This meeting was before the Dairy Farm was a done deal and The Villages only had an option to purchase. Mr Lester told the Fruitland Park commission that this was a deal breaker and not open for negotiation. There are now 2,000 homes to be built on the Dairy Farm property. With this investment now going full steam ahead I believe Mr Lester believes it is still not open for negotiation.
A couple of months or so before that meeting was when the wall went up cutting off Stone Crest. I don't think that is a coincidence. Mr Lester would have had a hard time telling the Fruitland Park Commission they could no golf cart access while Stone Crest is allowed into Villages.
Now that the Fruitland Park part of The Villages is now going full speed ahead The Villages will do everything and I do mean everything it can do to keep this the way it is set up at this time.
This is only my opinion.
