715-386-4675 Riverway District in the Town of Troy pursuant to Section 17.36.F.2.a.1 of the St.
Croix County Zoning Ordinance.
According to the plans you submitted, the proposed reconstruction consists of
demolition of a burned garage/pool house, rebuilding a garage/guest house over the
existing footprint, and reconnecting the structure to an existing POWTS.
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 3.18 acre lot, is zoned Ag/Residential, and is located in
the Rural Residential Management Zone of the Lower St. Croix Riverway District;
2. The former garage structure was hit by lightning and destroyed by fire, but the
foundation is more than 200 feet from OHWM of the St. Croix River, greater than
25' from any property line, and greater than 100 feet from the bluffline;
3. The proposed reconstruction of the accessory structure will be a minor modification
of the previous footprint and the roof will not exceed the height of the existing
structure;
4. The proposed reconstruction of the accessory structure will not require filling and
grading other than excavation for a replacement septic tank and building sewer to
be connected to the existing POWTS;
5. Windows and building materials on the structure must meet standards in
Sections 17.36 G.5.c.2)a) and 17.36 H.1;

7. Stevey.01son, Land & Water Conservation Dept., reviewed the application and commented that
stomp water management is required for accessory structures greater than 100 sq. ft. per Section
17. H 7. Runoff from the structure's roof must be infiltrated; approximately 2600 sq. ft. generates
325 cu, . of stormwater during a 1.5" rainfall. The plans need to include landscaping or other means
for controlling stormwater runoff.
8. The A consin Department of Natural Resources has reviewed the application and commented that
the Department does not have any objections to this project provided it meets the standards listed
in NR 1 8. Specifically, if trees or other vegetation needs to be removed either due to the new
buildi dimensions or because it is determined they are dead or dying, then a vegetative
ma gement plan must be submitted and implemented in order to adequately screen the new
ding. All setbacks listed in NR 118 for the building and new septic tank location must be met.
uilding height requirements must also be met. And, please be advised, if the total amount of
grading for both the proposed building and septic tank are > 10,000 sq. ft., then a Storm Water
permit is needed;
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.

submitted-,--and as provided in the conditions below:

2. lThe finished garage/guesthouse shall not exceed the maximum roof height allowed in 17.36.G.
3. A stormwater management plan must be developed that provides infiltration for 325 cubic feet of
runoff and must be submitted for staff review and approval. Infiltration may be achieved through a
combMation of methods, for example installation of a rain garden, infiltration trenches, or rain
barrels for any gutters and downspouts that releases runoff into vegetated areas on this lot. The
approvE0 stormwater plan must be implemented as part of the reconstruction and included in the
