Cambridge Condominium Association, Inc.

What Cambridge Condominium Association, Inc.'s governing documents say

This is a set of protective covenants, reservations, restrictions, and conditions for the Cambridge Subdivision in Evansville, Indiana. It is a master-planned, single-family-home community (not a condominium). The document applies to lot owners (who build and own houses) and is binding for 25 years from recording (1999). It covers architectural standards, land use, maintenance obligations, and homeowners' association membership.

• Residential use & lot usage: All lots are for residential use only, with no more than one single-family dwelling per lot. Some lots near the 'Village' area may be designated for commercial use.
• Architectural review & construction standards: No structure can be built or altered without approval from the Architectural Review Committee. The committee considers materials, design, and harmony with existing homes. Plans, landscaping, and fencing must be submitted. Specific minimum square footage requirements apply by lot; for example, on 70-foot-wide lots a one-story home must be at least 1,500 sq. ft., and a two-story home at least 1,900 sq. ft. (see document for lot-by-lot details).
• Construction & completion rules: Construction must be completed within one year of starting. Builders must keep the site clean, use erosion controls (e.g., silt fencing, straw bales), and provide a 6-cubic-yard dumpster. A $500 erosion-control deposit is collected from each lot owner at closing.
• Fences, setbacks & easements: Fences cannot exceed 3 feet in height in front yards and 6 feet in side/rear yards, and they require committee approval. No chain-link fences are allowed, and solid fencing is not permitted on golf-course lots. Structures must stay within recorded setback lines, and utility easements must remain clear.
• Pets & animals: Household pets (dogs, cats) are allowed but cannot exceed four total. No breeding for commercial purposes, no livestock or poultry. Pets must be confined to the owner's lot or leashed when walked. Barking that disturbs neighbors may be considered a nuisance.
• Parking & vehicles: Overnight street parking is prohibited without association permission. Boats, campers, RVs, commercial trucks, and similar vehicles may only be parked inside an enclosed garage. Maintenance and repair must be done inside a garage.
• Landscaping & property maintenance: Owners must keep their lots mowed, free of debris, and maintain the exterior of all improvements. Mature trees (over 8–10 inches in diameter) cannot be removed without committee approval.
• Homeowners' association (HOA) & assessments: All lot owners automatically become members of the Cambridge Homeowners’ Association Inc. Initial assessments are $50 per month per lot, payable annually by January 10. Annual increases are capped at 10% until common areas are conveyed to the association. Unpaid assessments become a lien on the property.
