Attached is a Screen Shot of the Sumter County GIS system, of a typical area in The Villages. Please note, "property lines" do not extend to the paved portion of the road. Property lines are typically at least 10' from the actual paved portion of the roadway and that land does not belong to the homeowner (I'm getting conflicting stories, whether it belongs to TV or the County ... my guess is that TV owns it) Whoever owns it, it is part of the road layout (taking) and the public has the right to use it.
Per Sumter County regulations, most Roadways in the county are now a minimum of 50' in width, with 24'-26' being paved. TV is a little different, as it's permitted as a planned community.

Re-read your post #31. My assumption/understanding remains. The land/dirt/sand of X width that surrounds the perimeter of the home, regardless of who holds the easement/roadway/right-of-way/mineral rights, etc, has the right/authority to access that area as necessary, for specific purposes/reasons. The developer put in grass an sprinklers to the curb/sidewalk/ back wall. I bought , as part of this purchase, the grass and irrigation system. That is mine. Like my car, parked on the street, I don't own the street, but I own the car. Emergency service may require the removal of my car and they have the right so to do. The general public
does not have the authority to take advantage of my car.
So, utility workers and emergency personnel welcome 24/7 as necessary. However, dog walker from the villa who doesn’t want Fluffy from defiling her small yard, and decides to use my yard as a dog toilet,
KEEP OFF!
Simple respect for neighbors and their homes and yards and expenses for maintaining it to the best of their ability.
