The Village Board on July 22 approved a conditional use permit allowing automobile sales at 1105 Ashwaubenon Street, parcel VA‑2043. The permit will allow the business owner to display vehicles in five parking spaces on the property, with staff noting additional on‑site parking for customers and employees.

Will (staff) read the conditional‑use standards that apply to automobile sales in the I‑2 heavy industrial zoning district and explained the applicant will not use vehicle display pads, and will not perform vehicle repairs or body work at the site. He told the board the applicant planned to sell vehicles from the parking lot using five spaces.

During the public hearing, Sean Glanner, owner of Quality Sandblasting across the street, said he is “concerned with it being an industrial park” and worried that additional outside vehicles on display could prompt complaints about dust and pointing of fingers at his sandblasting operation. He told the board he and his family have been in the industrial park for years and that semi traffic and gravel lots are part of existing operations there.

Board members asked staff whether the proposed plan provided enough customer parking; staff said rear parking was planned for employees and customers were expected to park in front. No other businesses reported objections, staff said.

A trustee moved to approve the conditional‑use permit; the motion was seconded and carried by voice vote.

Outcome: the permit was approved and the business may proceed to use five parking spaces for vehicle display under the conditions described by staff. The village will monitor compliance with code standards—no vehicle repair or body work will be allowed on site, per staff statements.

Matters to watch: nearby business concerns about dust and outdoor display were recorded during the public hearing; staff noted location and existing industrial activity and said there was additional parking on site for customers and employees.
