BACKGROUND/RELATED STRATEGIC GOAL:

 

Auto Art Gallery, LLC, the current owner of the property located at 11700 SE Shell Avenue, Hobe Sound has requested the release of two Unities of Title and a development order encumbering the property. See the attached request from Mac Ross, Esquire.

 

In 2001, a Unity of Title was entered into by MJD Ventures, Inc. for a project known as MJD Ventures and recorded in Official Records Book 1615, Page 2703, Public Records of Martin County, Florida. A Development Order was approved on August 27, 2001, and recorded in Official Records Book 1615, Page 2672, Public Records of Martin County, Florida.  The project was never constructed.  In addition, a zoning Covenant Running with the Land was recorded in Official Records Book 1615, page 2699, Public Records of Martin County, Florida.

 

In 2019, a Unity of Title was entered into by Nautilus Associates, LLC for a project known as StudioWorks and recorded in Official Records Book 3047, Page 165, Public Records of Martin County, Florida. The project known as StudioWorks is currently under construction.

 

Auto Art Gallery, LLC, has indicated that it wishes to convey condominium units and is requesting that the previously recorded Unities of Title be released to provide a Unity of Title that authorizes the conveyance of condominium units.  In addition, the recission of the 2001 Development Order and Covenant Running with the Land will alleviate potential confusion in the future resulting from numerous documents encumbering a piece of property.
