First of all, say you buy a lot close to the dog park and want to play golf on the 4 executive golf courses, or llive on the North end of moyer loop by the new recreation center, and want to play Belle Glade.



They did not put a golf cart trail from the closest street through that would connect up to Pope Drive getting to the 4 golf courses or vice versa. I saw a perfect place for an easement, as the street closest to the dead end street could have an easement dropping down to the next street, leading to Pope. If you don't do it now, it will make a lot of homeowners angry down the road.



Why in heavens name would you drive all the way around Moyer Loop, rather than having a small cutoff to get to the 4 clubs, or for that matter, just to Sarasota Golf Area and driving range, or down to Belle Glade.



Developers: It is not too late to put an easement in, leading from one street to another, to cut off a good 5 minutes or more travel time, not to mention the dangers of traveling on narrow Moyer Loop, when all the houses get put in, it will be a huge mistake, that should be taken care of now!



Secondly, have you noticed that it is a sea of homes, so different from the rest of the villages. What about golf views, or a park view. No, it is a sea of houses backing up to others. No parks or natural green areas that they could easily build. Has the almighty dollar gotten so important to the Morse family, that they forgot the original look to the Villages of greenery, parks, and trees intermingled with homes and tranquility. This is not the way people want to live. I beg of you the Morse family, Fix it now, before you sell all the lots off! Stop worrying about how much money you are making, and add some landscaping and beautiful parks or small garden areas to look at.



The fact that there are literally no trees on the South end. The Villages needs to add more trees not only to the golf courses but to the Villages themselves and the Dog Park. Such a shame. Do they really think people want to sit in the hot sun whether summer or winter, and bake on a bench, with no relief in sight for themselves or from the elements? And what about the pets? you know dogs love to sit in the shade under trees. Have you seen our dog park? Not a tree in sight. Such a darn shame, Someone just doesn't get it, do they?


Moyer loop will be a dangerous road for people driving carts. All the neighborhoods funnel onto Moyer with North and South Moyer the only entrance/exit. Moyer will be very very busy. Moyer including Hillsborough Trail should have had a multimodal.
