Box 89 New Richmond, WI 54017 Attn: Steve West, Landsted Companies LLC Code Administratiolr Re: Land Use Permit for Filling and Grading in the Shoreland District 715-386-4680 993 152nd Ave., Lot 67 in the Glens of Willow River Subdivision Land Information t Parcel #18.30.18.1674, Town of Richmond Planning 715-386-4674 Dear Mr. West: RealPropcrcy This letter confirms zoning approval according to the plans you have submitted for 715-386-4677 filling and grading an area of approximately 9,940 square feet within 300 feet of the Ordinary High Water Mark (OHWM) of the Willow River to construct a single-family cyGling Re 7115-35-3866- -4675 dwelling, Private On-site Wastewater Treatment Systems (POWTS) and driveway on the property referenced above in the Town of Richmond. 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 less than 300 feet from the OHWM on slopes less than 24.9 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. The filling and grading required for excavating the driveway and construction of a single-family dwelling located within 300 feet of the OHWM of the Willow River is subject to Shoreland zoning requirements. The private on-site wastewater treatment system (POWTS) will be outside the 300' zone. The house will be above the floodplain elevation and will not be subject to Floodplain ordinance requirements. The proposed single-family dwelling and POWTS meet all required setbacks and dimensional standards provided in the St. Croix County Zoning Ordinance; 3. The applicant submitted an erosion control and storm water management plan featuring infiltration basins to receive discharge from impervious surface runoff. With conditions to install appropriate Best Management Practices (BMP) for sediment control e.g. silt fence or sediment "logs" between the construction area and the conservation easement above the river, to maintain erosion control measures until self-sustaining permanent vegetation is established on all disturbed areas, to prohibit the use of phosphorous fertilizer to establish and maintain a lawn, to implement the storm water management plan, and record a maintenance and monitoring agreement against the property for the infiltration structures, negative impacts to the water quality of the river will be minimized; ST. CROIX COUNTY GOVERNMENT CENTER 1 101 CARMICHAEL ROAD, HUDSON, W1 54016 715-3864686 FAX PZ@CO.SAINT-CRO1X. W1. US WWW.CO.SAINT-CROIX.VILUS 4. The bank of the river below the propose house location a6d within the established con easement is vegetated and will remain undisturbed. With conditions for maintaining the current level of vegetative cover along the river bank to preserve wildlife habitat and provide further filtration of storm water runoff from the site, the natural beauty and ecology of the river will be protected and consistent with the standards in the Shoreland District; 5. The St. Croix County Land and Water Conservation Department has reviewed the plans and discussed options for assimilating stormwater runoff from impervious surfaces. Steve Olson, Rural Lied Specialist, commented that the applicant has adequately addressed the increase volume of stormwater runoff, that the proposed perimeter erosion control shall be maintained until the site has re-established self-sustaining vegetation, and the applicant shall record an affidavit on the deed to the property to provide for long-term operation and maintenance of the infiltration basins; 6. The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources has reviewed the plans and commented that if there will be greater than 10, 000 sq ft of grading within 300' of the Willow River, the property owner will need to apply for a grading permit. There are mapped wetlands along the river as well, so the property owner must prove they will not be disturbing or working in the wetlands and will have proper erosion control so sediment will not leave the site and head into the wetlands or the river. Also, if they disturb more than 1 acre with this project, a DNR storm water permit will be needed. Based on these findings, approval of the land use permit is subject to the following conditions: 1. The applicant shall be responsible for implementing the erosion control and storm water management plan submitted, and as provided in the conditions below. 2. The applicant shall install silt fencing, straw waddles, and/or sediment logs as needed for control of contaminated runoff from the construction areas for the proposed house and POWTS. 3. The applicant shall maintain all erosion and sediment control measures until permanent, self- sustaining vegetation is successfully established on all disturbed areas of the site. 4. No phosphorous fertilizers shall be used on the disturbed areas of the site, unless a soil test confirms that phosphorous is needed. 5. The current level of native trees, shrubs, and groundcover along the river bank and within the delineated conservation easement shall be maintained. 6. Within 30 days of completing construction, the applicant shall execute and record an affidavit against the property referencing the operation and maintenance plan for the stormwater infiltration structures with the Register of Deeds, and provide the Zoning Administrator with recorded copies of these documents. 7. Within 60 days of completing construction, the applicant shall submit to the Zoning Administrator photos of the completed project as viewed from all angles. The photographs must also show all storm water management measures and vegetation on the site. ST. CRO/X COUNTY GOVERNMENT CENTER 1 101 CARM/CHAEL ROAD, HUDSON, W/ 54016 715386-4686 FAA PZPCO.
