Commission approves preliminary plan to split Lake Ridge lot into two residential parcels
Summary
The commission approved a preliminary plan to replat a lot in Lake Ridge into two sewered residential lots, following presentations about cleanup, removal of squatters and shared‑well arrangements; applicant expects to return for final after meeting conditions.
The Kosciusko County Area Plan Commission approved a preliminary plan to replat Lot 1 in Lake Ridge into two residential lots as part of Subdivision 2026‑7, a proposal that relies on sewer availability for smaller lot sizes.
James Bausch, a REMAX broker representing the owners, described efforts to clean up the property, remove squatters and address site issues since inheriting the parcel. He said the owners are not trying to profit excessively and are working to make the property buildable. "They're not looking to make a bunch of money on this," Bausch said.
Staff and commissioners discussed technical matters including shared wells, septic exclusions because the parcel sits in the sewer district, and required written documentation for well agreements; the health department indicated that a shared‑well arrangement can be acceptable with a formal agreement. The commission approved the preliminary plan and directed the applicant to return for final plat after meeting conditions cited by staff.
