My wife's been telling me about this thread for the last few days, so we decided to see what the real story was. Took a ride down to Springdale.

Happinow has a pie shaped lot on a cul de sac. Unfortunately for her, the best, unobstructed view does not align with the placement of the house. The view looking straight out the lanai/pool crosses not one but two adjacent lots. She needs to look out the Lanai to the right to see an unobstructed view, which as she said is limited because the lot is lower than the course, especially in that direction. Saw the orange line on the other property, and yes she is going to loose the best view. Even saw the guy with his two dogs walking them on the street chatting with some neighbors.

As I see it, Happi is going to have a tough time convincing this fellow to be a "good"(for her) neighbor because he isn't even the closest neighbor that could obstruct the view, and he lives in the next cul de sac. Not like they will be bumping into each other every day picking up the morning paper.

Happi paid a lot of money for the lot and the house and it's a shame that she thought she was getting a great view.

I also live on a golf course. I paid $16,000 more than Happi did for her lot but got a much better view (championship course green, big oaks, eastern exposure, no cart path and large water hazard). We walked our street for weeks, if not months, knowing the lots would be released soon, trying to determine which lot was "the best". Every night my wife would drag me down there to walk each prospective lot to see which view was unobstructed. Which lot would accommodate the model we chose. Which lot would fit a golf cart garage. Which lot would have room for a pool. Also used the Sumter county plats, which were available even before the lots were released, if you knew where to go to get them, to determine dimensions, easements, drainage and utility box placements. The day the lots were released, we got our first choice of five potential lots. My point is, sometimes you luck into a great view but due diligence insures it.

I hope Happi can realize that this guy is entitled to do what he intends, as I see it. She is on the next block over, even though their properties touch, with another property in between. He also paid a lot of money for his lot and view as well. If for some reason he were forced to remove a "hedge", a plethora of non hedge sugar palms would not be any better for the view from Happi's lanai.

I've been very lucky. We have a villa wall behind us and the people on the villa side have dogs. I hear them bark once in a while but it is attended to quickly. I have spolen to these people over the wall and they seem great. Happinow has concerns about the dogs and her view. I hope it works out to her satisfaction.

Okay, I have a few quick questions for the people with dog "issues"....

When you went for your "LSV" did you not see dogs? Did you not see the dogs in the town squares? Did you happen to notice that some of them were wearing dresses and eating in the restaurants? Did you see people riding with the dogs in their golfcarts? How about some of them actually have the dog's name on the golfcart-did you notice that?

Now, let's get to the houses, did you see how many houses have the dog's name on the light post?

Did you know the builder is okay with dogs? Dogs are welcome in the sales office, Southern Lifestyles and any business owned by TV. (IMO, they'd be okay with gorillas if you spend enough-LOL)

So, after noticing all this what made you think this would be the place for you? DUH, hate to break it to you, but if you have "issues" with dogs, you may have a "broken picker".

Trust me, you'll all have "quite" soon enough.

Apparently the OP lives on the left side curve of a cul de sac. The landscaping neighbor lives on the right side curve of the next cul de sac over. (The next street) Therefore, there backyards converge. She doesn't seem to have a straight golf course view.

The description above is correct. The straight out, unobstructed view looks at the raised tee boxes. A view looking down the fairway looks through the two neighbors yards.

I suffer from Cynophobia, (fear of dogs). This is a malady that I have suffered from my entire life. With all the money I have spent on treatment, I could afford one of those expensive golf course lots. I sometimes feel trapped in my own home. I don't really feel relaxed at either of the squares. Yes, I noticed all the dogs during our "LSV". This is my problem, I deal with it daily. I DO have a dog problem. Please do not expect me to enjoy yours ,or anyone's dog.
