Who Elects a Supervisor Now?

The WVID legislative charter establishes the district's electorate as land owners within the district's boundaries.  Each land owner is entitled to one vote for each acre (or any portion of an acre) they own.  So, who is the electorate?
In round numbers, WVID is approximately 8,000 acres; all initially owned by Fourth Quarter Properties.  About 800 acres was sold to Pulte Homes for creation of the IslandWalk subdivision (Village C), and about 1,000 acres was sold to Sam Rogers for the Gran Paradiso subdivision (Village A).  Some small portion of each of these land areas has been conveyed to the city or county for roads, drainage, parks, and other public uses; but the number of acres is negligible.
Therefore, the approximate electorate  for WVID would be:
   330 votes from individual residential lot owners (a portion of one acre each).
   650 votes from Pulte Homes (remainder of unsold IslandWalk land).
   900 votes from Gran Paradiso I, LLC (remainder of unsold Gran Paradiso land).
6,120 votes from Fourth Quarter Properties, (remainder of unsold WVID land).
There should be no question in anyones mind as to just who or what the WVID is.
