What Marker 55's governing documents say

This is an amendment to the Declaration of Restrictions for Holden Beach West Subdivision, a single-family residential community in Holden Beach, NC. It updates rules on building setbacks, dwelling size, noise, parking, large events, and enforcement procedures. The rules apply to all lot owners, residents, and guests.

• Building setbacks & design: No specific setback lines are set; the Association controls site approval. Minimum guides: oceanfront lots must be 100 ft from mean high water, 25 ft from street, 12 ft from sides; other lots must be 50 ft from Boones Channel, 25 ft from street, 12 ft from sides. Waivers may be granted in writing.
• Dwelling size & use: New or remodeled dwellings cannot have more than 8 bedrooms, 10 bathrooms, or features like dance floors, conference rooms, catering kitchens, or outdoor loudspeaker systems. Duplexes are allowed if each half has no more than 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. Lots are restricted to single-family use; no hotel, bed and breakfast, or event venue use except occasional large events as permitted.
• Large events: A Large Event is a gathering exceeding 40 persons (if vendors provide outdoor food, music, or transportation) or 60 persons. Events must be held at an occupied dwelling, scheduled with the Association at least 21 days in advance, limited to 3 per year, 1 per month, and 1 per two consecutive weeks. Only one Large Event per week subdivision-wide.
• Parking & vehicles: Speed limit is 25 mph. No parking on streets, vacant lots, or at occupied dwellings except for owner storage or vendor service. No stopping for loading/unloading on streets. No buses or vans with capacity over 24 passengers. No dwelling trailers, RVs, or campers may be used for sleeping or facilities.
• Noise restrictions: Excessive noise is prohibited. Sound levels cannot exceed 55 dB(A) between 9 am and 9 pm (10:30 pm in June–August) or 50 dB(A) at other times, measured from the street or another lot. No outdoor audio devices capable of producing average sound levels over 65 dBA at the street or property line.
• Trash & solicitation: Trash and garbage must be stored in containers with lids approved by the Board. Solicitation of any type is prohibited without prior Board consent.
• Enforcement & fines: The Association may impose fines up to $100 per violation per day after a hearing, suspend voting rights, suspend common area use, or levy assessments for compliance costs. Fines become a lien on the lot. The Association may also use self-help (e.g., towing vehicles). Owners have a right to a hearing and appeal process.
