21.1 Proposal. Amendments to this Declaration may be proposed by the Board of Directors, or by written petition to the Board signed by the owners of at least twenty percent (20%) of the Voting Interests.
21.2 Procedure. Upon any amendment or amendments to this Declaration being proposed as provided above, the proposed amendment or amendments shall be submitted to a vote of the members not later than the next annual meeting, unless insufficient time to give proper notice remains before that meeting.
21.3 Vote Required. Except as otherwise provided by law, or by specific provision of the condominium documents, this Declaration may be amended by concurrence of at least sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66 2/3%) of those voting interests who are present and voting, in person or by proxy, at any annual or special meeting called for the purpose. Alternatively, amendments may be adopted without a meeting following the procedure set forth in Section 3.13 of the Bylaws.
21.4 Certificate; Recording. A copy of each adopted amendment shall be attached to a certificate that the amendment was duly adopted as an amendment to the Declaration, which certificate shall be in the form required by law and shall be executed by the President or Vice President of the Association with the formalities of a deed. The amendment shall be effective when the certificate and copy of the amendment are recorded in the Public Records of Collier County, Florida.
21.5 Provision. No amendment may change the configuration or size of any Unit owned by a person or entity other than the Developer in any material fashion, materially alter or modify the appurtenances to the unit, or change the proportion or percentage by which the owner of a parcel shares the common expenses and owns the common surplus (except as provided in Section 6.1 herein), unless the record owner of the Unit, and all record owners of liens on it, join in the execution of the amendment. No other consents or approvals shall be required. This proviso does not apply to changes caused by condemnation or a taking by eminent domain as provided in Section 16.

The amendment must be approved by at least fifty-one percent (51%) of the voting interests, but no other person need join in or consent to the amendment. The amendment vests title in the Association and becomes appurtenant to the units without naming the unit owners or units and without further conveyance, in the same proportion as the undivided shares in the common elements that are appurtenant to the units.
21.7 Correction of Errors and Amendments. If there is an omission or error in this Declaration of Condominium or in other documents required by Florida law to establish the Condominium, the Association may correct the error or omission by following the procedures set forth in the Condominium Act. Until control of the Association is turned over to unit owners other than the Developer the Association may amend this Declaration and its exhibits in any manner convenient or necessary to the development process including for the purpose of adding to or withdrawing property from this Declaration. Said amendments may be made and executed solely by the Association and recorded in the Public Records of Collier County, Florida, and without any requirement of securing the consent of any unit owner, or the owner and holder of any lien encumbering a condominium parcel, provided such amendments shall not increase the number of units nor alter the
