Crossroads Ranch Phase II has CC&Rs, Bylaws, a Property Owners Association, a Board of Directors and an Architectural Control Committee. 

The Board of Directors has the right to

      - promulgate reasonable regulations relating to the matters within its purpose.

The CC&Rs give the Board of Directors broad powers, which it then delegates to officers, committee members, and a management company. Specifically, the Board and Architectural Control Committee (ACC) are given the responsibility of enforcing the CC&Rs, whose purposes include

     - enhancing and protecting the value and desirability of all the Parcels.

The CC&Rs give the Architectural Control Committee the following rights:

The Committee shall have the right to refuse to approve any such plans or specifications which are not suitable or desirable in its opinion

• for aesthetic reasons,
• not in accordance with the overall theme of Crossroads Ranch Phase II,
• or for any other reason, and in so passing upon such plans and specifications.

It shall have the right to take into consideration the 

• suitability of the proposed building or other structure,
  
• the material which is to be used,
• the site upon which it is proposed to be erected,
• the harmony with the surroundings,
• the effect of the proposed structure on the outlook from adjacent or neighboring property.

 If you want the freedom to build anything you want, you won’t find it here. Likewise, if you want to live in a community that only allows certain architectural styles or demands you choose from a palette of four paint colors, then this is not the place for you. Crossroads Ranch II is somewhere in the middle. If you like what you see in our community, it is because of the CC&Rs, the Architectural Guidelines, and all the hard work of previous Board and committee members.

Crossroads Ranch II Handbook

An Unofficial Guide to Our Community’s Rules and Regulations

Draft, November 13, 2024

This handbook is provided by a Crossroads Ranch II resident and is not an official document sanctioned by the Board of Directors or HOAMCO. For official information, go to the HOAMCO website https://hoamco.com/ or contact the Board.

Introduction:

The CC&Rs and Bylaws, along with the Architectural Control Committee (ACC) Guidelines, Resolutions, Policies, and Procedures passed by the Board of Directors, are legally binding Governing Documents that apply to all Crossroads Ranch II property owners, renters, and guests.

All Governing Documents can be found on HOAMCO’s Caliber Portal. They are also posted on the Crossroads Ranch II unofficial website: https://www.crossroadsranch2.org/ but this information may not be up-to-date. Always check the original sources or contact the Board.

Crossroads Ranch II Handbook: An Unofficial Guide to Our Community's Rules and Regulations was created by a resident to:

• Provide an easily accessible, unofficial summary and overview of the governing principles and architectural and aesthetic standards of Crossroads Ranch II

• Facilitate a cohesive vision of our community by promoting an understanding of its governing documents

• Promote compliance with the CC&Rs, Architectural Guidelines, Resolutions, Policies, and Procedures by providing relevant information in one document. References to the source documents are provided throughout the Handbook so that the legal documents can be consulted. (In the event of any contradiction, the legally recorded CC&Rs and Bylaws and the documents on the HOAMCO website take precedence over this Handbook. Use at your own risk.

Crossroads Ranch II Handbook

I. Purpose of the CC&Rs (Reference: CC&Rs, Article 1)

The purpose of these restrictions, covenants, and conditions is to assure the use of the Property for attractive residential and non-commercial farm and ranch purposes only, and securing to each Parcel owner the full benefit and enjoyment of his or her Parcel in furtherance of a common plan.

II. Purpose of the Property Owners Association (Reference: CC&Rs, Article 3)

The purpose of the Association is to maintain the roadway easements as shown on the Results of Survey... and any common property that may be designed, maintain any perimeter fences (but not individual Parcel Owner fences), and act through the Architectural Control Committee in accordance with the provisions of Article 5 of the CC&Rs.

III. Architectural Control Committee (ACC) Powers (Reference: CC&Rs, Article 5)

A. The ACC shall have the right to refuse to approve any such plans or specifications which are not suitable or desirable in its opinion for aesthetic reasons, or not in accordance with the overall theme of Crossroads Ranch Phase II, or for any other reason, and in so passing upon such plans and specifications

B. It shall have the right to take into consideration the suitability of the proposed building or other structure, and the material which is to be used, the site upon which it is proposed to be erected, the harmony with the surroundings, and the effect of the proposed structure on the outlook from adjacent or neighboring property.

C. The Architectural Control Committee (ACC) and Board of Directors (BOD) have worked hard to develop policies and guidelines that are simple and balanced. We have attempted to give property owners as much flexibility as possible in developing their properties while still complying with the CC&R requirements (ACC Guidelines 2024).

IV. Architectural and Design Control (Reference: CC&Rs Article 5)

A. No Parcel leveling, excavation, grading, planting, or landscaping, and no residence, outbuilding, fence, or wall, or other improvement or shall be commenced, erected, placed, or altered on any Parcel, until the plans and specifications therefore, showing the nature, kind, shape, materials, floor plans, and locations shall have been submitted in writing to and approved by the Board, which may assign its duties hereunder to an Architectural Control Committee (Committee), and a copy thereof is finally approved and lodged permanently with the Committee. The Committee shall have the right to refuse to approve any such plans or specifications which are not suitable or desirable in its opinion for aesthetic reasons, or not in accordance with the overall theme of Crossroads Ranch Phase II, or for any other reason, and in so passing upon such plans and specifications, it shall have the right to take into consideration the suitability of the proposed building or other structure, and the material which is to be used, the site upon which it is proposed to be erected, the harmony with the surroundings, and the effect of the proposed structure on the outlook from adjacent or neighboring property. All plans must comply with Yavapai County requirements.

B. Procedure. The Committee's approval or disapproval as required in this Declaration shall be in writing. Actions of the Committee shall be by the majority vote of the members of the Committee. All decisions of the Committee shall be final and no Parcel Owner or other party shall have recourse against the Committee or its designated representatives, or its members, for its disapproval or refusal to approve. In the event the Committee or its designated representative fails to approve or disapprove within thirty (30) days after the plans and specifications have been submitted to it, the plans and specifications shall be deemed to have been approved. Provided, however, the plans shall not be considered to be delivered to the Committee until they are complete in every respect and have been submitted together with every item of additional information, material samples, or more specific plan, details as requested in writing by the Committee. With every request for approval of an improvement, the Owner shall include a document review fee payable to the Board, which fee is initially set at $75.

C. Indemnity. Each Owner who submits a request for approval of an improvement or alteration shall indemnify, defend, and hold the Declarant, the Association, the Committee, their officers, directors, shareholders, and Members harmless for, from, and against all costs, claims, or charges arising from the submission of the request, any action taken on the request, and from the construction of the improvements, or the implementation of an alteration.

V. General Restrictions Applicable to All Parcels: Land Use (Reference: CC&Rs, Article 6)

A. No building other than one single-family dwelling residence and a private garage, a guest house or servants’ quarters, and other outbuildings as approved by the Committee, and as are in compliance with applicable zoning, shall be erected, maintained, placed, or permitted on any Parcel.

B. No improvements may be commenced without the appropriate building permits having been first obtained.

C. Leases. An Owner may not (i) lease less than his entire Parcel; (ii) lease for a period of less than thirty days; (iii) enter into an oral lease; or (iv) exempt the tenant from the terms of this Declaration. Failure by the tenant (or sub-tenant) to comply with this Declaration is a default under the lease. Upon leasing his Parcel, an Owner shall promptly notify the Association of the commencement date and termination date of the lease and the names and telephone numbers of each person who will be occupying the Parcel.

D. Business use: No manufacturing or commercial enterprise shall be maintained or conducted upon, in front of, or in connection with any Parcel. However, home offices, and other appropriate, casual, and non-intrusive business uses may be permitted upon the specific written consent of the Committee.

Members engaging in business or commercial activity meeting the following criteria are deemed to have specific written consent to engage in such activity (Reference: Resolution 2022-4 Business Use):

1. All such activity is conducted within the primary dwelling or in an approved attached or detached accessory structure, such as a garage, workshop, storage shed or barn;

2. No structure within which such activity is conducted may have its appearance altered such that it is recognizable as serving a non-residential use or purpose (either by color, materials, construction, lighting, signs, etc.)

3. The activity does not cause any sustained or unpleasant noises, vibrations, noxious fumes, dust or odors or any other environmental emission that unreasonably interferes with the right of other members to the peaceful, quiet enjoyment of their property;

4. All storage of materials, supplies or inventory are within the primary structure or an approved enclosed accessory structure or adequately screened so as to be concealed from view from adjacent roads and properties;

5. The activity does not involve or rely upon delivery of materials by vehicles of a nature or frequency that is beyond that normally expected in an R1L residential zone;

6. The activity does not involve regular or frequent on-site visitation by persons who are seeking to obtain the product or services associated with such activity (i.e., customers, clients, patrons, etc.) or from whom the Member is seeking products or services associated with such activity;

7. Any vehicle clearly identified as a commercial vehicle that is associated with such activity is parked within an approved, enclosed accessory structure or adequately screened so as to be concealed from view from the roads or neighboring properties; No more than two such vehicles may be kept on-site;

E. Agriculture and Mineral Exploration.

The raising of agricultural crops for personal use is allowed; all commercial agricultural use is prohibited. No noxious or offensive crops or weeds are permitted. All agricultural use shall be performed in accordance with good farmer-like practices.

No portion of the Property may be used to explore for or to remove any oil or other hydrocarbons, gold, silver, minerals of any kind, gravel, earth, or other earth substance of any kind.

F. Public Events. No public events shall be held on any Parcel.

G. Livestock, Poultry and Domestic Animals. (Reference: CC&Rs Amendment July 21, 2006) Horses, cattle, and domestic animals are allowed to be kept on the Property in reasonable numbers. The casual breeding of animals for profit is permitted. The commercial raising of livestock is not permitted. The Architectural Control Committee, in its sole discretion, shall decide which uses are casual and which are commercial and, may in its exclusive discretion, make exception to this provision. A written opinion can be obtained from the Committee as to any proposed use which may be questionable. All livestock, poultry, and domestic animals shall be maintained so as to avoid creation of a hazard or nuisance to owners of other Parcels. Dogs shall be kept within fenced areas or held on leashes, or under the owner’s control. No pigs, ostriches, fighting chickens, pit bull dogs, or wild animals of any kind are permitted. All livestock and poultry shall be confirmed within a fenced area, and all fences for any livestock or animals shall be constructed of new material or the equivalent and be of such height and strength as to adequately contain all permitted livestock or animals. All areas maintained for livestock and poultry shall at all times be kept clean and odor free, with all manure removed on a regular basis.

H. Parking, Storage, and Repairs.

1. Boats, boat trailers, camping trailers, campers, travel trailers, or any other recreational vehicles, sporting or camping equipment shall not be stored or parked within 100 feet of a Crossroads Ranch parcel boundary lines and not within 40 feet of a Valley View Estates Parcel boundary lines and not adjacent to or on the roads of Crossroads Ranch and Valley View Estates.

2. No repairs, rebuilding, or maintenance work shall be performed on any motor vehicle, travel trailer, boat, boat trailer, camper, or other piece of equipment outside of a garage or a screened area on any Parcel and under no condition on any road. None of the above shall be allowed to be abandoned on any Parcel. No parking shall be allowed on any road.

I. Protective Screening. All clotheslines, equipment, propane tanks, service yards, wood piles, and storage areas shall be kept screened by adequate planting or fencing so as to conceal them from view of neighboring Parcels or streets. No laundering will be permitted except inside an approved structure with approved plumbing.

J. Management of Horse Manure (Resolution 2023-2

1. Responsible disbursement of horse manure by spreading does not by itself constitute a nuisance as that term is used in CC&Rs

2. To constitute a violation under CC&R 960), any alleged nuisance must be shown to be unreasonable, substantial and cause significant harm, taking into consideration the locality and purpose of the Ranch and the normal and ordinary expectations with respect for living in such a community

VI. Construction of Main Residence (Reference: CC&Rs, Article 6)

A. Minimum Sizes. Any primary residential structure shall contain a minimum of 1,500 square feet of living area, exclusive of carport, garage, open porches, and patio. The first residence built on a property must have a minimum of 1500 square feet (Resolution 2023-5).

B. Completion Time. Construction of a residence shall be finished and completed no later than 1 year after the issuance of a building permit by the appropriate regulatory body, with any approved barn or shed being completed within 6 months of the permit.

C. Garages. Each residence shall contain an enclosed garage for at least two automobiles. The garage can either be attached to or detached from the main structure. All detached garages must be visually integrated with the main residence.

D. Location and Setbacks. No dwelling or other building improvement shall be erected or placed on any Parcel nearer than 100 feet to any boundary line, and within Valley View Estates nearer than 40 feet to any boundary line, unless approved in writing by the Architectural Control Committee. It is understood that the above set-back lines and all other use restrictions contained in this Declaration are in addition to zoning and other land use regulations adopted by governmental authorities and the more restrictive must be followed. Property boundary, for the purpose of measuring setbacks, is defined as the center of the road.

E. Structure Paint and Exterior Finish Guidelines. Below are the summary highlights for your structure paint selection. All painting and repainting must be approved by the ACC prior to commencing (ACC Guidelines 2024).

1. Any changes after approval must be re-submitted to the ACC (there is no additional fee)

2. Generally acceptable colors are Earth Tones such as tans, browns, siennas, grays, greens, darker off-whites and beiges

3. The Light Reflective Value (LRV) must be less than or equal to 50%

4. The goal is to harmonize exteriors with the parcel environment and blend with terrain

5. Consideration should be given to the effect on the view from neighboring properties

6. The effect of the proposed structure on the outlook from adjacent or neighboring property

7. Definitions: Earth tones are colors that are inspired by natural materials and landscapes, and can include tans, browns, sienna, grays, greens, darker off-whites, and beiges. They can also refer to colors that contain some brownish hue that resembles the color of earth or soil. For our environment the darker shades of these colors blend in most seamlessly.

F. Paint and Exterior Finish Requirements

1. The primary exterior color of buildings and structures shall be limited to earth tone colors that are in harmony with the theme of the ranch and the surroundings. This includes paints, stains, and stucco. The Light Reflective Value (LRV) for the main body finish must be less than or equal to 50%. 2.

2. Contrasting materials, textures, and colors may be used to add emphasis to entry areas and significant architectural features, but must relate to the architectural form and character of the residence. These accent colors shall be limited to moldings, doors, window frames, fascia, shutters, and cornices. The Light Reflective Value (LRV) for accent colors must be less than or equal to 75%.

3. All repainting of existing homes and structures must be submitted to the Committee (ACC) for approval, prior to commencing painting. If the existing/previous color on an existing residence or structure is outside of the current approvable color or LRV range, when repainting we require you to select an option within the acceptable color/LRV range. There will be no charge for an ACC review related to repainting or change of paint colors.

4. The ACC shall have the right but not obligation to review and approve an application outside the above parameters if the request is determined to be visually acceptable for the surroundings and style. The ACC shall work with Members during the initial 30-day period to develop and approve building plans. If at the end of this initial period the project is denied, the Member may resubmit to the ACC a revised plan for review at no charge.

G. Roof Reflectivity Guidelines

1. Below are the summary highlights for your home roof color selection. All structure roofing or re-roofing must be approved by the ACC prior to commencing

2. Any changes after approval must be re-submitted to the ACC (there is no additional fee)

3. No bright or untarnished metallic roofs are permitted

4. The Light Reflective Value (LRV) must be less than or equal to 40% for metallic and tile. roofs. No-gloss or low-gloss coating required.

5. These requirements do not apply to roof-top solar panels

6. The Board of Directors and Architectural Control Committee have adopted a standard of less than or equal to 40% LRV for metal roofs in order to comply with the CC&R prohibition on reflective roofs (CCR¶6C .... No reflective roofs shall be allowed....) As all materials will reflect to a greater or lesser amount, and in addition to complying with the LRV standard, we urge all Members to select a building site to minimize the reflective impact of their building on neighboring parcels.

7. Bright, untarnished copper, or other metallic surfaces will not be allowed unless treated to reduce reflection to the required LRV.

8. The Light Reflective Value (LRV) for metallic roofs will be less than or equal to 40%. The LRV of a color is available from manufacturers and it measures the amount of light reflected by a certain color. Colors should also be chosen to “harmonize with the surroundings.” Non- metallic roofs including tile and asphalt should be of darker colors. White roofing is not permitted.

9. Gloss also affects reflectivity by creating glare. We strongly urge the lowest (least shiny) coating available if it is needed.

10. All reroofing must be submitted to the ACC for approval, prior to commencing. If the existing/previous color or LRV on a roof is outside of the approvable color or LRV range, when reroofing the Committee will require you to select an option within the acceptable color/LRV range. There will be no charge for the Committee review related to changes of roofing materials and color.

VII. Guest Houses [Main Residence Requirements from Article VI, Sections B, D, and E also apply to Guest Houses.]

A. Any guest house, which may include a kitchen, or servants’ quarters, shall be for the use of bona fide guests or servants, as the case may be, or the occupants of the main residence, or members of such occupant’s family, and shall not be rented or leased separate from the main residence.

B. The first residence built on a property must have a minimum of 1500 square feet (Resolution 2023-5).

VIII. Lighting (Reference: Architectural Guidelines 2024)

A. Site lighting means lighting mounted either on the ground, in trees, or on-site the purpose of providing security or decorative accent lighting.

B. The philosophy of the Association is to support the general rural character of the area and create a "dark sky" in the evening and conform to the Yavapai County “Dark Sky Ordinance”

C. Building-mounted lighting means lighting built into or attached to buildings either on walls, ceilings, eaves, or fascia for the purpose of providing general illumination, area illumination or security illumination

D. Security lighting means lighting intended to provide bright general illumination of the area adjacent to a residence during emergency situations only. Site lighting must be directed onto vegetation or prominent site features such as boulders.

E. Building-mounted lighting must be directed downward away from adjacent lots, street, and open spaces and may not be used to light walls or building elements for decorative purposes.

F. All exterior lighting must provide for significant shielding of light sources.

G. Only lamps with a maximum wattage of 75 watts will be allowed unless express approval is received from the Committee.

H. Security lighting, which by its nature is bright and of general nature, will be permitted only with the understanding that it will only be used in emergencies.

I. Lighting used for conducting outside work or for an outdoor recreational facility must be directed downward away from adjacent lots, street, and open spaces. This lighting must be turned off by 9:00 PM.

Note: Yavapai County has a Dark Sky Ordinance: https://yavapaiaz.gov/Portals/0/OrdinancesRegulations/Ordina...

IX. Culverts. If requested, the Road Committee will review proposals for driveways and culverts./

A. The property owner is responsible for determining the need for a culvert and sizing the

culvert. Resources available to assist the property owner include their general contractor, their excavation contractor and their professional engineer.

1. The culvert and driveway should be shown and defined on the site plan.

2. A culvert, if needed, must be sized and installed in a manner that manages the

maximum water flow in the ditch such that no damage is incurred to the

Association roadway and road base.

3. Based on experience, it is recommended that a culvert no less than 16” diameter

be used. This facilitates cleaning, if necessary, at a small increase in material

cost relative to a smaller diameter culvert.

4. To minimize dirt restricting culverts, design guidelines recommend a 3% grade

in the installed culvert. This equates to 3.6” of drop per 10’ of culvert length.

5. It is recognized that depending on the topography and existing ditch

construction it may not be practical to meet a 3% grade for all culverts.

6. Lining the ditch with riprap for at least 8’ upstream of the culvert entrance

is recommended to reduce cleaning requirements.

7. Maintenance and repair of all culverts installed for driveways is the

responsibility of the property owner. This includes culverts for shared driveways

assigned street names by the county.

8. Considerations when installing a culvert include but are not limited to –

a. Length

b. Diameter

c. Installed slope or gradient for proper drainage

d. Distance from the road edge

e. Access for cleaning/flushing dirt to maintain water flow

f. Erosion mitigation measures of adjacent soil (rock, vegetation, etc)

X. Driveways-

A. Dimensions – These requirements facilitate ease of ingress/egress of large vehicles,

vehicles pulling trailers, etc. without excessive damage to the roadway from driving off

the opposite side of the chip seal surface (swinging wide), driving through ditches,

driving over the end of culverts or tandem axle vehicles shearing the chip seal road

surface when making tight radius turns.

1. The driveway at the interface to the association roadway should be a minimum of 30' wide tapering to a minimum of 12' wide a distance of 30' from the edge of the Association roadway.

2. If desired the driveway may be angled 45-60 degrees from the association roadway (rather than the typical 90 degrees or perpendicular) in the primary direction of ingress/egress (most properties will have a primary direction of ingress/egress).

B. Guidelines for Fire Equipment and Construction Equipment Access-

1. Where any point of a building is greater than 150’ from a road, a driveway should

i. be provided to within 150’ of the building.

2. Where a driveway is greater than 150’ in length, it should not be less than 12’ in

3. unobstructed width with 13.5’ vertical clearance.

4. Where a driveway is greater than 300’ in length, it should be provided with

5. turnouts or turnarounds (check with Williamson Valley Fire Department for dimensions).

C. Surface –

1. Track out rock (rock that is angular in shape in a size greater than 2”) is not permitted within 30’ of the association roadway. ABC (aggregate base course) is suggested.

2. Track out rock ends up on the chip seal road surface. When run over by heavy vehicles (i.e. garbage trucks), the rock can puncture the surface of our chip seal roadways.

D. Grading/Drainage

1. All driveways must be graded appropriately approaching the Association roadway (grade/slope, crown or side slope, ditch adjacent to driveway, etc) such that water and material sheeting off the driveway does not wash into the Association roadway.

2. Grading considerations include but are not limited to-

a. Grade or slope at the Association roadway

b. Crown of the driveway

c. Side slope of the driveway

d. Possible ditch requirements along the driveway

3. Paved driveways must also meet the above requirements. Proper drainage reduces the volume of water absorbed through the Association roadway which softens the road base damaging the chip seal surface.

XI. Gates-

A. Any gate on a driveway should be located a minimum of 30’ from the closest edge of the association road.

B. The gate opening should swing inward and provide a clear opening of no less than

2’ wider than the gated driveway.

C. Emergency responders should have ready access to locking mechanisms and

keypad codes on any gate that restricts access.

D. Infrastructure – All infrastructures (including but not limited to: driveways, culverts and topography changes) placed in the easement by the property owner are the sole responsibility to be maintained by the property owner. All other ditches and other easement drainages of the association roads are the responsibility of the Association to maintain.

XII. Fencing Guidelines

A. All fences must be located inside the easements.

B. Fencing of equestrian and other easements is prohibited unless unlockable gates are provided.

C. All fencing color must be in harmony with the natural landscape.

D. Gates will be approved in conjunction with fencing applications. Gate opening devices

will be approved in conjunction with gate and fencing applications. Manual, electric and solar openers do not require a separate application.

E. The above guidelines are in addition to zoning and other land use regulations adopted by governmental authorities and the more restrictive must be followed.

F. For informational purposes only – If you desire to have wildlife continue to roam freely,

please be aware that pronghorn antelope require a non-barbed wire with a minimum ground clearance of approximately 18 inches. Antelope do not jump fences, they crawl under.

Note: Barbed wire is also extremely hazardous for horses.

XIII. Cargo Containers (Reference: Resolutions 2022-5 and 2023-1 Cargo Containers)

A. The Board hereby finds that permanent installation of cargo containers as an accessory structure are of a nature that is unsuited to the Ranch and undesirable for aesthetic reasons, not in accord with the overall theme and nature of Crossroads Ranch Phase II, nor in harmony with the surroundings, and would adversely affect the outlook from adjacent or neighboring property. Moreover, permanent placement/installation of a cargo container as an accessory structure, for any purpose, is contrary to the Section 5 requirement that all such placement/installations comply with Yavapai County Zoning requirements.

B. In light of these findings, the Board directs that the Architectural Control Committee shall not approve any plans or specifications submitted by a member that include or incorporate permanent placement/installation of a cargo container on any Parcel, regardless of configuration or purpose.

C. The Board further directs that the only installation/placement of a cargo container on any Parcel deemed acceptable shall be the temporary placement/installation of a cargo container that is administratively approved in advance by the Department as a construction shed in conjunction with construction of the initial dwelling, whether that initial dwelling is the primary residence or a guest house, the duration of which shall not exceed the earlier of 24-months from the date of the issuance of the construction permit for the dwelling or the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy for the dwelling in question; provided, however, that in the event an extension of the one-year time limit for completing construction of a dwelling as provided in Declaration Section 6(B) is not granted, the maximum time that a container may remain on a Parcel as a temporary construction shed shall be one year from the date of the issuance of the construction permit by the County; and provided further, that where the Department administratively approves the temporary installation/placement of a cargo container as a construction shed for construction of a second/subsequent dwelling on the Parcel, whether a primary residence or guest house, the temporal duration of such placement/installation shall be the same as specified in this paragraph as applicable to an initial dwelling.

D. A cargo container allowed as a temporary construction shed must be removed from the Parcel within 30-days after expiration of the applicable temporary duration.

XIV. Providing Utilities Across the Road (Reference: Architectural Guidelines 2024)

A. Should it be necessary to come across the road to provide utilities to your building site, we require that you bore under the road at the appropriate depth so as not to disturb the chip-sealed road surface.

B. Before construction starts an appropriate sized culvert must be installed and an apron to meet the chip-sealed road, which will prevent the breakup of the association roadway edge. All new construction must have a licensed engineering study performed and provided to the ACC for all infrastructures (including, but not limited to: driveways, culverts, and topography changes. (Reference: Architectural Guidelines 2024)

C. Repair due to deterioration of the road edge is the responsibility of the property owner.

D. For Roads Not Chip Sealed: Should it be necessary to trench across the road to provide utilities to your building site, we require the backfilled trench to be compacted and topped with AB material. The road surface should be in the same condition after trenching as before.

XV. Water Supply and Individual Sewage Systems (Reference: Architectural Guidelines 2024)

A. Individual sewage disposable systems to serve the Parcel shall be permitted on the Parcel. All individual sewage systems shall be constructed to Yavapai County Health Department standards. No individual sewage disposable system shall be installed within 100 feet of any property line. No sewage disposable system shall be installed without first obtaining the Health Department Sewage Disposal Permit. All sewage systems shall be kept as not to disturb surrounding neighbors and Property with offensive odors and sights, and located so as to minimize grading and disturbance to existing vegetation. Individual domestic wells must be installed in compliance with the rules and regulations of the Arizona Department of Water Resources and local regulatory agencies.

XVI. Antennas and Generators. (Reference: Architectural Guidelines 2024)

A. No antenna, satellite dish, or power generators shall be installed in a manner that will disturb the surrounding neighbors and/or Property. The placement of any antenna, satellite dish, or power generator must have Architectural Control Committee approval before it is placed on the Parcel. The Architectural Control Committee shall have the final decision on a dispute regarding a Parcel Owner's antenna, satellite dish, or power generator and what effect it has on the surrounding neighbors.

XVII. Signs (Reference: CC&Rs, Article 6; Architectural Guidelines 2024)

A. Signs (including, but not limited to, For Sale or For Rent signs) are not permitted on the Property without the prior written approval of the Board; provided, however, that an unlighted, neatly painted Sale or For Rent sign not to exceed ‘2' by 2' in size may be placed on the Parcel after the expiration of the Period of Declarant Control. None of the sign restrictions in the Declaration apply to the Declarant for the purpose of selling the Parcels pursuant to a Public Report issued by the State of Arizona.

B. No Trespassing Signs (Reference: Architectural Guidelines 2024) Landowners who desire to prohibit trespassing on their lands may not post “No Trespassing” signs without prior written approval of the Board.

XXIV. Parcel Splits (Reference: Architectural Guidelines 2024)

A. No Parcel shall be divided smaller than allowed by applicable governmental regulations and ordinances, but in no event shall a Parcel within Crossroads Ranch be created which is smaller than 8 acres in size. With regard to Valley View Estates, no Parcel shall be created that is smaller than 2.75 acres in size. Further, no original Parcel in Crossroads Ranch shall be divided into more than 3 Parcels. No original Parcel in Valley View Estates shall be divided into more than 5 Parcels

B. Parcel Split Procedure. Each original parcel may be split into a maximum of three (3) sub-parcels for Crossroads Ranch Phases 2-5 and five (5) sub-parcels for Valley View Estates with no split parcel being smaller in size than eight (8) acres for Crossroads Ranch Phases 2-5 and two and three quarters acres (2.75) for Valley View Estates. If a parcel owner desires to split his/her property in accordance with the CC&Rs, the following are the steps to follow:

1. Submit a written request to the Architectural Control Committee with at least a hand drawn sketch showing the proposed split with approximate acreage and property line dimensions per sub-parcel. See fee schedule. The Architectural Control Committee will verify that the proposed split complies with the CC&Rs and notify the parcel owner to that effect.

2. If the owner of an original parcel requests a split into less than the maximum allowed, then the owner of the original parcel MUST specify in writing to the ACC at the time of the spilt request which of the sub-parcels has the remaining split right(s). The ACC will not approve any request for a split of an original parcel into less then maximum sub-parcels without this written documentation of the remaining split right(s)

3. The owner is required to have the parcel splits surveyed and submit survey map, parcel legal descriptions and the fee before the ACC will grant split approval. NOTE: Please label the split parcels with the extension A, B, C, etc.

4. Once the split approval is granted, the owner can sell the split parcels. The split will only be acknowledged by Yavapai County when a deed is recorded either with the sale of a split or the re-deeding the separate splits by the property owner. NOTE: The property owners’ annual assessments will be charged based on the deeds recorded with the County Recorder.

5. Upon completion of step 4, provide a copy of the deeds to the Board of Directors Secretary showing this step has been completed.

NOTE: For original parcels split into less than maximum sub-parcels before this policy was adopted (prior to September 1, 2006) and with no direction from the original parcel owner, the remaining split right(s) has to be agreed on by the remaining sub-parcel owners. The ACC will not approve additional split(s) of such properties without a written agreement signed by all existing sub-parcel owners.

XXV. Assessments (Reference: CC&Rs Article 3)

A. Each owner shall be responsible to pay the regular assessment commencing on the first day of the month following the date of recordation of the deed wherein the Owner acquired legal, beneficial, or equitable title to the Parcel.

B. The assessment will vary by Parcel size and by whether the property is improved or unimproved. Improved will be defined as a property which has obtained a building permit for a dwelling and the change in assessment will occur when the permit is issued. Prorations will occur as of the first day of the calendar month following the issuance of the permit. The assessments are in dollars per acre per year and are subject to change by the Association. The assessments shall be as follows:

# Acres      Improved      Unimproved

2.75 – 8      $99.34          $69.53

8-20           $89.40          $59.59

20-30         $79.45          $49.67

30+            $59.59           $39.74

(THESE FIGURES ARE DOLLARS PER ACRE PER YEAR)

C. Written notice of the assessment shall be sent to every, Owner. The payment due date shall be established by the Association.

XXVI. Enforcement. (Reference: CC&Rs Article 9; Enforcement Procedure and Schedule of Penalties)

This Enforcement Procedure applies to all Crossroads Ranch Phase II Property Owners Association, Inc. (“Association”) community documents, including the Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws, Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions, inclusive of all current and future amendments, and to all associated Policies, Procedures and Resolutions adopted thereto (collectively referred to herein as the “Community Documents”).

The purposes of this Enforcement Procedure is to guard against the collective diminution of property value where violations of Community Documents which create certain community expectations go unchecked and to protect and preserve to all members the quiet peaceful enjoyment of their property consistent with the theme of the Association as an upscale community where structures, landscaping and member conduct are in harmony with each other and with the surrounding environment and terrain and do not adversely impact the outlook or atmosphere of adjacent or neighboring properties or the character of the community as a whole and to maintain, vindicate and preserve the Association’s Board of Director’s (“Board’s) authority to enforce the Community Documents.

In furtherance of these purposes, where the Board has determined that a member has violated one or more provisions of the Community Documents, the Board and/or its designated representatives (hereinafter collectively, the “Board”) shall apply the following procedure:

1. Notice of Violation (“Notice”):

a. Issue or cause to be issued a Notice to the offending member[s], either personally delivered or sent by United States mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, addressed to the member at the address placed on file by the member with the Association. A separate Notice should be issued for each distinct violation.

b. Each Notice shall contain at least the following information:

i. A statement that the Board has determined that the member is in violation of the Community Documents, with specific reference to the provision that has allegedly been violated. To the extent feasible, the specific implicated provision itself should be recited within the Notice;

ii. The date of the violation or the date the violation was observed;

iii. The first and last name of the person or persons who observed the violation;

iv. The process the member must follow to contest the Notice; and

v. That if the violation remains uncorrected and fines unpaid, the Association may bring a lawsuit seeking a personal judgment against the member to require the performance of the referenced action, for payment of all fines, for the Association’s attorney fees and costs, and for any other relief to which the Association may be entitled.

2. Process to contest the Notice: Where applicable, the following statements must be included in the Notice:

a. If a monetary penalty has been immediately assigned, it must be described as “provisional” and that it will not be assessed against the member’s account until after the member has had an opportunity to be heard;

b. A description of the action the member is required to take, such as remove an unapproved structure, repaint with an approved color, submit plans for approval, etc., in order to correct the violation and the time within which such action must be taken to avoid imposition of or additional penalties. Absent special circumstances, the member should be granted thirty-days to comply/correct the violation. Where special circumstances exist to increase or decrease the time allowed for correction, those special circumstances should be recited in the Notice;

c. That the member may provide the Association with a written response by sending the response by certified mail within twenty-one calendar days after the date of the Notice and that within this response the member may:

i. Provide whatever information the member deems appropriate under the circumstances regarding the alleged violation;

ii. Request a hearing before the Board in which the member may appear in person or through a representative and present pertinent information in support of the member’s position;

iii. Request that any hearing be conducted at an open meeting that may be attended by any other Association member;

d. That at any time before or after completion of the exchange of information as described, the member may petition for a hearing pursuant to Ariz. Rev. Stat. § 32-2199.01 if the dispute is within the jurisdiction of the state real estate department as prescribed in Ariz. Rev. Stat. § 32-2199.01.

3. Association Reply to Member Response: If the member provides a written response within the twenty-one-day response period, the Board shall cause a Reply to be issued within ten business days, either personally delivered or sent by United States mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, addressed to the member at the address placed on file by the member with the Association. The Reply must include the following information, as applicable:

a. If the member has contested the Notice, state the Board’s final determination, including, without limitation, whether based on the information provided in the member’s response the Board has decided to affirm or vacate its initial determination, grant a variance, or stay enforcement pending further investigation;

b. If the member requested a hearing, whether closed session or open meeting, the date, time and place that the hearing will be held. If it is not feasible to determine a date, time and place within the ten business-day reply period, the reply must include a commitment to provide such information when it is available and that Board’s determination will not be final until after such hearing has taken place.

4. No Member Response: If the member does not provide a response as contemplated in Section 2(c), then the Association shall deem its initial determination final as detailed in the Notice of Violation, apply any provisional penalties against the member and take whatever additional action the Association deems necessary or appropriate under the circumstances that are consistent with Arizona law and this Enforcement Procedure.

Schedule of Monetary Penalties

Pursuant to Ariz. Stat. § 33-1803, for violation of provisions of the Community Documents the Board may impose reasonable monetary penalties according to the schedule below. Penalties thus imposed are intended not to compensate the Association or its members for actual damages or loss, which although real and material are difficult to ascertain and not easily susceptible to proof with the degree of certainty otherwise required by law. Rather, the imposition of penalties is intended to encourage compliance through voluntary cooperation and to deter intentional, deliberate, and knowing disregard for the restrictions and obligations contained within the Community Documents, which if left unchecked would serve to deprive the membership as a whole of the nature, character and atmosphere of the Association community to which they are entitled.

The following schedule is advisory only. The Board is not required to impose a monetary penalty for every violation and the Board may vary the amount of the penalty based on particularized circumstances where reasonably justified to achieve the purposes, goals and intent of this Enforcement Procedure:

1. In no event will a penalty be effective or assessed against a member account until after the member has had an opportunity to be heard as contemplated in this Enforcement Procedure;

2. Absent special circumstances, a monetary penalty ordinarily will not be imposed until after the member has been given an opportunity to voluntarily correct the condition or behavior that occasioned the Notice; provided, however, an immediate imposition of a penalty is appropriate where the violation surrounding circumstances demonstrate the member’s disregard or disdain for his/her obligations under the Community Documents, such as engaging in repeat or multiple violations; knowingly and willfully violating a rule or restriction; being uncooperative or deceitful during a Board’s inquiry into a possible violation; engaging in discourteous behavior toward members of the Board as they attempt to fulfill their obligations to enforce Community Documents, or other articulable circumstances indicating that immediate imposition of a penalty is warranted. Where the Board determines that immediate imposition of a penalty is warranted, the basis for that determination shall be included in the Notice;

3. Penalty progression: The purpose of a progressive penalty is to encourage prompt attention to and correction of a violative condition by progressively increasing the severity of the penalty the longer it remains uncorrected.

a. The initial penalty is $250;

b. If the violation is not corrected within thirty-days, a second penalty of $750 may be imposed;

c. If the violation remains uncorrected thirty-days after imposition of the second penalty, a third penalty of $500 may be imposed, with an additional $500 penalty imposed for each thirty-days thereafter in which the violation remains uncorrected, up to a cumulative maximum of $5,000 per year;

d. Where a progressive penalty has been imposed, a statement describing the progressive nature of the penalty, the interval and associated amounts, and that it will continue automatically and without further notice must be included in the Notice reflecting the penalty;

e. Where the Board imposes a penalty in an amount greater than as set forth in this schedule the basis for that determination shall be included in the Notice;

f. Where the Board initially does not impose a monetary penalty but later determines that the member’s post-Notice conduct reflects an unwillingness to cooperate or correct the violation, the Board may issue a subsequent notice advising the member of the imposition of a monetary penalty and its amount; provided, however, that such post Notice imposition of a penalty may not be retroactive and the member must be provided an opportunity to contest the post-Notice imposition of a penalty as provided in this procedure;

4. Legal Action: At any time after issuing a Notice as contemplated by this Enforcement Procedure, the Association may pursue a legal action to enforce the Community Documents. Where the Association substantially prevails in its legal claim to enforce the Community Documents, whether by capitulation, summary judgment, trial or settlement, the Association shall be entitled to reimbursement from the member of the Association’s attorney fees and costs incurred in pursuing the claim as an element of damages in the litigation.

XXVII. NUISANCE DEFINITION & POLICY (Reference: CC&Rs Article 6; Nuisance Policy Adopted July 18, 2008)

Nuisances. No Parcel Owner shall place or maintain any animate or inanimate object upon any Parcel so as to create a nuisance to the Owners of the neighboring Parcels. No vehicles or motors of any type without mufflers shall be allowed. No all-terrain type vehicles or off-road motorcycles shall be operated, except within the confine of the Owner’s individual Parcel. No firearms may be discharged in any area of the Property. (Reference: CC&Rs, Article 6)

LEGAL DEFINITION OF NUISANCE (Nuisance Policy Adopted July 18, ,2008)

Under the common law, persons in possession of real property (either land owners or tenants) are entitled to the quiet enjoyment of their lands. If a neighbor interferes with that quiet enjoyment, either by creating smells, sounds, pollution or any other hazard that extends past the boundaries of the property, the affected party may make a claim of nuisance.

To be a nuisance, the level of interference must rise above the merely aesthetic. For example, if your neighbor paints their house a color you don’t like but has been approved by the ACC, it may offend you, but it does not rise to the level of nuisance. In most cases, normal uses of a property that can constitute quiet enjoyment cannot be restrained in nuisance either. For example, the sound of a crying baby may be annoying, but it is an expected part of quiet enjoyment of property and does not constitute a nuisance.

NUISANCE DETERMINATION POLICY

For a nuisance to be identified and determined a nuisance in which the Board can ultimately fine the property owner if not resolved, the following steps should take place.

1. The Property Owner that believes that their right of quiet enjoyment of their property has been violated and they have not been able to resolve the issue with the offending party in a manner that they are comfortable with, they must file a written complaint with the Board of Directors.

2. The offended Property Owner should note dates, times and durations that the offence is occurring and provide that information to the Board of Directors. Pictures and additional witnesses could also help.

3. The Board of Directors will contact the property owners of the property that the offending behavior is happening on and asked the activity be stopped.

4. If the property owner where the offending behavior is happening contests the violation believing that the activity is normal use, then the Board of Directors will make a ruling as to whether the activity is normal or nuisance.

5. If the Board of Directors defines the activity as nuisance and the activity is not curtailed to normal acceptable activity, then the Board of Directors can incorporate fines to bring into compliance with the CC&Rs.

XXVIII. Outbuilding Approvals

1. The Committee shall not approve any application for installation, erection or placement of an outbuilding on a member's parcel unless and until a permit has issued for the construction of a primary residence, with the sole exception being a Well House of less than 200 square feet that meets the definition set forth in County Ordinance $301 as to purpose and use;

2. With respect to an application for a Well House meeting the above exception, any approval must nevertheless be in compliance with all other CC&R requirements as applicable to any other outbuilding, including, without limitation, those set forth in Declarations Paragraphs 5&6.

Appendix E: Owner Requirements During Building of an Outlying Structure

The term “outlying structure” includes all outbuildings or accessory structures, whether attached or detached from the principle residence, including, without limitation, garages, shops, sheds, barns, utility buildings, etcetera.

Make sure that your Builder has a copy these requirements and enforces them with their subcontractors and suppliers who come on site:

• Once received, send a copy of your building Permit from Yavapai County to the Architectural Control Committee (ACC) Chairperson. This will establish the start date of your construction project.
• Your outbuilding or other improvement or Installation shall be finished and completed no later than six (6) months after the issuance of the building permit by Yavapai County.
• Construction debris must be controlled and placed in an appropriate on-site container that must be on-site at the commencement of and throughout construction and must be removed as soon as possible after construction is completed.
• The speed limit on Crossroads Ranch II roads is 25 MPH. Ensure that all contractors and subcontractors are so informed. The roads within Crossroads Ranch II are easily damaged by heavy loads, especially at speeds greater than the posted limit. When possible, transport of heavy loads should be more in the center of the roads and not on the edges.
• No parking of any vehicles on Crossroads Ranch II roads.
• There will be two (2) on-site building inspections from the ACC during construction. The first inspection will be upon completion of the forming of the foundations but prior to the placement of concrete in the footings. The second inspection will be at the completion of construction after the County’s final inspection. These inspections are for Association purposes only and are neither intended to nor do they satisfy County requirements.
• Interim inspections may occur if there are concerns or questions regarding the construction procedures that could have an impact on the property or if there are changes to the site plan or exterior specifications.
• No burning of rubbish is permitted in Crossroads Ranch II.
• Any mid-project changes to your outlying structure will need to be approved by the Architectural Control Committee if the changes involve any building exterior modifications or site modifications.
