The request was heard on March 21st and was tabled for further information. Fisher went over the letter that was sent to the Heebinks on March 22nd stating what was needed to move forward with the request. The Town of Eau Galle has recommended approval of the request, and has considered §91.77. Staff was directed by the Committee to contact the Village of Baldwin to see if they would be looking at annexing this property in the near future. In a letter dated April 11th, the Village stated that they had no immediate plan to do so. Fisher went over the map from the Department of Transportation. Ellen Denzer, Planning Department, stated concerns addressed by Land and Water Conservation. Discussion held. Motion by Larson, second by Jensen and carried to approve and move forward to the County Board based on the following findings: Based on the following findings: 1. The Town of Eau Galle has recommended approval of the rezoning request, stating that Wis. Stat 91.77 has been met. 2. The rezoning is consistent with the Town and County Plan. 3. The parcel is not identified on the primary environmental corridor map. 4. The surrounding land uses include a commercial trucking firm to the west, a large restaurant facility to the northwest, three large acreage residential sites and farmland. 5. The County Plan recommends that commercial areas in the rural planning area be located on or near state or federal highways. This site is approximately a quarter mile from STH 63. 6. The property is in close proximity to the Village of Baldwin and future annexation is a possibility. With the following condition: 1. Approval must be obtained by the St. Croix County Land and Water Conservation Department with regard to surface water runoff and ground water issues. Heilkema Rezoning: Supervisor Jensen excused himself from this item, declaring a possible conflict of interest. Fisher updated the Committee that the hearing on this rezoning was held on March 21, 2001 to rezone 80 acres from Ag to Ag/Residential. The applicant has since decided not to rezone the NE 40 acres. Fisher told the Committee that in the Town of Baldwin, only two lots are allowed in a five -year period. Staff reviewed the concept plan with the Committee, stating the concerns they have with rezoning the entire 40 acres. Discussion held. Staff supports rezoning two lots, as that conforms with the town and county plan. Motion by Malick, second by Luckey to approve rezoning of two lots (preferably 3 and 4) on the concept map, which amounts to approximately six acres based on the following findings: 1. The Town of Baldwin has recommended approval of the rezoning request, stating that Wis. Stat. 91.77 has been met. 2. All the property is in the rural planning area and may be an appropriate use. 3. The parcel is not identified on the primary environmental corridor map. 4. The surrounding land uses include a church, three small acreage residential sites and farmland. 5. The applicant states that only two lots would be sold very five years to meet the Town of Baldwin Subdivision Ordinance, which allows two lots in five years. 6. The applicant could consider a two -lot certified survey map with two lots either adjacent to the existing small acreage lots on 90th Avenue, shown as lots 5, 6 or 7 on the concept plan. Or, if suitable for onsite treatment, two lots east of the drainage area, shown as lots 3 and 4 on the concept plan. The motion passed. The request will be forwarded to the August County Board meeting. Merlin Frank Rezoning: This request was heard on June 6, 2001 to rezone 13.3 acres of property from Ag to Ag/Residential. The Committee tabled a decision in this matter, pending more information on soils, due to the Town's rules. After review by the Land and Water Conservation Department, it was determined that 55% of the soils were considered prime farmland. The Town of Stanton prohibits subdivision on prime farmland, with the exception of one lot in 10 years. A discussion was held on how the soils on the property were determined. Tom Dorsey, County Board Chairman, stated that according to the town, the soils were determined by the "old" soils book, and the county used the "newer" criteria. The town believes the soils to be such that over 50% of the land is not farmable. Merlin Frank agreed with Dorsey, and added that there is a waterway on the property that interferes with the farming of this particular parcel. Frank has planted trees on this parcel, as it was very difficult to farm. He further agreed that he would go along with the town rules of selling 2 lots in 5 years if this rezoning is approved. According to Frank, a report that he received from the conservation office stated that the soils were not good for farmland. Discussion held. Motion by Malick, second by Luckey to table the request in order to have clarification on the soils, using both old and new criteria, and bring back to the Committee. Motion carried. Three Putt Rezoning: Fisher handed out a copy of the draft plan for the Town of Warren land use for the future, that was put together by Ayres and Associates. Fisher told the Committee that this is a complex, major rezoning and believes more information is needed to make a good decision. A lengthy discussion was held on traffic that may be generated by this rezoning. The Committee reviewed a map showing the proposed plan for the property, as well as information relating to the septic issue for this project. A discussion was held on commercial and residential property in the same area. VanBeek explained why they felt this was a good idea. There will be a new park, ball fields and a town hall going in on the adjoining property, near the area designated for residential housing, and they believe that if the residential area is screened properly from the commercial and industrial areas, it would be an ideal area for multi - family housing. The committee asked the staff to look into getting a figure on how many trips per day would be generated in this area if the rezoning is approved. Another issue the committee had is the setback for the new highway, and how that would play into the plans submitted. Motion by Malick, second by Luckey to direct the staff to bring a proposal to the committee for the commercial and industrial areas only, 10 -acres of each, with suggested conditions. It was suggested by the committee that the total septic usage should be 12,000 gallons - per -day, and staff should consider setting a traffic limit on the property. The motion carried. Fisher asked the applicants to present a plan that would work for them, with the criteria set by the committee. The committee recessed from 1:25 p.m. to 2:40 p.m. Zoning Bills, Invoices and Revenue: Motion by Malick, second by Larson and carried to approve May bills in the amount of $17,298.31 and revenue in the amount of $50,861.70. Violations and Citations:The Committee reviewed the status report of violations and citations. Cell Tower Ordinance: Malick handed out a copy of the revised proposed tower ordinance and information gathered at the hearing. Discussion on why co- location seems not to be happening although the present ordinance all but requires it. Discussion on having stealth and monopole design throughout the county. Malick will revise and bring back to the committee. Parks Dept.: Raymond spoke with Pete Kling, and said that a DNR permit is not needed for the beach trail at Perch Lake. Kling will be writing a contract with Pember for the beach trail and beach work, contingent on getting the DNR permit for the beach area. Kling will bring the contract to the committee for their review. The committee reviewed the job descriptions for the parks department jobs, and had a few changes to forward to the Personnel Department. Grant went over the plans for the Wildwood Trail repairs. He has received bids from the Highway Department, B & S Construction and Timme, Inc. No Chapter 30 Permit is needed from the DNR, as they already have one. Motion by Jensen, second by Larson and carried to send a letter of acceptance to the low bidder (B & S Construction), conditioned 1) 10% overrun allowed with justification; 2) completion date of one month; 3)changes to come back to Committee. Grant updated the committee on the Troy Park flood damages. The FEMA officials have looked at the damage, and made suggestions. The building on the property needs a new roof and a new wall. If the mitigation project is approved, rip rapping should be done on about 400 to 500 feet of the shore, new sand should be brought into the beach area, and the parking lot should be fixed. This project would need engineered plans, as well as a Chapter 30 Permit from the DNR. If this is approved by FEMA, the Federal and State would pay for 87 ' /z% of the project, and the county would pay for 12 %2 %. Consequently, on a $100,000 project, the county would be responsible for about $12,500. The committee directed Grant to continue to work with FEMA, look into bids from engineers, and talk to the Land and Water Conservation Department to move this forward. Municipal Plats: The committee reviewed plats and the following action was taken: Somerset Meadows in the NE ' / 4 S4, and the NW '/a S3, all in T3 IN RI 7W, Village of Somerset. A motion to certify no objection was made by Malick, second by Larson and carried. No opinion is expressed concerning adequate sewer service. Town of Warren Zoning Map: Fisher explained that the Town has inconsistent maps, that create ongoing problems. He presented a Resolution approving correction of the Town of Warren Zoning Map. Motion by Malick, second by Raymond to table until reviews are completed by Zoning, Planning and Corporation Counsel. 3 Town of Star Prairie Escrow Account: The Town of Star Prairie is asking for $1,000 to be released from their escrow account to contribute to the City of New Richmond towards their Multi Purpose Pathway for the New Richmond area. Motion by Jensen, second by Larson and carried to release money requested.

Center: County Concrete (Warren) August 15 at Hudson Gov. Center: Lentz (St.Joseph), Springbrook Corp. (Somerset) All hearings to start at 7:00 p.m. Road Inspections/Road Escrow Funds: Fisher told the committee that the Towns of St. Joseph and Troy have requested to do their own road inspections and take in escrow funds. They have their own engineers, and believe they should be able to do this. Fisher has contacted the County Highway Department, and is waiting to hear from Dan Fedderly. The committee asked for this to be on a future agenda. 2002 Budget: Fisher asked for the committee's support to hire one full -time zoning technician to help with septic system installations and issuing of permits.
