Westbrook Village

What Westbrook Village's governing documents say

Westbrook Village is a homeowner association (HOA) in Phoenix, AZ, governed by a recorded Declaration of Covenants. This document is a specific resolution and policy adopted by the association to regulate the installation, use, and maintenance of satellite dishes and antennas in accordance with FCC rules. It applies to all owners, tenants, and occupants, with the owner ultimately responsible for compliance.

• Antenna types allowed: The FCC preempts the Declaration's ban on antennas for three types: Direct Broadcast Satellite (DBS) antennas one meter or less, Multi-point Distribution Service (MDS) antennas one meter or less, and antennas for TV broadcast signals. Larger antennas are still subject to the original deed restrictions requiring screening and Architectural Control Committee approval.
• Location and installation restrictions: Antennas must not encroach on common areas or another owner's property, must be placed inside the dwelling if possible, and must be shielded to the maximum extent from street and neighbors (landscaping may be required). Visible wiring and masts must be painted to match the structure, and all antennas must comply with applicable laws, manufacturer instructions, and safety rules (grounding, no power line contact, no obstructing driver's view).
• Mast height limits: Masts must be no higher than necessary for acceptable signal quality. Masts extending more than 12 feet above the roofline require pre-approval with a detailed application. Masts must also not be nearer to the lot line than the total height of the mast and antenna, and must not touch a power line if fallen.
• Owner responsibilities and enforcement: The owner pays all installation and maintenance costs, is liable for any damage, and must indemnify the association. A written notification form must be submitted within 5 business days after installation. Violations can result in a $50 fine plus $10 per day for continued non-compliance, and the association may seek injunctive relief or attorney's fees.
• What this document doesn't cover: This is a partial/ancillary document covering only antenna regulations. It does not cover other HOA rules such as leasing, pet restrictions, assessments, parking, architectural changes (except antennas), or age restrictions.
