Dear Mr. Woolsey and Ms. Allers:
Recycling
715-386-4675 This letter confirms zoning approval according to plans submitted on March 31,
2011 for the following activities that require a land use permit:
To replace a Private On-site Wastewater Treatment System (POWTS) in the
Lower St. Croix Riverway District pursuant to Section 17.36.F.2.a.1) of the
St. Croix County Zoning Ordinance and standards in Section 17.36.H.9.
According to the plans your engineer submitted on March 31 st, the proposed
r project consists of replacing an aged septic tank and seepage pit with a new
`K code-compliant POWTS. The original system pre-dates our permitting records,
but is likely more than 30 years old.
Staff finds that the proposed activities meet the applicable St. Croix County Zoning
Ordinances and the Lower St. Croix Riverway District based on the following
findings:
1. The property consists of a -v0.5-acre combined lot, is zoned Ag/Residential,
and is located in the Rural Residential Management Zone of the Lower St.
Croix Riverway District;
2. On February 15, 2011, a memo from Planning & Zoning Director Dave
Fodroczi to the towns of Hudson, St. Joseph, Somerset, and Troy provided
notification of the intent to authorize replacement of existing POWTS in the
Riverway District using both a sanitary permit and a land use permit issued
by state-certified county code administration staff.
3. The proposed replacement POWTS will eliminate the existing septic system
