Shoreline at Channel Walk Townhouses

What Shoreline at Channel Walk Townhouses's governing documents say

This is a declaration for the Shoreline at Channel Walk Boatowners Association, a boat-slip membership community in Wilmington, NC. It governs the use of boat slips and common dock facilities, not the townhouse units themselves. The rules bind members who own a membership (tied to townhouse ownership or lot ownership in Channel Walk).

• Membership & boat slip rights: There are 24 Class A memberships (one per townhouse) and Class B memberships for additional slips. Each membership gets an assigned boat slip with exclusive use, subject to association rules. Memberships transfer only with the townhouse (Class A) or to eligible owners (Class B).
• Assessments & fees: The board sets annual and special assessments for common expenses, including dock maintenance, insurance, and dredging. Assessments are a lien on the membership and a personal obligation of the owner. Nonpayment leads to interest (6% per annum) and potential foreclosure.
• Use restrictions: No commercial use of boat slips or common area. No obnoxious or offensive activity. The board may adopt rules for use of the properties and boat slips.
• Architectural control: Any structure (building, fence, wall, sign) on common area or property requires board approval. Members may build a floating dock adjacent to their slip with approval, but maintenance is their responsibility. Only one dock box per slip, subject to board specifications.
• Maintenance responsibilities: The association maintains the common area, docks, and boat slips. Members are responsible for maintaining any floating dock they construct. If a member fails to maintain, the association may do so and charge the cost as a special assessment.
• Insurance: The association carries property and liability insurance on common property (excluding member personal property). Members may insure their own personal property separately.
• Enforcement & amendments: The association or any member may enforce the declaration. Amendments require a two-thirds vote of all members. The declaration runs for 25 years from recording (1978), with automatic 10-year extensions.
• What this document doesn't cover: This document does not cover rules for the townhouse units themselves (e.g., pet limits, leasing, parking) or any amenities beyond the boat dock facility. Those may be in separate documents for the townhouse community.
