PROTECTIVE
COVENANTS
THE VILLAGE OF
FLORIDA
111
"A home is not a detached unit but a
part of a neighborhood, which in
turn is part of a town; and the good
quality of the home usually depends
at least as much on its surround-
ings as on its design and construc-
tion. Hence the vital importance of
ground planning and control of the
development of neighborhoods."
Thomas Adams
PRO 1 ECTIVE COVENANTS
Village of North Palm Beach, Florida
Protective covenants, or private deed restrictions, have been
found from many years of experience to be an essential instru-
ment in maintaining character and desirability in community de-
velopment. Years of experience by developers all over the nation
have been drawn upon in the preparation of these covenants in
an effort to create a residential community in which the individual
home owner is not unduly hampered in the use of his property,
yet is protected against the haphazard development so familiar
in older areas.
Protective covenants are not to be considered as taking the
place of public regulations such as zoning. Both types of regula-
tion are essential and are not necessarily overlapping. Zoning by
the Village of North Palm Beach provides for certain limited regu-
lations which are considered necessary in the interest of public
health, safety and general welfare. The protective covenants in
the Village are contracts between private parties, the owners of
the property involved, which give considerably more protection
than regulations enforceable by the Village Council.
The following is an abstract of these covenants:
PARAGRAPH I.
Property Subject to This Declaration
All of the single family residential lots and blocks platted as
the Village of North Palm Beach are subject to these covenants,
restrictions, reservations, servitudes and easements. Lots other
than those restricted to single family residential purposes are sub-
ject to other, separate protective covenants.
PARAGRAPH II.
General Purpose of Covenants
The real property described in Paragraph I hereof is sub-
jected to the covenants, restrictions, reservations, servitudes and
3
easements hereby declared to insure the best use and the most
appropriate development and improvement of each lot thereof;
to protect the owners of lots against such improper use of sur-
rounding lots as will depreciate the value of their property; to
preserve, so far as practicable, the natural beauty of said property;
to guard against the erection thereon of poorly designed or pro-
portioned structures and structures built of improper or unsuit-
able materials, to obtain harmonious architectural schemes; to
insure the highest and best development of said property; to en-
courage and secure the erection of attractive homes thereon, with
appropriate locations thereof on lots; to prevent haphazard and
inharmonious improvement of lots; to secure and maintain proper
setbacks from streets and adequate free spaces between struc-
tures; and, in general, to provide adequately for a high type and
quality of improvement in said property, and thereby enhance
the value of investments made by purchasers of lots therein.

constructed or altered in conformity with the plans and specifica-
tions, and plot plans theretofore approved by the Architectural
Committee or its duly appointed agent, as provided in Para-

pletion of any structure or alteration, such structure or alteration
shall be deemed to comply with all of the provisions of Para-

reservations, servitudes or easements is occurring or has occurred.
9. Prior to the occupancy of any dwelling constructed or
erected on any such lot, the prospective occupants thereof shall
obtain a Certificate of Occupancy issued by the Architectural
Committee certifying that the construction thereof has been com-
pleted in accordance with the plans and specifications approved
by the Architectural Committee. No dwelling shall be occupied
prior to the issuance of such Certificate of Occupancy. The Archi-
tectural Committee may, from time to time delegate to a person
or persons right to approve or disapprove the plans and specifi-
cations and plot plans and to issue such Certificates of Occupancy.

as a part of the general plan of development, improvement, build-
ing, equipment, and maintenance of said property. Each grantee
or purchaser under a contract of sale or agreement of purchase, by

ments as are in force on said first day of January, 1981, shall be
continued automatically and without further notice from that
time for a period of ten (10) years and thereafter for successive
periods of ten (10) years each, without limitation, unless within
six (6) months prior to the expiration of any successive period of
ten (10) years thereafter, a written agreement executed by the
then record owners of lots in the property subject to this Declara-
tion, having an aggregate area equivalent to not less than fifty (50)
per cent of the area of the total number of lots then subject to
this Declaration shall be placed on record in the office of the
13
Clerk of the Circuit Court of Palm Beach County, Florida, in

extinguished in whole or in part, as to all or any part of the
property then subject thereto in the manner and to the extent
therein provided.
2. In the event that any such written agreement of change
or modification be fully executed and recorded, the original cove-

Committee, or by an owner of any lot in said property.

and for value at any time heretofore or hereafter executed cover-
ing any part of said property, and the breach of any such cove-

nants, restrictions, reservations, servitudes and easements shall
not defeat the lien or encumbrance of any such mortgage or deed
of trust; provided, however the purchaser at any foreclosure sale
under any such mortgage or deed of trust, his or its successors and
assigns, shall take and thereafter hold the title subject to all of
the covenants, restrictions, reservations, servitudes and easements
set forth in this Declaration.
PARAGRAPH XIV.

and to the Architectural Committee, jointly and severally, the
right to immediate entry upon the property upon which such
violation exists, and summarily to abate and remove, at the ex-
pense of the owner thereof, any erection, structure, building,
thing or condition that may be or exist thereon contrary to this
Declaration, and to the true intent and meaning of the provisions
hereof, and the Declarant or the Architectural Committee shall
not thereby be deemed guilty of any manner of trespass for such
entry, abatement, or removal, nor shall the Declarant or the
Architectural Committee be liable for any damages occasioned
thereby. The result of every act of omission or commission, or the
violation of any covenant, restriction, reservation, servitude and
easement, hereof, whether such covenant, restriction, reservation,
servitude and easement is violated in whole or in part, is hereby
declared to be and to constitute a nuisance, and every remedy
allowed by law or equity against a nuisance, either public or
private, shall be applicable against any such owner of any lot,
and may be prohibited and enjoined by injunction. Such remedy
shall be deemed cumulative and not exclusive.
Where an action, suit or other judicial proceeding is insti-
tuted or brought for the enforcement of these covenants, restric-
tions, reservations, servitudes and easements, the losing party in
such litigation shall pay all expense, including a reasonable at-
torney's fee, incurred by the other party in such legal proceeding.

tectural Committee, or by the owner or owners of any portion
