Mr. Steven Johnson, MN-WI BWC and Mr. Bernie McGaver, Wisconsin DNR, both expressed concerns that the deck which was also being added were not being shown on the setback plot plan and the bluffline was not certified by the Surveyor as requested by NR118. They both favor the request if this were to be provided. Mr. Mylan Matthew Brenk presented his request to have a variance of 40 feet from the bluffline. Mr. Steven Johnson, MN-WI BWC and Mr. Bernie McGaver, Wisconsin DNR, indicated that a hardship does not exist since the setbacks could be met. The Board of Adjustments should make a decision whether this is indeed a notched bluffline or not. It is there feeling this is a bluffline and could be visually viewed from the river. Mr. Reuben C. Martin presented his request for a variance setback from the road to replace an old house. The request is to build the new one 30 feet further from the road than the original houlse. He would like to stay within the treeline. Ms. Estelle L. Martin requested that this be granted for the same reasons. Ms. Marjorie M. Crawford presented her request for a setback variance of 80' from the bluffline. Her husband initiated the project in 1976 and then died. The foundation and floor jobs had been completed.

Also, they were unable to find the site location. Mr. James Rusch, St. Croix County Surveyor, presented two requests of the St. Croix County Highway Department for filling and grading within 300 feet of navigable waters. Site 1 located in part of the SE 1/4 of the NE 1/4 of Section 34 and part of the SW 1/4 of the NW 1/4 of Section 35, Star Prairie township, is for construction of a new road. All drainage leading to the water will be protected by erosion control methods. Site 2, located in the NE 1/4 of the SW 1/4 of Section 31, Town of Star Prairie, is to stabilize a washout along the Appple River with riprap so as to prevent any futher erosion.
