The committee recessed from 10:55 a.m. to 11:05 a.m.
20% Slopes Policy: The committee reviewed the new policy on 20% slopes. This policy was
drafted and approved at a joint meeting of the Land and Water Conservation Dept. and the
Planning, Zoning and Parks Committee on October 15, 2002. Fisher told the committee that
with the language in this new policy, any plats submitted that show disturbance of 20% slopes
will have to come before this committee at the concept stage. Discussion held. It was decided
that a discussion on drainage easements would be held at a later date. Fisher will send this new
policy out to all of the towns, developers and surveyors.
Bills, Invoices and Revenue Report: Motion by Jensen, seconded by Anderson and carried to
approve September 2002 bills of $35,397.94 and to note revenue of $90,144.90.
Violations and Citations: The Committee reviewed the report. Discussion held. Fisher
informed the committee that an agreement was made regarding the Smeester lawsuit, and this
dispute was settled. The Judge ordered the trailer to be moved onto the CSM on the property,
and that has been done.
Fisher explained that the Zoning Office sends out 3 -year pumping notices to homeowners, and
that is being done. Staff will continue to work on the list of violations.
Municipal Plats: The following municipal plats were reviewed by the committee:
Berkseth Heights Townhome Community in the NE 1 /4, S31, T29N RI 6W, Village of Baldwin -
Motion by Jensen, seconded by Luckey and carried to certify no objection to the plat.. No
opinion is expressed concerning adequate sewer service.

The committee will view these properties at the end of their meeting on November 12th.
Non - Metallic Mining Ordinance: The staff is reviewing this ordinance, and hope to have it to
the committee by their next meeting. Planning, Zoning and LWCD have been working on it and
it is quite complex.
Announcements and Correspondence: Fisher handed out a letter he received from a member
of the community supporting cluster development. Apparently, there are many interested in this
type of development.
Fisher updated the committee on two lawsuits that have been filed against the Board of
Adjustments. One has been filed by Karl Neumeier, the other by the Town of Warren, appealing
decisions made by the Board. Fisher will keep the committee updated.
Fisher will place the contract position on the agenda for October 23
Planning Business
Planning Grant Resolution: David Fodroczi presented a resolution supporting a planning grant
application that he would like to submit on behalf of the Town of Emerald. The Town of
Emerald did not get involved with planning last year, like many of the other towns, and now
have a Planning Commission and are interested in moving forward and working with the county
on a Comprehensive Plan. Fodroczi would like to include them in the Heartland project.
Emerald completely supports this. Fodroczi is asking the committee to endorse this application.
Motion by Zoerb, seconded by Burri and carried to support the grant application for the Town of
Emerald.
Fodroczi handed out an article to the committee from the Milwaukee Journal relating to parks.
The article shows that property bordering/near parks are more valuable than properties that are
not. He thought the committee may be interested in this article.
Personnel Issues: Fodroczi informed the committee that due to a lay -off in the Finance
Department, there is now a bumping issue in Real Property. Fodroczi has raised some questions
on qualifications, and the process used, in the case of a bumping situation. The language in the
union contract is quite vague. Discussion held. The committee asked that Deb Kathan, Personnel
Director, be present at the next meeting on November 12 to explain the process used in
bumping an employee.
Buck Malick informed the committee that Dan Fedderly, Highway Commissioner, has given his
letter of resignation. He plans to leave his position by mid to late December. A revised job
description will be written for this position, and for the County Surveyor position.
Adjournment: Motion by Zoerb, second by Anderson and carried to adjourn the meeting at
12:45 p.m.
