of cobble type paving will constitute the predominant theme. Road intersections will be appropriately designed to be aesthetically pleasing and the storm-water facilities where necessary will be constructed from natural stone. Roadside landscaping, lighting and signage will be appropriate within the design theme. All water, sewerage and electrical services will be sub-surface with the exception of the two main sewerage package plants which will be located above ground and which will be landscaped to obscure them from view. These plants will in any way impact on the site aesthetics.
