Resident seeks county clarification after sign placed on Probyn property
Summary
Resident Hans Soon asked the board to clarify why a sign was installed on the Probyn property (parcel 09-16-300-006), saying he had been told the county would not participate; Chairperson Travis McGlasson said the Steuben Township Road Commissioner approved the sign and county staff only assisted in placement.
During public comment Hans Soon asked the board for clarification about a sign installed on the Probyn property (parcel 09-16-300-006). He said he left the previous meeting under the impression the county would not participate in installing the sign and that he learned the Highway Department had helped put it up.
"He requested that he get clarification on the sign that was put on the Probyn property 09-16-300-006," the transcript records. Soon asked what happened and why county staff were involved.
Chairperson Travis McGlasson responded that the Steuben Township Road Commissioner approved the sign and that county Highway Department employees were only assisting "like they would with any other sign in the County," and that the board gave no directions to install it. McGlasson said "The County is not involved." The Highway Department's assistance was characterized as typical operational help rather than a board-directed action.
Bill Maupin, who attended the Highway & Zoning committee meeting, told the board the committee is working on guidelines and continues to coordinate on the issue. The transcript does not record further investigation, directives, or a subsequent formal action on the sign issue.
The board did not vote on the sign matter during the April 9 meeting; the matter remained a point of public inquiry and committee discussion.
