Greendale zoning change rejected, bread stand at center of debate

The Brief

  • The Greendale village board rejected a proposed zoning change tied to bakery stands at county parks within the village.
  • The Salty Dog Farm Stand was looking to move from its roadside location to Scout Lake Park.
  • The board expressed concern about the precedent the zoning change could set.

GREENDALE, Wis. The Greendale village board rejected a proposal that would’ve allowed The Salty Dog Farm Stand to set up shop in a new location.

Bakery stand

The backstory:

The bread stand’s owner said, as the business has grown in popularity, a new location would be better for customers. They’ve operated a roadside stand on county-owned land for more than a year but wanted to move to Scout Lake Park.

Milwaukee County approved the move, but the Village of Greendale’s Board of Trustees would have the final say. The village said it would have to change its zoning ordinance to accommodate a move from the county-owned land along Loomis Road to a county park.
