The Albion Zoning Board of Appeals moved quickly to wrap up a procedural item regarding signage in the village's business district during its Wednesday evening meeting.
Held at 5:00 p.m. on May 20, 2026, the meeting focused primarily on a property located at 204 South Main Street. The property, identified on tax maps as 73.10-1-23.1, has been the subject of previous board discussions regarding a request for additional signage.
According to the official minutes, the board's first substantive action was a motion to reinstate a public hearing that had previously been suspended for this address. While the minutes do not specify the exact nature of the signage proposed or the reasons for the prior suspension, requests for additional signage in the South Main Street corridor often involve village code adherence to maintain the historic character of the district.
Immediately following the reinstatement, the board moved to close the public hearing. The sequence of motions suggests the board may have already gathered necessary public input or that no new speakers were present to offer testimony on the reheard item.
The board also approved the minutes from their previous meeting held on April 2, 2026.
The meeting was chaired by Craig Tuohey, with Board Members Jeanette Riley, Bruce Dugan, and Tony Wynn present. Trellis Pore was absent. Deputy Mayor Mayor Riley was also listed as present for the session.
The Zoning Board of Appeals is scheduled to hold its next meeting in June.
