Seacrets gets the right of first refusal; total cost in first year of less than they were prepared to pay in prior lease; right to retrain their seating tables, bathrooms, storage, sound wall, etc., all built on OPA property without permission.

Hi Joe,

I haven't been reading this thread much .....as I got "MEGO" a LONG time ago.

BUT...I don't see where "right of first refusal" is such a huge deal.

What IS A BIG DEAL to me is .....did they give us more parking area to make up for the part they have taken without permission?????

I am STILL really aggravated about what happened to me last July 4th at about 11:30 AM when the OP lot was full. I went over to Seacrets and their spaces were pretty much empty.

The parking fellow would not allow me to park on one of their spaces. I asked him about the area where they had built on OP property. I wanted to park in front of the hill that they made. IT IS OURS.  Everything back to the water is ours.

He wouldn't let me do that and I didn't want to ruin my day by getting into some sort of bit hassle, so I left. ( I actually found a legal space at the new condo next door to OP! )

I want to be sure that we have gotten more space for what THEY TOOK from us without asking.

Since you have the lease ...and I don't want to read all the stuff that has been written here.....could you please tell me that?

At this point ...our fair share of parking is the only thing that really matters to the membership. I am just glad that the scare of the "99 Year Lease" is OVER.

I am still trying to figure out how anyone thought that was a good deal for us.

Thanks.

Nancy
