The Homeowner’s Association does not have the authority to enforce them. They can only be enforced by the original owner of the property or developer who instituted them or by any homeowner who lives in the area where they apply. All of the sets state that if a homeowner is taken to court and found in violation of the Covenants and Restrictions they will be responsible for all court costs.
In an effort to deter and apprehend the person(s) involved in any act of vandalism in Providence Plantation and to especially prevent additional acts of vandalism during the holiday season, the Providence Plantation Home Owners Association Board has voted to offer a reward of $500.00 to anyone who provides information that leads to the arrest and conviction of those responsible. Please discuss this with all of your family members. If you have any information regarding these incidents or obtain information about future incidents, please contact me at 849-9234 or Police Officer J.D. Russell at 544-4835 or 544-4836. Your identity will remain confidential.
If you would like to report a traffic violation directly to the CMPD you can do so at the

The reporter must leave the North Carolina registration plate number (out of state registrations not accepted), description of the vehicle and driver if known, date, time, and location of the violation, and a detailed description of the violation. Although the caller's identification will not be disclosed, the caller must leave his/her name and telephone number for verification purposes. This call generates a letter to the registered owner of the vehicle, indicating the concern and possible consequences of the driving behavior.

If citizens are interested in having speed humps installed on their street, the following process applies:
Citizen Request - Citizens should contact CDOT to request speed humps.
Evaluation - CDOT evaluates the street to determine if speed humps will address the citizens' traffic concerns and if the street meets the required criteria for speed hump installation.
Criteria:
- A street must be classified as a two-lane, local residential street.
- A street's width must be less than or equal to 40 feet.
- Average Annual Daily Traffic (AADT) volumes should be greater than 1,000.
- The speed of 15% of the vehicles should be equal to or greater than five (5) miles over the posted speed limit.
- Grade is less than or equal to 8%.
- Horizontal radius of street is less than or equal to 300.
- Street's current speed limit should be posted as 25 mph if it is a local street, or 30 mph if it is a neighborhood collector.
- Street should not be a primary emergency medical services route -- CDOT will contact EMS departments in the area of the request to determine if the humps will interfere with a majority of their emergency response calls.
Resident Petition - If a street qualifies for speed humps, the following will be required from the residents:
- A 60% petition of all property owners on the street, including adjoining cul-de-sacs off the street.
- A letter of endorsement from the neighborhood association is required, if one is listed on the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Planning Commission "List of Neighborhood Contacts".
Prioritization for Installation - After the request is submitted to CDOT, the street will be evaluated and rated for priority. Petitions are mailed to citizens of the highest ranking 35-40 streets in January each year. Installation is accomplished by annual contract in late Spring.
Complete and return the Individual Street Light Request Form to Charlotte Department of Transportation Public Service Division.
