CROIX COUNTY GOVERNMENT CENTER, HUDSON, WI May 27, 2003 Present: Supervisors Art Jensen, Veronica Anderson, Jan Zoerb, Linda Luckey and Lois Bum were present. Staff. Steve Fisher, Jon Sonnentag, Deb Zimmermann Others: Ed Flanum, Joe Granberg, Ronald and Arlen Anderson, Pat Schultz, Doug Zahler, Tom Healy, Roger Humphrey Chairman Jensen called the meeting to order at 9:00 a.m. Anderson moved, seconded by Burri and carried, to adopt the agenda. Discussion held on the September PZP meeting scheduled for September 23` County Board will be held that day so the committee decided to hold their September meeting on September 30, 2003, rather than the 23 Date of next meeting: The next meeting for this committee is June 10, 2003 at the Government Center in Hudson. Minor Subdivisions: See attachment A: Major Subdivisions: See attachment B: Bills, Invoices and Revenue Report: Motion by Zoerb, seconded by Anderson and carried to approve April 2003 bills of $7,195.49 and to note revenue of $39,601.10. Violations and Citations: The Committee reviewed the report. The Committee asked that the violations be sorted according to type of violation for them to review next month (i.e. all the septic failures grouped together, etc.) Fisher will talk to the violations officer about this. Rezoning Schedule: The Committee set the following dates for rezoning hearings: June 18, 2003, Hudson Government Center, 7:00 p.m. — Liddle (Eau Galle) and Anding (Troy) Update on Ordinances: Fisher told the committee that staff is continuing to work on the ordinances and a work plan is being put together. Staff is focusing on the subdivision and septic ordinances, and the non- metallic mining ordinance is being reviewed by Corporation Counsel. The staff will continue to keep the committee updated. Park Funds: Star Prairie: The request is for $35,000 for the Town of Star Prairie to contribute to the Star Prairie Lake Protection Trust, Inc. Of that $35,000, $25,000 will be to purchase property and $10,000 will be to help make public access improvements. Pete Kling, LWCD, has been very involved in this process. Staff supports this request, and recommends that the $35,000 should be released to the Town. Motion by Zoerb, seconded by Burri and carried to have the money requested to be released from the Star Prairie escrow account. Springfield: The request is for $74.00 to pay for steel sign posts and directional arrows for the bike trail in the Woodville area. This request falls under the guidelines for the use of park fund money and the staff supports this request, and recommends that the $74.00 be released to the Town. Motion by Zoerb, seconded by Burri and carried to have the money requested to be released from the Springfield escrow account. The Committee recessed from 11:50 a.m. to 12:55 p.m. Municipal Plats: No plats. Robert Pike: Fisher explained that Pike is asking for a decision by the Committee on his rezoning request in the Town of Stanton. Pike is not present today for the meeting. Fisher told the Committee that the request does not meet the rezoning criteria for the Town of Stanton, and that the Town has not modified their criteria as of this date. Discussion held. Motion by Zoerb, seconded by Anderson to deny the request for rezoning 3.99 acres of property from Agriculture to Ag/Residential and for 53 -acres from Agriculture to Ag -H based on the following findings: 1) The Town of Stanton has various inconsistent rezoning policies. The county originally tabled this request and requested that the Town codify their inconsistent rezoning policies. The Town has not yet codified their policies. 2) The applicant stated in a letter dated March 18, 2003, that he would like a decision on this rezoning and was not willing to go back to the Town and have this application reviewed against the codified rezoning criteria. 3) Any rezoning should be consistent with Town policies and plans. Below is an excerpt from the Town of Stanton rezoning policy adopted: "Parcels may be rezoned from the exclusive agriculture if they meet the following criteria: 4. Land which has less productive soils than S.C.S. classes I, II, III." Approximately 75% of the properties contain class II soil. This rezoning is not consistent with the Town rezoning policies. 4) Surrounding zoning is predominantly agriculture. Agricultural land exists to the north, east and south, AG II to the west and a small commercial site to the south. 5) There is no Town Plan. Staff is to prepare the Ordinance for County Board and have the Committee review for final approval at their meeting of June 10"' Resolution: Bob Heise presented a Resolution Opposing State Legislation Seeking to Bypass Local Authority on Farm Expansions in Wisconsin to the Committee for their review. Heise stated that Corporation Counsel has reviewed and approved of this. Discussion held. Motion by Zoerb, seconded by Anderson and carried to approve with minor changes. Heise will forward onto Land and Water Conservation Committee and then onto County Board. Discussion of outlots: Zoerb asked staff to clarify how outlots can be used in creating new lots, as this has recently been discussed at the Town of Kinnickinnic. Fisher explained that questions have surfaced as to whether or not outlots can be used as a staging area for future land development, and after doing some analysis, it has been determined by the County that the Ordinance allows this practice. In Kinnickinnic there have been minor subdivision proposals to create 4 buildable lots and map the balance of the land as an outlot. When five years expires, the landowner creates 4 buildable lots and again plats the remainder of the land as an outlot. This practice is compliant with the St. Croix County Subdivision Ordinance. Fisher will send a letter to the Town of Kinnickinnic explaining this process. Capital Outlay Zoning: Fisher went over the Capital Outlay Plan for Zoning from 2003 -2006. The Committee reviewed the information. Motion by Jensen, seconded by Burri and carried to approve the Capital Outlay request as presented. Planning Brett Budrow handed out the Capital Outlay Plan for the Planning for 2004 and 2007. There are no additions to the years 2005 and 2006. Discussion held. Motion by Zoerb, seconded by Anderson and carried that the plan was received and reviewed. The Committee would like the figures on the GCS Software upgrade before final approval on the Plan. Register of Deeds: Kay Walsh presented the Capital Outlay Plan for Register of Deeds for the years 2004 through 2007. Discussion held on Digitizing Micofilm Cards and the cost to do that. Walsh explained that it would be much less expensive to hire someone to do the work than to have a company do it. Motion by Zoerb, seconded by Jensen and carried that the Plan was received and reviewed. Walsh will verify the figures and bring back to the Committee next month. Register of Deeds Office Positions: Walsh informed the Committee that in the first quarter this year, there has been a 41% increase in documents processed, over last year. It is projected that there will bean 83% increase in revenue for their department due to the tremendous amount of documents being processed. Because of this increase in work, Walsh is asking for $30,000 to be added to the 2003 budget to cover overtime salaries for her staff. She added that her staff works very hard to get this work done, but with the increased amount of work, there is no way they can get is done in an 8 hour day, and overtime is needed. She has staff willing to do this, and is asking for approval for the funds to cover that overtime. Discussion held. Motion by Bum, seconded by Zoerb and carried to approve the Register of Deeds request to add a maximum of $30,000 to the 2003 budget to meet additional costs and to move this request onto the Finance Committee for their review. Walsh and Chairman Jensen will present to the Finance Committee.
