Kirk Estates

What Kirk Estates's governing documents say

Kirk Estates is a single-family home subdivision in Mesa, AZ, governed by restrictive covenants recorded in 1973. These rules apply to all lot owners and residents, and are intended to maintain the residential character of the neighborhood.

• Residential use only: All lots are restricted to single-family residential use only. No business, hospital, theater, saloon, or other commercial activity may be conducted on any lot.
• Minimum home size: Every dwelling must have at least 1,800 square feet of ground floor area, excluding open porches, garages, and basements.
• Height restrictions: Structures are limited to one story, except tri-level dwellings may be up to 1½ stories. Garages are limited to one story.
• Setbacks: Front walls must be at least 25 feet from the front lot line. Side walls must be at least 7 feet from one side line and 13 feet from the carport side line.
• Fences and walls: No solid wall, hedge, or fence over 2½ feet high is allowed in the front setback area. Side and rear fences may be up to 6 feet high.
• Vehicles and storage: No abandoned or inoperable vehicles may be stored where visible from other lots or streets. Motor homes, campers, trailers, or boats may not be parked in front yards unless under a carport; rear yard parking is allowed.
• Architectural review: No structure may be built or altered unless its design, location, and materials are approved in writing by the designated committee (initially Fred and Louise Fehrenkamp, later a committee elected by a majority of owners). Failure to act within 30 days waives the requirement.
• Term of restrictions: These covenants run with the land until January 1, 1993, and automatically renew for successive 10-year periods unless a majority of owners votes to change them.
