It can likely be found in the Deed to your property and probably identified as "Easements and Restrictions of Record". The "restriction" was likely an original condition in the 1st Grant of the Easement and wouldn't necessary be specifically in your Deed.

This is a perfect example of why folks should use Attorneys and not "Closing Mills" when they buy a home. An Attorney would have done a complete Title search and informed you of the specific terms and restrictions effecting your property.

Also, your Title Insurance Policy will have a reference to the Easement Deed, which will point you to the document that contains the terms of the Easement Grant.

If the area in question is indeed an "Easement" on your property, you own the land and unless an activity is expressly prohibited, it is allowed. If as you say, it is not contained in your Restrictions imposed by the Developer or CDD, it's entirely possible that plantings are allowed. You need to have an Attorney do a legitimate Title search and that will give you the answers.
