Spanish Springs, like the other squares, is NOT an amenity.
The Lofts have apparently been a success and the people living there aren't causing any problems for homeowners. Businesses make decisions on products and services. That's why there is a new BJ's club just down the road from Sam's Club. DId the area really NEED a new buying club, or do choices make people's lives better?
Are 14 parking spaces really going to be the demise of Spanish Springs?
If more people supported the businesses that are there, there wouldn't be enough vacant space to build apartments.
And as someone from NYC, this can't be your first exposure to mixed-use building. Look around next time you go back north.

7 or 14 apts is not the finale. This is just the tip of the iceberg. What would a couple of hundred apts mean for SS?
BTW our village sales rep did call the squares an amenity.
It is amazing to me that when the developer loses some thing they always manage to finesse their way around it and get what they want.
