Sunburst Farms Twenty

What Sunburst Farms Twenty's governing documents say

Sunburst Farms Twenty is a single-family residential subdivision in Phoenix, Arizona (Maricopa County) with an integrated agricultural water and irrigation system managed by the Sunburst Farms (Glendale) Mutual Water and Agricultural Company. When you buy a lot, you automatically become a member of the association and pay for irrigation water and agricultural services.

• Building type & structure: You may build one single-family residence per lot, with a private garage/carport and optional stable/livestock shelter. The main residence must have a minimum ground floor of 1,050 sq ft (excluding porches and garage).
• Setbacks from property lines: Front of house must be at least 20 ft from the front property line (porch or garage may project 5 ft). Sides must be at least 15 ft. Any stable or livestock shelter must be 25 ft from the main residence and 20 ft from side property lines.
• Fencing, walls & hedges: In the front yard, solid fences and walls are limited to 5 ft high, and hedges to 3 ft (positioned at least 20 ft from the front line). Side and rear fences/walls cannot exceed 6 ft in height.
• Livestock & agriculture: You may keep poultry, livestock, and horses, but all facilities must be at least 70 ft from the front property line and kept clean and orderly. Commercial animal husbandry is not permitted; livestock is for your own use only.
• Association membership & water/tillage charges: You automatically become a member upon ownership. You must pay the association's charges for irrigation water and agricultural tillage services set by the Board of Directors. Unpaid charges become a lien on your lot at 5% annual interest and cannot be waived by declining to use the service.
• How long the restrictions apply: The covenants were binding from 1972 through January 1, 1998. After 1998, they automatically renew for successive 10-year periods unless amended by a majority vote of lot owners. While the developer owned the majority of lots, FHA and VA approval was required to amend the covenants.
