BOCA RATON, FL — The owners of a Boca Raton commercial property are suing Boca West Country Club and Boca West Master Association in Palm Beach County Circuit Court, alleging the private club and its master association violated a decades-old view protection agreement and a 2012 court-approved settlement by building a landscaped berm and planting restricted tree species along the shared boundary line.
The complaint was filed July 9, 2026 in the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit in and for Palm Beach County by CL 100 LLC, CL 305 LLC, and CL 7777 Associates, L.P., three Delaware entities authorized to do business in Florida. The case is captioned CL 100 LLC et al. v. Boca West Country Club, Inc. f/k/a Boca West Club, Inc. et al., Case No. 502026CA007713XXXAMB. The plaintiffs are represented by Jeremy Slusher of Slusher & Rosenblum, P.A. in West Palm Beach.
According to the complaint, the dispute traces back to a July 16, 1985 agreement between Boca Corporate Centre Associates, Ltd. and Arvida Corporation, recorded in Palm Beach County Official Records Book 4625, Page 1503. The lawsuit alleges Arvida agreed it would not plant trees along the boundary line or construct any building, fence, wall, berm, or other structure on the golf course property that would impair the view of the golf course from the commercial property. The complaint states the club later succeeded to Arvida's obligations through an assignment and assumption agreement.
The filing describes an earlier round of litigation. According to the complaint, predecessor plaintiffs filed an action for declaratory and injunctive relief against the same defendants in Palm Beach County Circuit Court on January 21, 2011, alleging the defendants failed to comply with the 1985 agreement. That case was resolved through a stipulation for settlement filed on November 5, 2012. The complaint alleges the stipulation clarified, rather than superseded, the parties' underlying obligations.
The complaint alleges the stipulation required the master association to maintain a twenty-foot border parcel in perpetuity, barred new plantings of areca palms, slash pine, royal palm, jacaranda, sabal palms, queen palms, or pink tabebuia along that portion of the boundary, prohibited invasive species as defined by Palm Beach County, and required other trees and plant material to be trimmed to no more than eighteen feet above the finished floor elevation of the first floor of the four-story commercial building on the plaintiffs' property.
The lawsuit alleges the defendants have failed to comply with those obligations. In particular, the complaint alleges the defendants constructed a berm along the boundary line that on its own impairs the view of the golf course from the plaintiffs' commercial property. The complaint further alleges the defendants planted multiple trees on top of the berm, including species restricted by the stipulation, far exceeding the eighteen-foot height restriction, and permitted invasive species to grow within the boundary line.
According to the complaint, plaintiffs' counsel sent the defendants a notice on July 1, 2026 requesting compliance and enclosing photographs of allegedly non-conforming plantings as of June 30, 2026. The complaint alleges the defendants have not come into compliance and continue to perform landscaping work along the boundary line.
The complaint brings two counts. Count I seeks declaratory relief under Florida Statutes Chapter 86, asking the court to declare the parties' respective rights and obligations under the 1985 agreement and the 2012 stipulation. Count II seeks a temporary and permanent mandatory injunction requiring the defendants to comply with those obligations.
Boca Post reviewed the complaint, CL 100 LLC et al. v. Boca West Country Club, Inc. f/k/a Boca West Club, Inc. et al., Case No. 502026CA007713XXXAMB, filed July 9, 2026 in the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit in and for Palm Beach County.
The filing reviewed by Boca Post does not include a response from the defendants. The case is newly filed, the plaintiffs seek both declaratory and injunctive relief, and the allegations have not been proven in court.
