The appeal matters most because the committee’s recommendation will go to the Common Council for final approval on June 10; any outstanding compliance or inspection issues raised by city staff could affect whether a permit is granted.

Officer (community police) summarized the city’s case, saying staff received neighborhood objection letters and a history of animal complaints and inspection concerns tied to the property. “It was too many animals for the property and too many neighborhood objections, to safely approve that without any kind of follow‑up,” the officer said. The officer told the committee the applicant originally requested authorization for four dogs and five cats; at the time of the hearing the household had three dogs and four cats and the animals on the property were licensed and vaccinated.

Applicant Natasha Mattson told the committee she and her family reduced occupants and animals after a separation in the household and that one dog serves as her daughter’s emotional‑support animal. Mattson said she did not have documentation for the support animal at the hearing and that the household had obtained licenses and vaccinations in April.

Committee members and city staff discussed outstanding inspection and ordinance violations at the address. Inspector Blair White (city records) told the committee a pending complaint remains open and that “there are several ordinance violations that have to be corrected yet” and that an inspector was still working through them. The city attorney and police recommended the committee obtain updated documentation and inspection confirmation before final approval.

After discussion, a committee member moved to hold the appeal to the committee’s next meeting and asked Officer Mavis to re‑inspect the premises and for the applicants to file an updated cover letter listing the animals that will remain permanently. That motion was seconded and carried. The motion as passed was to hold the appeal to the committee’s next meeting (scheduled for June 16) and request an updated application and follow‑up inspection; the committee did not reverse the denial at this meeting.

What happens next: Committee staff and enforcement officers will work with the applicant to update the permit application with a current list of animals and to confirm whether outstanding inspection/ordinance items have been corrected. The committee’s recommendation will be forwarded to the Common Council on June 10; any council action could finalize the permit outcome.

Details recorded in the meeting record show the address on the application as 324 North Oakland Avenue and that the applicant stated current household animals as three dogs and four cats. The committee emphasized that any excess permit, if granted, would be specific to the animals listed on the approved application and would not authorize additional animals beyond those listed.

For people who asked when the Common Council will act, staff said the council meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, June 10 at 6 p.m. in the next room; committee recommendations are advisory to council.

The matter matters because the committee’s recommendation will be forwarded to the Common Council for final action; committee members weighed whether recent online material and an anonymous tip should delay or block the renewal.

Alderman (committee member) said she found the business advertising on the RubMaps website and cited the ordinance language that makes such advertising a ground for denial when it indicates sexualized services outside what state law permits. Lieutenant Mahoney of the police department told the committee officers were aware of the listing and that their officer’s review on May 8 did not find advertising of explicit sexual services and that the department had one unsubstantiated complaint in 2024. Mahoney said the department would follow up if new, substantiated information emerged and could seek revocation based on a subsequent investigation.

Committee members asked whether the business name, LLC name and signage differed; staff noted applications are reviewed based on the submitted paperwork and that signage or doing‑business‑as names can be flagged but are not alone dispositive. One committee member said a discrepancy between the LLC name on the application and a different sign on the building had delayed prior reviews in other cases. The city attorney advised that, absent substantiated new evidence, there was insufficient ground to deny the renewal immediately.

After extended discussion, a motion to approve the renewal was moved and seconded; a subsequent voice tally produced a tie—reported in the record as 2 to 2—resulting in no committee recommendation advancing. Police said they would check CrimeStoppers/anonymous tips and pursue any substantiated lead; the city attorney confirmed the department could return with evidence supporting revocation if warranted.

The committee record notes: if the council or staff receives new substantiated information between now and the council meeting, council can pull the renewal off the consent list for more review. The police indicated they would follow up with CrimeStoppers to determine whether an anonymous tip corresponded to a filed complaint that had not been included in the officer’s May 8 review.

Committee members approved recommendations to forward two limited premise/temporary expansions to council: a limited expansion for a downtown licensee (listed in the packet as “**** and Bull” for an outdoor/back parking lot fence event on Aug. 16, 2025) and a tented outdoor extension for Rosetta Pizza at 746 Huron Road for extra standing room on June 28. Both items were approved by voice vote and will be recommended to the June 10 council meeting.

The committee also processed a series of routine renewals for massage establishments (several addresses including 111 High Street Riverside Massage Therapy; 321 South Forest; 810 South Maple; 1566 West Mason Swedish Massage; and others listed in the packet). Police and the city attorney reported no objections for many renewals; motions to approve were carried by voice vote for the items where no objections were recorded.

Staff told the committee there will be a list of nonrenewals sent directly to the Common Council on June 10. Staff reminded members that nonrenewals do not go through committee and that sending the nonrenewal list to council authorizes staff to mail notice to licensees, which starts the appeal period and any subsequent quasi‑judicial hearings. Police and staff summarized a recent enforcement report: between May 8 and May 29 there was one liquor violation and one citation tied to large disturbances at downtown venues; officers completed property referrals in those incidents.

The committee approved the licensing packet motions by voice vote where staff recommended approval and directed staff to forward the list of nonrenewals to council for notice as required by the updated Chapter 4 process.

The decision matters because it changes how the city performs plan reviews for commercial building, plumbing, HVAC and fire systems: adding plumbing plan review to the city’s ePlan contract will allow the city to retain revenue and speed project review, and state delegation of variance review would shorten current state review delays for complex projects.

David (D.A.) Maddox, president and owner of ePlan Exam, told the committee the company has been working with the city since March of the prior year and that the contract has produced faster turnarounds and efficiencies. City staff reported that plumbing plan review performed through the contractor produced about $20,000 in gross revenue last year; staff said in‑house capacity to perform that work is limited after a plumbing/HVAC inspector left, and outsourcing keeps review times short and field inspectors available for enforcement and inspections.

City staff and Maddox explained that delegated variance authority from the State of Wisconsin would allow the city to review and approve variances locally for commercial building, HVAC and fire code matters, with the state reviewing the city’s work rather than performing the full variance review. Staff said the state has signaled willingness to delegate these reviews pending the city’s ordinance updates and satisfactory contract and quality‑control arrangements.

Committee members asked about quality control, liability and the process for addressing any plan‑review errors. Maddox and staff said ePlan uses internal QA/QC and that the company had raised its insurance limits for the city engagement; staff emphasized the city retains inspection authority in the field and would correct or reject field issues arising after plan approval. The contract amendment, staff said, includes a mechanism for a 5% revenue return to the city from plan‑review fees handled by the vendor.

The committee voted to approve the contract amendments and the related ordinance language that will enable the city to require plan review regardless of size for certain commercial projects. Staff characterized the policy as proactive: “rather catch stuff on the front end than let something get three quarters of the way built,” one staff member said.

The updates approved at committee will be forwarded to the Common Council for final action; staff said the state has indicated readiness to delegate variance reviews once the ordinance and contract are in place.

","The committee approved amendments to the city’s professional services agreement with ePlan Exam to add plumbing plan review and pursue delegated variance authority from the State of Wisconsin, plus associated municipal ordinance changes to allow expanded plan review for commercial building permits.","actionData","errors"]
