Nelson then distributed copies of letters he received from two residents who do not support the rezonement. Motion by Raymond to recommend to the County Board approval of the Durning rezonement from Ag to Ag Res. Motion dies for lack of a second. Chairperson Dorsey asked that opposing or supporting testimony be limited to two minutes. Barry Lundeen the attorney representing Mr. Durning gave a brief history of the property. He then mentioned that 80% of the bordering neighbors are in support of the rezonement. Lundeen further noted that Mr. Durning has given every consideration to the land along the river which would have restrictive covenants. AT. Durning also feels the land is not proper for farming because 35 acres of the 50 are wetlands, and the land has not been farmed since 1981. Lundeen also noted that Mr. Durning and his family intend to build on the property and development the remaining buildable property. There is not a CSM done at this time. Discussion on the number of parcels planned for the development. Bonnie VanDyk, New Richmond, WI who is an opponent to the rezonement distributed and reviewed a folder of the research she had done on the burning property. She referred the information and opinion from Ed Thornton who has an under graduate degree in Soil Science and is a qualified appraiser. The information states that there is class two soil along with other prime soils on the property. She talked to Jay Custer from SCS who indicated that the soil on this parcel is very viable and he read information from the soils book that the land is a top producer for corn with top yields. VanDylc quotes the yields were reported in 1981 while being farmed by Gerald Weiss. She further noted there are also concerns for water quality and its preservation. VanDyk, also feels very strong about a moratorium on this kind of development. Gerrit VanDyke, New Richmond, WI is opposed to the development. He stated that he farms close to the proposed site, he has a liquid manure system and is concerned about the smell this system creates twice a year and the possible complaints from the residents of the development. He too is in favor of a moratorium. Gene Aichele, New Richmond, Wi is opposed to the development and stated that he feels there have not been enough adequate studies done on this project. He too is in favor of the moratorium. 2 John Siegfried, Hudson, WI suggested the lot size be increased from three acres to 10 acres. Eleanor Brown, Hudson, WI stated she is against Lite development of Durning property. Hen k Van Dyk, New Richmond, WI is an opponent to the rezonement. He stated that Mr. Durning is a Minnesota resident and already has one development in the County and now wants to start a new one. Van Dyk feels we need to take care of our own citizens. He has grown up in the area and remembers when there was corn growing in the fields and remembers it was good corn. Van Dyk said he understands this is the same water source with the same type of lime soil that the people on Mallalieu Lake have which caused some water problems. Lundeen states that Mr. Durning feels this property should have never been zoned Ag, due to an oversight many years ago. Lundeen noted that most of the objections are coming from the Town of Richmond, not from the Town of St. Joseph. Lundeen further noted that the Town of Richmond is zoned all Ag Res and gives them the opportunity to do what ever they want with their property. Why wouldn't they want the same for bordering neighbors in the Town of St. Joseph. Durning comments that he will warrant 10 to 11 parcels maximum and would not disturb the trees, but he needs to sell lots to pay for the roads. Three of the lots will be for Mr. Durning and his family. Nelson stated that the plan states that we should save class 1-2-3 soils and look at the other areas for grazing. If we start changing the plan, it becomes easier to do and for that reason Nelson feels he cannot support this rezonement. Durning stated that there is a lot of class 5-&7 soils and flood plain soils, the bottom line being 17 to 19 acres could be farmed. He further noted that the property next door is Ag Res. Chairperson Dorsey recessed the hearing at 11:05 a.m. Motion by Raymond, seconded by Dorsey to recommend to the County Board the rezonement from Ag to Ag Res with the stipulation that Mr. Durning warrant no more than 10 parcels and the Town of St. Joseph sees to it that this meets all the requirements of Sec. 91.77 of chapter 91 of the Farm Preservation Act. Motion carried. William Liddle continued rezonement Town of Warren Nelson reported that he talked to Ken Herink and Bill Liddle yesterday and they have agreed that the site could be used for a salvage operation but not a transfer station operation. Liddle will go to the Board of Adjustment and ask for a special exception to Ag Res, when approved he will request the rezonement to industrial. The Town of Warren's plan is to have this property zoned industrial. MINOR SUBDIVISIONS Five subdivisions were acted upon as seen in Attachment A MAJOR SUBDIVISIONS Country Wood, Town of Troy Motion by Oemichen, seconded by Menter to give conditional preliminary plat approval with the added requirement listed in the letter from Bob Heise dated October 16, 1995, the performance guarantees be made of 1.5% for erosion control and the original warranty of 3 acre average per lot. Motion carried. 3 Pheasant Run, Town of Hudson Motion by Raymond, seconded by Oemichen to conditional approval with an easement for the future road on lots seven and eight and include payment of the performance bond for the road and erosion control. Motion carried. Pine Cliff, Town of Somerset Nelson distributed a copy of a letter from the DNR listing issues to be addressed. Robert Pierce from the Town of Somerset Planning Commission asked to address the Committee on behalf of the Town and asked that the record show his comments. Pierce distributed a copy of a letter the Town of Somerset sent to Roger Gerhardt, WI DNR listing the concerns from the residents. He discussed a restricted zone which would require waivers to drill wells in that area. Pierce further noted that residents are concerned that the area not be ruined by developers, but to plan the area with citizens. Pierce stated that he would like the record to show that the Town of Somerset has requested an environmental impact work sheet be completed of the area and asked that the Planning & Development Committee honor this request by the Town. The impact study would consist of testing for a broad area of contaminants. Pierce further noted that the Town is concerned about drilling in the restricted area and suggested putting a children play area on the restricted site. Discussion on starting the roads before approval of the preliminary plat. Nelson noted that there is language in the ordinance that a waiver can be placed on the construction of the roads, provided there is some type of security placed with the Zoning Office. Timmerman comments on the waiver language in the ordinance. He stated that if the technical issues are resolvable, it seems harsh to not let them start the road, with the understanding that if the plat isn't approved, they are responsible for restoring the ground back to its original appearance. The Committee agreed that they would discuss this further at the rezonement meeting October 30th, in Star Prairie, after staff has had a chance to resolve some of the issues. ZONING BUSINESS Harold W. Carlson, Zoning Nelson distributed a copy of a letter from the Town of St. Joseph's attorney stating the Town of St. Joseph's position on the rezonement of the Carlson property. Timmerman's opinion on this matter was to take the adoption of the 1995 Zoning map back to the County Board and recommend that the Carlson property be rezoned industrial from commercial, with a public hearing to be held prior to the County Board meeting, presenting the new evidence. The Committee agreed to hold a hearing for the Carlson rezonement at the Town of St. Joseph town hall Monday, November 20th at 8:00 p.m. if the hall is available for that date. The Committee recessed for lunch at 12:55 p.m. and reconvened at 2:01 p.m. Bills, Invoices &Revenue Report Motion by Oemichen, seconded by Raymond to approve the Zoning bills totalling $8,398.35.

PLANNING BUSINESS CDBG Revolving Loan Fund Piggott reviewed the handout with a description of the revolving grant fund program with the purpose being to assist development projects in the community. He pointed out that once the business has paid the money back, the County gets to keep the money and set up their own revolving loan fund. Piggott Feels this is a good idea because there would be no expense to the County, the money would stay in the County, people from all around the area could benefit and this fund would not compete with local lending institutions. Piggott noted that this is "gap" financing which could supplement a loan if a business did not qualify for the full amount of money needed. Piggott asked if this was something he should mention to the communities. Piggott informed the Committee that they would be the overseer of the account if approved by the County Board. ZONING BUSINESS CONTINUED Adult Entertainment Ordinance Discussion on the language suggested in Corporation Counsel's letter dated October 3, 1995 to be amended in the ordinance for the distance between two adult entertainment businesses. The language would read to be measured from the center of any public entrance, instead of the main entrance. The Committee agreed that a public hearing would be held at 8*30 a.m., November 28th, prior to the scheduled Planning & Development Committee meeting. Motion by Oemichen, seconded by Raymond to recommend the language re -drafted to a public hearing. Motion carried. Ordinance Amendment to Industrial &Commercial Districts Nelson reviewed the Steering Committee's decision and request to amend to the ordinance to not allow permitted uses and make everything a special exception for two years, until the ordinance re -write is completed. The Steering Committee also requested that this be done with some expediency. Motion by Oemichen, seconded by Menter to recommend a revision to the zoning ordinance, section 17.19 by striking the language following permitted uses in Sub section 1, inserting the language that there are no permitted uses in the industrial district, and re -writing the language in subdivision 1, under special exceptions by striking all the current language and putting in "all uses may only be allowed as a special exception." Staff prepare language with standards within that district, to be provided to the Committee with sufficient time to prepare for a public hearing. Oemichen makes the same motion for the commercial district. In subdivision 1, section 17.18 strike everything after permitted uses with no permitted uses in the commercial district, in sub section (r) that all uses may be allowed as special exceptions. Motion carried. The Committee requested that Corporation Counsel review the language. 5 MAJOR SUBDIVISIONS CONTINUED Nelson presented municipal subdivisions for the Committee action.
