Chairperson Dorsey requested that the minutes show that the revenue report was reviewed. Supervisor Oemichen arrives at 11:25 a.m. Violations &Citations Nelson distributed a copy of the current violations and citations. Singerhouse Rezonement Nelson provided the committee with the information he had obtained in response to Supervisor Oemichen's four questions on this rezoning application based on concerns he had or concerns his constituents had raised during the public hearing. First, in response to septic system concerns, Nelson noted the soils were sandy and he predicted there would not be very good de -nitrification on many of the potential housing sites. However, Nelson also indicated he spoke to LeRoy Janske of DIHI,R and that agency was not concerned about septic problems on twoAo-three acre parcels. Nelson then introduced a letter from U.W. River Falls Professor Sam Huffinan to Troy Clerk Ann DesLauriers raising concerns about the density of the development. Second, Nelson the County highway Department did not want to comment on rood safety issues until there was a development plan presented indicating housing density and road placement. Third, Nelson stated he and Dave Fodroczi had discussed the proposed Agricultural Land Preservation rules with Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer (WDATCP) Protection staff. They were advised the Governor's budget recommends rule adoption be delayed until at least this fall. WDATCP staff also indicated the Town of Troy would not lose its agricultural land preservation certification due to this rezoning, but future agricultural rezoning could place this certification in some jeopardy. Finally, WDATCP staff recommended the Committee consider requesting the Troy Town Board to decide whether or not it should amend the Town Development Plan to reflect proposed changes in land use in the area bounded by Tower and Coulee Roads on the north and south, and County Trunk U and Highway 35 on the east and west. 3 Oemichen stated this is the most controversial rezoning issue he has had to consider in the five years he has served on the County Board; He appreciated all the letters he received from constituents on the issue and thought all were thoughtful. He thought it was important to address the issues raised by constituents at the public hearing and appreciated Nelson's work on finding answers. He did not agree with all of the conclusions. He believes there is a legitimate septic issue because the major subdivision would be on karst topography, would be fairly dense, and he disagreed with the Governor's apparent decision to essentially decrease support for agricultural land preservation. Oemichen said he did not like rezoning good agricultural land for homes and parking lots. However, he felt the committee members would probably support the rezoning request and he agreed the site was close to more intensive housing developments. Therefore, Oemichen said he would like to see a commitment from the developer for a lower housing density if the committee approves the rezoning. Mr. Stout indicated he could plan for lots of at least three acres. Nelson recommended the committee refer the issue back to the Town Board and Raymond stated he thought this was a good recommendation because it allowed for additional planning. Motion by Raymond, seconded by Oemichen that the Planning &Development Committee indicate preliminary support for the rezoning provided the Troy Town Board amend the Town Plan to reflect such a change, that the Town Board review the issue of the number of septic systems planned for the development, and the Town give the County some indication as to how this development will not cause safety problems to roads surrounding the development. Roll call vote: Oemichen-yes, Raymond -yes, Menter-yes and Dorsey -no. Motion carried. Dorsey indicated he would rezone now. The Committee recessed for lunch at 12:25 p.m. and reconvened at 1:45 p.m. Rezonements Nelson noted that the Town of Star Prairie rezonement that was rescheduled for February 27th has been cancelled. March 14 -Combine the rezonements for the Town of Somerset (2 for Ag to Ag Res) and the Town of Richmond (Ag Res to Commercial) - view at 7:00 P.M. and hold hearing at 7:30 p.m., the Town of Richmond will be held first.

Motion by Oemichen, seconded by Raymond to approve the request from the Town of Hammond for $2,000 to be donated to restoration of the Baldwin Community pool. Motion carried. Nelson distributed a copy of a request from the Town of Rush River to be given to the Village of Baldwin for repair of a shelter house and trees. Motion by Oemichen, seconded by Menter to approve the request from the Town of Rush River to be given to the Village of Baldwin for $1,082.71 to repair a shelter house and trees. Motion carried. Town of St. Joseph Map Nelson noted that Corporation Counsel has not reviewed the information regarding this matter. The Committee agreed to put it on the agenda for the March 8 or March 14 rezonement hearing. Seminar -Effective Zoning Administration Techniques Nelson distributed a copy of a seminar brochure he will be attending May 1 - 3 in Madison on Zoning Administration Techniques. He asked that Zoning Assistant Jim Thompson also be allowed to attend. Motion by Oemichen, seconded by Menter to allow Zoning Assistant Jim Thompson to attend the Effective Zoning Administration Techniques Seminar in Madison, May 1 - 3, along with Tom Nelson. Motion carried. PLANNING BUSINESS Bills, Invoices &Revenue Report Motion by Oemichen, seconded by Raymond to approve the Planning bills totalling $333.37. Motion carried. Chairperson Dorsey requested that the minutes show that the revenue report was reviewed. Economic Development Corporation Report Oemichen noted that Dave Piggott will be at the March meeting to give an update and that it was reported that 72 businesses are looking at business sites in St. Croix County. County Development Management Plan Fodroczi reported that he received a call from Mary Krueger representing the Village of North Hudson on the steering committee stating that she would have to withdraw from the committee due to the fact that there was no support from the village board for per diem. Oemichen stated that the Administration Committee will decide if the County has the authority to give members of the steering committee compensation for mileage and/or per diem from the grant money.
