Winn Estates

What Winn Estates's governing documents say

Winn Estates is a single-family home subdivision in Glendale, AZ, governed by a Declaration of Restrictions (similar to HOA covenants). It applies to all lot owners and sets rules for land use, building design, setbacks, maintenance, and parking. There is no homeowners association or monthly fees mentioned—enforcement is by lot owners.

• Land use & building requirements: Lots are for single-family detached dwellings only, max 2.5 stories, with a minimum 1,600 sq ft floor area (excluding porches, garages, carports, patios) and a private 3-car garage. No business, trade, manufacturing, hospital, or sanitarium is allowed.
• Architectural review: All construction, alteration, or placement of buildings requires prior written approval from a 4-member Architectural Control Committee, covering quality, design harmony, and location. The committee must respond within 30 days or approval is deemed given.
• Setbacks & fences: Buildings must be at least 25 ft from front lot line, 7 ft from interior side lot lines, and 10 ft from side street lot lines. Fences/walls up to 6 ft high at rear property line, but within front or side street setbacks they cannot exceed 2 ft 6 in. All fence designs require committee approval.
• Pets & livestock: Dogs, cats, or other household pets allowed (not for commercial breeding). Horses may be kept for single-family use if county/city rules are met and committee approves. No other livestock or poultry.
• Property maintenance & nuisance: All lots must be kept free of rubbish, weeds mowed, and improved properties maintained neatly. If an owner fails to maintain, side neighbors may clean up and file a lien for costs. No noxious or offensive activity allowed.
• Vehicles & parking: Overnight parking of trucks, pickup trucks, or trailers on streets is prohibited. Abandoned or inoperable vehicles cannot be stored on any lot if visible from other lots or streets.
• Easements & drainage: Easements shown on the subdivision map are reserved for utilities. Drainage easements must not be obstructed; owners are responsible for maintaining drainage structures and repairing any damage caused by obstruction.
• Term & enforcement: These covenants run with the land until November 1, 2008, and automatically renew every 10 years unless a majority of lot owners amend or terminate them. Violations may be enforced by any owner via lawsuit for damages or injunction.
