The Moorings, Vero Beach, Florida
WE JUST RECEIVED AN EMAIL FROM A MEMBER OF THE SOUTH BEACH PROPERTY OWNERS ASSOCIATION (SBPOA), IN INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, FL THAT “THREE DISSIDENT DIRECTORS OF SBPOA, CLAIMING TO REPRESENT ‘80%’ OF THE CONSTITUENCY OF THE ASSOCIATION, THREATEN TO WITHDRAW THEIR ASSOCIATIONS FROM THE SBPOA UNLESS THEY ARE IN CONTROL. THIS WOULD PRESUMABLY PRECIPITATE THE COLLAPSE OF OUR ORGANIZATION.”
This member offered the following evidence to the contrary:
Further, the member wrote: “Similarly, these three Members contribute about 25% of our annual budget.
We would certainly regret the loss of the Moorings Property Owners Association, the Sandpointe Property Owners Association, and the Seagrove Property Owners Association from our organization at the instigation of their self-appointed representatives on the SBPOA Board.
Has anyone actually considered the opinion of the elected representatives–the officers and directors of these associations–in making this decision?
It is also important to note that the Moorings of Vero Property Owners Association, Inc. (MPOA) is actually just an umbrella association for several property and condominium associations. The MPOA has no authority of its own to enforce covenants and deed restrictions on individual property owners. The real authority rests with the individual associations, as shown below with their corporate identity:
| Corp_ID | POA Corporation |
| N12849 | HARBOR INN AT THE MOORINGS ASSOCIATION, INC. |
| 742293 | HARBOUR SIDE CONDOMINIUM ASSOCIATION OF VERO BEACH, INC. |
| 762936 | HARBOUR SIDE YACHT CLUB, INC. |
| 738518 | NORTH PASSAGE ASSOCIATION, INC. |
| N07016 | NOR’WEST PASSAGE CONDOMINIUM ASSOCIATION, INC. |
| 745164 | PORPOISE BAY VILLAS CONDOMINIUM ASSOCIATION, INC. |
| 733304 | SABAL REEF ASSOCIATION, INC. |
| N99000000406 | SEA MIST COURT OWNERS ASSOCIATION, INC |
| 729728 | SOUTH PASSAGE ASSOCIATION, INC. |
| 765944 | SOUTHWINDS AT THE MOORINGS ASSOCIATION, INC. |
| 747816 | SPINNAKER POINT ASSOCIATION, INC. |
| N33270 | SPYGLASS HARBOUR ASSOCIATION, INC. |
| 752298 | THE ANCHOR PROPERTY OWNERS’ ASSOCIATION, INC. |
| 718783 | THE BILLOWS ASSOCIATION, INC. |
| 752121 | THE GALLEONS’ ASSOCIATION, INC. |
| N08090 | THE POINTES AT THE MOORINGS ASSOCIATION, INC. |
| 755905 | THE RIVER MEWS ASSOCIATION, INC. |
| 741781 | WEST PASSAGE ASSOCIATION, INC. |
| 742137 | WINDWARD CONDOMINIUM ASSOCIATION OF VERO BEACH, INC. |
(Moorings Units 1, 2, 3, and 4 are single-family residential neighborhoods and do not have restrictive covenants administered by a property owners’ association.)
One must similarly ask whether any of the elected officials of these associations have been consulted in any way as to whether they should continue as members of the SBPOA.”
Stay tuned…
It’s fun to have breaking news.
