Creekside Subdivision Homeowners Association Inc

What Creekside Subdivision Homeowners Association Inc's governing documents say

Creekside Subdivision is a planned community of single-family detached homes in Wake County, NC, governed by a homeowners association (HOA). This declaration of protective covenants sets the rules for what owners can build, how they can use their property, and the HOA's assessment and enforcement powers. It applies to all current and future lot owners in the subdivision.

• Architectural review: Before building, altering, or placing any structure (including fences, pools, and landscaping), you must submit plans for written approval. Only below-ground pools are allowed; above-ground pools are prohibited. Fences must be either 6-foot wooden board or 4-foot black painted aluminum, and cannot be placed closer to the front lot line than the rear of the dwelling.
• Construction & design standards: Homes must have at least 1,600 square feet of heated and finished living space (plus garage), be built with vinyl siding, and have a concrete paved driveway. All homes must be on a crawl space. LP/natural gas tanks must be buried underground.
• Landscaping & yard maintenance: Before occupancy, non-wooded areas must be smoothed and sodded, and the foundation front landscaped with shrubs. Owners must keep yards mowed and free of tall grass, debris, and unsightly materials. If you don't, the HOA can have the work done at your expense.
• Pets: You may keep up to three dogs and three cats (or other household pets) as long as they are not dangerous and not kept for commercial purposes.
• Vehicles & parking: No motor vehicles licensed for more than 10 tons may be parked on lots or streets (except delivery vehicles). Vehicles that can't move under their own power can't be parked for more than 30 days. Boats must be parked behind the dwelling, out of street view. Mini-bikes, go-carts, and ATVs cannot be operated on streets or lots. All vehicles must have current registration and inspection.
• Outdoor equipment & storage: Playground equipment and toys must be in the rear yard. Satellite dishes larger than 2 feet in diameter are not allowed. No outdoor clotheslines. Garbage receptacles must be kept out of public view except on pickup days.
• HOA assessments & fees: The HOA can levy annual assessments (starting at $50/month per lot, with annual increases up to 10% without a vote) and special assessments (with two-thirds member approval). Unpaid assessments become a lien on the property and accrue 10% interest. There is also a $50 transfer fee paid by the buyer at each sale.
• Common properties & amenities: The community includes a pond and other common areas that are for the use and enjoyment of all owners. The HOA maintains these areas and can charge fees for their use. The HOA also maintains a 20-foot emergency access.
