The Villages - Development Plan

[villages07]

An item in the newspaper the other day caught my eye... at the most recent Sumter County Commissioners meeting, they voted on a proposal to amend the CDD 8 boundaries. So, I started digging around the Sumter County website and uncovered some interesting info.

First, the recent amendment is for 28 acres to be added to CDD 8. The parcel is accessible from 466 just about halfway between Buena Vista and Morse (south side of 466). There used to be buffalo in this field. If you've driven the cart trail on 466, this is the place where you hit a stop sign and there is a driveway but only a field beyond. There will be 53 dwellings in there and infrastructure construction is planned for 2010.

Secondly, they've reconfigured the boundaries for CDD 9 and 10. 9 is now the north half of the area below 466a and 10 is the southern half (they used to be aligned east and west). What this also revealed was CDD 9 will have 5,040 lots and is planned to have the infrastructure developed from 2010-2013. CDD 10 will have 5,563 lots and infrastructure construction is 2011-2014. So, that's a total of 10,603 houses to be built south of 466A.

This can be found on Sumter county website, agendas and minutes, and clicking on attachments for various agenda/minutes items.

So... almost 11,000 units south of 466A and problably 2,000-3,000 units still to be built north of 466A. If they sell 2,500 houses a year (just a WAG) that's about 5.5 yrs or almost 2016 before all is done. Who knows what the future holds???

Interesting info. There is still some property not owned by TV that is completely surrounded by TV. An odd piece of land here and there. And then some owned by GTMJ Investment Group (ironically with an address of 1020 Lake Sumter Landing). These are north of 466 but if you search south of 44 (where TV will supposedly end) you will also find some property here and there owned by TV (or at least a business with a mailing address of 1020 Lake Sumter Landing).

On Wednesday May 12th at 7:00 P.M., this will probably all be explained by Mr. Mark Morse when he makes his 'annual appearance' at the Savannah center.

V07, thanks for the info. I've read that the average household size in TV is 1.89 people. You've identified say, 13,600 lots. So theoretically that would add approx. 25,700 more people. If there are 80,000 now(?), the lots you identified would put TV pretty close to the projected 110,000 buildout. Very interesting.

I am betting along with those who think that those developin' Morses are going to dig a golf cart tunnel under the turnpike.

Heck that would be fine with me. More people to meet, more restaurants, more houses to see, more fun.

Posts like this make me happy that the Villages intrusion into Marion county was minimal. Let them continue to build south. I like the peace and quiet of the north side.

Graciegirl,
I agree with you 100%. Let the beauty of TV continue for all to enjoy...Have a great day...

We just bought a lot (in March) :MOJE_whot: in CDD 8 (on Claverton near the new Fishhawk Rec Center) which - I am SURE is entirely west of Buena Vista... We are still babes in the woods about these things, though, so could someone clarify this for us? :confused: How can this district be accessed between Morse and Buena Vista if it is centered on the western portion of St. Charles Place (west of Bailey Trail)?

CC.... if you can dig up the revised CDD 8 map, you will see this lonesome new parcel up at 466 between BV and Morse and the rest of CDD 8 down where you are. It does look strange. The only street access will be from 466...can't imagine if/how they will create a golf cart cut thru to Winifred or Bridgeport so golf carts will have to go out on 466 trail to get to the rest of the Villages.

From the street layout, hard to tell what might go in there. My guess is designers .... 53 units on 28 acres, including roads and rec areas is not enough for premiers and it doesn't look like a villa layout. Some lots will have views of the Palmer golf course.

North of 466A to be built out in about a year.

Total developer sales for remaining units to be built around $3 Billion.

Why would they amend CDD 8 if the property is physically located in CDD 5?....gn

[villages07]

Mr Nut... I wondered that too. My best guess is that since CDD8 is still actively being developed (and CDD5 is done) it made things easier as far as the legal stuff and bond issuance goes.
