Plat Committee Openings- March 17, 2011

The Steuben County Plan Commission has openings for volunteers to serve on the Plat Committee.

The Plat Committee is a three to five member body which hears and approves minor subdivisions. The committee will meet on an as-needed basis throughout the month during business hours.

Appointments will be made at the Wednesday, April 6, 2011, Plan Commission meeting and will last through December 31, 2011.

Anybody interested in applying should contact the Plan Commission Office to receive an application. We kindly ask that applications be submitted no later than March 25, 2011.

The Plat Committee was recently created by an amendment to the Steuben County Zoning Ordinance. It will allow for quicker, more flexible, and less expensive review process for minor subdivisions while still protecting the due process rights of property owners. We are very excited about this change and believe it will better serve the community.
