a member.
ARTICLE VI. ASSESSMENTS shall be amended as follows:
Sections 1. Through Section 9., inclusive, shall be amended to
read as follows:
"Section 1. Creation of the Lien and Personal Obligation

it shall be so expressed in such deed, covenants and
agrees to pay to the Association, and, through the
1
Inst # 211060 Book 1948Page: 94
Association to the Master Association, Annual and Special
Assessments, (collectively the "Assessments").
The Assessments, together with interest, costs and
reasonable attorney's fees, shall be a charge on the land
and shall be a continuing lien upon the respective Lot
against which the Assessments are made. Each Assessment,
together with interest, costs and reasonable attorney's
fees, shall also be the personal obligation of the person
who was the Owner of such Lot at the time when the
Assessment fell due. The personal obligation for
delinquent Assessments shall not pass to the Owner's
successors in title unless expressly assumed by them.
Section 2. Purpose of Assessments. The Assessments

the following purposes --operation, maintenance and
improvement of the Common Property and any drainage or
utility easements within the Subdivision; landscaping
and/or fencing of easements reserved over Lots; enforcing
this Declaration; paying taxes and any insurance premiums
on or for the Common Property and any drainage or utility
easements within the Subdivision, legal and accounting
fees and governmental charges; establishing working
capital; and in addition, doing any other things
necessary or desirable to further the above purposes. It
is expressly understood that assessments levied by the

state maintained roads which provide access to the
subdivision.
Section 3. Annual Assessments. Annual Assessments
shall be in an amount to be fixed from year to year by
the Board which may establish different rates from year
to year as it may deem necessary for the purposes set
forth in Section 2 above. The amount of the Annual
Assessment against each Lot for any given year shall be
fixed prior to January 1 of such year; provided, however,
that the first Annual Assessment shall be set prior to
the conveyance of the first Lot to an Owner and written
notice to the Owners to be subjected thereto shall be
delivered to the Owners at or prior to the closing of
their Lots. Written notice of each Annual Assessment
thereafter shall be sent to every Owner subject thereto.
The due date shall be established by the Board and the
Board shall have the authority to allow the assessments
to be paid in pro rata installments. The Association
shall, upon demand, and for a reasonable charge furnish
a certificate signed by an officer of the Association
setting forth whether the assessments on a specified Lot
have been paid.
A. From and after January 1 of the year
immediately following the conveyance of the first Lot to
an Owner, the Annual Assessment may be increased each
year not more than five percent (5%) above the Annual
Assessment for the previous year without a vote of the
Members.
K
Inst # 211060 Book 1948Page: 95
B. From and after January 1 of the year
immediately following the conveyance of the first Lot to
an Owner, the Annual Assessment may be increased above
five percent (5%) only by a vote of the Owners of two-
thirds (2/3rds) of the Lots, voting in person or by proxy
at a meeting duly called for such purpose.
C. The Board may increase the amount of the
Annual Assessment to Four Hundred Fifty Dollars ($450.00)
per Lot notwithstanding the provisions of subparagraphs
A and B above, and thereafter the limitations set forth
in said subsections shall apply to an annual increase.
Section 4. Special Assessments for Capital
Improvements . In addition to the Annual Assessments
authorized above, the Association may levy, in any
assessment year equally against the Lots, a Special
Assessment applicable to the year only for the purpose of
defraying, in whole or in part, the cost of any
construction, reconstruction, repair or replacement of a
capital improvement upon the Common Property or any
drainage or utility easement in the Subdivision, whether
owned by the Association or not, including fixtures and
personal property related thereto, provided that any such
assessment shall be approved by vote of the Owners of
two-thirds (2/3rds) of the Lots voting in person or by
proxy at a meeting duly called for such purpose. Further,
the Association may assess its members to pay for
assessments levied upon the Association by the Master
Association.
Section 5. Notice and Ouorum For Anv Action
Required to be Approved by the Members Under Sections 3
and 4. Written notice of any meeting called for the
purpose of taking any action by the Members authorized
under Section 3 and 4 shall be sent to all Members not
less than thirty (30) days nor more than sixty (60) days
in advance of the meeting. At the first such meeting
called, the presence of Owners or of proxies entitled to
cast the votes for sixty percent (60%) of all of the Lots
shall constitute a quorum. If a quorum is not present at
such meeting, the meeting may be adjourned for lack of a
quorum, until a date specified in the motion to adjourn
for lack of a quorum, on which date a second meeting
shall be held. The required quorum at such second
meeting shall be one-half (1/2) of the required quorum at
the first meeting. No such second meeting shall be held
more than sixty (60) days following the first meeting.
Section 6. Uniform Rate of Assessment. The
Assessments must be fixed at the same amount for each Lot
and may be collected on a monthly basis. Provided,
however, in the event that maintenance, repair or
replacement of any part of the Common Property is caused
through the willful, or negligent act of an Owner, his
family, guests or invitees, the cost of such maintenance,
replacement, or repairs, shall be added to and become a
part of the Assessment to which such Owner's Lot is
subject.

assessment for the Lot for such first year shall

Assessments, except as may be required by law to do so.
Section 8. Effect of Nonpavment of Assessments And
Remedies Of The Association. Any Assessment, whether it
be levied by the Association or the Master Association,
not paid within thirty (30) days after the due date shall
bear interest from the due date of the highest rate
allowable by law. The Association may bring an action at
law against the Owner personally obligated to pay the
same, or foreclose the lien against the Lot. No Owner
may waive or otherwise escape liability for the
Assessments provided for herein by non-use of the Common
Property or abandonment of his Lot. All unpaid
installment payments of Assessments shall become
immediately due and payable if an Owner fails to pay any
installment within the time permitted.
Section 9. Subordination Of The Lien To Mortgage.
The lien of the Assessments provided for herein shall be
subordinate to the lien of any first mortgage or deed of
trust. Sale or transfer of any Lot shall not affect the
Assessment lien. However, the sale or transfer of any
Lot pursuant to mortgage foreclosure or any proceeding in
lieu thereof, shall extinguish the lien of such
Assessments as to payments which became due prior to such
sale or transfer. No sale or transfer shall relieve such
Lot from liability for any Assessments thereafter
becoming due or from the lien thereof.
Add the following as Section 10.
"Section 10. Action by Master Association. All
Owners acknowledge and agree that the Master Association
may, in its sole discretion, levy assessments, both
regular as well as special assessments for such lawful

Assessments are made. Each Assessment, together with interest,
costs and reasonable attorney's fees, shall also be the personal
obligation of the person who was the Owner of such Lot at the time

delinquent Assessments shall not pass to the Owner's successors in

Annual Assessment thereafter shall be sent to every Owner subject
thereto. The due date shall be established by the Board and the

of the Association setting forth whether the assessments on a
specified Lot have been paid.

following the conveyance of the first Lot to an Owner, the
Annual Assessment may be increased each year not more than
five percent (5%) above the Annual Assessment for the previous
year without a vote of the Members.
B. From and after January 1 of the year immediately
following the conveyance of the first Lot to an Owner, the
Annual Assessment may be increased above five percent (5%)
only by a vote of the Owners of two-thirds (2/3rds) of the
Lots, voting in person or by;proxy at a meeting duly called
for such purpose.
C. The Board may increase the amount of the Annual

shall apply to an annual increase.
Section 4. Snecial Assessments for Capital Improvements. In
addition to the Annual Assessments authorized above, the

improvement upon the Common Property or any drainage or utility
easement in the Subdivision, whether owned by the Association or
not, including fixtures and personal property related thereto,
provided that any such assessment shall be approved by vote of the
Owners of two-thirds (2/3rds) of the Lots voting in person or by
proxy at a meeting duly called for such purpose.

sixty percent (60%) of all of the Lots shall constitute a quorum.

Section 8. Effect of Nonpayment of Assessments And Remedies
Of The Association. Any Assessment or installment thereof not paid
within thirty (30) days after the due date shall bear interest from
the due date of the highest rate allowable by law. The Association
may bring an action at law against the Owner personally obligated
to pay the same, or foreclose the lien against the Lot. No Owner
may waive or otherwise escape liability for the Assessments
provided for herein by non-use of the Common Property or
abandonment of his Lot. All unpaid installment payments of
Assessments shall become immediately due and payable if an Owner
fails to pay any installment within the time permitted.
Section 9. Subordination Of The Lien To Mortgage. The lien
of the Assessments provided for herein shall be subordinate to the
lien of any first mortgage or deed of trust. Sale or transfer of
any Lot shall not affect the Assessment lien. However, the sale or
transfer of any Lot pursuant to mortgage foreclosure or any
proceeding in lieu thereof, shall extinguish the lien of such
Assessments as to payments which became due prior to such sale or
transfer. No sale or transfer shall relieve such Lot from
liability for any Assessments thereafter becoming due or from the
lien thereof.
ARTICLE VII.
ARCHITECTURAL CONTROL/CONSTRUCTION
Section 1. Developer's Rights. All rights, duties and
responsibilities conferred by this Article shall be exercised and
performed by the Developer or its designee, so long as the
Developer owns any Lot within the Subdivision. When the Developer
no longer owns any Lot within the Subdivision, all such rights,
duties and responsibilities shall be exercised and performed by the
Association, which may delegate the same to an Architectural
Control Committee appointed by the Board.
Section 2. Building and Site Improvements. No structure
(including but not limited to dwellings, walls, fences, garages,
and outbuildings) shall be commenced, erected, placed, or
maintained upon any Lot, nor shall any exterior addition to or
change in or alteration therein (including painting or repainting
of exterior surfaces) be made until the plans and specifications
showing the nature, kind, shape, heights, materials, colors and
location of the same shall have been submitted in writing and
approved in writing as to harmony of external design and location
in relation to surrounding structures and topography. If such
written }Mans and specifications are not approved or disapproved in
writing within thirty (30) days after the same have been submitted,
approval under, this Article will not be required and this Article
will be deemed to have been fully complied with. Approval or
disapproval of any such plans, location or specifications may be
based upon any ground, including purely aesthetic and environmental
considerations, that may in the sole and uncontrolled discretion of
the Developer, the Association, or Architectural Control Committee,
as the case may be, be deemed sufficient. One copy of all such
plans, specifications, and related data shall be furnished to the
Developer, the Association, or Architectural Control Committee, as
the case may be, to retain for its records. Neither the Developer,
the Association, nor the Architectural Control Committee shall be
responsible for any structural or other defects in plans and
specifications submitted to it or any structure erected according
to such plans and specifications.

B1(1259 @G 1022
Section 3. Approval of Plans. No house plans will be
approved unless the proposed house shall have a minimum of Two
Thousand Two Hundred (2200) square feet of enclosed, heated
dwelling area for Lots 1 through 20, inclusive, and a minimum of
Two Thousand Five Hundred (2500) square feet of enclosed, heated
dwelling area for Lots 21 through 32, inclusive. .The term
"enclosed, heated dwelling area" as used in the minimum
requirements shall be the total enclosed area within a dwelling
which is heated by a common heating system; provided, however, that
such term does not include garages, terraces, decks, open porches,
and like areas.
Section 4. Setbacks. Since the establishment of inflexible
building setback lines for location of houses on lots tends to
force construction of houses directly to the side of other homes
with detrimental effects on privacy, view, preservation of
important trees and other vegetation, ecological and related
considerations, no specific setback lines shall be established by
this Declaration. In order to assure, however, that the foregoing
considerations are given maximum effect, the site and location of
any house or dwelling or other structure upon any lot shall be
controlled by and must be approved absolutely by the Developer, the
Association, or the Architectural Control Committee, as the case
may be; provided, however, that no dwelling shall be constructed
closer than ten (10) feet to an adjoining property line.
Section 5. Completion. The exterior of all houses and other
structures must be completed within twelve (12) months after the
construction of same shall have commenced, except where such
completion is impossible or would result in great hardship to the
Owner or builder, due to strikes, fires, national emergency or
natural emergency or natural calamities.
Section 6. Single Family Residences. No structure shall be
erected, altered, placed or permitted to remain on any Lot, except
one single family dwelling not to exceed two and a half stories in
height, unless the Developer, the Association, or the Architectural
Control Committee, as the case may be, approves in writing a
structure of more than two and one-half stories, and one or more
small accessory buildings (which may include a detached private
garage, or guest facilities) provided the use of such dwelling or
accessory building does not in the opinion of the Developer, the
Association, or Architectural Control Committee overcrowd the site,
and provided further, that such buildings are not used for any
activity normally conducted as a business.
Section 7. Utility Services, Mail Boxes, Fences Etc All
utility service lines and facilities, fuel tanks, clothes lines and
wood piles are to be enclosed within a wall or plant screen of a
type and size approved by the Developer, the Association or the
Architectural Control Committee, so as to preclude the same from
causing an unsightly view from any street within the subdivision,
or from any other residence within the subdivision. All mail and
newspaper boxes shall be uniform in design. Design for mail and
newspaper boxes shall be furnished by Developer, the Association,
or the Architectural Control Committee. No fences shall at any
time be placed or permitted to remain on any lot without approval
of the Developer, Association or Architectural Control Committee.
Section B. Off Street Parking. Off street parking for not
less than four (4) passenger automobiles must be provided on each
Lot prior to the occupancy of any dwelling constructed on said Lot
which parking areas and the driveways thereto shall be constructed
,of concrete, brick, asphalt, or turf stone, or any other material
approved by Developer, the Association or Architectural Control
Committee.
Section 9. Driveways. Driveways are to be constructed in
accordance with North Carolina Department of Transportation
standards.

approval, no wells may be constructed or used on any Lot, except
for the purpose of irrigating exterior plantings. A well may be
used to provide water for household or other uses, provided such
use is consented to in advance in writing by the public utility
entitled to provide water service to the Lot, and such use does not
violate any other provisions of this Declaration.
Section 11. Sodding and Irrigation of Front Lawns. All front
lawns on Lots on which a residence exists shall be sodded and
adequately watered by an underground -pipe sprinkler irrigation
system.

Association.

Architectural Control Committee or the Association, the Association
or its designee may enter upon the Lot and remove such weeds,
underbrush refuse piles, unsightly growth or objects, or cause such
lawn to be sodded and irrigated, at the expense of the Owner. Such
entrance shall not be deemed a trespass, and in the event of such
removal or correction a lien shall arise and be created in favor of
the Association for the full amount of the cost thereof, including
collection costs, and such amounts shall be due and payable within
thirty (30) days after the Owner is billed therefor. Such lien
shall be enforceable by court proceedings as provided by law for
enforcement of liens.

character, trailer, basement, tent, shack, garage, barn or other
outbuilding shall be used on any Lot any time as a residence either

agents.
Section 11. Subdividing. No Lot shall be subdivided, or its
boundary lines changed except with the prior written consent of the
Association. However, the Developer hereby expressly reserves unto
itself, its successors and assigns, the right to re -plat any two
(2) or more Lots shown on the map of the Subdivision in order to
create one or more modified Lots; to recombine one or more Lots to
create a larger Lot; to eliminate Lots from this Declaration, or
