you posted, "Each of Districts 1-5 will have the choice of ignoring the deed restriction or enforcing it." so am i correct in assuming that the bottom line to riling up all of the concerned realtors and villagers is that nothing has changed and each of the districts will still be allowed to govern themselves through the wishes/wants/needs of their residents; and that the villagers who do not live in the impacted cdds and the developer will not have any impact on their decisions?

what i have not yet seen is the resolution to the developer's action to eliminate all real estate signage effective june 15th. are the impacted cdds still permitted to display real estate for sale signs until such time as they hold a meeting/vote on the matter or are they still strangled by the developer's edict?


njbchbum....This is what I took away from the CDD Workshop....Janet Tutt (Villages District Staff) stated that the district is not going to enforce the ban at this time. They also previously sent letters to some residents advising them of fines. She stated that this was an ERROR. No resident should have gotten a letter and no fines will be imposed at this time. Each of the 5 CDD's was asked to further discuss this matter at their upcoming individual CDD meetings and give a recomendation (whether to enforce the ban or not) back to Janet Tutt. So,for now, we are back to complaint driven deed compliance.
