SUMMARY OF WCA COVENANTS AND MAJOR POLICIES
Below are listed brief summaries of some of the most questioned covenants and policies which the WCA has adopted. Please have the entire family read the list so you will be informed. If you have any questions, please call the WCA office for further information.
1. BIKE PATHS/JOGGING TRAILS - Woodcroft has a network of trails that may be used for biking, walking, or jogging. Trail users should be careful and considerate of others. View our Trail Map.
2. MOPEDS/MOTORCYCLES/DIRT BIKES - NO mopeds, motorcycles or dirt bikes are allowed on WCA trails or common areas.
3. SIGNS - Signs are not permitted on the Parkway, street corners or common areas. A SINGLE SIGN may be located on your property. Signs are to be removed immediately after the function or sale of your home.
4. SIGNS, REAL ESTATE - Only one real estate sign is permitted on each piece of property for sale. It must be displayed on the front center of the property, and never on a tree.
5. PARKING ON STREETS - Residents are encouraged to park their vehicles off the street in their driveways. Never block a neighbor's driveway or mailbox.
6. LEASH LAW - There is a leash law for all domestic animals in Durham County. Domestic animals may not run free except on owner's lot. Enforcement of this law is by Durham County Animal Control: 560-0630.
7. DISPOSAL OF GARBAGE AND TRASH - Household garbage in roll-out carts, recycling materials, and yard waste carts provided by the City will be picked up by the City of Durham Sanitation Dept. at the curb side once a week. Residents arranging for collection of leaves, grass clippings can place the materials in their roll-out carts, or use other permanent containers of 32 gallons or less, or use biodegradable paper bags and may be placed at curb side on the day of the scheduled trash pick-up. After your trash or yard waste has been picked up, return carts to an area not visible from the street as soon as possible. If you have any questions regarding garbage pick-up, ordering yard waste carts, recycling bins etc. you may call the city at 560-1200
8. RESIDENTIAL BURNING - Because of the constant threat of fire, the WCA strongly discourages the burning of leaves in Woodcroft since the City will pick up bagged leaves on the day of your scheduled trash pick-up.
9. DEAD TREE POLICY - The WCA will remove dead trees from WCA property only if trees pose a personal safety hazard or endanger the property of residents. If you believe that such a condition exists, please contact the WCA office. In cases where it is determined that no threat exists, in keeping with the overall Woodcroft environmental policies, nature will be left to take its own course.
10. TREE REMOVAL - No live trees measuring more than six inches in diameter at a point two feet above the ground may be removed without the approval of the Architectural Review Board. Approval for the removal of dead or diseased trees, or trees located within ten ft. of the main dwelling or accessory building is not necessary.
11. FENCES - All fences in Woodcroft must first be approved in writing by the Architectural Review Board. Application forms and procedures for applying may be obtained at the WCA office or here on our website.
12. ADDITIONS, EXTERIOR CHANGES - All additions or modifications to the exterior of any residential property, including major landscaping plans must first be approved in writing by the Architectural Review Board. Application forms and procedures for applying are available at the WCA office or here on our website.
13. MAINTENANCE OF YARDS - Each single family property owner is expected to maintain his own yard in acceptable condition.
14. MAILBOXES - All mailboxes in Woodcroft must meet the standard "Uniform Mailbox Regulations" criteria. Mailboxes can be ordered through the WCA at a cost of $150. Name board changes can also be ordered through the WCA at a cost of $40. Click here for a mailbox order form.
15. TREE HOUSES AND FORTS - Open space and easements are not to be used for forts or tree houses; nor will such structures be approved for construction on private property.
16. BOAT/CAMPER STORAGE - Boats, campers, trailers, R V's, etc., may not be stored on residential property unless totally screened from view. The WCA maintains a locked storage area behind the tennis courts as a convenience for residents. Space, however, is very limited. Rental fees are currently $150/year. Application forms are available at the WCA office.
17. USE OF DWELLING AS OFFICE - All lots in residential areas must be used exclusively for residential purposes. The use of a portion of the dwelling on a lot as an office by the owner or tenant thereof shall be considered a residential use if such use does not create objectionable customer or client traffic to and from the lot. This restriction applies equally to those residents who use their homes from which to sell merchandise.
18. HUNTING - No hunting on Woodcroft property is allowed.
