BOARD OF ADJUSTMENTS MEETING AND HEARING MINUTES

(This meeting was recorded by Northwestern Court Reporters)
The meeting was called to order by Chairperson Julie Speer at 8:30 a.m. A roll call was
made. Julie Speer, Dick King, Nick Golz, Rich Peterson and Tom Rose were present.

The Board set the next meeting date as July 27, 2000. The starting time will be 8:30 a.m.

Motion by King, second by Peterson to approve minutes from the May meeting with one
correction. All in favor. Motion carried.
CORPORATION COUNSEL REPORT/ UPDATE ON VIOLATIONS AND LITIGATION
Corporation Counsel will be available if needed.
OLD BUSINESS
Eslinger stated that there is one old item under old business. The Board tabled a
request by Kim Beer last month, for a commercial use in a commercial district, as they
requested additional information from the applicant. The Board asked for more details
on the parking for the business, as well as approval from the Highway Department on
the access to the property off of County Road A.
The applicant has supplied the Zoning Office with the information that was requested.
The Highway Department has determined that the east and west access to the property
is safe and has adequate sight distances. A parking plan has been submitted showing 7
parking spaces for the business, which is more than adequate, as the required number
of spaces is 6. The church next to the property, Redeemer Lutheran, will allow overflow
parking in their lot on times that are agreed upon between them and the applicant.
Eslinger went over the parking site plan with the Board. He believes that all of the
additional information requested by the Board has been satisfied.
Dan Beer, being duly sworn, is the husband of Kim Beer and is appearing on her behalf
today. The Board did not have any further questions for him.
The Board will re-visit the site and make a decision.

Julie Speer, Chairperson
St. Croix County Board of Adjustment
Chris Kusilek/Monarch Paving
Eslinger stated that this request is for a permit to operate a temporary asphalt plant in the
Ag/Residential District in the Town of Eau Galle. Monarch Paving is requesting to operate
a temporary asphalt plant from an existing quarry pit that is owned by Chris Kusilek.
Eslinger further explained that hot mix plants for public highway projects are temporary in
nature and may operate for a maximum of 120 days. He reviewed the staff report with the
Board. There will be no mining on the site and all material used to make the asphalt will be
hauled to the site. The hours of operation will vary, as much of this work depends on the
weather. Typically they would run from 5:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., Monday through
Saturday. The access to the property is off of Highway 63. The only equipment being
used is the type of equipment that goes along with the nature of this kind of business.
Screening is not a problem as it is being located in an existing quarry.
The Town of Eau Galle has recommended approval of the application. The D.O.T. has
not responded yet on a temporary access permit.. Monarch Paving will have to obtain an
air quality permit and a storm water discharge permit from the DNR.
The following exhibits were introduced:
Exhibit 1: Staff report
Exhibit 2: Application, narrative and attachments
Exhibit 3: Timeline outlining 120 day operation, August 1 —November 22
Exhibit 4: Letter from the Town of Eau Galle
Exhibit 5: Document listing state requirements and inspection report form
Perry Atterholt, being duly sworn, is representing Monarch Paving. He stated that they
have several projects in the area this summer. This pit has been used 3 or 4 times for this
purpose. They may need to come before the Board again in the future for a permit to
screen sand off of the pit, but that has not yet been determined.
A question was raised on spills, such as diesel fuel or oil from the trucks, and how they
would be handled. Atterholt responded that they have had some spills, but very few.
They have always been able to get the spill cleaned up immediately. The tanks that are
used on the site are double-walled, so the chances of spills are minimal.
3
Atterholt explained that water run-off should not be a problem and will be contained
within the quarry. He further explained that the DNR permits have been taken care of.
The D.O.T. should have issued a permit already, as it is an existing pit.
The Board will view the site.
Rod Wolf
Eslinger presented the request informing the Board that this is an application for a special
exception for a commercial business in a commercial district. The applicant is re-locating
his business, Wolff s Engineering, as the Wisconsin Department of Transportation has
bought his old site due to the expansion of Highway 64.
Eslinger went over the staff report with the Board. The property where the business is
being re-located is a commercial site with an existing structure. The applicant plans to use
the structure for the business. This is a custom machine shop that also repairs and sells
Harley-Davidson motorcycles and motorcycle parts. The business will generate
approximately 20 vehicles in and out of the site on any given day. There will be no
hazardous waste stored on the property. The business is partially screened from the
highway by trees and shrubs that are already in place. The Town of Cylon has no
objection to the request.
The following exhibits were introduced:
Exhibit 1: Staff report
Exhibit 2: Application with narrative and attachments
Exhibit 3: Copy of site plan
Paul Anderson, being duly sworn, is representing the Department of Transportation. He
explained that the Department is helping Wolff to move his business, due to the fact that
the state has purchased this property because of the expansion of State Highway 64.
There will be a septic system installed on the site.
The Board will visit the site.
L.E.Warnke
Eslinger explained that this request is for a temporary occupancy permit. Eslinger
informed the Board that the Zoning staff has written language to have this type of permit
issued through the Zoning Office as a Land Use Permit. This proposed ordinance
change is being presented to the Planning, Zoning and Parks Committee, but as of this
time, a temporary occupancy is only allowed with a special exception permit.
The request is to live in a mobile home while constructing a new residence. The
applicant has secured all permits needed to construct a new home. The Town of
Springfield has recommended approval of this application per minutes that were
submitted dated June 12, 2000.
The following exhibits were introduced:
Exhibit 1: Staff report
Exhibit 2: Application, narrative and attachments, including sketch of new structure,
and erosion control plan.
L.E. Warnke, being duly sworn, states that she now lives in the mobile home on the
property. A mound system has been installed for the mobile home. She plans to have
the new home completed in one-year.

The Board will visit the site.

Harold Morrow/Tom Morrow
Eslinger informed the Board that this application is for a roll-off dumpster business on a
commercial site in the Town of Troy. The site has historically been a 24-hour truck
terminal and repair. The access has been off of Highway 35, but with the re-routing of
the highway, the access is now off of a service road. Eslinger stated that this business
initially came to our office as a possible violation. The applicant has been cooperative
with the staff. The applicant has received a Transportation Service License from the
DNR.
Eslinger went on to explain to the Board that the applicant has not received approval
from the Town of Troy. It states in our ordinance that a commercial use needs to get
town approval before the Board of Adjustment may grant a decision. Corporation
Counsel is looking into this part of the ordinance, as he believes that is not a legal
procedure. This may go before the Planning, Zoning and Parks Committee in the near
future for a change to the ordinance. The Committee agreed to take testimony on this
application and will discuss making a decision.
Eslinger went over the staff report with the Board. He stated that the Board needs to
consider the requirements for commercial uses such as parking, hard surfacing, hours of
operation, screening, lighting and signs.
The following exhibits were introduced:
Exhibit 1: Staff report
Exhibit 2: Application, narrative and attachments

The Board will visit the site.
Harold Wolvert
Eslinger explained that this applicant was issued a special exception permit in July of
1997 to construct two mini storage units on this commercial site. He now wants to add
four more storage units, a main shed and a caretaker's cottage. The site is located
about 3 miles sout' of New Richmond on Highway 65 and County Road G. The plan is
to have this project done in stages, to be completed by the fall of 2002. The fencing will
be completed at the end of the project. Applicant has asked to have a small 10-watt light
on the fence at the entrance.
The applicant has worked with Humphrey Engineering on a storm water control plan and
has submitted to the Zoning Office. He has also provided a screening and fencing plan.
Access to the property will be from the west side of the property. Wolvert has met his
conditions on the previous permit.

Town of Glenwood. The applicant is requesting to go from 387 to 570 dairy cattle kept
on site. The Land and Water Conservation Department has reviewed the application
and sent a letter listing their recommendations. The DNR does not require a WPDES
permit as it is less that 1,000 animals on site. There has been no response from the
Town of Glenwood.

Conservation Department with regard to winter spreading. Tiry Engineering has put
together a plan to put in a lagoon. He will put this in either this year or next spring. He is
not opposed to long-term storage, but at the present time, with the low milk prices, is not
able to afford to do this. He is careful with his winter spreading, and will continue to be.

SPECIAL EXCEPTION REQUEST,HAROLD WOLVERT
ZONING BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT
ST. CROIX COUNTY,WISCONSIN
REQUEST:
A request for a special exception permit Section 17.18 (1) (a) by Harold Wolvert, 769
230T Street, Baldwin, Wisconsin to construct and operate four additional commercial
mini-storage units, a caretaker's house, and a maintenance building in the Town of
Richmond. The land to be effected by the proposed special exception permit is located:
In part of the SE 1/4 of the SE 1/4 of Section 15, Township 30 North, Range 18
West, Town of Richmond, St. Croix County that is lying westerly of the
centerline of State Highway 65 and contains approximately 11 acres in area. (See
attached map).
HISTORY:
On July 14, 1997, Mr. Wolvert was granted a special exception permit for two
commercial mini-storage units on the same parcel as this proposal. The board of
adjustment approved his request, with several conditions. All of the conditions have
either been satisfied or are being satisfied with this current application.
The present adjacent land uses are as follows:
Subject Property: Grassland
North: Commercial Area
South: Agricultural Land
East: Commercial
West: Ostrich Farm/Residential
PROJECT SCOPE AND SCHEDULE:
Mr. Wolvert is filing for another special exception permit to construct four additional
commercial mini-storage facilities, maintenance shed, and a caretaker's house. The four
mini-storage facilities will be located to the north of the existing two storage facilities,
while the maintenance shed and the office areas will be located to the west of the existing
facilities. Refer to the Layout Plan for dimensions and exact locations of the proposed
buildings.
The construction of the facilities will take place in three phases. The Ist phase will be the
construction of two storage facilities numbered #1 and #2 that are adjacent to State
Highway 65. The 2nd phase consists of building the caretaker's house and the
maintenance shed. The 3` phase will be the construction of the remaining two storage
units located on the northwest side of property. All phases are to be completed by the fall
of 2002. Construction of the fence will be done following the completion of the last 2
mini-storage facilities.
i !
LANDSCAPE PLAN:
A landscaping and screening plan is proposed for this project. Vegetation will be placed
to enhance the aesthetical appeal and to buffer the mini-storage facilities from the
surrounding land uses. Large pines are proposed along the west edge to screen this
property from the residential area. Along with the planting of conifers, the existing trees
on the west side of the property will also screen the area. Trees are proposed along State
Highway 65 to provide an ornamental, yet effective buffer to the storage units. The
caretaker's house is landscaped to provide a more traditional, residential feel to the
property and to the adjacent residential area. Trees and shrubs will be planted 6 months
after final grade and all landscaping will be completed by the spring of 2002 following
the completion of the last two mini-storage facilities. (Refer to the Landscape Plan).
ACCESS:
The proposed facilities will comply with the Department of Transportation's
recommendation that access be located along County Road G. Another driveway will be
located to the west edge of the property, to provide access to the caretaker's house,
maintenance shed, and the Ostrich Farm. Each driveway will be located a minimum of
200 feet between existing driveways and intersections. Each building will have 20 feet of
hard surfacing on each side and 40 feet of hard surfacing between storage facilities.

APPROPRIATENESS OF SPECIAL EXCEPTION PERMIT
