The Washington County Planning Commission on Aug. 7 continued a conditional-use permit request from KD Wilde LLC to operate an event venue on property zoned A-1 near Blair. Commissioners voted 5–1 to continue the item to the Oct. 2 Planning Commission meeting so the applicant can supply additional information; one commissioner voted no and one member was absent.

Applicant Tyree Sejkora described the proposed building layout, types of events, liquor licensing and driveway access. Planning commissioners and staff discussed water supply, septic capacity, parking, building placement and financing. Commissioners Lambrecht and Hoegermeyer said they needed specific plans: formal parking drawings, building design and setbacks, confirmed water availability, septic capacity information and firm dirt-moving bids to evaluate runoff impacts.

Multiple nearby residents spoke in opposition during public comment. Speakers listed in the transcript include Jeff Mabry, Rick Schmidt, Jennifer Klindt, James and Jerry Adams, Tim Klindt, Howard Bruger, Andrea Westin, Adam and Summer Muenster, Anita Muller, Gabriel and Kendell Kerlik, Wayland Latham, Tom Neuverth, Gary Wohlman, Carol Mabry and Kristin Hayes. The transcript records neighborhood opposition but does not include direct quotes.

The motion to continue was made by Commissioner Lambrecht and seconded by Commissioner Hoegermeyer; the record shows the continuation was to allow the applicant to return with additional materials addressing parking, building type and placement, setbacks, water supply, septic adequacy, bids for dirt-moving and runoff mitigation. The commission will re-hear the CUP on Oct. 2, 2025.
