What Winstead Homeowners Assoc Inc's governing documents say
This is the amended and restated declaration of covenants, conditions, and restrictions for Winstead Subdivision, a single-family home HOA in Durham, NC. It governs all lots in Phases I, II, and III and binds all current and future owners. The document covers assessments, maintenance, architectural control, and specific use restrictions.
- Assessments & fees: All owners pay annual assessments set by the Board, which can increase up to 10% per year without a vote; larger increases need 2/3 member approval. A transfer fee equal to two months' assessments is collected from the buyer at closing and is non-refundable.
- Architectural review: Any exterior alteration or addition (including painting, roofing, and major landscaping) requires prior written approval from the Board or architectural committee. Approval is deemed given if no response within 60 days of submission.
- Land use & structures: Lots are for single-family residential use only. Temporary structures, trailers, and metal storage buildings are prohibited; detached structures under 250 sq ft are allowed in the rear yard with approval. Above-ground pools are banned, and in-ground pools need Board approval.
- Pets & animals: No livestock or commercial animal keeping is allowed. Dogs, cats, and other household pets are permitted, but if kept outdoors they must be in a fenced rear yard or on an invisible fence.
- Parking & vehicles: Unlicensed or disabled vehicles must be parked in an enclosed garage. Boats, trailers, and campers must be in a garage or on approved side/rear parking pads. Only one personal commercial vehicle may be parked at a residence.
- Yards & landscaping: Buffer areas must remain undisturbed; fences in buffer areas require approvals. Trees over 12 inches in diameter cannot be removed without Association approval, except dead/diseased/imminent threat. Rain barrels up to 80 gallons are allowed in rear yards with color restrictions.
- Signs & clotheslines: Only small identification, real estate, and security signs are allowed; political signs follow city/county rules. Outdoor clotheslines are prohibited unless approved in writing.
- Solar panels: Solar panels are allowed but must follow specific guidelines: flush-mounted panels on street-facing roofs are not allowed, and all installations require pre-approval. Panels must be lower than the roof ridge and colored to match the roof.
