CROIX COUNTY GOVERNMENT CENTER, HUDSON, WI August 26, 2003 Supervisors: Art Jensen, Veronica Anderson, Jan Zoerb, Linda Luckey and Lois Burri were present. Staff: Steve Fisher, Jon Sormentag, Deb Zimmermann, Pete Kling, Jeff Durkee, Dave Larson Others: Joe Granberg, Doug Zahler, Ty Dodge, Larry Murphy, Roger Humphrey, Todd Bjerstedt, Pete Gartman. Chairman Jensen called the meeting to order at 9:00 a.m. Anderson moved, seconded by Burn and carried, to adopt the agenda, Date of next meeting: The next meeting for this committee is September 4, 2003 at the Government Center in Hudson. Minutes: Motion by Luckey, seconded by Zoerb and carried to approve the minutes from the June 16 and 18, 2003 meetings. Major and Minor Subdivisions: Sonnentag and Fisher presented a handout labeled Conditions of Plat Approval. Staff reviewed with the committee, stating that they believe it is important for the developer /agent and project engineer to sign off on this list of conditions. Fisher explained that by articulating what is expected of everyone, it should help manage the process, and hopefully take care of problems up front, rather than later. Discussion held. Motion by Zoerb, seconded by Jensen and carried to accept the "Conditions of Plat Approval" with the wording in Condition six to be changed from "September 30, 2003" to "... September 30, of the current year "... Minor Subdivisions: See attachment A: Major Subdivisions: See attachment B: The committee recessed from 10 :45 a.m. to 10:55 a.m. Wildwood Trail: Fisher updated the committee and went over the revised plan for development of the Wamstad property (formerly the Rodel property) that is located on both sides of the Wildwood Trail in the Town of Eau Galle. The applicant has been working with Peter Gartman, of Cedar Corp, on locating an area to cross the trail to access the property. A Iengthy discussion was held on minimizing the driveway standards for the crossing from 26 -feet in width to the minimum standard width required of 12- feet. This would discourage outside traffic across the trail. Jeff Durkee, Highway Department, stated that highway would support a variance to these standards. He also added that the sight distance at this crossing is adequate. Dave Larson, Parks Department, added that the crossing would be best if built at a 90- degree angle. A discussion was held on the difference between the definition of parcels and lots. Staff believes that the ordinance would allow a driveway to the two proposed lots. The committee agrees that the location proposed for the crossing is the best place for the driveway and recommends that a joint driveway be located at this location. The driveway is to be at a 90- degree angle, as shown on the plans. The committee supports a variance to the driveway standards to serve only two lots, The variance request would be to allow a 12 -foot driveway for the two lots, rather than a 26 -foot driveway. This variance request will be placed on the September 23, 2003 agenda for a hearing and staff will publish and notify all parties. It was noted that the proposed easement would be part of Lot 1. Discussion of N.R. 118: Buzz Marzolf, Town of Troy landowner, addressed the committee with his concerns with the content of the DNR's Chapter N.R. 118. He handed out a packet of information that included many comments and concerns from area landowners and other area government agencies. He stated that there has been a lot of frustration with these rules, and many believe it is time for a change. The committee held a lengthy discussion with staff on this, and went over the letter being proposed to the state on N.R. 118. Motion by Luckey, seconded by Anderson to submit comments to the DNR with the technical changes as noted by the committee. It was noted that Jensen voted in opposition.

Discussion held. Motion by Zoerb, seconded by Luckey and carried to approve the request for the release of escrow money for the Town of Warren as presented. Septic Permit Review: Fisher explained to the committee that the zoning department needs help with their septic permit reviews and inspections. The staff is putting in many hours right now, and cannot keep up with the demand. The department is already ahead of last year's figures for number of permits, and it is taking 3 weeks for a permit to be issued with the workload as it currently is. Fisher would like to hire another contract person for this position, and knows that there are companies out there that are willing to help out and can start right away. Discussion held.

Staff has been working with Jay Tappen on the subdivision ordinance and will be getting to the committee at the September or October committee meeting. The staff has started working on the Sanitary Code and it is going well. It was determined that community systems need to be specifically looked at, as there is a lot of interest in this as it relates to conservation design subdivisions. Brian Ohm and Jim Jahnke will be doing some work on this and gathering information. Ohm is willing to serve in a review capacity for this ordinance. Announcements: Fisher stated that interviews will be held for the zoning secretary position on September 11 in the afternoon. Luckey will represent the committee at these interviews.
