1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. Ferguson v. Ferguson““Appellant also contends that the covenants were not lawfully imposed with respect to his properties. The trial court correctly held that they were binding upon the appellant’s lands since it found, based upon the evidence in the record that the appellant had actual notice of these covenants. [Citations.] The record also demonstrates [the developer’s] intent to adopt a general scheme for development by imposition of the restrictive covenants. Neither the fact that they do not appear in his deed nor the fact that they were not properly placed on public record relieves the appellant of their burden because he had actual notice. [Citations.]” Id. at 292 .”
