The Williams County Planning and Zoning Commission approved a minor subdivision and a zone change to heavy industrial to create a roughly 3.57-acre lot for expansion of an existing compression facility in Pleasant Valley Township. The parent property is approximately 119 acres; the proposed new lots are about 115.43 acres (to remain agricultural) and 3.57 acres (to be rezoned heavy industrial).

The applicant, represented by Melissa Cohen of Highland Sanderson System LLC, said the new lot is intended to allow expansion of an adjacent compression facility. Staff noted the township recommended approval and that the draft plat will be recorded only after the zone change is finalized and county plat-review steps are completed. Access to the property is County Road 21 (100 and Fifth Avenue Northwest).

Commissioners moved and seconded a motion to approve with staff comments; the motion carried by roll call. The approval allows the parcel to be used for heavy industrial purposes related to the existing compression facility once required permits and plat-recordation conditions are met.

Clarifying details from the hearing: parent parcel ~119 acres; new lot sizes ~115.43 acres and 3.57 acres; purpose is expansion of an adjacent compression facility; township recommended approval; recordation contingent on zone-change approval and standard plat reviews. The commission did not add conditions beyond staff comments at the meeting.
