Background: On June 22, 1998, Thomas J. Ritter and Debra M. Ritter (the “Owners”) executed a Restrictive Covenant relative to Lots 6 and 7, Block 1437, Port St. Lucie Section Seventeen. The Restrictive Covenant encumbers Lots 6 and 7, so that the lots would be assessed as a single residential unit.
