The AAC did not do any of the necessary homework, went ahead against advice of the inspector and paid $350.000 for a building that needs to be demolished (at a cost to the AAC), does not have parking (parking is property of the present rec center). so basically they paid this huge sum for a spot of ground. The final blow is the AAC also spent a lot of time considering a restaurant in the present building but evidently had overlooked a provision in the sales agreement that the building COULD NOT be used as restaurant.

yes for the tamarind dog problem that land behind is owned by the developer and he has community watch at $30.00 an hour patroling it. What they said was you can have your dog on a leach walking through the area but not dogs running around like a dog park. That was it.

$350,000 for a spot of land that doesn't have parking and cannot be used as a restaurant. Brilliant move by AAC, not.

Everyone should read the POA Bulletin left in our driveways today. On page 8 is a very disturbing article. In essence the AAC paid the equalivent of $1,590,909.00 per acre for the El Santaigo 0.22 acre. There is a lot of information in this article so I suggest you read the entire Article #10 on page 5, it contains some very interesting facts.

President reported another golf cart theft that wasn't in the paper yet, was a friend of hers. Also she gets updated by sumter county sheriff and said the robberies may be linked to a cleaning service. Detecties are working on it. Open forum had rich lambrecht a supervisor answer questions about cart lane striping which was killed by a 3-3 vote but he said that a mistake in voting which i didn't quite understand might make it 4-2 for the striping. Speaker talked on golf cart insurence, bottom line check with your agent to see whats covered as far as liability especially. Comic moment was when an elderly gentlemen asked when your at a red light with your golf cart, what are you supposed to do.

So sad that people would laugh at a question that an elderly man asked. Sometimes people say things in a different way than it was intended.

Sorry to be so incensed about this but I have much compassion and respect for the elderly.

The folks who lead the POA sued the developer and as a result control of the area north of 466 was given over to residents.( the AAC). The AAC bought a building that was a restaurant that had sit empty for 350K from Sumter Inc. About the cost of a designer home.


There is much arguing now because some residents want it as a restaurant which is not allowed.
