SUBCHAPTER 2
USES AND PROHIBITIONS
X15-110-5 General recruirements. (a) Hale shall be
constructed using only materials grown and harvested in
the State of Hawaii. Except as provided in paragraph
(7), the wood members for the hale, such as posts and
rafters, shall be unmilled, straight sections of trunks
or branches of the following:
(1) Casaurina equisitafolia (ironwood). Ironwood
has become naturalized in coastal areas up to
3,000 feet elevation. It is a rapidly growing
tree between 50 and 100 feet tall and 1-1/2
feet in diameter. It has a thin crown of
drooping twigs. The bark is light gray and
smooth when young, and becomes rough, thick,
furrowed and shaggy reddish-brown when mature.
(2) Prosopis pallida (kiawe). Kiawe is the most
common tree in the coastal lowland dry zone up
to 2,000 feet elevation. It is a small to
_ medium tree 30 to 60 feet tall with a trunk 1-
1/2 feet or more in diameter. The bark is
gray brown and finely fissured. The wood is a
dark reddish brown, very heavy and extremely
hard.
(3) Eucalyptus robusta (eucalyptus). There are
many introduced types of eucalyptus in Hawaii.
Robusta eucalyptus is the most common species
planted here. It has thick, soft reddish
brown bark, and broad lance shaped leaves. It
is a moderately large tree, 80 to 100 feet
high. The trunk is large, 3 to 4 feet in
diameter, and straight.
(4) Psidium cattleianum (strawberry guava).
Strawberry guava is a shrubby tree 10 to 20
feet high, with smooth cylindrical branches.
The wood is hard, heavy and fine textured.
The leaves are smooth and dark green. The
fruit is purplish-red about an inch in
diameter. It is an undesirable weed in
pastures and forest.
(5) Metrosideros polymorpha (ohia). Ohia is the
most common and wide-spread large native tree
110-5
in Hawaii's wet forests. It is extremely
variable and divided into numerous varieties
based on leaf shape, and flower color. It can
reach a height of 80 feet and diameter of 3
feet or larger. The trunks can be straight or
twisted. The bark is light gray becoming
rough and thick, and sometimes shaggy. The
species is distributed from sea level to the
timber line at 8,500 feet. It is most
distinguished by its beautiful clusters of red
flowers.
(6) Rizophora mangle (mangrove). Mangrove has
naturalized on protected muddy seashores. Its
arching stilt-like roots allow it to spread in
shallow salt and brackish water. It is a
small evergreen tree up to 33 feet high and 8
inches in diameter. The bark is gray or gray-
brown, smooth and thin when young, becoming
furrowed and thick on older trees. The wood
is hard and very heavy. The fruit supports an
attached odd cigar-like seedling that
elongates hanging down.
(7) Ardisia elliptica (inkberry). Inkberry is a
branched shrub up to 13 feet tall. The leaves
are alternate and elliptical. The flowers are
small, pinkish and star like. The rounded
fruits are red when immature, ripening to
black. The heartwood is pale brown with
conspicuous darker rays showing on all
surfaces. The wood is moderately dense and
fine textured. It is an invasive species in
moist, lowland areas. Ardisia elliptica
(inkberry) may be used only for roof purlins
as an alternative to specified woods listed in
paragraphs (1) through (6).
(b) Thatched roofing and siding materials for the
hale may be any grass or leaf material grown and
harvested in the State of Hawaii.
(c) Natural or synthetic cord used for lashing
structural members of the hale shall be 400 pound test.
Cord used for tying floating purlins and thatched
materials shall be 100 pound test. All cord used on the
hale shall be shades of green, tan, brown or black.
(d) Any hale used for sleeping shall have a battery
operated smoke detector installed in the hale.
110-6
(e) Metal shall not be used for the construction of
the hale.
(f) Hale shall be one-story, detached structure(s)
not to exceed 1,800 square feet.
(g) Hale shall comply with minimum yard
requirements in the zoning codes.
(h) The minimum separation between a hale and
another structure shall be at least 10 feet for a one-
story structure; 15 feet for a two-story structure; or a
distance equal to the height of the hale, whichever is
more. The minimum separation between two hale shall be
at least 10 feet or a distance equal to the height of the
taller hale.
(i) The hale shall be periodically maintained by
the owner to ensure structural integrity. Repairs for
maintenance of the hale shall not require additional
building permits.
(j) Hale noa may be constructed only on property
where a separate residence exists on the property. [Eff
