Townes at Cheswick Owners Association Inc

What Townes at Cheswick Owners Association Inc's governing documents say

This is a stormwater maintenance covenant for Townes at Cheswick, a townhome community in Raleigh, NC. It is not a full HOA rulebook; it only governs the maintenance of stormwater control facilities (wetlands) and grants the City of Raleigh easements and enforcement rights. It binds the homeowners' association and all lot owners, and it's relevant to anyone buying or living there because it affects HOA fees and potential city assessments.

• Stormwater facility maintenance responsibility: The homeowners' association is responsible for maintaining the stormwater wetlands (extended detention wetlands at Drainage Points 1 and 3) per the approved manual, including annual inspections and sediment removal every five years.
• Mandatory HOA membership and assessments: All lot owners must be members of the association, which can levy assessments for stormwater maintenance costs. Unpaid assessments become a lien on the lot.
• City enforcement and easements: The City of Raleigh has permanent easements to inspect and, if needed, repair the stormwater facilities. If the association fails to maintain them, the city can do the work and charge the lot owners, potentially through assessments or liens.
• Insurance requirement: The responsible party must carry liability insurance of at least $1,000,000 for the stormwater facilities.
• What this document doesn't cover: This document does not cover typical HOA rules like pets, leasing, architectural review, or parking. Those would be in a separate declaration or bylaws.
