Double R Meadows

What Double R Meadows's governing documents say

Double R Meadows is a standard single-family home subdivision in Tolleson, Arizona (though the document references Gilbert). As a homeowner, you own your lot and home, and you're subject to detailed covenants governing construction, landscaping, and use. The community is designed for horsemen, with horse privileges on all 14 lots, and has strong architectural controls to maintain a uniform rural-residential character.

• Residential use & lot restrictions: Each lot is limited to one single-family residence plus accessory structures (garage, barn, tack room). No multi-family, business, or commercial use is allowed, though home-based businesses using electronic equipment are permitted if they don't increase traffic or deliveries. Lots cannot be subdivided further.
• Horse privileges & animals: All lots have horse privileges for non-commercial keeping of horses. Dogs must be fenced. Swine, guinea hens, peacocks, and geese are prohibited. Commercial breeding or boarding is not allowed.
• Architectural control: An Architectural Control Committee (ACC) must approve all plans for buildings, fences, landscaping, and exterior changes before construction. Preliminary and final sets of plans are required, and a review fee may be charged. The ACC has broad discretion over design, materials, and harmony with surroundings.
• Minimum home size & setbacks: Single-family homes must have at least 2,500 square feet of livable area on grade level (excluding garages and porches). Minimum setbacks are 40 feet front, 20 feet sides, and 40 feet rear.
• Landscaping requirements: Every owner must submit a front yard landscape plan for ACC approval, including two 24-inch box trees (mesquite, ash, or evergreen elm) placed about 10 feet from the curb. Approved landscaping must be installed within 180 days of the certificate of occupancy. Non-compliance triggers escalating fines starting at $25 per week.
• Fencing: Six-foot block walls are required on side and rear property lines, built within 40 feet of the front line. Fencing must be of the same color and finish as the house. Shared walls between neighbors are a shared cost obligation, enforceable by lien.
• Parking & vehicles: Only passenger cars and 3/4-ton pickup trucks may be parked on driveways. Campers, trailers, motor homes, and boats cannot be parked where visible from the street. Inoperative vehicles must be inside a garage. ATVs, trail bikes, and go-carts are not allowed on easements or vacant lots.
• Assessments & enforcement: The HOA levies annual and special assessments on each lot for common area maintenance and reserves. Assessments are a lien on the lot if unpaid, with 18% annual interest and collection costs. Late fees and escalating fines (starting at $25 per week for most violations) apply after notice and hearing.
