Kara Lake Homes for Sale

Living in Kara Lake

Walton County's land-use hearing minutes of May 28, 2020 record Kara Lake Townhomes as project PLA19-000023, a final plat for 44 townhome lots and common area on 9.0 acres, more or less, west of Veterans Road and about 0.2 miles north of US 98. The commissioners approved it contingent on the conditions in the staff report. The minutes name an earlier parent parcel rather than a current identifier for each residence, and they document plat approval, not present inventory, condition, ownership, fees or association rules.

The county parcel layer carries a separate legal record for each of LOT 1 KARA LAKE TOWNHOMES through LOT 44, all coded townhouse. It also draws one common-area parcel in three separate pieces, and the roll lists Kara Lake Homeowners Assoc Inc as that parcel's owner of record. The three pieces do not add homes or create a second common-area parcel. Relate a site to its recorded lot and parcel number before calling a record a residence.

The county and FEMA flood layers return the same pattern around the plat: Zone A, Zone AE and Zone X. One AE polygon, listed at an 11.5-foot static elevation, lies just north of the plat; neither layer shows it touching any of the 44 lots or the three common-area pieces. Testing each lot outline against both layers, lots 1 through 31 and 36 through 38 show only Zone X. Lots 32 through 35 and 39 through 44 include some Zone A ground, from a sliver under one percent on lots 35 and 39 to roughly 8.5 percent of lot 44 by sampled area. The common-area pieces are mixed, and the largest Zone A share, about two-thirds, sits in one of them. Neither layer lists a base flood elevation for Zone A. These readings cannot assign one flood label to every Kara Lake residence, so obtain current map evidence and an address-level qualified determination before relying on any of them.

The December 18, 2018 land-use hearing minutes record the applicant's engineer saying an on-site lake and a mosquito-control ditch would handle stormwater drainage. That limited engineering remark does not establish current amenities, access, maintenance, association obligations, rental terms or condition. Verify those matters from recorded documents and property-specific disclosures.
