Highland Creek Master Association Inc

What Highland Creek Master Association Inc's governing documents say

This is a City of Raleigh required covenant for Highland Creek, a master-planned community in Raleigh, NC. It binds the Highland Creek Master Association, Inc. and all property owners to city code provisions for common elements, open space, tree conservation, and stormwater. It is not a full rulebook but a supplemental document that ensures the community complies with Raleigh's ordinances.

• What this document covers: This is a City Code Covenant required by Raleigh for developments with common elements. It sets obligations for the association and owners regarding open space, tree conservation, stormwater, insurance, and utility maintenance, and it makes city code control over conflicting governing documents.
• What this document doesn't cover: This document does not contain typical HOA rules like pet limits, leasing restrictions, architectural review, or age restrictions. Those would be in the community's separate Declaration, Bylaws, or other governing documents.
• Open space & tree conservation: Permanently protected undisturbed open space areas cannot be disturbed without a city watercourse permit. Tree conservation areas are protected, and the association holds a conservation easement; tree disturbing activity requires a city permit and may result in significant financial consequences.
• Landscape easements: The association is responsible for maintaining and replanting shrubs and trees in designated landscape easements, and these costs are common expenses. Owners cannot remove vegetation in these areas without the association's written consent.
• Insurance: The association must maintain hazard insurance on common elements and liability insurance of at least $1,000,000 covering common element use. Premiums are common expenses.
• Parking & vehicles: Any restrictions on parking on public streets in governing documents apply only to owners, their family members, and tenants.
• Sight triangles: No sight-obstructing walls, fences, foliage, berms, parked vehicles, or signs between 2 and 8 feet tall are allowed in designated sight triangles. The association, declarant, and city have an easement to remove obstructions.
• Private utility lines: 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 may do the work and charge owners, with late fees and liens for nonpayment.
