Major and Minor Subdivisions Minor Subdivisions: See attachment A: Major Subdivisions: See attachment B: The committee recessed from 10:45 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. Hearing: 11:00 a.m. Don and Judy Coddington request a variance to Section 18.16(H)(6), Lot Standards for Major and Minor Subdivisions in Section 17, Town of Kinnickinnic. The request is to seek relief from the 3 to 1 lot ratio requirement in order to split an existing parcel. Fisher read the hearing notice. Sonnentag explained that this is a request for a variance for relief from the 3 to 1 lot ratio requirement in order to split an existing parcel. The committee reviewed the staff report. Sonnentag added that staff believes there are other options in splitting this property that would meet the ordinance requirements. Don Coddington explained that due to the lay of the land, it is hard to split the lot into two lots that would be a "clean" split. The lots would end up being oddly configured. Discussion was held on hardship criteria for granting a variance. It was noted that the Town of Kinnickinnic has requested that the land be split as requested to keep in a "clean" split, rather than to have it oddly configured. David Phillips, Town of Kinnickinnic, has been out to the property, and believes that the requested split, by the Coddingtons, would be best for this property. Motion by Zoerb, seconded by Burn to close the hearing. Discussion held. Motion by Luckey, seconded by Jensen and carried to deny the request for a variance to the 3 to 1 lot ratio based on the following findings: The committee finds that the request is not consistent with the criteria for granting a variance set forth in Section 18.21(B)(1) and 18.21(B)(2) of the St. Croix County Subdivision Ordinance. Indigo Ponds 2: Fisher went over the staff report with the committee, stating staff's concerns with the net buildable are on Lot 60. Staff does not believe this lot complies with the ordinance. Jim Rusch and Carl Yeager, attorney for Rusch, were present and addressed the committee on this issue. They both believe there is adequate space for net buildable area for a home on this lot, and Yeager stated that he does not feel that the concept plat should be denied on grading language as it is not addressed in the ordinance. He added that the disturbance of 20% slopes is not prohibited in the ordinance. Staff does not agree, and believes that grading is addressed in the ordinance. Fisher said that Lots 58 and 59 meet the requirements of the ordinance. Lot 60 does not meeting the contiguous building area size that is required. Lengthy discussion held on size of buildable area. Motion by Zoerb, seconded by Luckey and carried to not approve the concept map based on information presented by staff that the map does not meet the net buildable requirements set forth in the ordinance. Eagle Pointe: Chuck Cook, Craig Lilja and Louie Filkins were in attendance. Cook went over the concept plat of Eagle Pointe Subdivision and reviewed with the committee. All the building pads are outside of the 20% slopes, and the only disturbance of those slopes will be for roads. There are issues with road connectivity to an adjoining subdivision that needs to be addressed. Cook would like to have the preliminary plat approved prior to the rezoning, if the county would consider that. He has concerns with signing the conservation easement before actually having the plat approved. Discussion held on water runoff. Cook said that engineering will address all of this. Soil tests have been completed on the property. Motion by Zoerb, seconded by Jensen and carried to approve the concept plat and disturbance of 20% slopes to be disturbed for roads. No 20% slopes to be disturbed for creation of lots per the policy. The concept will be moved onto the preliminary stage. Cook told the committee he will work with the town on other outstanding issues and bring back before the committee. The committee recessed from 12:35 p.m. to 1:35 p.m. Extension of time for Preliminary Plat Approval: Long Pond Shores: Motion by Zoerb, seconded by Burri and carried to extend the preliminary plat approval for 6 months (September 24, 2003 to March 24, 2004).

The PZP Committee requests that they be copied with any documentation on instructions that may accompany this evaluation to and through the Hay evaluation process. Ordinance Development Subdivision Ordinance /Sanitary Ordinance: Dave Fodroczi, Ellen Denzer, Rod Eslinger, Pete Kling, and Bob Heise joined the group. The staff handed out the draft copy of the Subdivision Ordinance to the committee. Fodroczi pointed out that it has been a team effort by everyone and many hours have been put into this. The work sessions were very productive and a good experience. Fodroczi said that this is a "working draft ", that will be available for the public, but is very clear that it has not yet had committee approval.
