What Bent Tree Desert Estates II's governing documents say
Bent Tree Desert Estates II is a single-family home subdivision in Phoenix, AZ, governed by a homeowners' association (HOA). This declaration of covenants, conditions, and restrictions (CC&Rs) binds all lot owners and sets rules for architectural standards, land use, assessments, and maintenance.
- Architectural review: All exterior changes—including structures, fences, landscaping, painting, and solar panels—require prior written approval from the Architectural Control Committee. Plans must show compliance with setback, floor area, and design standards. Construction must be completed within nine months of starting.
- Minimum floor area & building envelope: Each house must have at least 2,000 square feet of ground-level floor area, excluding garages, porches, and guesthouses. Buildings must stay within a designated 'building envelope,' which is at least 15 feet from side lot lines and 30 feet from front and rear lot lines.
- Property rights & easements: Lot owners have reciprocal easements for maintenance within five feet of lot boundaries, for minor encroachments up to one foot, and for scenic views. Natural arroyos must remain undisturbed, with fencing that does not block water flow. The association maintains common amenities (perimeter walls, entrance landscaping).
- Use restrictions: Lots are for single-family residential use only. No commercial activities, churches, group homes, or temporary living (e.g., campers, trailers) allowed. No motor homes, boats, or recreational vehicles may be stored on lots. Basketball goals prohibited in front yards.
- Assessments & fees: Annual assessments start at $100 per lot (as of 1993), with a maximum 15% increase each year without a membership vote. Special assessments for capital improvements require two-thirds approval of each voting class. A transfer fee may be charged to new owners.
- Maintenance & enforcement: Owners must maintain their lot and buildings (including landscaping) in a neat, first-class condition. If an owner fails to comply after a 30-day notice, the association may enter the lot to perform repairs and charge the owner. The association can also suspend voting rights for nonpayment or violations.
- Insurance: The association must carry at least $1 million liability insurance for common areas and directors/officers insurance. Each owner is responsible for insuring their own lot and improvements. Damage to common areas beyond insurance proceeds is shared equally among lot owners.
