Landfall

What Landfall's governing documents say

Landfall is a master-planned community in Wilmington, NC, with multiple separate subdivisions. This document is the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, Easements and Restrictions for the Villas at Landfall Subdivision, a single-family detached home neighborhood within the larger Landfall development. It establishes the Villas at Landfall Owners Association and sets rules for lot owners.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and the improvements on it, and you are responsible for exterior upkeep (painting, roofing, gutters, etc.). The Association maintains the grounds around each lot (grass, shrubs, trees) and the private streets and driveways.
• Assessments & fees: Annual assessments started at $250 per lot (through 1990) and can increase each year by up to 10% or the Consumer Price Index increase, whichever is greater. Special assessments for capital improvements require a 2/3 vote of each membership class. Assessments are a lien on the lot and a personal obligation of the owner.
• Architectural review: No site preparation, construction, or exterior alterations (including fences, signs, landscaping, play equipment) may begin without written approval from the Board or an Architectural Committee. Approval is based on harmony of design and location; the Board has sole discretion. If no decision is made within 30 days of complete submission, approval is deemed given.
• Use restrictions: Lots are for detached single-family residential use only. The Association can regulate or prohibit TV antennas and satellite dishes on individual lots. Owners may delegate use of common elements to family, tenants, or contract purchasers who reside on the property.
• Leasing & rentals: The document mentions that owners may delegate their right to use common elements to tenants, but does not specify minimum lease terms or other rental restrictions. (Note: Article X on Sales, Repurchase and Rentals is referenced in the table of contents but the text is not included in this excerpt.)
• Membership & voting: Every lot owner is a member of the Association. There are two classes: Class A (all owners except Declarant) with one vote per lot, and Class B (Declarant) with three votes per lot. Class B converts to Class A when Class A votes equal Class B votes, or 5 years after the first lot is conveyed.
• Common elements & amenities: Common elements include all property not part of individual lots, such as roads, walkways, and recreational facilities. The Association may charge fees for use of recreational facilities and may suspend use rights for unpaid assessments or rule violations (up to 60 days).
• Relationship to larger Landfall community: The Villas at Landfall is part of the larger Landfall development. The Association may contract with the Landfall Property Owners Association for maintenance of roads and common areas, and pass through those assessments to lot owners. Lot owners are not members of the larger association unless a merger occurs.
