The plans as submitted are found to be in compliance with the provisions of the St. Croix County Zoning Ordinance
and the Lower St. Croix River Valley District. Staff finds that the project meets the spirit and intent of the St. Croix

1. The structure was constructed prior to the enactment of the Riverway provisions and district.
2. The addition meets the bluffline, side yard and town road setback requirements.
3. The approval of this project will not affect the public health, safety and welfare of the residents of St. Croix County.
4. This approval will not change the character of the neighborhood.
5. The original house plans included a deck to be attached to the riverside of the house.
6. The site is well screened by existing vegetation.
7. The structure's exterior will be a brown earth tone, which will bend the structure in to its natural surroundings.
8. Grading is not necessary to repair and raise the structure.
9. The National Park Service had previously granted permission on September 15, 1977 to Mrs. Ardis Phillips to
complete the deck.
If the scope of the project changes, please contact the Zoning Office immediately so we can assess the project to
