Developer gives brief update on 850‑acre Body and Bell community; first phase to include 23 quarter‑acre lots
Summary
Logan Marchman told the commissioners that the Body and Bell (850‑acre) development is ready to plat a first phase of 23 quarter‑acre lots and that engineers have completed a drainage plan pending review with the drainage district; a density development agreement with the county is the next step.
Logan Marchman, representing the Body And Bell development, provided a short status update to the Liberty County Commissioners Court on Sept. 23 about a proposed residential community on roughly 850 acres on the east side of the county.
Marchman said preliminary work that came before the court in February or March is complete enough that the developer is ready to plat a first phase of 23 quarter‑acre lots. He said the total planned community would eventually contain about 2,500 homes but that additional phases would come later; the developer does not expect the later phases before 2028.
Marchman said engineers have prepared a drainage plan and that the next step is coordination with the drainage district and county staff on a development agreement that will govern density and infrastructure conditions. He said the developer is working on builder contracts and emphasized that every home will touch some form of greenway or walkway of varying widths.
No formal county action was taken during the update; the presentation was recorded as an information item.
