Claxton-Harvey Western Ranchettes,

What Claxton-Harvey Western Ranchettes,'s governing documents say

This document is a declaration of restrictive covenants for Claxton-Harvey Western Ranchettes, Unit 2, a single-family residential subdivision in Gilbert, Arizona. It applies to all lot owners and governs land use, building design, and property maintenance. There is no homeowners association; enforcement is by individual lot owners or a developer-turned-owner committee.

• Permitted uses & livestock: All lots are restricted to single-family residential use only. No business activities. Horses, poultry, and livestock are allowed for the owner's exclusive use (not commercial), provided facilities are at least 70 feet from the front property line and maintained cleanly. Stables, livestock shelters, and tack rooms must harmonize with the main residence.
• Building requirements & minimum size: Each lot may have one single-family dwelling, a garage/carport, and a stable/livestock shelter. The dwelling must have at least 1,400 square feet of ground floor area, excluding open porches, pergolas, and attached garage. No building may be closer than 40 feet to the front property line or 30 feet to side lines; corner lots have a 20-foot setback on the side street. Stables must be at least 25 feet from the main structure and 30 feet from side lines.
• Architectural review: Before any construction, fence, wall, or alteration, the lot owner must submit plans to the developer (or later a committee of lot owners) for approval. If the developer fails to respond within 15 days, plans are deemed approved. Disputes go to arbitration via the American Arbitration Association. This authority shifts to a lot-owner committee once 75% of acreage is sold or when the developer stops policing.
• Parking & vehicles: Only private passenger cars and pickup trucks may be parked on the front or side of a lot. Larger trucks, boats, and other vehicles must be kept in a private garage. Inoperable or under-repair vehicles must be enclosed in a garage.
• Property maintenance & nuisances: Owners must keep lots free of weeds, debris, garbage, and trash. No open burning of trash. Clotheslines must be in the rear. Garbage cans and service yards must be screened. Antennas may not extend more than 8 feet above the roof. No noxious or offensive activities allowed.
• Subdivision & lot size: Lots may not be subdivided or conveyed in less than their original dimensions, except to public utilities or to combine adjoining lots into a larger parcel. After combination, the merged lot is treated as one for these covenants.
