Habhegger and Brian Hurtgen
Staff present: Dave Fodroczi, Robert Bezek and Deb Murphy
Chairperson Zoerb called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. and explained the hearing process.
Dave Fodroczi gave a summary of the ordinance updates to the group and then gave a
Powerpoint presentation on the two ordinances being amended. He further explained that there
have been no changes to the ordinances since they were presented to the County Board last
August. Fodroczi explained that the ordinances did fail at the County Board level, but several
ordinances were presented at the same time, and there were no major objections to these two
ordinances, so they are being presented tonight with no changes. He added that the re -write of
the Sanitary Ordinance is to comply with the State Code.. Staff has also been notified by the
DNR and Federal agencies that they need to adopt new Floodpla:in and Riverway Ordinances, as
well. There is a very tight timeframe for the county to get all of these adopted. Handouts of the
ordinances for this hearing were available to those in attendance.
There was a question and answer period. Chairperson Zoerb opened the hearing to take
comments from the public. Fodroczi read the hearing notice as follows:

• After the notice was read, the public addressed the committee and staff with the following
comments:
Sanitary Ordinance comments:
Bill Berndt (On behalf of the Homebuilders Assoc. and the Realtors Assoc.)
• Is strongly in favor of the new Sanitary Ordinance that is proposed.
• Common systems will be beneficial and have been tested around the county with very
few problems. He believes it will be positive for St. Croix County.
Teresa Johnson (Chairperson for the Town of St. Joseph)
• The Town has sent letters to the committee stating that they are adamantly opposed to
homeowner's associations governing common systems. There are too may potential
problems with this, and the Town thinks that this should not be part of the ordinance.
Frank Phillips — Roberts
• Thinks that pumping the common systems and getting rid of the waste will be a problem.
Zoning Ordinance comments:
Maxine Pike - Stanton
• Supports the changes to the zoning ordinance and hopes that the two ordinances are voted
on separately by the County Board and that this one gets passed.
Jim Emmert — Pleasant Valley
• Is concerned that people will not understand the criteria for the 35 -acre minimum lot size
in the Agricultural District.
Doug Hanson — Stanton
• Is in favor of the amendments to the ordinance.
Fodroczi told the group that the timeframe for comments to be submitted has been extended and
comments will be accepted until 5:00 pm Tuesday, February 2:r due to the County offices
being closed on Monday, February 21 Fodroczi added that March 15 and 23 have been set
aside as the dates for the informational meetings on the Land Division Ordinance. The
committee will not set public hearing dates until those informational meetings have been held.
More materials on these ordinances will be out on the County website in the next couple of
weeks.
After all comments were received, Zoerb concluded that the hearing was over. Zoerb declared
