The 3rd District Court of Appeal recently sided with minority owners by ruling that Florida’s statute law governing the sale of condominium projects does not apply to properties that pre-date Florida’s 2007 amendment to its condominium statute.  So-called “Kaufman” language needs to be in place which would allow an Association’s rules to automatically update to reflect future changes to the Condo Declaration.

Milhaus Development has proposed a five-floor building with 84 apartment units and 7,300 square feet of restaurant/retail in Seminole Heights.  The site is on the corner of N. Florida Avenue at Idlewild and would replace a run down used car lot.  As with any change, there are locals who are opposed to the project in its current incarnation.  The biggest complaint has to do with the five story height, however, if the developer is forced to remove a floor, then it is likely the ground floor retail will be nixed from the project making it exclusively residential.  Losing ground floor retail in the district could start to erode the charm of the area according to some residents.
