The permit request will be submitted to Richard Kemper, Kosciusko County Surveyor.
Phase II of the Beyer Farm Trail will connect Phase I from behind the Kosciusko Community Hospital to Hodges Addition.
Permits could be required because the 300-foot boardwalk portion of the trail will go through the wetlands south of the hospital and cross over the county's Beyer Brady Ditch, according to planning information.
The board also approved a request from the building and planning department to submit a claim voucher to the Indiana Department of Transportation for reimbursement as part of the Transportation Enhancement Grant that was awarded to the Chinworth Bridge Trail portion of the Lake City Greenway.
