CROIX COUNTY GOVERNMENT CENTER, HUDSON, WI May 24, 2005 Supervisors: Jan Zoerb, Brian Hurtgen, Lois Burri, Wally Habhegger and Stan Krueger were present. Staff. David Fodroczi, Bob Bezek, Alex Blackburn and Debbie Murphy. Chairperson Zoerb called the meeting to order at 8:30 a.m. and introduced Supervisor Stan Krueger as a new member of the committee. He replaced Supervisor Buck Malick, who is now a member of the Board of Adjustment. Agenda adopted. Major and Minor Subdivisions Minor Subdivisions: See attachment A: Major Subdivisions: See attachment B: The committee recessed from 1025 a.m. To 10:35 a.m. Hearing: 10:30 a.m. Grant Fleischauer Variance Request: The following notice was read into the record: Grant Fleischauer requests a variance to the St. Croix County Subdivision Ordinance, Section 18.16 (H)(3) Design Standards for Major and Minor Subdivision. The variance request is to reduce the required minimum road frontage of 66 -feet. Location: 1157 Highway 63, Baldwin, W1 54002 Blackburn went over the staff report with the committee. The request is for a variance for relief from the required 66 -feet of road frontage to construct a home on an 8 -acre parcel. Xcel energy owns a 50 -foot strip of land that runs along the south side of the property on County Road DD. The applicant has a 20 -foot driveway easement from Xcel Energy to cross the 50 -foot strip of land to allow the applicant access into the property. Xcel Energy will not grant a 66 -foot easement, as required by ordinance, for an access. This is the only access into the property. Grant Fleischauer, owner, reiterated the staff's comments, stating that this is the only access into the property and Xcel Energy will only grant him the 20 -foot easement. There was no opposition to the request. Discussion held. Motion by Hurtgen, seconded by Krueger and carried to approve the variance request to allow a 20 -foot easement for access into the property. Documentation from Xcel Energy granting the 20 -foot easement should be submitted to the Code Administrator for review. The approval was based on the following findings: 1) The variance request does not create any apparent negative impacts or atypical land use; 2) There was no opposition to the request. Bruce Lenzen: The following notice was read into the record: Bruce Lenzen requests a variance to the St. Croix County Subdivision Ordinance, Section 18.16 (H)(6) Design Standards for Major and Minor Subdivision. The variance request is to exceed the 3:1 ratio of depth to width of a lot. Location: Lot 4 & 5, Bruegler Court, Hudson, W154016 Blackburn explained the request and went over the staff report with the committee. The request is for a variance to the 3:1 lot ratio to allow the applicant to split the outlot on the property and add onto two existing lots. Blackburn further added that according to the ordinance, this outlot would be able to be split without a variance in two years. The Town of Troy has recommended that the variance be granted at this time. 1 q Bruce Lenzen, owner, explained that the reason for this request is to allow outlot 1 to be split and added onto the two existing lots in order to gain access to the river, rather than an easement through the neighboring proeprty. A property owner cannot put a dock on the St. Croix River if they do not own the property. The outlot was originally created because of the 3:1 lot ratio, and due to the unique characteristics of the property, and the slopes, this lot would never be allowed as a buildable area. By adding this land onto an existing parcel, it will not change the use of the outlot. It will remain unbuildable. The building sites on the existing lot 4 and 5 meet all required setbacks Gloria Wahrenbrock, Supervisor for the Town of Troy, spoke on behalf of the town stating that the town is in favor of the variance. The town believes this adds value to the land and is a much more workable situation for everyone. The town has placed a restrictive covenant on the property that no further subdividing of lot 4 and 5 may take place. There was no opposition to the request. Discussion held. Motion by Habhegger, seconded by Krueger to approve the variance request based on the following findings: 1) The request eliminates and outlot. 2) The Town of Troy has recommended approval and has restricted Lots 4 and 5 from no further subdividing and one home is allowed on each lot. 3) In two years, the applicant would be allowed to split the outlot per the ordinance. 4) Allows the applicant access to the St. Croix River. Motion carried on a 4 -1 vote with Zoerb voting in opposition. 20% Slope Discussion: Secluded Land Co.: Motion by Zoerb, seconded by Hurtgen and carried to approve the concept map for disturbance of 20% slopes based on the concept for the sites indicated by the developer and per the policy only allowing 20% slope disturbance for dedicated public roads.

Comments on Proposed State Budget Revisions — Fodroczi reported that the State Joint Finance Committee removed all the funding ($2 million) for comprehensive planning and transferred it to the general fund, then repealed the comprehensive planning law.

We can communicate to the legislature to restore the funding and the law as part of the budget bill. The budget will go to the legislature in the next two to three weeks.
