Stone/Rock
• On Harbourside and Oceanfront Homesites stone and rock is to be limited to foundations, garden, and site walls.
• Lava rock and/or indigenous or regional stone may be used as a foundation element to create a raised plinth with wood infill walls above on Hillside Homesites. Stone treatments may also be used on full height walls and/or for columns at the corners of buildings to support a large roof.

• Stone surfaces are to have a structural, dry-laid, or understated mortar appearance. Mosaic patterns are not permitted. Stone masonry may be one of two styles that draw from regional patterns: A random, dry stack pattern with a mix of sizes and shapes with larger stones predominantly at the base or coursed stone with
no or minimal grout showing (ashlar pattern similar to historic precedents) in most cases.
