Zerkle Alone Opposes New Middleport Zoning Ordinance
Middleport village council approved the first reading of a comprehensive zoning ordinance by a 5-1 vote with Councilman John Zerkle dissenting. A public hearing will precede final passage as planners from Carroll W. Hill and Associates and the village planning commission outline aims to regulate land use and building siting. The measure, costing $5000 with federal Urban Renewal funding, seeks orderly growth, with flexible rules for existing lots and plans for a sewage lagoon site review by engineers Floyd G. Brown and Associates and the Ohio River Valley Sanitation Commission.
