Upper Reach Extension

What Upper Reach Extension's governing documents say

Upper Reach Extension is a single-family home subdivision in Wilmington, NC, governed by a homeowners' association (HOA). This declaration sets the rules for lot use, architectural control, and common area maintenance, binding all current and future owners.

• Architectural review: All exterior improvements—including buildings, fences, landscaping, and color changes—require prior written approval from the Declarant (or later an Architectural Review Board). Plans are deemed approved if not acted on within 30 days. The Declarant may reject plans for any reason, including aesthetics.
• Minimum house size & construction: Houses must be at least 1,600 square feet of heated living area (Declarant may allow a 10% variance). All buildings must be stick-built with a crawl space or raised slab at least 18 inches high. Mobile homes, modular homes, and temporary structures are prohibited.
• Leasing & rentals: No lease may be for less than six months, and only entire dwelling units may be leased (no room rentals). Leases must be in writing and subject to the declaration, bylaws, and HOA rules.
• Pets & animals: Customary household pets are allowed but not for commercial breeding or as a nuisance. Domestic farm animals and fowl are prohibited. Hunting is not permitted.
• Parking & vehicles: Each owner must provide adequate off-street parking for their household and guests. No wrecked or inoperable vehicles may remain on a lot outside an enclosed structure.
• Signs & antennas: One 'For Sale' or 'For Rent' sign per lot (max 2 ft x 3 ft) is allowed. Satellite dishes over 18 inches and external antennas require prior approval. No billboards or advertising signs are permitted.
• Stormwater & impervious surfaces: No more than 4,000 square feet of any lot may be covered by impervious materials (e.g., concrete, asphalt). Swales may not be filled or altered except for driveway crossings. These restrictions cannot be changed without state consent.
