I'm relatively new here (just about 4 years) and bought in the last Village constructed north of 466A. At first I was absolutely astounded at how the developer seemed to have an amazing grasp of the ideal ratio between number of homes built and number of amenities (rec centers, pools, golf courses, ball courts, and so forth). But as building has progressed south of 466A, I became less certain. Take golf, for example. The developer makes money on each round played on Championship corses. So how many such courses were built south of 466A? Three, wth a total of 91 holes. How many executive courses in that same area? Three, with a total of 27 holes. Actually 4 and 36 holes with the new Volusia course opening a month ago. So with 1000 new homes planned in the Fruitland Park area, how many more golf courses will there be over there? Or rec centers? Or pools? Or Town Squares? And how many such facilities foe the proposed 800 new homes in the undeveloped property opposite Pinellas shopping area and Palmetto executive course?

The new Regional Center under construction will have fitness I'm told. Jan-March are busy but after that I find it ok. I was surprised that Eisenhower didn't have fitness but I'm told that was because of the Private Club at Brownwood.

There was a push by residents that wanted an enclosed pool--what happen? We are getting off subject. Perhaps Wildwood will want to revisit their demands--but it appears that most TV residents could care less.

When your village, the last built north of 466-A, was built, the plan by TV Sales Dept. was for final build-out to end by 2013. I know this because of a friend working there who described the ongoing plans for all sales reps to plan for going independent as MLS agents are, in the TV VLS resale homes realty group. So I think from that, if amenities seem thinner just south of 466-A, it might be because of planned final buildout shortly after that.

Then came thousands of people having fits because they'd not get a brand new home in TV, and then came Fruitland Park land perfect for expansion for them, and so it goes…..

Actually you need to add in 3 more executives with 27 more holes in the process after Volusia...
