What Westchester Subdivision's governing documents say

Westchester Subdivision is a single-family home HOA in Wilmington, NC. These restrictive covenants run with the land and bind all current and future lot owners. The document sets rules for residential use, building size and placement, and property maintenance.

• Land use & building type: Lots are for residential use only. Only one detached single-family dwelling (max 2 stories) and a private garage (max 1 story, no living quarters) are allowed. No temporary structures, trailers, mobile homes, tents, or outbuildings may be used as residences.

• Architectural review: Plans for all dwellings and structures must be approved by the developer (Traco Development Company) or its successor. If no response is received within 20 days of submission, plans are deemed approved as long as the structure is in general conformity with others in the subdivision.
