Coopcasa you are absolutely correct!

I am the homeowner who is building the garage. On the day of Anglescelebrate's post, I was approached by my neighbor and his wife who advised of the writing. They were very upset and contrite. As of yet, I had not read the post. I related their story as written in my rebuttal. My neighbors, who I will not name, offered to write a letter in our support. I would never ask them to do anything of the sort. They are genuinely regretful of the attention and disruption this has caused. My wife and I, and neighbors don't feel they are responsible. They have been intruded upon enough.

Again, what Angelscelebrate fails to mention is that our neighbor's views faced our existing garage, our AC unit, our noisy pool equipment, and our birdcage. The neighbors landscaped their property and placed hedges for privacy, and to block the ugly mechanical equipment.

I'm cognizant that neighbors like to ride around and look at homes that are being modified. Unfortunately, we live in a cul-de-sac and our neighbor's dog and ours aren't used to the proliferation of traffic this post has created.

How one house in a village of several hundred will devaluate a home not even located in the immediate area of the construction site is purely fallacious.

In my humble opine, Angelscelebrate took advantage of my neighbors. I am not sure how Christ-like that is.

Let us not be divided by people like Angelscelebrate.

I ask we end this. As a poster said, "When in a hole, STOP digging"!!!

I drove by the house/new garage yesterday. The biggest problem I see is there is not enough room next to the original garage to get a motor home to the new garage WITHOUT driving on the neighbors property. I don't think there is even enough room to drive a regular car thru the area, without driving on the neighbors property. Maybe the new big garage is going to house classic cars, etc. There is a house in Bridgeport Miona Shores that has a 2 stall garage similar to the one referenced in this thread, which contains classic cars and some on lifts.

This RV garage is hideous in light of the rules that are enforced everywhere else here. Thinking of the people who were given 30 days to rip out their nice brick edging around their landscaping because of a mix up when asking if approval was needed.
Maybe the whole neighborhood should sign a petition against this ugly eyesore.

The Villages, you may want to be aware that the Developer Representative can and did grant an approval for an RV garage prior to the development being turned over to The Villages. The ARC process takes place once The Villages takes control over the completed neighborhood (approximately one year later?) for any new applications for permit and claims no responsibility for the acts of the Developer Representative.

This is exactly what has happened to a kind couple that lives next door to a now RV garage. This garage in my humble opinion seems to fail on three key points that fall under the Developer's Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions Relating to: Villages of Southern Oaks Unit No. 30A.

2.4 "Harmonious with the development as to... design, size, and other qualities"; 2.5 "Developer shall grant its approval only in the event the proposed work (A) will benefit and enhance the entire Subdivision in a manner generally consistent with the plan of development thereof, and..." and 2.9 "Outside structure permanently attached to the Home" (granted the plans have some type of little wall planned to attach it later and a HUGE screened enclosure over covering all open area).

The Villages have seemingly washed their hands of what has happened here. It is nice little loop hole people have discovered at the expense of their future or current neighbors. Go to the Developer before YOUR neighborhood transfers to The Villages for approval to store an RV at your home.

Buyers Beware of this when you buy your designer home.

In my humble OPINION this is hardly harmonious, does not match the size, height of walls, design of the neighborhood and certainly does not enhance the neighborhood. It should be on radars of those purchasing.

You do know a petition would be a waste of time and ink? Maybe contact the clipboard ladies The garage has been approved.

Funny the ones who have a dog in this fight seem to be ok with the build. The only one who seems angry is the OP, who has not stated if the build is in direct view of their property, a drive by opinion, Or just angry they were turned down by ARC, for something.

Two story additions are becoming more common than one would think in a retirement community such as TV, given the fact that climbing stairs is in the mix.

Very known fact, if you build your house next to picturesque farm, tomorrow it could be a Lowe’s. If you buy a house that has property with more room to add on, you or your neighbor has the ability to do so with approval.

Will everything being done comply with the normal deed restriction that states nothing can be closer than 3 feet of the property line?

Sumter County allows for driveways to be paved up to the property line.

The OP has left the building.

Yep.

Even to the point of multiple complaints and pictures to county inspector who have to come out “again” only to see that everything is built to approved design and code. Stamped and Sealed. Good to go!

Geez, just get over it. To persistently harass these people…is beyond the pale.

And why are all prior post under “Anglescelebrate” profile now deleted and OP now using “guest”? ������

OP doesn’t even live in the neighborhood.

But to persistent harass these people…maybe not the smartest of moves.

I wonder if the OP has a clipboard?
