OK. I'm confused. (Not an uncommon situation.) How is this different from the gate erected long ago that had to be torn down as it blocked access to a public road? Don't misunderstand, I'm happy there may be resolution to the problem for Villagers, but what if Lady Lake or some other entity challenges it? What if the new care facility that has advertised golf cart access and now finds its residents will not have access decides it cannot allow carts to traverse the property? And what if Mr. Brown decides likewise since he perceives his property will lose value without cart access?

After reading all these posts, I began to think that the problem isn't access for Stonecrest/Spruce Creek residents, nor is it an attempt to force people to use businesses on TV property. Rather it is because TV is selling/leasing lots for businesses within its boundaries at a premium because of golf cart access and will have a harder time doing so if businesses can buy/lease land outside TV and still be accessible by golf cart. (Fruitland Park comes to mind.) This is why I don't think you'll see a tunnel under 44 below Brownwood unless they buy all that land.
