To the Editor:
There will be a public hearing at 5:30 p.m. Monday, March 5 at Lady Lake Town Hall to allow a mini warehouse storage facility with RV and boat storage, caretaker’s resident, office/commercial and cell tower
The 26-acre plot under consideration for rezoning is surrounded on three sides by single family residences with the least frontage on Route 25. The Villages is actively engaged in procuring properties and rebuilding for improvement. The Villages owns a 25-foot strip bordering the rear of the affected homes on East Schwartz. Where is the representation against this commercial use not normally placed in a residential area? How is this sound land use planning? Traffic, impervious surfaces, less green space, lighting, hours of operation, on site utilities, need for a caretaker? Help! Preserve our neighborhood. Do we have to fight for a wall? The entire Route 25 corridor needs a plan for compatible uses that will guard our home values and quality of life.
