Everett's Creek Lots

What Everett's Creek Lots's governing documents say

This is a standard single-family home HOA for The Landing at Everett's Creek in Sneads Ferry, NC. The declaration governs specific lots and binds all owners to rules about construction, maintenance, and assessments. The HOA (Everett's Creek Lots HOA, Inc.) manages stormwater facilities, non-state maintained streets, and enforces the covenants.

• Residential use & construction: Lots are limited to single-family residential use. Only site-built homes are allowed; no mobile, modular, or manufactured homes. Minimum heated living area is 1,000 sq ft for one-story or 750 sq ft ground floor for two-story. Construction must be completed within 12 months.
• Architectural review: All exterior improvements (buildings, fences, driveways, landscaping) require prior written approval from the Architectural Control Committee (ARC) to ensure harmony of design. Plans are deemed approved if not acted on within 30 days. Repainting to original colors or interior changes not visible from outside do not need approval.
• Assessments & fees: Annual general assessment started at $200 per lot (until Jan 1, 2019) and can be increased up to 20% per year by board vote; larger increases need 2/3 member vote. Special assessments may be levied for stormwater or street maintenance. Unpaid assessments become a lien on the lot and may incur interest and collection costs.
• Parking & vehicles: All parked vehicles must have current plates and inspection. No vehicle repairs on blocks outside a garage. Boats, trailers, RVs cannot be parked between the front of the house and the street. Overnight parking of trucks over one-ton capacity or large trailers is prohibited except in an enclosed garage.
• Pets & animals: Only dogs, cats, or other household pets are allowed, not for commercial purposes. They must be kept within an enclosed fence or leashed and under control at all times. No livestock or poultry.
• Fences & setbacks: Fences over 6 ft high are prohibited. No fences are allowed between the front of the house and the street, except decorative fences up to 1 ft. Setbacks: minimum 8 ft from side/rear property lines (10% variance allowed). Front and side street setbacks per recorded plat.
• Stormwater & environmental restrictions: Each lot has a maximum built-upon area (e.g., 2,000–3,000 sq ft per lot). No filling or piping of vegetative conveyances. Lots adjacent to surface waters must maintain a 50 ft vegetated buffer. Wetlands must be preserved in natural condition; no grading, vegetation removal, or construction.
• Leasing & rentals: The document does not address leasing restrictions or minimum lease terms.
