Lunar Vista Estates

What Lunar Vista Estates's governing documents say

Lunar Vista Estates is a standard single-family home HOA in Phoenix, AZ, governed by a declaration of restrictions recorded in 1974. The rules apply to lot owners and require architectural approval for construction, set minimum home size, and regulate lot use, parking, and nuisances. This document does not include assessments, leasing restrictions, or age limits.

• Land use & building type: Lots are for residential use only. Each lot may have one detached single-family dwelling (max one story, unless committee approves 1½- or 2-story) and a private enclosed garage. No business, trade, hospital, or sanitarium allowed.
• Architectural review: All construction, alteration, or placement of buildings requires written approval from the Architectural Control Committee (initially Clyde L. Staggs and Paul Winslow). The committee must act within 30 days of plan submission; if not, approval is deemed given if no lawsuit to enjoin is filed before completion.
• Building size & location: Minimum floor area of dwelling (excluding porches, garages, storage, carports, patios) is 1,700 square feet unless committee approves smaller. Setbacks: front yard – 30 ft, interior side – 7 ft, street side – 10 ft, rear – 25 ft. Eaves, steps, open porches don't count for setback. No prefabricated or temporary structures for residence (except contractor offices during development).
• Fences & walls: Fences or walls on rear or side property lines cannot exceed 6 feet in height. Within the minimum front setback area, fences cannot exceed 3 feet. Design and style must be approved by the committee.
• Signs: Only one sign per lot, not exceeding 4 square feet, advertising the property for sale or rent is allowed. Other signs require committee approval or are placed by developer during development.
• Pets & livestock: No livestock, poultry, or animals bred or kept for commercial purposes. Dogs, cats, and other household pets are allowed as long as not kept for commercial breeding or maintenance.
• Parking & vehicles: No overnight parking of trucks, pickup trucks, or trailers on the street. Only passenger cars and pickup trucks may be parked in open carports. No gravel, rock, or non-grass lawns may replace natural grass.
• Property maintenance & nuisances: Vacant lots must be kept free of rubbish and weeds; improved properties must maintain neat, sightly yards. No noxious or offensive activity. Garbage must be in sanitary containers. During owner's prolonged absence, they must arrange care; neighbors can clean up and file a lien for costs if owner refuses.
