New Lexington, OH asked in Land Use & Zoning for Ohio

Q: If a County is not zoned does that mean AEP can put a pole anywhere on your property?

AEP has no easement but says they went by the zoning laws and can also claim adverse possession since the pole has been there for about 19 years (They think, but cannot find any records). All we want for them to do since their pole has been almost destroyed by wood peckers is to move the pole to a different location. It currently sits in the middle of the church property and is stopping the progress of the church to build on. What started everything was the repair and replacement to the roof of the church and AEP says it is in violation of their air rights.
