REVIEW OF PREVIOUS MINUTES:
Gary Sukowatey
Nelson indicated that a Summons and Complaint had been drafted and
would shortly be signed. This matter will be proceeding to court.
Troy and Gayle Strawn
Nelson indicated that the Board would view the site from last
month's hearing and render a decision later this date.
UNFINISHED BUSINESS:
Jeff Lauck
Nelson indicated that last month the Board did not approve this
application. It needed some additional information such as a
better site plan, the negd to identify the parking areas, right-of-
way line, information concerning the septic system and code
compliancy on the building itself. Nelson stated that he has
received information only on the site plan and that Lauck was to be
bringing information with him concerning the building.
Jeff Lauck, being previously sworn, stated that he brought with him
a new site plan which was a little clearer. Introduced as Exhibit
#1 was the site plan identifying the property a little bit better,
Exhibit #2, copy of a sanitary permit and inspection sheet,
installed 11/19/80, Exhibit #3, hand drawn sketch of the building
with the proposed configuration of rooms in the building and their
services. Nelson questioned Lauck regarding the fire hydrant which
was installed. Nelson stated he believes the hydrant is too close
to the septic tank. There is a need for this to be moved. Lauck
stated they have no outside water. This was installed last August.
Lauck stated he talked with Jim Rusch, County Surveyor, who looked
up the road right-of-way. The minimum in spots was 50 feet and the
maximum was 100 feet. Lauck stated he has red flags that display
the 100 foot right-of-way out at the site. He doesn't want the
display parking to be any closer to the road. Lauck indicated on
Exhibit #1 the following: A, customer parking area; B, sales area
on the eastern side of the property; C, display area on the western
side of the property, where the old ball field is at.
Lauck went on to state that the 3 phase power is still hooked up
but is inoperable. NSP was notified to unhook it. There is no
power going to it. The ropes are gone, the motors have been
disconnected.
Lauck just does some repair to his own vehicles. The State
requires that if you have a license you must have a place for
vehicles to be pulled out of the rain for customers. Lauck has one
55 gallon drum of waste oil, the antifreeze he recycles. They have
a maximum of 55 gallons of new oil. Batteries they recycle, tires
they don't do anything with. They have no plans to make the
building bigger. Most vehicles will be for sale. Only a couple
are not for sale at this time. Bathrooms will be operational.
Vice Chairman Dorsey indicated that the Board would view the site
and render a decision later this date.
Martin LeVake/Levque Towers
Nelson indicated that this was a request for a tower which was
before the Board several months ago. The decision had been
postponed pending State and Federal permits being obtained. To
date, Mr..LeVake has not gotten State approval.
Vice Chairman Dorsey noted Chuck Mehls presence at the meeting at
8:56 a.m.
Zoning Administrator Nelson introduced Exhibit #1, a packet of
information consisting of 6 pages; Exhibit #2, 2 photographs
showing small portable buildings which they are proposing to put on
the property; Exhibit ##3, file folder consisting of a number of
pages, labeled A-110655, LeVque Tower Company.
Martin LeVake, being previously sworn, indicated that he represents
Levque Tower Systems. LeVake indicated that the consulting
engineers in Madison get over 200 plans a year to approve so LeVake
hired Scott Nordin, who is a professional registered engineer in
the State of Wisconsin, to view his plans. The factory gets the
approval from Nordin, he fills out an application. LeVake sent 4
books to Nordin. Each one had to be signed by a Wisconsin
engineer. Nordin signs everything and sends the application to
Madison. They are then reviewed and Nordin consults with them and
then everyone signs off on the project stating it is a safe
structure. Nordin will inspect the footings and the base of the
tower. LeVake indicated that he paid $250 to the State for the
permit. He has paid $600 to Nordin to look everything over. He
has to also pay Nordin to inspect the site but he doesn't know how
much it will cost as Nordin doesn't know now many times he will
have to go out there.
Zoning Administrator Nelson stated that LeVake had been to the
township for a building permit, which was not issued, which was
right. The Town Clerk called him concerning the new information of
the proposed building and indicated that this should come again
before the town board.
LeVake stated that the township is questioning whether or not they
have enough ground to put the tower on. The township claimed that
LeVake was to be at the site on a certain date and he was not told
that date. LeVake stated that the board members who were on the
township board at the time of his first proposal are no longer
there. He is anxious to get matters settled. They would like to
erect the: tower in May. LeVake indicated that the new buildings
haven't been shared with the town board, just the town chairman,
Quentin Weinzeral. He went on to state that the township has been
iffy on their decision all the way through.
Nelson indicated to LeVake that he needs to make sure the township
knows everything involved. He should go to the town board and then
come back before the Board of Adjustment with the State permits and
township approval. LeVake stated that he will be gone now and
won't be back until the first part of May but indicated that his
son could bring over the paperwork from the State and act on his
behalf as his agent. Nordin could also send the State information
directly to Nelson after approval. LeVake stated that Johnson
Construction would be building the form and pouring the concrete.
Vice Chairman indicated that this matter will be postponed until
next month's meeting pending review by the township and obtaining
of State permits.
NEW BUSINESS:
The hearing was called to order by Vice Chairman Dorsey. Nelson

John Bradley, Chairman
St. Croix County Board of Adjustment
Vice Chairman Dorsey introduced the other members of the Board as
being Tim piak, Charles Mehls and Jerry Neumann. Tom Nelson,
Zoning Administrator, was present to assist the Board with the
introduction of the materials as well as recommendations as to how
the ordinances applied. On call was the St. Croix County
Corporation Counsel's Office. Vice Chairman Dorsey explained the
procedures of the hearing requesting that individuals wishing to
testify sign their name in the front of the room on the sign up
sheet provided.
Ken Nelson/Orrin Summers
Nelson indicated that this matter was before the Board last month.
Due to confusion, withdrawing of the permit and then
reconsideration of the same, it is here again before the Board as
new business. It was published and people were notified.
Introduced last month as Exhibit #1 was a site plan; Exhibit #2,
Letter from Al Kraft; Exhibit #3, letter from Ken Nelson; Exhibit
#4, letter from Orrin Summers; Exhibit #5, letter from Al Kraft;
Exhibit #6, copy of a bill from Orken; Exhibit #7, series of
photographs of other residences; Exhibit #8, articles from Tribune;
Exhibit #9, map showing surface water runoff; Exhibit #10, series
A photographs of the Summers property. Vice Chairman Dorsey
indicated that the only property they would be dealing with today
would be Mr. Summers' property.
Orrin Summers, previously sworn, indicated that he has been sick
and hasn't been to the site since the last hearing. He indicated
that he did call Kadinger and after March 1st Kadinger will start
hauling vehicles away. Summers stated that the Town of Pleasant
Valley is close knit and prejudiced. Anyone that is an outsider
stays an outsider. He is not trying to do any less or any more
than anyone else is out there. Summers stated that he intends to
use the 10 pole building as his main building to work out of. He
has one vehicle out there that doesn't belong to him and his son
has a couple of chassis out there. He will not be taking anyone
elses vehicles. The shop is a metal building which has a wood
barrel stove in it. It was indicated to Mr. Summers that the Board
would make a decision later this date as to how many cars he could
have on the premises at one time. Summers stated that he would
abide by whatever decision the Board makes.
Donna Hauser, being duly sworn, stated that their place is kiddy
corner from Orrin Summers' place. Nothing against Orrin, but they
don't want him to have a salvage yard there. Her son runs Hauser
Auto Repair. If Orrin gets a commercial license to paint cars and
keeps it neat they would have no problem with it. Nelson indicated
that Orrin salvages vehicles and sells them. Donna Hauser inquired
why Orrin Summers didn't have to have a commercial license to fix
and sell cars like they do.
Mary Zwald, being duly sworn, stated she owns property to the west
of the property in question. Mrs. Zwald stated that Summers has
been there for 17 months. Things are just getting worse. She is
concerned with the drainage. The Parker Creek Water Shed Project
dumps into the Kinnickinnic. There are 2 culverts in place that go
under Highway N on their property that handle run off. There are
25 cars on the property at this time. What happens if the Board
okays this and Summers moves out there. They have 5 drivers now
with 8 cars. The house is right on Highway N. Two more kids will
be driving in the near future. There is just not enough room to
park out there for that many cars.
Orrin Summers, being duly sworn, stated that the issue here for the
Zwalds is that they had a chance to buy the rest of the property
and didn't. They would like to have this property now and wished
they would have bought it. Summers stated he has a land contract
for this property. Summers stated that Zwalds can't see what he is
doing from his house now.
Robert Zwald, previously sworn, stated he doesn't know where
Summers got the information that they wanted to buy this property.
If they would have known this would have happened they would have
bought it.
Vice Chairman Dorsey indicated that the Board would view the site
and render a decision later this date.
Wildwood View, Inc./Gerald Falde
Nelson indicated that this is a request for mini storage units.
This is not a permitted used but rather a special exception use.
This property was rezoned a couple months ago to commercial.
Nelson stated that to date he has not seen a copy of the State
approved plans and is inclined at this time not to give a
recommendation.
Jim Harper, being duly sworn, stated that he brought the State
approved plans with him.
Introduced as Exhibit #1 was a copy of the State approved plans
signed by Jack Miller showing a building setback of 150 feet from
the centerline of C.T.H. "B", a 42' x 121' mini storage warehouse.
Nelson stated that an all weather surface usually surrounds the
building. Jim Harper indicated that it is gravel. Nelson went on
to state that there are 24 individual storage units with 9' x 8'
roll up doors. The end units are 103�' x 21' while the middle units
are 10' x 211, page 2 is additional building details; Exhibit #2,
letter from the Town of Eau Galle.which supports this proposal.
Nelson indicated that the driveway meets the site distance. He
questioned security lighting. Harper indicated that they will be
putting up security lighting, one on each end of the building.
Hours of use will be 24 hours a day, presently. Harper stated that
the building site is roughly staked out at this time.
Vice Chairman Dorsey indicated that the Board would view the site
and render a decision later this date.
Kenneth W. and Mary M. Olson
Nelson indicated that this is a request for automotive sales in the
commercial district. This is not a permitted use in the commercial
district but rather a special exception use. Introduced as Exhibit
#1 was a site plan for the septic system; Exhibit #2, copy of CSM;
Exhibit #3, additional information; Exhibit ##4, 3 photos showing
various views of the property; Exhibit ##4, letter from the Town of
Star Prairie stating they have no objection to this application.
Mary Olson, being duly sworn, stated that on Exhibit #3 they have
a circle drive. They will have no more than 12 cars out there, 6
or less for customer cars. They will sell used cars and trucks, no
boats or RV's. They will have no solvents, no oils. They take the
vehicles to Quickie Lube. They will eventually be selling new
tires and will be changing tires on the site. They will then store
used tires only on a temporary basis. They have bathrooms in the
body shop.
Vice Chairman Dorsey indicated that the Board would view the site
and render a decision later this date.
'Leo and Chris Rohl/Rohl Limestone, Inc.
Nelson stated that this is a request for non-metallic mining. This
was on the agenda originally for last month but there wasn't
sufficient information at that time for it to be presented. Nelson
has since worked with the applicant. This is a request to expand
the original operation. This is not a permitted use but rather a
special exception use. Some of the things the Board has to look at
is the amount of area excavated, amount of material hauled away,
drainage area, reclamation, truck traffic and routes. Introduced
as Exhibit #1 was a photograph of the property which was taken 5 to
6 years ago as it looked at the time Rohls obtained their first
permit, which was taken off the tower; Exhibit #2, photograph of
the property as it looks now; Exhibit #3, general statements, how
the facility runs and basic reclamation procedures; Exhibit #4,
site plan with existing quarry and proposed quarry and direction of
water flows; Exhibit #5, site plan showing the top soil piles, fill
piles, storage of rock, areas of fill and top soil;- Exhibit #6,
enlarged topographic map identifying the wells on the property with
a well report dated October 19, 1972; Exhibit #7, site plan showing
the dimensions of the proposed quarry; Exhibit #8, cross section
addressed to question 5 of our ordinance; Exhibit #9, another
aerial photograph of the site in its present state; Exhibit #10,
statement of real property taxes; Exhibit #11, aerial photograph
showing the site, ASCS photo; Exhibit #12, Application for Standby
Letter of Credit in the amount of $25,000.00. Nelson stated that
the older part of the pit needs to be reclaimed yet. The older pit
is needed for storage and moving of vehicles. It will be reclaimed
and put back into pasture or home sites in the distant future.
Chris Rohl, being duly sworn, stated they will be doing an
expansion of the existing pit. As far as a time frame, they are
about out of land and their time frame was almost up. That is why
they are here to add on 10 to 12 acres. The bond covers anything
not reclaimed and also the 10 to 12 extra acres. On Exhibit #9,
marked as "A" in the lower right hand corner of the photograph, is
a different route which they will be taking into the quarry. This
will enable them to start reclaiming the older part of the quarry.
They built a road with a retention area for storm run off. Marked
on Exhibit #2, which shows the situation much better and where the
following will be located was: "A", road; "B", scale; "C", more
stock pile area and work area; "D", where stockpile is located at
now. They will be moving "D"'s material to "C"'s area and will be
reclaiming "D"'s area. In Exhibit #8 they will be knocking the
walls down and reclaiming them to their proper slopes. Rohl
indicated that the slopes will be gentler than 2 to 1 slopes as
they have a lot of overburn. "E" is the hayfield where the 10 to 12
acres is where they will be going to. Robinson's house is located
north and- east of the pit. Crushing will not take place on
Saturdays unless the Robinsons are notified first. Rohl stated
that when the crushers are there its push, push, push. In the past
they have notified the property owners of the blasting. They
usually start calling them l� hours before blasting. Tom Nelson
suggested that they should notify people a day or so ahead of time
of the blast. Rohl stated that the property adjoining will be
further away from the neighbors than before in the recent past.
Tom Nelson indicated that there is new legislation, NR 143, which
states that they will be reviewing mining permits on an annual
basis. Rohl's Letter of Credit is only good for a year or so until
it needs to be renewed. Rohl stated that there is some possibility
they could sell some clay out of the quarry. He is concerned as to
how much clay is actually there. Before this could happen though,
the DNR has to do an on -site test as well as other tests need to be
done. They usually have around 2 employees on the site. They hire
the crushing, drilling and blasting done. There is no satellite on
the site. They utilize Martha Rohl's bathroom, which is close by.
Rohl indicated that there was a well on the old site, which was
about 90 feet deep that was filled in. On Exhibit ##6 it shows
where the wells are located. "B" is an operational well. The
water source is not plumbed to any house; "C" is Robinson's well
which is about 197 feet deep; "D" is Martha Rohl's well, across
C.T.H. "U" and Coulee Trail intersection. They pump water out of
area "B" for dust control. Other than from the Robinsons, they
haven't heard of any other dust complaints until today. Rohl
indicated that 950 of their truck traffic goes north or south on
C.T.H. "U" to another county road or State highway. Their hours of
operation are 6:00 a.m./6:30 a.m until 4:30 p.m. When the crusher
is there they have longer hours. As far as land use in the future,
they may be.putting a fence around it for cattle. They store no
chemicals or solvents there. They did store some explosives in
steel boxes last time. They have a fuel truck there with 1200
gallons of fuel capacity. They generally do not work on Saturdays
but if they do the hours are generally the same as week days. On
Sundays, the crusher will weld if need be or at night during the
week but otherwise nothing else runs that he can remember from in
the past. They have had no problem with the quarry being a party
site. Years ago they did but they made the ditches impassible and
they keep the gate up. They did have problems with people driving
around the gate but they dug ditches around the gate to make it
I also. Nelson indicated that he had recently talked with
Gary Seen who owns the property immediately south of this property.
His greatest concern was noted at the time the first permit was
issued. With the storm water run off being corrected, he is now
happy with how the operation is being run. Introduced as Exhibit
##13 was a letter from the Town of Troy recommending approval of
this application.
Vice Chairman Dorsey indicated that the Board would view the site
and render a decision later this date.
Harold D. Morrow
Nelson indicated that this is a request for a trucking terminal.
Introduced as Exhibit ##1 was a letter from the Town of Troy
recommending approval of the application with the following
conditions: No trucks are to be left running overnight; limiting
the size to 5 acres; no hazardous materials are to be stored either
in the trucks or on the property; other than the normal materials
used in the trucks and that they be disposed of properly; to
Vice Chairman Dorsey indicated that the Board would view the site
and render a decision later this date.
Anderson Excavating,
Nelson indicated that this is a request for a setback from a Class
B Road of 70 feet from the centerline of Highway 12. A new
building will be constructed, 30' x 40'. The existing building
will be demolished. The proposed building will be 15 feet from the
side yard and 20 feet from the rear yard. Introduced as Exhibit #1
was a site plan; Exhibit #2, correspondence from the Town of
Baldwin recommending approval of this application.
Robert Anderson, being duly sworn, stated that the old building is
in bad shape. This was an old school building which was moved
there in 1958. They will be demolishing this and then putting up
a new building along side the existing shop. Introduced as Exhibit
#3 was a series of 4 photographs, labeled A - D. Anderson stated
that the old building's ceiling is in bad shape and they are afraid
it will fall down on the equipment that is stored in there now.
This new building will be for cold storage only. Two graders and
2 dump trucks will be stored there. No repair work will be done
and there is no need for an office in this building. They have an
old furnace barrel there for used oil, which they recycle. They
recycle their batteries and they store their tires inside the
building. At the present time they park their personal vehicles in
front of the building. There will be no problem with parking in
front of the new building even though -it will be closer to the
road.
Vice Chairman Dorsey indicated that the Board would view the site
and render a decision later this date.

blacktop the driveway 100 feet off the main road; Exhibit #2, copy
of a conventional soil absorption system for a truck garage which
the Zoning Office has not received State approval yet; Exhibit #3,
correspondence from DILHR which indicates that the in -ground
pressure system has been approved; Exhibit #4, set of construction
plans, conditionally approved by DILHR which shows a 220' setback
from the center of Highway 35. This is for a 60' x 104' structure.
There is 1 accessible parking space for the handicapped; Exhibit
#5, correspondence from DILHR conditionally approving the building
plans with stipulations of additional requirements.
Harold D. Morrow, being duly sworn, stated that the height of the
building is 26' tall. They have 9 trucks at the present time. He
indicated that he doesn't want any trucks on the property that he
can't use. They do some work with the City of Minneapolis, hauling
and spreading waste for surrounding areas. In 3 to 4 years they
would like to possibly have 25 trucks. They can put 4 semi trucks
in the building at one time. They have been in the business
approximately 3 years. Earlier they were hauling for their own
farm use. He'stated that he would be happy with having 15 trucks
on the site at one time. They haven't done maintenance on the
trucks up to this date. GTI and Peterbuilt in South St. Paul have
been doing it. They will be, -making the proper arrangements for
getting rid of the oils. As far as washing the trucks, they would
like to be able to do this outside. Nelson indicated that some
places have a special area for washing the trucks and then the
water is hauled to another location for dumping into a sealed
vault. Morrow stated that there is a drain there now for run off
from snow melting from the trucks.
Vice Chairman Dorsey indicated that the Board would view the site
and render a decision later this date.
Donovan H. Johnson
Nelson indicated that this is a request fqr a setback for a
building from a Class B Road. This is an after -the -fact variance

centerline of Highway 12. Introduced as Exhibit #1 was a site
plan; Exhibit #2, second drawing of how the structure is going to
Look; Exhibit #3, building permit dated 10/6/94 to Donavon Johnson
by Brian Wert; Exhibit #4, letter from the Town of Warren
recommending approval of the garage setback variance. Nelson
indicated that the building permit was issued in error by the
deputy zoning administrator who knows now that there is a need for
a variance when it doesn't meet the setback requirements.
Donovan Johnson, being duly sworn, indicated that the garage is
complete. It is sheet rocked, insulated, everything. He owns 1;�
acres of land. The other spot to put the garage, he would have had
to move his driveway. He wouldn't have built the garage if he
would have had to build it in the alternate location. There is a
concrete floor.
5. All repairs and new construction must meet the State
commercial building codes.
