Totally agree with you, that gate gets lots of use for surrounding businesses & cutting off access to that for those who only use golf carts would not be a smart idea. Fact less post only made to start rumors & stir the pot making trouble

Then way doesn't TV invite the outsiders from other subdivisions to come through that
gate to help the economy in TV???

Don't make sense

Default Why not build apartments in the empty lots @Buffalo Ridge?

Hence, they are pushing forward with Spanish Springs apartments...
Why not build apartments in the empty lots around Buffalo Ridge? The land has been predominantly empty for the 12 years that we've lived here. It's much quieter than Spanish Springs Town Square!

Just maybe the developer would rather you buy a home in TV and protect the obvious premium price a house here demands Vs one in Stonecrest. Once again I ask why does anyone believe the economy in TV needs help ? Show me where the Morse's have stated SS is operating in the RED. They are simply looking for other ways to maximize profits with an added side bonus of less headaches.

You know this has been hashed over so many times the topic is worn out!
Outsiders don’t pay for our multi-modal paths so shouldn’t use them.

More to follow……

Thanks to the Morse family we all enjoy a terrific lifestyle, the Morse family obviously has great wisdom, vision and business sense. I’m sure their decisions are not done in haste like some of the comments made by residents. Without growth places like Spanish Springs town square could be in danger of withering away.

Thank you Morse Family

Tom C

Ps please keep gate open.

Condo sale = book one profitable transaction

Apartment rental = ongoing cash flow, depreciation, escalating asset value

I checked the restaurant's web site and it is an "Old Florida atmosphere" not a sports bar.

Interestingly, they only have one location, but they have a very nice web site. I wonder if The Developer did a search for a restaurant with the atmosphere they want and offered Harry's the spot.

They could make it a condo by giving themselves a very long term managing contract but other than that you are correct.

The waiting list is more likely because the Lofts come with ALL of those things, not merely living space for rent with parking spaces that aren't sectioned off and unavailable to the public.
.
Name the special amenities for The Lofts residents.

Because I know people who utilize the Club House and pool on a regular basis and are NOT residents of The Lofts. Any of us can use it, just need to reserve if you want the use of the kitchen and grill.
