Tangle Oaks Yacht Club

What Tangle Oaks Yacht Club's governing documents say

Tangle Oaks Yacht Club is a mixed community of 60 townhouse lots/units and 36 single-family residential lots in Wilmington, NC, governed by an amended declaration of covenants. All property owners are members of the association, which owns and maintains extensive common amenities including a marina, pool, tennis courts, and more. This document is an amendment to the original declaration, so it may not contain the full set of rules.

• Community type & membership: The community has 60 townhouse lots/units and 36 single-family lots. Ownership of any lot automatically includes a membership in the Tangle Oaks Yacht Club, which is appurtenant to the property and cannot be separated.
• Common amenities & maintenance: The association holds title to all common facilities including streets, docks, pool, tennis courts, guard house, parking areas, boat/trailer storage, and open spaces. The association is responsible for maintenance of common areas, including dredging of the marina and entrance channel.
• Boat slips & marina rules: Each membership is assigned one boat slip, with a certificate that transfers with the property. Boat size is restricted to 30 ft LOA generally, with exceptions up to 35 ft on the west wall (slips 82-98). Only one dock box per slip is allowed. Finger piers may be constructed at the member's expense but become association property.
• Assessments & fees: Monthly assessments are determined annually by the board and approved by members. Special assessments for capital improvements require a two-thirds vote. Delinquent payments incur a late penalty (example: $10 first month, escalating) and interest at 10% per annum. Liens may be placed after three months of arrears.
• Use restrictions: No commercial use is allowed on any property, common areas, or marina. No obnoxious or offensive activity is permitted. Temporary structures, trailers, tents, and recreational vehicles (boats, campers, etc.) are not allowed on lots; they must be parked in the designated storage area and registered.
• Pets: Dogs, cats, or other household pets may be kept, but not for commercial purposes. No other animals, livestock, or poultry are allowed.
• Architectural control: Any building, fence, wall, sign, or other structure, or any addition/alteration, requires prior written approval from an Architectural Control Committee (3-5 members, including at least one townhouse owner). The board makes final decisions.
• Enforcement & duration: The association or any member may enforce the covenants. Violations are considered new occurrences each 24-hour period. The declaration runs for 25 years from March 23, 1983, with automatic 10-year extensions. Amendments require a two-thirds vote of all members.
