Re: property owner convenant changes
If you're an association with bylaws,
this procedure would work only if permitted by the bylaws. However, if the covenants which you refer to run individually with the land(meaning each individual lot) and are independent of any HOA governance, the procedure which you've proposed would not appear appropriate to effect the kind of change which you intend.
