Plain Planning & Zoning Commission approves preliminary plat for Oak Grove (PZ‑25‑4)
Summary
The Plain Planning & Zoning Commission voted to approve preliminary plat PZ‑25‑4 for Oak Grove, allowing engineering to proceed; staff said utility service from the Mid Ohio project is expected in June 2028 and will determine final construction timing.
The Plain Planning & Zoning Commission voted to approve preliminary plat PZ‑25‑4 for Oak Grove, located at 10522 U.S. 42 (Madison County Parcel 04‑00816), giving the project permission to proceed to engineering for a future final plat.
The motion to approve PZ‑25‑4 was made during the commission’s meeting and seconded; commissioners voted in favor and the item was approved. An unidentified commission member who moved the item stated, "I'll go ahead and motion to approve p z dash 25 dash 4." The vote was taken by voice and recorded as in favor by those present.
Staff and the applicant, Wade Dunham of Shepherd Excavating, told commissioners the development’s plan history dates to 2008 and has returned with minor revisions and extensions since then. Staff characterized the preliminary plat as an engineering step to prepare for a final plat rather than a final approval of construction details.
Commissioners asked about utility availability and timing. Staff said utility service for the site depends on the Mid Ohio utility project and that, according to staff, Mid Ohio’s expected completion date is June 2028, noting the site is under active site preparation but has no above‑ground structures yet.
The commission’s approval grants the applicant the ability to continue engineering and utility coordination; staff said the final plat and construction will be contingent on utilities coming online.
No amendments or conditions were recorded in the transcript; staff noted that minor changes between preliminary and final plat could include utility easements or minor lot layout tweaks. The commission adjourned after the vote.
