Summary

Both agenda items on the Development Review Committee agenda were approved by voice vote (recorded as 4–0): Bartholomew development plan (DP2026-1818) and Victory Christian Academy addition (DP2026-4). Each approval included staff conditions on permitting or deed recording.

The Porter County Development Review Committee voted to approve two development plans during the session.

Bartholomew (DP2026-1818): Motion to approve the development plan "as planned" was made by a committee member and seconded; the committee voted in favor and approved the plan. Approval is limited to the plan showing two cabins, one barn and an agricultural accessory structure; septic design for the restroom-equipped barn must be submitted and approved by the county before that barn’s building permit.

Victory Christian Academy (DP2026-4): The committee approved the classroom addition and site improvements subject to coming to terms on a deed of dedication for private right-of-way encroachments and acceptance of that deed by the Board of Commissioners (staff suggested authorizing foundation-level work if highway and staff preliminarily approve, while tying final occupancy to recording). Both approvals were recorded by voice vote and noted in the proceeding as 4–0 in favor.
