Uwharrie Point Community Association
Rules & Regulations
Rules, Regulations, Covenants and Architectural Guidelines for Uwharrie Point are available from the Uwharrie Point Community Association Office (hereinafter “UPCA”). They are so detailed, as most are taken from the recorded and corporate Governing Documents, that many property owners are not aware of those rules and restrictions which apply to them. The purpose of this booklet is to promulgate those rules and regulations most frequently encountered. It also contains some additional regulations approved by the UPCA Board of Directors, and alerts property owners and other persons subject thereto to the use of possible fines for violations. For the exact legal terms and conditions that may apply you should refer directly to the Governing Documents.
The Uwharrie Point Community Association Rules and Regulations are subject and subordinate to the underlying Governing Documents and to all applicable federal, state, county and city statutes, ordinances, rules and regulations having jurisdiction over the Uwharrie Point Development. In the event of any conflict between the Rules and Regulations, the Governing Documents and such laws, the Governing Documents and/or such laws shall be controlling.

Note: Replacement nameplates, number plates, posts, and mailboxes must match the existing standards set forth by UPCA and must be obtained through the Community Association Office.
9. Pet Resolution
All pets within Uwharrie Point should remain on the property of the owner at all times. Should a pet be off the property it must be accompanied by the owner and should be either on a leash or under the control of the owner. Pets are not allowed to freely roam onto others property or within the community.
Besides being a nuisance, uncollected dog waste is very unsightly and malodorous. In the event a pet does mistakenly use an inappropriate area such as streets, sidewalks, right-of-ways, golf course, or anyone else’s property, the owner should clean up after it.
Furthermore, pet owners should make every effort to ensure that their pet does not bark continuously or make loud noises that might be a nuisance to neighbors.
10. Property Owner Signs
The Uwharrie Point Community Association will be responsible for maintaining property owner identification signs on unimproved lots within the community effective June 30, 2005.
Sign inspections will be conducted on an on-going basis and maintenance such as cleaning or painting will be performed as needed.
The initial purchase of a new property owner sign or the replacement thereof will be the responsibility of the property owner. The owner will need to contact the Community Association Office to order a sign. If an owner or contractor damages a sign, the owner/contractor will be responsible for the replacement costs.
Note: Replacement property owner signs must match the existing standards set forth by UPCA and must be obtained through the Community Association Office.
11. Open House Sign Policy
“Open House” signs are permitted within Uwharrie Point as long as they comply with the following guidelines, as adopted by the Architectural Review Board.

Quantity and Location of signs: One (1) sign may be placed at the third tee box on the right side of the parkway. One (1) sign may be placed at the neighborhood entrance indicating that you turn left or right into the neighborhood where the open house is being held. One (1) sign may be placed at each intersection where a turn is required. One (1) sign may be placed in front of the open house.

Address numbers will be placed on a 1” x 6” green panel similar in design to the name plate for mailboxes. The house number panel will be attached below the paper box on the mailbox and will have 4” reflective white numbers on each side of the panel.
All residences on the water are required to have 911 addressing visible from the lake. The numbers must be 4” reflective numbers and may be placed on the pier. If there is no pier, if residents choose not to place the numbers on the pier, or if the pier is shared by multiple users, the 911 address will be placed on the 1” x 6” green panel mounted on a white post. 4” reflective white numbers will be used on the green panel.
All residents who choose not to install a mailbox will be required to install the 911 address at the street. A green panel, with 4” reflective white numbers, will hang from the arm of a white post. The 911 address numbers will be required on each side of the panel.
House numbers will not be allowed on a residence unless they are on the approved green panel with the approved 4” numbers. The green panel must be affixed to the residence so that it is visible from the street. If the house is greater than 50’ from the street the resident will be required to post the 911 address at the street by one of the two approved methods listed above.
Uwharrie Point Community Association (UPCA) will be responsible for providing all posts, panels, mailboxes, and numbers. UPCA will also provide for installation once payment is received from the homeowner.
13. Inclement Weather Emergency Procedures
During times of adverse weather conditions the basement of the clubhouse will be utilized as a shelter. Upon issuance of a “warning” by the National Weather Service, the security guard on duty will go to the clubhouse and unlock the basement area so that any person wishing to seek shelter may do so. Because of the risk of power failure during times of severe storms, the main gate and construction gate will be kept open. The security guard on duty will have the option of staying in the guard house or the basement of the clubhouse, based on his/her own assessment of the situation.
14. Lot Recombination Policy
In order for UPCA to recognize the combination of two adjacent lots, for dues purposes, the property owners must follow all Montgomery County policies concerning recombination.
15. Violation Enforcement Policy
A. NOTICE OF VIOLATION
Property owners will be notified by written notice that a violation of the Rights and Restrictions, Covenants, Articles of Incorporation, architectural guidelines, rules or resolutions has occurred. They will have 10 days from the date of the written notice to correct the violation, or communicate to the UPCA Office, an acceptable plan to correct the violation.
Property owners are responsible for the actions of their guests while they are in the community and will be notified of any violations by their guests. For repeated violations by owners’ guests, owners will be scheduled a hearing and fines may be levied as outlined below.
B. HEARING
If the violation is not corrected or the owner has not contacted the UPCA Office with an acceptable plan to correct the violation within 10 days of the date of the first notification, a second written notification sent via certified mail will be issued citing the violation, date of the violation, and the scheduled date of a hearing with the Violation Hearing Committee. The hearing will be held prior to the next regularly scheduled Board meeting. The owner will have an opportunity to set forth all facts to show compliance with the Rights and Restrictions, Covenants, Articles of Incorporation, architectural guidelines, rules or resolutions or a valid reason for an exception. The Violation Hearing Committee will deliberate outside the presence of the owner and render a decision. If the owner fails to attend the scheduled hearing, the fine will become effective immediately. The Committee will render a decision, including the fine if any.
The property owner will be notified of the Committee's decision by certified mail within five (5) business days of the hearing. The notification will include but is not limited to: the violation, Committee’s decision, amount of fine (if any), and date the fine will be imposed (if applicable). The fine will not begin until the hearing has been held and a decision has been rendered. Once the property owner receives the notification with the Committee's decision, the owner has the right to appeal to the full UPCA Board of Directors within five (5) business days from the date of the notification letter for an appeal hearing. The appeal hearing will be scheduled during the next regularly scheduled Board meeting. Once the appeal hearing has been held, the decision of the UPCA Board will be final.
C. FINE
The fine will begin on the 10th day following the date of the hearing. The owner will be notified of the amount of the fine via certified letter date and the fine will accrue at a maximum of $100 per day plus any legal costs incurred. The amount of the fine will be determined by the Board based on the severity of the violation and other factors as determined by the Board.
The fine will continue until the violation has been corrected. The owner has the responsibility for notifying the UPCA Office when a violation has been corrected. Once the UPCA Office has been notified, a compliance inspection will be conducted within 72 hours. If the violation is found to be corrected, the fine will cease effective the date the owner contacted the UPCA Office.
If the violation is corrected, and the Board is in agreement that the violation has been corrected before the fine begins, the property owner will not be liable to pay any fines but will be responsible for any legal costs incurred by the Association.
For violations that are intermittent due to their nature (i.e. speeding, Pet Policy, etc.) and are identified on two (2) separate instances within a 3-year period from the current violation, property owners will be subject to a minimum of a $25 fine per occurrence beginning with the second occurrence. Within a 3-yr period a progressive fine will be imposed at intervals of $25 per occurrence up to $100 per occurrence for each subsequent violation (i.e. $75, $100).
D. FURTHER ACTION
If the violation is not corrected and the fine has not been paid within 30 days from the commencement date of the fine, the Board may cause a lien to be placed on the property in the amount of the fine plus any legal and administrative costs incurred. If the violation is corrected after the fine begins, the property owner will be responsible for paying the amount of the fines up to the point that the violation is corrected, if the Board is in agreement that the violation has been corrected. If the fine is not paid within 7 days, after the correction of the violation, the fine will resume from the day it was originally imposed and will continue until all fines are paid in full, including all legal costs incurred by the Association.
E. RESPONSIBILITY
It is the property owner’s responsibility to notify the UPCA Office when a violation has been corrected.
F. ONSC MEMBERS AND GUESTS (non-UPCA members)
ONSC members, guests, vendors, etc. who are observed in violation of community policies will be sent a written notice of the violation and ONSC will receive a copy. ONSC members/guests who are cited a second time for the same violation within a 3-year period, will be issued a $50 fine with an option to schedule a Violation Hearing. In the event a fine is not paid within 30 days of issuance, the ONSC member/guest will be denied access within the community until the fine is paid.

If the required maintenance is not performed within that time frame, UPCA may take action as provided for in the Declaration of Rights, Restrictions, Affirmative Obligations and Conditions Applicable To All Property In Uwharrie Point. The community association will obtain quotes for the work to be performed. The property owner will be notified by certified letter that the work will be contracted on their behalf 10 days following the date of the letter. The community association will contract for the lowest received quote. The work will be billed to the property owner along with an administrative fee for arranging and oversight of these services. The administrative fee will consist of 15% of the cost of cleanup or $100 whichever is lower. Failure to reimburse UPCA could result in late fee charges or a lien on the property.
