Regional Planning Commission Duties

The responsibilities of the planning commission are spelled out in the Ohio Revised Code (ORC), and the commission is guided by the Wyandot County Subdivision Regulations.

The purpose of regional planning regulations is to ensure that proposed lots in Wyandot County have access to suitable roads, to sanitary services or are able to support sewage treatment systems, and have adequate access for utilities. A set of regulations governing how land is divided in a county gives the property owner confidence that they have the full intended use of that property.

The Wyandot County Regional Planning Commission is made up of nine at-large representatives from the townships, a representative from the Board of Commissioners, the Public Health Commissioner, Soil and Water Conservation District, the County Engineer's office, and an Extension Educator. In addition, two citizen representatives serve on the commission.
