I'm pretty sure the whole reason for these meetings and plans/drawings submissions is so that TV developers representatives
come to Wildwood to "bow down" and ask permission in many, many steps of the submission and approval process over months and years, not the other way around.
However, regarding this statement by the mayor….
"He said he is fearful that Wildwood would lose its identity after The Villages moves in. He said he believes the new residents would have no interest in identifying themselves as Wildwood residents.
“My biggest issue is that it doesn’t meet the current zoning standards,” Wolf said.
….I think if he wants to be taken seriously about "meeting current standards" of construction/zoning, it needs to be remembered that the whole side of Wildwood where TV is going toward on Hwy. 44 is flanked on all sides by tired mobile home parks, some of which lean toward dilapidated. I doubt TV would build anything remotely close to looking like
that.
