Failure to abide by declaration as fraud. — Where, pursuant to this section, builder prepared a "Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions Relative to Carson-Grande Addition," but, in spite of the stipulations set forth therein, builder never constructed a pool, never activated the homeowners association, did not transfer the common areas to the association, and amended the declaration so as to eliminate the planned construction of a pool, there was sufficient evidence to support the trial court's findings of fact and conclusions of law establishing a pattern of commission and omission amounting to fraud.
