and further, each lot owner, by acceptance of said Deed agrees
to be bound by the rules, regulations and maintenance obligations
enacted by said association, and all lots shall be subject
to the rules, regulations and maintenance obligations set
forth in the By-Laws of said association. All lot owners,
upon acceptance of a Deed of any lot, agree that each lot
shall be subject to an initial water service charge of TWELVE
DOLLARS ($12.00) per month per lot plus tap-on and connections
charges. If the water system is served by the City of Hendersonville
Water Department, its successor or assign, the above referenced
water service charge shall be inapplicable when all water
charges shall be determined by and payable to the City of
Hendersonville Water Department, its successor or assign.
A monthly maintenance fee shall also be established by said

The fee shall be the quotient of an equation where the numerator
is the total charge for the above referenced maintenance
chargeable to Cinnamon Woods residents, and the denominator
is the number of property owners in Cinnamon Woods.
It is recognized that the use of that certain road named
Marley Drive , which runs through "Butt Mountain Estates" is
necessary to reach Cinnamon Woods. Therefore, the general

the pavement , drainage, landscaping, sight
screen and entrance at Roper Road , is a responsibility of
the residents of Cinnamon Woods as well as the residents
of "Butt Mountain Estates". Therefore, the expenses
for the said maintenance shall be divided
as in the immediately preceding subparagraph, except that
the denominator is sum of the number of
lots in Cinnamon Woods and the number of property owners
in Butt Mountain Estates.
Each lot owner also agrees by acceptance of such deed that
upon non-payment of said charges THE CINNAMON WOODS HOMEOWNERS
ASSOCIATION shall have the right to file a lien against said
lot and to enforce payment of said charges in the same manner
as provided in the North Carolina General Statutes .
III

may engage in any activity which would be offensive, disturbing
or abusive to the other residents of the development; and
further, the failure to act in accordance with the following
requirements shall be considered as being per se violations
of this paragraph:

unit in place on site on a lot shall mow all grass land on

assessment.
