What Hvfmaster's governing documents say

This is a master declaration for a planned community in Durham, NC, creating a master landscape maintenance association (HVF Master Landscape Maintenance Association, Inc.) that maintains certain public right-of-way landscaping and the Greenway. It applies to property owners (developers and parcel associations) within the Hope Valley Farms area, not directly to individual homeowners. The document establishes assessments, easements, and rules for the common areas, but does not govern individual lot use or architectural standards.

• What the association maintains: The association maintains landscaping, lighting, signage, irrigation, and similar improvements along South Roxboro Street between Carlton Crossing Drive and Martin Luther King Jr. Parkway, and the Greenway if the association owns it. It does not maintain individual homes or lots.
• Assessments & fees: Assessments are levied on owners of Development Parcels (not individual lots) based on acreage, billed to the parcel owner or parcel association. They cover maintenance costs, reserves, and a management fee. Assessments are due within 30 days of billing, and can be levied 1 to 4 times per year.
• Greenway use: All owners have a nonexclusive easement to use the Greenway; tenants and guests have a revocable license. The board can regulate hours, activities, and curfews, and can close portions temporarily. The Greenway is intended for open space, trails, and park use.
• Voting & governance: Each owner of a Development Parcel has one weighted vote per parcel based on acreage, exercised by an Association Delegate. The board has 3-9 members, appointed by the Declarant during the development period, with Westfield having the right to designate one member.
• Amendments & term: The declaration runs for 30 years, then auto-extends in 10-year increments. It can be amended by owners representing 75% of total acreage (plus Declarant consent if it still owns property), or unilaterally by Declarant for certain purposes.
• What this document doesn't cover: This is a master declaration for common-area maintenance only. It does not include rules for individual lots, such as architectural review, pet restrictions, leasing terms, or homeowner conduct. Those would be in separate subdivision or parcel declarations.
