ROSTERS AS OF NOVEMBER 2026
It is the Area Plan Commission of St. Joseph County: since the City of South Bend withdrew on December 1, 2019, to form its own plan commission, the county commission's jurisdiction is the unincorporated county and its member towns — which is to say, for Granger, the Area Plan Commission is the planning and zoning authority entire. It was this body whose May 2025 recommendation, 6–1, carried the second Microsoft parcel's rezoning on Cleveland Road, as the banked Businesses leg records. The commission's officers at their documented points: Daniel Brewer was its president in 2017, with Elizabeth Maradik vice-president; Adam DeVon was elected chair on February 19, 2025, with Tom England vice-chair, and was elected president again on January 20, 2026, with Eugene Matzat as vice-president and Tom England appointed to the executive committee. Its staff line runs from Larry Magliozzi, executive director in the 2017 minutes, through Abby Wiles, executive director in the county's 2021 comprehensive-plan procurement, to Sean Cline, named interim executive director by Resolution 269-25 effective February 22, 2025 — the name is printed "Sean Klein," as director of the Area Plan Commission, in the zoning board's December 2025 record; both printings stand, with the commission's own roster as settler. Molly Hannon sits as the Town of New Carlisle's representative, in the December 2025 record. The commission's plat committee carries a county health-department seat, filled November 18, 2025, by Brianna Nicole McCall, with David Atkins as alternate.
Its companion body, the Area Board of Zoning Appeals, is likewise appointed, and its March 11, 2026 minutes print its membership whole: DJ Tavernier, Tom Byers, Dr. Julie Lauck, Donny Ritsema, Lance Roush, Sidney Shafer, and Joe Velleman — the board that hears the variance petitions of unincorporated ground, Granger's included. The Drainage Board, the third appointed-or-ex-officio machine the ground answers to, is constituted by statute of the Board of Commissioners sitting with the County Surveyor: its membership is therefore the commissioners named in the banked leg (Baxmeyer, Morton, Hazen through 2026; Redman succeeding in District 1 from 2027) with the surveyor ex officio, and it is this board whose dewatering order touched the Microsoft campus construction on Cleveland Road in November 2026, as the banked Spine records. The mayor's-staff half of the checklist item has no object on this ground: there is no mayor. The unelected servants of an unincorporated place are county appointees, and they are now named.
