Jim:
When I first purchased property in Ocean Pines one of the most attractive amenities to many was the equestrian center at the Sports Core. Some actually invested in Ocean Pines because of the well run and attractive stables. Oops! I do not mean to make light of the current concerns around our golf course, but I also remember when its membership was well over 600 and AM tee times were still available to outside players at retail rack rates. If we can not manage the amenity correctly, and in my opinion we have proved that beyond any doubt, then we should lease the operation out to a third party operator who will live or die by the bottom line.

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: When we purchased a property in Ocean Pines in 1995, the prime attraction were ALL the amenities because they added VALUE to our investment and made Ocean Pines an active community, not just a housing development. We appreciated the availability of all the amenities even those we did not use, because we respected the value of them to those who used them. Has anyone looked at the potential DECREASE in resale values if changes are made? Those neighbors who purchased properties on the golf course, paid a premium to the owner. COPE should include in their petition the closing of all the waterways into the canals, converting the tennis courts to gardens and the swimming pools into fish ponds. Ridiculous? Yes! Just as ridiculous as closing the golf course. We had 11 wonderful years in Ocean Pines and treasure the many friends and activities we used. We return for visits and have continued to enjoy OP . It would not be an intelligent decision to change the character of your wonderful community. Hopefully common sense will prevail to preserve and improve the Ocean Pines community, not destroy a 40 year heritage. Jim Shallow |
