Yale Casitas

What Yale Casitas's governing documents say

Yale Casitas is a condominium community in Phoenix, Arizona where you own your individual unit and share ownership of the building's common elements, maintained by the association and funded by per-unit assessments. All units must be used exclusively for residential purposes by a single family or household. The document is an OCR scan of the original 1999 Declaration and some sections are incomplete or partially unreadable.

• What you own & maintain: You own your unit from the exterior wall surfaces (including windows and doors) to the roof slab. Your allocated share of common elements is 1/8 per unit. Limited common elements assigned to you include the rear and side yards adjoining your unit, your individual utility meters, and the concrete step/porch adjoining your unit. The association maintains all common structures and grounds.
• Residential use and home business: Units must be used exclusively for residential purposes by a single family (one or more related persons, or unrelated persons sharing a common household). Home-based business is allowed only if: not visible or detectable from outside; conforms to zoning; involves no outside visitors or door-to-door solicitation; uses no more than one non-resident employee; generates no traffic congestion; uses no hazardous materials; and maintains residential character.
• Architectural review and exterior modifications: Any exterior modification visible from common elements requires prior written Board approval. Board reviews plans and specifications for aesthetic harmony with surrounding improvements. This includes exterior window coverings, fencing, walls, color, and materials. The Board has 45 days to respond; lack of response constitutes approval. Board approval is not a warranty of code compliance.
• Satellite dishes and antennas: No external antennas, satellite dishes, or similar transmission/reception devices are allowed to be visible from common elements unless the Board approves. Exception: you may install one satellite dish not exceeding one meter in width in the yard area adjoining your unit.
• Underground utilities: All utility lines (electric, telephone, television, radio) must be installed in underground conduits or concealed in structures, except pre-existing lines at the time the first unit was conveyed. Utilities not separately metered to individual units are paid by the Association as a common expense.
• Common expense assessments: Each unit is allocated 1/8 of the association's common expense liability and 1/8 of common element ownership. Assessments cover maintenance of common elements and may be adjusted if additional phases are added to the condominium. The document provides for both regular common expense assessments and special assessments.
• Trash and garbage: Garbage and trash must be kept in covered containers of a type, size, and style approved by the Board or provided by the City of Phoenix. The Board may require trash placement in designated areas. No incinerators are permitted in units.
• What this document doesn't fully cover: The document references leasing restrictions (Section 4.17), parking and vehicle restrictions (Sections 4.11–4.12), animal/pet policies (Section 4.6), and temporary occupancy rules (Section 4.7), but those sections are not fully visible or readable in this OCR excerpt.
