Both hearings were very well attended with good discussion and comments received. Cylon expects to adopt the plan at its next town board meeting.

The Stanton town board will likely adopt the plan at its next meeting. Budrow reported that Pleasant Valley will hold its public hearing this evening.

Jim Janke will do a short session on implementation. Budrow encouraged Committee members to attend. e. St. Croix River Crossing Mitigation Program - Fodroczi reported that the mitigation package distributed the previous week to stakeholders includes St. Croix County as the program manager since much of the impact of the bridge is growth and development. The package will be reviewed and finalized this week. The whole EIS process will be put out for review, probably in March. The federal agencies requested that St. Croix County act as the fiscal agent. That concept was reviewed by County Administrator, Corporation Counsel and Finance Director. It received unanimous approval from the Finance Committee although the details are not ready yet. The County will act as repository and dispersing agent for the money. The draft EIS should be out for review by the March meeting. f. New Richmond Intergovernmental Committee - The City is working with the four surrounding towns on developing cooperative boundary agreements. They agreed to split into two groups. The City will work with Star Prairie and Richmond on specific agreements. Stanton and Erin Prairie agreed that they would back out of the discussions for the time being and allow the City to work with the two other towns as they could benefit from what the city worked out with Richmond and Star Prairie. There was another meeting with the City and two towns on February 8 on the issues in the cooperative boundary agreements. Alicia Cosgrove from UW Extension facilitated. They agreed that they would take their lists of issues back to their home councils and boards for discussion and refinement and will meet again on March 29. g.

Real Property Lister Update — Fodroczi reported that Real Property staff is getting the last of the 2005 plats entered into the system. He distributed a table of plats entered. Only two towns are yet to be done. The Real Property Lister projected that work rolls would be done by mid - March. They are more up -to -date than in the previous two years. Fodroczi reported on some errors on personal property roll this year.. Because Awards of Damages were not followed by deeds as in the past, errors also occurred with some assessments. i. Code Administration Report - Bezek stated that he expects to see more requests for waivers with the new ordinance. He will bring requests to the next meeting to schedule hearings. Special meetings may need to be scheduled if there are three or more in a month. j. Rezoning Schedule — Bezek reported that five rezonings are scheduled on March 8. One is a request to rezone 33 acres in the Town of Eau Galle. Since this borders the Village of Woodville, Bezek will attend the next Village board meeting. Two requests from Pleasant Valley are scheduled, one to rezone two 20 -acre parcels to Ag II and another to rezone three 12- acre parcels on 40 acres. He noted that the town recently adopted a subdivision ordinance that limits two dwellings per 40 acres. Rivard Stone in the Town of Somerset requests to rezone four acres to commercial. Cedar Lake Speedway in the Town of Star Prairie wishes to add another business, an indoor motocross track, requiring rezoning the property. The entire property is presently zoned ag- residential. k. New Ordinance Implementation - no report 1. Ordinance Amendment (Accessory Structure Height, Language Clean -up) - Denzer reviewed the handout with all proposed changes that was mailed to the Committee members. She also reported that Corporation Counsel is reviewing the changes and has recommended two additional changes. Corporation Counsel wants all the definitions checked to determine if there are any additional definitions which are no longer found anywhere in the zoning ordinance. These should be deleted. The Roman numeral numbering system and references to subchapters should also be removed. To be consistent with other County ordinances, the document should only refer to numbered sections, the applicable section or the ordinance in its entirety. Corporation Counsel and his staff will prepare these additional changes. Committee members reviewed the list of 13 proposed amendments. Planning and Zoning staff recommended one additional amendment regarding Deputy Zoning Administrators: change town resident to town representative on page 17.7 -3. Burri moved to move the proposed ordinance amendments, with the additional formatting and obsolete content changes proposed by Corporation Counsel, forward to public hearing on Wednesday, March 8 at 7 p.m. Motion 2 ° by Hurtgen and carried.
