Parmele Woods

What Parmele Woods's governing documents say

Parmele Woods is a single-family home subdivision in Wilmington, NC, governed by a Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&Rs) that run with the land. These rules apply to all lot owners and residents, establishing a uniform plan for residential use, building standards, and property maintenance.

• Land use & building type: Lots are for single-family residential use only. Each lot may have one detached single-family dwelling with a garage for up to two cars (not used as living quarters unless attached to the main residence). Minimum heated floor area is 800 square feet, though the developer may approve smaller plans in writing.
• Architectural review & setbacks: Building plans must be approved by the developer (or successor) before construction. Plans are deemed approved if no response within 20 days, provided they conform to the subdivision's general character. Front setback is at least 30 feet from the street line; side setbacks are at least 10 feet (waived between adjoining lots used as one). Eaves may overhang up to 3 feet, and uncovered stoops/steps are allowed within setbacks.
• Tree removal: No tree with a trunk diameter of 3 inches or more (measured 4 feet above ground) may be cut down without developer approval, except when reasonably necessary for constructing a residence.
• Pets & animals: Only domesticated dogs, cats, or other household pets are allowed. No commercial breeding or keeping of animals that become a nuisance. No limit on number stated, but they must not be a nuisance.
• Vehicles & parking: Unsightly, inoperative junk cars and similar eyesores are prohibited on any lot or street. The developer may remove them at the owner's expense.
• Signs: No signs are allowed on residential lots except 'For Sale' or 'For Rent' signs not exceeding 6 square feet.
• Utilities & easements: The developer reserves 15-foot easements along property lines for utility installation and drainage. Owners must accept community water service and pay their pro rata share of maintenance costs. Sewage disposal is by septic tank until a community or county system is available.
• Maintenance & nuisances: Owners must maintain their lots and improvements in good repair. No dumping of rubbish or garbage except in sanitary containers; outdoor containers must be uniform and shielded from street view. No commercial, noxious, or nuisance activities are allowed.
