Soldiers of Jesus Christ
Nelson stated that the Soldiers of Jesus Christ are again
requesting a holding tank. Their plan was not for a true holding
tank. Theirs had a drain field and seepage tanks. The Board of
Adjustment had no authority to grant their request for that system.
The State wouldn't even listen to their request. The Soldiers of
Jesus Christ are now asking for the original holding tank request.
They will be bringing before you a modified request or new plans.
They will, however, have to destroy everything that is there now.
The soils are not suitable for a mound system for 24 inches. They
can get a variance on the mound for a replacement system. The cost
is their concern.
Nelson stated because of requests from Soldiers of Jesus Christ for
postponements, this matter has been published 3 times. A motion
was made by Neumann, seconded by Jensen. that this matter be
reheard but the applicant is to pay the cost of publication up

UNFINISHED BUSINESS:
Richard Lovgren
Nelson indicated that this request was for a setback off of a Class
B road which was presented to the Board last month. They applicant
still needs to obtain information from the Department of
Transportation. Information was sent to them but it was not the
information told to them. This matter will be held off until next
month's meeting.
R.A. Carlson
Vice Chairman Filipiak indicated to the Board that this matter
would be brought back before the Board in December.
OLD BUSINESS:
John Bettendorf
Greg Timmerman, Corporation Counsel, advised the Board that the
Court decided the condition imposed by the Board of Adjustment to
remove the middle driveway didn't have any relationship to granting
the new one which was more than 200 feet. The Board can't make
Bettendorf remove that driveway other than for safety hazards or
otherwise, although it was agreed to 10 years ago. The Decision
should be modified removing the condition that the third or middle
driveway be removed. If it is a safety hazard, the Zoning Office
could cite the individual. The Board of Adjustment is to only hear
appeals and special exceptions. Enforcement is up to the Zoning
Office. The Judge found this condition not to be legal. There was
recently a letter received from the Town of Kinnickinnic in which
they stated they believe it is a safety hazard, backing on from the
road, having near accidents, waiting for semis to back into the
loading dock. The Highway Department originally did up a plan and
;; the Board of Adjustment followed the complete plan.
exception use. Introduced as Exhibit #1, page 1, a plan
identifying the structure; page 2, site location; page 3,
identifying the structural plans; pages 4 and 5 identify the
additional structural plans. The total size of the building is 36'
x 56' for the main part of the building and the entrance is 32' x
241 . Nelson indicated that he has received nothing in writing from
the township Y but the were at the rezonement hearing and the
township was in favor of this at that time.
Brian Mondor, being duly sworn, stated he currently has a cabinet
shop and they are growing out of it. They would like to build a
bigger shop with a small showroom for the public in the front. No
employees are planned. It will be heated by LP heat. They are
well off the road. They go through about 5 gallons of varnish a
year. The nearest neighbor is 300 yards away. UPS comes once or
twice a week. They mainly do kitchens with a few other sales. They
will have a large parking lot with handicapped parking,
approximately a dozen parking spots. They would be in there 8
hours a day. Clients would be seen mostly by appointments. They
have been in existence for 3 years.
vice Chairman Filipiak indicated that the Board would view the site
and render a decision later this date.
Thomas and Sandra Mondor
Zoning Administrator Nelson indicated that this is a special
exception request for an excavation business and septage hauling
business, contractor storage yard. This is not a permitted use in
the Commercial District but rather a special exception use.
Introduced as Exhibit #1 was a site plan identifying the location
of the shop on the parcel. There are two different zonings on this
site plan. The residence is zoned Ag.-Residential and the back
side of the site plan is zoned Commercial. There are no dimensions
on the shop. There is a truck and trailer parking area north of
the shop. There is nothing from the township in writing but Zoning
Administrator Nelson indicated that at the time of the rezonement
the township supported this.
Thomas Mondor, being duly sworn, stated that he has been in the
excavation business for 17 years. They were currently operating
out of property that was zoned Ag.-Residential. With everything
today, they don't want any problems with this in the future. The
shop dimensions are 40' x 641 . This is an existing shop. The shed
is on the other parcel. They don't have a bathroom, just a storage
facility. They have approximately 8 to 9 trucks with the pumping
truck. They have approximately 25 satellite toilets but may have
up to 50 some day. Storage of fuel and oil is above ground. They
have no gas. They have a 300 gallon tank for diesel which they
have filled once a week. They will be putting in a 2,000 gallon
tank. Their used oil is picked up by Rock Oil. They have a
collection system for oil and antifreeze. Batteries are turned in
at the time of purchase. They have a few spare tires. The nearest
neighbor is 200 feet to the south and they get along with him well.
They don't normally do any truck washing. They have 3 employees

being Art Jensen, Charles Mehls and Jerry Neumann. John Bradley
has an excused absence. Tom Nelson, Zoning Administrator, was
present to assist the Board with the introduction of the materials
as well as recommendations as to how the ordinances applied. On
call was Corporation Counsel Greg Timmerman. In the alternative,
if he is not available, then Assistant Corporation Counsel Don
Gillen.
Vice Chairman Filipiak explained the procedures of the hearing
requesting that individuals wishing to testify sign their name in
the front of the room on the sign up sheet provided.
Jerry Sittlow
Nelson indicated that this matter will be heard next month due to
the applicant being ill this date.
Brian and Beth Mondor
Zoning Administrator Nelson indicated that this is a request for a
y special exception use for a cabinet shop in the Commercial
District. This parcel was recently rezoned to Commercial. This is
not a permitted use in the Commercial District but rather a special
going out at 7:00-8:00 a.m. to no later than 5:30 p.m. In the
summer it will probably be until 6:00 p.m. Liddle stated he has no
problems with the Town of Warren's restrictions at this time.
Liddle also stated that they have curb side trucks at this time in
River Falls.
Supervisor Neumann asked if the building which is to be
approximately 80 feet, if they would be putting in poles to
possibly expand the building. Liddle indicated that the top up
panels can be a foot thick. The State wants them to be going by
May. As far as flammable materials, the State is to come back and
okay that use. They haven't had to put in a sprinkler system at
this time but the State could put that restriction on them. They
will probably have to have a holding tank of some sort. A bathroom
facility will be put in. The trucks will be maintained in River
Falls. The ceiling is high and the walls are to be approximately
25 feet high. The building is not to be heated, just a radiant
grid over the operator. They will have a rest room, office, break
room and scale installed to weigh the trucks.
Vice Chairman Filipiak indicated that the Board would view the site
and render a decision later this date.
Alan R. and Kathy L. Leitzen
Nelson indicated that this is a special exception use request for
a contractor storage yard. The applicant has a semi and trailer to
be stored at nights and on weekends. Introduced as Exhibit #1 is
a site plan identifying the property and location of the house,
garage and shed along Highway 12 in the Town of Warren; Exhibit #2,
correspondence from the Town of Warren recommending approval with
proper screening; Exhibit #3, site plan identifying a storage
building being 90' long x 24' wide set back 200 feet from Highway
12; Exhibit #4, site plan identifying what the applicant would like
to do at this time with the shed being immediately east of their
residence.
Alan Leitzen, being duly sworn, stated the ideal situation would be
to park the shed clear in back of the lot. He indicated he backs
the semi and trailer in now. They have widened the driveway. With
the new plan they can turn the tractor around on the property.
Exhibit #4 shows the building being set back behind the house a few
feet. He would like to be able to change oil on his truck and wash
it. Henry Nechville will take all his old oil. He has no problems
with setbacks.
Robert Samuel, being duly sworn, stated he lives directly across
from Al Leitzen. He has no problem with anybody putting a semi
there at all. He has talked with several of the neighbors and no
one has a problem with this.
Vice Chairman Filipiak indicated that the Board would view the site
and render a decision later this date.
and don't anticipate any more employees at this time. The trucks
and equipment are currently stored outside but at this time of year
they like to store them inside in the LP heated shed. They do have
some pine trees up for screening.
Vice Chairman Filipiak indicated that the Board would view the site
and render a decision later this date.
William Liddle, Tri-County Disposal, Inc./Tom Furlong
Zoning Administrator Nelson indicated that this is a special
exception request for a salvage operation. The applicant is
currently going through a rezonement to Industrial for a salvage
operation as well as a transfer station. The township is not
supporting the rezonement at this time. The County is revising the
language of the ordinance at this time. The applicant, however,
would like to obtain the permit for the salvage operation.
Introduced as Exhibit #1 is a floor plan of the building
representing an 80' x 80' size structure with a tipping floor. The
applicant wants to go ahead and get the approval on the building at
this time. Introduced as Exhibit #2, application for driveway and
work on the right-of-way from the Department of Transportation;
Exhibit #3, a site plan of the property located off of Highway 12
on the northeast side in the Village of Roberts; Exhibit #4, copy
of a survey map identifying the parcel as well as where the
building will be located, the parcel being 1.1 acres; Exhibit #5,
a copy of soil test identifying a site suitable for a mound system;
Exhibit #6, Resolution from the Town of Warren supporting the
application with a number of conditions.
William Liddle, being duly sworn, stated that he has been to a
number of meetings over the year to get a transfer station. The
main purpose of the building is to bring roll offs in, dump them
and grind the good wood. A lot of scraps, i.e. empty paint cans
and caulking tubes would be sent out. They are looking down the
road at a long range plan. Nobody has been against him up to this
point. The hang up is the use in the Industrial District. They
are sorting now in River Falls at a transfer station. They are
throwing away pallets now that are good for resale. They have
applied for a grant from the State to recycle. Now they are on the
riding edge because of the rezonement. They will be two miles from
the demo site for burying stuff not salvageable for this project.
They are trying to stretch out land fills at this time. They have
two acres of trees on the southwest corner of the lot. The lot
slopes to the southwest and east. They will position the facility
on the site so the boxes won't be seen from Highway 12. To the
west there is a fence line and power poles. Stewarts own 20 acres
there and they will screen that. They will leave a berm on the
west side of the lot going north and south. Shingles, siding and
some slate materials are removed before they go there. They would
be running into asbestos on tear downs, not on new construction.
They have a bobcat and a log jammer with a 75 horse power electric
motor to dig through the junk. There are no fumes with this. They
have 3 roll off drivers full time and one person would be there 80
percent of the time. The hours of operation would be 5:00 a.m.
of the application for a clubhouse; Exhibit #3, letter from Tom
Schumacher, attorney for John Strese, regarding the erosion control
and the problems with said erosion control. Nelson noted that JP
Golf is here today for the clubhouse. The erosion control is still
an g ongoing problem.
Frank Postic being duly sworn stated he is a representative of JP
Golf Management, Inc. They are already in the process of
construction. They started construction approximately the latter
part of October, the first part of November, around the 4th, 5th or
6th of November. Postic noted he received a citation today. There
was a need for the ground to be broken the end of October. He
stated he discussed this at length with Tom Nelson. At that time
the plans were in the process of being approved. He had requested
an exception that they could start on a conditional basis. He
stated that Nelson had told him to go ahead and do it. The septic
permit was held up at this point. They couldn't start until the
septic permit was issued. The contractor then went to the township
and got the building permit.
Nelson indicated he was told the building permit was issued.
Postic stated that the contractor told him the building permit was
issued. He stated he would be going to talk to the contractor
immediately after this hearing. The dimensions of the clubhouse
are 36' x 621 . This is basically the same plans that were
presented last year but in a different location. The cart storage
building has the same foot print as the maintenance building, that

x 62' with a walk out basement, approximately 2,232 feet on each
floor. The main floor has mens and womens rest rooms with handicap
accessibility, a kitchen area and limited seating on the southeast
corner of the building. The patio area is 1, 000 square feet with
an access from the kitchen area. The wens and womens' changing
areas are located in the northwest part of the lower level. The
mechanical room is located in the northeast corner of the building.
Water, electrical and sewer come in from the north. The block is
in for the basement and subfloor and the west wall and east wall
have been raised. The lines for the septic are to be done within
a week to 10 days. The electrical is being trenched in and the
water also. They will be obtaining a liquor license. They will be
having a small bar with 5 stools. There is limited service in the
clubhouse with food and beverages. They will have 12 tables in the
patio area and an open grass area for a tent party area. They only
plan to have bar stool seating at this time. They will have
available a room for possibly a party of 20 or so. The golf course
will be closed to the public sometime around November 1st to the
15th. The season ends approximately October 15th. The staff will
be employed 'til December 15th. They will open again around the
15th of February to the 1st of March. Possibly in the future they
will have a year 'round night club but not at this time. The night
