OLD AND NEW BUSINESS
St. Croix Nutrient Management Farmer Education Grant Program: No Committee discussion
or action. Chair Hermsen signed the necessary grant documents.
Review Recycling Ordinance: Committee and staff discussed two remaining wording issues from
previous meetings. Denzer reported that staff had reviewed the use of the term "business" in the
ordinance and recommended removing the term from the definitions to eliminate confusion.
Committee discussed and agreed. Denzer then reviewed possible exception language for burning
non - recyclable paper and cardboard. She also reported on feedback on questions about toxic hazards
of burning trash from a Wisconsin Department of Health Services toxicologist. Committee
discussed and agreed not to further revise the draft ordinance language. Motion by Marzolf, 2nd by
Norton - Baumann to forward the current draft of the ordinance for legal review prior to scheduling a
public hearing. Motion carried.
Zoning Ordinance Amendments for Kennels: Fodroczi and Grabau presented and discussed
handouts on suggested changes to the kennel provisions in the Zoning Ordinance. Suggested
changes included new definitions for private kennel and commercial kennel, new general standards
for all commercial kennels, and suggested listings for kennels as permitted uses or special
exceptions in the various zoning districts. Staff also presented a summary of related kennel
provisions from several current county zoning ordinances from throughout Wisconsin and other
states. Discussion. Motion by Marzolf, 2nd by Shearer to approve the suggested changes and have
staff prepare them as formal ordinance amendments. Norton - Baumann expressed concerns that the
proposed setback standard of 150 feet was not adequate. Marzolf also thought the provisions could
be clarified for how they apply to puppies and litters. Further discussion. Marzolf and Shearer
withdrew their motion and second. Committee directed staff to use the suggested changes to draft
the ordinance amendments for Committee review, and the outstanding issues could be further
discussed when presented.
