Approval of minutes: Motion by Luckey, seconded by Burri and carried to adopt the minutes from the January 28 2003 meeting with corrections noted. Minor Subdivisions: See attachment A: Major Subdivisions: See attachment B: Concept Plats: The following concepts plats having 20% slopes were presented to the Committee for their review: Hudson Rodeo Center: Motion by Zoerb, seconded by Jensen and carried to move this concept map onto staff for their review at the technical review committee provided that the staff verify information from the applicant showing evidence that the location of the road is located in the best area that would cause the least amount of disturbance to 20% slopes. Glen View: Motion by Zoerb, seconded by Jensen and carried to approve the concept map and move on to the staff for their review at the technical review committee with the understanding that the lots will not impact the 20% slopes for building pads and driveways, and that the developer provide evidence to the LWCD that the layout of roads to be constructed on slopes of 20% or greater is the most beneficial design for erosion control practices. Belisle Concept: Motion by Zoerb, seconded by Luckey and carried not to approve the concept based on information presented to the Committee. The committee asked that the surveyor re- submit a concept that does not have a driveway through the 20% slope area. If this can be achieved, the concept may move onto the preliminary stage for technical review by the staff. If the driveway remains in the 20% slope area, the concept must come back to the committee for review. The committee recessed from 12:00 to 12:10 p.m. Rezoning Decisions: Gloria Basel and Robert Orf: Gloria Basel is asking the committee to reconsider their decision previously made to rezone her property from Ag to Ag -II. Basel's original request was for a rezoning for 114 -acres from Ag to Ag/Residential. Robert Orf s request for the rezoning of 190 - acres from Ag to Ag/Residential was tabled at his hearing to allow the Committee to review the material and consider testimony given at the hearing. Fisher handed out a memo to the committee regarding rezoning in the Town of St. Joseph. Staff does not believe these large rezoning requests are consistent with the Town Plan, and staff has asked that the Town of St. Joseph amend their plan to allow for these large rezonings, if that is what the Town desires. Fisher further stated that State Statute 91.77 must be considered by the town in making their decision on a rezoning, even if the property is not going to be developed at the time. The statutes are very explicit on this. Discussion held on speculative rezonings. The committee reviewed the Orf and Basel requests. Fisher explained that the staff recommends tabling both requests until the Town of St. Joseph upgrades their plan, or makes a decision on these rezonings based on the current Town Plan. At the current time, the plan for the Town does not show the requested land as being in Ag/Residential. If the Town of St. Joseph wants to change how they see land use in the future, they need to change the plan. Bob Orf, and Bernice Lentz voiced their concerns on this, stating that the Town has conducted a public hearing on this matter, but has not moved forward in officially adopting the upgrade to their plan. Discussion held. The Committee believes that it is important to uphold the Town's Land Use Plans when making a rezoning decision. Motion by Jensen, seconded by Burri and carried to table the Basel and Orf requests to allow the Town of St. Joseph three months to change their Town Plan showing how they wish to proceed with development of Agricultural land and how they perceive their community to look in the future. This Plan should be forwarded to the County. The applicants may then appear before this Committee for a final decision, based on the updated plan, and there will be no extra fees charged to the applicants in this matter. The staff will forward a letter to the Town of St. Joseph informing them of the Committee's request. Pat McNamara: Fisher stated that this request was tabled at the February 26, 2003 hearing in order for the applicant to obtain a recommendation from the Town of Erin Prairie. The applicant's request is to rezone 6.84 acres of land from Ag to Ag/Residential, with .97 acres being added onto an existing parcel, and the remaining 5.87 -acres to be a separate parcel. . The Town of Erin Prairie recommended approval of the .97- acres, but did not approve the remaining 5.87 -acres to be rezoned. Ed Flanum, surveyor for the applicant, told the committee that the owner is fine with just the .97- acres being rezoned, as recommended by the Town. Discussion held. Motion by Jensen, seconded by Luckey to approve only the .97 -acres to be rezoned from Ag to Ag /Residential to add onto an existing parcel. The applicant's request of the remaining 5.87 - acres is not consistent with the County Plan, and the Town of Erin Prairie did not recommend approval of that request. The approval for the .97 -acres from Ag to Ag/Residential will be forwarded to County Board for their approval. The recommendation for approval is based on the following findings: 1. The parcel is in the rural planning area and is an appropriate use. 2. Site consists of an existing building site to the north with adjacent farmland to the south and east. 3. The site is part of a larger farm of 69 acres. 4. The site is not identified on the primary environmental corridor map. 5. There are no environmental features. 6. There are no limitations for Private Onsite Wastewater Treatment Systems (POWTS). 7. Surrounding land uses include a farmstead to the north and farmland to the south, east and west. 8. Surrounding zoning is exclusive agriculture to the east, south and west and ag/residential to the north. 9. The site has access to a County road to the west. 10. There is no Town Plan, however, the town is in the process of developing a plan. 11. The St. Croix County Natural Resource Management Plan Goals H, III and IV also encourages protection and preservation of surface waters and wetlands; fish and wildlife habitats; and agricultural land and soils to preserve ecological functions and recreational and scenic values and wildlife habitat. 12. The Town of Erin Prairie has provided a recommendation to approve rezoning .97 acres and has considered §91.77 in making their decision. 13. Staff recommends the following for committee consideration: Rezone only a 0.97 -acre parcel to square off the existing building site of 1.68 acres. This will bring the acreage of the building site to over 2 acres, which is consistent with the County's required minimum lot size. Motion carried on a unanimous vote. The Committee recessed from 1:00 p.m. to 2:10 p.m. Bills, Invoices and Revenue Report: Motion by Zoerb, seconded by Luckey and carried to approve February 2003 bills of $9,199.19 and to note revenue of $81,462.33. Violations and Citations: Jennifer Emmerich, violations office, reported to the Committee that she is working on the current and new violations, but there has not been much change in the past month. The Sukowatey case is up for another hearing on April 2" to review a report that has been put together to determine what is "junk" on the property, and what is not. She will keep the committee updated. Municipal Plats: The following municipal plats were reviewed by the Committee: Berkseth Heights Second Addition in the NE '/4, S 31, T29N RI 6W, Village of Baldwin. Motion by Zoerb, seconded by Jensen and carried to certify no objections. No opinion is expressed concerning adequate sewer service.

No opinion is expressed concerning adequate sewer service. Rezoning Schedule Robert Pike: Fisher explained that Pike is asking for a decision by the Committee on his rezoning request in the Town of Stanton. Fisher stated that staff has been working with the Town of Stanton on consolidating their rezoning criteria into one set, and then having the Town adopt that codified criteria. Discussion held. The Committee agreed to place this request on the agenda for the April 22 " PZPC meeting. The staff will inform the applicant. Ordinance Update: Fisher handed out a "Proposed Strategy to Draft, Review and Adopt St. Croix County Land Use and Sanitary Ordinances by December 2003 ", and went over this document with the Committee. Discussion held with Planning, Zoning and Parks staff on the two implementation strategies presented. The committee unanimously decided on the second strategy to focus time and attention on the completion, review and adoption of the subdivision and sanitary ordinances first, as these two ordinances apply countywide and would allow conservation design subdivisions. Once these steps are completed, staff would immediately focus time on the completion and adoption of the new General Zoning Ordinance in its entirety. The Committee endorses obtaining outside help through the West Central Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission and Jay Tappen will be available to assist staff. Staff will further look into obtaining outside legal help for ordinance review as well. Workshop for Town Deputy Z.A.'s and Town Officials: Fisher informed the Committee that the Zoning Staff will be conducting a workshop for the town Deputy Z.A.'s and town officials interested in coming. The workshop is scheduled for April 28 Zoning Fees: Fisher handed out a copy of the proposed fees for the Zoning Department and explained the upgrades. The Committee will review the information and comparisons and will discuss again at the April 22 " meeting. Planning Business State Budget Comments: Fodroczi explained to the Committee that County Board Chairman, Buck Malick asked that he make the Committee aware of the items in the State Budget cuts as they affect funding for land use information. The budget would eliminate funding from the state for land information programs, and that would have a big impact on St. Croix County. Fodroczi asked for the Committee endorsement to file some comments on this by next week. Discussion held. Motion by Burri, seconded by Anderson and carried to have Fodroczi draft a letter for Jensen's signature and to forward to appropriate parties. Motion carried. 4 Minutes: Motion by Luckey, seconded by Burri and carried to approve the minutes from the January 28, 2003 meeting with corrections noted.
