Mcdowell Mountain Ranch Phase 2 Condominium Association

What Mcdowell Mountain Ranch Phase 2 Condominium Association's governing documents say

This document is a subsidiary declaration for a specific parcel within the larger McDowell Mountain Ranch master-planned community in Scottsdale, AZ. It creates an additional layer of rules for a sub-association called Cimarron Hills at McDowell Mountain Homeowners Association, which governs attached residential units (townhomes) with common walls, shared driveways, and common landscaping areas. Homeowners in this parcel must follow both the master community rules and these additional restrictions.

• Architectural review (Sub-Architectural Committee): Any improvement or work that is visible from neighboring property (streets, adjoining lots, common areas, or inside any residential unit) requires prior written approval from the Sub-Architectural Committee. This includes excavation, grading, exterior alterations, color changes, and landscaping. Approval is deemed granted if the committee does not respond within 60 days. A review fee may be charged.
• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and the residential unit on it. You are responsible for maintaining, repairing, and replacing your unit and all improvements, except for designated 'Parcel Assessment Areas' – the front, side, and rear yard landscaping and the common driveways – which are maintained by the association. However, you must water and replace landscaping on your own lot. Landscaping must be installed within 90 days of closing (if the lot has a residence).
• Common walls and shared elements: Interior and exterior walls or fences between attached units are common walls. Both owners have equal rights to use them. If one owner wants to repair or replace a common wall, they must get the adjoining owner's consent. If they cannot agree, the Sub-Architectural Committee decides. Costs are shared pro rata based on linear frontage, unless damage is caused by one owner (that owner pays). Similar rules apply to exterior painting and roof replacement/repair when they affect the adjoining unit.
• Easements across lots: Reciprocal easements exist for ingress/egress across common driveways serving multiple lots. There are also easements for drainage (in accordance with the parcel’s drainage plan), for maintenance of improvements on adjoining lots, for encroachments due to settling, and for repair of common walls, painting, and roof work. No improvement may obstruct drainage without approval.
• Association assessments for common areas: The association maintains and repairs the 'Parcel Assessment Areas' (landscaping on lots and driveways). Expenses beyond insurance proceeds are assessed only against the lots within this parcel, at a uniform rate per lot. The association may adjust the assessment if a lot has disproportionate landscaping. These are parcel-specific assessments on top of master association fees.
• What this document doesn't cover: This subsidiary declaration does not cover typical community rules such as pet restrictions, leasing limits, parking rules, age restrictions, or rental caps. Those rules may exist in the master declaration (McDowell Mountain Ranch) or the main Cimarron Hills declaration, which are referenced but not included here.
