7. GOLF COURSE/GOLF CART PATHS. The golf course and golf cart paths are for golf use only and may not be used by Association members for skateboarding or bicycling. Motorized scooters may not be used on the golf course or golf cart paths. Walking or logging on the golf cart paths are also prohibited.
HOA BOARD HAS NO AUTHORITY TO MAKE GOLF COURSE RULES
The Board and its lawyer Guralnick are very aware that according our CC& R section 4.1 (see below) the Board has absolutely no authority to restrict the homeowner access to the Golf Course including the Golf Path.
Lawyer Guralnick and the HOA
management are well aware as should the Board be aware, that Plaza (Sunrise,
Bill Bone) according to the original CC&Rs stated as follows:
CC&R's
Recorded October 5, 1978
9.11 Golf Cart and Pedestrian Paths. In connection with Declarant's
development of the Project and Plaza's development of the Monterey Country
Club, an extensive system of paved paths will be installed. Such paths will be
generally located approximately on the boundaries dividing the Project from the
Monterey Country Club. In some cases, however, portions of such paths may be
located entirely on the Project or entirely on the Monterey Country Club. For
convenience, notwithstanding the precise property lines of the Project and of
the Monterey Country Club, the Association shall be responsible for maintaining
all landscaping on the

to and pass with title to every Condominium. Upon the acquisition of a Condominium
l each Owner shall enter into a membership agreement with Country Club whereby

in this Paragraph 4.1, and the obligations, liabilities, requirements, and
limitations which Country Club shall have the right to impose on the Owner s
use and enjoyment of the Monterey Country Club. Country Club shall have the

responsible for maintaining all landscaping on the residential side of the out
of bounds stakes as they were located on the date of recordation of this
Restated Declaration; Country Club shall be responsible for maintaining all landscaping
on the golf course side of the out of bounds stakes
as they were located on the date
of recordation of this Restated Declaration. The cost of maintaining golf cart paths
shall be the responsibility of the Country Club.
The Board has provided no justification or authority to create any prohibition on the use of the Golf Path.
ReplyDelete*What does it hurt to let members walk on the cart paths? Perhaps restrict the hours - before 8:00 a.m. and after 5:00 p.m.
ReplyDeleteThese changes seem to be taking place under a "shroud" of secrecy. We believe these rule changes should be discussed when many of the owners have returned in the fall and are able to attend the meetings.
