RE: LUP-2023-067 Structure Setback Reduction Request
Site Address: 1375 Halo Drive
Site Location: Lot 1, Certified Survey Map Vol. 16 Pg. 4278, Town of Kinnickinnic
Dear Adjoining Landowner(s):
This letter is to inform you, per Section 13.10.B of the St. Croix County Code of Ordinances, that the
property listed above has applied to reduce a platted 100 foot structure setback to the road right-of-
way (ROW) on the property to 50 feet from the ROW, which is the current standard.
Land divisions that were processed under the subdivision ordinance prior to January 1, 2006, were
required to have a 100 foot structure setback line from the road ROW drawn on the approved map of
record. As of January 1, 2006, Chapter 13 St. Croix County Land Division Ordinance no longer requires
the setback line to be placed on the map of record. In addition, the current County Zoning Ordinance,
Chapter 15, now includes a structure setback of 50 feet from the road ROW. This created a conflict
between the current structure setback of 50 feet that is allowed by today’s ordinance, and previously
recorded Certified Survey Maps (CSM) and Plats that had the 100 foot setback line drawn on them. The
information on a recorded Plat or CSM document has legal standing and all changes to such maps
require recording a correction instrument created by a registered land surveyor per the State of
Wisconsin Platting Manual, and approval from this department via Land Use Permit. This process
notifies the affected Town and adjoining properties owners directly.
Please submit any comments or concerns, if any, regarding this request to this department within 30
days of receipt of this letter. Your feedback will be taken into consideration during the review process.
Thank you,
Kelly Becker

RE: LUP 2023-067 Road Setback Reduction Approval
Site Address: 1375 Halo Drive
Site Location: Lot 1 of Certified Survey Map Vol. 16 Pg. 4278 located in the NW1/4 of the NE1/4
of Section 35, Town 28N, Range18W, Town of Kinnickinnic
Dear Mr. Winberg:
Community Development staff have reviewed the Land Use Permit application for a reduction to a
platted 100 foot right of way structure setback on the above listed Certified Survey Map, to the current
ordinance standard of 50 feet to the right of way. The request has been conditionally approved based
on the application submission and the following findings:
Land divisions that were processed under the subdivision ordinance prior to January 1, 2006,
were required to have a 100 foot structure setback line from the road ROW drawn on the
approved map of record.
As of January 1, 2006, Chapter 13 St. Croix County Land Division Ordinance no longer requires
the setback line to be placed on the map of record. In addition, the current County Zoning
Ordinance, Chapter 15, now includes a structure setback of 50 feet from the road ROW.
The setback reduction request was initiated for an expansion of an existing accessory structure
within the 100 foot platted setback.
The road setback reduction does not violate the general intent and purpose of this Chapter
13.10.B or is it detrimental to the health, safety, general welfare, or aesthetics of the
neighborhood.
The setback reduction will allow the lot and structure to be in greater compliance with the
objectives and standards of Chapter 13.10.B and/or any of the underlying zoning chapters.
Based on these findings, approval of the Land Use permit is subject to the following conditions:
1.A Wisconsin Registered Land Surveyor must record a correction instrument (Affidavit of
Correction) within 30 days of receipt of this approval to reduce the setback, as required per
Section 13.10 B.5.c of the Land Division Ordinance.

Croix County Community Development Department suite. It is your responsibility to ensure compliance
