Jamieson Estates

What Jamieson Estates's governing documents say

This is a declaration of restrictions for Jamieson Estates, a single-family residential subdivision in Phoenix, AZ. These covenants run with the land and bind all lot owners. The document sets minimum building standards, prohibits mobile homes, and provides for a mutual improvement association to maintain roads and common areas.

• Property use & structures: Lots are for single-family residential use only. No more than one detached single-family dwelling (max two stories) plus a private garage/carport and a guest house or servant quarters are permitted. House trailers are banned except for up to 5 days for residential purposes.
• Minimum construction standards: Any dwelling must have a reasonable cost of at least $15,000 and a ground floor area of at least 1,400 square feet, excluding open porches, pergolas, or attached garage.
• Setback requirements: Front walls must be between 20 and 40 feet from the front property line. Side walls must be at least 5 feet from the side lot line, except open carports with frame storage may be 3 feet. Rear garages or guest houses in the rear one-third of the lot are exempt from side setbacks.
• Outbuildings & construction timing: No garage or outbuilding may be built until a dwelling is erected or a contract for its construction is in place. Outbuildings cannot be used for residential purposes, but guest or servant quarters within them are allowed.
• Mutual improvement association: Each lot owner, by accepting a deed, agrees to join any mutual improvement and maintenance association organized among owners. This association may enter lots for weed/brush removal and beautification, and can charge fees that become a lien on the lot (subject to prior mortgages).
• Duration & amendment: These restrictions run with the land until July 1990 and automatically extend for successive 10-year periods unless a majority of lot owners vote to change them.
• What this document doesn't cover: This document does not specify pet rules, leasing restrictions, parking regulations, or architectural review procedures beyond the stated setbacks and minimums.
