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.
