The Retreat at Grayhawk

What The Retreat at Grayhawk's governing documents say

The Retreat at Grayhawk is a residential planned community within the larger Grayhawk master development in Phoenix, AZ. This Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&Rs) establishes The Retreat Village Association, which governs individual lots and parcels (primarily single-family homes, though condominium units are also possible). The document sets out the framework for assessments, maintenance responsibilities, easements, and membership rights. It applies to all current and future property owners within the Retreat Village, acting as a supplement to the broader Grayhawk Master Declaration.

• Community structure & governance: The Retreat is a 'Village' within the Grayhawk master-planned community, governed by its own Village Association (The Retreat Village Association at Grayhawk). The Master Association (Grayhawk Community Association) oversees master common areas. Owners of lots or parcels automatically become members of the Village Association and have voting rights based on the number of lots or parcels owned.
• What you own & maintain: Owners hold fee title to their lot or parcel and are responsible for maintenance of their own property. The Village Association maintains the Village Common Areas (e.g., landscaping, private streets, recreational facilities) and may levy assessments for those costs. The Master Association may also maintain certain master common areas.
• Assessments & fees: The Village Association can levy annual assessments, special assessments (with owner vote), parcel assessments (for specific areas), and charge special use fees for certain amenities. Assessments are a lien on the property. The document outlines billing, collection, and enforcement procedures, including suspension of common area use for delinquencies.
• Easements & access: Owners have non-exclusive easements to use Village Common Areas, subject to association rules. Utility easements exist across lots and common areas. The declarant retains extensive easements for sales, construction, and signage. Emergency vehicles have unrestricted access.
• Development & changes: The declarant (Grayhawk Residential, Inc.) has broad rights to annex additional property, modify the development plan, and grant easements without owner consent until 2015 or the end of declarant control. This allows future expansion or changes to the community's layout.
• What this document doesn't cover: The full CC&Rs likely include restrictions on leasing, pets, construction standards, and age limits, but the provided excerpt (mostly definitions and structure) does not contain those specific rules. This document is a partial fragment; further articles (e.g., use restrictions, architectural control) are not included here.
