ANIMALS
Our Declaration of Restrictive Covenants specifies that no animals shall be kept or maintained except the usual household pets, which shall be kept on a leash or controlled outside the owner’s property.
- Nuisance is defined as habitual barking or howling. It is also defined as destroying property and running at large.
- Any animal that has bitten or threatened to attack a human or another animal is deemed to be a danger.
Owners must confine their pets to their property or control them on a lease when in common areas so as not to cause a nuisance or danger.
- The owner of a pet that is a nuisance will be informed, in writing, when a complaint is made and Blue Ridge Public Safety will be notified.
- The owner of a pet that is deemed to be a danger will be reported immediately to Blue Ridge Public Safety and Jackson or Transylvania County Animal Control. Owners will be informed immediately, in writing, when a complaint is made.
Owners are responsible for picking up their animal’s waste in all areas of the neighborhood. Waste bags are available near the common areas, if needed
RECREATIONAL VEHICLES
No recreational vehicles, motor homes, or camping trailers may be parked overnight on Common Areas including but not limited to parking areas, streets, or vacant lots.
TRASH PICK UP
Residents should not leave their household trash curbside, which is a Common Area. All trash companies that service Whisper Lake will pick up trash from their customers’ garages, front doors, or porches. Residents should inform their company of the pick-up location. Eliminating curbside trash will add to our appearance of cleanliness and reduce the number of animal scavengers.
FIRES AND COOKOUTS
As a safety precaution against wild fires; leaf burning, campfires and cookouts are not allowed on Whisper Lake Common Areas.
FIREWORKS
North Carolina has a very strict fireworks law. The North Carolina zero tolerance law bans the possession, sale, and use of any pyrotechnic intended to detonate or explode, spin, or propel itself into the air. By definition, this ban includes fire crackers, ground spinners, Roman candles, bottle rockets, and mortars. Essentially, any firework that leaves the ground is not legal in this state and therefore not allowed on Common Areas in Whisper Lake.
