Final plat approval for area subdivisions

Kosciusko County’s Area Plan Commission gave final plat approval to two residential subdivisions in the Lakeland area and granted preliminary approval to another subdivision in Wayne Township at last Wednesdays monthly meeting. Lynn Hinesley’s development of a residential subdivision, called Lyncrest Addition, was unanimously approved by the commissioners. The 1.87 acre addition, located on the north side of CR 650 N, west of SR 13, was granted preliminary plat approval at the September 28 meeting. The second final plat approval was granted a 60-day extension moments before board members approved the petition. Buttermilk Bay subdivision, to be built on the east side of Lake Wawasee south of Channel Drive, was granted preliminary plat approval in the 1981 October meeting. APC by-laws require petitioners to appear before the commissioners no later than one year after the preliminary plat approval is granted.

The board’s approval of the petition was granted with the requirement that a notation instructing property owners to take care of the road leading to the subdivision is included on the final plat. Donald Coachran’s bid for preliminary plat approval for the Oak Estates subdivision in Wayne Township was approved by the commissioners in another unanimous vote. A neighbor to
