February 9, 2001
St. Croix County Government Center, Hudson, Wisconsin

Chairman Raymond called the meeting to order at 10:10 a.m. A motion was made by Jensen,
seconded by Larson and passed, to adopt the agenda.
Chairman Raymond explained that today's meeting is for the Committee to discuss the rezoning
request of Three -Putt LLC. It is not a hearing to take testimony from those present representing
Three -Putt LLC.
Fisher went over the letter sent to Three -Putt, outlining the six items that Committee asked
the applicants to address. Timmerman spoke to the Committee on conditional zoning, and stated
that it is a legal option in Wisconsin; however, contract zoning is not. He talked about the
difference, stating that contract zoning is not enforceable. Timmerman said that it is important
that this rezoning comply with the County Plan and be compatible with surrounding uses.
Fodroczi said that the proposed use for this property is partly compatible with the County Plan.
Part of this land lies in the urban planning area. The part in the rural planning area is near a
major traffic corridor, Highway 65 and I -94, and according to the Plan, commercial and light
industrial uses would be allowed. Therefore, this rezoning request would be consistent with the
County Plan except for the unavailability of sewer and water for the industrial use.
It was discussed that the applicants have requested annexation into the Village of Roberts. At
the present time, there is no legal way to annex this property, as there is no Village land
contiguous to this property. The Village does not have capacity for water and sewer service
either.
A discussion was held on having residential property near commercial and industrial property.
Fodroczi said that this may pose a problem, but could be looked at if there is a buffer area
between the properties. The applicant stated they are willing to look at dropping the residential
rezoning, and just rezoning to commercial and light industrial. The Committee reviewed a map
showing the location of environmental corridors on the property.
A discussion was held on the need for an intersection study and traffic analysis. The DOT has
indicated that it may well conduct such a study near this site in the spring of 2001. The
Committee strongly believes that some study must be done before rezoning of the property can
be completed. This could be a potentially dangerous intersection if plans are not done correctly
from the start.
The Committee directed the staff to look at options available to move this rezoning process
forward. Staff is to prepare a draft conditional zoning memorandum listing the exact conditions.
The Committee felt it was important to limit industrial uses to light industrial uses and exclude
uses that would be better served on municipal sewer and water. They should find out from the
DOT what type of study would be required to address traffic issues. Staff is to work with the
i

applicant on this request so that it moves forward and a decision can be made. Staff will report
back at a future meeting.
Scheduling meetings /viewings: The Committee requested an update on the Villafana (Birch
Park) rezoning at the next meeting on February 13 Staff is to ask the applicant for an update,
too. Viewings of upcoming rezonings will be conducted on February 13
Homestead Park at Perch Lake:
Pete Kling addressed the Committee regarding road issues at Homestead Park. He met with
Fedderly on February 5. Highway has been talking to Pember Excavating about extending the
contract to get the road done in a timely manner. The project suddenly appears over budget.
Kling put together a list of actual costs and shared it with Fedderly. The Committee instructed
Kling to work with Highway, and Rich Loney. It is extremely important to move forward on this
project. If needed, this will be brought to County Board in March.
A motion was made at 1:00 p.m. by Larson, seconded by Raymond and passed, to adjourn.
Respectfully submitted
