I have seen the same project in many places in The Villages. Is this just some of my fellow Villagers on the committee flexing their muscles? I have been told that many more things get denied since the local districts took over the review.


I am pretty sure that concrete flooring inside bird cages here in TV has always been part of the rules.(south of 466) I am not sure why. I can't think of any birdcages that I have seen without concrete but I have seen some pretty ponds and fountains inside some birdcages, and some streetlight looking pole lamps.


I don't know if you have chosen the contractor who will do your birdcage, but usually they are familiar with the rules and restrictions.
