SEALOFT VILLA OWNERS’
ASSOCIATION
EXTERIOR STANDARDS FOR
REPAIRS AND IMPROVEMENTS
December 2013
Sealoft Villa
Owners’ Association
Standards for
Exterior Improvements and Repairs
This booklet of documents and specifications contains approved
guidelines for use by the owners of villas in the Sealoft Villa
Community for making improvements and/or repairs to their homes.
The specific purpose of this document is to provide the homeowner a
reference in the planning, preparation, and execution of their
improvements or repairs. It should also ensure that the quality of the
workmanship and that work specifically performed would be in
compliance and harmony with all the villas in the Sealoft Community
In addition to the approval by the SVHOA Board of Governors, the
Architectural Review Committee (ARC) of the Seabrook Island
Property Association (SIPOA) has also approved these standards.
OBJECTIVE
Construction of the Sealoft community was begun in 1979 and
completed with a number of (53) villas.
Throughout the years owners have elected to modify the external
visages of their villas, some with SVHOA Board & SIPOA ARC
approvals/permits and some without, introducing a number of visual
architectural inconsistencies.
In providing these standards, it is the express goal of the SVHOA
board to provide clear, consistent guidelines for the owners
concerning the external appearance of their villas. These will also
provide a fast track for our owners in expediting their work, providing
it is in full compliance with these standards. Work differing from
these standards will still require SVHOA Board approval prior to
submitting a request(s) to the ARC. At some point in time, with the
implementation of these standards, owners should expect that all
villas would be in harmonious conformity.
OBJECTIVE (cont.)
What follows are the individual standards in detail. Where required,
there are photographs and/or drawings depicting what are contained
in the verbiage of each standard.
At any point, these standards may be updated as materials and
construction methods change. Any newly approved standard will also
be added to this booklet. When this becomes appropriate, this
booklet will contain the most recent approved update as indicated by
the revision or addition date.
THE APPROVAL PROCESS
1. All requests for exterior improvements and/or repairs must be
submitted to the SVHOA Property Manager utilizing the
“SVHOA Exterior Modification” form (see appendix). In this form the work to be performed is detailed as to construction,
materials, color, etc.
If the work to be performed is in total compliance with the standard
our Property Manager will then approve the request and forward it
to the ARC Manager.
2. Complete the SIPOA ARC “Request for Conditional Approval” form (see appendix) & with the approved Sealoft form submit
both to the ARC manager at the SIPOA main office building.
3. If approved, building permits must be obtained from the Town
Of Seabrook and Charleston County Building Inspectors’ Office.
4. All construction MUST comply with the Charleston County
Building codes and SIPOA requirements.
5. Upon completion, final approval must be obtained from the
Charleston County Building Inspectors’ Office.
NOTE: As previously discussed, if the proposed request differs from
the standard, approval by the SVHOA Board is required and the
reason(s) for the difference detailed in the owner’s request.

Standard: Exterior Lighting – Post &Deck, Pedestal, Spotlight and
Staircase Lighting
General Comments:
This Standard provides Sealoft Villa Owners Association (SVOA) approval for exterior lighting
replacements provided the installation also meets all applicable codes. As of December 2010,
our current lighting standard for the exterior post and wall lighting has proven to be very
difficult to find full replacements as well as replacement bulbs/parts for the fixtures. In addition
to these concerns, the current standards do not meet the new “Dark-Sky” requirements as stated by the Seabrook Island Property Owners Association.
NOTE: It is the responsibility of the owner and/or their contractor to determine compliance
with all applicable codes at time of installation.
Definitions:
1. Original Post Location - refers to the location where the Post Lamp was installed when
the villa was initially constructed which is near the entrance staircase.
2. Original Front Deck Location - refers to the location where the Wall Lamp was installed
when the villa was initially constructed, which is located to the left of the front door.
3. Original Bedroom Deck Location - refers to the location where the Wall Lamp was
installed when the villa was initially constructed, which is located on the chimney box.
4. OPTIONAL Pedestal Door Location - refers to the location where a Wall Lamp can be
installed, which is located directly above the door, centered between the first floor of
the villa and above the pedestal doorway and centered by the width of the door.
5. OPTIONAL Spotlight Location – refers to the location where a motion-sensitive light may
be mounted on the ceiling in the “carport” area under the villa. (#3 under materials)

either or both sides of interior face of the stairwell where tiny warm white bulbs
connected by different wiring options and surrounded by a clear flexible tube may be

post is relocated.
2. The original front deck location is near the front door entrance to the Sealoft Villa and

out of stock, in which case, similar products can be submitted to the SVOA Property
Manager for approval.
6. The OPTIONAL stairway rope lighting may be located along the underside(s) of either or

approved by the SVOA Property Manager. If the installation is approved to be placed

the owner, but permits the owner to locate the HVAC unit over SVOA property. Should
that permission result in any tax or property consequence, the owner shall make whole
the SVOA.
