Architectural Rules | Parkridge 4 & 5 Homeowners' Association
PARKRIDGE 4 & 5 HOMEOWNERS' ASSOCIATION
- General Ledger Reports
PARKRIDGE IV AND V HOMEOWNERS’ ASSOCIATION
In accordance with the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, Restrictions & Easements Parkridge IV and V (the “Declaration”), the Architectural Committee (the “Committee”) has adopted the following Architectural Committee Rules (the “Guidelines”) which shall apply to all Lots within Parkridge IV and V Homeowners’ Association (the “Association”).
​Each Lot Owner should read, review and become acquainted with the Declaration and with these Guidelines, as they may be amended from time to time. These documents are intended to enhance property values and the high standards of development that exist within the Association. The Guidelines are established to assist residents in preparing an application to the Committee for structural and landscape improvements. Unless otherwise noted, capitalized terms generally shall have the same meaning as provided in the Declaration.
Owners are strongly encouraged to consult the Declaration in addition to these Guidelines when making a submission to the Committee. FOLLOWING THESE GUIDELINES DOES NOT ELIMINATE THE NEED FOR SUBMISSION OF PLANS FOR APPROVAL BY THE COMMITTEE.
Even if your addition or alteration is identical to another which has been approved, it must be submitted for approval. Because each situation may have different conditions, e.g., different locations, physical conditions or design consideration, etc., each application will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. In the event of any inconsistency or conflict between these Guidelines and the Declaration, the Declaration shall control. All architectural approvals will be conditioned upon compliance with applicable City codes. The duty of the Committee shall be to review architectural submittals and approve or disapprove them.
Application and plans (which will be kept on file with the Association) should be mailed to: ​
Kachina Management, Inc.
21448 N. 75th Ave, Suite 6
1. Application Form – A completed application form (copies of which can be obtained from the management office).
2. Plot Plan – A site plan showing dimensions, relationship to existing dwelling and property lines (setbacks). Measurements must be written on the plans.
3. Elevations Plans – Plans showing finished appearance of addition in relationship to existing dwelling. An accompanying photograph of the proposed location would be helpful.
4. Specifications – Detailed description of materials to be used and color samples must be submitted. If a city permit is required, this must also be submitted with the request.
All buildings and structures erected within the Association and the use and appearance of all land within the Association, shall comply with all applicable City of Peoria zoning ordinances, building codes and other ordinances as well as the Declaration and these Guidelines.
Review – Approval and/or Disapproval
Pursuant to Section 7.6 of the Declaration, the Committee must approve or disapprove submitted plans and specifications, or they will be deemed approved thirty (30) days after their submission.
Review and approval or disapproval will include, but not be limited to: consideration of material, quality of workmanship, colors, consistency with the external design and color of existing structures on the Lot and to neighboring Lots. The location of the improvements with respect to topography and finished grade elevation is also considered.
Official approvals will always be in writing. Verbal approvals will not be issued, and Owners shall not rely on any verbal statements by a member of the Committee or Board in lieu of written approval from the Committee.
Pursuant to Section 7.7 of the Declaration, neither the Committee nor the Association shall have any liability in connection with or related to approved or disapproved plans, specifications or improvements. The approval of the plans does not mean that judgment is passed on the structural soundness of the addition nor its effect upon existing or future drainage. The review of the plans is for aesthetic purposes only.
To assist in preventing any conflict of interest issues, Committee members shall not be permitted to vote on their own architectural requests. In the event that a member of the Committee has submitted an architectural request, an alternate member will be assigned in their place, for only that request, in order to preserve the integrity of the Committee.
Construction must be started within 90 days of the date of the Committee’s approval of the application or such other time period as agreed upon by the Committee at the time of approval. If construction is not begun by the required time, then the Committee’s approval shall be deemed withdrawn and plans must be resubmitted in accordance with these Guidelines.
Once started, construction shall be pursued diligently in order to assure prompt completion thereof. Absent a different deadline for completion of construction (which may be shorter or longer, in the Committee’s discussion), such construction shall be completed within six (6) months after the date of the Committee’s approval of the applicable application. If work is not completed within the time period required, then the Committee may withdraw its approval.
If, after work commences, delays arise that are likely to result in the completion deadline being missed, the Owner should promptly notify the Committee and request an extension in order to avoid violations and possible fines.
Any owner or resident whose submission is rejected by the Committee may appeal the decision to the board of directors. The appeal must be in writing to Parkridge IV&V Board of Directors, C/O Kachina Management.
Any appeal must be submitted no later than 30 days from the date of denial. Appeals will be considered in the sole discretion of the Board, based on whether the proper procedures were followed and taking into account the factors listed in Section 8.1(d) of the Declaration.
Appeals will be heard at the next scheduled Board meeting after the submission of the appeal. The Owner is permitted to attend this meeting and make a statement to the Board. The decision of the Board is final and binding and no further appeals will be considered.
Compliance and Variance
The approved submittal is final and binding. If an Owner wishes to make a change which deviates from the plans as approved by the Committee, the applicant must submit a written request to the Committee along with a set of plans clearly delineating the proposed change(s). The Committee shall respond to such request within thirty (30) days from the date of receipt. No such changes may be undertaken until Committee approval is received.

SOLAR PANELS, WIND TURBINES, AND EQUIPMENT
The Association recognizes the Owners’ right to install and use solar energy devices, as set forth in A.R.S. § 33-439, and hereby adopts these guidelines in order to regulate the placement of solar energy devices that are governed by A.R.S. § 33-439 and A.R.S. § 44-1761. This provision applies only to the types of solar energy devices listed in A.R.S. § 44-1761, which include a system or series of mechanisms designed primarily to provide heating, to provide cooling, to produce electrical power, to produce mechanical power, to provide solar day lighting or to provide any combination of the foregoing by means of collecting and transferring solar generated energy into such uses either by active or passive means. Such systems may also have the capability of storing such energy for future utilization. Passive systems shall clearly be designed as a solar energy device such as a trombe wall and not merely a part of a normal structure such as a window. If A.R.S. § 44-1761 is expanded to include other types of solar energy devices, these Guidelines shall encompass those solar energy devices as well.
All other solar energy devices, except the ones listed above, may not be placed on the Lot unless approved in writing by the Committee. If the solar energy device is one of the devices listed in A.R.S. § 44-1761, the placement of the solar energy device must be approved in advance by the Committee. Such solar energy device must comply with the following guidelines:
1. No solar energy device may encroach upon the Common Area or the property of another Owner.
2. A solar energy device must be placed in the back yard or on a portion of the roof facing away from the street so as not to be Visible From Neighboring Property.
3. The solar energy device must be shielded from view so as not to be Visible From Neighboring Property to the maximum extent possible. The landscaping or structure used to shield the solar energy device must be approved in advance by the Committee.
4. The solar energy device must comply with all applicable city, county, and state laws, regulations and codes. The Association must be provided with a copy of any applicable governmental permits.
5. Placement and installation must be pursuant to the manufacturer’s instructions.
6. In order to protect against personal injury and property damage, the solar energy device may not be placed in a location where it may come into contact with a power line.
7. In order to protect against personal injury and property damage, all solar energy devices must be properly grounded and secured.
8. In order to protect against personal injury, solar energy devices may not block or obstruct any driver’s view of an intersection or street.
With respect to the maintenance of any solar energy device, the following guidelines will apply:
1. The Owner is responsible for all costs associated with the installation and maintenance of the solar energy device.
2. The Owner is responsible for all damage caused by or connected with the solar energy device.
3. The Owner must hold the Association harmless and indemnify the Association in the event that someone is injured by the solar energy device.
4. The Owner shall keep the solar energy device in good repair so that it does not violate any portion of the Association’s governing documents.
Any applicable architectural review fee shall be waived for applications for Committee review of solar energy devices.
The Association shall have the authority to enforce these provisions in any manner provided by law. Notwithstanding anything contained in these Guidelines, the Declaration, or any other document governing the Association, these Guidelines shall not be enforced in a way that effectively prevents the installation of a solar energy device. If any provision of these guidelines on solar energy devices is ruled invalid, the remainder of these guidelines shall remain in full force and effect. If the Legislature of the State of Arizona modifies A.R.S. § 33-1816 or A.R.S. § 44-1761, the modified laws shall be incorporated into these guidelines as if fully set forth herein
Wind turbines must be approved by the Committee as to appearance and placement.
Pursuant to Sec. 23-5. of Peoria City Code: Obstruction of streets. It is unlawful for any person or entity to install on any city street or sidewalk a traffic control device, barricade or any other item interfering with the movement of vehicular or pedestrian traffic without having first obtained a permit from the City of Peoria.
Homeowners are not permitted to place traffic control devices on any city roadway, sidewalk or thoroughfare.
Children at play signs must be temporary and freestanding and may not be placed so they obstruct the flow of traffic. Play signs may not be placed on the road, gutter, or public sidewalk and may only be present when children are actively at play. The signs must be removed when children are finished playing for the day.
Homeowners wishing to install barricades or other methods for private use of the street (such as in the event of a block party) must contact the City of Peoria.
PARKING It is the intention of the Architectural Committee to keep the streets as clear and safe as possible. Parking on the streets is permitted during the day as long as the vehicle is in an operable condition. Vehicles must be moved from the street to driveways and garages during the hours of 12am and 6am. Recreational vehicles may be in public view only during active loading and unloading up to a maximum of 24 hours.
SUN SCREENS AND WINDOW TINTING
No aluminum material or other reflective material may be installed in windows. Brown or charcoal sun screen material may be installed upon receiving the prior written approval of the Committee. The frame for window screens must match the screen material or existing window frames. Screen doors in the front of the house must be submitted for approval by the Committee.
All landscaping changes that would be Visible From Neighboring Property must receive the prior written approval of the Committee.
All yards visible from the street shall have acceptable landscaping installed within 180 days from close of escrow. It is recommended that backyard landscaping be installed at this time as well since construction access to the back yard is often through the front yard. Owners shall maintain their Lots free of weeds and debris; lawns shall be neatly mowed and trimmed; bushes shall be trimmed; and dead plants, trees, or grass shall be removed and replaced.
In all cases, the installation must comply with City of Peoria drainage and grading requirements.
ASSOCIATION PLANT LIST
The following vegetation types and varieties are prohibited.
1. Olive trees (Olea europaea) other than the “Swan Hill” variety. These trees create considerable pollen which disturbs allergy sufferers. A mature tree produces thousands of olives which drop and create a mess in the landscape.
2. Oleanders (Nerium oleander) other than the dwarf variety and Thevetia (Thevetia Species). Oleanders other than dwarf or thevetia varieties get to such a size and trunk thickness that they are difficult to control on a small lot.
3. Fountain Grass (Pennesethus setaceum) or Pampas Grass (Cortaderia Selloana). Within a very few years, fountain grass and pampass grass build up thatch which makes them extremely difficult to trim back. As a result they are often let go and are unattractive or owners end up removing them. Pampass grass blades are so sharp, they can easily produce sliver cuts.
4. Mexican Palo Verde (Parkinsonia aculeatea). Known for its extreme shedding.
5. All varieties of mulberry trees. Mulberry trees join fruiting olive trees as a major pollen contributor.
All varieties of Citrus are permissible only within the confines of the rear yard.
The City of Peoria currently does not limit the amount of turf on residential lots. However, the Association joins the City in encouraging water conservation. It is recommended that you consider turf installation in areas where it can be used for play, and consider desert landscaping in other areas.
If a homeowner chooses to have Bermuda grass installed, it is up to the homeowner to assure that the lawn is cared for and maintained and the property is free of weeds. It is also suggested that Rye grass be installed during winter months when Bermuda grass is dormant and turns brown.
If decomposed granite or other landscape rock is used, it must be of an “earth tone” and no white, green, blue, red or other bright colors. All rock areas shall be treated with pre-emergent weed control at regular intervals to retard weed growth
A drip irrigation system is strongly encouraged for all landscaped areas, except turf.
FINE GRADING & MOUNDING
Fine grading is a critical aspect of landscaping. Each Lot has been graded such that all storm water will drain away from the house. It is important that this drainage pattern be maintained when preparing the landscape design, especially if mounding or berming is proposed. In all cases, the installation must comply with the City of Peoria grading and drainage plan. Every effort should be made to make the mounding appear natural.
Any additional pavement areas in any form, e.g., concrete, brick, tile, or any wood decks, etc. in the front yard must be approved in advance by the Committee. Any decorative items (including fencing, fountains, statuary, etc.) in the front yard must be approved in advance by the Committee.
. Lighting shall be shielded such that the light shines primarily on the Lot; lights which create glare visible from other Lots are prohibited.
. Light fixtures shall not exceed an illumination intensity of more than one (1) foot candle power as measured from Lot line.
. Outside lights should be screened wherever possible with walls, plant materials, or internal shielding.
AS A REMINDER, ANY ADDITIONS OR IMPROVEMENTS THAT CHANGE THE EXTERIOR OF THE HOME’S APPEARANCE MUST BE APPROVED BY THE ARCHITECTURAL COMMITTEE.
These Architectural Review Committee Guidelines and Landscape Guidelines may be amended by the unanimous vote of the Committee.
CC&R and Architectural Violation and Enforcement
The Board of Directors has the power to impose monetary penalties upon the Owners of Lots for any violations of the Declaration, Guidelines, and the other governing documents of the Association regardless of whether the violation was committed by the owners, their guests, invitees, residents, tenants, occupants, or family members.
The amount of the monetary penalty to be imposed shall be determined in the sole and absolute discretion of the Board based on the nature of the offense, and the number of violations. The monetary penalties shall range from $10.00 per day to a maximum of $500.00 per day.
At any time, as determined in the sole and absolute discretion of the Board, the Association may choose to forego any courtesy or violation letters in favor of other enforcement tools available including but not limited to self-help, immediate action by its legal counsel, etc.
Upon the discovery of a violation, the Board may send a courtesy letter to the Owner(s) informing them of the violation and requesting that it be remedied. If a satisfactory response is not obtained within 10 days, or if the Board elects to forego the courtesy letter, the Board may send a violation letter to the Owner(s) (“Violation Notice”). This Violation Notice shall inform the Owner(s) of the nature of the violation and what must be done to remedy the violation. If the Owner does request a hearing, then the Board will schedule a hearing date and inform the Owner in writing.
If the Owner contests the violation within 10 business days of the Violation Notice, the Board will provide a response to the Owner within 10 business days of receiving a request for a hearing or a notice contesting the violation to include the following information:
1. a date and time for the hearing;
2. the provision(s) of the governing documents that has been violated;
3. the date the violation(s) was observed, and
4. the name of person(s) who observed the violation.
If the Owner does not request a hearing within 10 business days of the Association’s Violation Notice or after any requested hearing, the Board may impose reasonable monetary penalties. These monetary penalties may apply retroactively to the date the violation was observed. For violations which continue, the Board may impose reasonable daily/monthly monetary penalties for each subsequent day/week/month of the violation and such continuing penalties shall continue to accrue until the Owner(s) notifies the Board that the violation has ceased and the Board has confirmed that, this, in fact, is the case.
If the violation ceases but reoccurs again within a 12 month period from the date of the first violation, it will be considered a recurring violation from the prior offense. The Association will send a second Violation Notice which will give the Owner(s) notice of the new occurrence of the same violation and give the owner(s) 10 business days to request a hearing or otherwise respond to the Violation Notice before the fine is imposed. However, the fine may be imposed retroactively to the date that the violation occurred.
All letters referenced herein, unless otherwise stated, shall be sent by regular mail or by hand delivery at the last-known address of the Owner(s).
In the event that the Owner(s) fails to pay a penalty within fifteen days of the requested due date, the Association may deem the penalty delinquent and impose a charge for the late payment of the penalty. The late charge may not exceed the greater of fifteen dollars or ten percent of the amount of the unpaid penalty. In addition, if the Owner(s) refuses to pay the penalty, the Board reserves the right to pursue collection of all outstanding amounts via all legal means available to the Association. In the event that the Association is awarded a judgment against the Owner(s), the Owner(s) will also be responsible for all costs and reasonable attorney’s fees incurred by the Association.
The Board reserves all remedies, including the right to bring an action for injunctive relief.
