I've been to pools and rec centers on several occasions where no one has asked for my ID. In fact some of the pools only have a staff member check every hour or so and even then, unless they see something very suspicious they don't go around and check IDs. Those are certainly not public facilities.
I don't know about the cart paths or multi modal paths in the Villages. Are they considered public facilities or are they paid for with our amenity fees?
Isn't the cart path at the end of the bridge through the dog park an amenity support path?
If the lot is deeded to the VHA does it not become an amenities supported path?
Isn't it the duty of the VHA to see to the needs of Villages residents? Why should they be concerned about people from outside the Villages?
As far as making it an extension of Paradise Dr., I believe that would require that cars be allowed to pass through. If the town or county owned it, what would prevent them from selling it as a house lot?

I understand the concern, but really they have a beautiful pool in Stonecrest already. Would you really want to drive that distance to go into our pools when you have one so close to home? They have their own clubhouse and golf course as well. We have even golfed over there and it was very nice.

Granted they may come to the town squares to shop or listen to the music but so can many others as they are public and anyone can drive there. Heck, before we bought our house we spent 4 years coming on vacation and did the same. We rented a cart and used the paths and stayed at the hotels. I don't think we were awful, but were checking to see if we wanted to move here. We looked at Stonecrest as well. In the end, we chose the villages because we had MANY golf courses to choose from, and Stonecrest only had one.

I guess I am saying there are many outsiders using "The Villages" in one way or another. You never know, one of those outsiders may become your neighbor someday!
