Planning Commission approves Sandy Beach subdivision in Bremen Township

In the heart of Bremen, Indiana, the Marshall County Plan Commission convened to discuss a significant development proposal that could reshape the Sandy Beach area. The meeting, held on May 22, 2025, brought together local officials and community members to weigh the merits of a minor subdivision application for the Lake of the Woods, Phase 2.

Robert Aloy, representing the applicant, Mr. Munoz, presented plans to create four new lots—Lot 7A, Lot 8A, Lot 306A, and Lot 37A—on Lakeshore Drive. This proposal is rooted in a history of land consolidation and subdivision dating back to 1990, when previous approvals allowed for the vacation of certain lots. The current application aims to navigate the complexities of the land's past while adhering to modern subdivision regulations.

The commission's analysis highlighted several key findings. Firstly, the proposed subdivision complies with existing regulations, ensuring that it meets the necessary standards for development. Additionally, the plan takes into account the natural features of the area, demonstrating a commitment to environmental considerations, particularly regarding air and stream pollution. The layout of the subdivision has been designed to prioritize the health and safety of future residents, with no new streets planned, which could help maintain the area's tranquil character.

After thorough discussion, the staff and Technical Review Committee recommended approval of the application, signaling a positive step forward for the Sandy Beach subdivision. As the meeting concluded, the potential for new residential opportunities in this picturesque lakeside community left attendees with a sense of anticipation for the future.
