[WSBARP] Statute of Limitations Question

[Richard Holland]

Wouldn't Party A's argument be equity based like laches / estoppel and not Stat of Limitations?  I mean the SOL runs from breach and where exactly would the measuring/trigger point be?  Best case somehow at sale from D1 to D2?

Interesting statute of limitations issue.

Party A buys Parcel A from Developer One in 2006.
Party A agrees to cooperate "to the greatest extent possible" [whatever that means] in seller's completion of a Rural Cluster Subdivision - a 32 Lot development.
Upon approval of the Plat then an additional Parcel will be available for Party A to purchase.
Party A further agrees to "adhere to the CCR's of the Plat to be established" and further agrees to "respect and acknowledge" [whatever that means] the open space and native growth protection area in the Plat.

Developer One never develops the property and eventually sells all of the properties - except Parcel A which is still owned by Party A -   to Developer Two.

Developer Two is now seeking Plat approval which incorporates Parcel A  into the plat and incorporates Parcel A into the CCR's and is asking Party A to sign off.

Party A says:  I do not want my Parcel A to be part of the development; I do not want it to be subject to the CCR's and it has been over 10 years since I had the Agreement with Developer One.

Are Developer Two's claims that Party A has duties under the 2006 Sale Agreement time barred?

Thanks,

Ron
