The Ripley County Planning Commission approved four agricultural subdivisions at their March 1 meeting: Douglas and Gloria Holland's one-lot ag subdivision on N. Finks Road in Osgood; Dale and Jill Miller's two-lot ag subdivision on N. County Line Road in Milan; Melvin and Mary Richardson's one-lot ag subdivision on W. County Road in Osgood; and Paul and Donna Borgman's three-lot ag subdivision on N. Finks Road in Osgood.

JRM Development applied for a rezone from the Residential-3 District to the Roadside Business District for Part of Lots #24 and Lot #23 at 301 Rick Street in Milan. The request was sent to the town of Milan with a favorable recommendation.

Two items were postponed. Ed Fraley's request for a rezone from the Agriculture-2 and Residential-2 District's to Road Side Business District was postponed because he did not have a Certificate of Occupancy for his building. R. G. Roberts Enterprises, Inc.'s application for Primary Approval of Hunter's Glen Subdivision in Washington Township was also postponed because he didn't have all the required paperwork completed.

Board of Zoning Appeals member Sue French reported the Rules of Procedure for the Planning Commission are in the works and soon to be completed. French serves on a committee working on the project with consultant, Harry Sheridan.

Nine of twelve members of the Planning Commission were present: Sam Row, Kay Hunger, Roger Lang, Bob Gray, Henry Nickell, Covell Mills, Jeff French, Steve Youngman and Dave Osborne. Executive Director Tad Brinson and Attorney John Ertel were present to advise the Commission. The next meeting of the Ripley County Area Planning Commission will be Tuesday, April 5, at 7:00 p.m. at the Ripley County Courthouse Annex.
