Council reverses permit after code review, refunds Z & Z Storage $50

Wakefield City Council · May 13, 2026

Summary

After reviewing zoning code, the council found shipping containers at Z & Z Storage were not permissible for rental use; the city administrator apologized for the permit error and the council approved a refund of the $50 permit fee to Rod Zvacek.

Rod Zvacek of Z & Z Storage asked the council about a building permit he had received for placing shipping containers at his Birch Street storage facility. City staff subsequently concluded the city's code allows shipping containers on commercial property only for the owner's use, not as rental units. City Administrator Mogus apologized to Zvacek for the permit mistake and the council approved refunding the $50 permit fee.

The action resolved the immediate permit fee issue; council did not authorize use of the containers for rental operations and directed staff to follow the city's zoning code in future permit reviews.
