Wyoming council approves interim gunsmithing permit for Greenway Lane property and selects dog‑park name
Summary
The Wyoming City Council approved Resolution 24‑10‑100 granting an interim conditional‑use permit for a gunsmith business at 6880 Greenway Lane with conditions including hazardous‑waste licensing if thresholds are exceeded, and the council selected a name for the new dog park after a community poll and Park Advisory Commission recommendation.
At its Oct. 15 meeting the City Council approved Resolution 24‑10‑100, granting an interim conditional‑use permit that would allow a gunsmithing business to operate in a detached accessory building at 6880 Greenway Lane. The council heard staff and planning commission recommendations for approval with three conditions, including compliance with ‘‘bilateral home‑occupation’’ performance standards and a requirement that the applicant obtain an MPCA hazardous‑waste generator license if hazardous materials creation meets regulatory thresholds.
Staff said the applicant (identified in the packet as Aaron Schill) intends to restore antique firearms and customize shotguns, rifles and handguns; staff said the business would operate primarily from the accessory building, with storage inside the existing structure and no proposed signage. Council members asked procedural questions about when the permit is required and whether work inside a primary residence would be treated differently; staff said indoor work in the house would be a permitted use and would not require the accessory‑building permit.
A motion to approve the resolution was made by Member Anstead and seconded by Member Schilling; members voted 'Aye' and the motion passed. The resolution record notes the property ID as 21.110690.07 and indicates the interim use permit will expire on vacancy or sale of the premises.
On a separate agenda item the council considered names for the new dog park that opened in May 2024. Staff outlined a community naming contest and poll held in September that produced the options presented to the Park Advisory Commission. Staff reported mixed counts in the record (staff referenced both about 230 total votes and later said 61 votes were considered by the advisory commission). Council discussed branding and then moved to select a single name for signage and web use. A motion to adopt "Wyoming Barks and Rec" was made and seconded; members voted 'Aye.' The presiding member then stated on the record, "It will be Wyoming Parks and Rec." The council did not record a roll‑call tally for either action; both motions passed by voice vote.
