Two Ahwatukee Foothills residents and members of Save the Lakes have filed a lawsuit against the owners of the closed Ahwatukee Lakes Golf Course, hoping to get an injunction from the court that would force the owners to restore the land to its former condition.
The lawsuit claims the owners of the course violated the CC&Rs for the land by closing the course. The two plaintiffs in the case, Eileen Breslin and Linda Swain, are not asking for monetary damages. They are asking the court to find the course owners in breach of contract and order them through an injunction to restore the land to a golf course.
Tim Barnes, attorney for the plaintiffs, said the CC&Rs (Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions) over the land are a contract between the landowner and those who benefit from it.
