Violations & Citations Nelson presented one citation which was issued to Daniel G. Brzozowski, Town of Troy. Brzozowski began construction without proper building and sanitary permits. Nelson also noted that an easement on this property had not been recorded after the survey was done. The Committee agreed that easements will need to be recorded before any CSM is approved.

The Committee took a break at 9:55 a.m. and reconvened at 10:05 a.m. MINOR SUBDIVISIONS The Committee reviewed 12 and acted on 11 minor subdivisions in Attachment B. Chuck Cook, Continental Development Corp., presented his concerns with road construction standards in relation to his large cluster development project in the Town of Troy. Cook would like to see changes to the Zoning Ordinance which would give the developer the option to choose alternate road designs. He would also like to see a policy change in Chapter 17.64 of the Zoning Ordinance regarding highway setbacks and Class E Highways. Cook explained that with cluster development it is difficult to meet driveway separation and setback requirements. He feels these requirements to be excessive in a project with one acre lots. The Committee expressed that any change in the zoning ordinance would have to fit in the long-range zoning ordinance plan. Committee agreed that Cook should do more research and present examples of main and cluster roads at next month's meeting. Floodplain Mapping - Glen Hills Watershed Heise presented breach route study maps to the committee to begin the process for adopting a moratorium. The moratorium will give the engineers time to define the floodplain. The committee set the date of Wednesday, November 6, at the Glenwood Town Hall, 8:00 p.m. to present this information to the Town so that it may be presented to the County Board in November. Any Other Business Nelson noted that the rezonement hearing scheduled for Wednesday, October 16, in the Town of Richmond may not be heard because the DOT has concerns and the City is opposed. Nelson also noted that the hearing scheduled for October 23rd in Erin Prairie is also opposed by the Town. Raymond suggested that the Committee select a day for holding evening meetings. Wednesday evenings were the best nights to accommodate the committee's schedules. The Committee discussed minor subdivision application deadlines and the problems with the surveyors getting required information in on time. Hense suggested that the Zoning Office send out a letter to all surveyors reminding them of the deadline and required information to be submitted. 2 The Committee recessed for lunch at 11:25 a.m. and reconvened at 12:40 p.m. PLANNING BUSINESS Bills, Invoices & Revenue Report Motion by Menter, second by Hense to approve August Planning bills in the amount of $446.91. Motion carried. County Development Management Plan/Zoning Ordinance Fodroczi reminded the committee of the October 1st deadline for cameras and noted that the date of October 3rd had been set for the Zoning Workgroup meeting. Metropolitan Planning Fodroczi stated he and Chairman Dorsey attended the Polk County Planning meeting. Polk and Pierce Counties are interested in creating a joint resolution. Fodroczi said he will be attending the Pierce County Land Management meeting in Ellsworth and would like a committee member to attend as well. Hense elected to attend meeting with Fodroczi on October 29th, at 7:00 p.m. Fodroczi presented a memo from Dan McGuinness, Director of the Minnesota -Wisconsin Boundary Area Commission. The memo is an invitation to the three Wisconsin counties to create a focus group to discuss urban growth management issues along the river. Committee questioned what the results from this group would be used for. Raymond suggested drafting a resolution to present at the October 29th meeting. Bass Lake Flood Hazard Mitigation Plan Fodroczi handed out a memo from Kris Recker, Cedar Corp. requesting input from various staff for their Bass Lake Flood Mitigation Plan. The Committee questioned the County's involvement in this plan and if money would come out of the County. Fodroczi suggested reviewing the plan more carefully for discussion at next month's meeting. Fodroczi feels there is a potential role for local government to play in this plan. The Committee expressed caution in getting involved. Any Other Business Fodroczi presented a letter from Rick and Lois Scolrud from Hammond. They oppose the petition for annexation of their neighbor who wants to be annexed to the Village for a proposed manufactured home park. Raymond noted that the Committee doesn't have a vote in this matter. PARKS BUSINESS Bills and Invoices Motion by Hense, second by Luckey to approve September Park bills in the amount of $1,679.45. Motion carried. Raymond acknowledged review of the Park User Fees comparing revenues for 1995 and 1996 through September for each year. Committee discussion on replacement of tractor. Hense suggested leasing from Polfus. To hire the Highway Department would be too costly. Raymond noted budgets are seta Park Manager's Report Dave Larson, Assistant Parks Director, informed the Committee that Troy Park is now closed and that it was a below average summer down about 1,000 visitors. Glen Hills camping activity has been good with day use being spotty. Larson noted new directional signs were erected for Pine Lake. The ten dams in the watershed have been mowed. Seasonal help is gone with the exception of the community service gentleman who contributed 270 hours and has 230 hours left. Perch Lake Project Denzer stated they will be exercising the Waldruff Option -to -Purchase. The Seims are leaving picnic tables, trash cans and dumpsters. They will be given extra time in the spring to clean out the old cabin. Parks Department was asked to work on cleaning up the old barrels. Committee discussed the abstract. Roger Beavers wants the boundary survey done before drawing up the abstract. Motion by Hense, second by Menter to have the County Surveyor do the boundary survey work. Motion carried. Denzer noted that the DNR grant application needs to be reviewed and she is working on it. The amount of $56,750 in Debt Service is enough to cover the total project. She would like to see $10,000 to $12,000 put into a Perch Lake account where they can access it when necessary for gates, signage, a match for a park plan, and surveying. Denzer suggested having a park master plan for next year. Raymond wants the Parks Department to take the lead in this project. He requested they submit a plan at next month's meeting. Committee discussed need for a professional planner. Hense would like to see Grant's and Larson's ideas implemented into this park. Committee discussed the Seim's involvement with the park and the option of leasing it back to them to operate as part of the transition. Raymond suggested discussing the Seim's involvement at next month's meeting. Pine Lake Larson informed the Committee that NSP has a poorly defined easement and they want a 50' maximum width easement. The new easement agreement is more restrictive and beneficial to the Park. Motion by Hense to approve Parks' request to enter into new easement agreement with NSP. Second by Menter. Motion carried. Woodville Trail Larson presented a picture of the aluminum box culvert being installed the week of October 1 st and noted it cost $22,000 to do the culvert. 9 Any Other Business Snowmobile Trail - Larson said that everyone in the district overspent their accounts because of the good snowfall.
