Richmond Advisory Plat Committee of July 29, 2026

The Richmond Advisory Plat Committee convened on July 29, 2026, to consider a minor subdivision petition (SP2-2026) submitted by G. McCormick Farm Services Inc., represented by Gary Hahn of Whitman Engineering. The request involved splitting a 5.5-acre tract from a larger 124.344-acre agricultural parcel at 6155 Hodgin Road to facilitate the construction of an electrical substation by American Electric Power. The committee reviewed the subdivision's compliance with local zoning and development ordinances, noting prior approval of the special exception for the substation use by the Board of Zoning Appeals in May 2026. After discussion, the committee voted unanimously to approve the subdivision, enabling the utility project to proceed with recording the subdivision and subsequent construction. No additional budget or contract awards were discussed during the meeting.
