Matthews v. Olson

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Second District
Aug 5, 1968
212 So. 2d 357 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1968)

Opinion

No. 67-527.

July 10, 1968. Rehearing Denied August 5, 1968.

Appeal from the Circuit Court, Hillsborough County, Oliver C. Maxwell, J.

H. Eugene Johnson, Tampa, for appellants.

Ronald K. Cacciatore and Yado, Keel Nelson, Tampa, for appellees.


Appellants purchased property zoned for commercial use but restricted to residential use by a covenant running with the land of which they had actual as well as constructive notice. They built and operated a day nursery without seeking the advice of a lawyer. This was error on their part, but there was none on the part of the learned chancellor who enjoined permanently the violation of the restriction. Moore v. Stevens, 90 Fla. 879, 106 So. 901, 43 A.L.R. 1127 (1925); Hagan v. Sabal Palms, Inc., 186 So.2d 302 (Fla.2d D.C.A. 1966); Thompson v. Squibb, 183 So.2d 30 (Fla.2d D.C.A. 1966).

Affirmed.

ALLEN, Acting C.J., and PIERCE, J., concur.
