Pearsons Heritage

What Pearsons Heritage's governing documents say

This is the declaration of covenants, conditions, and restrictions for Pearson Heritage, a planned community of single-family homes in Jackson Township, Nash County, North Carolina. It establishes a homeowners association (Pearson Heritage Homeowners Association, Inc.) and sets rules for all lot owners, including architectural control, use restrictions, and assessments. The community includes a 6.41-acre pond (Lake Pearson) and private streets, with common areas maintained by the association.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and the dwelling on it; the association owns and maintains the common elements, including Lake Pearson, Sheldon Road, and any amenities. Each lot owner is responsible for maintaining their own property, including waterfront shorelines and vegetation buffers, and must keep the lot free of tall grass, debris, and unsightly conditions.
• Architectural review: All construction, alterations, fences, decks, and other improvements require prior written approval from the Architectural and Pond Control Committee. Plans must be submitted showing design, materials, and location, and must be approved for harmony with existing structures. Setbacks are specified: front 50 feet, side 15 feet, rear 30 feet, corner 25 feet, with a 100-foot front setback for Lot 1.
• Building & size restrictions: Only one detached single-family dwelling per lot, not exceeding 2.5 stories. Minimum heated floor area is 1,800 square feet (with at least 1,000 square feet on the first floor for multi-story homes). No mobile homes, modular homes, trailers, or temporary structures may be used as residences.
• Pets & animals: No animals, livestock, or poultry may be raised or kept for commercial purposes. You may keep up to two dogs per lot, plus cats or other household pets, provided you comply with association rules and Nash County animal ordinances.
• Parking & vehicles: No stripped, wrecked, or junked vehicles; all vehicles must have current registration and inspection. Trucks over one ton and RVs cannot be regularly parked on lots or streets, and any motor home, boat, camper, or trailer must be kept out of sight of other lots or streets. Driveways must be paved with concrete or asphalt.
• Pond use & maintenance: Lake Pearson is for recreational use by all lot owners. Gasoline-powered boats are prohibited, and no boat deemed unreasonably noisy is allowed. Piers and bulkheads require committee approval, with piers limited to 40 feet in length; boathouses are not allowed. Waterfront owners must maintain their shoreline and prevent runoff pollution.
• Assessments & fees: All lot owners pay assessments prorated equally per lot, set by the board based on an annual budget. Assessments are due monthly or as determined by the board. Unpaid assessments accrue interest up to 18% per year and can become a lien on the property, enforceable after 60 days delinquency.
• What this document doesn't cover: This excerpt does not specify the exact dollar amount of assessments, the number of lots in the community, or any age restrictions. It also does not include the association's bylaws or rules and regulations, which may contain additional requirements.
