1. ““[I]t is apparent that a county plan commission has authority to make certain decisions, namely, a decision regarding the approval or disapproval of plats and to take certain other action relative thereto which would amount to a decision. As for example, a ‘decision’ of a county plan commission pertaining to the approval of plats, wherein said commission has exclusive control, is the type of situation contemplated by the provisions of the statute; and such a decision is reviewable by the certiorari procedure provided for in [section 18-7-5-57].” See also Chustak v. Porter County Plan Comm’n (1972), 152 Ind. App. 618 , 284 N.E.2d 549 .”
