Board approves commercial restroom upgrades and service connections at 109 State Hwy 35; tiny house use denied
Summary
The board approved a land-use permit for interior restroom repairs at 109 State Highway 35 and authorized water and sewer to Lots 2 and 3 for commercial use only, explicitly declining to allow a tiny house or residential use adjacent to the wastewater treatment plant.
Applicant Krissy Custer joined the meeting by phone to request land-use approvals for 109 State Highway 35, describing interior repairs (finishing an existing half bath in Suite B and a full bath in the lower level) and plans to sublet commercial suites. The board approved the permit for repairs and agreed that water and sewer connections to Lots 2 and 3 may be installed for future commercial use only.
Public-works representative Leitzinger raised concerns about potential contamination if an automotive business were to discharge chemicals into drains near the wastewater treatment plant; the board said that such contamination risks would need to be mitigated by any future tenant. Village President Robert McLimans strongly objected to placing a tiny house on Lot 3, citing proximity to the wastewater plant and county commercial zoning; board members unanimously agreed they would not approve residential use next to the plant.
Leitzinger clarified that a licensed plumber must perform the on-site installation and the village will bill Custer for the work. The motion to grant water and sewer to a curb stop for parcels 2 and 3 was approved with the explicit condition that the connections are for commercial uses only.
Ending: Land-use permit and commercial service connections were approved; residential use (tiny house) on Lot 3 was explicitly refused by the board.
