A Starbucks is wrong for the Village and a drive through, with idling engines, is wrong for the Village entrance. Further, there are fine ’coffee experiences’ to be had within the Village and a Starbucks would take away from those! This corporate business has nothing to do with Village goals of community cohesiveness and everything to do extension of the chain retail that belongs farther down Sunrise.

Excellent news. The more this portion of county government hears from FOVEC about possible land use violations the better. The county planners as professionals need to be kept aware of the potential of the Village as a community resource. As Keith points out, there is a ‘vision plan’ for the Village. It doesn’t include making the Village into a vehicle storage area.
