Discovery at the Orchards

What Discovery at the Orchards's governing documents say

Discovery At The Orchards is a condominium community in Phoenix, AZ. This document is an Antenna Resolution and Policy adopted by the homeowners association to regulate satellite dishes and antennas in accordance with FCC rules. It applies to all owners, tenants, and occupants. The policy sets specific rules for installation, location, maintenance, and enforcement.

• Allowed antennas & sizes: Direct broadcast satellite (DBS) antennas one meter or less, multi-point distribution service (MDS) antennas one meter or less, television broadcast antennas (TVBS), and data service antennas (e.g., Internet) are allowed. Masts higher than 12 feet above the roofline require board approval.
• Installation location & restrictions: Antennas must be installed on your unit, balcony, terrace, deck, or patio if it's an exclusive-use area. They cannot encroach on common elements or another owner's property. If an acceptable signal can be received indoors, the antenna must be placed inside. Antennas must be shielded from view with plants or screening if possible, and painted to match the structure.
• Notification & approval: You must submit a Notification of Installation form (Exhibit A) to the association within 5 business days after installing an allowed antenna. If the mast extends more than 12 feet above the roofline or higher than the distance to the lot line, you must submit a separate form (Exhibit B) with detailed plans and contractor insurance for board approval.
• Maintenance & liability: The owner is responsible for all installation, maintenance, removal costs, and any damage caused by the antenna. Owners must indemnify the association against injuries. If maintenance requires temporary removal, the association gives 10 days' notice; if the owner does not remove it, the association may do so at the owner's expense.
• Enforcement & fines: Violations can result in a $50 fine per violation, plus $10 per day if not corrected within a reasonable time. The association can also seek injunctive relief for safety hazards and recover attorney's fees.
• What this document doesn't cover: This is a partial document—an antenna policy only. It does not cover general HOA rules, assessments, pet restrictions, leasing rules, or other community covenants. Refer to the full Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions for those rules.
