Golf, Grass or Kiss My A$$

A meeting this week of a group of Boca Teeca residents resulting is a rallying slogan for the approximate 90+% of residents who opposed any amendment of the deed restriction on the ocean breeze golf course, Golf Grass or Kiss My A$$

In addition to giving a pulse of the residents opinion on amending the deed restriction there were a few other news worthy issues:

1) Lennar is not willing to be transparent with their efforts to sell residents on their proposal for a moat with views of rooftops, as they have refused to disclose the contingency terms of their contract to buy the property from Wells Fargo.  Sources have indicated that Lennar is responsible for the decision to close the golf course in their effort to pressure owners to agree to a deal.  This lack of cooperation by Bruce Grundt of Lennar us only solidifying the residents around the rallying slogan, so feel free to email the slogan to Bruce.grundt@lennar.com

2). The self appointed ladders of BTUOA have been unable to turn on the public comment function on their news blog due to the numerous foul comments posted by visitors.  Maybe they should listen to these neighbors who adamantly reject being represented by this self appointed small group of residents?
 * Self appointed leader, Sally Friedman, did state that she opposed the development proposal, but that the city was not interested in acquiring the golf course.  Later that same day the Boca Raton city council had multiple members show interest in having the city cooperate with the beach & park district in acquiring the golf course.  DUH, why is anyone still listening to her?

3) Condo #4 disclosed that they did a poll of their residents and only 2 out of over 160 owners were in favor of any development on the golf course.  This is noteworthy as this was the building that former BTUOA leader Shirkey Svhnuer resided for many years.  It was interesting that several residents in attendance from this building never heard of BTUOA until the meeting and were appalled  to learn that the few BTUOA offcers present were claiming to represent them in discussions with the city and Lennar.

4) A discussion on the process of potentially amending the deed restriction resulted in several opposition opinions, including "why are non-elected residents (BTUOA) even talking to Lennar when clearly there is no interest and this group does not represent anyone but themselves.  Also, there should be a requirement iof transparency by Lennar during this process and all signatures must be required to be notarized, unlike the process by MCZ Centeum almost 10 years ago.

5) Lennar rep. Bruce Grundt is planning to continue his efforts by meeting secretly with selective condo associations in the next few weeks.  Again, it is suggested that Boca Teeca neighbors send emails to Bruce.grundt@lennar.com expressing their complete lack of interest in cooperating with Lennar and their ridiculous moat development proposal.

6) The next meeting of the BTUOA will be the 2nd Tuesday in July and will be held at the community center annex building/near city hall...at the same 2:30pm time, in spite of several suggestions by residents to schedule the meetings after normal business hours so more residents could attend and provide input.  The August meeting is also scheduled for the same location near city hall on the 2nd Tuesday at 2:30pm.
