The final plat for the first phase of a northeast Ocala community that recently constructed roadways and fences was just approved by Marion County commissioners, clearing the way for the construction of the first homes at the site.
The request was approved by the Marion County Board of County Commissioners during its regular meeting on Tuesday, October 1. The item was part of the commission’s consent agenda, which is enacted with one roll call vote.
The final plat for the first phase of the community, Emerson Pointe, shows 92 lots, six tracts, and 0.67 miles of roadway on a 23.44-acre site.
According to Marion County property records, the site is a part of two adjacent parcels owned by Emerson Pointe Development, LLC that total 65.96 acres in size.
The Marion County Development Review Committee recommended approval of the final plat for the first phase of Emerson Pointe in late September.
Last month, Ocala-News.com reported that roads and fences had been constructed at Emerson Pointe, which is located south of NE 35th Street and north of NE 28th Street, between NE 19th Avenue and NE 22nd Court.
Ocala-News.com first reported work at the site in northeast Ocala earlier this Spring. At the time, the site had just been cleared.
According to D.R. Horton, the new community will feature several one-story and two-story home designs for future residents.
The concrete-block homes in the community will come furnished with stainless-steel appliances, quartz countertops, smart home systems, ceramic tile flooring, and modern home finishes and fixtures, according to D.R. Horton.
In addition to homes, the community will also feature amenities like a pool, a cabana, a dog park, and a playground.
