ATTACHMENT VII – TABERNA MAIL BOX POLICY

Taberna has custom designed, and built, mail/paper boxes and post that are to be used exclusively in our community. This will be the only approved mail/paper receptacle in Taberna and must be purchased through the Taberna Homeowners Association. The assembly consists of a cast iron post with pineapple top cap, mailbox, paper box, and two sets of numbers.

Builder’s can either make payment when the assembly is picked up for installation, or the cost can simply be deducted from the $1,000 Compliance Deposit.

Installation: The post should be embedded 12”-14” below grade, approximately 30” behind the curb near the driveway or other approved location. The cavity around the post should be filled with approximately 20 pounds of dry Sacrete mix and tamped firm. Numbers should be affixed to the paper box 6½” from the left and 1½” from the base of the box.

Pursuant to Section 7A-38.3F of the North Carolina General Statutes, all members are hereby informed that you have a right to initiate mediation pursuant to the terms of the statute to try to resolve a dispute with the Association. Both the homeowner and the Association must agree to mediate the dispute, and each side is responsible for splitting the cost of the mediation, including payment of a professional mediator. The mediation process is an opportunity to reach an agreement to resolve a dispute – neither side gives up their right to go to court to have a judge resolve the dispute if the parties are not able to reach an agreement through mediation. The specific process to initiate voluntary mediation is outlined in Section 7A-38.3F of the North Carolina General Statutes.
