What Gateway Business Park's governing documents say
Gateway Business Park is a commercial subdivision in Wilmington, NC, governed by a Declaration of Restrictions that applies to lot owners. This is not a residential community; it is a business park where lots are used for commercial facilities. The document establishes an owners' association to manage common areas, primarily a stormwater retention pond and landscaping, and imposes assessments on lot owners.
- What you own & maintain: You own your lot in fee simple. You are responsible for maintaining drainage and utility easements on your lot, including keeping them free of obstructions and not altering grading without approval. The association maintains the common area (retention pond and landscaping).
- Assessments & fees: Annual general assessments are set by the board and are the same for each lot. Special assessments may be levied by majority vote of members. Assessments are a lien on the lot; unpaid assessments accrue interest and collection costs. The first assessments for Tracts 1 and 3A began January 1996.
- Use restrictions: All lots are restricted to commercial use only. No residential use is permitted. Lots must comply with state stormwater regulations regarding impervious surfaces and drainage.
- Stormwater & drainage: The association maintains the stormwater retention pond and runoff system. Lot owners must maintain drainage easements on their property and cannot alter drainage patterns without approval. The state of North Carolina is a beneficiary of these restrictions.
- Association & voting: Each lot owner is a member of the Gateway Business Park Owners' Association. Each lot has one vote. The board initially consisted of one director per lot, with declarant controlling elections until January 1996.
- Duration & amendments: The restrictions run for 20 years from recording (1995), automatically renewing for successive 10-year periods. Amendments require approval of owners of at least two-thirds of the lots.
