APC approves subdivision and rezoning for Adams property in Decatur County

Decatur County’s Advisory Plan Commission approved APC petition 2025-30 on a motion and second to allow Anthony and Saundra Adams to subdivide 1.5 acres from a 15.79-acre parcel and rezone that 1.5-acre portion from A-1 to A-2 for a single-family detached dwelling. The property is located just east of 4561 West County Road 650 North in Greensburg, Adams Township.

The petition was introduced by the commission chair during the meeting; the chair said the request falls under Decatur County ordinance sections 9-15 and 9-20(7). Saundra Adams, one of the applicants, gave a brief presentation using a map, saying the house site and driveway are shown in red and that "we just wanna rezone at the back half where the house will be back into the woods just a little bit to make 1 and a half acres." The commission noted the proposed lot shape and boundaries and asked no further questions.

A board member moved to vote on APC petition 2025-30 and Saundra Adams seconded. The chair congratulated the applicants and reminded them to keep in touch with the county office as they move forward with permits. The motion was approved as recorded in the meeting; the transcript does not include a roll-call tally.

Earlier in the meeting the commission approved the minutes from its Nov. 5 meeting and completed an official signing of a revitalization ordinance. With the agenda complete, the commission moved to adjourn.

What’s next: the applicants were advised to contact the county office to complete permitting and any administrative steps required for building; the meeting record does not specify additional hearings or appeals related to APC petition 2025-30.
