Covil Crossing at Covil Estates

What Covil Crossing at Covil Estates's governing documents say

Covil Crossing at Covil Estates is a planned community of 63 single-family patio home lots in Wilmington, NC, governed by a homeowners association (Covil Crossing Owners Association, Inc.). This declaration of covenants, conditions, and restrictions (CC&Rs) runs with the land and binds all owners, residents, and their guests. The community is part of a larger master-planned area with shared road maintenance obligations to neighboring HOAs (Snug Harbour and Pepper Tree) and mandatory membership in Covil Estates Amenities, Inc., which operates the pool, tennis courts, and clubhouse.

• What you own & maintain: You own your individual lot and the patio home on it. The association maintains common elements (open space, drainage, streets, entrances) and pays ad valorem taxes on common areas. Each lot owner is responsible for their own property taxes and must keep their lot clean and free of hazards.
• Use restrictions: Each unit must be occupied by a single family for residential purposes only. No unit may be subdivided, and no single rooms may be rented. No use may be a source of annoyance to residents or interfere with peaceful enjoyment. All valid laws and zoning ordinances must be observed.
• Leasing & rentals: No single rooms may be rented. The declaration does not specify a minimum lease term or other rental restrictions beyond the single-family occupancy requirement.
• Pets: The declaration does not address pets. The association may adopt rules and regulations regarding pets through its by-laws.
• Assessments & fees: The association may levy regular and special assessments against all lot owners to fund common expenses (maintenance of common areas, drainage, streets, and amenities). Unpaid assessments become a lien on the lot. Additionally, each lot owner must pay a monthly road maintenance assessment ($8/month to Snug Harbour HOA and $4/month to Pepper Tree HOA) collected by Covil Crossing HOA. The developer (Declarant) is exempt from assessments on unsold lots.
• Architectural review: The declaration does not establish an architectural review committee for Covil Crossing, but Lot 63 (if developed) is subject to the Snug Harbour HOA's Architectural Review Committee. The developer retains the right to replat lots and modify boundaries with prior written consent.
• Stormwater & environmental restrictions: Each lot has a maximum impervious surface area of 3,064 square feet. A 30-foot vegetated buffer must be maintained between impervious areas and surface waters. Roof drains must terminate at least 30 feet from the mean high water mark. Wetland conservation areas must remain undisturbed; no filling, grading, vegetation removal, or construction is allowed. These covenants run with the land and are enforceable by the State of North Carolina and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
• Road maintenance & access easements: All roadways within the properties must allow two-way traffic. Owners and operators are subject to fines for traffic violations. Covil Crossing, Snug Harbour, and Pepper Tree have mutual easements for ingress, egress, and utilities over each other's roads. The association maintains a 30-foot private right-of-way for access.
