The second plot was on September 6, 1955 that included Lakeview Lane and Leaview Lane northward.
On April 8, 1957 the third plot was accepted for the north end of Lakeview Lane and Circle Drive.
There was a conditional acceptance of dedicated roads on November 22, 1955.
On June 25, 1957 the final plot was accepted that included Lakeview Lane and the north end by the lake.
Bellwood is another lake community with a private lake and recreational area. The homeowners association recently constructed a new pavilion located near the swimming area.
There are 105 homes in this development.
Fourteen lots in the original plot are located on Bell Road and are in the association.
