A Note from the HOA Board:

May 5, 2025

IT’S TIME TO GET OUTDOORS! A FEW REMINDERS TO KEEP OUR

COMMUNITY SAFE AND BEAUTIFUL:

1. SOME IMPROVEMENTS TO YOUR PROPERTY REQUIRES HOA REVIEW.

Pursuant to Article V, Section 2, of the Carriage Run Protective Covenants & Restrictions, “no residence, building, structure, antenna, satellite dish antenna, patio roof, patio awning, tool shed, storage shed, fence or other improvement, whether temporary or permanent in nature, shall be

erected…until approved by the Architectural Control Committee.” The

approval process is simple and easy: Email the HOA with information on

the improvement, including address, plans and specs. The chair of the

Architectural Control Committee will contact you, review your plans, and

make a decision promptly.

2. TRASH RECEPTACLES. Please remove trash and recycling receptacles as soon as possible from the street after trash collection.

3. CALL BEFORE YOU DIG! Whether you are planting a tree, installing a fence

or new mailbox post, it’s important to stay safe and avoid damage to underground utility, phone, cable or Internet lines. Dial 811 at least three working days before starting your project. It’s fast, free, and it’s the law.

4. GRASS TRIMMING. Please keep grass trimmed and cut in front and back

yards, whether enclosed or not. Grass higher than 12 inches tall is considered a “public nuisance,” under the Rocky Mount Code of Ordinances. Violators will be given 7 days to cut the grass or the city can cut the grass and send the homeowner a bill for the abatement.
