Full Breakdown
Section 11-902.10, Additional Submissions Required Prior to Final Approval, requires that any Homeowners Association or Condominium documents and declarations of covenants and restrictions for a Planned Unit Development be filed with the Community Development Director, subject to City Attorney approval, and recorded against the property in their approved form. The code does not leave the association's internal enforcement as the only backstop: it requires the recorded documents to include a prohibition on outdoor storage, a requirement that the association maintain all exterior areas and site improvements including the principal structures, and a clause letting the City, following its own code violation procedures, gain reasonable access to abate violations of City ordinances and other laws and then assess the association for that cost.
That last piece means the City does not have to wait for an HOA to enforce its own CC&Rs against a violating owner or common area; the City can step in directly and bill the association. This submission requirement sits inside the broader PUD approval process in Section 11-902, which also requires a development agreement under Subsection 11-307.3 and Section 11-1506, and building permits in a PUD cannot be issued until plans clear review by the Community Development Director and Chief Building Official under Section 11-902.11.
Because the covenant-filing and City-abatement clause is mandatory language the City requires before final PUD approval, it applies to every planned unit development in Coon Rapids rather than being negotiated case by case.
Violations & Fines
If exterior areas or site improvements in a PUD are not maintained as the recorded covenants require, the City can abate the violation under its own code violation procedures and assess the cost against the homeowners association under Section 11-902.10(2)(c).
