Trailer Lake Estates

What Trailer Lake Estates's governing documents say

This is the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions for Mountainview Lake Estates, a planned residential community of townhomes (attached homes) and common area with lakes in Glendale, AZ (Maricopa County). It creates a homeowners association (Mountainview Lake Estates Homeowners Association, Inc.) that maintains common areas and certain exterior surfaces, and all owners are automatically members. The rules bind all lot owners, their tenants, guests, and successors.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and dwelling unit. The association maintains the common area (tracts, private streets, lakes) and the non-glass exterior surfaces of homes (front, back, sides facing streets/common areas, some roof areas) and the landscaping in front of those surfaces. Owners maintain the interior and other exterior areas like rear yards and windows.
• Residential use only: Lots may only be used for single-family residential purposes — no businesses, manufacturing, or commercial activity (except model homes and sales offices during construction). No lot may have more than one living unit.
• Signs: No signs visible from neighboring property are allowed except: signs required by legal proceedings, up to two small residential identification signs (each ≤72 sq. in.), the developer's sales/lease signs, and signs placed by the association on common area.
• Vehicles & recreational equipment: The document restricts vehicles and recreational equipment (Article IX, Section 6) — likely prohibits parking of boats, RVs, or commercial vehicles, but the specific rules are not fully legible in this excerpt.
• Animals: The document includes restrictions on animals (Article IX, Section 7), but the full text is not available in this excerpt. Common restrictions would limit number, type, and require leashing.
• Assessments & fees: Each lot pays annual assessments (estimated at $1,200/year in 1983, subject to change) and may pay special assessments for capital improvements (requires 2/3 member vote). Annual assessment increases are capped at 10% per year without a 2/3 vote. Assessments are a lien on the lot and a personal obligation of the owner.
• Architectural review: Exterior changes to lots or buildings require approval from an Architectural Committee (Article XII). This likely covers paint colors, additions, fences, and landscaping changes.
• Lake & waterfront rules: The community has lakes (Lake Serena, Mountainview Lake) and private waterfront areas. Use is governed by specific rules in Article XIII, including restrictions on swimming, boats, and docks.
