New 11-Home ‘Betmark Place’ Subdivision Proposed For East Ten Mile Road

June 25, 2025

A new 11-home single family residential subdivision is planned for East 10 Mile Road.

The Betmark Place III Subdivision is proposed for a 2.835 acre lot at 200 East 10 Mile Road, at the corner of Ten Mile and Betmark roads.

There is currently a house on the property that was heavily damaged by fire on May 15 and a secondary structure. Plans show that both will remain. The new proposed lots will face the existing Betmark Road or Millbrook Drive.

According to documents filed with the Escambia County Development Review Committee,  the engineer for the project want to discusss using an existing retention pond at Ashton Brosnaham for the stormwater runoff.

    @boss
    When it comes time to evacuate from a hurricane you will be glad they widened 29.

    2.8 acres divided by 11 units. Interesting. Aren’t there codes for fire lane accessibility or are contractors allowed to stack them in there like firewood? Will these shelters be Habitat for Humanity Housing? If so – the sliding sound will be property values going downhill. This isn’t sane development. This is anything for a buck.

    You are correct. It was turned into a “room rental” apartment.
    The “garage” is a 4 unit apartment rental.????
    Should all be torn down at this point.

    Ten Mile road! The entrance to the soccer complex, entrance to the new recreation facility, entrance to 3 schools, hundreds of homes and possible entrance to the UWF football stadium. No updating on ANY of the infrastructure. We’re not doing anything with Pine Forest or old Palafox. Hey, lets waste more money and 6 lane US29 to Alabama. As the saying goes “Here’s you sign”!

    That whole Road will need drainage installed, there is no piping or drainage on that road it floods near the end and people at the end are on a private portion solve the drainage issues on Ten Mile first.

    Cue the “widen pine forest road” comments…

    It’s a shame what was done to that historic home, even prior to the fire…but it’s their place, and they can do what they want.
