What Carolina Sands's governing documents say

Carolina Sands is a single-family home subdivision in Wilmington, NC, governed by a Declaration of Restrictions that runs with the land. These rules apply to all lot owners and are designed to maintain the residential character and appearance of the neighborhood.

• Residential use only: All lots must be used for residential purposes only. Single-family or duplex residences are allowed.
• Minimum home size: Single-family homes must be at least 1,000 square feet, and duplexes at least 1,500 square feet (measured by exterior brickwork, excluding porches, garages, etc.).
• Exterior materials: Exteriors must be conventional frame, clay brick, or stucco. Concrete block, concrete brick, asbestos siding, cinder block, aluminum siding, and composition tar paper are prohibited.
• Height and accessory buildings: No structure may exceed 2.5 stories. Accessory buildings (e.g., detached garages) are allowed but must be approved and cannot be built before the main residence.
