11/19/25 UPDATE:  I did not receive the AMENDED Unit 7 CC&Rs allowing wells to be drilled when I purchased in 2006.

8/17/25 UPDATE:  Jay Meyers’ small claims suit

Word on the street:

Jay Meyers filed his complaint against his neighbor living in an RV to enforce CC&Rs in small claims court.

Jay Meyers (posted by “Norman Plombe”) alleges in his very interesting YouTube video that the MCA fabricated the amended CC&Rs regarding the ability to live in RVs.

I will update as more info and facts become available.

The Arizona Supreme Court 2022 ruling in Kalway v. Calabria Ranch HOA, LLC defines what can reasonably be expected, unreasonable restrictions, and how to change CC&Rs.

An analysis of the ruling:

  • This ruling impacts the MCA’s attempts to enforce CC&Rs.
  • I’ve seen numerous posts on Facebook regarding the MCA threatening to enforce the removal of allegedly prohibited shipping containers.

Shipping containers appear to be allowed as per the County regulations.

The County regulations continually change, be sure to rely on the current regs. Please send me the link, thanks!

11/19/25 update:  I had emails with the County confirming that shipping containers are legal for our RE Zoning.  Will post the link when I have more time.

I also confirmed that living in campers permanently is allowed as long as you have a septic hookup and pay the annual fee — contrary to MCA director Baur’s vile FALSE claims.

It appears that the MCA is trying to amend the CC&Rs without actually amending them.

I just saw one Unit’s restriction on METAL buildings and will have to analyze the various Units’ CC&Rs. If I had more time, I would create a table for easy comparison of the various restrictions in the Units.  Would someone like to contribute?

Many CITIES allow chickens, and it is unreasonable to prohibit chickens in the water haul Units.

It makes NO sense that out in Unit 7 off Charles (water haul) the CC&Rs prohibit chickens, but in Meadview they’re allowed.   Many of these restrictions imposed around 1970 were created to support the false promises of a golf course and marina at South Cove and LUXURY development.  Obviously, this did not happen, as evidenced by the countless ancient single-wide trailers, campers, abandoned and destroyed properties, etc.

My CC&Rs (Unit 7) prohibit wells.

Is that a reasonable restriction?  Enforceable?

11/19/25 update:  I did not receive the AMENDED Unit 7 CC&Rs allowing wells to be drilled when I purchased in 2006 and Jonathan Kiser was my agent.

IMPORTANT:  Even if your property is NOT in the MCA, the CC&Rs recorded against your property still apply to you.  Check your title policy for any mention of CC&Rs.  In my research I found that ALL Unit 7 lots have CC&Rs, even when NOT in the MCA.  The MCA is the designated enforcer.

  • Even if the MCA is dissolved, the CC&Rs stay until the residents vote to eliminate or remove the CC&Rs.  Without the MCA to enforce the CC&Rs, property owners can enforce the CC&Rs in court.

The requirements to eliminate or amend the CC&Rs are in that Unit’s CC&Rs.  Often a percentage of the owners in “that” Unit has to vote for the changes. READ your CC&Rs and ensure that they are the CURRENT and legally amended CC&Rs.
