The Declaration can be amended by the affirmative vote of the owners of not less than two-thirds (2/3) of the land area described in Exhibit B.
Owners within the land described as Exhibit B can vote on the proposed First Amendment. Their vote is based on the acreage they own. The acreage associated with a condominium is based upon the common elements of that condominium, and the weight of each unit owner vote is based on that owner’s percentage of interest in the common elements. The amount of a condominium’s acreage is based on the acreage established by the condominium declaration and confirmed with the property appraiser’s office. If a condominium association owns land for the use and benefit of its members, the condominium association will vote on the acreage for that “association property” based upon the appropriate threshold of membership or board of director votes required by applicable law and the governing documents. If the condominium association owns a unit within the condominium, then the association’s vote in favor of the amendment will also include the unit’s percentage of the common elements.
Homeowners’ Associations will also hold a membership vote. The vote of a lot within a homeowner association will commit the acreage of that lot in favor of amendment. Additionally, any homeowners’ association will vote on whether to approve the amendment for the acreage of any Common Areas or any lot owned by such homeowners’ association. The homeowners’ association approval may require a membership vote or a vote of its board of directors, depending on the requirements in the governing documents of that homeowners’ association.

- All roadways surrounding the Inverrary development are City roads, with the exception of Oakland Park Blvd W, which is a state road. The City’s Engineering Department (utilizing the City’s professional traffic engineering consultant) will be overseeing the traffic study for the Inverrary Development, and the implementation of off-site improvements and new driveway and roadway connections for the proposed development. FDOT, in conjunction with the City, will oversee any off-site improvements at the Oakland Park Blvd W and Inverrary Blvd intersection.
