Planning Commission grants rural exception to split 115-acre Wildlife Ridge parcel

Miami County Board of County Commissioners · August 12, 2026

Summary

Planning Director Kenny Cook told the board the Planning Commission granted a rule exception that would allow a 115-acre Wildlife Ridge parcel to be divided into two lots, with the new lot accessing via a state-maintained frontage road and subject to state approval of the entrance.

Kenny Cook, Miami County planning director, summarized a recent Planning Commission meeting in which the commission granted a rural subdivision rule exception for the Wildlife Ridge area. Cook said an individual is seeking to buy the roughly 115-acre parcel and wants to divide it into two lots while retaining much of the land for agricultural use; because the proposed new entrance would access a state-maintained frontage road on K-68, the state must approve that entrance before a final subdivision plat can be recorded.

Cook said staff was supportive because the change would not create a new entrance onto a county road that would trigger road upgrades. He said the Planning Commission's approval was a preliminary action and that the final subdivision plat will come back to the Board of County Commissioners for dedication of right-of-way and easements when the planning process is complete.
