Change in Meeting Schedule AGENDA ITEMS FOR NEXT MEETING ANNOUNCEMENTS & CORRESPONDENCE ADJOURNMENT (This agenda not necessarily presented in this order) Submitted by: St. Croix County Planning Department Date: April 18, 1996 cc: County Board Office News Media/Notice County Clerk Committee Members a MINUTES PLANNING, ZONING & PARKS COMMITTEE APRIL 23, 1996 ST. CROIX COUNTY GOVERNMENT CENTER, HUDSON, WI PRESENT: Chairperson Tom Dorsey; Supervisors Linda Luckey, Ron Raymond, George Menter and Bill Oemichen. Staff present included Joe Grant, Ellen Denzer, Mary Jenkins, Ryan Dahlke, Tom Nelson, Dave Fodroczi and Rosemary Olson. Guests in attendance were Cyril Cernohous, Al Nyhagen, Jim Weber, Larry Murphy, Harvey Johnson, Doug Zahler and Rita Horne. Chairperson Dorsey called the meeting to order at 9:07 a.m. Motion by Raymond, seconded by Menter to adopt the agenda. Motion carried. Motion by Raymond, seconded by Luckey to approve the February 27th, March 26th, March 27th and April 3rd minutes with corrections by Luckey. Motion carried. The date of the May meeting was confirmed for the 28th. PARK BUSINESS Bills and Invoices Motion by Menter, seconded by Raymond to approve the Park bills totalling $2,221.94. Motion carried. Park Manager's Report Grant reported on his telephone conversation with George Ikested, an engineer from DOT in regard to the snowmobile crossing on the new Highway 64 corridor. Originally the DOT was going to put the crossing under the road after it becomes a four lane road. After doing some preliminary cost estimates, it has been determined that it would cost too much to have an under -grade crossing. The DOT is also considering making the under -grade crossing smaller to cut the cost or an at -grade crossing across the 4 lanes. Motion by Raymond, seconded by Menter that this Committee suggests to DOT that an at -grade crossing for snowmobiles is unacceptable. Motion carried. Woodville Trail Grant reported that there is a meeting scheduled for Friday, April 26th at 9:00 a.m. with Captain Rich DeMaris from the Army Reserve at the Senior Citizens Center in Woodville. The purpose of the meeting is to see what the Army Reserve group can help with and provide in repairing the Woodville Trail. Grant encouraged Committee members to attend the meeting. Park Manager's Report Continued Grant reported that a representative from DILHR was at Glen Hills Park to do the yearly inspection. The inspection report found the park in violation of nine different items. Grant noted that the County Maintenance and Highway Departments, and the Emergency Government Office have been helping him with these items. A draft has been written of the plan and will be in compliance by June 6, 1996. Grant noted that he did not budget for safety equipment in 1996. Perch Lake Denzer reported that an appraiser from Lake Tomahawk, WI, Norm Mesum has been chosen to do the appraisal on the Perch Lake Property. In her letter of confirmation to Mesum, Denzer stated that the appraisal would be completed by May 31st and suggested that he make a presentation to the Committee to explain the appraisal process, the methodology and his numbers at the May Committee meeting. Discussion on the appraiser having enough time to do revisions to the appraisal by the 31 st, with comments from the Committee, after the presentation on May 28th. Raymond requested Grant develop cost estimates on the development of the park and annual maintenance of the park. Grant reported that one of the new lawn mowers has a dent in the hood and needs to be replaced. The Committee agreed that Grant should call Polfus Implement and ask to have the mower replaced with a new one instead of having the hood replaced. MINOR SUBDIVISIONS 21 Minor Subdivisions were acted upon as seen in Attachment A. MAJOR SUBDIVISIONS Grange Valley - Town of Hudson Motion by Oemichen, seconded by Raymond to grant conditional preliminary plat approval per staff recommendations and the conditions listed in a letter dated April 15, 1996 from the Highway Department. Motion carried. Second Addition to Tanney Ridge Special Addition - Town of Hudson Motion by Raymond, seconded by Oemichen to grant conditional final plat approval per staff recommendations, with an additional 200% of the total cost for the construction of the pond on lots 7 & 8, plus completion of the cul de sac in the first phase.

Motion carried. Mallard Run - Motion by Oemichen, seconded by Luckey to reject this plat because of the erosion issues, the road access issue and the septic issues. Motion carried. Wingate - Town of Troy Motion by Raymond, seconded by Luckey to reject this plat because of the emergency access and driveway access to lot #1. Motion carried. Stone Pine Second Addition - City of Hudson Motion by Dorsey, seconded by Oemichen to have the developer come to the May meeting and explain what is being planned for the large lot around the small lots and how it will be owned. Motion carried. Galahad Landing - Village of North Hudson Motion by Oemichen, seconded by Raymond to give plat approval. Motion carried. 04 ZONING BUSINESS Bills, Invoices & Revenue Report Motion by Oemichen, seconded by Menter to approve the Zoning bills totalling $3,752.64. Motion carried. Chairperson Dorsey requested that the minutes show that the Committee reviewed the revenue report. Violation & Citations Nelson distributed a copy of the current violations and informed the Committee of problems with the Town of Warren Zoning Administrator. He had issued a permit for a storage shed, knowing this was going to be a residence. When the Zoning Office reviewed the building plans, they were told that it was a after -thought to build a residence and not a storage shed. Nelson noted that similar incidents have happened before with this Zoning Administrator. The Committee agreed that Nelson should send a letter to the Town of Warren Zoning Administrator and express the Committees dissatisfaction with this type of behavior. Building Inspector Nelson reported on what information he has been able to get from other counties and the Personnel Department regarding a County Building Inspector position. Nelson talked to the Zoning Director in Eau Claire County who has a Building Inspector. He is currently inspecting approximately 400 homes a year, with a base salary of $35,000. The St. Croix County Personnel Director thought this should be contracted out with the person being part-time. Nelson will attend the Towns Association meeting this week and find out how the other towns feel about this. Road Construction Issues - 11:30 a.m. Jenkins explained that in 1994 a two lot minor subdivision was approved for Bradford Zuehlke, Section 17, Town of warren, with the joint access being approved by the Highway Department. A performance bond of $1,440 was posted at that time. Since then, lot 1 was purchased by Barry Meyer. Some erosion has occurred, and it has been determined by the Land Conservation Department that in addition to the installation of ditches on both sides of the road, and proper erosion procedures to be implemented, the placement of a properly sized culvert will be required to correct the erosion problem. The issue at this time is whether the County's liability extends beyond the erosion control measures escrowed for at the time of map approval. The Committee agreed that a letter be sent to Mr Meyers stating that the $1,440 held in escrow will be used for erosion control procedures. Town of Hudson Ordinance Amendment - 1:30 p.m. Nelson distributed a copy of the new language and the Towns action, requesting an amendment to their Light Industrial/Commercial zoning ordinance. Horne will send a copy of the current Industrial and Commercial ordinance for the Committee to review. Motion by Oemichen, seconded by Raymond to the County Board that this language for the Town of Hudson Commercial/Light Industrial District Ordinance be adopted at the May 21st County Board meeting. Horne will be present at the County Board meeting to give a presentation on the new language. Rezonements June 5th - Town of Somerset, Ag to Ag Res - view at 7:30 p.m., two hearings at 8:00 p.m. Ordinance Amendments - Condominiums Nelson distributed a copy of the language recommendation from Corporation Counsel to be added to the subdivision ordinance in section 18.02 for condominium development. After some discussion, the Committee requested that Nelson have the language re -written and bring it to the Committee meeting on the 29th. In Chairperson Dorsey's absence from the meeting at 2:35 p.m., Vice Chairperson Oemichen asked for a motion to approve the April 17th Committee minutes. Motion by Raymond, seconded by Luckey to approve the minutes dated April 17, 1996. Motion carried. Personnel Nelson reported that he has not received a letter of resignation from Administrative Secretary, Marilyn Zais as of yet and as soon as he has received the letter he will be posting the position notice. If no one posts into the job, it will then be advertised in local newspapers and interviews will have to be held. Nelson asked how involved the Committee wanted to be in the interview process? Luckey, Raymond and Menter stated that they would like to be a part of the interview process. The Committee discussed setting up the yearly job evaluations for the Parks Director, Planning Director and Zoning Administrator. It was determined that the evaluations will be done on June 3rd, at 7:00 p.m. at the Government Center. Vice Chairperson Oemichen requested that Joe Grant, Dave Fodroczi and Tom Nelson submit a one page summary of accomplishments over the last year at the evaluation meeting. Temporary Occupancy Permits Nelson distributed language from the ordinance that was adopted in 1986 to administer individuals who wanted to move a trailer house on to a property to live in temporarily, or build a second residence on a parcel and live in the existing residence until the new residence is completed. The old residence would then have to be removed. Corporation Counsel has determined that the language does not give the County the authority to enforce the removal of the old residence off the property within the required time limit. Oemichen stated the proper language would read "a temporary dwelling unit includes an existing house on the site that is being replaced." Motion by Raymond seconded by Menter to replace the current language in the ordinance to read "a temporary dwelling unit includes an existing house on the site that is being replaced." Motion carried. Subdivision Review Procedures The Committee agreed to discuss this at the May meeting. Town of Emerald Escrow Release Motion by Menter, seconded by Raymond to approve the request from the Town of Emerald for $298.25 from their escrow account for curb and gutters at the park. Motion carried. 4 PLANNING BUSINESS Bills, Invoices & Revenue Report Motion by Raymond, seconded by Luckey to approve the Planning bills totalling $22,525.66. Motion carried. Vice Chairperson Oemichen requested that the minutes show that the Committee reviewed the revenue report. Chairperson Dorsey returned to the meeting at 3:05 p.m. ZONING BUSINESS CONTINUED Shoreland Ordinance Amendment Chairperson Dorsey explained that Supervisor George Sinclear was upset because the Highway Department was never notified that this amendment was taking place. After lengthy discussion the Committee agreed to have a joint meeting with the Transportation Committee on May 8th, to further discuss this issue. CHANGE IN MEETING SCHEDULE Chairperson Dorsey stated that some of the Planning, Zoning & Parks Committee members and himself talked about having two meetings a month. Several options were discussed and it was determined that materials to be discussed at the meeting will be mailed to the Committee prior to the meeting, to help the Committee be more informed to speed up the meeting. Nelson will work on having the same policy for the minor subdivisions as the majors, to require CSM's be submitted to the Zoning Office 10 working days before the Committee meeting. It was further decided that the Zoning Business will be from 9:00 a.m. to noon, Park Business from 1:00 to 1:30 p.m. and Planning Business the remainder of the afternoon., then any Zoning Business not completed earlier in the meeting will be taken up after the Planning Business is completed. PLANNING BUSINESS CONTINUED Metropolitan Planning Issues Fodroczi reported that he contacted Polk and Pierce counties to see if they were interested in joining St. Croix County on the Metropolitan Planning issues. Pierce County has been focused on the airport project and haven't been paying too much attention to anything else going on, and Polk County said they would review the briefing paper and decide. Fodroczi asked if he could arrange to have this put on Polk and Pierce County Planning and Zoning Committee agenda's, and would Committee members would be willing to attend those meetings to discuss this with them. Oemichen agreed to go to the Pierce County Committee meeting and Chairperson Dorsey would attend the Polk County Committee meeting. County Bike Plan Denzer reported on the Public Information meeting. Oemichen stated that he is interested in seeing a bike trail from Hudson to Troy Park, along County Road F. Denzer explained that County Road F is not on the map because it does not meet the criteria. The only way it could be on the map is if it was recommended for an off -road path. The reason it was not recommended in the plan is because it would be too expensive to do. Discussion on whether the Bike Plan is to be approved by the County Board. Denzer reported on a letter she received from DOT in response to her letter regarding an off -road bike 5 path off the new St. Croix River bridge to the overlook on highway 35. The letter indicated that they are willing to accommodate our needs. Since then she has heard from DOT stating that they have changed their minds and it may not be possible because it is too expensive. Luckey will attend a meeting with DOT to discuss why they will not accommodate the County with the off -road bike path. Land Information Project Fodroczi distributed a copy of the monthly status report from UGC for March. Real Property Lister Report Fodroczi reported that many of the municipalities are attempting to be on time with their Boards of Review for the middle of May. Staff is working very hard to get all the changes done in time. Fodroczi reported that staff is working with the Treasurers Department and Information Services Committee to look at options for a Real Property/Tax computer system.
