Snows Cut Market Place

What Snows Cut Market Place's governing documents say

This is a commercial reciprocal easement and restriction document for Snows Cut Market Place, a shopping center in Wilmington, NC. It governs the use and development of four outparcels (1, 2, 4, and 9) and is intended for commercial property owners, tenants, and developers, not for residential homeowners or renters.

• Permitted & prohibited uses: The document restricts uses within 500 feet of the grocery store entrance (e.g., no restaurants, theaters, child care centers, etc.) and prohibits certain uses anywhere in the shopping center (e.g., animal raising, industrial uses, religious uses, adult entertainment). Specific restaurants are allowed with conditions (max 1 story, 25 ft height, 5 parking spaces per 1,000 sq ft, no on-premises alcohol sales exceeding 50% of revenue).
• Exclusive use area for grocery store: Within one mile of the shopping center, no outparcel owner may lease or sell property for use as a grocery store, supermarket, or convenience store, or for sale of specific items (e.g., packaged meat, produce, dairy, bakery, flowers, alcohol for off-premises consumption) without Declarant's consent.
• Easements for access & utilities: Reciprocal, perpetual easements are granted for vehicular/pedestrian ingress/egress and for utilities (sewer, stormwater drainage) among the outparcels. Each owner must maintain the easement on their parcel in commercially reasonable condition.
• Maintenance obligations: Each outparcel owner must keep their property (buildings, grounds, easements) well-maintained, including litter removal, lawn care, snow/ice removal, and parking lot striping. If they fail, Declarant may perform maintenance and charge the owner, with the cost becoming a lien.
• Design & construction standards: Buildings are limited to one story or 25 feet (except Outparcel 4 hotel). All utilities must be underground. Exterior lighting must avoid glare. Signs require Declarant's written approval. Loading docks must not face streets. Roof equipment must be screened.
• Insurance: Each outparcel owner must carry liability insurance with commercially reasonable limits and name other outparcel owners as additional insureds.
• Term & amendment: The declaration runs for an initial 20-year term, automatically renewing for two additional 20-year terms (total 60 years). Amendments require Declarant's consent and joinder of all outparcel owners and mortgagees.
• What this document doesn't cover: This document does not create a homeowners association, impose fees on residents, or regulate residential use. It is a commercial property restriction and does not address leasing terms for residential tenants, pet rules, or age restrictions.
