The Contract has changed FOUR TIMES since it was posted yesterday!

It is impossible for any Homeowner, let alone a Board member who is being asked to approve the contract at 1:30pm tomorrow to have any idea what is being proposed. There are no revision marks to help you keep up, let alone any indication that they are different versions. This is NUTS.

The most current version was posted just 24 hours before the meeting.

The latest version (as of this moment) now makes it REALLY REALLY clear that the 3 golf courses ARE included in the Conservation Easement and Wetland Mitigation Credit sections.

This despite this verbatim transcript from Friday’s meeting where the MCA President and their lawyers tried to make it crystal clear that the golf courses weren’t included, only 110 acres of open space was:

Chris Perone: Lisa, I’m going to ask you again to define the acreage under this agreement with Benderson and the water coming the possibilities of water coming in. Can you just mention that again?

Lisa Reves (Becker & Poliakoff lawyer):  Yes. The areas that are being looked at for the mitigation credits thus the conservation easements is a grand total of 110 acres. It is not a guarantee that all 110 acres are going to be used and there is no proposal to bring in new water to these areas. We are not creating wetlands. We are improving the existing wetlands.

Chris Perone: And Lisa, do you think, does this incorporate the golf courses?

 Lisa Reves: No.

Chris Perone: Okay. Thank you.

What is actually in the contract:
The total of the open space parcels is 192.9 acres.
The total of the golf courses is 307 acres.
That’s 500 acres in total
(see Footnote 1 for the details and links)

500 acres (including all 3 golf courses) is not 110 acres of open space.

(We are not at a loss for words at this point, but we are a long way from “if you can’t say anything nice….”)

We don’t know how any Board member can approve whatever contract they may be asked to approve, and believe they are fulfilling their fiduciary duties to make informed decisions in the best interests of the community.
