Eagle Roost Airdrome

What Eagle Roost Airdrome's governing documents say

Eagle Roost Airdrome is a residential airpark community in Phoenix, AZ, where homeowners own at least 5 acres of land and share a private runway and taxiways. This document is the full set of covenants (CC&Rs) that govern the property—binding on all lot owners. It covers everything from aircraft operations to building standards, but it is not a condominium or typical HOA.

• Minimum lot size & membership: No parcel can be subdivided or sold in pieces smaller than 5 gross acres. All owners automatically become members of Eagle Roost Management, Inc., with one vote per acre owned.
• Assessments: The Board sets assessments to cover costs of maintaining common facilities (runway, roads, etc.). Assessments cannot exceed actual costs. They are a personal obligation of the owner and a lien on the land, superior to most other liens except taxes and first mortgages.
• Aircraft & vehicle operations: All owners grant a license for aircraft operations and waive airspace claims (except for hazards). Off-road vehicles need noise suppressors and cannot be on the runway. Vehicles must stop and check for aircraft before crossing the runway. Speed limit is 35 mph on roads and taxiways. Pedestrians are prohibited on the runway except for maintenance.
• Commercial use: No commercial operations of any kind are allowed on the property, including repair garages, hospitals, theaters, bars, restaurants, motels, or hotels.
• Livestock: Livestock and poultry (except swine) may be kept if fenced to prevent straying, corral/grazing areas are at least 100 feet from any residence or water supply, and waste is properly disposed. Adequate fencing is required to keep animals off the runway.
• Building approval & requirements: All new structures or alterations require written approval from the association (with appeal to the Board and then to a majority of parcel owners). Height limit is 24 feet (max 2 stories). No shiny aluminum or steel roofing. Only one home and one guest house (no kitchen) per lot. Mobile homes need written approval. Buildings and fences must observe setbacks: no structures over 2 feet high within 130 feet of the runway centerline; fences outside that zone max 6 feet; building walls at least 80 feet from roadways and 60 feet from side property lines.
• Temporary living quarters: Temporary living (including travel trailers or motor homes) is allowed only during active construction of a permanent residence, with a valid building permit and written approval from the association. If construction stops and the permit lapses, the temporary quarters must be vacated and removed.
• Landscaping & signs: No plants over 4 feet tall within 100 feet of taxiway intersections. No trees or shrubs in easements. Exterior lighting must be shaded. Drying lines are prohibited. No billboards; only one 'For Sale' sign per lot, max 4 square feet and 3 feet tall. Tanks over 6 feet must be screened from view.
