The developer. Those 2 CDD's not only own all the land at both Squares but also own every single Executive Golf Course and every single Rec Center in the Villages.
If you don't believe me, then read the facts listed under "Links" at the top of this page: http://thevillagesfl.blogspot.com/20...executive.html |
That is beside the point. They are still owned by the CDD's, not the Developer. What you seem to be objecting to is the actual membership of the Board of Supervisors - elected versus appointed. That is dictated by FS Chapter 190, not the Developer. As majority landowner, yes, he appoints the Board members to the commercial districts and those numbered districts not yet populated by majority residential landowners.
But, a CDD is still a CDD regardless of the composition of the Board. All 12 CDD's still follow the same rules, regulations and state statutes. Additionally, CDD's are not allowed to reduce the "level of service" when an amenity sale takes place. Therefore, nothing will ever happen to the rec centers or the golf courses.
And, for clarification, they do not own the squares. They only maintain the squares with a maintenance assessment. The commercial properties within the squares pay this assessment. The squares are owned by the Developer, not the CDD's.
