APPLICANT: David & Michelle Lee LOCATION: NW '/ - NW '/, and SW '/ -NW '/, Section 10, T29N, RI 6W, Town of Baldwin ADDRESS: 2409110 th Avenue REQUEST: To rezone approximately 20.0 + /- acres from Ag 11 to Ag Res pursuant to 17.72 of the St. Croix County Zoning Ordinance. Grabau reviewed the staff report as well as a current County zoning map and a map of the proposed rezoning. David & Michelle Lee own lot 1 of CSM (v.14 p.3957) that is zoned Agricultural District Two (Ag II) and they request to rezone the lot to Agricultural Residential (Ag -Res) in order to subdivide the lot into three smaller lots. They propose lot sizes will consist of one ten acre lot and two five acre lots. Staff recommends that the Committee approve the rezoning of the lots listed in this application based on the following findings of fact: 1. Based on TRC findings (# 1 -18) the rezoning is consistent or generally consistent with the County Development Management Plan and the County Natural Resources Management Plan. 2. It appears that the proposed use can comply with standards in the Land Use, Subdivision and Sanitary Ordinances. 3. The proposed use is consistent with the spirit or intent of the Ordinance. Grabau asked if the committee had any questions. Discussion between committee members and staff regarding slopes on the property, which Grabau reported there are no slopes. The Town of Baldwin recommended approval of the rezoning request. Chair Hermsen asked three times if there was anyone wishing to speak in favor of this request which included Don Johnson, Supervisor Town of Baldwin and Dave Niccum, Planning Commissioner, Town of Baldwin. He also asked three times if there was anyone wishing to speak in opposition of this request. Hearing none he closed the public hearing. Motion by Ruetz' 2 nd by Marzolf to approve the rezoning with no conditions. Amended motion by Ruetz, 2 nd by Marzolf to approve the rezoning application based on staff s findings and recommendation. Chair Hermsen asked for a vote to approve the amended motion to approve the rezoning. Motion carried. Land Use Ordinance Applications Municipal Plats: None 2 Action Items Community Development Meeting Schedule: Fodroczi led the discussion about the history of the 4 th Wednesday committee meeting being for public hearings, and that the 4 th Thursday is Board of Adjustment (BOA), which can take a considerable amount of time. He asked the CDC to consider the 3rd Thursday of the month (if we're staying with evening meetings). Almost all Towns meet during the first two weeks of the month in the evening so we should stay away from those two weeks. Thursdays work well for publication purposes. The BOA could consider moving their meeting as a possible solution. Hermsen suggested a two - meeting a month schedule. Committee members suggested that the County Board may want to consider meeting the first Tuesday of the month for scheduling purposes. CDC sends a large amount of information to the County Board. This would give staff and CDC adequate time to adequately prepare for both meetings. Norton- Bauman suggested starting the meetings at 1:00 p.m. Shearer is opposed to meetings prior to 3:30 p.m. due to conflicts with his job. No decision made. Discussion about amended agenda. Some members were not aware of the amended agenda that was duly posted. Motion by Marzolf, 2nd by Shearer to amend original agenda and reconsider motion to accept revised agenda. Motion carried. Reports Discussion Regarding Citizen Request for an Animal Shelter in New Richmond: Letter from Mania to use CIP for animal shelter care. No action taken. Discussion Concerning County Parks Ordinance on Gun Restrictions: Dave Olson from Glenwood City discussed open/carry laws and stated that the County ordinance is in direct conflict with state statute to openly carry firearms on county property. Hermsen stated that he feels the County's ordinance is inconsistent with state law and it would be prudent to discuss this issue. Stauffer stated that the Sherriff's job is to enforce the laws and it's the CDC's job to bring forward a resolution to the County Board so the Corporation Council can review the issue from an ordinance standpoint not a disorderly conduct standpoint as the District Attorney would be involved. General discussion and statement by Norton- Bauman that she feels we won't get an opinion until there is an arrest. Shearer disagreed and thinks someone may push the issue sooner than later. Motion by Marzolf, 2 nd by Shearer to table until the CDC can invite the Corporation Council and District Attorney to be present at a future meeting during which they can be called upon for advice. Yes: Marzolf, Hermsen, Shearer, Stauffer, Ruetz. No: Norton - Bauman. Motion carried. General discussion about making sure Corporation Council and District Attorney are both present the next time this issue is discussed so that the CDC can make an informed decision. Motion amended by Marzolf, 2 by Ruetz to add the following language: request the simultaneous presence of the Corporation Counsel and District Attorney at a future date and that they have agreed to attend. Yes: Marzolf, Hermsen, Shearer, Stauffer, Ruetz. No: Norton - Bauman. Amendment to motion carried. 3 Discussion on County Board Strategic Planning: Kling asked for clarity and for departments to provide 3 -4 top priorities and goals and some measure of them. One and a half year horizon should be used for goals. Extension has come up with some items and will discuss it at our next staff meeting. July meeting we will share it and bring to County Board after that time. Dave discussed it with staff as well and it coincides with budget timeline. Goals & business responsibility will tie together. He plans to bring them both together next month. Parks /Land & Water does a year plan so this will be an opportunity to revise what we do to share locally. Register of Deeds has some projects that can become the department goals. Committee will review and react to the priorities of the departments.
