Mayor’s announcements and proclamations: The mayor proclaimed April 2025 as Dispatcher Appreciation Week to mark 50 years of a dedicated dispatch position in Greenfield and reminded the council the official ribbon cutting for the Turf Skateboard Park is scheduled for June 7. The mayor said the city and volunteers have worked to ready the site and thanked the City of Franklin for equipment and donated topsoil.

Special use permits and site reviews: The council approved several land‑use matters during the public hearings portion of the meeting.

- 8512 W. Forest Home Ave (multi‑tenant auto restyling center): Council approved a special use permit, site review and landscaping plans to convert a single‑tenant building to multi‑tenant use for auto body paint, interior repair, glass replacement, detailing and tire services. Staff reported the building will require 24 parking spaces; the applicant will provide 21 and the council indicated it may waive the shortfall. The Plan Commission recommended approval.

- 7820 W. Leighton Ave (Mountain Dip / food truck): Council approved a special use permit and site review allowing the Mountain Dip food truck to use an on‑site commercial kitchen as its base. The applicant said the truck would be parked behind the building and not serve customers from the parking lot. Plan Commission recommended approval and staff reported two full‑time employees for the truck’s operation.

- 3322 W. Loomis Rd (Mr. Chicken food truck): Council approved the special use permit and—after neighbor testimony about late‑night noise—amended the permit to allow return/storage activity until 2 a.m. Thursday–Sunday on a six‑month trial basis, with a staff review scheduled at the end of the trial.

- Lake Auto Glass ownership/business change (4440 S. 108th St): Council approved a resolution allowing an ownership and business change for the existing auto glass replacement shop. Staff said the site was recently reviewed and the principal outstanding concern was storage of glass outdoors; the council directed the new owner to keep glass inside.

Contracts and capital projects: The council approved several agreements:

- Agreement with R.A. Smith for engineering services, $72,800.

- Contract with Garland Company for the Lawn Enforcement Center flat‑roof replacement (Project 2505), $523,545.

- Purchase of a street‑light pole mounting attachment (discussion and approval recorded).

Financial and administrative actions: The council approved a transfer of $14,532 from an escrow clearing account that exceeded a 7% threshold, set sewer service rates consistent with the 2025 adopted budget, and approved schedules of disbursements and reimbursements.

Appointments and licenses: The council confirmed a package of mayoral and council appointments to boards and commissions (planning commission, library board, Board of Public Works, tree commission, board of review and others) and approved operator license applications for 2024‑25. Several outdoor special events were approved and fees waived, including a Knockout Rose Day community event for May 9, Ridge Food Truck Nights, Greenfield Lions Club Cruising Car Show, and the Salvation Army rummage and car show events.

Votes at a glance (selected items):

- Approve special use permit and site review: 8512 W. Forest Home Ave — outcome: approved (tally: yes:4, no:0). Plan Commission recommended approval; parking provided 21 of 24 required spaces (shortage noted).

- Approve special use permit and site review: 7820 W. Leighton Ave (Mountain Dip) — outcome: approved (tally: yes:4, no:0). No letters of objection on file.

- Approve special use permit (3322 W. Loomis Rd, Mr. Chicken) with amended hours (2 a.m. Thu–Sun for six months, review after six months) — outcome: approved (tally: yes:4, no:0).

- Approve resolution for ownership/business change: 4440 S. 108th St (Lake Auto Glass) — outcome: approved (tally: yes:4, no:0).

- Confirm committee and commission appointments and reappointments (multiple items) — outcome: approved (tally: yes:4, no:0 for each recorded confirmation).

- Approve outdoor special events including Knockout Rose Day (May 9) and Ridge Food Truck Nights — outcome: approved (tally: yes:4, no:0 for each recorded item); council waived fees where noted.

Why it matters: The actions affect multiple neighborhoods and city functions — from downtown and commercial zoning (auto‑service uses) to community events and capital maintenance (roof and engineering contracts). The temporary hours amendment for Mr. Chicken is a near‑term item that the council will review after six months.

What’s next: The council scheduled a six‑month review of the Mr. Chicken permit. Staff will continue to work with applicants on site landscaping and code compliance deadlines for previously approved projects; the Turf Skateboard Park ribbon cutting is set for June 7.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Common Council Meeting 4/15/2025 Part 1","oneSentenceSummary","At its April 15 meeting the Common Council approved a package of special use permits, agreements, outdoor events, board appointments and two construction contracts, and the mayor announced a June 7 ribbon cutting for the Turf Skateboard Park.","taxTitle","Greenfield, Milwaukee County, Wisconsin","taxId",51134,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6271915,"Greenfield approves 2 a.m. trial hours for Mr. Chicken food truck with six‑month review",915,1246000,2161000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3028442-da30aa868cb166ec6c18128cac7f4c4b&start=1246&end=2161","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3028442-da30aa868cb166ec6c18128cac7f4c4b/thumbnail_1246000.jpg","/articles/6271915/Greenfield/Milwaukee-County/Wisconsin/Greenfield-approves-2-am-trial-hours-for-Mr-Chicken-food-truck-with-sixmonth-review","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6271915-a28f936f66803b32b4e4e3c922103e01/orig.mp4?Expires=1771156768&Signature=EK6xa5PTJiAHXV~j-8YO82rWy3fCLej-hz~OoY6gATDcWqSEvxUrY8TUwrNrME4W0s3GEO-koMCMnXdAcMphm7kGcVYPX3Tsa1pyIRkiLpFCdno~BHbkCoin3jOn8QDEVBbO6xSmhHlMLWK5YfnlHAkNUrwf73BJ5rWuoOXVpOytoknHis7NxqSFx~S3N5LmuOt5v5sLW2nI6RdbKlSFXNFGQeenLeJ2A-9gBMbDWSN435-4k6JOKRNn9BYc6hLFLPw3YbM0avxm97dDjrWJRcxRgXHcI4y7mBLptQraQo5CxtOTzV2qHqh6RJ~uMNwJ7ZvkfrTOmx4SmQgu5f01uw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Greenfield Common Council on April 15 approved a special use permit allowing the Mr. Chicken food truck to use a commercial kitchen at 3322 W. Loomis Road as its home base and to store the vehicle overnight, with an amendment permitting return/overnight activity until 2 a.m. Thursday through Sunday on a six‑month trial basis.

Neighbors at the public hearing said late‑night activity at the site has previously produced loud music and disturbances. “Booming like shaking our windows music,” resident Isidoro Lopez said, describing episodes that woke household members and rattled windows. Lopez asked the council to limit late‑night activity and to clarify what the operator would do when the truck returned after midnight.

Planning staff told the council that Mr. Chicken would not operate the food truck as a restaurant on site; the truck will be prepared and serviced from the on‑site kitchen and then deployed to other jurisdictions. The Planning Commission recommended approval of the requested permit with operating hours at 10 a.m.–midnight Monday–Wednesday and 10 a.m.–2 a.m. Thursday–Sunday.

Applicant Mustafa Almanza told the council he planned minimal overnight activity and said the truck’s interior and work flow are highly organized. “I have OCD, so everything is, like, has to be, like, you know, organized and very quick system,” Almanza said, promising that returns would not produce prolonged work or loud disturbances in the parking lot.

Council members discussed the tradeoff between a business’s operating patterns (food trucks often run late in other cities) and the adjacent residential neighborhood’s need for quiet. To balance those concerns, a council member moved to approve the special use permit with an amendment: allow storage/return activity until 2 a.m. Thursday–Sunday for six months, followed by a staff review and return to the council.

The motion carried unanimously. The council recorded the vote with all members present voting to approve.

The council’s action makes the permit conditional: the 2 a.m. window is temporary, and the council will revisit the hours and any neighborhood complaints after the six‑month trial period. If the operator violates conditions or if complaints persist, staff or residents may request enforcement or revisit the permit.

Notes: The Planning Commission had previously reviewed and recommended approval of the permit; no written letters of objection or support were reported at the meeting.

The council scheduled a six‑month review of the amended special use permit in its calendar; that review will determine whether the 2 a.m. allowance remains in effect, is modified, or is rescinded.","After neighbors complained about late‑night noise, the Common Council approved a special use permit allowing Mr. Chicken to store its food truck at 3322 W. Loomis Road with hours extended to 2 a.m. Thursday–Sunday for six months, subject to a review.","actionData","errors"]
