Whiskey Branch at South College

What Whiskey Branch at South College's governing documents say

Whiskey Branch at South College is a large, mixed-use master-planned community in Wilmington, NC, governed by a Master Association that oversees shared roads, landscaping, stormwater facilities, and other common areas. This Master Declaration establishes the framework for the entire development, which includes residential neighborhoods (like the Timbers at Whiskey Branch single-family area) and commercial tracts. It binds all property owners, neighborhood associations, and commercial unit owners within the community.

• Master Association structure & membership: The Master Association includes all Neighborhood Associations (e.g., the Timbers Association) and owners of Separate Commercial Units. Voting is divided into three classes: Class A (residential neighborhoods, initially 10 votes), Class B (commercial neighborhoods/units, initially 26 votes for Tract 1 and 15 for Tract 2), and Class C (Declarant, 52 votes). The Declarant controls the Board during the Class C Control Period, which ends when 95% of property is sold and built out.
• Common areas & maintenance: The Master Association maintains the Common Area, including private streets (Electric Avenue, Seaforth Drive, etc.), entry features, landscaping, medians, stormwater facilities, and other shared amenities. Maintenance costs are allocated among tracts per the Cost-Sharing Declaration, with special assessments possible for areas that serve only certain neighborhoods or units.
• Assessments & fees: Base Assessments are set annually by the Board and allocated pro rata among tracts (Tract 1, 2, 3) as defined in the Cost-Sharing Declaration. Assessments are due quarterly, within 30 days after each quarter. Delinquent amounts accrue interest at 18% per annum plus collection costs. Special Assessments require Declarant consent (during Class C Control) or a majority vote of affected Voting Members afterward.
• Architectural review: An Architectural Review Committee (ARC) interprets and enforces Design Guidelines for all buildings, structures, landscaping, and other improvements. The guidelines cover design, construction, operation, and appearance, and apply to all property within Whiskey Branch at South College.
• Insurance: The Master Association must carry blanket property insurance on common improvements, commercial general liability insurance, and directors & officers liability coverage. Premiums are Common Expenses.
• What this document doesn't cover: This Master Declaration does not set specific rules for individual homeowners (e.g., pet limits, lease terms, parking, or age restrictions). Those rules are found in the separate Timbers Declaration (for the residential neighborhood) or other sub-declarations. It also does not specify amenity details or fee amounts beyond the assessment framework.
