Oneida County committee approves conditional use permit for boat storage in Minocqua

The Oneida County Planning and Development Committee approved a Conditional Use Permit on June 24 allowing construction of a second boat storage building and outdoor boat storage at 9829 Rylee Lane in the Town of Minocqua.

Todd Troskey, Assistant Director for the Planning and Development Department, presented the application submitted by applicants Mike Kilinski and Brad Krisch and by owner KCP Northwoods RE Holdings LLC and reviewed staff recommendations. Carla Blankenship, Land Use Specialist, read the department report into the record and outlined nine conditions staff recommended for permit issuance, including required town/county/state permits, WDNR stormwater/erosion compliance where applicable, signage and off‑street parking to conform with Oneida County zoning rules, and controls on exterior lighting and dumpsters.

Staff recommended that any floor drains be handled so as not to discharge oils or greases to POWTS or be addressed by a nondomestic holding tank; subject the project to WDNR stormwater/erosion permitting for disturbance over one acre; and require hours of operation be limited to 8 a.m.–6 p.m. May through October and 10 a.m.–4 p.m. November through April. The record included a letter from the Town of Minocqua and proof of public notice; no members of the public spoke during the hearing.

On a motion by Billy Fried, seconded by Michael Tautges, the committee approved the CUP with the nine conditions as presented. With all members present voting “Aye,” the motion carried.

The committee did not receive public comment on the request. Next procedural steps identified by staff included obtaining and submitting required building and state‑approved plans and any DNR permits before construction begins.
