P

erfectly situated half an hour from Chapel Hill and only a short drive from Jordan Lake, Pittsboro offers the best of both worlds. Here, residents can enjoy the relaxed, laid-back lifestyle of Pittsboro while still being close to everything the Triangle area offers. Chanel Hart D’Aprix with Domicile Realty attended school at UNC Chapel Hill and moved back to the area about 10 years ago with her husband to raise their three boys. They knew it would be the perfect place to raise a healthy, active family with plenty of outdoor activities to keep them busy. They are regulars at the Carolina Tiger Rescue (a nonprofit wildlife sanctuary where you can see tigers, cougars, lions and more!) and love spending time at Haw River and exploring hiking trails through Jordan Lake. In the summer, they love to paddle board. “There is nothing more beautiful than seeing the sun rise over Jordan Lake, hearing the Haw River roar downstream or visiting the massive orchid farm outside of Pittsboro,” says D’Aprix.

With affordable property taxes, an inclusive community and plenty of local charm, D’Aprix says people from all over the world are attracted to the Pittsboro and North Chatham area. Whether you’re looking for a dream home in an established golf course community or an affordable plot of land in nearby Moncure where you can create your own dream home, this area has something for everyone. Tanya Papandrea and her husband moved to the area from New Jersey four years ago for better weather, better quality of life and the affordability of Chatham County. Papandrea, a realtor with DeSell & Co. Realty Group, grew up in Annapolis, Maryland, where she spent a lot of time on the water—part of why she loves living so close to Jordan Lake. She loves walking her two dogs in her neighborhood in Powell Place and spending time in nearby Mary Holmes Park. She says the local market is incredibly hot right now— her last five Pittsboro listings have lasted an average of only two days

on the market. People are attracted to the area for more than the fabulous outdoor living. D’Aprix says the area also has a culture of inclusion, with local artists, musicians and arts’ patrons finding their place in the community. She says Chatham County as a whole has continued to grow and evolve over the years. “The county has taken great strides toward furthering education by approving plans to build new schools and procuring grants to encourage the use of arts and technology for our young residents,” explains D’Aprix. “I see a balance of growth and the protection of natural resources.” From farmers markets to local music festivals, Pittsboro offers something for everyone. And the area seems poised to continue growing in popularity, as more people move here from all over the country. “We could have moved anywhere in the Triangle area, but we chose here,” says D’Aprix. “Our only regret is that we didn’t move here sooner.”

HERE’S A FEW TIPS FROM LOGAN’S GARDEN SHOP (RALEIGH) & GARDEN SUPPLY COMPANY (CARY) FOR NEW HOMEOWNERS THAT ARE CONSIDERING NEW LANDSCAPE OR GARDENING PROJECTS. Check for drainage issues!

Is water pooling around the home’s foundation or anywhere in the yard? Is run-off from neighboring sites causing erosion or other damage to your property? Does water exiting downspouts freely move away from the house?

Are there mature trees on the property?

If so, check them for dead or damaged limbs that may fall on the house or vehicles parked in the driveway.

Are there easements on the property?

Having easements may not allow for a fence to be built or may restrict plant choices in those areas.

Are there lots of large, overgrown shrubs or long lengths of hedges?

This could indicate the level of maintenance needed or be a sign of plants that should be replaced.

Rules of the road for HOAs This article was written by my associate Ben Karb. – Mike Hunter

W

e frequently are asked by our HOA (homeowners’ association) clients to review their rules and regulations. Boards are often granted the authority to adopt rules by the HOA’s governing documents, and even if not, North Carolina statutes authorize boards to enact rules and regulations. Within HOAs there exists a hierarchy of governing documents. At the top is the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (the Declaration), followed by the Bylaws, and at the bottom of the hierarchy are rules and regulations. The Declaration can be likened to the yellow lines along the sides of the road, and rules and regulations must stay within those yellow lines. Stray too far in either direction, and the HOA winds up in a ditch with an unenforceable (and possibly liability-inducing) rule or regulation. In some HOAs, the rules and regulations are referred to as standards, policies or, ubiquitously, as guidelines. This latter term is often a misnomer since rules and regulations are oftentimes more than just a guide, and so long as they stay within the yellow lines, rules and regulations are enforceable. Generally, the board can enact rules and regulations at any time, provided the board meets a modicum of corporate formalities. Rules and regulations serve any number of purposes, such as: regulat-

ing the use of common areas (e.g., pool and clubhouse rules); describing how to submit an architectural modification request; clarifying the meaning of terms (e.g., the meaning of the term “screen,” as in “all recreational vehicles must be screened from view”); and myriad other purposes. The cardinal rule is that rules and regulations must be consistent with the Declaration and the authority granted within it. Certain provisions lend themselves to rules and regulations. For example, a Declaration requiring that owners “regularly mow their lawns” could support a rule informing owners how frequently they must mow to meet this otherwise subjective standard. Certain unclear terms, like “screen,” can become clear by the adoption of a rule. Rules and regulations fill these gaps within the Declaration. One area where many communities struggle is when their rules and regulations go beyond the authority granted in the Declaration. A Declaration prohibiting chain-link fences does not support a rule requiring all fences to be made of wood. A requirement in the Declaration that no commercial vehicles may be parked on the street does not, to the chagrin of many HOAs, give the authority to regulate all parking, even within lots. My personal favorite is the board that wants to provide for the safety of its residents

by enacting a rule to fine or “ticket” owners for speeding. When a Declaration informs us that it is intended to protect the neighborhood, that does not mean that boards can “protect and serve” and issue tickets. An HOA can generally regulate a person’s conduct while on the common areas, but for an HOA to exercise authority over an owner’s use of or conduct upon his or her property, the authority to do so must be set forth in the Declaration. For example, many Declarations contain a “nuisance” clause, prohibiting activities which constitutes an annoyance or nuisance. Sometimes boards will rely upon these nuisance clauses to regulate various types of conduct, such as implementing a rule prohibiting loud activities (such as parties) after 10 p.m. While late-night parties may be an annoyance, unless the Declaration explicitly grants the authority to regulate an owner’s noise, an HOA-proscribed “noise ordinance” exceeds the HOA’s authority. Occasionally, we see HOAs enact

SPECIAL ADVERTISING SECTION . THE NEWS & OBSERVER . SUNDAY, MARCH 24, 2019

rules to “un-enforce” the Declaration, which has its own problems. The converse of my example above is when the Declaration requires all fences to be wood, but the board enacts a rule that other fencing types are permissible. These types of rules are often couched in the “changed tastes” argument: a board or committee will conduct an informal poll where members (or more typically, members of the architectural review committee) opine that wooden fences are no longer as desirable as they once were, and therefore, we can improve property values if we allow other types of fences. If tastes have changed so much, then the proper solution is to amend the Declaration, not to enact a rule to circumvent it. When confined to the yellow lines of the Declaration roadway, rules and regulations are a powerful and enforceable means to assist and steer HOAs and their members. Boards should regularly review their rules and regulations so that when the rubber hits the road, they avoid ending up in a ditch.

purchased my first Architectural Digest magazine in high school. I would read and reread every issue, absorbing even the smallest details. My idols were Barbara Barry, Billy Baldwin, Victoria Hagan and Marmol Radziner. I am still a subscriber and have an extensive library of my favorite issues. I’ve spent my life discovering unique objects, unearthing trends and up-and-coming artists and designers.

It is one of the only global design trade shows that offers designers and consumers alike access to a world where they can source, see and shop the latest in the design world. It casts the vision that sparks designers’ creativity, resulting in trends you will later be incorporating into your home.

Shower pains Tips for getting stubborn stains out of fiberglass showers by Allen Norwood

I

f an email can sound desperate, this one did. A reader said she needed help cleaning hair dye off a fiberglass shower pan: “I have tried all the home remedies: baking soda, vinegar, Mr. Clean, Clorox, CLR...Nothing has helped the hair dye stains on my shower pan. The house is only four years old.” Showers made of fiberglass and acrylic are widely used in today’s homes, so the reader from Chapel Hill surely isn’t the only one struggling to clean such surfaces. (Although I’ve never been asked about hair dye. That’s a first.) So, how do you clean them? First, fiberglass and acrylic aren’t the same, although some homeowners blur the distinction. Fiberglass has a protective gel coat, while the color and pattern of acrylic goes all the way through the material. Fiberglass is more porous and scratches more easily, so it’s tougher to keep clean. Acrylic is typically heavier

14R

and more expensive. Second, the pros at Molly Maid use an approach they say works on most stains. Greg Perkins, a Molly Maid franchise owner, chuckled when I shared the reader’s plight. Just a guess, but it was as if he’d fielded questions about cleaning seamless showers a time or two. Use scratch-free Comet with bleach, he said, and one of those scratch-free pads or a stiff brush. “Use a brush with the hardest bristles that won’t scratch. You can use a pretty stiff brush on it.” Make a paste with the Comet and a bit of water. Spread it on and scrub. You might have to do that more than once. “If (the stain) is going to come out, that will do it,” he said. It’s hair dye, I explained. Even that will probably come out with enough elbow grease, he said. Don’t use a metal brush, of course. And Perkins said you shouldn’t grab one

of those tough green scrubbing pads that you’d use on your dirtiest pots and pans. “That will scratch the fiberglass. You don’t want anything that’s going to scratch it.” Molly Maid (mollymaid.com) is an international company with 400 franchises, including several in both Charlotte and the Triangle. You can call the company’s toll-free number to find a franchise near you. Perkins owns two offices in Charlotte. Scrubbing Bubbles works for most regular cleaning of seamless shower surfaces, Perkins said, but doesn’t have bleach. It’s always a good idea to try to contact the manufacturer if you have questions about repairs and maintenance of home components. You sure don’t want to damage your home, or take chances with harsh chemicals that can harm you or your family.

SPECIAL ADVERTISING SECTION . THE NEWS & OBSERVER . SUNDAY, MARCH 24, 2019

I called Jacuzzi, one of the most widely recognized makers of bathroom components. A spokesman said local dealers can connect buyers with skilled technicians if there are serious problems. Indeed, at our house we needed a technician when a shower pan arrived with a small defect. I called Ferguson, which sells bath products from Jacuzzi, Kohler and other top manufacturers. A stain on a fiberglass shower pan is about to drive a reader to distraction, I explained. “Oh, I get it,” said Charlotte showroom consultant Amanda Repke. “I have one at my house...and I’m about ready to rip it out.” I need to call Repke back and share Perkins’ phone number.
