I totally agree. I've lived in a development that the developer finished and it was never the same after they left. Everything rapidly spiraled downhill. So as I agree the developer is not actively involved in older CDD's, the developers continued presence is a really good thing!!! Hooray for us.

Directions to the Village of Fenney. Cross over Hwy 44 at Morse Boulevard on to Hwy 468 and drive over the bridge that goes over the Florida Turnpike. The property is located on the left side of Hwy 468. If you know where Hwy 468 intersects with Hwy 301, that is where the property ends. This area is quite a considerable distance from The Villages.

Is there a golf cart lane on that new turnpike overpass?
If not I am going to open a new street legal golf cart store.

4.98 miles from Hwy 44 to what appears to be the access point based on the development plan.

My guess is car access only from other Villages. If so, the 2 executive courses probably won't get much play from other Villages.

Almost in another country. see wildwood city agenda ->http://wildwoodcityfl.iqm2.com/citiz...08&Inline=True

It is a smart way for them to sell property not adjacent to the current Villages.

According to current law, street legal golf carts are restricted to roads marked 35 mph and less. Rt. 468--- 45 mph highway. Many cars currently travel above the 35 mph speed limit on Morse now and a street legal going the limit of 25 mph are a danger to themselves and to the others traveling down Morse Blvd.

You will only get a speeding ticket if you are more than 5 mph, @ that speed you will get a warning. In all reality a 15 mph difference between vehicles is unsafe.

Police in Fl will most likely ticket you for speeding once you are 9mph above the posted limit, that's when $$$ kicks in.

Default New Village

Dear Developer:

Please buy a large parcel of beachfront property and build a new village on it. Of course, it won't be contiguous with The Villages-Prime, but we who live here would have access to all the amenities there.

I would live at the beach and come here for amenities. Maybe we can home share.
