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.

Yes, Spanish Springs is not an amenity, but LSL and Brownwood squares are owned by a CDD and all the CDD's south of 466 pay for the maintenance like the windmill.
The Lofts of Brownwood were not that much of a success or the developer would not have cancelled plans for building the Lofts of Richmond.
14 Parking spots on the square is problematic because the streets are public. To those who say the streets are owned by the developer then why would he need permission from LL to reserve them?
