Major Subdivisions: See attachment B:
The committee recessed from 10:30 a.m. to 10:40 a.m.
Zoning Department and Resignation of County Zoning Director: Deb Kathan, Chuck Whiting and
Buck Malick joined the discussion. Fisher went over the summary and duties of his departure and the
mission statement. Discussion held on reorganization of planning and zoning department going over the
pros and cons of having one director oversee both departments. Malick encouraged the committee to look
at this and work with the Administration Committee to come up with a plan. Fisher added that this is
worthy for debate, but the zoning department is very short staffed and something needs to be done in the
interim.
Motion by Zoerb, seconded by Burri and carried to take a minimum of 60 days to evaluate options and
concentrate on the status quo or reorganize the planning and zoning departments. As the committee
develops a process to do this, personnel is to cease a search for a new Zoning Director temporarily until
the status of the planning and zoning departments is determined and then decide whether or not needed.
The committee will appoint a zoning director for the interim period for statutory duties and assign
management duties to the planning director. Motion carried on a 4 -1 vote, with Luckey voting in
opposition. Deb Kathan asked that someone let her know what requirements are statutory and what is
administrative.
Rezoning Schedule: The committee set the following date for a rezoning hearing: May 5, 2004 at the St.
Croix County Ag Center in Baldwin at 7:00 p.m. — Webster (Troy), Kusilek (Troy), Nelson (Somerset)
Land Information Internet Policy: Brett Budrow updated the committee on the two informational
meetings that have been held regarding the Land Information Internet Policy. He went over the
comments that were made. This new system is to help the public gain access to records, without having
to come into the Government Center to do so. This will be a help to citizens and staff. Tom Boron, St.
Croix County computer services, assured the committee that our computers are very sophisticated and has
a very high degree of protection. By having this information available to the public through intemet
access, it would be a cost saving for the county.
1
Members of the public expressed their concerns with the privacy issue related to having this information
made public. Discussion held on removing names and addresses from this information. Staff stated that
it would be impossible to do this with some of the systems, and names and addresses are always available
on the internet for anyone to access. Budrow did add that you would not be able to put in a name and
access a parcel. Bill Berndt, citizen, reminded everyone that the information being accessed is already
available to the public at anytime, and is supportive of what the county is proposing. It will be a
tremendous help to the businesses that need this information. Discussion held by committee on pros and
cons of allowing names and addresses to be accessed through this system.
Motion by Luckey, seconded by Zoerb to remove the names from the public version of the internet access
to property records. Motion failed.
Motion by Burri, seconded by Jensen to put the Land Information Internet Policy into place as presented.
Motion carried on a 3 -2 vote.
Schedule Variance Hearing: The committee scheduled April 27, 2004 as the date to hold a hearing for a
variance to the subdivision ordinance. The applicant is Phyllis Menke. The property is located on Cedar
Lake in the Town of Star Prairie.
Municipal Plats: The following plats were approved by the committee:
Willow Wind in the SW '/4, S 3, T30N R18W, City of New Richmond. Motion by Jensen, seconded by
Burri and carried to certify no objection to the plat. No opinion is expressed concerning adequate sewer
service.
Red Cedar Canyon Southwest in the NE' /4 & SE 1 /4, S32,T29N R19W, City of Hudson. Motion by

Bills, Invoices and Revenue Report: Motion by Zoerb, seconded by Burri and carried to approve
February 2004 bills of $8,497.69 and to note revenue.
Violations and Citations: The Committee reviewed the report with staff.
Halleen Rezoning: The applicant has requested that the committee take no further action on this
rezoning application until the applicant has a chance to work with the town. The Town of Stanton has
filed a Resolution in this matter, and the committee cannot approve at this time. Staff will keep the
committee updated.
Ordinance Development: Fisher informed the committee that an information meeting was held with the
professionals and staff felt it went very well, and feel that they are willing to work with the county. There
may be some comments submitted by the professional community, and staff will share with committee
when they come in.
Zoning Office Intern: Fisher told the committee that the zoning department has a need for an intern in
the department for the summer. There is $6500 set aside in the budget for an Arc Pad for the department,
but that purchase is going to be postponed. Zoning would like this money used to hire an intern instead.
Discussion held. Motion by Jensen, seconded by Luckey and carried to hire the intern and use the $6500
to pay for the intern's wages.
Adjournment: Meeting declared adjourned at 1:30 p.m.
