Sandpiper Scottsdale No. 2

What Sandpiper Scottsdale No. 2's governing documents say

Sandpiper Scottsdale No. 2 is a mixed-use planned community in Scottsdale, AZ, with townhouses and interspersed condominiums governed by a homeowners association. You own your individual unit and share ownership of common areas, recreational facilities, and other shared property. All unit owners must pay annual assessments and are subject to the association's architectural and use rules.

• What you own & maintain: You own your townhouse or condo unit. The association maintains common areas, recreational facilities, and the exterior of all buildings (roofs, gutters, siding). You are responsible for landscaping, grass, driveways, parking areas, trees, shrubs, windows, and air conditioning units on your property.
• Annual assessments & special assessments: You must pay annual assessments to the association, initially capped at $1,608 per year but set by the Board thereafter. The association can also levy special assessments (with a two-thirds member vote) for capital improvements or repairs. Unpaid assessments accrue 7% annual interest and become a lien on your property; the association can foreclose to collect.
• Insurance & damage: The association carries master fire and liability insurance (minimum $500,000 per person, $1,000,000 per accident, $50,000 property damage) on all buildings and common areas. Individual unit owners must carry their own hazard insurance or it may be bundled in the master policy. If damage is minor, the association repairs at its cost; if major, a special assessment may be required. If owners vote not to rebuild after major damage, the restrictions terminate for that parcel.
• Pets, vehicles, & equipment: Dogs, cats, and household pets are permitted but not in unreasonable numbers and must not be a nuisance. Trailers, campers, boats, and golf carts must be enclosed in a garage or carport, or stored in a designated area—not visible from your lot.
• Architectural review: All exterior changes, additions, or new structures require written approval from the Architectural Committee before construction. The committee has 30 days to respond; if they do not approve or disapprove within 30 days, your application is deemed approved.
• Use restrictions: Properties are residential-only; no business, commercial, manufacturing, industrial, or mining operations are permitted. No temporary structures (trailers, shacks, tents) can be used as residences. Clotheslines, storage areas, refuse containers, and woodpiles must be screened from neighboring properties.
• Party walls (townhomes): Owners of townhouses share the cost of repairing and maintaining shared walls proportionally to their use. An owner who causes wall damage through negligence bears the full cost of weatherproofing and protection.
• Governance & voting: You hold one vote per unit. The developer initially holds three votes per unit and can vote to convert to one vote per unit once developer votes equal owner votes, or by December 31, 1979, whichever is first. Amending the declaration requires approval from 90% of lot owners for the first 20 years, then 75% thereafter.
