I believe that Grand Oaks Request for Annexation failed primarily is that GOR is not Contiguous to Lady Lake. One of the prime requisites for annexation is that the proposed plot to be annexed is contiguous with the annexing incorporated entity. Check on Google many quotes.
The GOR opponents lawyer pointed this out to Lady Lakes Council that non contiguous annexations are very rare in Florida.

Also trying to supply water and sewage treatment via non Lady Lake areas would be complex and expensive
