BUSINESS ITEMS
Wildlife Damage Claim - 2011: Heise reminded the committee of the two damage claims that
were brought forth at the last meeting. Now the third and last claim is being presented today.
Arteka Nurseries has $14,000 in damages, but will only receive the $10,000 limit. This is the
first time the Nursery has enrolled and applied for the Wildlife Damage program. Heise also
discussed with the Nursery manager, different abatement options for this year and future years to
try and avoid a large claim again. Heise explained that the dollars used in this Wildlife Damage
program come from hunting license fees. Peavey questioned why the owner of the Nursery did
not sign the claim. Norton- Bauman suggested that no payment be sent until the owner and the
Wildlife Damage consultant sign the claim. Motion by Norton- Bauman, 2nd by Marzolf
approving the claim with the stipulation that Heise gets the signatures of both the owner and
consultant before submitting the claim to the State. Motion carried.
Housing & Cultural Resources Elements — Comprehensive Plan: Denzer started with the
background information and welcomes any comments, suggestions or changes from the
committee. The goals and objectives were drafted by staff with the help of the Regional Planning
Commission. Denzer began with the Cultural Resources Element and highlighted points with the
committee and asked if there was anything more to add to list. Chair Hermsen thought the list
should expand to include logging and mining. The committee provided suggestions that Denzer
will incorporate. The document is open for changes until it is adopted. Denzer than moved to
the Housing Element of the Comprehensive Plan and reiterated that the committee can make
changes, but most of what is already in the plan, along with the detail, has to stay in. The
committee provided comments and suggestions, which Denzer will incorporate by the next
committee meeting for final review.
ANNOUNCEMENTS AND CORRESPONDENCE: Denzer announced that City of New
Richmond and the Town of Star Prairie have reached the point where they will hold a public
hearing on their boundary agreement. There will a serious of three meetings at the Star Prairie
Town hall starting on March 25 with an open house 1:00 to 3:00 p.m., then another open house on
March 27 4:30 to 6:00 p.m. followed by the public hearing at 6:30 p.m. The only baring it should
have is that the area of the boundary agreement should be taken out of all County authority, as if it is
incorporated. Sanitary authority remains with the County, but zoning should be under city authority
along with subdivisions, but the agreement is not written that way. Denzer encouraged the
committee to attend.
ADJOURN: Chair Hermsen adjourned the meeting at 6:14 p.m.
DATE OF NEXT MEETING: March 15, 2012 — 6:00 p.m., at the Baldwin AG Center.
