Balsam Lake, WI 54810 Re: Land Use Permit Addendum to a Special Exception for Filling & Grading >10,000 sq. ft. in the Shoreland District, Town of Somerset Code Administration Parcel 15.31.19.1272 Lot 1 of Oak Haven Subdivision 715-386-4680 Land Information Dear Mr. and Mrs. Jorgenson: Planning 715-386-4674 This letter confirms zoning approval according plans submitted by your agent, John Schmitt Real Propertf of Schmitt & Sons Excavating, on September 2, 2011 of an addendum to allow filling and 715-386-4677 grading an area <10,000 square feet on slopes less than 25 percent to prepare a site for the construction of a single-family dwelling, driveway, and Private On-site Wastewater Recycling Treatment System (POWTS) on the property referenced above. The proposed disturbed area 715-386-4675 is part of a larger project area for which you have also submitted a special exception application. The property is located on Lot 1 of Oak Haven Subdivision, which is within 1000 feet of two unnamed ponds. Both of these ponds are on the south side of 210t` Ave., which intercepts any stormwater runoff from Oak Haven and directs it easterly along the road ditch and does not discharge into either pond. Staff finds that the proposed project meets the spirit and intent of the St. Croix County Zoning Ordinance and Shoreland District with the following findings: 1. Filling and grading less than 10,000 square feet in area on slopes less than 25 percent is allowed with a land use permit in the Shoreland District pursuant to Section 17.29(2)(c) of the St. Croix County Zoning Ordinance; 2. Filling and grading any area equal to or greater than 10,000 square feet shall require a special exception permit in the Shoreland District pursuant to Section 17.29(2)(d) of the St. Croix County Zoning Ordinance; 3. Pursuant to General Zoning Section 17.12(7) any construction or land disturbance of >10,000 square feet on slopes from 12% to 19.9% requires a land use permit; 4. The proposed building site is on slopes of less than 20 percent; 5. The grading limits for the proposed construction area is >500 feet from the OHWM of two unnamed ponds/wetlands to the east and south and stormwater runoff does not drain directly to either pond; 6. The erosion control plan utilizes extensive vegetative buffer and perimeter sediment control measures to prevent sedimentation of a drainage easement on the southeast portion of the lot that provides stormwater management for the subdivision. With conditions for maintaining sediment and erosion control measures during construction until self-sustaining permanent vegetation is established on all disturbed areas, prohibiting the use of phosphorous fertilizer to establish and maintain a lawn on the disturbed areas, and implementing any conditions in the special exception permit for long-term storm water management, there will be no negative impacts to the water quality of navigable waters in the area; ST. CRO/X COUNTY GOVERNMENT CENTER 1 10 1 CARMICHAEL ROAD, HUDSON, Wi 54016 715386.46861 PZPCO.SA/NT-CRO/X. W1. US WWW.CO.SAINTCROM WI 7. Tho- Lana and Water Conservation Department has reviewed the Richard Jorgan6,ai land use permit and special exception permit application and find the stormwater and erosion control plans adequate for the site. 'Hie LWCD recommends a condition for the special exception permit that no grading and filling or vegetation alteration is permitted in the drainage easement, this would include mowing. The deep rooted vegetation established in the drainage easement is a key component in controlling on-site runoff and promoting infiltration of stormwater; 8. The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources has been sent a copy of the application and will provide their comments and recommendations prior to the public hearing for the special exception request. Based on these findings, approval of this land use permit is subject to the following conditions: 1. The applicants shall contact the Zoning Administrator prior to commencing construction and when the initial pliase of construction has been completed. The filling and grading may not exceed 10,000 square feet until the applicant has obtained approval by the Board of Adjustment for a special exception permit. 2. Prior to commencing construction, the applicants shall install erosion and sediment control measures in accordance with the approved plans and shall provide additional erosion control measures as necessary to ensure that sediment is not allowed to be transported into the drainage easement area or beyond the applicant's property boundary. All erosion control measures shall be maintained until permanent, self- sustaining vegetation is successfully established on all disturbed areas of the site. Prior to commencing excavation for the driveway and house foundation, the applicant shall secure and comply with any other required local, state, or federal permits and approvals, including but not limited to a building permit. 4. No phosphorous fertilizers shall be used to establish and maintain a lawn on the disturbed areas of the site, unless a soil test confirms that phosphorous is needed. Upon completing the initial filling and grading proposed for the land use permit application, the applicants shall submit to the Zoning Administrator photos of the excavated area and erosion control measures as viewed from all angles. This approval does not allow for any additional construction, grading, filling, or clearing of vegetation beyond the limits of this request. Any remaining site work above and beyond the 9,999 square feet identified as part of this land use permit application shall be addressed as part of the special exception permit application and shall be subject to the additional conditions of that permit upon approval by the St. Croix County Board of Adjustment. Your information will remain on file in the St. Croix County Planning and Zoning Department. It is your responsibility to ensure compliance with any other local, state, or federal rules or regulations, including but not limited to obtaining a town building permit, County sanitary permit, and any permits that may be required by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources.
