Mary Lynn Road

What Mary Lynn Road's governing documents say

Mary Lynn Road is a rural subdivision in Maricopa, Arizona, governed by recorded deed restrictions that apply to each parcel owner. These restrictions control land use, construction, and property maintenance, and are intended to preserve the natural desert character of the area.

• Minimum dwelling size & construction type: All dwellings must have at least 1,500 square feet of living area (excluding garages, porches, patios) and must be site-built. Manufactured, mobile, or modular dwellings are not permitted, except for temporary housing during construction.
• Prohibited structures & materials: Structures over 18 feet in height, geodesic or domed structures, A-frames, Quonset huts, and structures moved from elsewhere are prohibited. Metal siding and metal roofs (except copper or pre-painted panels with rectangular/triangular ribs) are not allowed. Exterior colors must be neutral, earth tone, or off-white.
• Temporary housing during construction: Mobile homes, RVs, or trailers may be used as temporary housing for up to 12 months during construction of a permanent dwelling, provided a valid building permit exists, the unit is less than 10 years old, and colors substantially conform (trim may differ). Must be skirted within 30 days of placement.
• Motor vehicles & storage: Non-operative or disassembled vehicles, parts, trailers, and boats must not be stored on roads and may be on the property only if hidden from view by a fully enclosed building, fence, or vegetation. Off-road vehicles may not be operated repetitiously (racing, circular) on the property.
• Animal restrictions: Noisy animals and commercial livestock operations are prohibited. Horses are allowed for personal enjoyment if the owner occupies the dwelling, provided they are fenced and odors/accumulations are controlled. Animals may not run free. Any animal deemed a nuisance by a majority vote of adjoining parcel owners must be quieted or eliminated.
• Setbacks & lot size: All dwellings and guest houses must be set back at least 20 feet from parcel boundaries. Animal pens, corrals, and storage buildings also require a 20-foot setback, but adjacent owners may waive this by written agreement. The minimum lot size is 2.5 acres. Each 2.5-acre parcel may include one guest house of less than 900 square feet.
• Native vegetation & environmental restrictions: Saguaro cactus of any size and trees with a trunk over 4 inches in diameter (measured one foot above ground) may not be removed unless necessary for permitted improvements. Clearing of native vegetation is limited to 20% of the parcel area (excluding easements). Replanting may be required if requested by a majority of adjoining owners or the declarant. Disposal of toxic or environmentally sensitive substances is prohibited, as is hunting, trapping, and discharge of firearms.
