Established
The signed 2026 SOV totals $32.708M and uses $164/sf for residential buildings.
The new exchange does not establish one definitive replacement-cost number. It does establish a concrete reconciliation problem among the values, policy extensions, and professional representations now in the record.
At 10:40 a.m., Board President Mark Reynders wrote that, according to multiple insurance agents, the Association had been told: State Farm satisfies the CC&Rs' 100% replacement-cost requirement; bare-walls replacement cost was $34 million; another bare-walls figure was $38.8 million; and the final replacement cost can depend on the quality of reconstruction and insurer methodology.
He then presented a stated coverage calculation of approximately $22.6M State Farm + $4.5M Extra Replacement Cost + $2.2M Increased Cost of Construction/Demolition + $9.806516M Helix = $39.204326M.
The State Farm form reviewed for the current policy describes Increased Cost of Construction and Demolition Cost as an ordinance/law extension. It expressly states that payment under that extension does not increase the applicable Limit of Insurance. That makes it materially different from simply adding another $2.2 million of unrestricted building replacement coverage.
The declarations also list CMP-4828 Extra Replacement Cost, but the applicable endorsement must be reviewed to know its exact percentage, conditions, prerequisites, and interaction with Helix.
The Association's 2026 insurance disclosure lists an earthquake limit of $42,216,921. The 2024 earthquake policy reviewed for this site states that the premium was based upon a September 5, 2024 Statement of Values and/or insurance application. The September 24 clarification also cites an approximately $30.56M 2017 earthquake/flood SOV and an approximately $44M Reich discussion.
The September 24 clarification draws a useful distinction: the peril is what causes the damage; the Statement of Values is what the property is valued at. Earthquake, fire, and flood can produce different losses and different insurance terms. But where policies address the same buildings, garages, and common property, a large change in stated property value warrants an explanation of scope and methodology rather than a dismissal based only on the peril name.
The signed 2026 SOV totals $32.708M and uses $164/sf for residential buildings.
The Association disclosure lists a $42.216921M earthquake limit, and the 2024 earthquake policy ties premium to a Sept. 5, 2024 SOV/application.
The Board President reports $34M and $38.8M bare-walls figures from agents and presents a $39.204M combined calculation.
The written Reich quote/valuation, the Sept. 5, 2024 SOV/application, the professional basis for $164/sf, and the applicable CMP-4828 endorsement.
The earlier website case leaned heavily on the $164/sf SOV and outside construction-cost benchmarks. Those remain useful reasonableness checks. The September 24 record is stronger because the central comparison is now increasingly internal: the Association's own insurance disclosures, policies, Board statements, broker work, and signed SOV contain materially different numbers that can be reconciled through documents rather than opinion.
