It still has to go before the Amenities Authority Committee for their approval.

Might I ask what these photos represent? Thank you.

You can park at the veterinarian's office whose property line abuts that of the Salon Professional Academy and merely step over the line onto the Salon's parking lot. Theoretically, though, can a golf cart be towed?...

Hopefully in the future, they have learned that it would be better to bring up changes to the community in advance. Sure would have been a whole lot easier on all.

Think about the costs involved here:

Cost of new wall

Tear down of old gate

Installation of new gate

Tear down of that new wall

Bad Public Relations

Mental anquish for those affected adversely

Infighting between fellow villagers

Communities should be brought together...not torn apart.

One of my doctors in "No Man's Land" told me that he owns his building AND the land that it is on, having bought it from the developer many years ago, and and he mentioned that it is true of the doctor next door to him. However, he then added that later, the developer would not SELL land but rather would RENT it.

I have always gone to that doctor by golf cart to the Sharon Morse Building, park the cart there, and walk across 27-441 (with the light, of course), and it has never been a problem (though much to the amusement of the staff in the doctor's office...). I do the same near Walgreen's in the parking lot where Target and Staples are located, then cross Rolling Acres Road to the huge complex that includes Best Buy, Bed Bath & Beyond, Joann Fabric, and even as far as Kohl's. And when I have to, I can cross 27-441 (using the lights, as there is no crosswalk there) to Home Depot and so forth. Perhaps not the most ideal, but it works....

Peachie, it was not just the people in the historic section who used that cart path - many people living north of 466 did too

Whenever anyone refers to just the historic side residents, or asks how many of the historic side residents don't own cars, they are minimising the true impact of this issue.

There is a difference between "aren't entitled" and "are allowed." The use of our pools in TV by outsiders has long been an issue....

Aren't the VHA and the Developer one and the same? That would be like someone talking to oneself, wouldn't it?

Good morning to you too!!!

The cart path under discussion has been paved and fully-maintained (with landscaping and lights) for over a decade and has been safely used by many people on a regular basis.

I'm guessing... that the developer capitulated in a way that makes him look good, makes the VHA look good, keeps the POA out of his hair, and allows him not to respond as to why the wall was put up to begin with.

If this proposal is acted upon, good for all. And good for all who picketed to voice their displeasure.

The developer certainly does adhere to the first part of your grandmother's adage, Gracie... Least said!! ;^)

What an incredibly ill-conceived solution. Using Gottschalk’s logic, allow me to restate his solution:

This VHA-proposed solution will allow TV residents unfettered access to non-resident facilities, while at the same time denying non-residents access to ‘our’ facilities.

Can any of you who have voiced your outrage at cart path closing and its egregious denial of access to public facilities honestly say that you think this is a fair and equitable solution to all those affected by the path closure?

Furthermore, Gottschalk’s accusations are blatantly false. The golf cart bridge over 441 was approved by the state and built and maintained by Morse commercial entities, not amenity funds. So Stonecrest residents can drive through Orange Blossom Hills, over the bridge and to all of the medical and retail facilities along the west side of 441 without ever setting foot on amenity supported paths or facilities. Who does he think he’s fooling?

Now if the reason for the wall being erected was concern for liability (an often used legal smokescreen), then why not propose to have Morse donate the homesite to the town of Lady Lake or Lake county, thereby making it an extension of Paradise Drive.

those rubber stampers! lol

The pictures were of the alternate gate which was "opened up" to the parking lot of the Life Medical Practice -- apparently the community watch and some officials were in the process of restricting the use of this access and I snapped a couple of shots///

and my father always reminded me, 'don't count your chickens before they hatch.'

am not gonna hold my breath until that committee meets, the wall comes down and the gate goes up! i just wonder if it will be done before or after the hilltop restaurant gets reopened and/or we return for the winter!

wonder, too, when can folks schedule medical appts with doctors in the medical campus area and use their golf cart to get their?

i guess because reconciliation only goes so far, edv! ;)
