The Board set the next meeting date to be June 26, 1997. The
starting time will be dependent on the number of applicants.
OLD BUSINESS
Chairman Bradley noted that some of the same names appear on the
agenda quite frequently. He asked for an update by the zoning
office.
David Dacquisto, Zoning Director, explained to the Board that Tom
Nelson was to be here today to update them on the old business, but
since he was unable to attend, David will give them the information
he received from Tom.
James Meyer: There is a violation of the septic on the house and
business building. They also need to rezone to commercial and then
appear before the Board of Adjustment to get special exception for
the business. Tom will give the Board more information on this
file next month.
Ken and Barbara Zak
Dacquisto explained that zoning has now received new plans from the
Zaks for their project. This plan includes the 40 foot setback
that was required.
Ken and Barbara Zak, being duly sworn, state that they are the
property owners. They have with them the new plans. The following
exhibits were introduced:
Exhibit 1: Revised Site Grading/ Erosion Control & Drainage Plan

appreciates the cooperation
The Board will make a decision later today
John Bettendorf
Greg Timmerman, Corporation Counsel, joined the meeting at this
time. Chairman Bradley asked him to update them on Bettendorf.
Timmerman explained that the violation has been going on for 8
months. Bettendorf has now filed papers for rezoning with the
zoning office. Timmerman stated that this will impact the court
case and we will now have to wait until the rezoning is done to
move forward.
Chairman Bradley stated that action on this case has moved very
slow due to the fact that Timmerman has not been given the
I
nformation that was needed to proceed.
Gary Sukowatey
Greg Timmerman said that Sukowatey is now looking at clearing this
up and that there is presently a suit on this file. Tom Nelson,
Zoning Specialist, has set up a meeting with Sukowatey's lawyer on
June 16th, but the attorney will not be available. Nelson will
I the attorney that he will go ahead and do an inspection
anyway and will get information on this to Corp Counsel.
Herman Heinbuch
Chairman Bradley asked Timmerman to speak on his behalf on the
Heinbuch matter that is coming up this morning. Timmerman noted
Chairman Bradley's daughter is a lawyer in the firm that is
representing the Heinbuchs and Chairman Bradley has chosen to
abstain from this case.
John and Michelle Mortel
John and Michelle Mortel, being duly sworn, state that they are the
owners of the property and their address is 994 230th St., Baldwin,
Wisconsin. John gave an update on the plans they have for their
addition. They will be adding a bedroom, a bathroom, a laundry
facility and a garage. They are requesting a variance for the
addition to the home. The house will not be any closer to road.
They stated that the road is not heavily traveled. John said that
the home was built in 1968 and the legal setback was then 125 feet.
The following exhibit was introduced:
Exhibit 1: Letter to the Zoning office from the Mortel's with
attachments.
Chairman Bradley said that the Board always looks for a hardship
and he believes that they have provided this information. Golz
asked if they have explored moving the garage back. Mortel's
explained that they cannot do this as they have a slope to the west
that would interfere with the building. It would also not allow
them a big enough area to put in a handicapped accessible entry
way.
Chairman Bradley stated that their documentation was very good and
the reason they postponed this last month was because it was a non-
conforming home and they needed more information. They will make a
decision later today.
Ken Klanderman, being duly sworn, states that his address is 2309
County E, Baldwin, Wisconsin. He lives across the road from
Mortels and supports the addition to their home. He is also the
Town Clerk for the Town of Baldwin and stated that the Town also
supports this application. He noted that the home was conforming
when it was built.
Michael Madden and Sharri Kinkead
Michael Madden and Sharri Kinkead, being duly sworn, state that
they are the owners of the property and their address is 444 County
Road F, Hudson, Wisconsin. They sent a letter to the zoning office
on May 5, 1997 stating their reasons for requesting a variance and
the Board has received copies. This letter, with attachments, was
labeled as Exhibit 1. 6a
aop
Chairman Bradley stated that he is not sure ther'y can grant this
variance for convenience and the ordinance does not deal kindly
with non -conforming homes.
Madden stated that the home dates back to the early 1900's. They
are not adding on to the part of the home that is nearest .
They want to remove the porch and replace with a room. The east
side is 97 1/2 feet from the road and that is how far the new room
would be from the road. They want to enlarge the interior space of
their home as it is too small to accommodate their family when they
visit (6 adult children and 12 grandchildren). They want the
addition where the current porch is. The addition would also have
structural work done under the house. The cost of this project
will be approximately $50,000.00. The home is worth about
$200,000.00 Madden stated that they have received a letter of
support from the Y Camp and Jim Woodruff.
Madden explained that the edge of the home closest to the road is
86 feetThe ordinance setback is 100 feet from the right of way.
.
He said that because of the dormers on the home, it would be hard
to build any other way. The house is 2800 square feet total. Most
of the rooms are small inside, but a very large master bedroom was
added before they bought the home.
again today and
Chairman Bradley stated that they may view the home
then render a decision.
Richard Forrest
Amy Forrest, being duly sworn, states that her address is 1760
190th Street, New Richmond, Wisconsin and that she is the daughter
of Richard Forrest. She is here today to represent her father in
this matter.
David Dacquisto updated the Board on this file saying that this is
a request for grading and filling and that there were two people
applying for this permit. The Board approved Dean Hansen's request
last month and postponed a decision on the Forrest's request as
they needed DNR approval. Amy Forrest told the Board that they now
have this approval and was entered as an exhibit as follows:
Exhibit 1: DNR permit for project.
The Board will make a decision later today.
Steve T�liclsea�hauser
Steve Wickenhauser, being duly sworn, states his address to be
2055 County Road C, New Richmond, Wisconsin. Chairman Bradley told
Wickenhauser that they need to see a waste management plan and
signed documentation or the Board may deny his application.
Wickenhauser explained that he has been meeting with people on this
project. He has met with Bob Heise and Greg Kerr and has gotten
more land signed up in leases. He will be meeting with Bob Heise
again today to work on manure management plan. He is meeting with
Tiery Engineering also.
The following exhibits were introduced:
Exhibit 1: Site plan of barn and stalls
Exhibit 2: Site plan of Bunkers and silage pit

Chairman Bradley told Wickenhauser that received minutes
from the Town of Star Prairie and statflAhat Fridays will not
be delivering to his farm until his problems are solved. Chairman
Bradley also stated that last month, under oath, Wickenhauser
stated that he had 130 to 140 cows on his farm. When the Board
visited the farm, they counted 240+ cows. This did not sit well
with the members of the Board.
A question was raised on now many wells he has drilled.
Wickenhauser stated that he has drilled three new wells, but have
not found nitrates in any of them. He explained that he has gotten
a letter from David Dacquisto, Zoning Director, listing six items
that need to be completed. He has been through the list and said
that four are completed and is working on the other two.
Wickenhauser explained that the number of cows fluctuates as they
are moved around a lot. The Town Board has asked him to find
another farm to spread on and he has gotten 160 acres more land.
He also stated that he is now looking at getting a permit for 350
animal units, not 500 as previously stated. If he goes with the
350 animal units, he is still 50 acres short and right now is
looking at another farm to rent.
He is getting the T-value information today and is looking at a 30
Jay holding pit.
Filipiak asked where he feels he is headed with all of this.
Wickenhauser answered that after today, he will have things wrapped
up better than he does now. Wickenhauser stated that with
subdivisions moving into the area, this has really changed things
for him. He is looking at this very closely and the operation he
is proposing is a major investment. He needs to go back to the
town for their approval. Wickenhauser feels that he should have
everything ready to go next month.
Filipiak responded by saying that it would be a lot easier if
Wickenhauser would have gotten his plans together and applied for
the permit before he appeared before the Board of Adjustments.
David Dacquisto said that he has met with Wickenhauser and Ken
Night and they have told him how many animal units he needs to
apply for.
Bob Heise, being duly sworn, is with St. Croix County Land
Conservation. His understanding from last month was that they had
30 days to come up with a plan. He explained that he met with Greg
Kerr and Wickenhauser right after the last meeting and told
Wickenhauser they needed information from him right away.
Wickenhauser did not contact Heise again until last week.
Heise also stated that Wickenhauser has met with Tiery Engineering
and that there are no plans in the works. Heise feels that the
plan is no further along than before.
The Board will make a decision later today.
Herman Heinbuch
Chairman Bradley will abstain from this matter, and will not
discuss this matter with any members of the Board. Vice Chairman
Filipiak will take over this hearing.
David Dacquisto explained that Tom has been working on this file
and that he has received all of the information on the following
requests:
1) Septic needs to be expanded
2) Proposed survey sent to our office to be done as a CSM
3) Road needs to be brought up to county standards
4) Plantings need to be done and a plan has been submitted
5) All junk has been removed
6) One well can be used for two dwellings
Catherine Ouiggle, Herman and Delores Heinbuch, being duly sworn,
stated the following: Quiggle is the attorney representing
Heinbuchs and is with the firm of Rodli, Beskar, Boles and Krueger,
219 N. Main Street, River Falls, Wisconsin. Herman and Delores
Heinbuch are the owners of the property and state their address as
being 1624 County Road Z. Hammond, Wisconsin. Catherine Quiggle
started out by stating the Heinbuchs were given a list of
conditions to meet before coming back to the board.
The following exhibits were introduced:
Exhibit 1: Survey of Heinbuch property sent to Zoning on May
8th from Rodli, Beskar, Boles and Krueger with
attachments. Was asked to update septic system and
has provided copies to zoning on this.
Exhibit 2: Septic information showing plan for each duplex
Exhibit 3: Plans for mound system.
Quiggle stated that both duplexes have septic
plans. The driveway to be upgraded up to first
duplex and to meet county standards on the part
that is shared.
Visual screening - they will plant whatever is
recommended. High bred poplars will be used.
Exhibits continued:
Exhibit 4: Four photos of property showing clean up project.
Quiggle stated that Heinbuchs have gone to the town
board and town feels that Heinbuchs need to comply
with ordinance. Quiggle feels that it is good to
make sure people are in compliance and the
Heinbuchs want to do what it takes to comply with
the ordinance.
Exhibit 5: Letter from Ed Vlack, attorney for Pleasant Valley.
Quiggle went over the phone survey included with attorney Vlack's
letter. She asked the Board not to put much credence on this
survey as the Heinbuchs are in compliance with the ordinance and
also stated that 35% of people responding to survey felt that
duplexes are alright for this area.
Quiggle stated that the first duplex was put in 4 years ago and put
in as a single family dwelling, then changed to a duplex without
realizing he had to get a permit. Heinbuch stated that there are
several duplexes in Pleasant Valley. Delores Heinbuch stated that
according to the DNR, one well can serve 7 homes.
Exhibit 6: Letter from Catherine Quiggle, attorney for Heinbuchs.
The Board will view the site later today.

John Bradley, Chairman
St. Croix County Board of Adjustment
Susan Grant
This is a request for a temporary occupancy permit. The following
exhibits were introduced:
Exhibit 1: Letter from Town of Warren approving request.
Exhibit 2; Warranty Deed of property
Exhibit 3: Site plan of property
Susan Grant, being duly sworn, states her address to be 1184 114th
Ave., Roberts, Wisconsin. She 1s the owner of the property which
consists of 27 acres. They are tearing down a home and putting up
a new one. They have lived there approximately 13 years. The Town
of Warren has approved this permit for 6 months. Dacquisto read
the letter from the Town of Warren into the record.
Grant is asking for a temporary occupancy in a trailer until the
new home is built. They will be using the current septic system.
The Board will visit the site today.
David and Danielle Langer
This is a request for a 15 foot variance. David Dacquisto, Zoning
Director, introduced the following exhibits:
Exhibit l: Letter from the Town of Warren to approve request
with conditions.
Exhibit 2: Site plan
Exhibit 3: CSM of property
Exhibit 4: Copy of Deed
David Langer, being duly sworn, states that his address is 808 1st
St., Hudson, Wisconsinerty
and that he is the owner of the prop.
He introduced the following exhibit:
Exhibit 5: Letter from Bob Sievert, a neighbor supporting the
application. Sievert's land joins Langer's
Langer has owned the property for 2 1/2 years. The lot was created
about 15 years ago. He explained how the lot is laid out. Right
behind the lot is a very steep hill. According to the excavators,
the place they have chosen is the best place to put a house on the
lot. There is also a drainage ditch on the land that they are
trying to avoid. They have put in their driveway, and this also
avoids the drainage ditch.
Chairman Bradley asked Langer if the hardship is that this is the
only place to build the house and he answered that it is. The home
will be 30' by 401. Bob Sievert will look into a quit claim deed
for this property if needed, but would rather not do this.
In looking at the site plan, it was noted by Dacquisto that the
garage is really what they need the variance for, and that the rest
of the house is all within code. Langer explained that they only
need the variance for the corner of the garage.
The Board will visit the site today.
David and Deena Peper

Peper explained that the house was probably built in the 1920's.
They have had water coming into the basement and thought that
putting a porch on would help the problem. He explained that there
is a concrete slab there that has settled and would like to put the
porch over the top of this slab and extend the porch around to the
door. The cost will be about $1,700.00.
The Board will visit the site today.

ehab District. Chairman Bradley asked him to explain the project.
R
Firing explained that this is to stabilize the lake level. 12
homes have been flooded and 24 are in danger.
They are planning on pumping out about 2 feet of surface water.
This will happen at a rate of 2,000 gallons/minute, or 2 million
gallons per day. This will remove approximately 1/8 inch of surface
water per day. This will be monitored electronically. They will
use a 60 horse submergible well to pump and run on off peak
electricity, about 15 hours a day.
They have authorized a flood mitigation plan for this project.
Firing noted that the county does not have a flood mitigation plan.
Firing also explained that they are not pumping into the trout
stream as was thought by some. They will be above that. They will
cascade water across rip rap into the river and into the fishery.
The end of the pipeline is capped, so fish cannot get in the pipe.
This area will also be marked by buoys. They plan to lay the pipe
using a trencher. The pipe will be on the lake bottom and water
pumped out through a well through Orf and Railsback property to the
river.
The following exhibits were introduced:
Exhibit 8: Bass Lake Rehab outlet project plan dated 4/20/97.
Exhibit 9: Contract documents - statement of records of

Minnesota and that he is here representing Kellison company.
Zehm explained that Harley Davidson is a growing company and they
are asking all dealers to expand. Zehm has hired Kellison Company
to draw up the plans. Vanasse told the Board that they have state
approved plans. He said that Harley Davidson wants all the
buildings to look somewhat the same and he assured the Board that
this would be a nice looking building and will fit in with the
area. Harley Davidson is requiring that Zehm have a 14,000 square
foot building, including a 7200 square foot showroom. This
building has been there since 1982.
Vanasse showed the Board the plans of the building and that they
will be adding on to the south and explained what they will be
doing. The plans are at Harley Davidson right now for approval.
Vanasse said that they found out yesterday that the existing septic
needs to be reviewed, and will look into that.

Exhibits introduced:

system.
Vanasse explained that setbacks are no problem as they are not
building any closer to the road. The existing parking lot is paved
and they will pave the new parking lot.
Filipiak asked if we have copies of the state approved plans.
Vanasse indicated that we do not and Filipiak asked them to send a
copy to Zoning. Vanasse will do this. He also noted that the
state has approved the right of ways.
Zehm said that they now have 20 full time and 3 part time employees
and anticipate adding 3 more.
