A proposed zoning plan was voted on by residents of Allen Township in Hancock County in the May 6 Primary Election.

Unofficial results from the Hancock County Board of Elections show the measure passing with more than 58 percent of the vote.

The ballot language of the issue is below:

A Resolution enacted under Chapter 519 of the Ohio Revised Code, governing the unincorporated portions of Allen Township, Hancock County, Ohio, for said purposes to establish the Township as an agricultural district; to regulate the location and use of structures, and lands for trade, industry, agriculture, residence and for public and semipublic or other specified uses; and to regulate yards, courts, and open spaces; to regulate the density of population and providing for changes in the regulations; defining certain terms; providing for enforcement; establishing a Board of Zoning Appeals; and imposing penalties for the violation of this Resolution.

On Election Day a judge ruled that votes cast in the Allen Township zoning resolution issue would be counted on Tuesday.

Hancock County Common Pleas Court Judge Jonathan Starn Tuesday morning issued a decision overruling a request by One Power Company to temporarily prevent the counting of votes on the issue.

However, One Power Company’s efforts to nullify the votes will proceed and a pretrial hearing in the case will be held on Wednesday afternoon.
