Construction vs Covenants - What is the legal statute?
I purchased property in Cossawattee River Resort (CRR) in Ellijay, GA. My property is a RV on .10 of an acre and is located in the Eagles Mountain Campground. The CRR has covenants for all sections of the CRR. One of the specifics of the covenant for campground area is that "no construction allowed in the campground", but the information packet that I rec'd at the POA office also had "Construction Guidelines for Campground". Over the course of years, the CRR has relinquished the covenant (dated in 1988) and allowed people to build on their piece of property of "roof-overs", porches, etc. Some people did go overboard and pretty much built lean to's and such that have decreased the property to looking like a trashy trailer park. Well, now the Board of Directors has gone and determined to put a complete stop on any/all construction and revert (after goodness knows how many years) back to the original covenants. I feel that I should be allowed to build and enhance my personal property on my land any way that I choose, but because of the actions of some folks I am being told that NO I can't do that - the covenant will stand. I feel that I am being discriminated against and how can the CRR do this after allowing this to happen for some many years and do they have a standing on what they can do or is there a statute of limitations?
Is there any law that says they can actually do this? Or does allowing for construction for some many years set a precedent?
