Oneida County approves hotel and employee housing CUP in Woodruff with added berm/fence condition
Summary
The Planning and Development Committee approved a conditional use permit for a hotel and employee housing building proposed by Jayjeet Govardhan and Laxmi Holdings LLC in the Town of Woodruff, adding a condition requiring a berm with vegetation or a fence along the west boundary and several environmental and permitting conditions.
The Oneida County Planning and Development Committee unanimously approved May 27 a conditional use permit for a hotel and an employee housing building proposed by Jayjeet Govardhan and owned by Laxmi Holdings LLC on Lot 2, CSM 5689 (PIN WR-25-7) in the Town of Woodruff.
Planning staff presented the application, noted publication of public notice and town correspondence, and read the Town of Woodruff’s letter into the record. Staff recommended numerous conditions, including required town/county/state permits with state-approved plans as required; recorded easements for parking, stormwater retention ponds, private road and utilities if the parcel is subdivided; a stormwater easement agreement with the Town of Woodruff; a maximum allowed mean building height of 44 feet 6 3/4 inches; compliance with Oneida County sign and parking regulations; WDNR stormwater/erosion and waterway permits and copies of those issued permits to be delivered to the department; Oneida County Health Department approvals; screened dumpsters and recycling; and downcast shielded exterior lighting.
During public comment Richard Smith raised concerns about fencing, berms, soil and landscaping along the west boundary. The committee and staff discussed measures to address those concerns and agreed to add Condition #12 specifying: "Berm with topsoil and landscaping vegetation as best as possible or placement of fence along the west boundary line beginning at the south end of the retention pond to the end of the southerly parking area." The committee approved the CUP with staff’s eleven recommended conditions plus the added Condition #12. The motion was made by Billy Fried and seconded by Bob Almekinder; all members present voted Aye.
The permit approval is conditional: construction and occupancy remain subject to the listed conditions, required permits and agency approvals.
