AN ORDINANCE ESTABLISHING A SECONDARY DEVELOPMENT MORATORIUM FOR LANDS ADJOINING A MAJOR TRANSPORTATION CORRIDOR ORDINANCE NO. 35 The St. Croix County Board of Supervisors does ordain as follows: Section I. Authority This ordinance is enacted to promote the public health, safety and general welfare of the citizens of St. Croix County as provided under sections 59.97, 59.971 and 236.45, Wisconsin Statutes. Section II. Purpose The State of Wisconsin is currently designing major transportation improvements to State Trunk Highways 35 and 64 in St. Croix County, and the County has undertaken the preparation of a County Development Management Plan and update of the County Zoning Ordinance. The highway improvements are located in rapidly growing portions of the County. This moratorium is necessary to allow the St. Croix County Board of Supervisors and local communities time to complete studies, make plans and adopt ordinances to provide for and be compatible with the orderly development of these transportation-facilities and areas to be served by them, and to protect the public interest in safe and efficient highways and the adjoining local road network. The County Board of Supervisors has concluded that issuance of new development approvals during the period of study and planning could preempt the purposes of these planning efforts and destroy its beneficial effects. Therefore, the County Board of Supervisors finds that the studies, plans and ordinances will not be effective unless a moratorium is imposed on rezonings and preliminary or final approval of major subdivisions for lands adjoining the proposed major transportation corridor in St. Croix County. Section III. Applicability This ordinance shall apply to and govern lands in St. Croix County that adjoin the anticipated rights -of- way of STH 35 and 64 from the St. Croix River to New Richmond for the period from the effective date of this ordinance until June 30, 1997, unless this ordinance is amended by the St. Croix County Board of Supervisors. The areas of applicability include all lands within one thousand (1,000) feet of the anticipated right -of -way. These' areas are located in the Towns of St. Joseph, Somerset and Star Prairie attkFIare shown on the accompanying map which is made part of this ordinance by reference. Section IV.
