Planning Commission grants preliminary approval to five‑lot Tenacity Trail subdivision

On Jan. 7, 2026, the Adams Township Planning Commission granted preliminary approval to a five‑lot subdivision off Tenacity Trail and Misty Hollow Trail, a project whose engineer told the commission that required engineering conditions had been met.

Chairman Marty McKinney said the commission’s primary concern was ensuring adequate space for emergency vehicles to turn around. Bob Melnick, the project engineer, told the commission there would be sufficient room for emergency access. Following that assurance, Commissioner Marilyn Watson moved to grant preliminary approval; Jeff McCormick seconded the motion and the vote was unanimous.

The approval recorded in the meeting minutes is a preliminary endorsement of the subdivision layout and engineering compliance; final approval will be contingent on any outstanding engineering or administrative requirements that remain to be satisfied in later submissions. The commission did not record specific permitting deadlines at the meeting.

Action taken: preliminary approval motion by Marilyn Watson, seconded by Jeff McCormick; outcome: approved (unanimous).
