past few months.
Planning and Zoning Business:
Bills and Revenue - The March 2008 Planning Bills and Revenue Reports and the March 2008
Zoning Bills and Revenue Reports were reviewed by the Committee and signed by Chair Habhegger.
Personnel Update - Fodroczi announced that Dan Sitz was hired as the new Code Enforcement
Technician. He is a graduate of UW -River Falls in land use planning and agronomy. He
previously worked for Stevens Engineers and interned with Pierce County Land and Water and
with an environmental firm in Spring Valley. There were many good candidates for the position
with three or four who were very well qualified. Sitz will begin duties on April 14.
Office Remodeling - Fodroczi reported that Art Tobin is working with Corporate Express on
inventorying materials to determine what is still needed to finish the remodeling. The estimated
cost should be $20,000 - $22,000. More than that amount has already been realized in savings
from personnel vacancies. The layout and materials are already accounted for. The final cost
will be determined soon and will be brought to this committee and the Finance Committee for
approval.
Planning Report — Denzer reported that the Town of Star Prairie will be holding its Land Use
Alternatives Workshops on April 29 and May 1 instead of late March as originally planned. She
has contracted with Town of Stanton on developing its driveway and subdivision ordinance.
Fodroczi reported that an announcement of the comprehensive planning grant awards was
expected by now. He contacted Regional Planning and found that the awards have not been
announced. The Department of Administration has finished its process and sent
recommendations to the Governor's Office. An announcement and press release from the
Governor's Office is expected soon.
Code Administration Report - Grabau reported that the staff is keeping the code enforcement
issues up to date in preparation for the new code enforcement staff person. POWTS work is
slow at this time. Code Administration staff members will attend an erosion control and
inspector workshop on April 10 in Baldwin presented by Land and Water Department. A public
hearing was held for Eric Larson in the Town of Hammond where his request to rezone property
from Agricultural to Commercial was approved. It was then approved by County Board.
Grabau found a clerical error in the ordinance amendment. He consulted with Greg Timmerman
about how this could be corrected. Grabau presented a revised amendment. Committee
members agreed to the correction and signed the revised amendment for County Board action.
Shoreland Zoning Revisions — Grabau distributed a summary of filling and grading
requirements comparing shoreland and general ordinances. Staff has met regarding these
changes. The two ordinances should be consistent. There are differences in the current
ordinances. The purpose is to protect bodies of water. Habhegger recommended monitoring the
Cottonwood South Subdivision regarding how much disturbance will be on each lot. Discussion
on concern with the provision regarding 10,000 square feet of disturbance within 1,000 feet of
the ordinary high water mark. Staff has reviewed but made no conclusion. Fodroczi emphasized
the need to have consistency with no gaps in provisions. He expressed concern about costs to
taxpayers and whether some provisions are actually needed. Are special exception permits
needed? He stated that the outcome will have no major changes.
Land Information Report — Budrow reported that Real Property is beginning to process City of
Hudson changes for 2008 file and splits for 2008 with current staff in place. There are still
questions remaining regarding printing notices of assessment. He is working on an
intergovernmental project with National Park Service to map scenic easements in the St. Croix
National Scenic Riverway.
