Cedar Ridge Homeowners Association

What Cedar Ridge Homeowners Association's governing documents say

Bella Terra is a planned single-family home community in Wake County, NC, governed by a homeowners association (Bella Terra Homeowners Association, Inc.). This document is the full declaration of covenants, conditions, and restrictions – the rulebook for owners in the subdivision. It covers architectural approvals, maintenance responsibilities, and common area use, but does not include some typical HOA rules (e.g., pets, leasing) due to truncation.

• Architectural review: Any construction, alteration, or site work (including fences, landscaping, and tree removal) requires prior written approval from the Architectural Control Committee. Plans must be submitted in triplicate and may be rejected for any reason, including aesthetics.
• Fines and enforcement: The Association can impose fines up to $150 per day for violations, with a hearing before a board-appointed panel. Fines are treated as assessments secured by liens. Community privileges (e.g., common area access) may also be suspended.
• Common areas: Common Areas include stormwater facilities, private roads, landscaping, and amenities. Owners have an easement to use them, subject to Association rules. Use can be suspended for nonpayment or rule violations (up to 60 days). Common Areas cannot be sold without 80% owner approval.
• Property rights and easements: Owners have access easements for maintenance of structures near lot lines. Specific septic easements exist for Lots 1–8 and 13. The Association also holds landscape and retention pond repair easements extending 20 feet onto adjacent lots.
• Duration and termination: The covenants run for 30 years from recording (October 2020), then automatically renew for successive 10-year periods. Termination requires at least 80% of association votes, recorded as a termination agreement.
• What this document doesn't cover: The provided text is truncated before reaching articles on assessments, use restrictions (e.g., pets, parking, leasing), and membership voting. These rules exist elsewhere in the full declaration or supplemental documents.
