Alta Mesa Townhomes Association

What Alta Mesa Townhomes Association's governing documents say

Alta Mesa Townhomes Association is a townhome (attached) community in Mesa, Arizona. This document is a supplemental guideline (not the full CC&Rs) focused on landscape maintenance, property changes, and architectural control. It applies to all unit owners and residents, and owners of rental units must provide a copy to tenants.

• Landscape maintenance: shared responsibility: The association provides contractor service for front-yard lawn and shrubbery pruning and irrigation system maintenance. Owners are responsible for their rear patios, including pruning trees and shrubbery there. Owners may do their own pruning of front-yard shrubbery/trees if they coordinate with the landscape maintenance director and contractor foreman.
• Architectural approval required for changes: Any structural or landscape change (other than window replacements matching original dark brown frames) requires prior written approval using the AMTA Architectural Improvement Request form. The form must be submitted to the AMTA Board/Architectural Control Director, and processing allows up to 30 days for AMTA and up to 30 days for the master association's ACC.
• Paint colors: Only two specified colors are allowed on all structures: stucco surfaces ('Sand Dune' FZ5742m, Dunn Edwards product SSHL30 Sparta Shield eggshell), wood trim ('Pepperwood' FZ204, same product), and wrought iron ('Sand Dune' oil base). External security doors may be black, white, or dark brown.
• Windows: Single-pane windows may be replaced with dual-pane windows, with or without subdividing panels, as long as frames remain dark brown matching the original. No architectural review form is needed for window replacements that meet this requirement.
• Gates & garage doors: Owners are responsible for the rear gate; replacements must duplicate the original structure and design and use the approved wood trim paint color. Garage door replacements must adhere to the original design including windows and panels.
• Awnings: Permitted colors are dark brown, tan, or adobe. Installation in front of the property must be reviewed by the Architectural Control Committee.
• Shrubbery & trees: No current restrictions on shrubbery/hedge varieties. No existing tree may be removed without prior permission from the Landscape Maintenance Director and AMTA Board approval. Removed trees must be replaced with one from the approved desert-friendly list (e.g., Cascalote, Chinese Elm, Fruitless Olive, etc.). The approved crushed granite for front patios is 'Walker Gold' (1/2-to-1 inch); acceptable substitute is 'Madison Gold'.
• Architectural review process details: The request form requires owner signature, description of improvement, attachments (plans, photos, sketches, plat map), tentative start and completion dates. If AMTA does not respond within 30 days, the owner may present directly to the master association's ACC, which also must answer within 30 days.
