Hudson, WI 54016 Code Administration Re: Simmons Land Use Permit 715-386-4680 Expansion of nonconforming principal structure in the Lower St. Croix Riverway District Land Information d Planning Parcel #35.30.20.609P2, Town of St. Joseph 715-386-4674 Dear Mr. Simmons: Real Property This letter confirms zoning approval according to plans submitted by 1St Choice Home 715-386-4677 Improvements LLC, Contractor, on April 6 and April 21, 2009 for the following activities Recreling that require a land use permit: 715-386-4675 To structurally expand an existing nonconforming principal structure in the Lower St. Croix Riverway District in the Town of St. Joseph pursuant to Section17.36 1.2.c and 17.36.1.2.e of the St. Croix County Zoning Ordinance. According to the plans you submitted, proposed construction consists of the enclosure of a deck to expand an existing non-conforming principal structure. The new room and its roof would not increase the height of the existing roofline nor expand the footprint of the existing deck over which the room is being built. 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 2.3 acre lot, 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 OHWM of the St. Croix River and is greater than 40 feet from the bluffline, but does not meet the minimum lot width or minimum setback from a property line, therefore it is considered a nonconforming principal structure; 3. Expansion of a nonconforming principal structures is allowed with a land use permit if the expansion meets the requirements in Section 17.36.1.2.e and, if required, a mitigation plan is submitted pursuant to Section 17.361.5 of the Ordinance; 4. The proposed expansion of the principal structure will enclose a deck within its pre-existing footprint and the additional roof will not exceed the height of the existing structure; nq ST.

The proposed expansion of the principal structure will not require filling and grading other than holes for additional footings to support the new roof; 6. Windows and building materials qn the patio enclosure structure must meet standards in Section 17.36.1.2.e1)i); 7. The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources has been sent a copy of the application and concurs that a land use permit may be issued. Construction of footings will not require a chapter 30 permit; 8. The St. Croix County Land and Water Conservation Department has reviewed the plans and recommended the applicant provide a stormwater management and erosion control plan consistent with 17.36.H.7 for mitigation of the proposed deck expansion and net increase in impervious surface. The stormwater calculations and construction detail drawings were submitted for review on April 21, 2009 and LWCD had no additional comments or concerns related to the application; 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 approval is for the expansion of a nonconforming principal structure, as indicated in the plans submitted, and as provided in the conditions below: 1. The applicants shall contact the Zoning Administrator prior to commencing construction and when the construction has been completed. 2. The applicants shall implement the approved stormwater management plan in compliance with Section 17.36.H.7.d.1) and mitigation requirements in 17.36.1.5.

Stoltz@wisconsin.gov] Sent: Friday, April 24, 2009 11:58 AM To: Pam Quinn Subject: Ken Simmons deck proposal Hi Pam: These are my comments in regards to Ken Simon's proposal to enclose an existing deck, use the existing foundation of the deck, install (2) additional pilings for support and expand the deck 2' closer to the lot line. This would also include replacement of the stairs and cement pad. The property is located in part of govt lots 3 & 4 in Section 35, T30N, R20W, Town of St. Joseph, St. Croix County. Further described as 173 Riverview Acres Road. This site is nonconforming for (2) reasons: first the lot width is only 164' (required is 2001), and the attached garage is 21.4' from the lot line(required is 251). Pursuant to NR 118.03: A principal structure is defined as: " the main building or other structure on the lot that is utilized for the property's principal use. The term "principal structure" includes attached garages and porches." Therefore, this would be an addition to the principal non-conforming structure because the garage is attached. The expansion of 2' to the existing deck towards the lot line will not add to the non- conformity of the structure, because it will be greater than the required lot line setback of 251. So, the Department does not feel this request will be detrimental to the riverway. Proper erosion control methods will need to be in place should any excavation or grading occur. If any mitigation can be imposed, the planting of trees and other native plants to further screen the property from view and help with storm water run off from increased roof area are a couple of suggestions. If you need anything else, just let me know.

Scope of Work Summary: Convert Existing open deck into enclosed sunroom using the existing structure and creating a new roof that is tied into house with new support footings. Remove Existing handrail and deteriorating stairs and sunken concrete pad on 12' x 12' portion existing deck Install two new footing at the outside corners of the deck to support new roof Install LVL headers and roof trusses to cover existing deck Hand frame roof layover onto existing house room and shingle to match Cover facia, post, beams, and gable end with earth tone material to match window frames Install windows and door system by Patio Enclosures Inc. under header and between post Rebuild stairs at north of deck to allow access to grade with concrete landing pad Site Conditions and Calculations The existing deck is 45' from the bluff line to the west The existing front corner of the house is 56' to the north lot line The existing roof has no gutters and drains into pervious landscaping rocks around the house The new roof and gutters will create 36.75 cubic feet of run off and will be mitigated through rain barrels and landscaping performed by owner (14'x11'=154' sq + 10'x7'x2=140'sq =36.5cu ft) Possible Expansion 00 The owner has requested to expand the deck to the north by 2' to allow more sitting room inside the sunroom. This will encroach but will not go over any of the setback that are listed. We will still be using the existing structure of the deck and adding two footing and posts to support the additional space. The larger roof will create an additional 3 cu ft of runoff which will be mitigated in the same way.
