Note

From the "Best Practices Report Progress Village Community" by the University of South Florida's 2024 Masters of Urban and Regional Planning Fall Studio, "Although water and sewage facilities were included in the [comprehensive] plan, other utilities such as electricity, phone lines, and trash services were to be located on rear property line easements. They were not detailed" in the initial comprehensive plan.
