Let us take a look at what is happening in and around Sun City. The Sun City Master Plan shows additional development along Ronald Reagan and also along CR 245 and Williams Drive to the west.
The addition of Neighborhoods 88 and 89 gives rise to the issue of "connectivity". With only a single road out to Ronald Reagan, connectivity for safety purposes will depend on the Madison project being built with connections to that development.
The Madison has its own problems with connectivity as shown in the following map with Shady Oaks in the lower right corner. Shady Oaks is not within the Georgetown city limits
Here is a link to the developer that partially shows the layout. Madison
I think the Madison project has been planned, at least the lots and streets have been layed out. There was a presentation around July 2016 that shows Madison connecting into Shady Oaks at three loacations, Oak Branch Drive, Roble Roja Drive and Twin Cedar Drive. So you would have Georgetown specified streets of 30-32 ft wide with curbs, gutters and sidewalks connecting to 22.5 ft wide streets in the County with no curbs, gutters or sidewalks. I wrote on my blog at the time that I thought that was a stupid idea as there are two main roads out of Madison, one to 195 and one to Ronald Reagan.
This looks like West Majestic Oaks all over again unless the city takes an action.
The City has all kinds of regulations about how neighborhoods are to be connected if they are within the City, however, they do not seem to address connectivity between City and County developments.
Stay tuned for more fireworks!
