The Board of Director normally schedules closed sesson meetings every 4-6 weeks. The closed sessions are necessary to deal with HOA business, legal issues, deliquency/collection and sensitive topics such as personal issues. Occasionally, the Board will invite Committee Chairs or other property owners to discuss specific matters.

Yes. Duke must review any plans for improvements within the peripheral strip. Currently, the architectural review committee has coordinated with Duke to review the same plans that are submitted to the Association. Note: permitted improvements within the Duke peripheral strip are greatly limited and you must seek permission from Duke to remove trees in the peripheral strip that exceed three inches in diameter three feet off the ground. Experience has shown that it is much better to seek permission if there are questions.
Except for certain landscaping changes, any improvement to a lot within the Association requires approval by the Association through its architectural review committee. Owners are strongly encouraged to submit an architectural application for any improvements even if it is a question of whether one is required. Architectural applications may be found on this website. Note: the architectural review committee has 15 days to review the application, so please get the application in early to help prevent delay with your desired project.

Duke Energy owns the peripheral strip around the lake. The width of the strip depends on the topography. The Association leases this property from Duke Energy. Each lot owner whose property borders the peripheral strip pays a certain amount per linear foot toward the lease amount owed to Duke Energy. The Association is responsible for paying for the common areas that border the peripheral strip. The current lease expires in April 2023.
The membership is free to inspect and copy all governing documents, minutes of board meetings (except executive sessions), minutes of annual meetings, minutes of special meetings, and financial records, such as the balance sheet, profit and loss, and cash disbursements.
