RINGS, CONCLUSIONS, AND DECISION
OF THE ZONING BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT
ST. CROIX COUNTY, WISCONSIN
File Number. SE87991
Applicant: Daryl Olson, property owner
Parcel Number: 27.30.20.510P
Complete Application Received: August 5, 2013
Hearing Notice Publication: Weeks of September 9 and 16, 2013
Hearing Date: September 26, 2013
FIlVDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW
Having heard all the testimony, considered the entire record herein, and visited the site, the Board of Adjustment makes the
following Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law pertinent to the applicant's special exception requests:
1. The applicant is Daryl Olson, property owner.
2. The site is located at 1392 Hilltop Ridge Rd. in Part of Gov't Lot 2, Section 27, T30N, R20W in the Town of St.
Joseph, WI.
3. The Town of St. Joseph Town clerk notified the department in an e-mail sent Sept. 16, 2013 that a formal letter will
be sent with the Town Board's recommendation for approval from their September 12th meeting.
4. Mike Wenholz, Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources Shoreland Specialist, submitted his comments on
September 19'h. The department recommends that this request be denied, however, if the Board finds the applicants
have demonstrated meeting all three required variance criteria and approves the variance, the department recommends
the applicants understand that since their deck is 400 square feet, they are only allowed a total of 100 square feet of
additional accessory structure within the bluffline setback to comply with Section 17.36.I.3.b.4).
5. The applicant filed an application with the Board of Adjustment for a variance to reconstruct a nonconforming
accessory structure (deck) within the bluffline setback area in the Lower St. Croix Riverway district pursuant to
Section 17.36.I.3.b. of the St. Croix County Zoning Ordinance. The deck is in need of more than ordinary
maintenance and repair to meet current Uniform Dwelling Code requirements and will meet the intent of the
ordinance in that:
• The reconstructed deck will be no larger than the existing one, which is approximately 400 sq. ft.;
• No vegetation will be harmed during reconstruction;
• The public interest would not be harmed by granting the variance;
• The deck is and will continue to be inconspicuous from the river;
• and property values will not be negatively affected.
6. When determining whether an unnecessary hardship exists, the Board of Adjustment must identify unique physical
characteristics of the property that would otherwise prohibit the applicant from using the property for a permitted
purpose, and then weigh the burden placed on the applicant in meeting the requirements of the Ordinance against the
public interests being protected. The original house and its accessory structure (deck) were constructed less than 40
feet from the bluffline prior to the adoption of the Rverway ordinance and as such are legal nonconforming structures.
The request will not increase the nonconformity of the structures since the deck will remain -25 ft. from the bluffline.
7. Literal enforcement of the ordinance prohibiting the reconstruction of a legal nonconforming accessory structure
(except garages or sheds) would limit the applicant's continued use of the deck as a safe, structurally-sound platform
for ingress and egress from existing doorways on the house.
8. In Chapter NR 118.08(3) ordinary maintenance and repair of nonconforming accessory structures is allowed, but
"Nonconforming accessory structures may not be structurally altered, reconstructed or expanded". Ordinary
maintenance and repair of the existing deck structure will not be sufficient to prevent further deterioration or meet
decay prevention requirements in Comm 21.10 of Wisconsin Dept. of Commerce Chapter Comm 21 Construction
- 1 -
Standards. The applicant's re test would also bring the deck into complianfnth state specifications for safe
handrails, footings, frost protection, and structural support/attachment to the principal structure. However, the
applicant cannot comply with Comm 21.225 without reconstruction of the deck, which would be a violation of
prohibitions contained in NR 118.08(3) and Section 17.36.I.3.b of the St. Croix County Riverway ordinance.
Conflicting statutory requirements contained in separate state regulations is a hardship that was not self-created by the
applicant.
9. The applicant is requesting minimal relief from the standards in the Ordinance. The proposed reconstruction of the
deck will not expand the existing nonconforming accessory structure's footprint of -400 sq. ft. or increase its
encroachment into the 40' bluffline setback.
10. Substantial justice would be done by allowing continued use of a deck attached to the principal structure, which is
allowed in the Lower St. Croix Riverway District, and which will be reconstructed within the footprint of the original
deck. The reconstruction will not expand the existing nonconforming accessory structure's foundation/footprint or
increase its encroachment into the bluffline setback. The deck will be rebuilt to current Wisconsin building code
standards. With conditions that mitigation measures will include a stormwater management plan to comply with
requirements and standards in Section 17.36.H.7 and that an affidavit will be recorded to describe the approved
stormwater management plan and discloses its maintenance requirements pursuant to Section 17.36.H.7.g,1) & 2), the
reconstructed deck will meet the spirit and intent of the Ordinance and comply with mitigation requirements in
Section 17.36.I.5.a., b., and c.3).
DECISION
On the basis of the above Findings of Fact, Conclusions of Law, and the record herein, the Board granted the applicant's
variance request, with the following conditions:
1. The variance will allow the applicant to reconstruct a deck attached to the principal structure within the same
footprint as the original deck in accordance with the plans submitted on August 5, 2013 and as provided in the
conditions below. This approval does not include any additional structures, impervious coverage, filling and
grading, or other activities.
2. The applicant shall secure all necessary permits and approvals from the Town of St. Joseph and obtain any other
required local, state, or federal permits and approvals, including but not limited to a building permit.
3. In compliance with the mitigation requirements in Sections 17.36.I.5.c.3) &4), the applicant will direct
stormwater runoff from the house gutters away from riverward slopes into approved stormwater infiltration
structures and protect existing trees within the bluffline setback to maintain slope stability and visual screening of
the house from the river. Prior to commencing demolition and reconstruction of the deck, the applicant must
submit to and have approved by the Land Use Administrator the following items:
• A storm water management plan designed to infiltrate runoff from the house roof, including redirecting
discharge from downspouts away from the bluffline.
4. As indicated in the plans submitted, the proposed project will be visually inconspicuous, will comply with
requirements for earth-tone building materials, and will not require removal of existing mature trees that screen
the house from the river. Within 30 days of completion of the deck reconstruction, the applicant shall provide
certification that the deck was constructed according to the approved plans and in compliance with state UDC
code.
5. Within 30 days of the Board's decision, the applicant shall record an affidavit against the property referencing the
decision and stormwater management plan for approved runoff infiltration structures. The applicant shall submit
a recorded copy of the affidavit to the Land Use Administrator at this time. The intent is to make future owners
aware of the limitations and responsibilities incurred as part of the Board of Adjustment's variance decision.

6. Any minor change or addition to the project, including but not limited to design of the project, shall require
review and approval by the Land Use Administrator prior to making the change or addition. Any major change
or addition to the originally approved plan will have to go through the variance approval process.
7. The applicant shall have one (1) year from the issuance of these approvals to commence reconstruction of the
deck and two (2) years to complete the project. Failure to do so may result in expiration or revocation of this
decision, after which time the applicant will be required to secure a new variance before starting or completing
the project.
8. These conditions may be amended or additional conditions may be added if unanticipated circumstances arise
that would affect the health and/or safety of citizens or degrade the natural resources of St. Croix County.
Conditions will not be amended or added without notice to the applicant and an opportunity for a hearing.
9. Accepting this decision means that the applicant has read, understands, and agrees to all conditions of this
decision and has no objections if county staff conducts unannounced onsite inspections to check for compliance
with the conditions of this permit.
The following vote was taken to approve the request: Chairman Malick, yes; Peterson, yes; Sontag, yes; Nelson, yes;
McAllister, yes. Motion carries.

BACKGRQUNb:
The applicant is the owner of a legal nonconforming principal structure situated on a riparian lot in the Lower St.
Croix Riverway District in the Town of St.Joseph. The house and a majority of the deck were originally constructed
within the 40-foot bluffline setback prior to adoption of the county Riverway ordinance. On May 26, 1987 prevous
owner Brian Sigstad received Board approval for an addition on the house that included an extension of the deck,all
of which was parallel to the bluffline. The applicant purchased the property in 2012 and found that the entire deck is
in need of more than ordinary maintenance and repair to meet current Uniform Dwelling Code structural requirements
for safe use as ingress/egress into the house.
The variance request is to allow reconstruction of a deck attached to a legal nonconforming principal structure that
does not meet the 40' setback from the bluffline. The proposed deck reconstruction will not increase the existing
footprint nor encroach further into the bluffline setback. (Exhibit 2)

uses not permitted in that district.
§59.694(7)(c): To authorize upon appeal in specific cases variances from the terms of the ordinance that will
