The Oneida County Planning and Development Committee approved a conditional use permit on April 1 allowing retail sales of watercraft docks and boatlifts with outdoor displays at 6990 Winkler Road in the Town of Three Lakes. Assistant Zoning Director Todd Troskey and Land Use Specialist Scott Ridderbusch presented the application for applicant John Bilogan and noted notice and publication requirements had been satisfied.
Why it matters: The permit authorizes retail activity with outdoor displays near a lakeshore area and imposes site‑specific conditions intended to limit visual and traffic impacts on neighboring properties.
Staff summary and conditions: Troskey said the Notice of Public Hearing was posted at the Oneida County Courthouse on March 12 and published in the Northwoods River News on March 17 and March 24; a proof of publication, an affidavit of mailing and a mailing list were in the file. Ridderbusch read the staff report into the record and recommended five conditions if the permit is issued: that the nature and extent of the use not change from what was approved; signage must comply with Oneida County Zoning and Shoreland Protection Ordinance section 9.78 and any sign permits be obtained; parking must comply with section 9.77 (Off‑Street Parking & Loading Space); outdoor displays be maintained within the designated site plan area; and that the fencing along the south property line remain in place and be kept in fair order to screen the adjacent residence.
Public comment and local input: The record included correspondence from the Town of Three Lakes and one written public comment that was read into the record; the committee opened the public portion of the hearing but no one spoke at the meeting.
Committee action and next steps: Committee member Billy Fried moved to approve the Conditional Use Permit subject to the five conditions recommended by staff; Bob Almekinder seconded the motion. Chair Scott Holewinski noted the motion carried with all members present voting “Aye.” The permit will proceed subject to those conditions and any required permits or approvals noted in the staff report.
The committee took no additional public testimony and moved on to other agenda items.
