P. Modification/Rockridge Property Owners Association, Inc. The Board reviewed the following memo dated January 27, 1995: TO: Board of County Commissioners FROM: Terrence P. O'Brien - Assistant County Attorney c�M, DATE: January 27, 1995 RE: Modification Rockridge Property Owners Association, Inc. Ms. Debbie Lethig, Vice President of the Rockridge Property Owners Association, Inc., a not-for-profit corporation has asked that the lease between the Association and the County be modified and extended for a twenty year period. The property under lease is a small clubhouse located in the Rockridge Subdivision. It is my understanding from information supplied by Ms. Lethig that the land was reserved by the developer to .all Rockridge owners as a common area. The residents built the present clubhouse and for reasons lost in antiquity, the property was deeded to the County and leased back to the Association in 1964 for twenty years and renewed in 1984 for 20 more years. There are two terms in the lease which prohibit full enjoyment by the Association. Paragraph 2 of the lease requires that the premised be "open to the public each day, including Sundays and the general public shall have the full right to use said property..." Paragraph 4 prohibits 'the Association from selling, serving or allowing the consumption of alcoholic beverages on the premises. The Association would like to control the premises so that it was, as intended by the Developer, for the primary benefit of the owners in Rockridge. With respect to alcoholic beverages the Association would like to hold functions such as New Year's Eve parties where alcoholic beverages would be consumed. To accomplish the Associations objectives the attached lease has been prepared for Commission consideration with the deletion of paragraph #2, deletion of the "except" portion of paragraph 4 and a commencement date of February 15, 1995, for twenty years. In paragraph 8 the word "public" is replaced by the words "association and its members". Paragraph 9 requiring a yearly report of operation has been deleted as unnecessary. For the county's protection we have added a paragraph requiring insurance. A lease of this nature is permitted under Sec 125.38 F.S. Recommend the lease be approved as amended. ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by Commissioner Tippin, the Board unanimously (4-0, Chairman Macht being absent) approved the modified Lease with Rockridge Property Owners Association, Inc. for a twenty (20) year period from February 15, 1995, as recommended by staff.
