The OP seems to have documented the meeting effectively so no quarrel there. My question is why the presumption that these changes, if implemented, would gravely alter the lifestyle of TV? Is it because they would be rented and not owned? There are units in Spanish Springs and Glenview that function very similar to apartments but are owned privately. It is reported that 80% of new renters with 12 month leases in The Lofts of Brownwood are previous owners in TV. Are these people going to ruin anyone’s life style? Is this worse than thousands of villas purchased specifically as income producing property catering to short term RENTERS. I think not.

Perhaps the OP is simply concerned about the handful of existing residents who actually view this property. And yes, the number is very, very small. Of course such changes are unfortunate for these few, but will it really be that much worse than looking out your lanai and seeing the former HH? The added benefit will be a new restaurant open to all which should satisfy all who complained the HH restaurant was closed. I’m sure the hundreds of golfers there daily will welcome the chance to grab a bite or a beer after the round instead of heading the LSL of SS.

There is a need not driven by the developer but by seniors who live TV who choose to eliminate the risk of an economic downturn, have no maintenance, can predict their living expenses more accurately and wish to congregate with others of like minds.

Let it go. Enjoy the time you have left.
