• Sponseller Brothers' petition to rezone ground from an agricultural district to a residential district. The property is on the south side of Gault Street and west of CR 650W in Harrison Township.
The county commissioners will hear the rezoning April 24 at 10 a.m.
• Albert and Sharon Kohler's petition to rezone ground from a commercial district to a residential district. The property is on the west side of Harkless Road and east of Ind. 13 in Turkey Creek Township.

The following preliminary plats were approved:
