Is this a done deal or can TV submit another proposal ?

The fat lady ain't singing yet.

She ain't singing but she is on stage.

:eclipsee_gold_cup:

I was looking at Google maps, and there does NOT appear to be ANY golf cart access from Wildwood to this location. The newly rebuilt 466a has BIKE lanes, not golf cart lanes. There is currently NO golf cart crossing of 466a in this area, so IMHO we will not see a lot of golf carts with this development, cars will probably be a much bigger problem.
Also, putting in a GC crossing on 466a requires a lot more then painting some lines and changing traffic signal timing. Once you are on the TV side, there is nowhere to legally drive a GC until you get to Burnsed Blvd. I am not a traffic engineer, but this would probably require widening Pinellas Place from the gate to 466a for a GC lane. Not sure what else might be required.

Except for with folks on this forum, I don't think golf cars are an issue with this new development. It has not been called a golf cart community to my knowledge. Why assume it is? :shrug:

People in the new development will have complete access to everything TV has to offer, except for the pools, clubs and golf courses. As for the rental rates, yes, it is a lot of money, but many folks our age don't want the responsibility of home ownership anymore. I'm pretty sure that the developer of the property did their homework before plunking down any money, or submitting any plans. Let's not panic just yet.

What is the source of your information? Unless they are paying to maintain the MMPs, as we all are, what is your reasoning as to why they should have access?

So, if that is allowed (speculation) at Pinellas, shouldn't carts be allowed to cross 466a at Colony at the lights by Village Health Care, the Rehab place, the Vet, etc. and not have to go back thru the tunnel by Colony Rec Center?

Planned Development across from Pinellas
 

I have already seen this numerous times.

No. They would not need a tunnel. They could cross at an intersection with traffic lights...IF Wildwood/government backs it. Also, any licensed golf cart/LSV/NEV could cross at an intersection with out any government action. I'm not saying this will happen. Just saying it could happen.

Based on my google map review, I think there is a golf cart lane along Pinellas Pl into the shopping area fronting 466a.

I know already outsiders use our pools, they don't check ID's of people in the pool, or people with their eyes shut on chairs.

I don't recall that. I do remember clearly when the wall was put up abruptly in the historical section, blocking all golf cart traffic, just before negotiations were to be made with Fruitland Park. Many people think the wall was put up in order to show a precedent of NO OUTSIDE GOLF CARTS.


(The wall was later replaced with a card scanner so villagers only could move back and forth to Walmart, etc.)

Hope the master plan of the new plaza has a new resturant with outdoor seating that's non-smoking and pet free

Really?

Maybe someone in your position of seeing outsiders at our pools and facilities should call Community Watch and ask them to come out and check IDs.

New development across from Pinellas
 

The article on front page today is not news!
The meetings were in early December, is this just trying to stir problems?

There is nothing on the front page of the Daily Sun in any way about the development across from Pinelles.

There is a Courtyard Villa in Mission Hills going for over $ 650,000 ..

Speaking of developments: The land next to Traverse Plaza has recently been cleared, and my bet is the individuals who purchased a dwelling in Alden Bungalows have to be wondering Oh No what in the world what we were thinking of.

CFrance;1160961]We looked at a house that backed up to that property. Our sales agent was very forthright about the fact that development could occur and we could be looking at a parking lot, although the line of live oaks along the property line behind the house would probably be kept. I think anyone moving into that area would have to be very dense not to realize there could be development in their backyard.[/QUOTE]

Look at Alden Bungalows and that land has just been cleared ya gotta wonder why anyone would want to purchase there.

How does one know they are not a resident. Since they come every hour or so one can not stay in the water forever. Most leave their resident pass sitting on their bag so if napping you are not disturbing the nap

If you come from the city it ain't nuttin.

I grew up in a small town. Then moved to a large city. Then another large city. Then back to a small town. Then here.

For me, larger size means more shopping and things to do. Larger population means more friends to do those things with.
