Another good question, this one I'm not 100% sure on the answer as I focus my efforts on the areas south of CR466.

As I understand it, the districts north of CR466 at some point in their history made the decision to be responsibility for their own district properties and not have a interlocal government agreement for common maintenance and benefit. CDD4 being in Marion County may have had some play in this decision due to all the road residential road maintenance fall to the district unlike in Sumter County were only the villa roads fall to the district for maintenance.

As for amenities, the original amenities sale (north of CR466) was followed by a law suit with some damages awarded and the establishment of the AAC.

Again, I'm no expert on the north end, I only looked into the history and studied it's workings for a short while 4 years ago after I moved to The Villages. I didn't dwell on it much after I realized it organization and operations were basically irrelevant to the working south of CR466 where I live. No offense is meant to the residents north of CR466 but it is sufficiently different and separate to south of CR466 that it didn't matter much to me to learn. I have too many other thing rattling around in my head to try to recall all these old details at this point.

What is important to all of the residents both north and south of CR466 is that there are agreements in place requiring equal treatment and access regardless of the amenity and residence location. The easy example of what cannot happen is that someone golfing on the opposite side of CR466 of where they own a home cannot be charged a $5 cart fee while someone from the amenity side of CR466 is only charged $4. This kind of treatment cannot occur.

If someone knows the facts (not an opinion or an "I think") on exactly what transpired and why north of CR466 please educate us all.

Sorry I can't provide a better answer.
