45 New Apartments??
The recent article documenting the Lady Lake town board meeting addressing the Developer’s request for approval of seven apartments said that at one point the Developer said they would ultimately request approval for 45 apartments around the Spanish Springs town square!!
At the same ratio of parking to apartments, there would be very few if any parking spaces available for parking at Spanish Springs events, the car show drive-ins, for the restaurants and other retail establishments, etc. Clearly, the MVP health club and theatre property would be closed and replaced with apartments.
In fact, that announced plan calls into question whether the Developer intends to continue Spanish Springs as a resident-welcoming entertainment, dining and shopping venue at all. The answer appears to be NO!
That statement by the Developer is a clear cut statement of their intent to ‘re-purpose’ Spanish Springs to a residential neighborhood rather than a location for resident entertainment and dining.
Is that what we want for Spanish Springs? Is that what we were promised when we bought into The Villages? I don’t think so.
