Buie v. Bluebird Landing Owner's Ass'n

District Court of Appeal of Florida

Decided August 7, 2015No. 1D14-1185PublishedCited by 6 opinions

1Opinion of the CourtOsterhaus, J.

The case involves a disputed easement and whether a developer of two adjacent properties in Columbia County reserved usage rights in a riverfront common area in his first development, which he later conveyed to purchasers in his second development.
