Developer Asking For Approval To Add Apartments In Spanish Springs City Center
 

The Lady Lake Commissioners will discuss on Wed, Feb 17th, 6 pm, at the Town of Lady Lake Town Hall. The readings were tabled from Nov and Jan meetings. Those with concerns about this added population to the city center should contact the Lady Lake Commissioners and town hall and/or attend the meeting and speak up. Hundreds more people added to city center may cause overcrowding, more need for EMT's and police, and for those with PTSD more problems or outburst. Also what happens when those apartment tenants start complaining about the bands playing, do we stop the music?
Developer just give us back our Katie Belles!

I am surprised they are going forward with more apartments. The Lofts starting pre leasing in February last year and as of 2 weeks ago I heard only about 35% of the apartments are leased.

Good Rumor.


:ohdear:

A rumor in The Villages is often a fact that frequent posters deny. Why the constant denials? I once posted in 2015 that The Villages had bought land south of SR 44 and was planning to build homes down there ( Post titled “South of 44.”) Frequent posters laughed at my post as a rumor. Do you think maybe these people could be professional posters?

Drive by and see how many cars are parked there.

Deny if you want.

"Hundreds" more?

I don't think apartments are a bad idea. The Villages keeps up their properties nicely and if there is no further demand for any other uses, what's the problem?

:boom: Actually it was their Katie Belles! :icon_wink:

Their "Katie Belles" that was losing money every month. They couldn't make money on air conditioning, ice water, and free entertainment. Like any business, they had to stop the bleeding. A good thing was lost as a result of many self-indulgent individuals who thought they had the right to occupy a business and not support it through their patronage.

It was a business that failed. Now the owners want to replace it with apartments and add additional apartments to other unused 2nd story properties, all totaled perhaps 20-25 apartments. Hardly a crowd of hundreds. Parking won't be an issue, KB needed over 180 spaces, unless the apartment dwellers each have 8 cars, things should be OK in this department.

Perspective.. What a wonderful thing.

YES...

Perspective and context are essential to any discussion.

More ptsd, EMT’S and police overwhelmed
 

for about at the most twenty apartments half of them probably single person please take a breath people and only Covid or nuclear attack can stop the music and if Katie belles every opens again I’ll buy the first round of water with lemon

Fake news. All business on second story were leased as developer confessed at prior meeting. Katie Belles failed after developer remodeled it.

If I lived up there I would be more concerned about all of the apartments going up on the outskirts of TV, that is where the crowds will be coming from. The tenants in these new sections will most likely be full time not snow birds and that will be great for businesses within TV but there will be crowds. Samething is going on near brownwood..

:boom: So there!
