The development of PWAC2 has no impact on the amenities for anyone. While the AAC has a say on the amenities north of CR466 (owned by VCCDD) and PWAC has the same responsibilities for the amenities south of CR466 to SR44 (owned by SLCDD) there exists interlocal government agreements that prohibit preferential treatment of residents from any area over any other resident on amenity use, priority, and availability. The amenities south of SR44 are owned by the developer and also fall under these same agreements.
I separated the statement about south of SR44 because there is the perception of preferential treatment for residents south SR44 when it comes to golf carts when they come north of SR44 to play, the developer made a business decision to provide these to their customers south of SR44 until the connectivity is established. The developer is paying for this not the amenity or golf division or any other Amenity Fee/resident funded source. This will obviously be going away very soon when the Water Lily bridge opens.
Your property taxes had NOTHING to do with the Amenities, developing them, or providing them. You did NOT help pay for them. All the amenities south of SR44 are privately developed, built, and owned facilities, owned by the developer. These are another business for them, and they exist to make a profit. We all remember what a profit was, it is what businesses is in business to make, otherwise they go out of business. It is what enabled each of us to amass our retirement nest egg so we could retire and move here.
Bottom line, none of this will have any impact on anyone's ability to use any of the amenities, we are all the same.
