provide in the Association Bylaws that the Association shall not enter into voluntary dissolution without
first having transferred its said system and facilities to some person, corporation or other entity acceptable
to and approved by the COMMISSION by the issuance of a permit.

and will erect dwelling units and other improvements, said development to be known as Highlands Cove
(hereinafter the Development).
2.'. The DEVELOPER desires, to construct a wastewater collection system with pumps, wastewater treatment
works; and/or disposal facilities (hereinafter Disposal System) to provide sanitary sewage disposal to
serve the Development on said lands.
3. The DEVELOPER has applied to the COMMISSION for the issuance of a permit pursuant to G.S. 143-
215.1 to construct, maintain, and operate the Disposal System.
4. The. DEVELOPER has created or shall create unit ownership in said dwellings units, other improvements
and lands through. filing of a Declaration of Unit Ownership (hereinafter Declaration), pursuant to Chapter
47C, of the North Carolina General Statutes.
5. The DEVELOPER has caused to be formed or will cause to be formed at the time of filing of the
Declaration, the (Unit Owners' Association) (hereinafter the Association), a non-profit corporation
organized -and existing under and by the virtue of the laws of the State of North Carolina, for the purpose,
among others, of handling the property, affairs and business of the Development; of operating,
maintaining, re -constructing and repairing the common elements of the lands and improvements subject to
unit ownership, including the Disposal System; and of collecting dues and assessments -to provide hinds
for such operation, maintenance, re -construction and repair.
6. The COMMISSION desires to assure that the Disposal System of the Development is properly
