Lady Lake then got in the middle of it because of their public road, from what I can glean from these posts....
NJ, I'm sorry that you are being deliberately misguided on this. But if you want the truth, here it is. If you look at the agenda for tonight's meeting, around in the middle of that document, you'll find the engineering drawings for the approved cart path. There are no gates shown in those very detailed drawings and nowhere in the text of the plan was any such gate mentioned.

So whenever those gates were installed, it was unauthorized just like the wall was. If the gates were vandalized by having the arms removed it was likely by Stonecrest residents. After all, TV does not have a monopoly on hooligans. Nevertheless, it was unauthorized.

And if an approved golf cart throughway does not constitute a right of way through there I don't know what will.
