Elm Tree at Glenn Wilde

What Elm Tree at Glenn Wilde's governing documents say

This document is a partial set of recorded restrictions for Elm Tree At Glenn Wilde (Lots 1–144) in Maricopa, AZ. It is not a full community rulebook — it only establishes a mandatory dispute resolution process between homeowners and the original builders (U.S. Home Corporation / Greystone Homes) for claims related to the home's construction. Most typical HOA or condo rules (pets, leases, parking, assessments, architectural review) are not addressed here.

• Dispute resolution required for construction claims: Any claim against a Builder (defined as Declarants, their affiliates, and agents) relating to the home, parcel, or construction — including contracts, warranties, torts, or personal injury — must go through a specific multi-step process before any lawsuit.
• Notice & inspection before action: Owner must send a written Notice by certified mail stating the nature, legal basis, proposed remedy, and evidence (e.g., expert reports, photos). Builder then has at least 35 days to inspect the home.
• Builder's right to cure: Builder has at least 90 days from receipt of Notice to repair, replace, or pay the cost of repair. Owner cannot sue until after this cure period expires.
• Mandatory mediation: If the claim is not resolved after the cure period, either party may submit to mediation under AAA rules within 90 days of Notice. Mediation is a condition precedent to further action unless waived. Builder pays for the first day of mediation.
• Binding arbitration: If mediation fails, the claim must go to binding arbitration (not court), administered by AAA. For claims over $250,000 or seeking punitive damages, three arbitrators decide; otherwise one. Filing fees: if claim exceeds $10,000, filing party pays first $750; Builder pays next $2,000 if owner participated in mediation or waived it, or if Builder files; remainder split equally.
• Scope of parties in dispute resolution: Builder may include its parent companies, subsidiaries, affiliates, contractors, subcontractors, suppliers, warranty companies, and insurers. Arbitration is limited to the specific Home or Parcel — cannot be joined with other owners' claims without agreement.
