Anything more than floor covering or painting requires Board of Directors approval.
For all renovations other than carpeting and interior painting, you must get approval. Certain renovations may be approved by the Manager; he will let you know whether or not you need Board approval. Please submit in writing a detailed description of your renovation to the manager. Floor plan alterations, especially if those that involve electrical and/or plumbing changes, may require a City and County permit in addition to a detailed description. For more information see City & County Section 18-3.1. The resident manager has the right to inspect work as it is being done, and to review the City and County building permit. The Resident Manager has the right to stop any work that is not properly approved.

Lanai Enclosures
Only storm roll-up shutters or glass enclosures are allowed. The storm roll-up shutters must conform in color and style to what is currently installed on each building. Glass enclosures require a City & County building permit. The Tradewinds charges a $75.00 fee for approved documentation for glass enclosures; you must give this approved documentation to the person/company who will install your glass enclosure. Likewise, you must obtain at your cost a permit from the City & County along with this approved documentation. Contact the Resident Manager for details.
