“The logic of this and similar holdings has been questioned because the focal point in the determination should be whether the intent of the original parties and their purpose in restricting the land have been frustrated by a change in conditions, not who owns the parcel sought to be relieved of the restrictions at the time the action for removal is filed. § 11.12, Florida Real Property Practice III, The Florida Bar, C.L.E. (2d Ed. 1976).”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. Dozier v. Wood“the test for determining the continued validity of restrictive covenants ... is whether or not the original purpose and intention of the parties to such covenant can be reasonably carried out, in the light of alleged material changes which are claimed to have effectually frustrated their object without fault or neglect on the part of the one who seeks to be relieved of their observance.”

Wood“The trial court found that the highest and best use of appellees' property would be the proposed condominium use, but, while this may be a good test in other situations, it is not the correct test in determining continued validity of restrictive covenants.”
