Weaver Woods at Lake Emerald

What Weaver Woods at Lake Emerald's governing documents say

Weaver Woods at Lake Emerald is a single-family home subdivision in Wilmington, NC, governed by a homeowners' association (Gordon Road Owners Association). The rules apply to all lot owners and are designed to protect property values and maintain the community's appearance.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and the house on it. The association maintains common areas (open space, pond, private roads, stormwater facilities). You must maintain your lot, including landscaping, drainage swales, and any Class 2 drainage easements on your property.
• Architectural review: All exterior construction, additions, fences, or changes need written approval from the developer (or later the association). Plans are reviewed for harmony of design. Houses must be at least 1,650 heated square feet, with brick exterior unless the developer agrees otherwise. Construction must be completed within 12 months.
• Setbacks & lot use: Buildings must be at least 30 feet from the front lot line, 8 feet from side/rear lines (5 feet for detached garages). Only one single-family home per lot. No trailers, mobile homes, tents, or garage apartments. Fences need approval and cannot be in front of the house's rear corners; max height 6 feet.
• Vehicles & parking: No boats, campers, trailers, motor homes, or trucks over 1 ton may remain on a lot unless stored in an approved enclosed area behind a 6-foot fence. No motorized dirt bikes or ATVs on the property except for maintenance. Signs for sale/rent limited to 10 sq ft.
• Pets: Only domesticated dogs, cats, or household pets are allowed, not for commercial breeding. Must be leashed when outside. Pet shelters must be screened and approved.
• Assessments & fees: Annual assessments fund common area maintenance, insurance, and stormwater management. Maximum annual increase is 5% without a 2/3 vote. Special assessments for capital improvements need 2/3 approval. A one-time $50 working capital fee is due at first sale. Assessments are a lien on the lot.
• Leasing & rentals: The document does not address leasing restrictions. Owners may delegate common area use to tenants.
• What this document doesn't cover: This is the declaration of covenants, conditions, and restrictions. It does not include the association's bylaws, rules and regulations, or current fee amounts. Leasing restrictions, rental caps, and specific pet limits are not addressed.
