ROW #665 · THE NORTH-EAST GROWTH GROUND

Moran Addition is the town's largest named neighbourhood by parcel count — 44 parcels. Founding plat and subdivider: the parcel record gives the name and the count and no date; the eponym is Moran, and no source reached proves whether the addition's Moran is the school family's name, another Moran, or a developer borrowing one — the banked leg prints the discipline whole beside this plat: Moran Addition shares its name with Moran Elementary School (built as Moran School in 1951 on its 33-acre site, Schools section), “the shared name is a fact of the map, and no naming link between the addition and the school is asserted, because no source reached states one.” That discipline is kept here, word for word in substance. Street plan and character: an addition-era residential plat whose descriptions carry the town's growth in their own fabric — parcels in Moran Addition carry the notation “Annexed Per Ord 2/28/95,” the town's annexation ordinance of 28 February 1995 preserved lot by lot in the county's parcel layer. Present state: 44 parcels, the 1995 ordinance in their descriptions, the largest single plat name a deed in Osceola can carry. Settler for the founding date and subdivider of record: Recorder's plat books, Moran Addition sheet.

Nutlawn Addition (carried also as Nutlawn Pl. / Nutlawn Place in the descriptions) — 5 parcels, and the same annexation signature: its parcels carry the identical “Annexed Per Ord 2/28/95,” with a Bennett's Replat of Nutlawn Place lots in the count file (the replat is a plat event inside the plat, counted with its parent here). Character: a small annexed addition, taken into the town with Moran ground in 1995. Present state: 5 parcels, annexation dated in the descriptions themselves. Settler for its founding plat: Recorder's plat books, Nutlawn sheet and the Bennett's Replat sheet.
