The massive development will consume hundreds of acres of pastureland located between County Road 466, Cherry Lake Road, Lake Ella Road and Rolling Acres Road. In the coming months and years, it will be transformed into 940 single-family homes, 330 multi-family apartment units and 216 town homes. There will also be 120,000-square-feet of commercial development, 3,000-square-feet of general office space and another 15,000-square-feet of medical offices.
Lady Lake officials have approved the development, but some commissioners remain uneasy with the certain traffic and congestion it will bring to an already overwhelmed area.

This does not appear to be a TV development. Hopefully it will look better than the development already being built along 466 on the right hand side going north. How much more can they cram in here.
At some point, the planning board, if there is one, will have to take a long hard look at what they allowing to happen. When we came here we used to use 101 to get through to 301 and go north to Ocala. Now 101 is a speed track, it used to a pretty unspoilt rural area, now it is just another development. I realize people will say "well you got yours", and I did, but over building in an area will ruin it. Maybe not right now, but it will become less and less desirable.
