Oneida County planning panel approves three Conditional Use Permits for bar, construction business and manufactured-home dealership

The Oneida County Planning & Development Committee unanimously approved three Conditional Use Permits on July 8, allowing a bar with outdoor seating, a construction company with outdoor storage, and a manufactured/modular home dealership to move forward under specific conditions.

Committee Chair Scott Holewinski opened the meeting and turned to Planning and Zoning staff for presentations. Karl Jennrich, Oneida County Planning & Zoning Director, and Land Use Specialist Scott Ridderbusch summarized the first application: Chris and Bobbi Jones sought permission to operate a bar service within an existing structure at 5030 Willow Road in the Town of Lynne, with outdoor seating and activities. Staff recommended eight conditions including that the use not change from the application, substantial commencement within three years, Oneida County Health Department approval, compliance with Oneida County sign (Chapter 9.78) and off-street parking rules (Chapter 9.77), screened dumpster(s), downcast exterior lighting, and an outdoor-music curfew of 10:00 p.m. The committee read correspondence from the Town of Lynne into the record and heard a public comment from Brian Hahn. Committee member Billy Fried moved to keep six days of operation and hours from 10:00 a.m. to allowable tavern service hours under §125.32, Wisconsin Statutes; Dan Hess seconded. The motion and a subsequent motion to approve the CUP with the eight staff conditions passed with all members present voting aye.

The committee then considered a Conditional Use Permit for Dilley Builders LLC, represented by applicant David Dilley, to construct two buildings with an outdoor storage area and operate a construction company in the Town of Woodruff. Staff (Jennrich and Carla Blankenship) presented ten conditions: obtain all applicable town/county/state permits and state-approved plans; if a floor drain exists, demonstrate a “clean shop” to WDNR or install a nondomestic holding tank; WDNR stormwater and erosion permits for disturbance over one acre; compliance with sign, parking and lighting standards; screened dumpsters; hours limited to six days per week and 10–12 hours per day; and a requirement to notify the department if outdoor storage expands beyond the designated area. David Dilley spoke during the public portion. Billy Fried moved to approve the CUP with the ten staff conditions; Bob Almekinder seconded. The motion carried unanimously.

Finally, staff presented a Conditional Use Permit for Nathan Waterhouse and Jacob Schultz to operate a manufactured and modular home dealership on parcels CA‑141 and CA‑142 in the Town of Cassian. Staff recommended ten conditions, including recording a certified survey map combining the two parcels prior to zoning permits, obtaining required town/county/state permits and any necessary WDNR stormwater/wetland approvals, adherence to sign and parking rules, screened dumpsters, downcast exterior lighting, set hours (Monday–Friday 9 a.m.–5 p.m., Saturday 9 a.m.–3 p.m.), and limits on outdoor displays. No public comments were offered on this item. Billy Fried moved to approve the CUP with the ten conditions; Dan Hess seconded and the motion passed unanimously.

All three CUP approvals were recorded as unanimous votes by the five committee members present. The committee’s approvals are conditioned on the applicants meeting the listed requirements; staff will monitor compliance and issue permits consistent with Oneida County zoning and state requirements.

The committee adjourned at 3:37 p.m. after taking additional routine actions (described in a separate meeting summary).
