I'm not sure why this thread is in the "Lifestyles in the Villages" area...shouldn't it be in the "Non Villages Discusion area"? In fact, why is this thread still active? The OP has now stated the meeting in question (I THINK this meeting applies to his concerns?????) is only open to Stonecrest Residents? Amazing...............

The entire southern border of Stonecrest has a 30 yard wide strip of land that is owned by the Stonecrest POA. The POA has granted the electric company a right of way for their power lines that run the entire length of that border on towers that are erected on Stonecrest’s property. This right of way does not preclude the use of that land by the POA or its residents provided that doing so does not interfere with the electric company’s use.

There are signs along the fence line that remind Stonecrest to keep their dogs on a leash and pick up after them.

I think they may change the sign to read "keep dog on leash in hand". May be too expensive to do, and hopefully forgetaboutit. Leashes these days get slippery.

I was wondering the same thing Chuck. That area shown in the attachments seems much better as a temporary gathering place (leashes still required).

I too don’t know what Silvertoken is trying to accomplish with this post. In the meantime here are a few thoughts for him from a fellow Stonecrest resident:

You knew that Stonecrest has a strictly enforced leash policy when you purchased here.

The entire Stonecrest community plans, including every one of the planned amenity facilities was laid out over a decade ago. Those plans as well a scaled three dimensional layout is available for viewing in the sales office near the front gate. No such gated dog park was ever planned or contemplated.

So what you’re club is asking for is that the residents of Stonecrest should pay for the building of a capital improvement recreational facility that was never planned for.

Keep in mind that for many years, the garden club was using a plot of land owned by the developer for irrigated vegetable beds. But the developer now has a buyer of that land and when he offered to instead lease the property to the garden club with club funds, they folded up and walked away. So if the developer has not yet closed the deal with the prospective owners, maybe your dog club can lease the area instead. It’s already fenced and it’s got water too.

I guess because some attended Villager's grandkid stuck his hand through the fence and got dog feces on it??? No idea, really.

Never trust a baby with many strange dogs Doug. Many parents would agree with me.
