Village approves conditional-use permit for home-based lawn-art sales at 134 Rio Street
Summary
The Rio Village Board unanimously approved a conditional use permit allowing Laurie Benzine to sell lawn art from her residence, with the permit to be reviewed annually. Clerk Amy Stone said no complaints had been received.
The Rio Village Board on Sept. 8 unanimously approved a conditional use permit allowing resident Laurie Benzine to sell lawn art from her home at 134 Rio Street. Clerk Amy Stone told trustees that no complaints about the proposed home-based business had been received.
The permit, which the board approved on a Kilen/Husom motion, will be subject to annual review. During discussion trustees focused on whether neighborhood concerns had been lodged; Amy Stone reported none.
The application description in the meeting record states the sale of “lawn art” from the residence. The transcript alternately lists the address as “134 W Rio Street” and “134 E Rio Street”; the record cited here uses the neutral form “134 Rio Street” because the transcript conflicted on the directional prefix. The board’s approval does not specify further operational conditions beyond the annual review.
The action clears the way for the owner to operate the yard-art sales in the village, with trustees reserving the right to revisit the permit at future annual reviews. The board also approved its agenda and prior minutes at the start of the meeting and adjourned at 6:15 p.m.
