the Lower St. Croix Riverway District
Code Administration Parcel #35.30.20.609G Computer #030-2067-10-000 in Town of St. Joseph

Dear Mr. O'Brien:
Land Information &
Planning This letter confirms zoning approval according to plans submitted on May 11, 2012 for
715-386-4674 the following activities that require a land use permit:
RealPropenf To remodel a conforming principal structure in the Lower St. Croix Riverway
715-386-4677 District in the Town of St. Joseph pursuant to Section 17.36.F.2.a.1) and
Recycling 17.36.F.2.a.2) of the St. Croix County Zoning Ordinance and standards pursuant
715-386-4675 to Section 17.36.1-1.1.
According to the site plan and narrative, the proposed project consists of reconstruction
of a front porch roof and stairs outside the 40-foot bluffline setback.
Staff finds that the proposed activities meet the St. Croix County Zoning Ordinance and
the Lower St. Croix Riverway District based on the following findings:
1. The property consists of a 1.77 acre riparian lot that is zoned Ag/Residential and is
located in the Rural Residential Management Zone of the Lower St. Croix
Riverway District;
2. The existing principal structure is more than 200 feet from the OHWM of the St.
Croix River, greater than 25' from any property line, and is greater than 40 feet
from the bluffline pursuant to requirements in Section 17.36.G.5.c.a);
3. The proposed building construction will replace an existing front porch roof and
stairs and remove a portion of an existing deck on the southerly side of the house,
which will not affect slope preservation zones or encroach into the bluffline setback
and will be parallel to the bluffline;
4. The proposed reconstructed porch roof will not exceed the maximum height in
compliance with Section 17.13(3) and 17.36.G.4a.1 as shown in construction
drawings submitted. With conditions that the structure does not protrude above
the bluffline as viewed from near mid-river, that windows and building materials on
the structure utilize earth-tone colors and non-reflective surfaces, this project will
meet standards in Sections17.36 G.5.c.2)a) and 17.36 H.1 with regard to being
visually inconspicuous;
5. The Town of St. Joseph bU ldrng inspector will review the submitted,plans and land

use permit prior to issuance of a building`permit for the town;
6. Steve Olson, Land & Water Conservation Dept., reviewed the application and performed a site visit
on May 23, 2012. The LWCD has no comments on the request since the net increase in
impervious coverage appears to be less than 100 sq. feet, excavation is minimal for the site and
current vegetation and screening appear to be adequate. Utilizing existing planting beds around
perimeter of the house foundation will provide stormwater runoff control consistent with
requirements in Section 17.36 H.7.;
7. Mike Wenholz of the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources has reviewed the application and
discussed the project with zoning staff to verify the determination of a conforming principal structure;
8. The applicant proposes use of sediment logs where necessary for erosion and sediment control, which
will be installed to control runoff from the construction area and contain it on the applicant's property;
9. If constructed as proposed, this project will meet the spirit and intent of the Lower St. Croix Riverway
District. It will not degrade the scenic, recreational, or natural values of the St. Croix River Valley, nor
will it negatively affect the public health, safety and welfare of County residents.
This land use permit approval is for remodeling of a conforming principal structure, as indicated in the plans
submitted, and as provided in the conditions below:
1. Prior to commencing construction, the applicants and/or their general contractor shall obtain any
other permits required, including but not limited to a building permit from the Town of St. Joseph;
2. Any areas of disturbed soil must be stabilized with temporary cover to prevent erosion until
permanent vegetation consisting of native species can be established per 17.36.H.7.e.4 and
17.36.H.8.
3. The finished porch roof shall not exceed the maximum roof height allowed in county ordinance
Sections 17.13(3) and 17.36.G.4.
4. All siding, shingles, trim, and other appurtenances of the structure, including the roof, shall be earth
tone in color and of a non-reflective nature (not a polished surface), with windows that are not more
reflective than ordinary window glass, so as not to be visually conspicuous from the St. Croix River
pursuant to Sections 17.36 G.5.c.2)a) and 17.36 H.1 of the Ordinance.
5. Within 30 days of substantially completing the proposed remodeling project, the applicant shall
submit to the Zoning Administrator certification from the contractor that the construction has been
done in `compliance with the approved plans. Photos of the completed project must be submitted to
the Zoning Administrator to document compliance with permit conditions.
6. All activities approved as part of this land use permit shall commence within one year from the date
of approval and be substantially completed within two years, after which time the permit expires
pursuant to Section 17.36.J.7 of the Ordinance. Prior to expiration, the applicant may request
extensions of up to six months from the Zoning Administrator. The total time granted for extensions
shall not exceed one year.
7. Failure to comply with the conditions above may result in the revocation of this permit pursuant to
Section 17.3,6 J.8mb_of, the,. Ordinance._., . . w_ n . . ;
