Barnes Landing

What Barnes Landing's governing documents say

Barnes Landing is a single-family home subdivision in Clayton, NC, governed by a homeowners association (HOA). These covenants apply to all lot owners and set strict rules about home construction, appearance, and use. The document also establishes the Barnes Landing Homeowners' Association, Inc., which collects annual dues and enforces the rules.

• Home & lot use: Lots are for single-family detached homes only, with a minimum heated floor area of 1,500 square feet (excluding porches and garages). No manufactured homes, temporary structures, or metal buildings are allowed. Accessory buildings must match the home's style and be in the rear yard.
• Architectural review: All exterior plans, materials, colors, and landscaping must be approved in writing by the Architectural Committee before construction. The committee can waive minor violations (up to 10%) and has broad discretion over fences, pools, and other structures.
• Setbacks & impervious area: Structures must be at least 20 feet from the front lot line, 15 feet from side street lines, 5 feet from interior lot lines, and 15 feet from the rear lot line (70 feet from NC Highway 210). Maximum impervious area per lot is 6,578 square feet, including driveways and buildings.
• Pets & animals: Up to three dogs, cats, or other common household pets are allowed per lot, but they cannot be kept for commercial purposes. Dogs must be leashed when outside the lot, and owners must clean up after them. Livestock and poultry are prohibited.
• Parking & vehicles: Each lot must have off-street parking for at least two full-sized cars. No parking on streets or common property. Commercial trailers, RVs, boats, and inoperable vehicles must be kept in garages or out of sight from streets. Off-road vehicles (dirt bikes, ATVs) cannot be operated in the community.
• Leasing & rentals: Permanent leasing or renting of a dwelling is prohibited. Only the Declarant (developer) may rent temporarily. Short-term, transient, bed-and-breakfast, or hotel-type rentals are not allowed.
• HOA dues & enforcement: Each lot owner must pay $360 in annual HOA dues, due January 1. Late payments (after January 30) can result in a lien on the lot. Violations of the covenants can incur a $25 per day fine after a 30-day notice to remedy.
• What this document doesn't cover: This excerpt includes the full declaration of covenants and the articles of incorporation for the HOA, but it does not include the HOA's bylaws, any separate architectural guidelines, or rules about common amenities (there are none mentioned).
