Horizons Edge: the register's best-dated plat, from its own instrument strings

HARRIS TOWNSHIP · PHASE ONE 6 JANUARY 2000 · PHASE 2 REPLAT 25 SEPTEMBER 2001

Horizons Edge is the exception that proves the register's rule: its dates are not a gap, because its legal strings carry them. The Phase One parcels read "Set Up New Plat Per Trans 11541, 1-6-2000" — a new-plat instrument of 6 January 2000, the first plat paper of the century on this ground — and its Phase 2 parcels carry a new-replat transaction, 7525 of 25 September 2001, the plat re-cutting its second phase within twenty months of its first. The banked 2000s-additions article counted Phase One at 35 parcels; the family in the file, with Phase 2 and its new-plat-marked parcels, totals 42, at a median lot of 0.40 acre over some 22 acres on the township's southeast ground (centroid −86.0689, 41.7329), every parcel improved in the single-family code. A plat recorded on the century's first week and replatted before its second year was out is a plat that met its market instantly — the turn-of-the-century moment of the Harris wave, dated to the day by its own paper.

Its proprietor, alone, is not in the strings. Named gap — Horizons Edge's proprietor of record: settler, the St. Joseph County Recorder's plat books (Harris Township books), where the Trans 11541 instrument itself is filed.
