The obtrusive messaging sign outside Glen Arbor’s town hall is coming down. At its regular meeting Tuesday, the Glen Arbor Township Board approved removal of the infamous eyesore by a vote of 4-1, with the opposing vote coming from township supervisor Peter VanNort. The motion was made by trustee John Peppler and seconded by treasurer Lee Houtteman, after Houtteman updated the board on his investigation into the cost and logistics of various options to replace the sign to meet the size requirement of the township’s zoning ordinance, as agreed by the board at its recent special meeting.
*** County commissioners balked Tuesday night and couldn’t follow through with plans to replace the heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) at the county government center. A special meeting will be held at 9 a.m. next Thursday, May 30 to further discuss options up to and including complete replacement of the system which was part of the original construction of the center in 2007-2008.
