Fee Received: lilill $ I q`O."o OFFICE USE ONLY With: By: Receipt #: LL 7c Scheduled Hearing Date: _// CONDITIONAL USE CRITERIA Pursuant to the St. Croix County Zoning Ordinance § 15.550, please answer the following questions to justify the approval of your request (attach additional paper if necessary): 1) Describe the details of your request. Construction of a Lift - this property is on a bluff and a lift is necessary for safe access to the river and to minimize disturbance when accessing the river. 2) Describe the impact of your request on the enjoyment and value of surrounding properties. If there is no impact, explain why. Creating reliable and safe access to the St. Croix River will significantly increase the value of this property. In turn, this increased value might have a positive impact on the surrounding properties. 3) Describe the compatibility of your request with the uses and character of the surrounding area. The proposed lift will provide additional enjoyment of this residential property and the existing river frontage. The surrounding area is predominantly residential. Lifts and stairways are fairly common for residential properties along the St. Croix River to enjoy the recreational opportunities of waterfront property. Page 2 of 5 4) Describe how your request is consistent with the spirit and intent of the zoning district in which your property is located. (Please refer to the purpose statement for your zoning district in the St. Croix County Zoning Ordinance.) 1) Reducing the adverse effects of overcrowding - the proposed lift will reduce the number of vehicle trips taken to enjoy water and shoreline recreation. 2) Preventing soil erosion and pollution and contamination of surface water and groundwater. - The proposed lift will not create soil erosion that would otherwise be created when attempting to access the river via foot traffic. 3) Providing sufficient space on lots for sanitary facilities. - The proposed lift has no impact on sanitary facilities. 4) Minimizing flood damage. - The proposed lift/tram will terminate above the regional flood elevation. 5) Maintaining property values. - Addressed above 6) Preserving and maintaining the exceptional scenic, cultural, and natural characteristics of the water and related land of the Lower St. Croix Riverway. -The proposed lift will be constructed to avoid any significant tree or vegetation removal. The earth tone color will insure that it is visually inconspicuous. 5) Describe how your request will impact public health, safety, and general welfare. What measures will you take to minimize any negative impacts? The proposed lift will provide safer access to the river and a means to provide quick assistance to anyone in need of help along shoreline. Construction methods will involve essentially no soil disturbance and existing vegetation will be preserved. The efforts to limit physical disturbance along with earth tone colors will insure there is no significant visual impact. 6) How will you ensure that your request will not constitute a nuisance by reason of dust, smoke, odor, or other similar factor? What measures will you take to prevent a nuisance? The necessary construction does not include any methods that would result in a nuisance with the possible exception of minimal noise for those in close proximity. The construction will be completed during normal business hours and likely have less audible impact than normal maintenance tasks for residential properties. 7) Additional comments: The proposed lift is consistent with the St. Croix County ordinance as follows: 1. The existing slope is too steep and unstable for pedestrian access. 2. The lift is not designed to transport a boat or machinery up or down the slope. 3. The *car will not exceed 4' x 6' and will not have a canopy. 4. The proposed lift location was chosen to avoid the removal of trees to the maximum extent practicable. 5. The lift will be powder -coated in earth -tone, non -reflective colors in order to be visually inconspicuous. 6. Native vegetation plantings shall be used were needed to provide visual screening (likely accomplished by the existing vegetation that will remain). 7. The proposed location will allow for existing vegetation to provide immediate screening. 8. Tree removal will only occur within 1' of the proposed lift location. 9. This is the only lift that will exist on the property. 10. Pipe anchors will be driven into the ground to avoid soil disturbance and future erosion. *A landing (<40 sgft) at the top and bottom will be constructed to access the car.
