JULY 2021

​Dear VI Property Owners:


With much gratitude to the nearly 300 VI property owners who signed the Consent Form for the 2021 Deed Restriction Revitalization effort, as well as to the many volunteers without whom this would not have been possible, I am thrilled to announce that we were notified on July 14, 2021 that the Department of Economic Opportunity (“DEO”) completed its review of the submitted  Revitalization documents and have determined “that the documents comply with the requirements of Chapter 720, Part III, Florida Statutes.  Therefore, the proposed revitalization of the VIHA’s Declaration of Covenants is approved.”!!! 

As a reminder NO modifications to the DRs were made as a result of the Revitalization process and the VIHA is NOT a Chapter 720 association.

The Deed Restrictions (“DRs”) were filed with Pinellas County and recorded on July 28, 2021 (the “Record Date”).  Therefore, as of the Record Date the DRs are once again enforceable within Venetian Isles.  That means the following:
  • Qualified Property Management will immediately resume assisting the Deed Restriction Committee with the enforcement of DRs;
  • Any modifications to the exterior of properties located in Venetian Isles (including driveways, roofs, docks, etc…) need to be submitted to the Architectural Review Committee (“ARC”) for approval before the commencement of construction; and,
  • A packet containing all the exhibits sent and approved by DEO will be hand-delivered to your home within the next few weeks (or mailed to absentee owners).
During the period where the DRs were not enforceable some property owners made improvements to their properties that would not have been allowed under the DRs.  Unfortunately, the revitalization of the DRs does not apply to these changes retroactively.

As I have mentioned in previous President’s Letters, the DRs need to be revised which could include deletions of certain DRs, modifications to others and the creation of new DRs based upon changes in technologies, property owner preferences, etc.  The more input we get on these proposed enhancements the more effective they will be.  The first step will be a resident survey that will help identify and prioritize DR revisions.  We will also provide an opportunity to discuss the survey results and proposed DR changes in what I imagine will be a series of Town Hall meetings.   I will be communicating more information on this soon.

The Board thanks you for your support and your patience during this protracted process and I look forward to having further conversations about how we can improve life in Venetian Isles.
