Bylaws Amendment

February 2, 2005

The bylaws amendment obtained the required number of signatures and was submitted to the Wake County Registrars office the beginning of January.  The new bylaws will be distributed to homeowners once the paperwork is completed.


July 1, 2004

The Board is slowly accumulating signatures to approve the commercial vehicle amendment.  We have obtained about 75 signatures and hope to complete this process by the end of June.  If you not been contacted and would like to sign the amendment please contact Chris Decker at 363-2777 or deckers@nc.rr.com

 

Update - May 15: Over 50 signatures have been collected.  Expect to collect the remaining signatures by the end of May.

Over a year ago, the neighborhood approved a change to the amendments regarding limiting commercial vehicles.  This is common language in almost every neighborhood covenants, but is a loophole in the current Ashley Woods covenants.  It is part of our architectural guidelines, but that is not an official legal document.  Below is a summary of the change in the wording.  It basically prohibits commercial vehicles from being in a visible location. The amendment also grandfathers current residents.

Unfortunately, after the amendment was approved, there was not a organized effort to obtain the necessary 2/3 signatures to complete the paperwork.  Over the next month the Board will contacting you about the amendment and requesting your signature.  If you are in favor of the amendment and would like to help reduce the Board's work in obtaining this information, or you have questions please contact Chris Decker at 363-2777 or e-mail at deckers@nc.rr.com.  Thank you

The second and third sentences of Article VII, Section 3 of the current Covenants will be replaced with new language.  The language in the New Language section will replace the Current Language section below.

Current Language:

Owners of Lots shall not be permitted to park boats, trailers, campers, and all other similar property on the streets in the development, and such property shall be parked in a garage or area screened from the street and adjoining Lot view and approved by the Architectural Control Committee.  In no case shall recreation vehicle parking be allowed in front of or beside a house unless adequately screened from view of the street and adjoining Lots. 

New Language:

Motorized vehicles shall not be permitted to drive on any portion of any Lot except on a driveway or parking pad and except for the use in the maintenance and repair of the Lot and improvements upon the Lot.  No trailer, trailer house, recreational vehicle, mobile home, boat, motor home, commercial vehicle, or other similar vehicle may be regularly parked on the street in the front of any dwelling or any Lot unless parked inside of an enclosed garage or area screened from the street and adjoining Lot view and approved by owners within view of the Lot.  For the purposes of these Declarations, commercial vehicles include, but are not limited to, vehicles with the following descriptions:

  • Any vehicle other than a standard size car, truck, or motorcycle
  •  Any style of vehicle typically used for commercial purposes
  • Any vehicle carrying tools, equipment, or supplies in open view from the street or from any neighboring lot
  •  Any vehicle displaying a company logo or displaying writing on the exterior of the vehicle unless such logo or writing is approved in writing by the Architectural Committee

As of the date of this amendment, all current owners are grandfathered, meaning the revision does not apply to current owners who own a commercial vehicle.
