    On this occasion, the Court of Appeals concluded that the procedure used to amend the charter and restrictive covenants was valid but remanded the case with directions to determine whether these amendments were reasonable and to determine whether the plat supported the existence of implied restrictive covenants. Hughes v. New Life Dev. Corp., No. M2010–00579–COA–R3–CV, 2011 WL 1661605, at *9–11 (Tenn.Ct.App. Apr. 29, 2011).
