I really don't see a problem here. Villagers will be able to use the pool, which will be beautiful, only priority members could use the old one; apartment residents will pay amenity fees, just like the rest of us, but will probably be older and not use most, and even if they do, they pay for them so they should have the same right to use them. There will be a new restaurant for all to enjoy. Before someone says I must be new here and don't know what I'm talking about, I retired at 45 and have been living here for 20 years. This place has grown from 28,000 with no shopping and limited dining to 120,000 and everything you could ever need right here now. The Developer has done wonderful things; beautiful amenities, beautiful downtown areas, plenty of restaurants and shopping, a hospital that thank God they sold to people who actually know how to run one. My point is, yes there are growing pains, yes they will make mistakes, but overall anything they do, they do beautifully which means we live in a beautiful place and our home values continue to go up. Sure, we could use more pools north of 466, but overall, they've done well. You can't please everyone, but they do please the majority which you can see by who makes negative comments here - the same small group over and over again. No place is perfect for everyone, but this place continues to grow because it is perfect for so many to enjoy their
hard earned retirement.
