Reading very meeting agenda from the April 12 Sumter County Commissioners meeting I see that a public hearing is to be held on April 26, 2011 at 5:00 pm at Colony Cottage dealing with golf carts within a defined retirement community. From what I read they want to make some changes in the wording of a few ordnances as they pertain to current laws. The one that I see that may be of interest is naming of roads that are included or not included in the area defined as a self contained retirement community. Maybe they are planning to put in writing just what roadways (Rolling Acers for example) can and cannot have cart traffic.
Go to the Sumter County Commissioners web site
http://sumtercountyfl.gov/AgendaModu...161/Agenda.pdf and down load the complete PDF file but just to let you know it is 552 pages long but lets you what is going on in the county. Save it to your hard drive and read it off line as it is faster to get through.
References to the golf cart hearing start on page 83.
Also interesting is the attachments regarding a study on placing a traffic light at the intersection of Buena Vista and Talley Ridge Drive. The findings are that a signal is not warranted at this time. What is really interesting is the detail they went throught in this study. This starts on page 453.
