(a) The declaration may provide for a period of declarant control of the association, during which period a declarant, or persons designated by the declarant, may elect the members of the board of directors.

Regardless of the period provided in the declaration, a period of declarant control terminates upon surrender of control by the declarant or no later than 60 days after conveyance of 75 percent of the units to unit owners other than a declarant.
