1. The Liddle request was represented by Bill Liddle, 1439 Steeple Drive, River Falls, Wisconsin. Mr.
Liddle told the committee that his mother, Viola Liddle, wishes to rezone the parcel from Ag to Ag
Residential in order to create lots of 10-15 acres for family members. He explained that land on three
sides of the property is zoned Ag Residential, and that adjoining property they own in Kinnickinnic
Township is zoned Ag Residential. Mrs. Liddle is asking for 79 acres to be rezoned.
Al Kraft, Pleasant Valley Town Chairman, referring to a letter sent to the committee, said that an
agreement was reached at the town board meeting to recommend rezoning only portions of the Liddle
property labeled on a map attached to the letter sent to the committee by the township.
Committee questioned the total acreage approved by the town, and Mr. Kraft said that the exact acreage
is not known.
Bill Liddle told the committee that when the town adopted exclusive Ag zoning, his mother's property
was placed in exclusive Ag without her realizing it was happening. They acknowledge that the county
maps show it as Ag, and would like it to be rezoned to Ag Residential. It could not immediately be
determined if the land the town agreed to have rezoned agrees with the acreage or the description shown
on the application.
The committee agreed to delay a decision on the request until such time as the acreage and description
are clarified by the applicant. Another hearing will not be held unless the total acreage exceeds the 79.04
acres that was requested in the application. If it does not exceed 79.04 acres the committee decision will
be made when the information is received through the Zoning Office,
2. Ralph Gavic, E638 Maryland Drive, Spring Valley, Wisconsin, told the committee that he wants to
rezone a 1.15 acre parcel in order to permit his daughter, Laurie Krear, to have a beauty shop in her
home. He presented a certified survey map of the 1.15 acres.
A letter from the town board supporting the request was read into the record by Jenkins
Chairman Dorsey called for further comments or questions, and when none were received, a motion was
made by Hense, seconded by Menter, to close the hearing.
Luckey explained the provisions of State Stats. 91.77 to the township and questioned the town board on
whether the provisions have been met. The town chairman answered that the provisions have been met.
A motion was made by Luckey to recommend approval of the request to the County Board, with the
stipulation that both the township and the county find that the provisions of Wl Stat. 91.77 have been met.
The motion was seconded by Hense. Motion carried.
A motion was made by Hense, seconded by Luckey to adjourn. Motion carried. Meeting adjourned at
