What Sandstep Pool Owners Association, Inc.'s governing documents say
This document establishes the Sandstep Pool Owners Association, a condominium community in Wilmington, NC, where unit owners share ownership of a swimming pool common area. The association manages and maintains the pool area, funded by assessments on each unit. This is a partial document — it covers only the pool common area, not the full condominium rules for the units themselves.
- What this document covers: This declaration and bylaws govern only the 'Swimming Pool Common Area' (a 33' x 50' pool area) at 618 Carolina Beach Avenue North. It does not contain rules for the condominium units, such as leasing, pets, or unit maintenance.
- Who belongs to the association: Every owner of a condominium unit in the development (as described in the referenced deeds) is automatically a member of the Sandstep Pool Owners Association. Membership cannot be separated from unit ownership.
- Voting rights: Each unit gets one vote. The declarant (developer) has special voting rights until 90% of units are sold or December 31, 2010, whichever comes first.
- Assessments & fees: The association levies annual assessments based on an adopted budget, plus special assessments for capital improvements (approved by a majority of voting members) and insurance assessments. Assessments are a personal obligation of the owner and a lien on the unit if unpaid.
- Use of the pool area: All members and their guests have a right to use the pool common area, subject to association rules. The association may limit the number of guests, charge admission fees, and suspend use rights for unpaid assessments or rule violations (up to 60 days).
- Rules & enforcement: The board may adopt and enforce reasonable rules. Violations can result in fines, suspension of voting rights and pool access, and self-help remedies. The association may also enforce county and municipal ordinances.
- Architectural control: No exterior changes or additions to the pool common area may be made without written approval from the declarant or, after all units are sold, the board or an architectural committee.
- Insurance: The association must maintain property and liability insurance on the pool common area (minimum $1,000,000 liability coverage). Premiums are a common expense.
