Yakashba

What Yakashba's governing documents say

Yakashba Estates is a standard single-family home subdivision in Prescott, AZ. This Declaration of Restrictions creates a mandatory homeowners association (Yakashba Estates Association) and sets binding rules on land use, construction, pets, and assessments for all lot owners.

• Assessments & fees: Annual assessments cannot exceed $100 per lot unless 75% of lot owners consent in writing. The board may levy assessments for maintenance, improvements, and a reserve fund. Unpaid assessments become a lien on the lot after 30 days, enforceable by foreclosure.
• Architectural review: No building, structure, or alteration may be erected or changed without submitting detailed plans and specifications to the Board of Directors (or the developer for new houses on vacant lots) and obtaining written approval. The board also has an Architectural Advisory Committee.
• Use restrictions: Only one single-family residence per lot, plus a garage and possibly a guest house (for temporary guests only). No hotels, apartments, commercial businesses, or rooming houses are allowed. No signs or billboards. Trailers or campers may not be used as dwellings unless parked in an approved location with covering.
• Pets & livestock: No more than two dogs or cats per household at any one time (except litters of puppies or kittens, which must be disposed of by 4 months). Chickens and other livestock are prohibited, but horses are allowed if confined within approved areas.
• Tree protection: Trees beyond a 100-foot radius of a house may not be cut down without permission from the Board of Directors. Trees are defined as woody plants 10 feet or taller, excluding brush or shrubs.
• Water system: The developer (Zabriskie) is responsible for installing and maintaining water mains, pipelines, and pumps to City of Prescott standards. If they fail to maintain the system, the Association may take over maintenance and assess all lots their pro-rata share of the cost.
• Duration & amendments: These restrictions run for an initial 10 years and automatically renew for successive 5-year periods unless revoked or amended by an instrument signed by 75% of lot owners, recorded within 90 days before expiration of any term.
• Variances: The Board of Directors may grant variances to any restriction, but only with the written approval of four of the five board members.
