For all approved plats the committee recorded standard conditions: plats must comply with applicable federal, state and local laws; no off‑site drainage or tile drainage shall be obstructed; required agricultural, drainage or airport covenants be shown if applicable; and plats may not be recorded until the applicant files written evidence of compliance with any conditions required by the DeKalb County Board of Health, the DeKalb County Highway Department, the DeKalb County Drainage Board, the DeKalb County Surveyor, DeKalb County Soil and Water Conservation District, or other applicable agencies.
Next steps Applicants must submit required agency clearances before plat recording occurs. The committee noted a subcommittee is reviewing county ordinance items such as setbacks and animal‑density limits; any policy changes would be considered separately by the full plan commission.
