Move on to part D of our agendas. We have four public hearings this evening and I will ask the clerk to read out public hearing number one. Conditional use permit for RCCG household of God, a proposed religious institution use at 6228 West Washington Street. Thank you. Turn it over to staff. Mr. Sher.

Thank you, Mayor County Council. My name is Steve Sher, director of city planning and zoning. Uh the first item here is a church. This has been historically a church um formerly um a Christian church in the corner here and then it had uh lapsed in occupancy of over a year. However, there is a new church, the redeemer uh the redeemed Christian church of God uh which is a Bible-based church interested in reoccupying this space and um it's located in an RB residential zoning district which is commonly for residential purposes. However, there is an allowance for um religious institutions, schools, and so on. Uh this will be a religious institution uh with limited hours, church and uh Bible study on Sundays from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. And then um also Bible studies Wednesdays from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. And just some slides of the different pictures from within the building. There is a first and a second floor. Uh within the building, the overall size of the building is about 4,300 square feet. Uh the lot is slightly larger at about 5,100 feet, but there is a um um as most churches have, you know, obviously the worship space, office space, um different rooms for different activities, um a um eaten kitchen area, dining hall, and then um also storage and um just common area space within the building. It's in very good shape as you can see from some of the pictures and then just some of the floor plans showing the the overall altar or stage area. Then the church seating area on the left and then uh behind that you have some larger general purpose rooms and offices. On the second floor upstairs you have a um a kitchenet area and a larger hall of sorts as well as some storage rooms above. No changes are proposed to the site. Um there is obviously some maintenance on

the um on the site that will be attended to by the new the new church members and parishioners. Removal of a dead tree and then locating a refu uh location or bin on the site and screened um as appropriate as re recommended by the planning commission. So um this has been published in the uh official paper. A notice has been sent out to property owners within 200 feet and there have been no objections to date. Plan commission did recommend approval subject to um a landing landscaping plan being submitted as well as uh the refu location and signage and lighting plan if u applicable to their use. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Are there any questions from the common council? Mayor Divine, Alderman Wagel. Um Steve, I have a question about their operation. Uh they didn't have say they were gonna have like Saturday Saturday hours at all like for a wedding or No, this is um it wasn't indicated. Um it they're primarily focused on the the Bible study and the church services. Okay. Um but

but so I know that for like liquor licenses when an application doesn't include a day of the week or a part of the day then we tell them they need to be careful. I mean I mean so they're really going to stick to these hours two days a week. That's what uh yeah, that's what they've advised us in their application. Um certainly I mean if council wants to hold them to those hours I mean or we could reach back out and ask them. Yeah. I just I just don't want it to turn into you know I mean we wouldn't we wouldn't be on them about it anyways if they did weddings there. I don't I don't think but but I think the public has a right to know. Correct. Right. Yeah. I mean we could certainly get that answered for you. I'll try to do so at recess.

Thank you. Sure. Thank you. Any other questions from the council? All right, seeing none. Are there any members of the audience with questions on public hearing number one? All right, we'll close our first public hearing. Thank you. And we will move on to item number two on our agenda this evening. And I will ask a clerk to read out item number two. ordinance to increase lot coverage maximum for residential accessory buildings.

Thank you. Back to you, Mr. Chair. Thanks, Mayor. The current um uh shed allowance, if you want to build a shed in the city of West Dallas on your lot is 150 square feet on a paved surface. And um just based on some of the past year's um board of appeals cases that uh our board of appeals um has has addressed, there have been a number of requests to exceed that limit. And then staff took a little bit deeper deeper dive looking at some of our surrounding communities um specifically Watossa, Oak Creek, Greenfield, and um noticed that uh all of those communities have a little bit higher cap in terms of what you're allowed to build in terms of a residential accessory shed on your property. Um, Oak Creek being one of the higher ones at 400 square f feet, uh, Greenfield at 250, and Watossa has it based upon a percentage of the lot size. Um, typically not more than 12% of the lot size, uh, which can be a little confusing to some some property owners. So, what we've what we've prepared here is a an ordinance to allow a little bit more flexibility, um, preventing preventing an oversized shed to the to the size of the lot. Uh but just sort of more of a form-based, you know, if you have a larger lot, you're allowed, you know, a little bit larger um size of a shed. Again, it would be capped at a maximum of 300 square ft is what's proposed. All the other setback requirements within the zoning ordinance would would remain the same. Um but the number 300, you know, from 150 to 300 would would change. And um this has been published. Plant commission has recommended approval. Uh there have been no objections to date. Thank you.

Thank you. Are there any questions from the common council on item number two? Mayor Divine. Alderman Gisham. Steve. Um this may sound like a silly question, but how many accessory uh dwellings can we have on a property? For example, uh just one. So in terms of like a shed or gazebo or or Because shed or gazebo are probably shed is probably the most common that we see. Good answer. Thank you. Any other questions from the members of the council? Yeah, Mayor Divine. Alderman Hos.

All right. Now, I have a question based on what you just said, Steve. You can have a shed or a gazebo or a shed and a gazebo. Technically, just one per property. All right. Thank you. Any other questions from the members of the common council? All right. Are there any members of the audience with questions or comments on public hearing number two? Okay. We will close our second public hearing and we'll move on to item three and I will ask our clerk to read out public hearing number three.

Ordinance to add recovery residents to as a conditional use in certain zoning districts. Thank you. Turn it back to Steve.

Thank you, mayor. Um, so recovery residences are um not currently covered within our within our zoning ordinance. Our zoning orders is silent on this matter. And um what is a recovery residence? Um it's currently governed by section 46 of the Wisconsin state statutes. and what how they define it within the state statutes is a homelike residential environment that promotes healthy recovery from a substance abuse disorder and supports residents through peer recovery support. Um these are often just can be typical homes uh within a neighborhood. They're not treatment facilities. In other words, they're not they're not licensed either by Department of Health Services. However, they can work in conjunction with outpatient services. They are voluntary in terms of u the residents that that use them. They reside in the homes and conduct their daily lives. Um again just part of a part of a support group um as part of their recovery journey. Um and then often completing inpatient while while in uh after completing impatient treatment. Um registration with the department of health services is is possible but not mandatory in the state of Wisconsin. uh registry uh is required however if if that home is interested in receiving uh state uh referrals from the state or funding potentially federal funding. Um so registry basically means agreeing to standards operating with integrity providing a safe environment and fostering a culture of recovery. So the state statutes, you know, if you want to register a recovery residence, um have some basic some basic rules which, you know, don't necessarily have a lot of teeth in them. They're sort of feel-good um you know, clauses. So it's currently there's very few in

the city of West Dallas. In fact, um, prior to this meeting, just taking a look at the Department of Health Services registry, there's, um, there aren't any registered within the within the city of West Dallas currently. If you do a recovery residents near me search, um, within, you know, Google, for instance, uh, there's a number that show up, but not necessarily in West Dallas within the Milwaukee County region. Um, but not I think there was one sort of centrally located off of 85th Street uh off of Lincoln Avenue. Whether or not that's truly a recovery residence or some other group home, it's unknown. So, the justification for this ordinance amendment um it was um it was brought before the um uh economic development committee uh back in August. We went over sort of the the summary of this with them and they directed us to prepare an ordinance amendment uh with the city attorney's help and um the justification again is that you know the zoning code is currently silent on this topic and just given the uh the state law as being sort of you know broad and you know not not having very much teeth in this case uh we think that defining you know what these uses are and uh some basic level of structure governance within the local ordinance uh does make sense for some general guidance purposes. So um the um just a little bit more on the statutes uh they do limit the city's ability uh to regulate these types of uses. Um we cannot locally license this type of activity. So in other words, you know, just some formal uh license process is not uh not legal according to state statutes. Um however, we can operate as and we do um a property uh registration program which is available

to the city to to utilize. Um and then um uh not necessarily proactively but reactively um you know if there is a call for you know uh police services the nuisance law could potentially be um of service. Um but those those calls for service have to be qualifying calls for service that impact the the neighborhood area, not just for someone inquiring, you know, why are there squads um out in front of my house? And then uh due to state law, the city's proactive measures are are limited. So zoning aside, you know, we only have the option to be reactive to the behavior at the property and um you know, contact your legislators legislators about perhaps even taking a closer look at uh section 46 of the statutes to make more robust uh changes to the to the state statutes. So, in terms of how um the city uh could uh consider regulating these, what the planning commission had advised um and what we've put before the council this evening is basically to require a conditional use, not in all zoning districts, but in specific ones uh the RC and then uh specific commercial districts. The RC is a multif family zoning district and then C2, C3 and C4 are three of um the four commercial zoning districts. And then in terms of calls for service, there's been a total of seven calls over the past year and a half. Um only one of those calls has resulted in a um in an arrest. The rest were um more minor minor infractions, not resulting in a citation or an arrest. And with that, um, I'll just end saying that this has been published. Um, and, um, you know, plan commission has recommended approval. Planning commission, um, wanted us to, um, you know, make sure we can exercise the

property in a registration or it's applicable. Um, and there have been no obje objections to date. And, um, if there's any questions, I'm happy to entertain those now. Thanks. Thank you very much. Are there any questions from the members of the council on public hearing number three? Mayor Divine, otherwoman Gisham. Steve, so if I get this uh right, how does this differ from like group homes? Um, right now we can have up to eight residences and one property, correct? There's no oversight really from the state. Anything else? Is this purpose just for

these are to know? Yeah, these are specifically um called out in the statute and they're different from the the legal uh citations of of what governing group homes or community living arrangements. So many of those cases with community living arrangements, there's typically a certain level of nursing care staffing that goes along with that. Similar, but a definitely a different set of rules um that classifies them as community living arrangements. In this case, uh, recovery residence is called out separately and is, um, allowed, you know, uh, differently from from like, you know, the group home or community living arrangement.

Okay. Um, thank you. And beyond that, like I'm trying to get us that it's just the matter to register them so that if there is a problem or otherwise, we can classify it as a nuisance if it met that criteria. Right. So our in in terms of the property owner registration um for um typically multif family or or units that um aren't owner occupied um the city can impose u property owners own owner registration. So we at least have a a contact person. Um they they don't reside on that site but we do have a contact for that for that property that u if if need be you know uh the city can get a hold of.

Okay. And final question, say there's multiple recovery houses already set up in West Dallas. We find out that there is one that's not registered. What's our recourse? What what do we do um in that case where they're simply legal non-conforming? They're considered, you know, not and they would, you know, the city could not, you know, retroactively go back and say, "Sorry, you have to close your doors." So, they would be, you know, a legacy type of use, u legal non-conforming. And um any new um operations would need to comply with the the zoning standard if if approved this evening. Okay. Thank you. Sure. Divine. Alderman house.

Steve, can you go back one slide, please? Sure. All right. So, um, it's a conditional use in and I'm focusing on the the residential districts, the RC districts. So, other residential districts, this would recovery residencies would be a permitted use then? No. Um, so we're just treating recovery residents in general as a conditional use and only in the RC, the C2, C3, and C4. So other districts like RA, you know, RB not they would not be allowed. Would not be allowed. Correct. Yeah. Got it. Y Thank you, Mayor D.

Thank you, Alderman House, Alderman Wel. Um, Steve, back to the existing non-conforming legacy uses, but if we don't know where any are now, and we find one, say, in 60 days or whatever, when this goes into effect, and they say, "Oh, but we've been here for a year already." I mean, because we don't really know what we how many are out there right now. I mean, how would that be treated? I mean, I guess if they could prove to us that they were Yeah. I mean that's that that would be the the case. It'd be very hard. We'd have to they'd have to prove themselves and we'd try to investigate that. Um it's it's difficult again given the state statutes. are trying to do something,

right? Something is, you know, it may not be perfect, but Yeah. And then the other question is the registration comes from the fact that these are not owner occupied, but what if the owner of the of the of the home was still living there and just had a bunch of house guests? I don't know. Essentially be operating a business in his home. of running uh recovery residents possibly. I think the the ones that I've seen in terms of um you know that that market themselves as sober homes or recovery residences

seem to have anywhere from you know small a small group of you know six to maybe max usually 14 people and um typically not owner occupied just really again just sort of focusing on that peer support but I mean to say that could an owner live in these I right an owner could be could be his gig could be his his side gig Um, and do we put a cap on here? You said 14. Um, there is there is no cap um on this. That's probably the state telling us there's no cap. Okay. Thank you. Thank you. Any other questions from the council? Mayor, go ahead.

All the Roman Grove. Uh, Steve, just I mean this is kind of a follow-up to what Marty was saying, I think, but um would there be any preset limit on occupancy or is that up to the size of the building and residents and things like that on a case- by case basis?

Yeah. I mean, as far as like code enforcement and and so on, I mean, I think the home would obviously have to be set up for however many people. um you know if they're going to be um it like anything I mean if it's if it's uh the number of people is going to dictate what types of improvements likely will have to be made to that property and um even if I guess we don't if if changes are made without the city knowing of it um in advance as neighbors complain I guess we sort of learn more about things and um you know are faced with, you know, looking into that and um then finding out how many who owns it, how is it being run, are they are they a recovery residence or something else and uh just sort of investigating that and then you know applying code as necessary at that point as in a reactive measure unfortunately.

Okay. Thank you. Thank you. Any other questions from the council on our third public hearing? Mr. Chair, attorney Decker. Just to fill in more of what Steve was saying because if the council would adopt this as a conditional use, um the advantage to that is in the council can impose conditions upon the approval of that use. One of those certainly would have to be occupancy numbers. It's already a factor for CBRFs. It's regulated by the state in other ways. I wouldn't see why council couldn't do that as a condition to one of these permits.

Thank you. If there's nothing else from the council, then I will ask if there's anybody in the audience that has comments or questions on public hearing number three. All right, seeing none, we will close our third public hearing and I will ask our clerk to read public hearing number four. Resolution to approve the year 2026 operating plan for the downtown West Dallas business improvement district and to adopt the special assessment method as stated therein. Thank you. Turn it over to Mr. Cfield.

Good evening everyone. I'm Carson Coughfield in economic development and I am here to uh highlight the upcoming operating plan and subsequent budget for the West Dallas downtown business Improvement District. Um, so just a quick refresher, the uh downtown is located from 76th in Greenfield all the way to uh 70th in Greenfield going east west and then it also goes uh north and south um about a half a block um both ways. There are uh approximately 90 businesses that are uh in the in the bid and all property owners were um notified of this public hearing. So, first I just wanted to lay out some of the uh many accomplishments that the bid had this past year. Uh there were multiple new businesses uh that opened in the downtown. Uh we also worked in partnership with the bid to um receive a Robert Wood Foundation grant uh which is in partnership with the u main streets organization. West Dallas is one of three cities in the state of Wisconsin and I believe Wisconsin is one of two states in the entire country to uh receive this award. So, we're looking to uh implement some of these funds into the downtown in the coming months. Uh the bid hosted uh 70 or seven community events. Uh a couple uh weeks back, I I used our Placer AI tracking tool to just get an idea of how many visitors some of these events brought to our downtown. And the latest car show brought approximately 4,500 visitors to West Dallas. and Alakart brought just under 13,000 to our downtown. So, uh great events that we have down here. Um the bido uh supported many various art initiatives including the uh community art mural that is now on uh Cooks Building uh facing Greenfield Avenue. And if you haven't taken this uh south alley, there are two new murals uh one

on supus 2 and the other one on Talia's event venue. um might be completed or is still um getting finished up. So, a lot of great uh success in our downtown this past year. Um we've also had many uh ribbon cutings in the downtown and I just wanted to uh put up a few of the latest ones for you to see, which is awesome. And uh I believe we're at 2% vacancy in the downtown. So, good problem to have. as required in the operating uh budget and operating plan. The bid has to uh list out some of their uh priorities and goals for 2026. So, I just wanted to put a few of the uh main ones up there, growing the economic mix and vitality of the downtown. um continue uh continuing to improve the uh downtown west Dallas image continue to expand outreach to resident schools and community partners for sponsorships, volunteers, and increase their number of uh friends of uh businesses. Um, so, uh, those are, uh, three of the main ones. And then continuing to support walkability, bikeability, and, uh, making downtown, you know, a safe place to, uh, shop and own a business. So, just a quick, uh, walkthrough of the bid budget process. The, uh, bid subcommittees have uh, goal setting sessions for what their main priorities and initiatives are for the upcoming year. Once they have their goals laid out, they uh present those to uh Emily, the bid executive director, who then presents it to the bid board. And then once it's approved by the bid, it's brought uh to common council for final approval. So their proposed budget for 2026 is nearly identical to 2025. In fact, it is identical. It's just a um numbers are are a bit uh changed with the assistance program and economic

development. um just a slight tweak in the funding source, but um as you can see the uh proposed budget is 146,600 and then the uh total proposed levy is 129,000 as you can see on the screen. Uh so the total assessed value of the bid hasn't changed all that much year-over-year. I believe one property had a increased assessment of approximately 20,000 but otherwise it stayed pretty steady at 22.5 million. So um with that with the uh similar proposed budget that doesn't really change much uh for the levy as you can see. So it'll stay quite similar for our uh property owners downtown. It's uh $5.73 uh per thousand of assessed value which is how that uh that number comes to be. Um, so with that, I'd gladly open it up to questions or comments. Um, Emily, the executive director from the bid is also here who could help um, if you have any questions or comments for the bid as well.

Thank you so much. Are there questions from the common council on our fourth and final public hearing? Mayor, seeing someone um Alderman Gersham, I just want to make a comment um about how great this is that we've had such great success downtown and Diane and Emily are a big part of that. So, thank you. You any other questions or comments from the council?

10 of them. All right. Uh, any questions or comments from the public on our fourth and final public hearing? All right. Then we will close our last public hearing and that will conclude that portion of the agenda. We'll go to part E, which is public participation. Is there anybody that wishes to address the council under public participation? Then I'm going to save myself from reading the description of the public participation and we will move unless my attorney tells me I have to read it. Okay. Then we'll move on to item F. Our standing committees will be meeting during recess. Those room numbers are listed on the top of page two of your agendas. If you are here for a license or a permit or a specific item on the agenda, please uh take a look at that. And if you have questions, please grab one of us when we break for recess and we will make sure we get you in the right committee room. Move to item G, the mayor's report. I just want to mention quickly a few things coming up on um Thursday this week. The 23rd is a mass pumpkin carving at Honey Creek uh for Haunted Honey Creek. There is going to be a collection of about 100 pumpkins for the community to come and and help to decorate the Honey Creek event that will be held on Friday. Uh the carving event is 4 until 7 on Thursday. And then on Friday is the actual haunted Honey Creek event which goes from 4:00 until 9:00. There will be music, there will be samores, there will be uh bonfire, cemetery tours, ghost stories, paranormal investigations, and other activities for family fun. I do want to take a minute to thank the Rev for their sponsorship of this um event Friday night in the community and it's uh it's always a good time. That does conclude the mayor's report. Do we have any reports from the older persons?

Mayor Divine. Alderman Albert just because I said man and not woman. I want to go on record that trick-or-treating should be on Halloween, but since it's this Saturday, I just want to say, excuse me, be safe, wear warm clothing, you know, be nice to kids. Even though they might not be kids from your neighborhood, they're coming into your neighborhood because they feel safe. So, just give them some candy. That's all I got.

Thank you, Alderman Keane. Um, Mayor Divine, I just wanted to Conrad Gardens Neighborhood Association is having their Halloween block party and chili cookoff this Saturday from 12 to 3 prior to um trickor treat. They're going to be closing down the street between 86 and 87th in Orchard. Uh they're going to have a bounce house, craft station, um chili cookoff. So come and enjoy. Uh that again is Saturday from 12:00 to 3 prior to trick-or- treat. And uh I just wanted to along with Alderwoman Gisham welcome the Rev uh to D3. We attended the ribbon cutting. The place is great. Uh for those who say why would we need more apartments? Well, the fact that it's 95% rented would mean that those people thought we needed more apartments. Um and the place is great. So, um, just wanted to welcome to the neighborhood.

Thank you, Alderwoman Keane. Any other reports from the elder persons? Oh, come on, guys. Alderwoman Gisham.

Not my favorite topic, contrary to what people may think. Alderwoman Keane and I are going to be uh taking a walk along with the City of West Dallas Code Enforcement Department and Southwest Suburban Health Department. Um doing two neighborhood walkthroughs actually in District 2 and District 3 for uh education purposes and to see what we can do as a community to kind of come together um to combat this citywide issue of rats. Um, it's not exclusive to the district representatives. So, any of the other alders who want to join us in our districts or spread the word to their residents to join us, um, it would be appreciated. The walkthrough schedule will be this upcoming Monday, October 27th at 3 p.m. Uh, first meeting place will be West Mitchell in 94th Place. And then there's a second walkalong held in district 2 on October 30th at 1 pm and that will be at 77th Street and West Hicks. This is a um social media post that has been put out on all of our social media uh channels. So hope to see you there. Thank you.

You allegel.

Thank you Mayor Divine. Um, I was on a team's meeting today that, uh, Wisconsin Department of Transportation hosted about the upcoming work project. You probably saw some of it in the media, and it's actually not in West Dallas, but it's definitely going to impact our community. So, they're going to start the 7year reconstruction of I I 94 essentially between 70th Street and 16th Street. They're starting with the West Leg I think later this week. So, um that con west leg construction that's west of the stadium um is going to include closure of the eastbound onramp and the westbound off-ramp of I94 at Holly Road. And that's going to be a permanent closure. Okay. So, again, that's not in the city of West Dallas, but I know a lot of our residents use that. Um and the the relief for that council is aware and I think many of you are aware of this too is that uh West Washington Street from 70th Street is going to be pushed through to the east in behind the old Alice Chowmers and dropped down to 60th Street and that'll be called Alice Chowmer's Way. But they're not doing that for four years just so you know. I'm not sure why they're delaying on it. They didn't really have a valid reason for it. But it's going to get really crowded over there on National Avenue during rush hours. Um, but uh that's WISDOT helping us out again. So that's it. Thanks.

Thank you, Alderman. Any other reports from the older persons? Mayor, Alderman Turner. I'm sorry. At St. Augustine site 2025 South 67 Place is concerning homelessness in the uh West Alice area. Um Suzanne Singh, I didn't get her name right, will be uh there as well as interested parties from the neighborhood and around Milwaukee to discuss that. Thank you, Alderman. Any other older person's reports? Mayor Divine. You already got one. I'm piggybacking.

Go ahead. Um, I just want to piggyback off of what uh, Alderman Wel said. The closure date that I recall from the meeting was November 3rd for the East and West. Thank you. Any other older person's reports? Mayor Divine. There's not many of you left. I was hoping 10 for 10. All right. Alderman Hos, I move for approval of the October 7th, 2025 common council minutes.
