Parkway Unit Owners Association

What Parkway Unit Owners Association's governing documents say

This is a set of protective covenants for single-family residential lots in the MacArthur Park Planned Unit Development in Cary, NC, including neighborhoods like Excalibur, Charleston Woods, and others. It applies to homeowners in these subdivisions, who must follow the rules on building, use, and maintenance. The document is part of a larger framework with master and sub-master covenants, so it does not cover all community rules.

• What you can build: Only one detached single-family dwelling (max 2 stories, or 2.5 in Charleston Woods) plus a private garage (max 2-3 cars) is allowed per lot. Minimum home sizes vary by neighborhood: 1,400-1,600 sq ft depending on garage, or 1,500/1,600 sq ft for one/two-story in Excalibur, and 1,500 sq ft in Charleston Woods.
• Setbacks & lot requirements: Homes must be set back at least 25 ft from the front, 5 ft from sides (with total side yards at least 15 ft), and 20 ft from the rear. Corner lots have special rules. Lots must be at least 55 ft wide and 6,500 sq ft (or 40 ft/7,500 sq ft in Excalibur, 30 ft/9,500 sq ft in Charleston Woods), but existing lots are grandfathered.
• Architectural review: No building, fence, wall, mailbox, or other structure can be erected or altered without approval from the Architectural Review Board/Committee as set out in the Sub-Master Covenants. This includes sheds, which need approval and must be at the rear of the lot.
• Business & nuisance restrictions: No noxious or offensive trade or activity is allowed. No business (like doctor's office, fraternity house, rooming house, antique shop) can be conducted on any lot. No trucks, tractors, inoperable cars, or unsightly materials can be stored or left on the lot.
• Vehicles & storage: No travel trailers, boats, or other recreational vehicles may be stored on any lot. No trailers, mobile homes, tents, shacks, or barns are allowed, except temporary construction/sales trailers with approval.
• Pets: No animals, livestock, or poultry may be raised or kept, except up to four household pets (dogs, cats, etc.) at any one time, provided they are not bred or kept for commercial purposes.
• Landscaping & fences: No hedge or screen planting is allowed closer to the front lot line than the front of the dwelling. In Charleston Woods, chain link fences are prohibited even if screened.
• What this document doesn't cover: This document is a supplemental declaration that works alongside the Master Covenants and Sub-Master Covenants of the Parkway Community Association and Parkway Unit Owners Association. It does not include the full set of community rules, such as assessments, common area use, or association governance, which are found in those other documents.
