Town of Somerset from Agricultural to Ag-Residential and an application from Wilma Schachtner,

Wisconsin Fund 1997 Grant Awards
Nelson distributed and reviewed a Grant Award from the Wisconsin Department of Commerce for
Wisconsin Fund Private Sewage System Replacement and Rehabilitation Grants. The grant award totalled
$30,485 for 14 septic systems to be replaced from July 1, 1996 to December 31, 1997. Only Category
i failures involving discharges to lakes or streams or contamination of groundwater were funded at 87%
of cost. Nelson and Committee discussed the possibility of refunding the $50.00 application fee to
applicants who were not funded. Committee concurred that the County incurred the same cost for
processing unsuccessful applications. Motion by Menter, seconded by Raymond that the application fee
of $50.00 would be nonrefundable with the understanding that applicants would be so advised. Motion
carried.
Minimum Lot Sizes
Nelson summarized recent interest in smaller residential lot sizes by local officials and a developer in the
Town of Troy. Current Residential zoning would allow lot sizes as low as 10,000 square feet if developed
on community sewer systems. Nelson indicated that there was a request for the Committee to interpret
what type of system would meet the requirements for community sewer. Charles Cook of Continental
Development presented a concept plan of how community systems could facilitate cluster development
for his proposed project in Troy. Raymond commented that the Committee does not have an adequate
strategy or policy in place to decide. Luckey suggested looking at examples of successful cluster
developments before setting policy. Dorsey indicated that the Committee would have to continue
consideration at a future meeting and encouraged staff and Mr. Cook to identify some existing cluster
developments for review.

The Committee reviewed and acted on the 14 minor subdivisions in Attachment A.
MAJOR SUBDIVISIONS
The Committee reviewed and acted on the three major subdivisions in Attachment B.
ZONING BUSINESS - continued

District. Nelson expressed concern that the opinion was in conflict with a longstanding interpretation of
the applicable ordinance provisions. He indicated that Timmerman was on vacation and not available for
the meeting. Motion by Raymond, seconded by Luckey to reject Corporation Counsel's opinion until he
was available to represent himself. Following additional comments from Nelson and Bob Rolle of the
Town of Troy Planning Board, motion carried.
Shoreland Zoning Understanding with Highway
Nelson indicated that he has been comfortable with the understanding with the Highway Department on
individual project reviews under the Shoreland Zoning Ordinance. Luckey indicated that it was the
Committee's intent to have that understanding in writing. Dorsey asked Nelson to work with Highway
Commissioner Fedderly and bring back a policy in writing.

Any Other Business
John Heintz, Chairman of the Town of Star Prairie, appeared to express concern about construction of a

properly approved by the Town and County and was in conformity with the subdivision ordinance.
UNFINISHED BUSINESS
Reorganization of Zoning Department - Organization Design and New Position Request
Personnel Director Deb Kathan appeared to discuss the reorganization and new position. She indicated
that the Personnel Committee had approved the new position, but an organizational chart and revised job
description for a Zoning Specialist would be needed to implement the reorganization and secure Finance
Committee approval. Kathan presented a proposed organizational chart and job description for a Zoning
Specialist. Discussion. Motion by Raymond, seconded by Menter to approve the job description and
organizational chart. Motion carried.
The Committee recessed for lunch.
PARKS BUSINESS
Woodville Trail
County Board Supervisor Art Jacobson appeared to update the Committee on proposed improvements to
the Woodville Trail. He indicated that the first bridge on the trail could be replaced this year with
assistance from the Army Reserve, if the County could provide $26,000 for supplies and materials from
the Contingency Fund. The balance of trail improvements could occur in 1997-98. Motion by Dorsey,
seconded by Luckey to support Jacobson request to Finance Committee for $26,000 of Contingency Funds
for replacement of bridge. Discussion of overall plans for trail and competing interests among users.
Motion carried with Menter voting "No".

July of each year.
Park Manager's Report

procedural concerns to Art Jacobson. He said attendance was up at Troy Park and staff suggested
consideration of a non-resident fee. The toilet building was still scheduled to be shingled this year.
Business at Glen Hills had picked up as the weather improved. Grant was working on the final
snowmobile billing for last season. He indicated that there had not been time for any general dam
maintenance, but staff had pulled out beaver dams on structure #2.

Perch Lake'
Motion by Raymond, seconded by Luckey to go into closed session pursuant to Wisconsin Statute Section
19.85(1)(e) to deliberate on the possible acquisition of Perch Lake property. Unanimous roll call vote.

Zilz reported that only four assessment work rolls remained to be submitted by assessors for processing.
She felt added correspondence about scheduling helped improve the work flow. Zilz and Committee
discussed assessment compliance, Town of Troy application requirements, office procedures and public
information requests. Fodroczi indicated that staff had been waiting on SB 606 to develop an information
access policy, but the bill had just been vetoed by the Governor. Raymond suggested developing a policy
within existing law.
Land Information Project
Committee and staff discussed developing 1997 budget strategy for land information projects in light of
further consideration and refinement of recommendations from the land information consultant.
Any Other Business

Ordinance project. Discussion. Committee set a special work session meeting for 7:00 p.m. on Monday,
August 12, 1996 to discuss the Committee's role and issues for the visioning session and the session's
impact on the rest of the planning process.

RECLASSIFICATIONS - REGISTER OF DEEDS
Walsh presented a written request to reclassify three positions in the Register of Deeds Office. She
reviewed the increased responsibilities and changing technology that were the basis for her justification.
Walsh indicated that the reclassifications would add about $2,000 in annual costs to her budget. After
discussion of wages and reclassification process, Menter made a motion, seconded by Luckey to support
the request for reclassification of the three positions. Motion carried.
