A land owner who wants to build an 841-home family community in Southwest Marion was given another month to tweak plans before the controversial development appears before the Marion County Commission for a final hearing.
The commission agreed Tuesday to shift the final hearing for the proposed development, which would be adjacent to the north of SummerGlen, until June.
The new community, located east of the sprawling Marion Oaks community and west of Interstate 75, would be located on Southwest 20th Avenue Road, a section of roadway that is lined with mostly small cattle ranches and mid-size horse farms.
Just south of these rural farms is the 221-acre parcel that is poised to become an 841-home family development. SummerGlen is located 2.2 miles south of County Road 484.
