Trailwinds Village
 

I noticed in The Daily Sun yesterday an article saying that Wildwood has approved rezoning of 157 acres along 466A for development. The change allows use of the land for a mix of retail, medical, office, residential, and recreational. This property is on the north side of 466A between Buena Vista and Powell Road. Below is the link to the town meeting minutes. Wish I knew how to reduce it to the applicable pages. Anyway pages 75 - 108 are pertinent to this project. I found pages 79 & 98 interesting.

Thanks for posting this.

I welcome the proposed commercial development on that property.

Very interesting reading. We looked at some of those lots on the border of the pasture. We were told that the lots were about a $40,000 more. Figured it was only a matter of time before it was going to be developed. Too much of a risk not knowing what would be built, so we bought a resale designer in the Village Poinciana on a quiet cul-de-sac. Glad we did.

Looking at the maps, I wonder if all of the proposed development will be golf cart accessible? Didn't see any road connections to TV on the maps. Maybe some day there will be a cart trail along the golf course perimeter?

There has been talk of Wildwood becoming GC accessible and also main street which is 301 being moved back one block. Only a matter of time.

Wow!! Thanks for posting this. We just bought in Tamarind Grove and were a little concerned about the lack of shopping/restaurants close by (as compared with 466). It looks like there will be plenty of shopping and retail places just a golf cart ride away!! :gc:

I might have missed something in the reading.........but I don't know that this project will be directly golf cart accessible. TV isn't the developer and if it follows past history, golf cart access from TV will not be provided.

I do recall reading a past meeting agenda(s) from Wildwood that, as DDoug mentioned, providing golf cart access to and from Wildwood has been under discussion. Don't know the current status if it, though.

question
 

Question: Where is Powell Road? If it is west of Buena Vista on the north side of 466A then how far down 466A is it? There are already signs, "St Lukes" or something offering commercial land for sale or lease. Is this the same area you are talking about? thank you

It's noted as CR 139, I believe, on most mapping services. Starts down at The Speckled Butterbean on SR44 and runs north from there.

139
 

Rt 139 & Powell road runs from 466A & County Cntr down to Rt 44. Rt 462 runs north from 466a then heads west to Rt301. It said GC will NOT be allowed to cross 466A and as for Wildwood the County did put a squash on that, However the County Center area will be GC assesable from the S/S of 466. Pinnelas Rd is supposed to go to just e/o the backside of the county center.

Yes, Wildwood powers that be have expressed an interest in golf cart access to the Main Street area. Buried in the project paperwork I did notice reference to golf carts being allowed in the development.
But I tend to agree with you regarding golf cart access from TV and in looking at the maps I can not find a space where they could build a path even if they had permission.

Go ahead...rain on my parade....:cryin2:

This is a very true point. Several Retail Developments around TV have wanted to become golf cart accessible, and have been denied by TV. Case in point my Urology Dr is there across the back corner of Wal-Mart off 466. They got Sumter County permission to cross the County Road, and were going to pay the $66,000 out of their own pocket to make an actual golf cart path for use by them, the Luthern Church down the road, and the Assisted Living on that side of the road. They pressented it to the Morse's and they turned it down and told them that golf cart access to TV was a right for only TV residents and they controll it.

I'm just guessing that commercial rents are higher when the building is golf cart accessible.

GC acc
 

That would be pretty cool for us living near 466A.

I just got done reading the 255 page developemental study. I feel bad for the owners up near Ashley however it looks like they have to provide a nice25 ft buffer and not build lights or buildings that would impact their neighborhood.

We are below the proposed development however it will only be a matter of time before that is sold.

I can't get it to work on my computer for some reason. I don't recall an Ashley Village, Carguy.

I think he means Ansley Path which is a street in Tamarind Grove that borders the new developement

I'm not sure if the plan that is presented reflects reality or just concept, but if the former, those hoping for some big box stores like Lowes or Home Depot may be disapoointed since none of the retail buildings being projected are large enough for this use. Of course those who hate big box places will be elated.

The one thing about the plan that surprised me was the size and scope of assisted/independant living included in the plan.

I believe there's anticipation of a shopping area being planned on down by Brownwood that's to include some larger stores. Here's a link:

Opps!
 

Sorry Gracie and others! It was late. The homes effected are on or near Ansley Path and HopeSpring Loop. Must have had furnitue on my mind.

In that 255 page report are some very detailed color maps. As well as other information.

report
 

And I hope for the good residents of TV that they move those taller buildings down to the lower sections. I believe the Oak trees up there are going to be saved.

Quite a read of the environmental study in that report pertaining to a Eagle Nest and to wildlife pathways.

I read also that if the build is not started within 24 months the project can be sent back to another review or rejected?

Update on Trailwind Villages North of 466A and West of Sandhill Golf Course:
Summary:
The project site comprises 157.02 acres located on the north side of CR-466A, between CR-
462A/Powell Road and S Buena Vista Boulevard. The property has CMU (Central Mixed Use)
future land use designation. In February 2012, the property was rezoned from CMU to PD
(Planned Development) by City of Wildwood Ordinance No. 2012-07. The City's
comprehensive plan and code requires CMU properties to be rezoned/master planned to PD in
order to develop them.

The applicant is requesting a comprehensive plan amendment to designate the property as a
RAC (Regional Activity Center) pursuant to Chapter 380.06(2)(e) of the Florida Statutes and
Rule 28.24.014(10) of the Florida Administrative Code, along with a corresponding
amendment to the PD zoning approval in order to develop the property with approximately 450
residential dwelling units (assisted living/skilled nursing and independent living), 500,000 sq.ft
of commercial sales, and 200,000 sq.ft of commercial office uses. Additional density/intensity
is allowed pursuant to the RAC thresholds for a mixed use development, however it is not
anticipated that the maximum intensity will be achieved based on the proposed uses. The
attached RAC map exhibit provides the conceptual mixture of uses. The Trailwind section starts about page 18 of the following:

Very interesting for the 466A road. I noticed a retail store of 55000 square feet on the drawing. Be nice if it were a Costco.

But what I found interesting is the first part of the 255 pages. The big area south of SR 44 to the turnpike. Some 2300 acres of development over 20 years. I had mentioned in an earlier post I thought it was something Morse might get into but someone beat him to the punch

I believe the golf cart accessability issue is not in any way a deal breaker. If you drive through the parking lot of Walmart on 466, you'll see the cars outnumber golf carts at least 10-1. The big box stores will not be concerned about gc access. Are you telling me that if Costco, Trader Joes, Whole Foods or Meijer goes in there you wouldn't shop if you had to get there by car? IMHO only the smaller businesses need the gc access.
