Page I have personall}• attended four of the meetings of this Park Committee, and m}~ business partner attended one ~~•ith me as ~~•eli. We have both voiced our professional opinions (he with years Real Estate experience and I with ?2 }'ears Accounting experience) rejecting Luchau's design for this area. However, in spite of the innumerable contradictions and flaws pointed out to Luchau, particularly the blatant financial fiasco this project would turn into, he was still adamant about his personal agenda for this site, with two committee members who are not even property o«•ners (one of whom has obvious political motives) being the most hostile and aggressive supporters of this "Luchau's Path To Nowhere." Atone of the committee meetings I attended, after verbally informing the General Hui Member- ship of the difficulties within this committee in the November Sunda}• meeting, Luchau performed a "round table" hearing of the other property owner's opinions. No vote was mentioned during our atten- dance, and }'et Luchau was the onl}• individual «•ho indicated that he wanted afull-on paved parkin this area ~;'ithin the ne~a t~~•o years, certainly much of the ~~•ork done by Jul}', 1~. By the folio«•ing meeting, only attended by six or so individuals, the asphalt path public park plan was the one being selected for the grant proposal. At that same meeting, Luchau ~•as given a letter from my business partner, a Real Estate Broker, which basically panned his whole concept as being not in conformance ~~•ith the Master Plan and not in accordance with property owner wishes. This letter was apparently shown to committee member Rene Siracusa but nobod}' else. Also, Luchau has received all of the enclosed information which I am forwarding on to you for your revie«•. Sir, at this time my business partner and I are having to take time out of our professional capaci- ties in order to take the steps of contacting fellow-property owners for their support and input, a step which Luchau seems to have glossed over or avoided in order to gain full control over this committee and this 31-acre parcel in question. Personally, I am of the opinion that he and Siracusa have other agendas at work in violation of the new policy adopted at the last general hui meeting. Item ly, Section III, Stan- dard of Conduct clearly indicates what the Federal requirements should be as far as personal gain from being on such a committee. We are a Hui fraught «•ith legal complications and to invite and encourage hostilit}' toward propert}• owners by setting up outside individuals ~;•ith po«•er o~•er Hui members and our community propert}' is not in our best interests at this time. Also, since Luchau has recently pur- chased a 20-acre parcel in Eden Roc, according to public records, his potential for misusing his position within a committee that has anything to do with development, paving, or othern•ise is extremely' high. Since I understand that this committee chairperson position is appointed b}' the President of the Nui, and since I am so familiar with this 31-acre parcel as well as so many other factors «•hich seem so needed at this time, I would like to offer m}• humble ser<•ices in sen-ing as Committee Chair of the Park Committee in place of Luchau. His antagonistic, one-sided, narrow view of our community lands is definitely outdated, unaffordable, and potentiall}' cause for subsequent lawsuits as well. By not conform- ing to the Master Plan in all its aspects, which property' owners and investors review and rely on in selecting their home/investment property, as well as being so blatantly callous toward the credible, pro- fessional opinions of fellow property owners, Luchau is literally inviting upon us as a Hui more time in court with property owners suing over such factors as "loss of equit}'", "loss of quiet enjoyment'', and, perhaps more so, time spent in court tr}'ing to affix mandator}' Park maintenance fees upon property owners. Or, maybe part of Luchau's personal agenda is to later combine the Park committee «•ith the Road~•a}' committee and in that ~•a}' just lump all those fees together on the sl}•. Who kno«•s. Onl}• Luchau, apparently. .
