the site on Tuesday. He reminded the Board that this is a machine
shop in the Town of Emerald. Nelson stated that Meyer has been
given until July 18th to submit a rezoning application to rezone to
industrial . He then has to apply for a special exception. Nelson
further stated that Meyer has until August 1st to get a sanitary
permit issued and then until September 2nd to have it installed.
Chairman Bradley asked what will happen if Meyer does not apply to
have property rezoned. Nelson said that they will then issue a
violation and turn the file over to Corporation Counsel . Nelson
will update the Board again next month.
Gary Sukowatey
Tom Nelson informed the Board that on June 18th, he and Don Gillen,
Corporation Counsel, met with Bob Mudge, Sukowatey' s attorney, at
the Sukowatey property to look over the situation. Nelson then
gave Sukowatey a letter stating that he has one month, until July
18th, to comply with the Board of Adjustment decision. Mudge
contacted Nelson saying that he did not think that Sukowatey could
meet this deadline and he would send Nelson a letter stating that .
So far, Nelson has not received anything from Attorney Mudge.
Chairman Bradley asked Nelson if we should consider a revocation
hearing in this case . Nelson stated that the permit has been
appealed. Dacquisto explained that he has talked with corporation
counsel and they have informed him that we can go ahead and address
the Board of Adjustment problems with the non-compliance. Zoning
will keep the Board updated on this case.
Jor-Gas, Inc.
Nelson explained that the Board made a decision a year ago and
asked for a more detailed plan from this group. They are back
before the Board today.
Nelson introduced the following exhibits:
Exhibit 1 : Site plan identifying plans for tearing down the
house on the property and the proposed building to
be done .
Exhibit 2 : Letter from the Town of Cylon stating conditional
approval .
The town board has considered this application and all they are
willing to go with is the propane tank. Dave Dacquisto read the
list of 11 conditions in his report to the Board that restricts
uses for the site.
Jor-Gas wanted assurance that this type of facility could be
constructed before they purchased the property. The home on the
property has been removed. The town has given conditional
approval .
Lori Jorgensen, being duly sworn, states her address to be 2064
140th Ave. , St . Croix Falls, Wisconsin 54024, and that she is the

project .

project .
Exhibit 4 was introduced by Dave Dacquisto and is the staff report
on this file that was sent to the Board.

in the tanks and to be allowed to fill the trucks to send out to
customers . In the future they would like to have an office at the
site and a convenience store. They will have an entrance off of
the highway and will pave areas to the propane tanks. The town of
Cylon has approved an office at the site, but that will be done in
the future . Jorgensen stated that over the next year they would
like to have the tanks in and footings for the office.

John Bradley, Chairman
St . Croix County Board of Adjustment
Harold Wolvert
This is a request for a mini-storage. David Dacquisto, Zoning
Director, introduced the following exhibits :
Exhibit 1 : Staff report
Exhibit 2 : Harold Wolvert application
Exhibit 3 : Town of Richmond letter of recommendation
Exhibit 4 : Site plan
Exhibit 5 : Map showing lot lines
Exhibit 6 : Letter of recommendation from Department of
Transportation concerning Highway 65 and County
Road G.
Dacquisto stated that he had received a faxed letter from the
D.O.T. this morning. The plans for the future of highway 65 are to
expand and they are asking the Board to consider this in their
decision. Due to all of the growth in the area, and the heavy
traffic, the plans for 1165" are to expand from two lanes to four
lanes in the future. The D.O.T. suggests that the driveway to the
Wolvert property be off of County Road G rather than 1165" and in
their conversations with Mr. Wolvert, he has agreed with this plan.
Harold Wolvert, being duly sworn, states that he is the owner of
the property and that his address is 1770 105 St . , New Richmond,
Wisconsin 54017 . He is asking for a permit for a mini storage .
Dacquisto read the letter from the D.O.T. It is explained in the
letter that in considering the expansion, the county needed to
consider the proposed expanded right of way from "65" .
Mr. Wolvert explained that when he bought the property from Bill
Derrick, his understanding was that Derrick would be putting in a
service road to the property, and Wolvert was granted an easement
to this road on his deed. Since that time, Derrick has decided not
to put in the service road. Wolvert explained that he has already
escrowed money for Derrick to put in the service road, but wants to
4
follow whatever theO.O.T. recommends. Discussf?n held on the road
right of way on the Wolvert property. Wolvert bought the property
in February, approximately 5 acres that is zoned commercial . The
town has approved his plan.
There was a discussion on Exhibit 4, a Certified Survey Map. The
required 100 foot setback on the right of way line off of 65 was
marked "A" . The required 100 foot setback from the corner of "65"
and County Road G was marked "B" . The required 100 foot setback
from the right of way line off of County Road G was marked "C" .
The proposed building would have to be moved if driveway is off of
highway and may have to be moved due to setback constraints .
It was noted that there needs to be 200 feet between driveways .
Wolvert said that this would not be a problem. His proposed
buildings will be 40 x 280 and his lot is big enough to move the
buildings if needed. He will not be doing any retailing or storing
any hazardous materials. He plans to inspect the property (storage
buildings) every 90 days.
Dacquisto stated that he has had a meeting with his staff and the
highway people, but nothing has been resolved. The county thought
that there would be a frontage road put in, but since there is not
one, need an alternative plan.
The Board will visit the site today and make a decision later
today.
Ken Olson
This is an application for a mini storage. The following exhibits
were introduced:
Exhibit 1 : Staff report
Exhibit 2 : Ken Olson application

property into two parcels and that there are no side yard or rear
yard setbacks . The lot is in a commercial district .
Ken Olson and Al Hagen, being duly sworn, state that they are
partners in this property ownership, and the partnership is called
Quality Mini Storage. They propose to put up a 40x100 storage
building. They plan to blacktop 20 feet on each end and 30 feet on
each side. Hagen is purchasing the other lot from Ken Olson.
The following exhibit was introduced:
Exhibit 6 : Site plan from Ken Olson - detailed plan showing
proposed split . Lot 4 with the home and Lot 3
which is the mini storage lot .
The Board looked at Exhibit 6 and labeled the setback from County
Road C as "A" and the 40 foot depth from the right of way setback
was labeled "B" . The setback looks sufficient according to the
ordinance. It was noted that there is a lot of space between the
5
lot line and the h•. The present driveway w•marked on the map
and also the proposed driveway.
Filipiak reminded Hagen and Olson that there is to be no retailing
done, no storing of hazardous materials and there needs to be
security lighting. Hagen and Olson are aware of this and they also
plan to do some landscaping. The Board asked if they would be
willing to have the buildings inspected every 90 days and Hagen and
Olson would be in favor of that .
The Board recessed at 10 :30 a.m.
The Board reconvened at 10 :45 a.m.

Government Director for St . Croix County
They have a purchase agreement on the land and ownership will be
established after all permits are issued.

Trailer in a commercial area and near the
railroad) .
Weiske stated that they are looking at the storage and

as retail lawn and garden business, bulk feed ingredients, salt,

related items such as fencing, hardware and livestock supplies and
equipment .

Weiske noted that Pis also possible that in te future they may
use the railroad to have feed shipped in.
There was a discussion on the exhibit 8 site plan. The anhydrous
ammonia tank was labeled "A" on the exhibit . This will be moved
north on the lot to the site labeled "B" . Weiske explained that
the small water area is not a pond, it is just an area for water to
drain into and 90% of the time the area is dry. It only has water
after a heavy rain. The DNR has no problem with this.
The Co-op has talked with surrounding landowners and there were a
few concerns, but not many. They feel that this has been taken
care of .
The site plan has been approved. Chairman Bradley would like a
complete set of approved plans sent to the zoning office.

Exhibit 10 : More detailed plan of chemical rinse area
On exhibit 8, the rinse areas were labeled "C" and "D" . Weiske
noted that these rinse areas are appropriate for the environment .
Nelson reminded Weiske that there is an ordinance on paving
driveways and around buildings. Weiske said that they will be
doing this and will also be putting concrete in the rinse areas .
The loading areas will be paved with concrete, the parking areas
and driveways will be paved.
There is a place by the railroad tracks for unloading trucks. The
new equipment used for unloading minimizes dust so that very little
gets into the air.
Chairman Bradley noted that he feels that they are doing a good job
maintaining environmental concerns .
Weiske said that the plan is to have 4 employees in the winter and
10 to 15 employees in the spring and summer.
Weiske stated that the plant itself is 1, 000 feet from any property
line . They also have a plan for the state on their emergency
action plan.
Dacquisto clarified for the Board that the public hearing that was
held in Cylon was for the rezoning of the land to commercial .
It was noted that there is a strip of land adjacent to the property
that the co-op will be purchasing in addition to the 51 acres (a
strip of land approximately 6 acres) . This strip will be rezoned
to commercial and then the Co-op will ask the Board again to
include this strip of land.
The Co-op would like construction to start in July.

Road O, New Richmond, Wisconsin. He is a supervisor from District
One and Vice Chairman for the St . Croix County Board of
Supervisors. He states that this service center is in his district
and feels that the Co-op has been very straight forward with them
7
and has met all retirements. They have coopfrated totally with
the town board and with the zoning office. No one had any
objections to the rezoning and the Co-op has followed all of the
regulations . Dorsey stated that the time has come for Co-ops to
join together to make this type of business work and he totally
supports this project .
