SUBDIVISIONS

The County Planner is the contact person to provide assistance through the subdivision process. If a subdivision consists of six (6) lots or less, it is considered a Minor Subdivision and can be approved by the staff with a reduced fee of $50. Subdivided land qualifying for an exemption may also be approved by county staff; The Plat Review fee for an exemption is waived. Applicants have 30 days to file the approved subdivision plat with the Register of Deeds. Any plat that does not qualify as an exemption or a Minor Subdivision will need approval from the Planning Commission.

The Planning Commission meets monthly. For placement on the agenda of a meeting, four (4) copies of the plat must be submitted no later than 10 days before the meeting--usually a Friday no later than 5:00 p.m. A fee of $200 is also due at that time. The County Planner will inspect the site before the meeting and report on the completed construction along with any discrepancies between the property and County standards. A member of the DOT (Department of Transportation) may also sit in on the meeting if there is a road which may be petitioned for State takeover. The final subdivision plat must be recorded with the Register of Deeds within 30 days of Final approval by the Planning Commission.
