Plan Commission tables conditional use permit for 107 E Green Bay Street over missing plans and utility questions
Summary
The Village of Bonduel Plan Commission on Oct. 6 tabled a conditional use permit request from Little Village Pizza Crust owner Jason Hutter for 107 E Green Bay Street, citing absent building drawings, unclear water/sewer connections and disputed prior agreements; the commission asked staff to obtain state guidance and documentation before reconsideration.
Chairman Russ Gehm presided over discussion on a conditional use permit (CUP) application from Jason Hutter, owner of Little Village Pizza Crust, for a food-processing facility at 107 E Green Bay Street. Jesse Rankin, Director of Municipal Operations, told the commission that "there are no drawings or sketches of the work done on the property to support the conditional use permit application" and that the Plan Commission must use the decision form to determine compliance with the Village’s zoning code.
Commissioners and staff discussed whether state-approved building plans exist; Rankin said he contacted the State Building Inspector and was told the state has no plans on file for the building. Commissioner Andrew Court asked about utilities; Rankin said "there is no water and sewer to this building," while Hutter contended the house shares connections with the adjacent 109 E Green Bay Street and noted the buildings have been connected for roughly 109 years.
The commission reviewed land-use compatibility and public-benefit questions. Rankin and members observed that if approved the proposed operation would be classified as industrial rather than commercial and that the applicant represented "there wouldn't be any employees. No foot traffic would be permitted in the building," a point commissioners said raised concerns about appropriateness in the C-1 Commercial District.
A dispute over prior agreements and whether Hutter had signed documents about razing the building and connecting to utilities produced a heated exchange between the applicant and staff. Attorney Charles Adams advised the commission that Village ordinance requires the building to be connected to village water. After deliberation, Commissioner Robbie Woldt moved, and Mark Welch seconded, to table the CUP until the Plan Commission receives additional documentation and guidance from the State Building Inspector; the motion passed unanimously.
The commission asked staff to request written guidance or confirmation from the State Building Inspector about plan requirements, to list outstanding compliance items in bullet form, and to send the conditional use decision form to Hutter so he can respond at the next meeting. The item will return to the Plan Commission once the requested documentation and responses are provided.
