Oneida County panel approves two conditional use permits with restrictions
Summary
The Oneida County Planning & Development Committee on June 10 approved Conditional Use Permits for horticulture retail on a Crescent parcel and auto sales at a Minocqua multi-tenant site, attaching parking, health, POWTS and other conditions and approving minor amendments to staff recommendations.
The Oneida County Planning & Development Committee approved two conditional use permits during its June 10 meeting, imposing standard zoning and health conditions and a small set of committee amendments.
Karl Jennrich, Oneida County Planning & Zoning director, outlined staff recommendations for the first application from Aaron Panke to operate retail sales of horticulture and agricultural items and other outdoor activities on a vacant parcel in the Town of Crescent. Staff recommended conditions including compliance with the Oneida County Zoning and Shoreland Protection Ordinance (sign and parking regulations), Oneida County Health Department approvals for any food or beverage service, a private onsite wastewater treatment system (POWTS) permit and installation prior to opening, downcast lighting, screened dumpsters, permits for greenhouses and structures, and maintaining outdoor sales/display areas per the site plan. The committee amended staff’s draft to allow a portable toilet for the first season and to give the applicant one year to obtain the required POWTS permit; the panel then approved the CUP on a motion by Billy Fried, seconded by Bob Almekinder. With all members present voting Aye, the motion carried.
The committee then considered a Conditional Use Permit application from Nick Trapp, owner of NBT Properties LLC, to display and sell vehicles at an existing developed commercial multi-tenant property on Highway 47 in the Town of Minocqua. Jennrich said staff recommended similar site controls: compliance with sign and off-street parking rules (and no parking in the Highway 47 right-of-way unless DOT approvals are obtained), locating vehicle displays within the designated area, Wisconsin DMV approval submitted to the department, POWTS permitting before pet grooming operations, screened dumpsters, limits on future changes, and an express prohibition on flea markets. The committee added a condition making the approval subject to existing Conditional Use Permit #0501577 and explicitly prohibiting flea-market activity. The amended permit was approved on a motion by Billy Fried, seconded by Bob Almekinder; all present voted Aye.
The permits carry administrative conditions commonly used to limit off-site impacts and to ensure required health and wastewater approvals are in place before certain operations begin. Committee members and staff indicated that future phases or expansions could require additional administrative or conditional-use review.
Next steps: both CUP approvals were recorded in the meeting minutes and will be implemented under the stated conditions; applicants must secure any required permits (sign, structure, POWTS, Health Department, DMV where applicable) before commencing the associated operations.
