LaPorte County Planning Commission October 27, 2026

The LaPorte County Planning Commission met on October 27, 2026. It approved a motion, with one member opposed, to vacate approximately 182 feet of undeveloped East Lakeshore Drive adjacent to lots 4379–4384 near Hudson Lake. The petition concerned only the platted road along the applicant’s property; officials and the applicant stated that access via North Malberry Lane and Cottonwood Lane would remain unaffected. The commission discussed how to describe the segment in the record, and staff noted that GIS and real-estate records would be amended after recording.

In old business, members discussed coordinating committee work on solar and data-center ordinances and overlay districts. A representative of Antaro Group, the consultant that worked on the comprehensive plan, is scheduled to present at the November 24 meeting. The meeting also included a brief discussion of staff turnover and retention, but no related action was taken. No procurement activity, contract awards, or spending decisions were identified.
