We were at Spanish Springs town square for dinner when Cold Blue Stone was playing in the square, there was also an event of some kind at the Sharon Morse theatre. Even the lot between the golf cart bridge and Ay Jalisco had several rows of cars where usually there might be just a handful or two. Many people don't WANT to park on the street, because getting in and out of spaces when it's busy is difficult. Some days, the streets are closed to vehicular traffic, pedestrians only. Residential tenants don't only need to be there at night when no one is around. They should have assigned parking spaces. But unless there's someone available to ENFORCE that, it won't happen, and someone who pays for the privilege of living AT the square, will have to not park anywhere near their own place of residence, because someone who's "only there for an hour" has chosen their spot to park in before the resident came home from whatever he was doing. You need assigned parking spaces and someone to enforce that. You need a way to SAFELY secure overnight parking for golf carts that are very easily rolled onto a flatbed when everyone's asleep and all the businesses are closed for the night. And so - the idea is - a garage, at least for golf carts/bikes/segways/ultra-compacts like Smart Cars. Either that or somehow build a barrier between the spaces closest to the apartments and the rest of the parking lot, accessible only by building-specific gate key or window tag. |

You of all people are a keen observer of the “human nature” and business acumen I described elsewhere on this thread. You don’t see this as a domino effect contemplated by the developer for some time, culminating in the eventual splintering of The Villages? Think of it as this week’s essay question! Perhaps I’m way off base, but I gotta say the dots are connecting conspicuously. Just a coincidence? I value your input, especially as a fellow denizen of the historic district.

Do you really think they don't have a plan? Do you think they haven't thought this through? |

Has the developers ever done anything half-as***ed. No, so the apartments that will be 2nd floor over the business have been in the works for a long time. I’m sure parking is already in the plans, and tenants will be taken care of very well. Those who live in the lofts, with less than 30 garages, no carports, and long term facilities (some have carports) in TV, leave their carts unattended in parking lots, so far no crime wave.
As for the worry of music, has anyone realized that there will be active businesses directly beneath the apartments. The developers are not going to shut down those businesses to have quiet time, and the square will continue with music, cause it brings in people, so the bars can continue, and businesses can pay their rent.

I really don't care either way of the outcome of this particular situation. However a message to town officials - if the richest guy on the block ultimately gets variance to a zoning law why have zoning codes. I'm guilty of not researching this but has there been a time when "The Developer" requested 1 a variance 2 been turn down 3 (this is the operative part) appealed the decision and not been grated the variance ? A simple question- no accusations implied.
