The Albion Village Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA) took steps Wednesday to finalize a lingering request for additional signage on South Main Street, revisiting an issue that was placed on the back burner earlier this spring.
Meeting briefly at 5:00 p.m. on May 20, 2026, the board focused its attention on a property located at 204 South Main Street, legally identified as tax map 73.10-1-23.1. The primary order of business was to reinstate a public hearing that had previously been suspended.
According to the official minutes, the board moved to reopen the hearing specifically to address the applicant's request for "additional signage." Public hearings are often suspended when a board lacks a quorum, requires more information from the applicant, or needs additional time to review site plans. Wednesday’s action signals the board is ready to move forward with a determination on the matter.
Following the reinstatement, the board immediately moved to close the public hearing. The closure of a hearing typically indicates that the public comment portion of the review process has concluded and the board can now deliberate on the application behind closed doors or render a decision at a future date.
The specific details regarding the nature of the signage—such as dimensions, lighting, or intended use—were not detailed in the provided minutes.
In addition to the signage discussion, the board handled standard procedural matters. Members unanimously voted to approve the minutes from their previous regular session held on April 2, 2026.
The meeting was adjourned shortly after the signage motions were completed. No other applications or variance requests were listed on the agenda for the evening.
Residents with interest in the final outcome of the signage request for 204 South Main Street should consult the village’s upcoming meeting schedules, as a decision is likely to be rendered in the near future now that the public hearing has been closed.
