Preakness Estates

What Preakness Estates's governing documents say

Preakness Estates is a gated, single-family HOA community in Phoenix, Arizona governed by comprehensive covenants and restrictions enforced by the Preakness Estates Community Association. All property owners and residents must comply with strict architectural controls, landscaping and construction restrictions, and use rules. The community is located in the desert with native wildlife hazards, and the gated entrance may impede emergency vehicle access.

• Architectural review & approval: Any visible change to your property—including new structures, landscaping, exterior colors, and excavation work—requires prior written approval from the Architectural Review Committee. The Committee has 45 days to review; failure to respond within that window denies the request. The Committee may require compliance deposits (refundable upon proper completion and cleanup) and may deny changes it determines are incompatible with community design, aesthetics, or neighboring properties.
• Design Guidelines & compliance: The Architectural Review Committee establishes Design Guidelines that all owners must follow, even for improvements that don't require prior written approval. Non-compliance with Design Guidelines is a violation of the Declaration. The Board may charge fees for reviewing applications.
• Construction & temporary structures: Trailers, temporary buildings, and incomplete structures cannot be used as residences. Temporary construction buildings require prior written approval and must be removed immediately after construction or within 12 months maximum. During construction, lots must remain neat; debris and equipment storage require written approval and possible screening; work must be completed diligently with full cleanup.
• Noise, odors & nuisances: Excessive noise, odors, vibrations, animal waste, debris, and activities offensive or interfering with quiet enjoyment are prohibited. Exterior speakers and sound devices require Board approval. The Board has sole discretion to determine violations and may adopt additional noise-reduction rules. Normal construction activities are permitted but lots must stay tidy during construction.
• Wildlife & desert hazards: The community is located in desert terrain where javelinas, coyotes, mountain lions, snakes, scorpions, and other native wildlife may enter properties and cause damage or injury. Owners and residents assume all risks from wildlife and release the Association and Declarant from liability for any claims, damages, injuries, or deaths caused by wildlife.
• Gated entrance & emergency access: The gated entrance may restrict or delay access by police, fire, ambulances, and other emergency vehicles. The Association makes no guarantee that the gate provides security. Residents assume this risk and release the Association and Declarant from liability for any injury, damage, inconvenience, or disturbance caused by the gate's construction, operation, or existence.
