I'm relatively new here (just about 4 years) and bought in the last Village constructed north of 466A. At first I was absolutely astounded at how the developer seemed to have an amazing grasp of the ideal ratio between number of homes built and number of amenities (rec centers, pools, golf courses, ball courts, and so forth). But as building has progressed south of 466A, I became less certain. Take golf, for example. The developer makes money on each round played on Championship corses. So how many such courses were built south of 466A? Three, wth a total of 91 holes. How many executive courses in that same area? Three, with a total of 27 holes. Actually 4 and 36 holes with the new Volusia course opening a month ago. So with 1000 new homes planned in the Fruitland Park area, how many more golf courses will there be over there? Or rec centers? Or pools? Or Town Squares? And how many such facilities foe the proposed 800 new homes in the undeveloped property opposite Pinellas shopping area and Palmetto executive course?
