The developer will have control over the golf courses and commercial property inside the core on Parade and lots one (1) through nine (9) in each subdivision. Once all the commercial property is sold control will come back to the association. There will also be discussion regarding owners paying for the mowing of vacant lots. This could come under section 24. George Burger said Clean Site can be put into the Deed Restriction and Sidewalk taken out.
