Restoring Lakes course ‘a pipe dream,’ lawyer says
By Paul Mariniak | Ahwatukee Foothills News |
Reconstructing the Ahwatukee Lakes Golf Course without new houses “is nothing but a pipe dream,” attorneys for The True Life Companies last week told the Arizona Court of Appeals.
The brief filed by attorney Chris R. Baniszewski on behalf of True Life marks the end of the first phase of the appeal that the company is taking from Superior Court Judge John Hannah’s January 2018 ruling that the covenants, conditions and restrictions governing the 101-acre site mandate the reconstruction of the course, which owner Wilson Gee closed in 2013.
Filing of the brief sets the stage for a possible legal argument later this year, although it is unclear when that might occur. It also comes as Save the Lakes prepares for a town hall on the long-running case at 10 a.m. Saturday, March 9, at Ahwatukee Recreation Center, 5001 E. Cheyenne Drive, Ahwatukee.
