Board approves ordinance to allow transfer of conditional use permit for Sherwood Road auto-sales property
Summary
Trustees voted to amend prior ordinances so the tenant may acquire the property at a Sherwood Road auto-sales site and to remove previously imposed construction-timeline conditions after health-department-approved septic and bathroom work was completed.
The Village Board voted to approve an ordinance amending prior ordinances so a conditional use permit (CUP) for an auto sales operation on Sherwood Road can be transferred to a new owner and so that previously required timeline conditions tied to building improvements are removed.
Why it matters: the change lets the current tenant pursue purchase of the property and relieves the CUP of timeline requirements set when the business first received the permit.
Staff member Stephanie told the board that the business at 37889 North Sherwood Road had operated as an auto sales facility and had been required, under the original CUP, to complete specified improvements, especially bathroom facilities. "They ran into a snag and actually had to change the way that they were gonna install the bathroom. That eventually did get approved by the health department with a tank for septic to be stored on on-site. The improvements have now been completed," Stephanie said. She said the ordinance before the board would amend previous ordinances to allow the transfer of the CUP in name and ownership and to remove the timeline conditions now that the improvements are complete.
Trustee Mullins moved the ordinance; Trustee Gust seconded. The board approved the motion by roll call (Vote recorded in meeting minutes). Roll-call statements in the meeting transcript showed Trustees Johnson, Miller, Sillow (as recorded), Williams and Gus voting "Aye." The motion carried.
Details from the file: the original CUP had included an initial one-year compliance timeline and later a three-year extension; with the completed improvements the board removed the timeline conditions and retained the CUP under standard conditions of the ordinance.
What the board did not do: the meeting record shows no additional changes to operating conditions beyond removing the timeline requirement; the board did not attach any new conditions in the recorded motion.
Next steps: the ordinance takes effect per the village's normal publication and effective-date procedures (not specified in the meeting transcript).
