SEE ATTACHED LEGAL DESCRIPTION
Based on the following findings:
1. There has been a commercial use on this property since 1988.
2. The St. Croix County Board of Adjustment granted a special exception permit on October 27, 1988 for a
commercial use on this property, stating that the property was commercially zoned.
3. In a letter dated October 24, 1988, the Town of St. Joseph recommended that a special exception permit be granted
for a commercial use on this property.
4. The County acknowledges the special exception permit to allow a commercial use of the property and believes steps
need to be taken to rezone the entire property to commercial.
5. The tax records indicate that this property has been taxed as a commercial property.
6. The applicant is agreeable to combine the two parcels that are under common ownership, and has also agreed to
ensure there is adequate buffering between it and adjacent residentially zoned land.
7. Commercial zoning exists to the north and to the east. A commercial business use exists to the north.
8. Ag/Residential zoning exists to the north, west and south.
9. The rezoning would be compatible with the historical uses of the property and is generally compatible with the other
commercial uses in the area.
10. The owner /applicant is on notice that any commercial use occupying this property is required to apply for and obtain
a special exception permit. Special exception permits are reviewed by the Town and forwarded to the County for
final approval.
11. The Town has indicated that there may have been a new commercial "use" utilizing the property since 1988 that did
not receive the required special exception permit.
12. The Town's position is that the commercial zoning is not compatible with the residential use on the west and
requests a 73 -foot buffer along the western boundary of the commercially zoned property.
With the following conditions:
1. The owner is to maintain a natural buffer area 73 -feet in width along the western boundary of the property to buffer
the commercial property from the adjacent ag/residential housing development (see attached map). No
improvements or commercial use may be made of the buffer area (storage, etc.), excepting landscaping or screening
that may be required as part of a special exception permit. The existing trees along the western property line within
the setback/buffer shall be protected and maintained. If any existing trees are lost, they must be replaced with 8 ft.
minimum height of like tree species within 5 feet of the original location.
2. Any use on this property is required to obtain a County special exception permit pursuant to Section 17.18 of the St.
Croix County Zoning Ordinance. Section 17.18(1)(f)6 states that "Any commercial lot that abuts or is across from a
residential area shall have perimeter landscape screening that will substantially screen parking areas and headlights
from vehicles; ". Appropriate and adequate screening will be required to be put in place pursuant to the requirements
set forth in the ordinance and as requested by the Board of Adjustments.
3. Owner is to combine the 100 ft x 150 ft parcel (located in the southern corner of the property) with the balance of
the land, on a certified survey map, creating one contiguous property under one ownership. Lot consolidation to
follow county rules /policies.
4. The owner is to demonstrate that the unused well on the property has been properly abandoned.
THEREFORE, BE IT NOW ORDAINED by the St. Croix County Board of Supervisors, meeting in regular
session, that the 2.5 acre parcel is now rezoned from Ag/Residential to Commercial
Dated this / day of /1?d.A.61A , 2003.
