Planning and Zoning Business -
Bills, Invoices and Revenue Report — The Zoning bills and revenue report for October
2006 were reviewed by Committee members and signed by Chair Habhegger. Fodroczi
reviewed the projected revenue report comparing actual revenue through October. A
shortfall is expected for 2006. However he expects that zoning and septic budgets should
see a cost savings of $100,000 for the year.
Municipal Plats — none
Land Use Ordinance Amendments — Bezek distributed copies of a letter from Town of
Troy chairman Ray Knapp endorsing the proposal for the sign moratorium ordinance.
Bezek reported that Town of Kinnickinnic chair Mary Murphy was asked to solicit all
towns in getting support regarding setback changes in the land division ordinance. She
brought this to the last Towns Association meeting. Bezek will contact Murphy about
responses received and report more at the next Planning and Zoning meeting. If there is
support, the ordinance could be amended.

Code Administration Report — Bezek emphasized the need to fill the code enforcement
position. He stated that land division is the biggest part of the staff workload at this time.
Only one rezoning and one waiver request are scheduled for the December 6 hearing.
Three items are scheduled for the Board of Adjustment hearing on December 7.
Personnel Update — Fodroczi stated that the Zoning Technician position is in the
recruitment process.
Suite Remodeling — Fodroczi reported the results of Finance Committee discussion on the
Economic Development Corporation relocation at its last meeting. As requested, Chuck
Whiting solicited other departments about interest in the space. Three or four departments
have expressed such interest. He will report more after the December 14 Finance
Committee meeting. If the Economic Development Corporation relocation is not
approved, we will have to make internal adjustments with EDC. All the materials for
Planning and Zoning remodeling are on hand.
Contingency Fund Request for Hudson Dam - Fodroczi stated that he had talked to
Finance Director Michelle Pietrick who had discussed this bill with the City of Hudson
Treasurer. Pietrick determined that a contingency fund request is needed to pay what the
County owes. Fodroczi distributed a report of dam expenses and the bill from the City of
Hudson showing that the County owes $25,282.72 including 2005 charges and 2004
charges that were not billed in 2005. Both year's charges included additional expenses.
St. Croix County budgets $5,000 each year for its share of dam maintenance costs.
Committee members noted some discrepancies in the accounting.. Fodroczi reported the
history of the ownership and maintenance of the dam. There was concern about repairs
being done without County approval. The County has 50% ownership of the dam. There
is no procedure in place on the County approving expenses. Krueger stated that there
needs to be better accounting of wages and other expenses with proof of time and overtime
spent. A new understanding between the City and County is also needed. Motion by
Krueger to not pay for this expense until more detailed information is received from the
City. Motion 2 nd by Habhegger and carried unanimously.
Livestock Siting Fees — Bezek reported that livestock siting law requires land use permits
for large livestock operations. State administrative rules allow charging up to $1,000.
Motion by Krueger to amend the fee schedule to charge $1,000 for livestock siting fees.
Motion 2 nd by Burri and carried unanimously.
Announcements. ..
Notice was received the previous week that the Federal Highway Administration has
signed the record of decision on the St. Croix River Crossing project. There is a six month
waiting period on any funding.
