County Concrete Rezoning: This request was heard on August 15, 2001 to rezone
approximately 16 acres of property from Ag/Residential to Industrial. Fisher stated that the green
space issues have been addressed and staff is satisfied with the fact that there is adequate green
space surrounding the property. It has been determined by the Department of Transportation

(in concept) and move forward to the County Board based on the following findings. The
wording is to bejfinalized and approved at the Committee meeting tomorrow night:
1. The Town of Warren approves of the request, stating in a letter dated January 8, 2001 that the
Town Board approved a motion to change the Roberts/Warren Joint Long Range Plan to
reflect the change in use on this parcel/ area from Commercial to Industrial. The request
3
conforms to the Town Plan.

building berms and tree buffers according to the plans submitted.

rezoning is a small expansion to an existing industrial area. The plan recommends that
industrial uses be located on state or federal highways, separated from residential and
agricultural use$ and with sufficient infrastructure.

land to the east.

The committee recessed from 11:25 a.m. to 11:35 a.m.
Planning Dept.
Room Rate Request: Dave Fodroczi told the committee that Brett Budrow will be attending
the GIS Users Group Conference in Chicago. The best room rate they can find in the area is
$120 per night, and Fodroczi is asking for approval to increase the amount for Budrow's room to
allow him to stay near the conference. Motion by Malick seconded by Jensen to approve the
increase to $120 per night for a hotel room, carried.
Outlots, Town of Troy: Corporation Counsel Timmerman joined a discussion on the use of
outlots, the definiti n of outlots, and the town role in allowing uses on the outlots. Timmerman
said that the rule fo subdivisions is that both the town and county subdivision ordinance apply,
with the most restri tive rules required to be followed. If the Town of Troy wants to go in a
different direction, the County would have to adopt something to change this.
Timmerman told the Committee that with the new "open space" movement happening in some of
the towns, the outlot uses should be looked at differently. The ordinance defines an outlot as
allowing "no building development ". Timmerman does not believe it is necessary to amend or
change the ordinance to allow uses on an outlot. He believes we can differentiate between
development and bujilding development. It is universally accepted that no home can be built on
an outlot. Each plat should be looked at separately and the intent for the outlot can be clarified at
that time. Uses for eutlots could be put into subdivision covenants as well. Bob Rolle, Town
of Troy, agrees that the uses should be written somewhere so that buyers are aware if anything is
allowed.
Town Road Inspe$tions: The committee reviewed a letter from the Town of Troy attorney, as
well as a letter from'Dan Fedderly, Highway Commissioner. Fisher stated, that in concept, the
county supports the proposal for Troy and St. Joseph to conduct their own inspection of
subdivision roadways. Christopher Bolt, Cedar Corp., is the engineer for the Towns of Troy and
St. Joseph. He said that two agreements are needed — one between the town and county, and one
4
between the town aind their engineer.
Motion by Raymond, second by Malick and carried to have Corporation Counsel draft a
document regarding town inspection of roadways, and bring back to the committee after review
by the Highway Commissioner.
Town of Hammond Escrow Account Request: Motion by Malick, second by Raymond and
carried to approve fthe request for $43,199.69 to be released to the Town of Hammond from their
escrow account for the Town Hall and park area.
Adequacy of Septic Permit inspections: Discussion held on the workload in zoning regarding
the septic prograni The committee believes we need help in the department in order to meet
State requirements on permit inspections and permit applications. Fisher will be speaking with
LeRoy Janske at the state level.
The committee re4essed for lunch from 12:35 p.m. to 1:50 p.m.
Municipal plats: Red Cedar Canyon Third Addition in the NE ' /4 & SE 1 /4, S32, T29N R19W,
City of Hudson. A motion by Malick, seconded by Jensen to certify no objections, conditional
upon the final plat conforming to the Hudson Area Sewer Plan carried.
Violations and Cpitations: The Committee reviewed a report of violations and citations, ranked
by priority. With the septic permit workload, Jon Sonnentag will deal with violations only when
time allows.
Rezoning Schedlling: A hearing was scheduled for September 19 at the Government Center
for the Palmsteen and Dykhouse rezonings. These sites will be viewed on the next van tour.
Piney Woods Su Discussion held on this subdivision. Motion by Malick, second by
Raymond and carried to approve with conditions recommended by staff, as well as the following
condition: Note egarding Outlot to read: Outlot 1 to be utilized as open space for pasturing of
large domestic animals and conform to Town Subdivision Ordinance in effect on the date plat is

Budgets 2001/2102: Fisher told the committee that he is pursuing contracting for a septic permit
position, as suggested by Whiting. Personnel Committee said he should look into this. He will
put money into the budget for this purpose. Fisher will be contacting Cedar Corp and Bonestroo.
Fisher will also be contacting LeRoy Janske at the State. There is also money added to the
budget for equipment and space for the person.

St. Croix County Government Center, Hudson, Wisconsin

Clarence Malick. Staff: Steven Fisher, and Debra Zimmermann. Excused: Art Jensen.
Chair Raymond called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. Motion by Malick, second by Luckey and carried
to adopt the agenda. Raymond explained the hearing process and opened the hearing.
Henry and Bernice Lentz Rezoning — continuation: Fisher read the notice. This is a continuation of a
previous hearing to rezone 214 acres from Ag to Ag/Residential in the Town of St. Joseph. John Arkel, of
Carriage Homes, is a proposed purchaser of the Lentz property. Arkel presented a plan for a proposed
subdivision on the tz property. The subdivision would consist of 48 lots, which would include twin
homes, and single -f mily homes. The developers are looking at using a community septic system, with a
conservation design. They may look at a community water system, as well. Dwight Harvey, with
Carriage Homes, w t over the idea behind the commercial sewer system idea. Their company works
with a person by the name of Curt Sparks, who is very knowledgeable in these types of systems. If the
committee is interes ed, he will be doing a presentation at the Town of St. Joseph on September 25
Keith Relyea, Town 'of St. Joseph resident, stated that he has some issues with this type of system and is
still looking into this Harvey explained that the association fees would cover any cost for repair or
replacement of the s *stem.
Discussion held on t e plans the Department of Transportation has for the re- routing of Highway 35 in
that area. The developers sent a letter to the DOT on this, but have not heard back. Malick said that it is
his understanding tht the Town is not in favor of a "diagonal" plan for the realignment of 35, and that we
support the Town with the DOT.
After further discussipn, the committee asked the owners and developers to look at issues raised about
DOT review of the rdad, Town Plan, cemetery questions, and impact on the schools. Fisher will write
letters to the DOT anti Hudson School District. The committee will schedule another meeting to discuss
this rezoning.
County Concrete: This rezoning was approved at the meeting held on August 28, 1001. The Committee
asked Fisher to draft the findings for review. Fisher went over the draft and received suggestions. This
rezoning will be moved on to County Board at their September 18 meeting.
