Correct, they have more land rather than 1/2 acre lots therefore the trash burning is allowed. There are burning regulations within Wildwood and they are enforceable, only takes a phone call.

Care to elaborate?

I was being sarcastic when I said that.

When I was practicing at Loblolly in McClure, I noticed some neighbors burning trash. Another poster thought my comment was off-topic because it concerned neighbors of McClure whereas this topic is about neighbors of Fenney.

I guess my sarcasm did not come through. Actually, I have no idea what the neighbors are like.

Since a lot of the non-Village houses along 468 are for sale, we wonder why The Villages did not buy them when they were building Fenney. I guess we will never know.

Probably burning insulation off copper wiring

We had a similar experience at Loblolly . People in adjoining neighborhood burning trash with smoke wafting over the first couple of tees. We were playing with a Villages couple who lived in the close by Village who said it goes on frequently and that they are considering moving because of the issue and frequency.

Instead of such a drastic move, they should call the Wildwood police department and ask if those particular homes are allowed to burn trash. If they are allowed not much can be done but if there is an ordinance for those homes they will contact them. That would be my first step before even considering moving.

OK, thanks for your explanation.

This solidifies the impression I had when driving to Fenny on 468.
I knew when I saw the smoke coming from a home owner along that road that I would not want to live near any of that.

Carefully check the addresses before calling. I think you will learn that the parcels being discussed are not in Wildwood. They were never annexed by Wildwood - they are in unincorporated Sumter County. If I am correct, then the call should be made to the Sumter County Sheriff Office.

Good luck if it's unincorporated anywhere.
Think rural Mayberry and the Darlings.

Have to love the fact that people have more than likely lived in these homes off of 468 for years, certainly well before The Villages expanded.

Now that new Villages residents have settled into their homes down there and don't like the smell of smoke, everyone is up in arms about how to control it, to include calling law enforcement.

How did you come up with everyone is up in arms, there is only one complaint of smoke out of the thousands of people that live here. I simply stated that calling the Wildwood police department to see if there is an ordinance would be the most logical first step if the smoke bothers them. It's no different than calling the police department if a dog is running loose or excessively barking. Just because they have lived here for many years does not mean what they are doing is allowed.

My post is directed at the snide and condescending comments that have been posted on this forum since the beginning of Fenney construction, regarding the homes and homeowners along 468. And sure, definitely call the authorities if you suspect criminal activity.
