for the Town of Star Prairie n the amount of $10,000.00. The money will be used towards the new Soccer
Complex at Hat Field Park in the City of New Richmond.
Septic Contract Renewal: Fisher explained that he will be working with Cedar Corp on renewing their
septic inspection contract for next year. The agreement will be amended to pay them at an hourly and
mileage rate rather than a "per inspection" rate. Cedar Corp appears to be in agreement with that. Fisher
will be working with them to establish this rate, and asked that the committee support this. Discussion
held. Motion by Zoerb, seconded by Jensen and carried to approve the renewal of the contract for septic
inspections that was instituted last year with Cedar Corp.
NR 115 Shoreland Rules: Fisher handed out a DNR Listening Session Packet Questionnaire sent out by
the DNR. The staff has gone through this packet and answered the questions the best that they could, but
stated that it was very difficult to answer. Many questions were unclear. The Wisconsin County Code
Administrators agreed that the questions were difficult to answer, as well. The committee reviewed the
packet with the staff and had a few suggestions. Discussion held. Motion by Zoerb, seconded by
Anderson and carried to approve the staff responses to the NR 115 comment package and authorize staff
to send on to appropriate agencies.
Substandard Shoreland Lots: Greg Timmerman, Corporation Counsel, was planning on discussing this
with the committee, but is not able to attend. Fisher told the committee that there have been many
questions by landowners on selling off these substandard lots in the Wigwam Shores subdivision. Fisher
further added that Corporation Counsel agrees with staff that the ordinance is quite unclear on this issue.
This will be placed on a future agenda when Timmerman is available for discussion with the committee.
Ordinance Development: The staff reviewed the draft of the nonmetallic mining ordinance with the
committee. A lengthy discussion was held on limiting size on quarries and permit duration time.
Eslinger added that we are the only county in the state that he knows of, that limits the size of the
operations.
Motion by Zoerb, seconded by Anderson and carried unanimously to accept the Nonmetallic Mining
Ordinance with changes discussed, and to move onto County Board for their approval.
Municipal Plats: None
Resolution on Parks/Recycling Transfer: A copy of the Resolution was handed out to the committee
last week for their review. Fodroczi explained that with the resolution, Recycling will now report to the
Planning and Zoning Committee and the Parks Department will now report to the Land and Water
Committee (Resources and Education Committee). The by -laws will be changed and the Planning,
Zoning and Parks Committee title will be changed to Planning and Zoning Committee. Discussion held.
