Summary
The Village of New Bremen on Nov. 24 declared an emergency ordinance approving a conditional use at 218 N. Main St. for martial‑arts/self‑defense instruction owned by Todd and Mary Smith; the Planning Commission had approved the use Nov. 4 and the council suspended rules to enact immediate effect.
The Village of New Bremen council on Nov. 24 adopted an emergency ordinance allowing Todd and Mary Smith to operate martial‑arts and self‑defense classes at 218 N. Main St.
The Planning Commission had approved a conditional use for the property at its Nov. 4 meeting. At the Nov. 24 meeting, council moved to suspend the usual rule requiring multiple readings and then declared Ordinance 2025‑11‑20 an emergency measure so the conditional use would take effect immediately. The motion to suspend the rules was moved by Councilman Condon and seconded by Councilman Bertke; the ordinance declaring the emergency was moved by Councilman Burnell and seconded by Councilman Condon. The minutes record six ayes on these actions.
According to the minutes, Mr. Smith said he would like to begin offering classes in December. The ordinance grants the conditional use for instruction at 218 N. Main St. under the conditions approved by the Planning Commission; the minutes do not list additional operational conditions or hours. The council did not record any public objections in the minutes.
The emergency declaration makes the conditional use effective immediately rather than after the normal waiting period for additional readings.
