NC Homeowners Association Question?

I live in a very small (45 private lots) subdivision with no dedicated common areas or amenities (developed in 1986). Covenants were recorded but only cover architectural designs/astethics of the neighborhood. There is a lighted sign at the entrance and various flowerbeds on some of the corner lots. We now have a few part-time residents who feel the need to create a Homeowners Association and assess us for among other things mowing/weed-eating, tree-removal and flowers! We have no common area! We don't mind contributing some money for the sign and flowers, but resent having to pay for mowing other folks grass-let alone the legal costs they are asking for to start up the HOA. The original covenants never mentioned the formation of a HOA (no need for one) so how can they create one now (20 years later?) Would all lot owners have to agree?

1. I would fight it like the plague. HOA are horrible.
