There was also a matter of false advertising, when the Developer promised free trail fees, free cable TV, free RV storage, free trash pickup, to anyone who purchased before a certain date. The Developer cancelled it all, and were subsequently sued. A settlement created a grandfathering in of exemptions to paying those fees for those homeowners.
Then there was the Paradise Rec Center, which was infested with termites and rodents, and had mold. The Developer (by way of the VCCDD) wanted to wash their hands of it, and were then sued and made to pay to have the old building torn down and replaced with a new one.
The Developer created a BEAUTIFUL community. But they cut corners (so many of you forget the 1000 or so homes with cracked foundations all built after 2008). They've reneged on promises, both verbal and in written advertisements. They have had to be sued in order to be required to live up to their claims.
And now they're suing my town because they want to change the commercial zoning of the Spanish Springs Town Square, which is located in Lady Lake, and turn it into mixed use. They've already been told no. But no isn't good enough for them so they're forcing the town to waste taxpayer money on a lawsuit.
There have been worse "creators/caretakers/overseers" of communities. There ARE worse. But to think the Morse Family is nicey-nicey and never does anything wrong is disingenuous, and frankly the people who make these ridiculous claims glorifying and practically deifying the Morse Family just give this community a BAD reputation of having a majority of residents with their heads stuck firmly in their nether regions.
