letters with action up to date.
Summary of Tabled Plats and CSMs. Blackburn reviewed with committee the report of tabled
plats that were submitted under the old ordinance but not yet presented for final approval. The list
shows data and staff notes. Discussion regarding the time limit on approved preliminary plats that
have not been submitted for final approval. Blackburn will send letters to developers of those
inactive submittals to find out if they will be completed or cancelled. He will bring the results back
to the Committee and recommend denial if not planned for approval. Habhegger requested that as
many plats as possible get under the new ordinance.
Planning and Zoning Business -
Bills, Invoices and Revenue Report — Committee members reviewed the bills and revenue report
for July 2006 which were then signed by Chair Habhegger. The total projected fees through July
were down 20% from what was budgeted..
Municipal Plats — The Committee reviewed the plat of Red Cedar Canyon Whitetail Ridge in the
City of Hudson. Motion by Burri, 2 by Krueger and carried to certify no objection.
2
Land Use Ordinance Amendments — Discussion on the amendments that were approved by
County Board.
Sanitary System Replacements - Bezek stated that when a private sanitary system fails, the
system can be replaced with a holding tank when soils do not permit a typical system. It is very
expensive to install a new unconventional /experimental system — up to $20,000. He questioned if
we should force these homeowners to comply requiring them to install a new mound system or
approve replacement with a holding tank. Only a few such cases are seen each year. After
Committee discussion, Bezek stated that he will create some guidelines on ways to deal with
homeowners in these situations and bring to a Committee meeting. Habhegger noted that all the
homeowners must be dealt with fairly.
Office Space Adjustments - Fodroczi reported that Finance Committee approval was received
and the first phase of the office remodeling should be done in late September.
Personnel Update - Fodroczi reported that Zoning Specialist Jennifer Emmerich has accepted a
planning position with the City of Inver Grove Heights. Her last day with St. Croix County will be
August 30.
2007 Budget —
Economic Development Corporation — Executive Director William Rubin gave an overview of
St. Croix Economic Development Corporation. Three County Board supervisors serve on the
board of directors. He presented the proposed 2007 budget of $ 165,744. St. Croix County funded
$52,500 the previous year and he requested net funding of $65,000 for 2007. Total funding would
be $67,500 which includes the County's donation of office space and phone service. EDC also
receives contributions from four cities, five villages and eight towns. Total budget for 2006 was
$148,400. He explained that Planning and Zoning is the parent committee of EDC, the reason the
budget request is made through this Committee. The Committee will approve this budget at the
August 23 meeting when other Planning and Zoning budgets are approved.
Register of Deeds — Kay Walsh distributed the department mission statement and budget for 2007.
She explained that the Register of Deeds Office County revenue share for 2005 was 37 %. 32%
went to the county general fund and 5% to the county land records fund. 63% went to various
State Departments. The proposed 2007 Register of Deeds budget includes $862,000 projected
revenue with projected expenditures of $424,758.
Committee recessed at 9:50 a.m. The meeting resumed at 10:02 a.m.
Planning & Zoning — Fodroczi presented the Planning, Real Property, Regional Planning,
Recycling and Hazardous Waste budgets. Zoning, Septic Inspections and Land Records budgets
will be presented at the August 23 meeting. All budgets will be approved at that meeting.
One new position request and two temporary position requests are included in the Planning budget.
The Planning revenue includes $400,000 from the St. Croix River Crossing mitigation activities,
$25,000 for grant money for comprehensive plan update plus revenue from local town planning.
The total mitigation support of $750,000 will be carried out over five years. An additional
$200,000 for green space plan will be included in 2007 and 2008.
The salary line increase includes the addition of one new planner position which is contingent upon
the mitigation funding. Half of the projected cost of the 2007 office remodeling is included in the
3
capital outlay plan.
Fodroczi explained that the Regional Planning budget includes the annual contribution to West
Central Regional Planning. This amount is determined by Regional Planning and tied to real estate
valuation. The increase is $13,000 for 2007, the smallest increase for several years. Two County
Board supervisors are members of Regional Planning.
The notable increase in the Real Property budget is for the increased personnel costs associated
with the anticipated processing of City of Hudson documents in 2007. Fodroczi met with City of
Hudson staff the previous week. With that additional responsibility it is planned to increase the
part time position to full time and increase the temporary position from 600 to 1,000 hours. There
will also be a changeover in distribution of taxes. The Treasurer's office will help this year with
the transition and will assume that full responsibility in 2008.
Fodroczi explained that the Recycling revenue is entirely from grant and outside funding. The
County's costs are used with the remaining funds distributed to municipalities.
$33,000 in Hazardous Waste revenue was applied for, but the actual to be received will be $31,500.
Meeting adjourned at 11:28 a.m.
