The Common Council Meeting for the City of Greenfield, held on September 16, 2025, addressed several key agenda items, including the approval of special use permits and site reviews for local businesses.

The meeting commenced with a motion to approve an ordinance amending the resolution for a special use and site review. Alderperson Bailey made the motion, which was seconded by Alderperson Kastner. The council discussed the challenges of having residential areas adjacent to business properties, emphasizing the need for coexistence and collaboration to address potential issues. The motion passed with a majority vote, despite one dissenting opinion.

Following this, the council held a public hearing regarding a special use permit for Total Wireless, proposed to be located at 6225 South 27th Street. The business, operated by Mohammed Umu Garabi under Quality Communications LLC, will occupy an 800 square foot space with proposed operating hours from 9 AM to 7 PM on weekdays and 10 AM to 6 PM on weekends. The Planning Commission had recommended approval, noting that the site had recently undergone improvements, including resurfacing the parking lot. The council received no letters of support or objection from the public. After closing the public hearing, the council unanimously approved the special use permit and site review.

The meeting continued with another public hearing for a special use permit for Ridge Community Church Counseling, a proposed mental health counseling service at 4500 South 108th Street, submitted by Jody Tonarelli. This service is also categorized as a special use within the planned unit development (PUD). The council is expected to review this proposal in the upcoming sessions.

Overall, the meeting highlighted the council's commitment to supporting local businesses while addressing community concerns regarding zoning and land use. Further discussions and decisions on the Ridge Community Church Counseling proposal are anticipated in future meetings.
