Plat Committee Grants Primary Approval for IEC 1 Major Subdivision in St. Joseph County
Summary
St. Joseph County Plat Committee granted waivers and primary approval for the IEC 1 major subdivision, a roughly 690-acre, six‑lot proposal at the northwest corner of State Road 2 and Larrison Boulevard, after staff and technical reviewers recommended approval and no members of the public spoke.
On May 1, 2025, the St. Joseph County Plat Committee granted primary approval and related waivers for the IEC 1 major subdivision, a proposed six‑lot subdivision of about 690 acres at the northwest corner of State Road 2 and Larrison Boulevard.
Sean Klein, area plan commission director, said staff reviewed the proposal and recommended approval. "This is a major primary subdivision. It's located at the Northwest corner of State Road 2 and Larrison Boulevard. It will consist of 6 lots," Klein said, adding that "staff has reviewed this subdivision and finds that if the waiver is granted, it should be granted primary approval." Klein told the committee there are no environmental hazards or wetlands on the site, that rights of way are shown as required, and that the development will be served by municipal water and municipal sewer. He also said the surveyor, engineer and health department recommended approval and that the plat went through technical review on April 3.
The petitioner, Adam Beery, gave his name and address for the record (525 West Washington Street, South Bend). The committee opened a public hearing and recorded no speakers for or against the subdivision. Committee members moved and seconded motions to grant the requested waivers and to grant primary approval; both motions passed on voice votes. The meeting record shows the chair called for aye votes and said, "Motion carries," when no opposition was voiced.
The waiver request noted in staff remarks asked that the committee grant relief from "section 1 53 1 35 h" to allow openings in a five‑foot non‑access easement for future access, subject to county engineer approval. Committee minutes record the waivers as granted and primary approval as granted; no further schedule for the secondary plat was stated in the meeting record.
Primary approval advances the plat review process under county procedures; the transcript did not record any conditions beyond the granted waiver or a timeline for next steps.
