Chapel Townes Townhome Association Inc

What Chapel Townes Townhome Association Inc's governing documents say

This is an ancillary document — a stormwater maintenance covenant recorded by the developer (Buffaloe Road Investments, LLC) for Chapel Townes, a townhome community in Raleigh, NC. It binds the Chapel Townes Townhome Association, Inc. and all lot owners to maintain the community's stormwater drainage facilities in perpetuity, as required by the City of Raleigh. It does not contain the community's main rules (e.g., architectural limits, pet rules, leasing restrictions).

• Stormwater maintenance obligation: The Association (or a designated commercial lot owner) must maintain all stormwater control facilities — ponds, drains, swales, filters, etc. — per a City-approved Operations & Maintenance Manual and Budget.
• Required liability insurance: The responsible party must carry at least $1,000,000 in liability insurance for the stormwater facilities as a routine cost of maintenance.
• Lien and assessment power for stormwater costs: If an Association is responsible, it may levy assessments for stormwater costs; unpaid assessments become a lien on the lot. If a commercial lot owner is responsible, delinquent charges after 30 days are a default, allowing legal action plus interest and collection costs.
• City's enforcement rights: The City of Raleigh has a permanent right to enter, inspect, and, if the facilities are not properly maintained, perform repairs and charge the full cost back to all served lots — including by levying its own assessment that becomes a lien.
• Perpetual term and amendments: The covenant runs with the land forever. Amendments require City approval and, after the developer phase, consent of two-thirds of lot owners.
• Restrictions on undisturbed open space: Areas shown on the plat as 'permanently protected undisturbed open space' may not be disturbed, built on, or cleared without a City watercourse buffer permit.
• What this document doesn't cover: This is not a full set of homeowner/tenant rules. It does not cover architectural review, pets, parking, leasing terms, noise, or other typical HOA regulations. Those would be in a separate Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&Rs) or Association bylaws.
