Remember that the Developer has hundreds of millions of dollars riding on blocking all, or at least part, of the rollback-- thereby protecting all, or at least part, of his sweetheart impact fee. The Developer and his puppets will be doing everything possible to somehow convince at least one member of the EMS team to renege on his campaign promise--thereby blocking or reducing the rollback. Failing that, the Developer and his puppets will do everything possible to delay both the tax rollback and the imposition of the higher impact fee.
The first step is for the Commission to contract for a study of the cost of ALL county infrastructure (not just roads) that will be necessitated by the Developer's massive expansion of The Villages and to calculate an appropriate impact fee to pay for it. That study will have to be done in any case, and there is no reason to delay doing it.
