Board grants conditional‑use permit for home‑based metalworks — allows 24/7 operation with limits
Summary
The Oconto County Board of Adjustment granted a conditional use permit to Dana Kurchina‑Tilling to operate a metalworks/art business from an accessory garage in the Town of Riverview, subject to four conditions including a 24/7 hours allowance, no outside storage, not open to the public, and one non‑resident employee.
The Oconto County Board of Adjustment voted March 25 to grant Dana Kurchina‑Tilling a conditional use permit to operate a home‑based metalworks and art business from an accessory garage in Section 26, Town of Riverview.
Kurchina‑Tilling described the use to the board: "The garage is used for metal works and artwork. Scrap metal is used to create art and sell online or at shows, not on the property." Staff confirmed required notices and provided a staff report. The board’s written decision (CU‑20260001) lists four conditions: (1) Hours of operation: 24 hours, seven days a week; (2) No outside storage; (3) Not open to the public; and (4) Only one non‑resident employee allowed. The motion to grant the permit was made by Dave Christianson and seconded by Dave Behrend; the roll call vote was Behrend, Christianson, Heise, Meier and Sleeter — all voting aye.
Notably, Kurchina‑Tilling told the board her proposed hours would be Monday–Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.; the board’s decision instead records a permit condition allowing 24‑hour, seven‑day operation. The board’s written notice of decision records the findings under Section 14.3100 of the Oconto County Zoning Ordinance and summarizes appeal and revocation rights.
