FAQ's

The amenities at Yachtsman’s Point are designed for people who enjoy the beauty of nature, a healthy lifestyle, and a strong sense of community.  We offer four pickleball courts, a tennis court, swimming pool and bathhouse, a large gazebo with grill for entertaining, a smaller lakeside gazebo, a boardwalk and walking trail, secure boat storage, and four beautiful ponds and fountains.  While not an amenity of the YPHOA, there is also a privately-owned marina located within Yachtsman's Point where you can rent a boat slip or launch your boat.

YPHOA facilities and common areas are amenities for the aesthetics of the community and the exclusive use by lot owners, their families and guests.  

Don’t hesitate to question an unknown party to see if they are lot owners.  If they are not and they are using our facilities, the Sheriff can be called for trespassers.  It is up to community members to help protect our amenities

The YPHOA has developed the Architectural and General Property Rules and Requirements that specify everything you need to know about building or making improvements to a home in Yachtsman’s Point. They can be accessed in the Documents section of the website.

To assure community consistency and provide support to residents building new homes or making improvements, the YPHOA has an Architectural Review Committee that reviews all building in the neighborhood.  The ARC, comprised of residents of Yachtsman’s Point, is designed to review, approve, reject or suggest changes to construction/improvement plans.  This process helps to protect property owners’ investments and maintain the natural beauty of the neighborhood.  The ARC follows specific Architectural Review Rules and Requirements when reviewing plans.

Members of the ARC can be reached via email at yphoa.arc@gmail.com.    Written correspondence and documents should be mailed to:

Yachtsman’s Point ARC

831 Scout Road

Lexington, NC  27292

Submitting the ARC forms helps to ensure that new construction and home improvements in the neighborhood conform to the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (DCCRs) and Architectural Rules and Requirements, two of the YPHOA governing documents. This process provides you with assurance that the YPHOA will not ask you to make any changes to your property after you have already completed the work. 

Each single-family dwelling must have an enclosed, heated living area (exclusive of open porches, garages, and other unheated spaces) of not less than two thousand four hundred (2,400) square feet for waterfront lots and two thousand (2,000) square feet for all other lots. The square footages are measured above grade and do not include any finished or unfinished basement areas or other unfinished above grade spaces. 

Any permanent improvement to the exterior of your home must be approved by the ARC before work is begun. This is to assure that you will not be asked to go back and make any changes in order to comply with the DCC&Rs or Architectural Rules.   Examples of improvements that must go through this process include outbuildings, extensions/additions, gazebos, changes to your driveway, fences, patios, house painting, swimming pools, etc. For many improvements, you may also need to obtain a permit from the county.   When in doubt, contact ARC first to see if approval is needed for your home improvement project.

Any planned exterior painting regardless of the dollar cost of labor and materials must be submitted to the ARC for review and evaluation before any new paint is applied to the house.  The ARC submittal must include a sample of the proposed colors. 

If an exterior project is planned for your home, you will need to submit the Architectural Request Form #3 in advance of any work being done. Depending on the complexity of the project, ARC approval could take up to 45 days so be sure to leave adequate time.  The form can be found in the Documents section of the website within the Architectural Rules and Requirements.

New home construction requires the submission of landscape plans to the ARC.  If you currently live in your house and are planning a major landscape redesign that will involve heavy equipment, you should contact ARC first.  You do not need ARC approval, however, to plant a few additional shrubs, flowers, or trees.

All plans for play structures (defined as swing sets, jungle gyms, and similar outdoor apparatus) must be submitted to the ARC for review according to the following guidelines: they must be of natural wood and color, must not exceed a maximum of 12 feet, and must be located to minimize visibility from the street. 

No permanent above-ground pool shall be allowed or approved by the ARC on any lot.  Temporary, inflatable pools are permitted.  Permanent swimming pools require ARC approval before installation begins.

No trailer, truck, van, mobile home, tent, camper, barn, garage, or other outbuilding or temporary structure parked or erected on lots in Yachtsman’s Point may be used as a residence, temporarily or permanently, nor shall any structure of a temporary character be used as a residence.  This does not include pop-up tents being used for children's play.l

Yes, you can put a tent in your backyard for a few days.  Enjoy the fresh air!  Obviously, noise control would apply as it does under all circumstances.

Failure to submit the ARC forms and receive approval prior to making improvements to your property or landscaping may result in a fine.

Late fees are assessed beginning March 1st in the amount of $20.00/month until paid in full.

Assessments are used to pay:

North Carolina has specific open burning rules.  The rule prohibits much outdoor burning and sets conditions for allowable fires.  Under the rule, it is always illegal to burn trash and other non-vegetative materials.  Construction debris must be removed and may not be burned on the property.  Leave, branches, and other plant growth can be burned under certain conditions.  Fines for violators can be expensive.  

The YPHOA has four ponds in the common areas:  Scout Road beside the pool, Spinnaker Court, Admirals, and Boardwalk.  These ponds are for the exclusive enjoyment and use of YPHOA members.

Swimming is not allowed in any of the community ponds.  No fishing is permitted at any of the ponds except Spinnaker Pond (see special restrictions in next question).  Lot owners are prohibited from drawing water from any pond for any purpose including, but not limited to, irrigation.

Fishing is permitted in Spinnaker Pond only by rod and reel, pole or hook and line by members in good standing of the Association and their families and guests (who must be accompanied by a member) during daylight hours only.  No seining or trapping of fish is permitted.  

The only permitted boats on Spinnaker Pond are sail boards, sail boats, canoes, row boats, paddle boats, or boats powered by electric motors all of which shall be less than 14 feet.  No gasoline or liquid powered engines shall be used in any way on the pond.

No piers are permitted on Spinnaker Pond. (DCCRs, Article VI, Section 2)

The current DCCRs state that no swimming shall be permitted within the ponds. The YPHOA applies this restriction to both humans and animals for safety reasons.  Each pond has electrical wiring and ropes that keep the fountains in place, thereby creating a potential hazard for both human and animal swimmers.  

 

There are no restrictions for dogs swimming in High Rock Lake; however, we encourage you to practice caution.  Make sure that your dog is a strong swimmer and accustomed to water.  The lake can be full of dangers – blue-green algae and fishing equipment are only two of them.  Bring fresh water for your dog to drink and rinse its fur and ears after swimming.

Yes, you can.  There is no charge for reserving the gazebos, but you are expected to leave the gazebo area clean when you are done.  To reserve either the poolside gazebo or the smaller lakeside gazebo, simply complete the Gazebo Request Form available on the Requests section of this website.

The poolside gazebo has three ceiling fans, electrical outlets, and black wrought iron tables and seating.  A grilling area is also available next to the gazebo. The lakeside gazebo does not currently have any electric or furniture – just a beautiful view of the lake.

No outside clotheslines are permitted.

Home-based business is allowed following the Davidson County zoning laws:                                                       

When on a road, bicyclists must ride on the right side of the road, close to the road edge and in single file. Walkers and joggers must remain on the left side of the road, facing traffic. Exceptions to these rules can be made to avoid an unsafe condition. It should be noted that Yachtsman’s Point has a lovely, wooded walkway connecting Starboard Reach and Boardwalk that makes a wonderful place for walking and jogging.

Noise should be kept to a minimum throughout the neighborhood.  Owners and occupants shall exercise reasonable care to avoid making or permitting to be made loud, disturbing, or objectionable noises such as dogs barking, playing or permitting to be used amplifiers and any other musical instruments, radios, electronic musical devices, televisions, and any other instrument or device in such manners as may unreasonably disturb the community.

 

Tool use, such as chain saws, diesel engines, etc. during late night hours, after dusk, or before 7:00 am on weekdays and 9:00 am on weekends is prohibited.

Visible antennas and towers are not allowed.  Satellite dishes must be concealed from view from all lots and open spaces. The design of such enclosures must be approved prior to erection by the ARC. (DCCR's, Article VI, q)

Yes, they are.  No smoking is permitted in any of Yachtsman’s Point’s common areas including the pool, walking trail/boardwalk, gazebos, courts, ponds, and surrounding common areas.  Smoking near and around the community amenities and on common areas will be considered a violation, and fines will be assessed.   The first line of enforcement is self-policing.

Lot owners must receive ARC approval prior to installing or using a temporary storage unit.  Use of the storage unit is limited to the period of time a valid construction permit exists, or 30 days without a valid construction permit in accordance with Davidson County provisions.

If your home is more than 75 feet from the roadway, Davidson County Ordinance for Address Display requires that the house numbers be at least 3 “ and be displayed at the end of the driveway either as a decorative sign or on a mailbox.  If your home is less than 75 feet from the road and you opt not to have a mailbox or do not provide a decorative sign at the road, house numbers on the house must be at least 4” and easily seen from the road.  Please comply with these requirements as it is a major safety issue.

Properties with homes are required to keep the grass at 6” or below.  Undeveloped open lots must comply with the field “open lot” mowing schedule set each year by the Board.  The mowing reminder is sent to lot owners with undeveloped “open lots.”  

The owner of properties or lots not in compliance will receive a written notice.  After 30 days written notice, the Association can cause the work to be performed on the lot to bring it into compliance.  The Association shall then have the right to bill the property owner for the actual cost of mowing the grass. (DCCR, Article 2, Section 5 c)

 

The YPHOA provides mowing services for the 20-foot right-of-way along the street and all common areas.

YPHOA has 87 streetlights now identified with numbered tags.  If a streetlamp is burnt out or lighting sporadically, report its malfunction to Dave Hebert with the lamppost number.

 

If a light is not numbered and is not working, just put a visible marking on the post (e.g., a wide string or rope) and email Dave Hebert with an approximate address.  AMG will call in a work order repair request.

Contact Dave Hebert, AMG community manager, at dhebert@amgworld.com or 336-273-8600.

The Yachtsman’s Point Homeowners’ Association (YPHOA) is required by the community’s covenants to adequately maintain all infrastructure and common areas of the community. Among these assets are: roadways, ponds, fountains, undeveloped common areas, irrigation system, the three entrances, landscaping, street lighting, gazebos, walkway, pool and bathhouse, and tennis/pickleball courts.

The HOA landscape contractor takes care of routine reseeding and mowing of the 20-foot roadway grass.  If, however, you are having work done on your property that involves the movement of heavy equipment or other actions that damage the grassy area, the property owner is responsible for reseeding.

One of the best aspects of Yachtsman’s Point living is how easy it is to meet like-minded people and make new friends.  Whether it is serving on the YPHOA Board or one of the many committees or simply participating in one of the monthly social activities, it is easy to find something to do and get to know neighbors with similar interests.  Wine Downs on Friday evening at the Gazebo, neighborhood holiday get-togethers, ice cream socials, low-country boils, community yard sales, book clubs, golf outings, and pickleball games are just a few of the ways in which you can get involved at Yachtsman’s Point.  The Social Committee is always creating new ideas to get residents and their families together for a lot of fun.  Be sure to read the monthly newsletter to keep up-to-date with what is going on in the neighborhood.  Visit the website often to stay abreast of upcoming events and activities. Monitor the message board to see what folks are asking and talking about!

A Homeowner's Association is a non-profit corporation registered with the State and managed by a duly elected Board of Directors. Its purpose is to maintain all common areas and to govern the community in accordance with the provision of the legal documents: Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, & Restrictions (DCCRs), Bylaws, Articles of Incorporation, and Community Rules. The governing legal documents for the Yachtsman’s Point Homeowners Association may be viewed online within the Governing Documents section of this website. The corporation is financially supported by all members of the Homeowners Association. Membership is both automatic and mandatory.

 

Yes. The deed for each property in Yachtsman’s Point ties the lot to the HOA Master Declaration. When you sign the deed of ownership for your property, you become a member of the Yachtsman’s Point HOA. This inclusion of YPHOA membership into the deed was planned by the developer so that all homes would be part of the YPHOA.

 

All Property Owners Associations derive the basic legal authority for their existence, activities, and actions from state statutes (laws) and certain legal documents:

o   Articles of Incorporation

o   Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (DCC&Rs)

o   By-Laws

o   Rules

You can find copies of each of the YPHOA Governing Documents on the Documents page. 

 

The Articles of Incorporation formally:

o   Bring the Corporation (HOA) into existence

o   Define the basic purpose and powers of the Corporation

o   Indicate there will be a Board of Directors and may identify the initial Board

You can find a copy of the YPHOA Articles of Incorporation within the Governing Documents section of this website.

 

The By-Laws are the guidelines for the operation of a homeowners’ association. They establish the structure of day-to-day governance of the HOA. This includes things like definitions, membership and property rights, meeting of members, executive board selection and term of office, powers and duties of the executive board, officers and their duties, committees, and assessments.

 

The underlying document of a property owners association, apart from state law, is the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (DCC&Rs). The Declaration is the constitutional law of the association. The Declaration defines the limits and inclusions of ownership for the owners and the association. As a legal entity the association is better prepared to pursue certain business needs, such as entering contracts, raising funds, filing liens, and collecting fees in a foreclosure.

Yachtsman’s Point DCC&Rs cover the rights and obligations of the homeowners’ association to its members and vice versa. The DCC&Rs cover legal issues, such as:

o   Rights and Duties of the Association and Property Owners Assessment

o   Membership, Voting Rights, Officers and Meetings

o   Architectural Control

o   General Use Restrictions

 

A sixty-seven percent (67%) vote by the membership is required to  modify the DCC&Rs.

The YPHOA DCCRs were recorded by the Davidson County recorder's office and are included in the title to your property. Failure to abide by the DCCRs may result in a fine to a homeowner by the Association.  You can find copies of the YPHOA DCC&R's within the Documents section of this website.

 

 

The YPHOA has two sets of rules and requirements:  the Architectural and General Property Rules and the Recreational Facility Rules and Requirements. These rules address some items that are not covered in the Bylaws or DCC&Rs. These are often the procedures or practices that might need revising over time due to changes in the community.. They include such items as Architectural Review Rules, Pool Rules, Court Rules, Property Rules and Boat Storage Rules.

The rules and requirements can be changed by an HOA board vote with review by the members of the community. Traditionally, the Board will adopt a rule then send a notice to the community members who will have 30 days to review it. After 30 days, the Board will review the comments and concerns of members, considering the members’ feedback in the final decision. You can find copies of the YPHOA Rules and Requirements within the Documents section of this website.

 

The Annual YPHOA Homeowners’ meeting is usually held early in November. You will receive a formal notice via mail as required by our By-Laws, as well as e-mail notification as it draws near.  In addition, the Board conducts additional update meetings during the year, usually one in the spring and one in the summer.

 

The Board of Directors meets monthly.  The committees meet on varied schedules.

 

There are currently nine committees from which to choose.

o   Architectural Review Committee

o   Finance Committee

o   Recreational Facilities Committee

o   Community Enhancement Committee

o   Community Safety and Traffic Calming Committee

o   Social Committee

o   Infrastructure and Roads Committee

o   Nominating Committee

o   Website and Communications Committee

Additional information on the committees can be found within the HOA section of this website.

 

The YPHOA has hired AMG to assist in providing certain administrative, data processing, bookkeeping, and fiscal services.  AMG handles the collection and oversight of member assessments and payment of invoices.

 

Neighborhood inspections are conducted periodically throughout the year to ensure that property owners are maintaining the beauty, safety, and cleanliness of Yachtsman’s Point.  AMG staff conduct the inspections based on a checklist prepared by the YPHOA Board. 

 

They are conducted two-three times a year.  Residents are informed in advance of the inspections.

No, the inspectors will only observe what they can see from the street.

 

The inspectors are primarily looking for any unkempt or ill-maintained features related to your lawn/landscape, exterior of your home, and other exterior items such as fences, sheds, driveways, etc. that  are visible from the street.  Property owners are given the list of items that the inspectors use prior to the inspections. If the inspection results in any findings, the property owner will receive a letter outlining the issues and will be given a designated amount of time to correct the problem.  Failure to correct the issue can result in fines.

Yes, a locked, fenced boat storage area is located behind the pool off Scout Road.  The primary purpose is to provide dedicated space for storing boats, boat trailers (not exceeding 30’), watercrafts and recreational vehicles for the exclusive use of its members.  A yearly fee of $60 is assessed to all who are assigned a space.  A boat storage request form is located under the Requests and Reservations section of this website.

 

Boat storage has 64 marked spaced for assignment, a water faucet for washing and an 100V AC power outlet.  Access to boat storage is controlled with a combination lock.  The combination is provided with space assignment and should not be shared with non-YPHOA members.

 

Skipjack Harbor is a privately-owned marina the operates within Yachtsman’s Point at 904 Scout Road. The marina is not owned or operated by the YPHOA.  Yachtsman’s Point residents can launch their watercraft from Skipjack after receiving a gate access card for $25.  You can also rent boat slips, pontoon boats and kayaks there. You can contact Skipjack Harbor at 336-798-5225.

 

Please note that Skipjack Harbor, however, does not allow Yachtsman’s Point residents to leave their boat trailers parked in their lot while you are on the water.  After launching your boat, you may park your trailer and vehicle either at the YP boat storage (if you rent a space there) or at the designated parking area in front of the YP poolside pond.  If parking in front of the pond, you need to obtain a parking hangtag for your vehicle.  To do so, complete the boat trailer parking request form.

 

There is also a free public boat launch area less than ½ mile from Yachtsman’s Point on Wildlife Recreation Access Rd.

 

Call TOW BOAT US at 919-303-1669.

 

A great resource is the High Rock Lake Association at https://hrla.com/.  Another good resource is Cube Hydro Carolinas at http://cubecarolinas.com/high-rock/.

 

The speed limit is 25 MPH.  Since Yachtsman’s Point does not have sidewalks, walkers and joggers use our streets quite frequently so it is extremely important to observe the posted speed limit signs.  It is the homeowner’s responsibility to ensure that contractors, vendors, and guests are made aware of the importance of observing the speed limit when visiting the neighborhood.  Additionally, wildlife including deer, geese and wild turkeys are frequent travelers on our roads so extreme caution should be practiced for our feathered neighbors.

 

Vehicles, machinery, and equipment may not be parked so as to obstruct passage, ingress, or egress of other vehicles or persons on the property. 

 

 

At the current time, the only parking permits that are required are for boat trailers that are being temporarily parked in the designated area in front of the poolside pond after boats are launched from Skipjack Harbor across the street.  No overnight parking of your vehicle and boat trailer is permitted in this area.  To apply for a boat trailer permit, complete the form located under the Requests tab.

 

Yachtsman’s Point residents may drive their golf carts on the streets.  Drivers must observe the speed limit and practice extreme caution.

 

 

No animals except dogs, cats, and other indoor pets may be kept on any lot.  (DCCRs, Article VI, m)

 

No. Residents are not to feed the wildlife or take measures that would attract or encourage further growth in their populations.

 

Each lot owner is responsible for the behavior of their family and guests when using the pool and/or any YPHOA community amenity.  Lot owners are not required to accompany their family or guests to the pool; however, they must be in close proximity in case of health, safety or emergency issues.

o   Pool access cards should not be shared to provide entrance to a pool user who “forgot” or does not have his/her own access card.

o   YPHOA is not responsible and shall not be liable for any damages arising from personal injury sustained by the owner, family or guests.

o   There is no lifeguard on duty.  Family and friends swim at their own risk.

o   No animals or pets are allowed in the pool or on the deck.

o   YPHOA is a smoke-free community on common property.  That means there is no smoking at the pool, gazebo, and other common area amenities.

o   The pool hours of operation are 9:00 AM to 8:00 PM. 

o   Your pool card will not work before or after these hours so plan accordingly.

 

If you bought an existing home, the previous homeowner should have forwarded you the pool card at the closing.  If the card was misplaced, you will be charged a $30 replacement fee.

 

If you are a new resident, you can submit a pool card request form which is located under Requests and Reservations on this website.  There is no charge for the initial card.

 

Yes, we have Wi-Fi at the pool.  Finding the network is sometimes finicky and best acquired near the pool house.  Look to join network YP_GUEST_5.   The password is yp_guest.

 

The Yachtsman’s Point roads are privately owned by the YPHOA.  Neither the county nor state have any responsibility for maintaining these roads.  This is one reason why we take their maintenance so seriously.  All repairs must be made through the YPHOA budget. 

 

No, they do not.  Since our roads are not public, school buses are not allowed to enter the community.  Check with your local school system on the designated pick-up location located near the entrances.

 

The ARC reserves the right to assess a Surety Deposit/Road Bond ($2000) for any new construction, additions, renovations, tree removal, brush hogging, and clearing that has the potential to do damage to the roads.  The ARC will make this assessment based on the type of equipment used and the duration and magnitude of work being performed.  The ARC will conduct an inspection of the roadway, in the company of the owner and the building contractor at the time of the mandatory on-site meeting.  Another inspection will be conducted and noted when the work is completed, and a final construction inspection is requested.  The cost to repair any damage done to the roadway will be deducted from the road bond.  If no repairs are needed, $1500 will be returned to the homeowner.

 

It is important that the property owner makes sure that his/her builder and subcontractors understand the conditions of the road bond.  Sufficient gravel/rock should be placed on the “working” driveway while a new house is under construction to prevent unwanted dirt and mud from being tracked onto the roads.  The ARC reserves the right to request the property owner to have additional rock installed if ongoing tracking becomes an issue.

 

Yes, the YPHOA has specific rules and approval process for the construction of sheds/storage buildings.  Refer to the Architectural and General Property Rules and Requirements for information on this.

 

No billboards or signs of any description shall be displayed upon any lot with the exception of those approved by ARC.

a.      During the time of possessing a valid construction permit, the builder may display a business sign not greater than 24 x 24 inches.  Sub-contractor and vendor signs are not permitted. 

b.      All For Sale signs shall conform in size, shape and color (10” X 15.75” sign, dark green background, white lettering, placed on a white 4’ treated 2” X 4” post).  Lettering is limited to:

h.      No signs are permitted within the road right-of-way. (DCCR, Article VI, f)

 

Lot owners may display political signs not greater than 24 x 24 inches 45 days prior to an election, and signs must be removed within 7 days after the election.

 

No lot/home may be leased, rented, or let unless a written agreement in a form and content acceptable to the Board of Directors is approved and for a term of not less than 12 months.  Any homeowner choosing to rent their home must notify the Board of Directors or management company within 10 days of the name(s) of the tenants, a description of their vehicle(s), and their phone number.  Owners shall provide new occupants with a copy of the YPHOA DCCRs, Bylaws, and Community Rules. (DCCRs, Article VI, Section 1, x) 

 

 We currently have four pickleball courts.  Pickleball is more than just a "converted tennis court" at Yachtsman’s Point. The Yachtsman’s Point pickleball program is dynamic and active with: 

·        Training events for new as well as experienced players. 

·        Open court time for players of all levels. 

·        And opportunities for regular organized play three days/week.

 

The Yachtsman’s Point tennis court is open year-round for resident play.  You do not need to schedule playing time.  Please be respectful of your playing time if there are others waiting to use the court. 

 

Yes, there are.  You can access them within the Governing Documents section of this website under the Amenity Rules tab

Property owners with waterfront lots must comply with the requirements and restrictions of Cube Yadkin, Inc., a division of Cube Hydro Carolinas which monitors High Rock Lake environmental and wildlife activities. http://cubecarolinas.com/shoreline-management/

Waterfront property owners shall:

•     Obtain a copy of Cube Yadkin’s Shoreline Management Plan (SMP).

•     Meet with a Cube Yadkin representative to determine the setback of 100 feet from the normal full pool elevation required for home construction, including decks and patios.

•     Ask the Cube Yadkin representative to measure and stake the official setback line.

•     Request Cube Yadkin’s permission to cut trees more than 6 inches in diameter on property above the 655 foot Cube Yadkin Datum elevation (Full Pond), within the 100’ buffer.

•     Have Cube Yadkin designate what can be done on their property - which is all lakefront property below the 655 foot Yadkin Datum elevation (Full Pond.)

•     Obtain a pier permit which can be applied for only when your house is under roof.

•     Obtain a permit for construction, shoreline stabilization, vegetation removal, dredging, shoreline clean-up, private irrigation systems, and vegetative plantings.

 

Any activity within the buffer or lake bottom must also be submitted in writing and approved by the ARC. The ARC requires copies of all the permits received from Cube Yadkin.  Violations of Cube Yadkin’s Shoreline Management Plan may result in the permanent loss of the property owner’s pier permit.

As a condition of eligibility for private individual piers, shared piers, or use of, or private access to the setback and water, Cube requires satisfaction of the following minimum specifications for a 100-foot forested setback:

1.   All structures (including but not limited to buildings, houses, driveways, roof overhangs, decks, porches, patios, cantilevered decks, stairs, posts, columns, fences, retaining walls, landscaping walls, and gazebos) must be set back at least 100 feet from the reservoir shoreline.

•     20-foot Construction Zone — A 20-foot-wide construction zone will be permitted to intrude into the 100- foot forested setback to accommodate construction. Vegetation may be removed in the construction zone, but that portion of the construction zone intruding into the setback must be revegetated upon completion of the construction.

•   Vegetation Removal — Vegetation removal on the adjoining property owner’s property is allowed within the 100-foot forested setback in accordance with Section III.A.5. No vegetation removal is allowed on the Cube-Managed Buffer without a written permit from Cube.

2.   A septic field or well will be allowed in the 100-foot forested setback to the extent that installation does not require removal of any vegetation other than as permitted in Section III.A.5, below. In addition, the 100-foot forested setback requirement does not apply to a pathway to a pier, an irrigation system, etc., that has been constructed pursuant to a written permit issued by Cube.

3.   A sitting area may be permitted within the 100-foot setback. The sitting area must be at ground level, must not exceed 200 square feet, and must have a pervious surface (e.g., pressure-treated wood, gravel, or uncemented brick, rock, stone, or paving blocks).

4.   Variances will be granted only when a lot is unbuildable.

5.   Vegetation in the 100-foot forested setback must be maintained as it existed prior to development. (Refer to tree guidelines earlier in this document.)

6.   Removal of any vegetation from any portion of the 100-foot forested setback within the Cube-Managed Buffer requires a written permit from Cube. Failure to secure a permit from Cube prior to removing any vegetation from the Cube-Managed Buffer, or removal in any manner other than as permitted by Cube, is subject to enforcement.

7.   In a permit to construct a private individual or shared pier (see the Yadkin Project Specifications for Private Recreation Facilities), Cube may allow movement or removal of identified lap trees where necessary for construction or installation of the facilities. In cases where movement or removal is necessary, Cube will require replacement of the lap trees along the same stretch of shoreline at a 2:1 replacement to removal ratio.

8.   For any lot in a new subdivision subject to the 100-foot forested setback requirement set forth above, the primary sanction for failure to comply with this requirement is a loss of eligibility for: (i) a private (individual or shared) permit within the Project Boundary (i.e., on a reservoir); and (ii) use of, or private access to the Project lands and waters across, the Cube-Managed Buffer.

9.   In no case may management of the 100-foot forested setback be inconsistent with the requirements of North Carolina’s watershed protection rules and county watershed protection ordinances.

Be sure to refer to the Cube Shoreline Stewardship Policy for more specifics.

The following activities always require a written permit from Cube:

•   Construction — construction or modification (reconstruction, repairs, additions, or expansion) of any structures, roads, or access pathways in the reservoirs, along the shoreline within the Project Boundary, or on the Cube-Managed Buffer.

•   Shoreline Stabilization — construction, installation, or modification of riprap, retaining walls, or other forms of shoreline stabilization measures, including shoreline plantings.

•   Shoreline Alteration (Excavation and Fill) — removal, addition, or alteration of any natural features of the Project reservoirs, the shoreline within the Project Boundary, and the Cube-Managed Buffer, including sediment, soil and rock.

•   Vegetation Removal — removal of any vegetation, living or dead, in the reservoirs, along the shoreline within the Project Boundary, or on the Cube-Managed Buffer.

•   Shoreline Clean-up — removal of dead or fallen trees, “lap trees,” or other woody or natural debris that exists in the reservoirs, along the shoreline within the Project Boundary, or on the Cube-Managed Buffer.

•   Private Irrigation Systems — installation of new systems or transfer of existing irrigation systems.

•   Vegetative Plantings — planting of any vegetation, including but not limited to shrubs, hedges, flowering plants, native vegetation, etc., in the reservoirs, along the shoreline within the Project Boundary, or the Cube-Managed Buffer.

Removal of floating debris and shoreline litter such as floating logs, paper, plastic, and other unnatural forms of garbage or debris, and the removal of trees or driftwood that poses an imminent threat to life or property do not require Cube approval as long as the method of removal complies with the other requirements of the Policy.

 

Property owners must obtain a written construction permit from Cube before starting to construct a new pier. An onsite meeting between the adjoining property owner and a Cube representative is mandatory before Cube will issue a construction permit. The property owner’s house must be under roof before a construction permit will be granted. Once constructed, private piers require a private recreation facility permit from Cube. Private recreation facility permits extend from May 1 through April 30 and must be renewed annually.

 

Modifications (reconstruction, additions, expansion, etc.) to existing piers also require a written construction permit from Cube. Repairs to an existing pier that require a building permit from the applicable County also require a written construction permit from Cube. Additional guidance may be obtained from Cube upon request.
