San Marcos Crossing of Apache Junction

What San Marcos Crossing of Apache Junction's governing documents say

San Marcos Crossing is a standard single-family home HOA in Apache Junction, AZ. You own your lot and home; the association maintains common areas. These covenants bind all owners and residents.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and dwelling unit. The association maintains common areas, including non-public streets, sidewalks, and landscaping. Exterior maintenance of your home (walls, fences, repainting) is your responsibility, but the association may step in and charge you if you fail to keep it in good condition.
• Assessments & fees: The initial maximum annual assessment is $340 per lot. Annual increases are capped at the greater of 10% or the CPI increase, unless two-thirds of members approve a higher increase. Special assessments for capital improvements also require two-thirds member vote. Assessments are a lien on your lot, and delinquencies bear 12% interest and attorney fees.
• Architectural review: Any exterior changes (structures, fences, landscaping, color changes) require prior written approval from the Architectural Control Committee. Plans are deemed denied if not acted on within 30 days, but you may resubmit. The committee can grant variances. Declarant is exempt from these rules.
• Use restrictions: Lots are for single-family residential use only. No more than one residence per lot. Home-based businesses are allowed if not visible or detectable from outside, no customer traffic, and consistent with residential character. No hazardous activities, no firearms discharge, no open fires except contained barbecues or fireplaces.
• Pets: No animals may be raised, bred, or kept for commercial purposes. A reasonable number of house or yard pets is allowed, ordinarily no more than two per household. The committee decides if a pet is a nuisance or if the number is reasonable.
• Parking & vehicles: Vehicles should be stored in garage or carport to conceal from view. Recreational vehicles, boats, trailers, commercial vehicles, and motor homes cannot be parked on the lot except in a rear yard behind an approved enclosed gate. Use of any such vehicle as living quarters on the property is prohibited.
• Leasing & rentals: You may lease your dwelling unit, but the lease must be in writing for at least 30 days, must include a clause that tenant violations of HOA rules are a lease default, and a copy must be provided to the association. Leasing is not considered a business use.
• Construction & lot standards: Minimum square footage: 1,100 sq ft for one-story, 800 sq ft ground floor for two-story. Must have a two-car garage, concrete driveway, masonry or frame construction. Setbacks: at least 20 ft front and rear, minimum 5 ft side (interior lots) for a total of 15 ft. Construction must be completed within 12 months of commencement.
