Blue Heron Reserve Owners Association, Inc.

What Blue Heron Reserve Owners Association, Inc.'s governing documents say

Blue Heron Reserve is a small condominium community in Kure Beach, NC, consisting of one building with just two residential units. You own your unit and share ownership of the common elements (land, building exterior, amenities like a swimming pool and beach access walkway) with the other owner. The association maintains the common areas and carries master insurance, funded by assessments on each unit.

• What you own & maintain: You own the interior of your unit (walls, floors, ceilings, fixtures). The association maintains the common elements (building exterior, roof, foundations, yards, parking, pool, beach walkway). You are responsible for maintaining your unit and for repairs to limited common elements like your HVAC system, windows, doors, and outdoor shower. The association maintains and paints the exterior of windows and doors.
• Leasing & rentals: Units may be rented only as entire units (no partial rentals). Leases must be for a term of at least six months. The document does not specify a maximum lease term or require association approval of tenants.
• Pets: The declaration does not mention pets. The board may adopt rules and regulations regarding pets, but no specific pet restrictions are stated in this document.
• Use restrictions: Units are for residential use only. No obnoxious or unlawful activity is allowed. No signs, flags, or banners may be displayed without board approval. No planting of shrubs or other plantings without prior written permission. Parking is allowed only in designated areas. Nothing may be done that increases insurance rates on the common elements or any unit.
• Assessments & fees: Each unit owner pays a share of common expenses (50% per unit). Assessments are due at least quarterly. Unpaid assessments accrue interest and become a lien on the unit, enforceable by foreclosure. The board may also suspend voting rights and recreational facility use for nonpayment.
• Alterations & improvements: No structural additions, alterations, or improvements may be made without prior written board approval. The board must respond to a written request within 30 days; failure to respond constitutes approval. Non-structural alterations are allowed with notice to the association, provided they do not affect structural soundness.
• Insurance: The association carries property insurance on the building and common elements (replacement cost, all-risk), liability insurance (minimum $500,000 per person/$1,000,000 per occurrence), and fidelity coverage. Each unit owner must insure their own unit and personal property. Insurance proceeds for damage are held by the board as trustee and used for repair or distributed to owners if not rebuilt.
• Voting & governance: Each unit has one vote. A 100% quorum is required for unit owner meetings. The board consists of two directors (one per unit). Amendments to the declaration require unanimous owner approval. The bylaws could be amended by the developer until June 30, 2006; thereafter, unanimous owner approval is required.
