Re: Oswit Agenda Item
We are homeowners at the Mesquite Golf and Country Club which holds a
lease on 120 acres of land that was designated as a golf course when the
condominiums were built. Oswit purchased part of this land knowing it
was a golf course on leased land. Just because Oswit does not want to
operate a golf course doesn't mean nobody else would. The Oswit request
on the agenda is premature considering the Mesquite Golf and Country
Club is currently in a lawsuit which covers all 120 acres that served as
a golf course when the 600 condominium project was built. Additionally,
the City of Palm Springs must first consider the Golf Course Conversion
Ordinance that was established when projects are proposed for this piece
of land. 600 Homeowners comprising The Mesquite Golf and Country Club
are affected by the Oswit purchase of only part of the land that we hold
a lease to with rights and responsibilities and we object to having part
of it changed in any way until this lawsuit is resolved.
