3/19/24 --->>> the new handbook of Emerald Point HOA

This handbook provides information about practices and policies at Emerald Point Condominiums. Each resident, whether they are the owner or the tenant, should become thoroughly familiar with this handbook as well as the condominium’s legal documents.

The DCCR and Bylaws both are important governing documents for Emerald Point HOA: the DCCR primarily establishes the legal framework for the condominium project, while the Bylaws regulate the internal operations and governance of the HOA itself. These documens were documented with the Mecklenburg County Register of Deeds on October 16, 1985 and is a matter of public record. In above document you find the DCCR from page 1 till page 26, the Bylaws from page 27 till page 44.

Over the years several amendments have been added to our DCCR and Bylaws. Two amendments are very important.

The Insurance Amendment of May 2011 stipulates that EP HOA is only carrying a Bare-Wall insurance policy. The second one explains that each unit is restricted to residential use (only rent longer than 6 months are allowed) and that no unit owner may own more than 2 units at any time and must occupy one of those units as primary residence.

The DCCR and these 2 important amendments can be accessed by clicking on each picture respectively.  The combination of the DCCR, the Bylaws and Amendments and policies and regulations are intended to embody the Covenants and Restrictions associated with home ownership at Emerald Point.

These DCCR, Bylaws, rules and regulations are intended to protect the property values of the community's homeowners as well as their enjoyment of their property and facilities. Rules and regulations are strictly enforced. Bylaws, policies and regulations may be changed by the Board or by vote of the Homeowners Associations as specified in the DCCR and Bylaws and as required.

The following are policies and regulations which go along with the Bylaws. 

Satellite Dish Policy

     1.   Satellite Dishes can not exceed 18” in diameter.

2.   The dish is to be attached to the steel support column on the rear deck.

3.   The top edge of the dish is to be no more than 48” above the surface of the deck.

4.   The dish cable is to be run up the steel column to the wood beams of the above deck (the above overhang for top floor installations).

5.   Run the cable along the beam towards the outside storage closet, drill a hole at the top of the storage closet arid run the cable through the hole into the storage closet.

6.   From inside the storage closet drill a hole through the wall into the unit.

 The above procedures are the only approved method of installing satellite dishes at Emerald Point. The Homeowners Association will remove any satellite dish installation that does not meet the above standards and any cost for such removal will be billed to the homeowner.

3.    For BULK items please call 311 to arrange a special pickup.

4.    If possible, try to recyle.

General:

1.    Water heaters should be replaced every ten years to eliminate leaks. Drain your water heater tank annually and/or check it regularly for leaking. Per new code, a pan under the tank is now required.

2.    If your dryer takes longer than usual to dry you should have your vent inspected for a birds nest or other blockage.

3.    Chimneys should be cleaned when it has 1/2" or more of build-up. Not knowing how long that would take then they should be cleaned yearly.

4.   We also encourage owners to shut the water in their condo off if you are going to be gone for several days or more. Knowing where the water shutoff is located in your condo is very important. If the valve is corroded to the point it will not turn a plumber will need to replace it.
