I guess that's the end of the story.

I contacted the Havana Country Club today and they said they had this best food and service in the three county area without a doubt!
Assuming the post is as sarcastic as it appears, what do you expect them to say? Or better yet, what do you want them to do? They purchased/leased the land. They developed the plan for the facility and it was approved by Sumter County. They have followed the rules for putting the facility together. A landscape barrier seems like a reasonable solution to the privacy concern.

I understand the feelings of the homeowners there, but there is an inherent risk in buying property that has an undeveloped area nearby. Unfortunately, verbal assurances are only worth the paper they are printed on, and zoning can be changed. To me, it appears Sumter Place is trying to be good neighbor.
