▶Key Actions & Decisions
●Albion’s Zoning Board of Appeals approved a variance for four signs at 115 North Main Street, according to the village’s August 6 draft minutes. The record allows two signs on the front of the building and two on the back: on each side, one measuring 23 inches by 162 inches and one measuring 2 feet by 3 feet.
●The board opened a public hearing at 5:01 p.m., closed it at 5:12 p.m. and recorded all members present voting in favor of the variance. It referred another portion of the application to the Planning Board because of its historic nature, but the draft does not describe that separate request.
●The July 23 record had scheduled the hearing. A week after the variance meeting, the Planning Board’s August 13 minutes record approval of a sign application for the same address. Those records establish two board actions, but they do not supply the complete application, sign artwork or evidence of installation.

The August 6 PDF is visibly watermarked Draft. The July 23 filename also identifies that record as a draft, although the page has no visible draft watermark. Its approval is recorded in the August 6 draft. Neither source’s listing should be mistaken for independent proof of final approval of the August minutes.
