HARRIS TOWNSHIP · ASH AND CLEVELAND ROADS · 61 PARCELS · FOUNDED 1997, PER ITS ASSOCIATION
"Founded in 1997," says East Pointe Estates' own community association — the only plat in this register whose founding year the open web states in so many words. The association's page seats it "just west of the Ash and Cleveland Road roundabout" and names its amenity plainly: "a scenic retention area known as Cedar Lake," the engineered lake the county file also knows — one of its legal strings reads "East Pointe Estates Sec One, Lot 47 & Cedar Lake," the lake carried inside the plat's own descriptions. The file carries 61 parcels in sections from Sec One forward, at a median lot of 0.40 acre, some 31 acres in all, every parcel improved in the single-family code: a finished plat. The listing record names its streets West Cedar Lake Drive, ringing the retention lake; Prestwick Court, a golf-vocabulary cul-de-sac; and Woodmar Drive. Its build-year samples run 1994 to 2000 — and the 1994 samples sit in a small, honest tension with the association's 1997: an association's founding is not a plat's recording, and houses dated three years before it most likely mark the plat's first section building before the association organized, but the record reached does not reconcile the two, and both are printed as found.
The association gives a year but no proprietor, and no recording date rides in the legal strings. Named gap — East Pointe Estates' proprietor and the recording date behind the association's 1997: settler, the St. Joseph County Recorder's plat books (Harris Township books), GAP-NBH-5's settler named for this plat.
