SCOTTSDALE COLONY HOMEOWNERS' ASSOCIATION
Rules and Regulations
Dear Scottsdale Colony Owners and Residents:
This booklet is published by the Scottsdale Colony Board
of Directors to acquaint you with the current policies in effect at the
Scottsdale Colony. These rules are for your protection and benefit. A few
minutes spent reading them will be well worth your while.
Patio home living is a new concept for many people, and
to be happy and a good neighbor, the "Golden Rule" is still the best
rule to follow. When you move in to the Colony, you accept the
responsibility to not only live by the Colony's rules, but also to uphold them.
Each member of our community is a vital part of the system.
Along with this responsibility, each resident must
exercise a large measure of cooperation. We share so many things in the
community that we must consider the other members when we do or plan to do
things.
The Board of Directors has regular meetings each month.
Homeowners are invited to attend and bring their suggestions and complaints.
Your ideas' and needs will aid the Board in forming policies in the best
interests of all residents in the future. Call the Management Co. for day and
time.

Liens and Judgements - Homeowners more than
sixty days in arrears of maintenance payments may become subject to legal
proceedings. (See CC&R’s Article 4, Section 1, page 5; Article 5.)
Water and Electricity - Each unit at the Colony
is billed individually by the City of Scottsdale for water and trash pickup.
Each unit is billed individually by the Salt River Project for electricity. The
Association pays for all water used in the pool and common areas and for the
electricity used in these areas.
Exterior Changes - The Scottsdale Colony
Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restriction (CC&R’s) is quite
specific about exterior changes, No exterior changes or additions of any kind
may be made without the prior approval of the Board. All proposed exterior
changes must be submitted to the Board of Directors. The purpose of this rule
is to maintain the architectural integrity of the complex, and if exterior
change violations are noted by the Board of Directors, the Board will request
that they be remedied. (See CC&R’s Article 6; Article 7, Section 4.)
Houses For Sale or For
Rent
- "For Sale" or "For Rent" signs are the only signs
permitted in the common area. They may be no larger than three square feet and
must be placed in the shrubs at the front of the unit being sold or rented, and
not in the yard where they would be in the way of mowers and/or may be a hazard
to anyone walking across the yard. Only one exterior sign is permitted for each
unit that is being advertised, plus one sign in the window. Any signs in excess
of these two will be removed by property management at the request of the Board
of Directors. Signs are not permitted along 78th Street, All signs must be in
windows or common areas
not facing 78th Street.
Renters - Renters, owners and all guests are expected to
observe all policies governing living at the Scottsdale Colony. It is suggested that a
statement of this nature be included in the renters' lease. Landlords are
required to notify the Board or the management company when renters change in
order to keep all up-to-date roster of residents, and thereby assist in
maintaining grounds security. An
Owner leasing their Condominium is responsible for all the actions of their
Tenants. Any lease agreement shall be in writing, for a duration of no less
than thirty (30) days and for the full unit.

Pets -
Residents are urged to walk their pets off the premises. Should pets defecate
on the grounds at the Colony, the owner is responsible for cleaning up the mess
immediately. The "leash law" is in effect in Scottsdale and also here
at the Colony. A dog or cat is not allowed to roam free, regardless of the time
of day or night. Rabies Control will pick up stray animals when given notice.
The number to call is (602) 269-3491. The Board of Directors has authorized a
fine of $250 to match that imposed by code from the City of Scottsdale for
infractions of the leash law and/or not cleaning up after your pet. This fine
will be imposed
on the owner of the unit that is responsible for the pet
violation.
Parking Spaces
- Do not park in carports other than your own without first getting permission
from your neighbor. Boats, campers and commercial vehicles may be parked only
in your carport so long as they are fully contained in the carport space. The
extra parking spaces are for guests on a 24:hour basis. Vehicles blocking
drives, left indefinitely in "extra" parking spaces, or otherwise
parked illegally, will be towed without notice at the Owners expense. All
vehicles must have current license plates and
registration.
“Wheels”(motorcycles, bicycles, skates, skateboards,
roller blades, etc.) - no motorcycles or bicycles are to be ridden on the
grassy areas or the tennis court. No roller skates, roller blades, skateboards,
etc. are allowed in the pool area or on the tennis court.

allowed in the carport.

holidays - pickup days may be amended from time to time by the City of
Scottsdale). Appropriate animal and wind resistant containers should be used.

to cover repairs or replacement. All residents are requested to report

transfer fee in the amount set from time to
time by the
Board of Directors to compensate the Association for the administrative cost resulting
from the transfer of a Lot. The transfer fee is not intended to compensate the
Association for costs incurred in the preparation of the
statement which the Association is required to deliver to a purchaser under ARS § 33-1806A
and, therefore, the transfer fee shall be in addition to the fee which the
Association is entitled to charge pursuant to ARS § 33-1806C.

Colony on January 23, 2012.
