Sec. 6-13-22(C)(5) of the Village of Ashwaubenon Municipal Code requires that 'There shall not be excessive noise, fumes, glare, vibrations generated during the use' of any licensed short-term rental. Sec. 6-13-22(C)(9) limits any outdoor event held at a short-term rental to no longer than one day, occurring only between 8:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m., and requires that 'Any activities shall be in compliance with other noise regulations of the Village.' These standards work together with the Sec. 11-1-23(J) public-nuisance rule against animals or fowl that 'by frequent or habitual howling, yelping, barking, crowing or making of other noises, greatly annoys or disturbs a neighborhood' and the Village's general noise ordinance at Sec. 9-06. Article 13 of Chapter 6 was adopted under Wis. Stat. Sec. 66.1014 (the Wisconsin short-term rental statute) and Wis. Stat. Sec. 61.35 (village zoning).
Article 13 of Chapter 6 (Sec. 6-13-20 through 6-13-33) governs short-term rentals in the Village of Ashwaubenon. Sec. 6-13-21 defines a Short Term Rental, by reference to Wis. Stat. Sec. 66.0615(1)(dk), as 'a residential dwelling that is offered for rent for a fee and for fewer than 29 consecutive days.' Sec. 6-13-22(C) lists the operating standards each licensed STR must follow. Sec. 6-13-22(C)(4) requires that 'No vehicular traffic shall be generated that is greater than normally expected in the residential neighborhood,' and Sec. 6-13-22(C)(5) requires that 'There shall not be excessive noise, fumes, glare, vibrations generated during the use.' Sec. 6-13-22(C)(9) governs outdoor events: 'Any outdoor event held at the short-term rental shall last no longer than one day occurring between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. Any activities shall be in compliance with other noise regulations of the Village.' Sec. 6-13-26 requires the Property Manager to be within 25 miles of the rental and available 24 hours a day, and Sec. 6-13-22(C)(13) requires the Village to be notified within 24 hours of any change in management contact. Sec. 6-13-30(B)(3) authorizes revocation of the STR license upon 'Three (3) or more calls for police service, building inspection or the health department for nuisance activities or other law violations in a twelve (12) month period as defined in Sec. 11-1-26, Chronic Nuisance Premises.' Sec. 11-1-26(B)(5)(o) lists 'Noise violations as defined in section 9-06, Ashwaubenon Municipal Code' as a qualifying nuisance activity for the chronic-nuisance count. The general public-nuisance rule at Sec. 11-1-23(J) covers any animal that 'by frequent or habitual howling, yelping, barking, crowing or making of other noises, greatly annoys or disturbs a neighborhood.' Article 13 was adopted by Ord. No. O5-1-23 (5-23-2023) and Ord. No. O6-1-24 (6-25-2024) under Wis. Stat. Sec. 66.1014 and Sec. 61.35.
Generating excessive noise from a licensed STR violates Sec. 6-13-22(C)(5) and is independently subject to the Village's general noise ordinance at Sec. 9-06. Sec. 6-13-31 imposes penalties under the Sec. 1-1-13 forfeiture and bond schedule of the Village Municipal Court, and Sec. 6-13-31(B) preserves all 'remedies of injunction, abatement or costs.' Three or more nuisance-activity enforcement actions in a 12-month period make the property a Chronic Nuisance Premises under Sec. 11-1-26 and a basis for license revocation by the Village Board under Sec. 6-13-30(B)(3). Sec. 11-1-26(H)-(I) sets forfeitures of $1.00 to $1,000.00 for a first offense and $200.00 to $2,000.00 for a subsequent offense within 24 months, and Sec. 11-1-26(F) authorizes the Chief of Public Safety to assess the cost of police response as a special charge after the third nuisance call.
