Staff told the board that the Planning Commission held a public hearing the prior week and recommended the conditional use permit unanimously after discussion with neighbors and adjacent businesses. The draft permit includes a limit of 15 dogs overnight in the kennel and a site-wide cap of 25 dogs at any one time; the permit also carries the village’s standard one-year review provision for conditional uses.

Village staff and the applicant said they researched state requirements and concluded there is no state licensing requirement for dog day-care or kennel operations in this context (state licensing applies to some breeders). Village Attorney Nathan Bayer reviewed the code language and staff said they will return separately with clarifying code language to address licensing and handling where appropriate.

Applicant Eric Ben Dixon told the board that this would be his first time operating a kennel but that he has eight years’ experience as a professional dog walker and has cared for dozens of dogs and maintains records of client veterinarians. He said the operation plans to kennel dogs indoors with interior partitions by size, follow AKC guidance for spacing, keep kennels to room perimeters to maintain clear egress, and maintain vaccine records including rabies, distemper, adenovirus, parvovirus, and bordetella. He said he intends to partner with local veterinarians for care as needed and that he currently carries liability insurance and is working with his insurer to add commercial-property coverage.

Trustee Thompson moved to approve the conditional use permit; Trustee Woods seconded. The motion carried unanimously on a roll-call vote. Trustee Woods moved and Trustee Thompson seconded adoption of Ordinance No. 25-03 to add dog kennels as a conditional use in the B-3 district; the ordinance passed unanimously.

Staff said the Planning Commission and neighbors in attendance expressed general comfort with the applicant’s answers about noise, waste management, and staffing and that the one-year review would allow the village to revisit operations if complaints arise.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Village Board Meeting - March 17, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Brown Deer’s Village Board on March 3 approved a conditional use permit for Garden of Dogs LLC at 8254 North Cactonia Avenue and adopted Ordinance 25-03 to add dog kennels as a conditional use in the B-3 zoning district.","taxTitle","Brown Deer, Milwaukee County, Wisconsin","taxId",70167,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6125453,"Brown Deer board adopts resolution 2504 to discontinue portion of North Green Bay Road; land swap tied to Beaver Creek daylighting",243,424000,667000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2677074-4fc157cd5a2e12d6fd8fa6136eda08a3&start=424&end=667","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2677074-4fc157cd5a2e12d6fd8fa6136eda08a3/thumbnail_424000.jpg","/articles/6125453/Brown-Deer/Milwaukee-County/Wisconsin/Brown-Deer-board-adopts-resolution-2504-to-discontinue-portion-of-North-Green-Bay-Road-land-swap-tied-to-Beaver-Creek-daylighting","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6125453-2cf2e2e14f47331851cbc1bf9fd9efac/orig.mp4?Expires=1771178415&Signature=kFlc2SHGcf41Ap3h2icWQ17tqgFLNLmBhUeqqJUzc71XW9d0ZwzadBwAQdQXviAX9wPhDP5csTCRLmo9lr5~QTiiBYPtO5HGovTqNW~zkUXSjBo4ZJmU2TCZKSPJGlvN3IwSNOG-uO2eDC4WkjbYHLR9fOVwcNGGR1QUbFi9KWUq7YOa7KQBFdDnTX4GUseF9mrbm1MsSbFslDBZSqMb-8ePqlm5vz7ovHWs9FJa5nGKY4s4IYRckKTkgFVJhbqFhF1-SBxIGX7fUkPGGBIbr9zmmUfR4xaYKrbbjceyVMhZr-ZDIe0oRniiiiBVzCbRlbTt3~RrRor5Jfk4pLrsqQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Village of Brown Deer Village Board voted unanimously on March 3 to adopt Resolution No. 2504 to discontinue a portion of the frontage right-of-way along North Green Bay Road.

At a public hearing required by statute, village staff described the right-of-way as the frontage road between North Deerwood Drive at the Marketplace shopping center outlot and the north side of the Pick 'n Save grocery store. Staff said the right-of-way primarily served an outlot and that redevelopment and reduced commercial use on the northern portion of the shopping center prompted staff to recommend discontinuation.

Staff said the discontinuation is conditioned on an exchange in which, once the southern half of the shopping center closes, the village would accept land that daylighted Beaver Creek beneath an existing parking-lot area. Staff also said the village would reserve a small easement for a water-main extension to a fire hydrant.

According to staff, statutory steps were completed, including a 60-day notice to the Wisconsin Department of Transportation and notice to the adjacent property owner; staff reported receiving agreement from the single adjacent owner and no opposing comments from other community members during the notice period and public hearing.

Trustee Greaves moved to approve Resolution No. 2504; Trustee Owens seconded. The motion carried unanimously on a roll-call vote with the trustees recorded as voting aye.

No public testimony was recorded at the hearing, and no additional conditions beyond the reserved easement were listed at the meeting. The resolution closes the identified village-owned maintenance and ownership responsibilities for the discontinued right-of-way and effectuates the land swap described by staff.","The Village of Brown Deer Village Board on March 3 unanimously adopted Resolution No. 2504 to discontinue a portion of North Green Bay Road frontage right-of-way between North Deerwood Drive and 9200 N.

The staff member said the pump track planned for a village park is manufactured in Slovakia and that while no tariffs are in effect at this moment, talks between the U.S. and the European Union mean the village is watching supply and pricing. The staff member said the village has asked the project lead, identified in the record as Minton, to expedite manufacture and shipping where possible to avoid tariff exposure.

Staff also reported that the selected self-cleaning bathroom unit, manufactured by Urban Blue in Canada, faces an existing 25% tariff on Canadian imports. The staff member said the manufacturer’s initial guidance suggests the tariff may not apply in this specific procurement, but no definitive ruling or paperwork had been produced at the time of the meeting. The staff member said a 25% tariff on the bathroom could increase project costs by “just over a hundred thousand dollars,” which would push the project above the current budget and require the board to weigh options.

The staff member said the tariff issue could appear on the board agenda on April 7; regardless of scheduling, staff will update the board once they receive definitive documentation from the manufacturer or from federal trade authorities. The staff member also said the village would ask the board whether to proceed, seek alternatives, or pause purchasing if a tariff applies.

During the same staff report, village staff described a separate meeting with a private tenant (identified in the record as an ETD representative, Noah) about a planned traffic signal project. Staff said Noah “understood the vision” and indicated a willingness to cooperate; staff noted that the tenant currently uses roughly half of the space affected and that coordination on site use and signal construction would continue.

The board took no formal action on either matter at the March 3 meeting; staff characterized both items as monitoring and follow-up tasks that may require future board direction if financial impacts materialize.","At the March 3 Village of Brown Deer board meeting, staff reported potential tariffs affecting a Slovakia-made pump track and a Canadian-made self-cleaning restroom that could add roughly 25% and an estimated $100,000 to project costs; staff said they are monitoring and will return to the board if budget impacts arise.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6125444,"Brown Deer board votes to enter closed session for village manager performance evaluation under Wis.
