Crooked Creek Homeowners Association of Durham Inc

What Crooked Creek Homeowners Association of Durham Inc's governing documents say

This is a declaration of cross easements for a commercial office/retail development called Southpoint Professional Center, not a residential HOA. It grants parking, access, and utility easements among three commercial lots (Lot 1, Lot 2, Lot 3) owned by different parties. It is not a rulebook for homeowners or renters; it governs the rights and obligations of the commercial property owners.

• What this document covers: It establishes shared parking and access easements over Lots 2 and 3, and utility easements (water, sewer, and private utilities) across all three lots, for the benefit of the commercial property owners.
• Who it binds: It binds the owners of the three commercial parcels (and their tenants, employees, customers, and business invitees) — not residents or homeowners. It is a private agreement that does not grant rights to the public.
• Parking & vehicles: Owners of Lots 2 and 3 have a perpetual, free, non-exclusive right to use the shared parking areas on those lots, but no one may regularly store vehicles overnight in the shared parking area.
• Access & barriers: All paved areas must be kept at a uniform grade, and no fences or obstructions may interfere with pedestrian or vehicular traffic between the lots. Owners may temporarily block traffic for repairs or to prevent prescriptive easement rights.
• Maintenance & drainage: Each owner must maintain and keep its own parking areas and rights-of-way in good repair, clear of snow, ice, rubbish, and obstructions, and provide adequate drainage and lighting. There is also a perpetual easement for the flow of surface storm water across all parcels.
• Utility easements: Owners have rights to install and maintain private utility systems (underground electric, telephone, fiber, cable, water, sewer, storm drainage) across other parcels, subject to approval of the burdened owner. The installing owner bears all costs and must repair any damage and discharge any liens within 30 days.
• What this document doesn't cover: This is not a homeowners' association declaration. It contains no rules about residential use, pets, leasing, architectural review, assessments, or community amenities. It only addresses easements and related obligations among commercial property owners.
