Consider and Take Action re: Request by J. Steele to operator a Motor Vehicle Recycler Business Type 4 at 2421 State Hwy 19. This is the third appearance for Mr. Steele to address zoning, DNR and DOT compliance in order to operate his business. The chair explained that current zoning would allow Mr. John Steele to operate a motor vehicle recycling business as long as everything is done inside a building. County Zoning Ordinance C-2 10.14(1)(r) allows storage or processing of scrap or waste materials, conducted entirely within a building. Additionally 10.14(1)(b) allows major repairs to motor vehicles. The zoning ordinance also allows parking or storing of motor vehicles outside, these vehicles must be operable and licensed. If they are not they fall under the chapter 10 definition of junk and cannot be stored outside in a C-2 district. Mr. Steele indicated that he will make application to the DOT for a Type 2 motor vehicle dealer or recycler 2 year license. He will also work with the DNR, as they need to address his storm water permit and his registration with a refrigerant recovery program. He will need to return to the Town Board for their review and signature. No action was taken.
