This is an amended declaration of covenants, conditions, and restrictions for South Bridge (formerly Lennon Hills), a planned community in Bolivia, NC, governed by the North Carolina Planned Community Act. It applies to all lot owners in the community, which includes single-family homes and townhomes, and establishes a master homeowners association. The document sets out property rights, assessments, use restrictions, architectural review, and a conservation area.

The developer (Declarant) retains control until certain conditions are met, and may annex additional property. The association maintains common elements and limited common elements (e.g., townhome exteriors).
• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and dwelling. For townhomes, the association maintains the exterior (roofs, siding, decks, porches, gutters, yards within privacy fences).
