60 Lot Subdivision Planned For 14.5 Acres On West Roberts Road
January 22, 2024
A new 60-lot subdivision named “Makaira West’ is planned for West Roberts Road in Cantonment.
The 60 lots would be located on 14.5 acres between Twisted Oak Drive and Camellia Drive.
The project is currently before the Escambia County Development Review committee. It is set for a public meeting on Wednesday, January 24 at 1 p.m. at the Escambia County Central Complex Building at 363 West Park Place.

If this passes it breaks the law according to Escambia County Development Review Committee and the Escambia County Commissioners.
When they ran utilities and added the new housing at the end of West Roberts several years ago- they were supposed to make another egress through Copper Ridge to Pine Forest. When they didn’t we met with the Development Board and Commissioners- they explained why they weren’t doing it (which we didn’t agree with but accepted) but stated no other developments would be allowed since there’s only one egress- the curve on West Roberts. This development would contradict that statement- which we were shown to be county ordinances/law.
I see water. Are these lots planned to be on septic?
It’s getting ridiculous in this area. Pine Forest is already a constant stream of insane traffic and accidents. The poor coyotes are roaming the neighborhoods because they’re run out of their homes and authorities don’t care enough to relocate them. Our County Commission have all become realtors from the kickbacks and don’t care about our ecosystems or wildlife. This is lovely Pensacola not Homestead Fl., with their packed housing but it’s beginning to look like it.
Wow sixty families or households living on 14 acres I cannot imagine that.At times I’m too close to others on my 3.5 acres bordered by a 24 acres swamp.Makes me glad I only have to pay several hundred a year to the county to “own” my old 1944 Ponderosa.A.W. Thompson
Just great! Pine Forest Road north of Nine Mile is already a drag strip!
If This is approved you’ll have to do something about West Roberts and Pineforest roads both including the intersection since this has become the cut through and building boom of NWF.
