be constructed South from the pit going across the Southern half
of Section 29, owned by Allen Berg and across Section 32, owned

across town roads.

concept before, and that everything had only been verbally
discussed.

to west, and that the contour map needs to be prepared.

township supports this new proposal providing the certain
conditions be addressed. These would include: (1) CSI Trucking
and Doberstein Farms, Inc. will be responsible for repairing all
road damage resulting to 130th Avenue. (2) CSI Trucking and
Doberstein Farms, Inc. will apply for the necessary driveway
permits and comply with all requirements of the Town of Erin
Prairie driveway ordinance. (3) Signs should be erected on
130th Avenue indicating the truck crossing and rough road
conditions. In addition, on either side of 130th Avenue where
the driveways intersect with town road, stop signs are to be
erected. (4) A legal description of the route which will be
followed should be provided and it should be a condition of the
permit that the route specified is the only route to be used in

concern with the unplowed road with would make emergency services
impossible. He is also concerned about granting after the fact
permits.
ROBERT AND HARRIET ENLOE
Mr. Enloe presented a site plan with a request for a building set
back variance to be 9 1/2 feet closer than the 100 foot set back
required. He had received a variance a number of years ago for
himself but never built. Now he would like to sell the property
with a 90 1/2 set back for a buildable area of about 32x50.
The township has no problem since it was a pre-existing parcel.
TOM TROLLAN
Mr. Trollan presented a request to build a driveway that would
only be 135' from an existing driveway rather than 200' because a
wetland is in the area of 2001. In addition, an existing
driveway that is closer than 135' will be removed.
Jim Lubick from the Township of Kinnickinnic stated that the
township supports this proposal.
Motion by Supervisor Bradley to approve the minutes of November,
December and January. Motion seconded by Supervisor Menter.
The Zoning Administrator invited the BOA to attend a zoning
workshop to be held on April 18th in Eau Claire. The topic will
be; Nonconforming Uses, Wetland Standards and Methods, Preparing
and Pursuing Cases, and Restoration. There will also be staff
from the State Attorney Generals Office to present the States
Role in Enforcement.
The Committee recessed to view the sites in question and
reconvened to render the following decisions:
JEFFREY CARLSON
Motion by Supervisor Bradley to deny the request for an after the
fact permit to place sand fill on the bed of the lake for the
following reasons:
1)This fill would not be consistent with the purpose of the
shoreland district for the protection of spawning grounds
(gravel -rubble bottom), for the prrservation of shore cover and
preservation of natural beauty.
2)An after the fact permit would set a precedence that would
impact the credibility of enforcement procedures.
It is also noted that the DNR will continue to process this
violation.
Therefore, this fill is to be removed and the site returned to
its original condition.
Motion seconded by Supervisor Kinney. Vote to approve said
motion: Kinney, yes; Swenby, yes; Menter, yes; Bradley, yes.
3
Motion carried.
RICHARD GRAF
Motion by Supervisor Swenby to approve the setback variance of 88
feet for a proposed 16x24 addition on to the west of the house.
A hardship exists because of the septic system and well being in
the areas that meet the setback. Motion seconded by Supervisor
Menter. Vote to approve said motion: Kinney, yes; Bradley, yes;
Swenby, yes; Menter, yes. Motion carried.
ROBERT AND HARRIET ENLOE
Motion by Supervisor Kinney to approve the setback of 90 1/2 feet
from the center of the road. This is a pre-existing parcel with
an undue hardship due to topography and lot size limitations.
Motion seconded by Supervisor Swenby. Vote to approve said
motion: Kinney, yes; Menter, yes; Bradley, yes; Swenby, yes.
Motion carried.
TIM TROLLAN
Motion by Supervisor Bradley to approve the 135 foot driveway
separation with the condition that the fill that has been placed
in the set land west of the driveway be removed, and all
disturbed areas be seeded and mulched. Motion seconded by
Supervisor Menter. Vote to approve said motion: Menter, yes,
Kinney, yes; Swenby, yes; Bradley, yes. Motion carried.
