We, the undersigned, are requesting modifications to our governing documents as follows:
Declaration of Covenants Article 4.3 Golf Common Areas, states "The Club shall have, without limitation, the following powers: To allow public use of the golf course and clubhouse until control of the Club has been transferred to owners other than the Developer."
1. At this time the BoD is owner controlled and we want our Club to become a private, member only club as promised to us upon purchasing our property.
The Declaration of Covenants, By-Laws, and Rules and Regulations documents put severe and plentiful restrictions on owners of property but allow investors to subject our community to unscreened tenants on a regular basis, twelve (12) times per year per property in accordance with Article 10.29. Upon rental transfer these tenants are considered "members" of our club but do not hold legal title to property in River Strand.
2. It is requested that Article 5.2, Classes of Membership, of our Declaration of Covenants, be modified to add a separate and distinguishable category for "tenants" which will convey the benefits of the member to the tenant upon transfer fee and lease application approval. However, these benefits may have limitations such as not being allowed attendance at meetings pertinent to home ownership, no voting rights on matters pertinent to home ownership, playing in a separate division in our Club Championship tournaments for tenants, as well as other items deemed to be appropriately limited to owner-member only by our Board of Directors.
It is very important to us that lot owners as provided in Declaration of Covenants Article 1.23 be provided some benefit over and above what a short term tenant is currently receiving via a $200 transfer fee.
We encourage the Board to remember all owners who live in the community, contribute to the community, make our community a better place to live, and act accordingly.

The increase in activity regarding our proposal for regulatory changes demonstrates a clear commitment to preserving the standards of our community. This momentum confirms that our collective vision for a member controlled club is shared by many of our neighbors.

The focus of our ongoing discussions remains the necessary separation between resident owners and short-term tenants within our community. I am currently reviewing your feedback regarding the proposed membership category changes to ensure our governing documents reflect the original intent of our property purchases.

I am in total agreement with the proposed changes...I purchased a coach home under the assumption that River Strand would be a private community upon completion of community by Lennar...
We believe that a small increase in our quarterly fees to make the club private will be paid back by the expected increase in property values if we were a private course.
I am disappointed to see non residents using our Pickle courts and inviting other m Non residents to play with them. I personally witnessed this last Tuesday evening.
Tenants should not be allowed to play in our club championship. Transfer fees should be monthly. Club should be private. The Board should act on the committees recommendations and they don't do this all the time. Why have committees if the Board doesn't listen to them.
Ray and Gloria Fiday, agreed, our transfer fee is at least 10 years behind the times. Also a surcharge for non-resident golf is usual and customary. Our biggest issue is that residents should NEVER be denied T-times. Chelsea must be modified or replaced.

I am for keeping the Golf; Club House(restaurant, pools.etc) private, as well as the tennis courts. We have had a lot of trouble with non-residents gaining entry, which some of which has had a negative impact, as far as vandalism.
