I am an owner of a condo in the Mesquite Country Club Condominium Homeowners
Association. I have owned this condo since 2001. I have served on the Board of
Directors in the past and am very familiar with the current issues between the HOA
and Oswit Land Trust, the current owner of the former Mesquite Golf and Country
Club. As you should know there is an outstanding lawsuit between the two entities as
to the use of the former golf course property. Negotiations between the two parties
have failed to produce a satisfactory solution and therefore scheduling for the court
date is imminent.
It is my understanding that Oswit has requested what they claim is a "minor" change
in the properties zoning designation. They would like, and it appears that your staff
agrees, to change the status to "NATIVE DESERT HABITAT
AND NATURE PRESERVE." Please know that this is a disguised ploy to influence
the Courts to take their side in the pending case, regardless of the contract issues at
hand.
Please table your decision on this matter until the lawsuit is finalized. An affirmative
decision now would be deemed as support for an uncontrolled wildlife preserve in the
middle of our city and HOA complex.
Thank you,
Craig Korthase
