What Dobson Place Community Association's governing documents say

Dobson Place Community Association (Gilbert, AZ) is a single-family homeowner community in the Chandler area. This document is the architectural review guidelines only—it specifies what exterior changes require committee approval. It does not address HOA fees, lease policies, pet rules, or other community governance, which are covered separately in the CC&Rs.

• Architectural review approval process: You must submit an Architectural Approval Request Form with plot plans, elevation plans, and detailed specifications before making any exterior changes. The committee has 45 days to approve or disapprove after complete submission; construction must be completed within 90 days of approval or your plans expire and must be resubmitted.
• Improvements requiring approval: You need written approval before installing pools, spas, fences, walls, patios, decks, screen enclosures, additions, awnings, new landscaping, exterior painting (unless repainting the same color), roof changes, driveway extensions, outdoor lighting, storage/accessory structures, and most decorative items.
• Improvements not requiring approval: Satellite dishes up to 18 inches in diameter installed inconspicuously on the back or side of the house below the roofline need no approval. Antennas up to 3 feet placed inconspicuously and not visible from the street are also allowed. Seasonal decorations house-mounted below the roofline do not require approval.
• Prohibited or restricted items: Permanent basketball and tetherball equipment is prohibited on individual lots (a community court is available). Portable basketball backboards are allowed only while in use, must be pole-mounted, and must be stored below fence line when not in use. Spotlights for play after sunset are not permitted.
• Fences, walls & setbacks: Fences and walls require approval. Driveway extensions cannot come closer than 4 inches to your property line and have a maximum width of 27 feet for a 2.5-car garage or 36 feet for a 3-car garage.
• Landscaping & decorative items: Changes to landscaping size, location, or design require approval. Front-yard decorative items and landscaping enhancements require approval; they must blend with the landscape and not exceed 36 inches in height. Fountains and waterfalls must not exceed 60 inches in height.
• Storage structures & accessory buildings: Storage sheds not exceeding 120 square feet, not exceeding surrounding fence height, and screened from the street and common areas do not require approval. Larger structures require approval and are limited to a maximum height of 9 feet.
• What this document doesn't cover: This is an architectural guidelines excerpt only. It does not address HOA assessments, lease or rental restrictions, pet policies, age restrictions, general parking rules, or other community governance matters, which are covered in the CC&Rs or other separate governing documents.
