Anytime a great number of additional residents are added to a population that share amenities, there is a logical question about whether this addition will upset the established expectation about access to the shared resources.

From the quoted newspaper article, it appears that the plan would include "a golf course". I assume/hope that this is an executive course since there have been no additional exec courses added to the master plan despite significant additions to residential units over the past years. If it is an executive course, there would be additional demand on championship courses without additional resources being added to meet that demand.

Will there be any additional large rec centers with sports pools and fitness centers? Those at Colony and Seabreeze are already over-burdened and from what I have heard, the new one (Eisenhower) will not have a fitness center. If that trend continues and with thousands of additional residents being added to the plan, it is premature to say that there will be no impact on us.

Even traffic/safety could be impacted. There is already a problem with golf cart traffic trying to cross the street leading to Colony Plaza. This plan would add thousands of additional golf carts that utilize that intersection. Perhaps this could be addressed with a tunnel or something, but until that is covered in the plan, we have a right to question the impacts.

since we belong to a large fitness center up north..it was a great disipointment to see the fitness area at seabreeze...plus extra $$ to use the few machines that are available...its just not a perk on our end..
