St. Joseph County Plat Committee unanimously approves five minor plats; Olry Peach Trail note corrected
Summary
The Plat Committee on Sept. 19, 2024, granted waivers and approved five minor plats, unanimously voting to approve each item. One plat, Olry Peach Trail, required a correction to a staff note (change 'Lot 2' to 'Lot 1') before finalization; a waiver for a 120-foot future-access opening was granted conditionally.
The St. Joseph County Plat Committee on Sept. 19, 2024, voted unanimously to grant waivers and approve five minor plats on its agenda, and approved the Sept. 5 minutes before adjourning.
The committee first considered the Kent's Road minor plat associated with Tom Schack. After granting the requested waivers, the committee approved the subdivision; the motions to grant waivers (moved by Unidentified Speaker 3) and to approve the plat (moved by Unidentified Speaker 1) carried on unanimous 'aye' votes.
The committee followed the same procedure for HP Old Cleveland, granting waivers and approving the plat "subject to the staff comments," after a motion to approve subject to staff comments was made by Unidentified Speaker 1. Bert Ashroad's minor plat likewise received waivers and approval after routine motions and unanimous votes.
Discussion on the Olry Peach Trail minor plat included a substantive staff correction: Unidentified Speaker 1 said the waiver being requested "is just for the 120 foot opening for future access on the lot" and noted a staff annotation incorrectly referenced "Lot 2" when no Lot 2 exists on the plat. The committee agreed the staff note must be revised to refer to "Lot 1" before finalization; they granted the waiver and approved the plat conditioned on that revision.
The CS Realty Ventures second minor plat was granted waivers and approved after the committee recorded unanimous aye votes. The committee then voted to approve the Sept. 5, 2024 minutes and moved to adjourn.
