Arlington Heights Owners Association Inc

What Arlington Heights Owners Association Inc's governing documents say

This is a City of Raleigh required covenant for Arlington Heights, a residential development in Raleigh, NC, with common elements and a homeowners' association. It binds all property owners and the association to comply with Raleigh's city code, and it supplements the main HOA declaration. It's not a full rulebook; it focuses on city-mandated obligations like tree conservation, stormwater, and utility maintenance.

• What this document is: This is a 'City Code Covenant' required by Raleigh, not a full set of HOA rules. It makes the property and its owners subject to Raleigh's city code, and it will be supplemented by a separate declaration that sets voting rights and assessments.
• Tree conservation & open space: Tree conservation areas and permanently protected undisturbed open space are protected: no tree disturbance or land-disturbing activity without a city permit. The association holds a conservation easement over tree conservation areas and is responsible for maintaining them.
• Landscape easements: The association must maintain and replant shrubs and trees in designated landscape easements, and those costs are common expenses. No vegetation can be removed from those areas without the association's written consent.
• Insurance: The association must carry hazard insurance on common elements and liability insurance of at least $1,000,000, with premiums paid as common expenses.
• Parking on public streets: Any HOA restrictions on parking on public streets apply only to owners, their family members, and tenants—not to the general public.
• Sight triangles: No walls, fences, foliage, berms, parked vehicles, or signs between 2 and 8 feet tall may block sight triangles shown on plats. The association or city can remove obstructions.
• Private utilities & stormwater: Private water and sewer lines serving more than one lot are owned and maintained by the association. If the association fails to maintain them, the city can do the work and bill owners, with liens and late fees for nonpayment.
• What this document doesn't cover: This document does not contain typical HOA rules like pet limits, leasing restrictions, architectural review, or assessment amounts. Those will be in the separate declaration and other governing documents.
