Plans for Beaumont Property Reviewed

[champion6]

From the online news site:

"A plat received preliminary approval Tuesday for 405 homes on the Beaumont property across County Road 466A from Pinellas Plaza and next to Trailwinds Village.

"Homes will include 271 detached single-family dwellings and 134 townhouses on 154 acres. Construction of the first phase would be completed by the end of 2020.

"At a meeting of the Wildwood Planning and Zoning Board, Special Magistrate W. Grant Watson recommended the plat for City Commission approval. The commission likely will consider it later this month.

"Portions of the site along CR 466A and County Road 462 are slated for hotel, institutional or commercial development."

Plat attached.

Is this a Villages project?

:ohdear: That's why I didn't try to provide a link.....:icon_wink:

[Blondesare]

Thanks, I saw that in the article. I was wondering who the home builders were going to be?

Yep.

Here comes the kids. Not that I don't like kids but I like the peace and quiet realized without them. I also heard they are building a bunch of apartments on Powell north of 466A, not sure if that's true but I did hear it from a source that wishes to remain anonymous. Makes Fenney an even better place to be, at least for me.

Just imagine, you were living in Tamarind Grove, your beautiful pasture view has been replace with a LOwes, and the backside of a strip mall-we're very thankful we don't care about real estate value- but to our neighbors--very sorry for your loss--this kind of expansion doesn't benefit anyone

When your neighbors bought their houses next to an open area along 466a, they knew that area would be developed. Many of us are thrilled to see the new stores opening up.

This isn't a Villages expansion, this is private enterprise taking advantage of a very valuable piece of property. There is a large parcel of land for sale adjoining the village of McClure right on 501, it's not as large, I believe 40 acres, but from what I understand it's zoned commercial, I have no idea why TV just didn't pay the price and buy it when they bought everything else down here, I'll like it if they put a few retail businesses in there but the people who are building homes around it won't be happy.

If there's a vacant piece of land someone will buy it and build be it Houses, Apartments or Commercial. The Villages tried to buy this piece but Wildwood didn't like what TV had in the plans to build there.

[JoMar]

As TV continues to grow and more commercial business's move in there will be a growing need for workers. TV is a 55 and over so it's not an option. As more outside developers build housing that isn't restricted it provides an avenue for attraction of workers. Part of the business plans (think all those stores you want here...Costco, Trader Joe's etc.) is the availability of labor. These developments can help that.

Since we came in 07, first rule was never buy a home that backs up to empty property. Pretty trees and cows can turn into anything.
Friends live there, First was the dirt from the build, which is not over with, second is the trucks unloading inventory, and last the lights from the parking. Can’t tell you how many times they have said we should have listened.

And always check with the county to see where the sewage disposal facility will be located, they gotta be somewhere.

First phase to be completed in 2020? If The Villages was doing the building the whole thing would be finished by next summer.

Danged straight. I think that Wildwood shot themselves in the foot on this deal, not going along with The Villages. Lot of Village envy I think, just like Lady Lake used to be and Lake County.

As a Villager in Tamarind Grove, that statement doesn't pertain to me. Wildwood might of gotten more taxes from 2000 homes, but for me it would of been like Pine Hills and LaBelle but on the west side. That's about 4,000 more people at same amount of stores. I certainly prefer what we've gotten instead, Lowes, ABC Liquor, Aldis, Circle K and soon to come Jersey Mike's, Publix, Taco Bell and Wendys.

Another poster earlier said watch for all the kids when referring to the 400 homes to be added on the corner by a separate developer. In comparison, Bison Valley and Villages of Parkwood both off CR 101 (Belvedere) is 300 homes total with no age restrictions and I never see any kids at Southern Trace Shopping Center.

As far as pasture views, there's only one street of cottages and one street of designer homes that can relate to those views, the rest of Tamarind Grove is landlocked just like Buttonwood and Pennecamp. My views are of a golf course, some of Tamarind Grove is on the east side of St. Charles and we have two executive courses, Southern Star and Yankee Clipper.

My view is, bring on the development, that's my biggest complaint about this place, not enough commercial business without driving 9 miles to 466 or 441/27. My parents lived in Hernando County in Spring Hill in a gated retired community called Timber Pines. Right outside their gate was US Hwy 19, a 6 lane divided road all the way to St. Pete, (60 miles) of non-stop businesses. If there is anything you want, you'll find it on Hwy 19.
