carried.

Committee.
County Development Management Plan/Zoning Ordinance
Janke referred to the packet of information previously sent to the Committee for review before the meeting
as previously requested by the Committee. He explained that the state gives more aid to districts that are
"property poor" and less aid to wealthier districts. For most school districts in the state this means that
increased property tax revenue from new development is offset by reductions in state aid.
K
Janke next presented the results of research on the economic impact of manufacturing on the St. Croix
County economy. The results show that manufacturing contributed $162 million to income in the County
in 1991. Manufacturing also provided 4200 jobs in 1991. Those jobs supported another 5100 jobs in
Aber sectors of the County economy.
The Committee suggested that the information from these reports should be made available to municipal
and town officials.
Development Moratorium
With the help of a visual aid, Fodroczi reviewed maps of the corridors that would be affected by the
moratorium. He explained that there would two separate ordinances, the first is within the transportation
corridor and the second is for a moratorium for the adjoining corridor. In the first ordinance there would
be no permits, no minor or major divisions, no rezonements and no special exceptions or variances from
Board of Adjustments. The second ordinance would include no major subdivisions and rezonements. The
Committee agreed that the concept will be sent to the towns along both corridors for their review and then
meet with the towns along the STH 35/64 corridor separately from the towns along the STH 35 corridor,
to include the Towns of Hudson, Troy and Kinnickinnic.

Met Council Tour
Fodroczi reported that the day went very well. He noted that the steering committee expressed an interest
in keeping the communication lines open with the Met Council staff. They also determined that they
would be interested in touring counties in the metro area that have comparable growth problems and
possibly include the Planning & Development Committee on that tour.

policy failed with a 3 to 2 vote.
