Default POA Bulletin

The POA Bulletin carried two articles of interest on page 1,2,4,16.

On page one the POA made reference to a June 20 article carried by the Daily Sun pertaining to the Developer (The Villages Lake-Sumter, Inc.) maintaining ratios with amenities resulting from its continuing expansion.

As I recalled the Daily Sun in an article expanding on information of the addition of Fenny, Southern Oaks, etc indicated that upon completion it would comprise population wise 1/3 of The Villages. None of the forementioned articles reference this %

A village resident Mike Burns made an inquiry as to the concern for overcrowding. And the POA responded making reference to the Developer's attention of a homes to facility ratio. essentially then it appeared as if the issue of overcrowding was asked and answered.

However my question is what number was used to determine this ratio? An amenity is charged to every household . Is 1.8 average used per household perhaps 2.0? Do these numbers accurately reflect the reality and the actual use of facilities by residents, renters and guests?
My only point is the ratio developed by the Developer could be faulty??

The second article had to do with water conservation. Again averages are based on a head count. so that a one person home average use is overstated and a 3 person home perhaps understated?

the explanation for the 10% surcharge was wanting. One of the responses was the one thing they the utility could not control was consumer use. Yet in that same article Janet Tutt side stepped the bottling company issue. if water conservation is such an concern then the impact statement long ago would have prevented the Developer from continuing expansion

Once again i am left with more questions than answers????
