If, in the almost impossible to comprehend scenario that Ocean Pines Association, Inc. decided to build a walkway from the parking lot of the bayside property to the bay then, IMO, we would need the permission of our tenant.

OK, so you believe OPA would need Seacrets permission, just as you said at the board meeting. If the lease were for parking use only, with mention of other uses only for the existing encroachment by Seacrets on our property, we could build the walkway without seeking permission from Seacrets. If Seacrets only wants and/or needs the parking, why would OPA sign a lease giving them more?

As for a walkway being farfetched, I don't consider anything farfetched when it comes to what some board may decide. In fact, it might be a good idea to build the walkway. I can't offer an opinion without more information.

Board members, in general, always tend to believe that their thoughts and ideas are the final word, when, in fact, the board majority can change every year and we see new "final word" ideas.

Not having seen the lease agreement, it is difficult to describe any concerns other than any related to what you said publicly at the meeting and what Les Purcell said about the prior lease. Why not just make the new lease public?

By the way, didn't you say you had not seen the final signed lease? If not, how can you address any concerns about the lease?
