Motion by Oemichen, seconded by Raymond to approve the previous months minutes. Motion carried. The next meeting date was confirmed for February 28th and subsequently moved to February 21st due to staff conflicts.

Motion by Raymond, seconded by Oemichen w approve the Parks bills. Motion carried. Woodville Trail Larson reported that Grant received a letter requesting an easement on the Woodville Trail to bury fiber optic cables to serve the new subdivision in the Village of Woodville. The Committee agreed to turn this over to Corporation Counsel for review and if this is satisfactory to him, the Committee would be in favor of the easement. Motion by Raymond, seconded by Oemichen to have Corporation Counsel review this matter. Motion carried. Larson distributed a copy of a letter Grant received from Alan Stene of the Woodville Trail Committee requesting better maintenance of the Woodville Trail and a letter of response from Grant, which was copied to Art Jacobson. Larson then distributed a copy of a letter Grant sent to Dan Fedderly at the Highway Department requesting the Highway Department consider adding the Woodville Trail to their countywide bicycle route analysis study and a response letter from Fedderly. Fedderly's letter stated that they would consider this but not to the extent of the request but would do a general overview of the trail. Chairperson Dorsey stated that the Committee is interested in doing something with the trail but there are not funds available for a project like this at this time. Perch Lake Larson reported that he and Grant did a review of the Seim's property and found that there is a problem accessing the property from the main road. With the help of a visual aid of a map of the property Larson it showed a possible road site into the property. He noted that additional property would need to be purchased for an easement for a road. Denzer distributed a copy of funding possibilities for the project which included DNR Land Acquisition Funding, Lake Management Protection Grant and appraisal costs. Larson noted that after their review of the property it was determined that improvements would be extensive and costly before it would be available to the public as a County owned park. The Committee agreed that Grant should report back to the Committee with any additional information he may get. Snowmobile Report Larson noted that the trails are closed and no grooming has been done this year. Park Manager's Report Larson reported that the aerators at Pine Lake are doing a fine job, better than expected. The oxygen content is higher than in the summer time. He further noted that the electric costs will be higher than planned. 10:00 A.M. HEARINGS No notice was read for either hearing because they are both continuations of previous hearings. Chairperson Dorsey explained that only written testimony was allowed for these hearings and the Committee will view the property during the lunch break and may or may not make a decision later in the day. Town of St. Joseph Map Nelson reviewed the many phone calls regarding this issue and many written documents received by the Zoning Office regarding this hearing for the Town of St. Joseph Zoning Map. The hearing was recessed until after the Committee viewed the property during the lunch break and will then recommend that Corporation Counsel review all the information, written documentation and make a determination of what map should be used for the property. Delbert Sin�erhouse Rezonement Nelson reviewed the written documentation he had received on this issue. He noted that most of the correspondence is in support of the rezonement. Oemichen commented on the four main issues the Committee needs to address prior to making a decision on this property. First, depending on how many homes are going on the property, ask DILHR what impact that many wells would have on the groundwater. Second, someone from the WI Department of Agricultural Trade Consumer Protection respond to the question to the status of the Farmland Preservation Program and when and whether the Town of Troy would loose its certification due to this and future ag land rezoning. Thirdly, ask the Highway Department to do an analysis on the capability of area roads, particularly Town roads to handle the traffic from the proposed subdivision, looking at safety concerns the residents have. Also ask the Troy Town Board whether their projected road changes as noted in a letter from Dean Albert of the Troy Town Board. Chairperson Dorsey stated that all of the information be in the Zoning Office by February 22nd on the issues Oemichen stated, to be reviewed at the Planning & Development Committee meeting February 28th and to possibly make a decision. Chairperson Dorsey further stated that he and the rest of the Committee want to commend the people from the Town of Troy and their cooperation and that the Committee is looking forward to a good working relationship in the future in this and other matters. 2 As presented by Mary Jenkins and Brian Hailing: Five minor subdivisions were acted on as seen in Attachment A. Rose Survey Nelson explains that this is an issue of a driveway too close to an existing driveway. Jenkins noted that when the map was approved, the Town gave conditional approval that a joint driveway be utilized. After further discussion, the Committee agreed to view the property during the lunch break while viewing the other properties. Deputy Zoning Administrator Nelson noted that there were a series of meetings in the past few years in which the Deputy Zoning Administrators and Town Chairpersons were asked to attend. These meetings dealt with "how to review a permit and how to grant a permit". The attendance was quite low at these sessions. Greg Timmerman has expressed a concern for the liability of the County when the Town Deputy Zoning Administrator does not administer the ordinance as it is required. There have been suggestion of revoking the Towns authority to issue permits or possibly having the Town sign a indemnification agreement whereby the Towns liable for the improper decisions. The Committee recessed at 11:35 a.m. for lunch and reconvened at 2:30 p.m. ZONING BUSINESS Bills, Invoices &Invoices Motion by Oemichen, seconded by Raymond to approve the Zoning bills totalling $3,583.63.

Motion carried. 3 Abandoned Railroad Strips Jenkins furnished committee members with a summary of information regarding an abandoned railroad strip running through several sections of the Town. When a portion of the property was conveyed, the Real Property Lister's Office questioned whether a certified survey map was required. For taxation purposes, the strip is considered one parcel, however the subdivision ordinance considers it separate parcels when divided by public roads and property lines. The committee agreed that it was not necessary to amend the ordinance because of the concerns on the transaction that took place.

Motion carried. County Development Management Plan Corporation Counsel Greg Timmerman joined the meeting to explain why certain members of the County Board and respectful committees cannot be on the steering committee. After lengthy discussion the Committee agreed that no member of the Board of Adjustment can be on the steering committee and that Jack Breault, County Board Supervisor and City of Hudson Mayor would be asked to be on the steering committee in place of County Board Supervisor John Bradley. The Committee then determined that Tom Dorsey would chair the steering committee. The names of the members of the steering committee will be given to County Board Chairperson Bob Boche by February loth and a meeting of the steering committee will be held February 21st at 4:00 p.m. at the Government Center. GPS Project Fodroczi reported that a letter of agreement was completed between the County and the contractor. As a part of the start up, there will be a briefing and field demonstration for surveyors and engineers so they have some idea how the project will work. County Surveyor's Records Fodroczi distributed a copy of a letter that was sent to all the surveyors regarding some missing files and maps from the Planning Department and that all records will be stamped with a colored stamp to distinguish the difference from the originals and copies. Fodroczi further noted the importance of easy access to the files for professional customers, but if the problem continues, changes would have to be considered to that policy. Fodroczi informed the Committee of two alternatives the Highway Department suggested to solve the problem of missing surveyor records. The first was to move all the records to the Highway Department. The second alternative was to have the County Surveyor, Jim Rusch come to Hudson and copy all of the records to be kept at the Highway Department. The Committee agreed that neither alternative was acceptable. 5 Any Other Business Fodroczi distributed a copy of the Annual Land Information Conference registration form where 3 employees are budgeted to attend from 3 different County departments. He pointed out the pre -conference workshops for $35 each or 2 workshops for $50. This is beyond what was already budgeted and asked the Committee that for the 3 staff attending, they attend 4 of the sessions at the cost of $100. The Committee agreed that this be allowed.
