Hanging out the laundry in Florida

Despite the restrictions found in our Creekside documents, homeowners in Florida have the "Right to Dry" their clothes using clotheslines. Florida legislation was passed that prevents homeowner associations from "prohibiting solar collectors, clotheslines, or other energy devices based on renewable resources from being installed on buildings erected on the lots or parcels covered by the deed restriction, covenant, declaration, or binding agreement." Its is part of Chapter 163 of Title XI which is titled Energy devices based on renewable resources. The intent of the legistlation is to help homeowner's reduce their overall energy usage and may possibly end up saving people some money in the long run.
