I am the "another CDD2 resident" that asked the question about burning. Because homes surround the Polo Fields where the land clearing is taking place, I thought best not to go tramping through someone's yard! That said, the clearing seems to be occurring in an area behind Ballesteros Drive and Iberia Court. Both streets are off Enrique Drive in Village Santiago. At the end of Iberia there is a gap between the houses where you can see the clearing and the burn pile.

We have not asked if the proper permits were obtained for the burning. BTW, there was no burning today, nor did we hear any heavy machinery. One can only hope they are done with at least the clearing part of the project.
