Chastain of Raleigh Community Association Inc

What Chastain of Raleigh Community Association Inc's governing documents say

This is a maintenance covenant and easement document for the Chastain of Raleigh community, a planned residential subdivision in Raleigh, NC. It is not a full rulebook; it specifically governs the stormwater control facilities serving Phases 9 and 10, and it binds the homeowners association (Chastain of Raleigh Community Association, Inc.) and all lot owners in those phases. The document is primarily for the association and the City of Raleigh, but it also informs homeowners about their obligations regarding stormwater maintenance.

• Stormwater maintenance responsibility: The association is responsible for maintaining the stormwater control facilities in accordance with the Operations and Maintenance Manual, and all lot owners in Phases 9 and 10 are jointly and severally responsible for repairs, replacement, and maintenance of these facilities. Failure to maintain them can result in significant daily civil penalties and other enforcement actions by the City.
• Assessments and liens: The association has the power to levy assessments for stormwater maintenance costs, and unpaid assessments become a lien on the lot. The City can also assess costs against lots if the association fails to reimburse the City for maintenance work.
• City access and easements: The City of Raleigh has permanent, irrevocable easements over the property to inspect and maintain the stormwater facilities, including access via private streets and drainage easements. The City may enter the property to perform maintenance if the facilities are not properly maintained.
• Reserve fund guidance: The document includes a proposed reserve fund schedule suggesting an annual contribution of $2,550.33 per year (based on a $76,510 initial construction cost and 30-year expected life) to fund major repairs or replacement of the stormwater facilities.
• What this document doesn't cover: This document does not contain general community rules such as architectural guidelines, pet restrictions, leasing rules, or other typical HOA covenants. Those are found in the separate Amended and Restated Declaration of Protective Covenants for Chastain of Raleigh.
