variance to encroach within the road setbacks pursuant to Sections 17.64 (1)(c) 2,
17.64 (1)(e) 2, and 17.70 (5)(c) 3 of the St. Croix County Zoning Ordinance.
6
2. The Board finds that a literal enforcement of the ordinance would cause an
unnecessary hardship regarding the location of the proposed home and garage on
the property.
3. The Board finds that there are unique characteristics on the property as the
existing lot is a legal, non - conforming lot that was created prior to the ordinance.
4. The Town of St. Joseph has not submitted a letter of approval but will be holding
a public hearing on the application on October 7, 2004.
5. The Board finds that the request is not contrary to the public interest and will in
fact improve upon the existing condition of the property.
6. The Board finds that the spirit and intent of the ordinance would be met by
granting the request for the encroachment into the road setback, and substantial
justice would be done.
With the following conditions:
1. Prior to beginning construction of the proposed home, the applicant must
abandon the cistern located near the eastern property line.
2. Prior to beginning construction of the proposed home, the applicant must contact
the DNR to certify that no underground storage tanks exist on the site and must
remove any if found.

the old outhouse building found on the property and properly abandon the pits

plant will be primarily used for road projects in St. Croix County.
5. The plant is being located in an existing, operating quarry that has historically been
very well run. By locating the operation in this quarry, it will minimize truck traffic
in the area.
6. There was no public opposition to the request.

signage, shall require review and approval by the zoning administrator and in
some circumstances through the Special Exception approval process, where
applicable, as stated in the ordinance.
12. The applicant shall have one (1) year from the issuance of the special exception
permit to commence the business. Failure to do so shall result in revocation of the
special exception permit. If the special exception permit expires before business
