Stuff You Should Know About
Hello All,
Hope you are all doing well.
As you all know we are always busy working on multiple fronts. Here are several:
Donations on Online Coming Soon
Save Sun City Center has received its registration compliance certificate from the State of Florida for our charitable operation. Hooray!
Peter Bates, Eric Nisenfeld and I will be working to get our credit card processing gateway with Authorize.net and PNC Bank in operation within the coming weeks and then we will be processing donations via our website SaveSCC.org. Hooray again!
Hillsborough County Greenways Project
Due to a personal scheduling issue where failure to be present might have been grounds for a serious round in the spousal dog house, I could not make the Greenways Project Meeting this Wednesday at the Beth Shields Library. Carla Miles attended in my stead and put forth my comments with respect to providing Greenways from the Greater Sun City Center Area into the Little Manatee State Park, Camp Bayou, and E. G. Simmons Park.
All three are wonderful recreating areas that, if they could be safely reached by bike, walking, or methods other than auto, would be very beneficial to our community.
There is an online opportunity to participate on Monday, August 1st. Details may be found on the county web site at: Master Plan Update Meeting.
You might want to poke around a bit to find more information.
You need to register to provide input or comments. Register for Master Plan Meeting.
Hope to see you online!
Golf Course Property Analysis Project
Some great work is being done to analyze the property data on those properties that abut the ClubLink-owned golf courses in Sun City Center and Kings Point. Golf courses are a keystone feature of our community. As concerned citizens, we are working diligently to build a compelling case to save our green spaces in perpetuity. It may be a tall order goal , but it’s been at the core of our community since its founding. It was reconfirmed by the citizens who live here in the extensive community-based planning effort, the planning commission, builders and others and everyone agreed to preserve the existing golf courses and green space some fifteen years ago (documented in the Greater Sun City Community Plan).
We believe that those courses are integral to the community character and neighborhoods. Many property owner directly abut those courses.
My preliminary analysis of Club Renaissance, my assigned course, reveals the following:
| Street | Abutting Properties |
|---|---|
| RIMINI VISTA WAY | 6 |
| CRYSTAL DOWNS CT | 4 |
| CHIPPER DR | 20 |
| MYRTLE VISTA CT | 10 |
| KNIGHTS GATE CT | 9 |
| NOBLE FAIRE DR | 34 |
| GRAND CHATEAUX WAY | 4 |
| REGAL MANOR WAY | 16 |
| JASMINE CREEK CT | 17 |
| VIA TOSCANA WAY | 9 |
| SIENA VISTA PL | 16 |
| CAPTIVA CT | 3 |
| WESTMINSTER MANOR LN | 8 |
| NEW BEDFORD DR | 7 |
| PERIDOT LN | 8 |
| SIGNATURE DR | 19 |
| PRESERVATION GREEN CT | 15 |
| VILLEROY DR | 7 |
| MISTY GREENS DR | 39 |
| CRYSTAL GREENS DR | 17 |
| LENOX GREENS DR | 10 |
| S PEBBLE BEACH BLVD | 12 |
| PLATINUM DR | 64 |
| EMERALD DUNES DR | 112 |
| 24 | 466 |
That’s just on Club Renaissance alone. There are twenty-four streets and 466 properties that abut the course.
The count of properties for the North Lakes course are 418, and 446 for Sandpiper. That is 1330 homes. (We have a number of courses yet to analyze).
I look forward to what facts will reveal to confirm what we already know.
Then we can tell a more compelling story.
Take care!
