An overview of the planned development on County Road 466 and Cherry Lake Road.

A major residential and commercial development proposed for County Road 466 will go before Lady Lake commissioners on Monday night.

Hammock Oaks, to be located directly across from Spring Arbor Village, would provide for a 162.4-acre housing development on what is now pasture land. In addition, there will be acreage for a senior citizen housing development. There will be commercial development and a medical park is also envisioned.

When members of the Lady Lake Planning and Zoning Board heard the proposal at their Nov. 14 meeting, they also got an earful from nearby residents who are worried about traffic and congestion the development could bring. Even Planning and Zoning Board member Peter Chiasson, who lives on Palermo Place in the Village of Valle Verde, added his voice to the chorus of concerns. You can read more about that meeting HERE

The acreage is now pastureland.

Now the proposal moves on to consideration by the Lady Lake Commission which meets at 6 p.m. at Lady Lake Town Hall.
