Final Cart Path Access• We were in error last meeting and were

basing our comments on an intermediate construction of the Ped/Cart Gate.

• The current gate is a combination cart/ped gate and vehicle gate. – Our ID Cards will open the gate for a cart access

only.– The gate provides access to the San Sebastian

entrance driveway and we will pass by their entrance to get to the Long’s Parking Lot.

The Discovery Group• Several Years ago 625 residents hired an

attorney, Steven Rice, for advice on what we could do concerning the actions of PCM and our Boards.

• This group became known as “The Discovery Group”.

• The attorney provided several options that we, as owners, might pursue.

Primary Option = Research

• The one that the group opted to take was a complete research of all the governing documents that could be located.

• This included such documents as;– Articles of Incorporation; Trust Agreement;

Regulatory Agreement; CC&R’s; Management Agreements; written communication; etc.

Sale of Land Within the Walls of Leisure World

• What governs the sale of our community land;– The fact that we are a CID (Common Interest

Development)– We have CC&R’s– CA State Law (The Davis Stirling Act #1359)

prohibits partitioning of our land within the first 50 years.
