Minor Subdivisions See Attachment A
Major Subdivisions See Attachment B
Zoning Bills, Invoices and Revenue: Motion by Jensen, second by Larson and carried to
approve November bills in the amount of $11,787.84 and revenue in the amount of $34.439.00.
Violations /Citations: The committee reviewed the report. Jon Sonnentag continues to devote most of his
time to septic permits. The committee will continue to be updated monthly.
The committee recessed from 10:05 a.m. to 10:30 a.m.
20% Slopes in Subdivisions: Greg Timmerman joined the group to discuss this topic. Fisher told the
committee that he could fmd nothing in the statutes about this issue. Fisher gave background on how the
disturbance of 20% slopes is addressed today. He realizes that the ordinance states that a special exception
permit from the Board of Adjustment is needed for disturbance of slopes in excess of 20 %, but said that this
is also addressed in the subdivision ordinance. Staff believes that to have the Board of Adjustment review
this is redundant, and costly for the developer. The plats are being reviewed at the technical review level by
engineers, staff, Highway Department and the Land and Water Conservation Depai tuient. The review is
thorough, and they are careful not to allow any grading in areas where there are environmentally sensitive
issues. Usually, the 20% slopes are graded due to a driveway or road meandering through that area.
Raymond added that the review process is much more rigorous than before, and believes the process to be
thorough.
A lengthy discussion was held on whether or not the current interpretation meets the requirements of the
ordinance. There was also discussion on contiguous area for buildable sites, and how that is determined.
There was concern expressed by some committee members that erosion control practices cannot be
monitored closely, due to the lack of staff, and that the ordinance provision of 18.16 (H)(2) requiring one
single contiguous buildable area capable of accommodating the building site, the entire onsite septic system,
and the driveway connection to the road is not being followed. Timmerman said that 20% slopes are not
defined as environmentally sensitive areas, and thinks that the ordinance allows the county to be reasonable
about this. Timmerman further stated that contiguous areas can be created. There is discretion for
driveways, septics, etc. to be placed in areas where if grading is needed, it would be allowed. It is
understood that a "stand alone" project would need to go through the special exception process, as there is
not the extensive review on those projects, as there is on a plat. Timmerman suggested to the committee
that they identify what the problems really are, and discuss again at afuture meeting. The committee agreed
to place on the agenda for the January 22nd meeting.
1
Town of Troy and St. Joseph issues: Timmerman told the committee that he is working on the
agreements for these two towns. He said that there have been some issues with Troy that he is working
on. They have indicated that they would like to hold the escrow for the erosion control, and Timmerman
is not comfortable with that. He would rather see the escrow remain with the county. Fisher will check
with the Town of Troy on this and get back to Timmerman.
Timmerman told the committee that there are also some issues relating to outlots with the Town of Troy.
He reminded the committee that there is a joint relationship for approving plats between the town and
county, but the most restrictive provision is what is used. Troy needs to be specific about what they
would like to allow on outlots.
These issues will be placed on a future agenda for more discussion.
2001/2002 Budgets: Fisher told the committee that he will have the contract for the septic inspector ready
for their review next month. It has been a difficult task, as no other county in the state has done this before.
Subdivision Fee Schedule: A discussion was held on billing for surveyor review fees for subdivision
review. The Finance Committee has indicated that they would like to see zoning directly b111 for
surveyor fees. Discussion held. The committee asked Fisher to talk to Dan Fedderly to see if there is a
possibility that Highway can direct bill for their time. Fisher will update the committee after talking to
Fedderly.
Minutes: Luckey asked Zimmermann to check with the Clerk's office to see if the correct copy of the
October 24th minutes was sent to County Board.
Motion by Larson, second Jensen to adjourn at 11:50 a.m.

Committee Present: Ronald Raymond, Gerald Larson, Art Jensen, Linda Luckey, C. W. Malick
Staff Present: Steve Fisher
Chairman Raymond called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. A motion was made by Luckey and
seconded by Jensen and carried to adopt the agenda. The upcoming meeting for this Committee is
July 24 2001. Chairman Raymond gave an explanation of the rezoning process and opened the
hearing. Steve Fisher read the notice into the record.
REQUEST NO. 1
Randy and Sandra Roquette to rezone approximately 40 +/- acres of land from Agriculture to
Agriculture II.
Location: A parcel of land located in part of the NE 1/4 of the SW 1 /4 of Section 17, T28N -R16W,
Town of Eau Galle, St. Croix County, Wisconsin.
Randy Roquette, 2134 County Road N, Baldwin, stated that he would like to sell this off for a
building site as, the land is poor cropland. Fisher went over the staff report and GIS map, stating
that the Town of Eau Galle and Eau Galle Planning Commission have reviewed and approved
this request under State Statute 91.77. It is staffs opinion that this is a suitable site for rezoning.
Luckey had questions on the septic system. Mr. Roquette stated that they have had a soil report
completed which proved that a mound system would work on this site.
The hearing was recessed. A motion by Malick was seconded by Luckey to table the decision
until the July 24 Planning, Zoning and Parks Committee meeting.
Raymond reopened the hearing
REQUEST NO. 2
Steven Lee to rezone approximately 1 +/- acre of land from Ag/Residential to Commercial.
Location: The SE 1/4 of the NW '/a, Section 25, T30N -R15W, Town of Glenwood, St. Croix
County, Wisconsin.
Jim Luepke, Glenwood Town Chairman, stated that the Town of Glenwood has recommended
approval based on State Statute 91.77. This rezoning is to correct an error to the zoning map to
allow Mr. Lee to bring his business into compliance. This business has been in operation for over
30 years.
Steve Fisher went over the staff report and stated that this request does comply with the County
Plan and would recommend approval.
The hearing was recessed.
-1-
A motion made by Jensen was seconded by Malick to recommend approval of the request to the
County Board for the August 21, 2001 meeting. Motion to approve is based on the following
findings:
1. The site is an existing commercial operation that was not identified on the Town of
Glenwood's original zoning map.
2. The City of Glenwood City surrounds the site, on almost all four sides.
3. The parcel is located and accesses on State Trunk Highway 170.
4. The rezoning is sponsored and paid for by the Town of Glenwood to correct the mapping
error.
5. Further development of the site is limited by the one -acre parcel size.
6. The Town Board has reviewed the rezoning and is in favor.
7. The zoning on this site should be corrected to avoid a nonconforming use situation.
8. Approval of this rezoning immediately is justified, as there is a pending sale of this
property, and the Town indicated that this was a mapping error made by the Town. The
Town indicated that this property should have been zoned commercial on the original
official Town zoning map.
Raymond reopened the hearing.
REQUEST NO. 3
Richard Krampert to rezone approximately 40 acres +1- acres of land from Agriculture to Ag-II.
Location: The W 1/2 of the SE Y4, Section 23, T31N -R17W, Town of Stanton, St. Croix County,
Wisconsin.
Richard Krampert, 1890 200 Avenue, New Richmond, stated that he would like his property
rezoned for two 20 acre parcels, stating that this is poor farmland.
Chris Nelson, 2056 County Road T, a neighbor of Mr. Krampert, is in favor of this rezoning.
Raymond asked for comments from anyone opposing this request. None were heard.
Fisher went over the staff report. The Town of Stanton has conditionally approved this request
contingent on the soils classification. Fisher went over the GIS map, which indicates that the soil
types are for prime farmland. The Town plan only allows one parcel to be developed in a 10 -year
period on lands classified as prime. Fisher stated that this site is only eligible for one building
site per the town plan.
A motion by Malick and seconded by Jensen to close the hearing. Motion carried.
Raymond stated it would be best to rezone only 20 acres, as this is what is consistent with Town
and County Plans. A motion to table the decision was made by Malick and seconded by Jensen.
Motion carried.
All requests will be forwarded to County Board meeting on August 21, 2001.
At July 24 PZPC meeting the following items will be discussed:
1) 35 acre minimum requirement in Ag District
-2-
2) Carpenter Nature Center Wisconsin DNR grant request
•
3) Tower ordinance
4) Personnel Actions
5) Budget Issues
A motion by Larson was seconded by Malick and passed, to adjourn the meeting at 7:45 .
