Final Order No.: DEO-14-168
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity issued Final Order No. DEO-14-168 on December 9, 2014, in response to applications submitted by the Hidden Cove Estates Homeowners Association, Inc. for covenant revitalization under Chapter 720, Part III, Florida Statutes.
DEO determined that the application did not meet the statutory requirements for covenant revitalization for the following reasons: 1) The application failed to include verified copies of the original By-Laws and Articles of Incorporation, in violation of section 720.406(1)(b), Florida Statutes; 2) the proposed revived declaration contained different voting interests than the previous declaration in violation of section 720.405(4)(a), Florida Statutes; 3) the proposed revived declaration contained different proportional assessments than the previous declaration in violation of section 720.405(4)(b) Florida Statutes; 4) the proposed revived declaration contained different amendment provisions than the previous declaration in violation of section 720.405(4)(c) Florida Statutes; and 5) the proposed revived declaration contained covenants that are more restrictive than the previous declaration in violation of section 720.405(4)(d) Florida Statutes. Accordingly, DEO’s Final Order denied the application for covenant revitalization.
Copies of the final order may be obtained by writing to the Agency Clerk, Department of Economic Opportunity, 107 E. Madison Street, MSC 110, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-4128 or Katie.Zimmer@DEO.MyFlorida.com.
