Julie Speer, Chairperson St. Croix County Board of Adjustment MINUTES St. Croix County Planning, Zoning and Parks Committee August 13, 2003 St. Croix County Agriculture Center, Baldwin, Wisconsin Committee members present: Supervisors Art Jensen, Veronica Anderson, Jan Zoerb and Linda Luckey. Lois Burri was absent and excused. Staff present: Steve Fisher and Deb Zimmermann Chairman Jensen called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. A motion was made by Zoerb, seconded by Anderson and carried to adopt the agenda, with it noted that the County Surveyor discussion has been canceled. The next meeting is scheduled for August 26, 2003 at the Government Center in Hudson. Jensen explained the hearing process and opened the hearing. John and Joan Neumann: Fisher read the notice into the record. The request is to rezone approximately 24 +/- acres of land from Agriculture to Ag -II. Location: The SE ' / 4 of the SE '/4 of Section 17, T28N -R17W, Town of Pleasant Valley. John Neumann presented his request to the committee. He explained that when he first came to the county he wanted to rezone the entire 64 acres from Ag to Ag -II, but the County suggested that he rezone 24- acres, which was the poorest farmland on the property, to A -II, and leave the remaining 40 acres in Agriculture. After presenting this to the Town of Pleasant Valley, they voted against this request, stating that they wanted the entire 64 -acres zoned from Ag to Ag -II and would allow one home site on that 64- acres. Fisher explained that the 64- acres, as it is, is not eligible for a home. He further explained that if the 24 -acres is rezoned to Ag -II, the remaining 40 -acres would not be eligible for development, so the end result would be the same. Discussion held. Mark Carlson and Helen Haworth, neighboring property owners, were in attendance to find out what the intention of Neumann was, and had no objection to one home site on the acreage. James Freeman, Chairman for the Town of Pleasant Valley, explained the reasons for the Town's denial, stating that they are committed to maintaining the rural character of their Town. He pointed out that there are many farmers in this area and the Town would like to keep it that way. The Town is willing to work with Neumann on this, but would like to see a larger acreage than the 24 -acres for a home. Fisher went over the staff report with the Committee. Discussion held with the group. After a lengthy discussion, Neumann asked to withdraw his request and would like to go back before the Town with a request to rezone the entire 64 -acres from Ag to Ag -II. Motion by Zoerb, seconded by Anderson and carried to accept the withdrawal of the application. Neumann may re- submit his request to the Committee after going back before the Town. Bill Liddle/ Allan Markert rezoning request: Fisher updated the Committee on this request stating that this was tabled at a previous meeting for more information. The request is to rezone a 40 -acre parcel from Agriculture to Ag -II. The staff believes that the applicants have submitted all of the requested information and that it complies with the County Plan.
