Ashwaubenon Plan Commission approves conditional use permit for vehicle sales at 3121 Holmgren Way
Summary
The Village of Ashwaubenon Plan Commission voted to approve a conditional use permit allowing automobile sales at 3121 Holmgren Way in an I-2 (heavy industrial) zone; the applicant will next seek Village Board approval following a public hearing.
The Village of Ashwaubenon Plan Commission on Aug. 6, 2025 approved a conditional use permit allowing automobile sales at 3121 Holmgren Way, a property zoned I-2 (heavy industrial).
Planning staff member Will said the property "is just located just south of the intersection of Holmgren Way and Parkview" and noted that automobile sales in the I-2 district are allowed only with a conditional use permit. Will read the village standards for automobile sales into the record, including limitations on vehicle display pads ("not have more than 1 vehicle display pad for every 100 feet of street frontage"), a prohibition on displays on top of buildings, a ban on outdoor speakers audible off-site, and restrictions on tilted display racks and salvage or body-work displays.
Will said the applicant is L and L Carley Properties LLC, and that the business operating at the site, Luke's Scratch, performs primarily mechanical repairs and will not conduct body or salvage work as part of the proposed sales operation. Will also said the applicant intends to use seven parking spaces near the front of the lot for the display of vehicles.
A commissioner asked for confirmation that "there will be no vehicle repairs, salvage or body" work connected to the sales; another commissioner responded, "That's permissible under his application," clarifying that the prohibition referenced salvage and bodywork rather than routine mechanical work.
A commissioner moved to approve the conditional use permit application for vehicle sales at 3121 Holmgren Way; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote with the chair calling for ayes and stating "Motion carried." The commission did not record a roll-call tally in the transcript.
The conditional use permit approval by the Plan Commission allows the applicant to proceed to a public hearing before the Village Board, which must consider the Plan Commission's recommendation and may adopt an ordinance to formalize the comprehensive plan or enact land-use approvals as specified by state statute.
The commission's approval does not change other code requirements for the property; the applicant must continue to meet the listed display and operations standards and any conditions the Village Board may attach at the public hearing.
