"facebook" Pages & groups
While these pages are off site of this website, they contain valuable information and are a means for supporters to stay in touch with each other on a daily basis. These assets are an invaluable part of our cause!
PLEASE VISIT THESE FACEBOOK GROUPS & PAGES
Hopefully, if you are visiting this website, you are in one of the following groups:
- You enjoy the quiet “country life” that the landowners (and Voters) of the area surrounding Grand Oaks are currently use to
- You are an equine enthusiast and enjoy a local equine facility.
- You work in The Town of Lady Lake or the area surrounding The Town of Lady Lake.
- You live in Water Oaks and use the rear exit of Water Oaks that exits on to Griffin Ave.
- You live in The Villages and either drive through The Town of Lady Lake or shop in or near The Town of Lady Lake.
- You live in The Town of Lady Lake and either drive through or shop in or near The Town of Lady Lake.
- You live North or West of The Town of Lady Lake, but you travel though this area on CR25, US441, Marion County Road, Griffin Ave., Lake Griffin Rd or Gray's Airport Rd. to work, to school, to day care, to appointments, for entertainment or to shop and you are frustrated by the current traffic nightmares and you are concerned about an increase to the traffic nightmares that are already delaying your travel times through this area.
If you are in any of the above groups (and many others), YOU WILL be affected by the traffic and increase in population created by this development and other local developments. Please make no mistake THESE developments will change your life!
Also, if this development is approved and the Town of Lady Lake is allowed to continue to annex non-contiguous land or contiguous land, and then that land is allowed to change its zoning to higher housing densities than the Lake County Future Land Use Map(FLUM); you will be stuck in traffic no matter what road you use!
A development with 795 new houses will most likely result in the addition of at least an average of two(2) vehicles per house. Also, this development may include driving age children. These driving age children will either have their own vehicles or drive their parent's vehicles which will result in additional traffic!
While one of each house's vehicles may not be on the roads at the same time as the second vehicle of that house, it will certainly be on the roads as many of us are on the roads! An average of 1600 new vehicles will place a devastating traffic load on this area's already worn out COUNTY road system! That also brings up another issue that should be as alarming, if not more alarming. If you are a Lake County resident, then YOUR TAX DOLLARS will be used to help maintain and improve these COUNTY road systems, which these new families will be required to use as soon as they exit their new NON-CONTIGUOUS CITY development!
Furthermore, YOUR PROPERTY TAXES will be INCREASED to fund the required increase in Law Enforcement, and Fire Department employees and equipment that will be needed to service this NON-CONTIGUOUS CITY development! If you live in any area of Lake County or any of its Cities, your Property Taxes will also be increased to build the NEW SCHOOLS needed for the additional children that will live in these type of developments.
Also, make no mistake, the response time it takes for an ambulance/fire truck to get to your loved ones, when every second counts, will be increased! What used to take them 5 minutes to get to your loved ones, will be longer. What is the life of your loved ones worth!
Remember, the more houses there are, the more people there are. That is such a simple concept to grasp, but so many residents/voters, developers, and even politicians just can't seem to grasp the actual impact that will result from this simple concept.

If you really care about your way of life, or your current and future loved ones, you really owe it to THEM to show up to the Town Council Meeting and take just a few minutes to tell them how this will affect you.
We really need the Town of Lady Lake officials, Lake County officals and the all residents/voters of the State of Florida to understand the impact that this type of Development.
Also, please consider that ANY resident in the State of Florida is actually affected by the regulations and agreements that are currently being enforced by Lake County. All of OUR state is being subjected to this same type of urban sprawl. The State of Florida has passed legislation that allows the use of Interlocal Service Boundary Agreements (ISBA) by ANY Florida County/City!
Currently, the residents of Lake County need YOUR help. If you live in ANY of the area surrounding this proposed development or in an area that will be affected by this development, please consider coming to each Town of Lady Lake Council meetings!
If you have experience in any of these areas, please help us:
- We can always use helpers to do research.
- Post Signs in your yard!
- Get your neighbors to come to meetings and post signs!
