Motion carried. Approval of Previous Minutes: Date of Next Meeting: Planning and Zoning Committee July 10 at 8:30 a.m.. Two rezonings and one waiver will be scheduled for public hearing on Wednesday, July 25 at 7 p.m. in Hudson. Old and New Business: Waiver from Land Division Regulations APPLICANT: David Peterson LOCATION: NE i / 4 of SETA, Sec. 15, T28N, R18W, Town of Kinnickinnic ADDRESS: 331 County Road JJ, River Falls REQUEST: Reduce setback to 50 feet pursuant to section 13.1013 of the St. Croix County Land Division Ordinance Blackburn reviewed the staff report. No one spoke in opposition of this request. Motion by Ruetz, 2 °a by Troyer to approve the waiver. Motion carried unanimously. APPLICANT: Richmar Industries LOCATION: NEIA of SWIA, Sec. 27, T29N, R19W, Town of Hudson ADDRESS: 642 & 644 Brakke Drive, Hudson REQUEST: To seek relief from the minimum contiguous buildable area requirement for commercial use pursuant to section 13.7(J)5.a. of the St. Croix County Land Division Ordinance Blackburn reviewed the staff report noting that Richmar also owns lots 1 and 22. The hardship was self created. Staff recommends denial of the waiver. Jeff Johnson, Town of Hudson Chairperson, spoke in support of this request. He stated that the legal land division was done in before there was a change made to the County ordinance. Town of Hudson wants to keep the one acre lot size. Jon Sonnentag, S & N Surveying, stated that the lots are buildable. There is adequate space for parking, septics and replacements. He recommended approval of this request. Two structures were put on the property when that was compliant. Sonnentag showed a map of surrounding buildings and property. This lot was created in 1994. Marty Ryan, Richmar Industries, stated that they tried to build within the rules of the town and county. The nonconforming building was not intentionally done. When the other lots were created in 1995, one acre lots were permitted. He does not see benefit of spending so much money to purchase additional land. Tim Erickson, Hudson School District, spoke in support of the waiver. The building as is meets the school's basic needs. No one else spoke in opposition. Troyer spoke in favor of granting the waiver since this is non - taxable property and adding any footage would decrease the amount of taxed property. It is best to not take property off the tax roll. The previous ordinance required only a one acre net buildable area. Krueger also stated that approving the waiver will save taxpayer money. Motion by Troyer, 2 "d by Krueger to grant the waiver. Motion carried, with Habhegger opposing. Final Plat(s) and Town - Pond View Acres — Town of Cady — Blackburn reviewed the staff report. The Town has received some additional revised requested road plans. Blackburn did a site visit. The applicants would like an extension, and the staff had no objection. There are lots that do not perk but can be added to adjoining lots or become outlots. The owner asked for an extension. Town has all the required documents. Motion by Burri, 2 nd by Troyer to approve this extension to the August 14 Committee meeting. Motion carried unanimously. Discussion of plats and CSM's that are currently in the review process Fodroczi stated that Jim Rusch, representing Sienna Corporation, had asked to review the plat of Sunset Landing. It was not necessary for him to meet today. He asked to report to us on status of the plat. Planning and Zoning Business — Bills, Invoices and Revenue Report — The Zoning bills and revenue report for May 2007 were reviewed by Committee members and signed by Chair Habhegger. Stan asked for a revenue comparison with the previous year at future meetings. Municipal Plats — none Waivers to be Scheduled — One waiver request hearing will be scheduled as part of the July 25 meeting. Code Administration Report — Grabau reported that a request from the Town of Hudson for the County to change its standard of one acre contiguous buildable areas is expected in the near future. He also stated that we are continuing enforcement action on the Bettendorf case. He submitted a reclamation plan, but was not complete. Steve Olson reviewed and forwarded his comments to Mr. Bettendorf. A second letter was sent extending the time limit, but no applications have been received so far. He is required to submit three applications — rezoning, special exception and nonmetallic mining. Carrie Stoltz is handling the code enforcement files very well. There are some Riverway issues with the DNR involved. A number of after - the -fact applications have come in, mostly for problems with junk on properties. Jennifer Havens and Stoltz visited the Comacho property in the Town of Star Prairie the previous day to find it has been well cleaned up. Grabau also reported that the number of sanitary permits issued in 2006 and 2007 are down 2 considerably from previous years. Town of Hudson passed a sign ordinance that must go through County approval process. Land Use Ordinance Amendments — Fodroczi reported that staff is working with the County Clerk on distribution of the new sign regulations and non - metallic mining ordinance approved the previous week. He expressed appreciation to Committee members for their high level of diplomacy and sensitivity in working with the County Board. The votes spoke for themselves. Krueger thanked the staff for its very professional work on the ordinances, especially the presentations to County Board by Jenny Shillcox, Ellen Denzer and Kevin Grabau as well as Fodroczi. He felt that was the reason for the ordinances being approved. Fodroczi also acknowledged the excellent cooperation of Land and Water Department staff in getting answers and sorting out issues. Troy Riverway Ordinance - A final letter was sent to Town of Troy on this matter. Fodroczi and staff will be meeting with Town Chair Ray Knapp and a plan commission member the next day on concerns and issues. We can probably agree to minimize administrative conflicts and inconsistencies, but much is inherent in the terms and terminology. 2007 Budget Process - Fodroczi reported that budget instructions should be received soon. He does not expect much change in the process this year. Most of the work will be done in July, then brought to the Committee in August. A separate budget session will be scheduled. Budget should be completed at the last Committee meeting in August. Mission Statement and Business Responsibilities - Fodroczi reviewed the updated documents with the Committee and explained proposed changes. Motion by Burri to accept the mission statement and report as presented. Motion 2 nd by Troyer and carried unanimously. Capital Outlay Plan - Fodroczi stated that the plan is not ready to be presented as he needs to review some items with Chuck Whiting, but will be ready for the July 10 meeting. The Committee recessed from 10:15 to 10:25 a.m. Register of Deeds — Mission Statement Approval and Office Updates — Walsh reviewed the updated mission statement and explained the changes. There is now only one part time (7 hours /day) permanent position. The office also has two part-time as needed persons plus one high school student office aide. Motion by Troyer to approve the Register of Deeds Mission Statement as presented. Motion 2 nd by Burri and carried unanimously. Correspondence: Letters of testimonials on the recent hazardous waste collections were received from Biodiognostics in River Falls and from Hudson Mayor Jack Breault. Letter from Sienna Corporation regarding the Sunset Landing development was brought in this morning. The developer had originally asked to appear at this meeting. The development has a conditional preliminary plat approval. Other conditional approvals from Board of Adjustment specifically asked to extend the timeframe of conditional approval of preliminary plat. There is no provision in the ordinance to extend the timeframe. This plat did not receive DNR Chapter 30 3 permit approval,and that denial is now being appealed in court. Announcements: Fodroczi reported that the large fire the previous week in Eau Claire happened to the company that we work with for our clean sweep events through Northwest Regional Planning. Meeting adjourned at 10:44 a.m. Respectfully submitted: dy Ols , Recording Secretary Stan Krueger, Secret 06 -26 -07 4
