Planning and Zoning Business
Bills and Invoices — The April 2006 Revenue Report and April 2006 Bills and Invoices were
reviewed by the Committee.
Planning Report — Budrow reported that the Town of Baldwin adopted its comprehensive plan the
previous week. All five towns in the Heartland Project are now complete. The implementation
process will be next. As part of the contract, color copies will be provided to each town as well as an
executive summary. We are sending in grant closeout forms to the State so each of the towns can
receive its final grant payment.
Denzer reported on the wrap -up meeting for the five towns held on April 20. The meeting had very
good turnout with every town represented. Participants were asked for written comments on the
overall project. Many positive comments were received including comments about the benefits of all
five towns doing projects simultaneously. Residents noted that there were good materials and
workshops and good surveys provided as part of the process.
The continuing role of the plan commissions was discussed. Denzer distributed a written list
showing the next steps for the towns according to State law. The towns found this very helpful.
Implementation was discussed with the towns at the workshop, making changes to local subdivision
ordinances and zoning issues that they could work on with the County. Also discussed was where to
get the necessary resources to work on their own subdivision ordinances.. They each received
information on internet resources plus model subdivision ordinances from the State of Wisconsin.
The towns were offered the opportunity to come here to talk to Planning staff if they need assistance
in writing ordinances. They talked somewhat about a project for Jim Janke's replacement to create a
County rural living guide.
Fodroczi stated that he received the annual report from West Central Wisconsin Regional Planning
Commission. The new Your Wasteline newsletter was mailed to residents the previous week. It
includes the schedule of 2006 collections, the first being the Clean Sweep on May 20.
Land Information Report — Budrow reported that the Land Information Committee reviewed new
Arc Publisher and Arc Reader software that allows a person to publish a map and data file on a CD
or internally in the office so people can review these published maps in a different way than
accessing the data from the current internet application. It has better mapping capabilities for the
production work that Real Property staff is doing. We are looking at using this as a tool to provide
maps and data on CD for assessors.
The Register of Deeds aperture card scanning project is being done now by Midwest Graphics and
should be complete by November. It will greatly increase the records search capability for the
Register of Deeds.
Budrow also reported that we are working on a new software system of mapping and database to
better track non - metallic mining and POWTS systems and will greatly increase staff efficiency in
these areas. Other modules will be added for zoning requests and violations in a coordinated
database with mapping. We also have been selected as an ARC GIS 9.2 beta site. We currently have
9.1 software. 9.2 is a new version to be released later this year. We will test the software for survey
mapping capabilities for parcel maps.
The E911 wireless grant project is moving forward and a resolution will be brought to County Board
in May for centerline mapping. This is a joint effort between Planning and Zoning and Emergency
Communications.
The Sheriff's Department is interested in having GIS capabilities for mapping work in that
department — tracking crime, accidents and other traffic incidents. They need this same type of
centerline geocoding for traffic incidents replacing the current wall maps.. We can do that same type
of pin mapping on the computer system.
Real Property Lister Update — Fodroczi distributed a status tracking sheet on work roll
distribution with assessors and board of review which shows when work rolls were picked up,
review dates and when packages go out. Real Property staff meets weekly to review schedules and
work flow to improve efficiency.

Code Administration Report - Fodroczi reported that the Road Inspection Agreement with the
Town of St. Joseph was finalized. It was approved and signed on April 20. All of the major
subdivisions that came in beginning in May will be processed through plan review and inspection
with the Town. 'The Town will do review and field inspection on those new plats.
Rezoning Schedule - Two rezoning applications will be scheduled for hearing on June 21 at 7:00
p.m. in Hudson.
Land Use Ordinance Amendments - Fodroczi discussed with the Committee the need to set up a
process of having Corporate Counsel comment and review on amendments before scheduling
hearings and before County Board approval. He stated that it is critical to meet with Corporation
Counsel and staff about the needs of completing the amendment process in a timely manner.
County Board, Committee and Department Goals - Committee members discussed the need to
determine the Committee's goals and priorities regarding ordinances, land information and budget in
response to the goals set by County Board. We also need to provide opportunity to orient the new
Committee members. This item will be on the May 23 Planning and Zoning Committee agenda.
Staff resignation and position request - Fodroczi announced that Debbie Murphy will leave at the
end of this month to take a position with the Minnesota Courts System in St. Paul. He stated that he
is looking at making some appropriate changes to that job description. With input from others on the
human resource team an annual process is being developed to review and update job descriptions.
Because of the vacancy now would be a good time to review and make adjustments to this job
description. Adjustments to this position will be discussed with the Personnel Liaison Group and
suggestions will be brought to this Committee in two weeks.
Habhegger stated that he had talked with Bill Derrick about problems in the Water's Edge
subdivision in the Town of Richmond. Every home is less than 300 feet from shoreline. This will be
discussed at the May 17 hearing.
Committee recessed at 12:15 p.m.
USGS Groundwater Model —1:00 p.m. -
The Committee and staff listened to a status report from the U.S. Geological Survey on development
of a regional groundwater model. There was also discussion about options for localized inset models
once the regional model is completed.
Meeting adjourned at 3:00 p.m.
