What Sweetwater Garden Homes's governing documents say
Sweetwater Garden Homes is a planned community of single-family homes with party walls, governed by a homeowners association (HOA) in Phoenix, AZ. You own your lot and house; the association maintains common areas and private water/sewer lines. These covenants apply to all owners and their tenants.
- Assessments & fees: Annual assessment is $1,200 per lot (as of 2003), with a maximum annual increase of 5% without a membership vote. Special assessments for capital improvements require a two-thirds vote. Delinquent assessments incur a $15/month late fee.
- Architectural review: Any exterior construction, alteration, fence, or wall requires prior written approval from a three-member Architectural Control Committee. Plans are deemed approved if no response within 30 days. The committee's powers expired in 2011 unless renewed by a majority of lot owners.
- Use restrictions: Lots are restricted to single-family residential use only. Minimum ground floor area is 1,500 square feet. No businesses except occasional garage/yard sales. Fences up to 6 feet tall (8 feet at gates) are allowed; front yard fences limited to 3 feet.
- Pets: Dogs and cats are allowed but not for commercial breeding. Pets must be leashed outside the lot, and owners must immediately remove waste.
- Parking & vehicles: Vehicles must be parked in garages when possible, otherwise on driveways. House trailers, motor homes, and utility vehicles cannot be stored on lots except in an enclosed garage for more than 7 consecutive days or 30 cumulative days per year.
- Leasing: Leases must be in writing and must state that the tenant is bound by the declaration, articles, and bylaws. No minimum lease term or rental cap is specified.
- Party walls: Walls constructed on property dividing lines are party walls shared with neighbors. Repairs from damage are split equally unless caused by one owner's negligence. Modifications require the adjoining owner's written consent.
- Maintenance responsibilities: Owners maintain the interior and exterior of their unit, including patios, landscaping, and fixtures. The association maintains common areas, private water and sewer lines, and carries master insurance on common buildings.
