What Columbia Street Master Association's governing documents say
Columbia Street Master Association is a master-level association for two condominium communities (17 and 19 Columbia Street) in Wilmington, NC. This declaration governs the master common areas (like driveways, landscaping, and gates) shared by both condominiums. Unit owners in the two condominiums are automatically members and pay assessments to maintain these shared areas.
- What this document covers: This is a master association declaration that sets up the Columbia Street Master Association to own, operate, and maintain the master common elements shared by two separate condominium projects (17 and 19 Columbia Street). It does not contain the full rules for individual units—those are in each condominium's own declaration.
- Membership & voting: Every owner of a condominium unit in either 17 or 19 Columbia Street is a member of the master association. Each unit gets one vote, regardless of how many people own it. The developer (Declarant) retains special rights until the earlier of 20 years or transfer.
- Assessments & fees: The association levies annual assessments based on a budget ratified by unit owners (unless a majority rejects it). Special assessments for capital improvements require a majority vote. Assessments are a personal obligation of the owner and a lien on the unit if unpaid for 30+ days. Late fees and interest apply.
- Use of master common areas: All members and their guests have a right to use the master common areas (e.g., driveways, landscaping, gates), subject to association rules. The association can limit the number of guests and levy fines for violations.
- Rules & enforcement: The association may adopt and enforce reasonable rules for the properties. Sanctions include fines, suspension of voting rights and common area use, and self-help to cure violations. The association can also enforce county and municipal ordinances.
- Architectural control: No exterior changes, additions, or painting may be made without written approval from the Declarant (or later the board or an architectural committee) as to harmony of design and location.
- Parking & vehicles: No boats, trailers, inoperative cars, or similar vehicles may be left in the swimming pool common areas without board consent. Parking must not impede access to master common areas, and owners must obey posted parking and traffic regulations.
- Pets: Animals must be kept on a leash at all times when outside a unit, and owners must clean up pet waste.
