Key Actions & Decisions

• ◆ A 70-unit housing concept on land between West State and Washington streets was presented to Albion’s village board in August, while a proposed zoning change for the two parcels remained under review. The summer records do not establish approval of either the development or the zoning law.
• ◆ Mike Lill of CDS Monarch described the intended use at the August 12 meeting as 70 units: 15 for senior veterans, 15 for residents 55 and older and 40 multifamily units, plus a pharmacy. Those figures were part of his presentation, rather than a construction approval.
• ◆ The parcels are 73.5-4-1.111 and 73.5-4-1.116. On July 14, trustees voted to send the requested change from mobile-home-park zoning to Residential/Offices/Limited Business to the county Planning Board for review. On August 12, the village introduced Local Law 8 and continued the public hearing to August 26. A business owner’s attorney objected to the proposal and identified an incorrect parcel number in the advertised notice, according to the minutes.
