Three acres for a pool? Take a look around. I think that most of the pools including buildings take up less than an acre. Walking paths can be done around the building without taking up a lot of sq footage.
And where does the 286 apartments come from? I've heard the number 300 apartments as well. As far as I know the application is for 265 apartments. The restaurant, and rec room can be located on the first floor. A golf shop is not necessary as the starter shed can handle everything that the golf shop did except for selling merchandise which no one ever bought anyway. If they want a shop, they can erect a small building adjacent to the starter shack.
Like many people hear are saying, these people have done so many things well in the past, I would expect them to do a good job of this as well.
I do have some reservation about the additional traffic however. Maybe it's time to widen Morse and construct of the road golf cart paths for its entire length.
