Property owner brought action against neighbors seeking to enforce restrictive covenant to prevent leasing of neighbors’ property to a third party for the purpose of horse grazing. The Circuit Court found in favor of neighbors. Owner appealed.
The Court of Appeals held that:
- Neighbors’ lot was subject to the covenants;
- Owner of property that was subject to restrictive covenants preventing commercial activity had standing to bring action against neighbors;
- Amendment to restrictions on property was not lawfully executed; and
- Neighbors violated restrictive covenant when they leased tract of open land adjacent to their residence to the operators of equestrian center for the purpose of using tract as a horse pasture.
