Chairman Meinke explained the procedures of the hearing, requesting that individuals wishing to testify sign their name and address on the sheet in the front of the room. OLD BUSINESS: Ed Novack Appeal: Attorney Steven Dunlap explained the request of the setback was reflected on the original approval of the Certified Survey Map approved on June 10, 1975 . Since the approval was made recognizing the need for a reduced setback, then a hardship shouldn' t have to be proven in 1988 . Bernie McGaver, Wisconsin DNR, explained the provisions of NR 118 and that he cannot accept the fact that a hardship exists on this lot . Dan McGuiness, Minnesota-Wisconsin Boundary Area Commission, expressed his concern that the hardship needs to be proven. Albert Betterley Appeal : The Zoning Administrator explained that Albert Betterley had illegally placed fill within 300 feet of a navigable body of water and a trailer closer than 133 feet from the county road. Bob Boche explained there had been a misunderstanding and was concerned that the excavators had not better understood the requirements . He went on to state that this was probably the best location for the trailer . Dan Koich from the Wisconsin DNR explained that the fill would meet the requirements and standards for a fill permit . Mike Turba expressed a great concern for this activity done without permits and concerned with the many environmental issues plus the fact there were junk cars being brought onto the property. The Zoning Administrator explained that he has discussed the issue with the township and they had no problem with either the fill or the setback variance . Tim Riemenschneider Appeal: Tim explained he was not aware of the permit requirements and had fixed the bank adjacent to Bass Lake . Dan Koich from the Wisconsin DNR explained that he had visited the site and felt the grading would meet the permit requirements; however, he should stabilize the bank better with mulch or sod . The Zoning Administrator read a letter from Ray Brown, Town Chairman who had no opposition. Somerset Telephone Co. Inc. Appoelt The Zoning Administrator explained that the request for a telecommunications tower had been postponed so that a response from the township could be obtained. Having changed the dimensions of the lot, the township 1 supported the proposed use . The Zoning Administrator stated that the Thomas Ockuly appeal had been requested to be postponed and the Maranatha Assembly of God Church had dropped their interest in the proposed use .

McQuillen and Mary Ann Radigan LOCATION: SE 1/4 of NW 1/4 of Section 21, T31N-R16W, Town of Cylon 2 Now RUNININNI Cecil Dull Appeal: The Zoning Administrator explained that this is an after the fact special exception permit for an existing sign located on STH 63 advertising Mr . Dull 's Antique Shop. Cecil Dull explained there is a need to advertise his business and this an ideal location. Donald Constant Appeal: The Zoning Administrator explained that there is currently a moratorium on special exceptions for new signs until the zoning ordinance has been amended . Donald Constant explained that he was aware of the moratorium but had wanted to make the application so that it could be acted on once the moritorium had been lifted . The permanent sign would be located on commercial property, advertising his recreational facility. St. Croix Yacht Club Appeal: Albert Rosenbower explained that there is a need to dredge this sight of the sediments that have accumulated. As the boats have come in for docking, the propellers have forced the sediments creating a sand bar . This sand bar is making docking difficult . Dan Koich, Wisconsin DNR, explained that this meets all of the state requirements provided the dredged spoils are deposited above the ordinary high water mark and on slopes less than 12 percent . Dan McGuiness, Minnesota-Wisconsin Boundary Area Commission, stated that there is need to maintain the recreational areas and as long as the spoils were deposited properly, encouraged the activities . Jack Palumbo Appeal : The Zoning Administrator explained that Mr . Palumbo was requesting a holding tank for new construction on a parcel of land that he was selling. St . Croix County prohibits holding tanks for new construction and explained that another alternative would be to install a mound system through a state approved variance or continue searching for suitable soils on different locations on the property. Jack Palumbo stated that the property sale was contingent upon approval of a holding tank . Cynthia Parnham stated they would purchase the property if they could obtain a holding tank permit . The mound system would cost too much and only two people would be using it . The Zoning Administrator stated that the holding tank was probably the most abused system that existed . Many installations usually resulted in illegal pumping to the roadside ditch . Art Wegerer, soil tester, stated additional investigation could possibly lead to finding a suitable site but the site would not be economically feasible for the location they wanted to build on. John Pfleider Appeal: John Pfleider explained that a retaining wall was needed to maintain deposited fill that was used to establish the grade for his new garage . The retaining wall is 3 oriented in a east-southeast direction. The Zoning Administrator asked if this fill was being placed on a 12 percent slope . Nancy Gianoli stated the retaining wall was oriented south and west of the garage . Richard Carlson expressed his concern that the distrubance of the original grade had changed the drainage so that it now spills over the hill toward his house . At the time of the original site evaluation by the Board of Adjustment 's, John stated there would be no diversion towards the Carlson residence and, in fact, that is what he has done . Bernie McGaver, Wisconsin DNR, requested that the decision be postponed until it can be varified if the garage was placed in the location that was approved in the earlier decision. Margo Pfleider stated that the issue is the wall and nothing else . Sue Carlson stated that she was not opposed to the garage or wall but was concerned with the potential erosion and flooding to her property. Carl Young Appeal: Carl Young explained that his driveway had been placed closer than 200 feet from another road because of how the house sits on the property. The Zoning Administrator informed the Board of Adjustment's that he had �, informed Mr . Young of the requirements of 200 feet at the time he had received his building permit, and that he had also been told by Warren Bader, Town Chairman. There is no hardship as he can easily meet the 200 feet separation. Williams Pipeline Appeal: Michael Fesen, representing Williams Pipeline, informed the Board of Adjustment that they are requesting to place groutbags on top of the exposed pipeline under the water of the St . Croix River . The groutbags will be carefully placed around the pipeline by divers with the intent of protecting the exposed pipe . Dr . Diefenbach requested to see where the work will be done in relation to his property. John Reinhart expressed his concern as to where the bags will be placed and how deep. He has no problem with the project as long as it doesn't change the appearance of the site . Dan Koich, Wisconsin DNR, indicated he expects department approval so as to maintain the safety of the line . They will require an independent diver to inspect the work after it is completed. i Dan McGuiness, MN-WI Boundary Area Commission, stated he has no objection to the work being done . 4 Robert Asplund explained that he i� requesting a special exception use permit to operate a salvage operation on five acres of land owned by him and is father . The operation would be set up with the intent of selling parts and repairing cars . A vision fence would screen the site from the side of the town road . Any hazardous waste would be placed in barrels . Fritz Asplund testified that he supported his son's activities . Lorn Pracht stated that he was opposed to the operation because of the safety for the young children in the area, the effect it would have on the value of the surrounding property for development and also opposed the potential rat problem. Ralph Mondor explained that the township already has two salvage yards and one landfill . He is also concerned with proper fencing. 'Bernard Suennen expressed his concern with pollutants, and the increase of rodents and snakes . He also stated that once a "yard" is created, it can't be taken away. Debbie Rickard is concerned with the affect it would have on her property values . She is also concerned with her view, odors, and fire protection. Phil Curtain expressed his concern for the toxic materials that would be collected and how they would be disposed of . He also wanted to know the impact it would have on the roads and if there would be added police protection . Fire control and land values are also his concern. Mary Jenkins, Emergency Government Director, stated that the new SARA program would have no involvement with the hazardous waste . Beth Pepper stated that she lives on this road and is very concerned with the safety of the children. She feels it is a very pretty area and wants to preserve it. Karen Langer is concerned that it might be visible by the 14 residences in the area . Doug Olson expressed his concern for land values in the area .
