They know how to get what they want, and they usually do. I don't think it's unthinkable at all that if the current plan for apartments proves profitable, they wouldn't do it again, and again.

This is what Mr. Holly said in an unscripted moment. I'm paraphrasing this from memory .Speaking about the 8 acre Hacieida Hills site "after all the developer owns that land. They can do whatever they want with it. They could have placed a 100,000 ft retail store on that site and the traffic would be much worse".
Yes, the chief staff member of Planning and Zoning for Sumter County said this. This was after the period for public comment so no citizen had the opportunity to ask him if a retail store was actually an approved use at that site.
