Summary

At a Peaine Township regular meeting dated November 11, 1998, the township reported that the access easement serving parcels 4–10 of Fox Pointe was to be named Fox Pointe Trail. This is the held source’s direct link between the road name and the parcel grouping.

The report does not reproduce the easement, plat, vote details, or later legal status, so it does not establish a surveyed boundary or completion of the formal naming process.

Open questions

Was the easement formally recorded under the Fox Pointe name?
Which plat and parcels correspond to the report’s parcels 4–10?
Did the named access route become the current mapped Fox Pointe Trail?

If you can answer any of these, or correct anything above, the archive wants to hear it — see Corrections.
