400 plus people trying to get into classes at fewer Rec Centers. 400 plus cars on Morse Blvd. 400 plus people at the Squares.
But wait! We get ONE new restaurant (where THEY make money) and ONE walking path! WOW! WHAT A DEAL!

Let’s not forget about trying to get a lane to swim laps in a sports pool or a t-time at an executive course during the winter. And there is already a nice walking trail in the area that goes from near the Del Mar gate to the Chula Vista recreation center. No thanks to the lame offer, it’s an insult.

What role should the Sumter County Commission play in protecting the citizens of Sumter County from the construction of a multi-story apartment building in an existing residential area?

Yes sir, build away

The most upsetting part of the conversation was that the Palms 9 would be torn out to make room for the condos. This is simply devastating to me (if it is true). Although I don’t live near there, the thought that TV is leaning in this direction upsets me greatly. With all of the sprawl that is taking place down south where there are virtually no amenities whatsoever, how could tearing up the Palms benefit anyone, not to mention the people who bought homes there? What about the impact on home prices throughout The Villages? More apartments will have a negative impact on the rest of us. Does anyone have ANY idea what the developer is planning to do? BTW, condo owners will have all the amenities we homeowners have, including the new pool and restaurant. I also heard that these condos or apartments could be income restricted. Not a good thing at all.

Your original statement is true.....rumors are flying.....no one knows anything except what the developer has stated in the Daily Sun (and that's very little). So sit back and wait for the facts.

This is just one example of how things have negatively changed. I think you will find the "quality of life", within the Villages has changed for the worse and will continue. Not only due to size but the age of our community is getting much younger. Cars are driving faster and there is less respect for the peace and quiet we all thought we were getting.

If you live north of 466 when was the last time you saw a golf cart driver or automobile driver actually get a speeding ticket. Used to be residents feared a ticket for speeding especially in their golf cart. I have paced golf carts on Rio Grande Ave and Morse Blvd going at least 30 MPH more than I care to remember.

So, yes the Developer is part of the problem with not keeping promises made - but with only select enforcement of any rules this is what we get. The Developer does whatever he wants and his puppets in office rubber stamp the process.

If anyone still believes the taxpayers of Sumter County did not get a 25% tax increase last year I have a bridge for sale. All it took was willing commissioners to keep impact fees extremely low and pass on the Developer's cost, that should have been paid in impact fees, to the taxpayers of Sumter County.

My suggestion to the new Sumter County Commissioners, raise impact fees to cover the full cost of the 170 million bond issue and have the Developer pay it on every one of the 60,000 new houses he sells at about $2,800/per house. What a message that would send to all of us.

We need to hold the representative in the districts accountable to the residents..... a good way to send the message is to un-elect the 3 commissioners

iht2209 08-12-2020 09:54 AM

We need more people like you. Most roll over and let it happen.
I own a home on Madero Dr. the traffic maintains 35 mph. I complained and their response was a radar sign. Horrible response. Car pass carts on curves. One of our residents was just killed on the street. Their response was to put a empty police car on Morse. REALLY. Now we are threaten with condos being built in back of us. I have put significant amount of money in my property only to lose $100k off the top.

When are the people in The Villages and those contemplating moving here going to realize the Morse family does not give a hoot about what is best the for the community, only them. Grandfather is rolling in his grave.

Grandfather was cremated, fyi.

I hope you mean the replacement of the three who voted for a 25% increase in our taxes. Please vote for Estep, Miller and Search to replace the incumbents.

The AAC will meet at 9 a.m. Wednesday at Savannah Center. The meeting is open to the public.

If you want to vote "no", that is your right. However, do so based upon facts, not rumors and innuendo.

iht2209 08-12-2020 10:49 AM

Already did....

Joe Sacco 08-12-2020 10:50 AM

50 Apartments X $150 = $7500 per month, not a reason for such an investment.

iht2209 08-12-2020 11:19 AM

Sorry for the mis quote earlier... your exactly right
