Camelback Garden Farms Homeowners Association

What Camelback Garden Farms Homeowners Association's governing documents say

This is an administrative law judge decision concerning a dispute between a homeowner and the Camelback Garden Farms Homeowners Association (a single-family home HOA in Litchfield Park, AZ). It is not the community's full Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&Rs) or bylaws, but it references and interprets some of those rules in the context of an election and records dispute.

• Association structure & elections: The HOA board has 5 members serving 2-year staggered terms; each lot has one vote. CC&Rs require a quorum of 50% of votes for the first membership meeting, and half that for a subsequent meeting; bylaws set quorum at one-third of votes. Floor nominations and write-in candidates were not allowed by the board in 2016 (the decision noted no statute or governing document explicitly prohibits them). Homeowners delinquent on assessments are not barred from voting by any written rule.
• Meeting notice & open meetings: Annual membership meetings must be noticed 10–50 days in advance (per Arizona statute). Board meetings are open to members except for closed sessions on legal advice, litigation, or personal/financial information. The board typically posts notices by email and on a community board; failure of a member to receive actual notice does not invalidate meeting actions.
• Records access: Members may request financial and other records; the association has 10 business days to respond. Copies cost up to 15 cents per page. Certain records (attorney communications, pending litigation, personal financial info) may be withheld. The board must produce all responsive documents in its possession.
• Parking & vehicles: The CC&Rs contain RV parking restrictions, but the specific rules are not included in this document. A prior lawsuit and settlement resolved a dispute over enforcement of those restrictions.
• What this document doesn't cover: This document does not list the full CC&Rs or bylaws. It does not address typical HOA rules such as pet limits, architectural standards, landscaping requirements, maintenance obligations, or specific fee amounts. For a complete understanding of what living here requires, you would need to read the actual governing documents.
