So, I am driving up 441 around the corner from my home and what do I see? MARS TERRAIN. No, it’s just another GL community being built on Ag District land. They say they are trading it for equally useful land, but they aren’t. The original deals called for a quid pro quo, but they had sufficient power to water down the zoning rules and the deal.
The new homes start at $1,000,000. The development starts on Lyons Road, where I live and stretches a long block to 441. Hard to tell how long it is. We are getting a library and some ball fields that there isn’t enough money in the budget to pay for.
At least I can still go for a walk across the street in the swamp at Arthur Marshall Loxahatchee Fish and Wildlife Sanctuary. But who knows how long this will last until their board decides to scale back and develop?
Or just hang out around a pond and talk with a bird.
