Bernie McGaver stated he had no record of this available and
assumed it was in violation.
Attorney Dunlap feels the enforcement has changed in the last
year with the new administration of the zoning office.
Greg Timmerman stated that things may not hve been done properly
in the past . From here on out we have to follow the ordinance
and enforce the regulations provided within. This hopefully will
provide predictability for all .
Attorney Dunlap stated the laws need to be proper and right . We
should look at the spirit of the laws. This will not be seen
from the river because of the trees.
Bernie McGaver stated George Holcomb had stated the 60' variance
was so they could see.
Dan McGuiness from the Minnesota Wisconsin Boundary Area
Commission stated they were opposed to the variance for the
reason already stated.
THOMAS 0CKULY APPEAL: Attorney Mudge explained the maps showing
the restrictions of the lot . The old house would be taken down
and the new one constructed further back. He described the new
system would have to route up the existing driveway to a location
at the top of the bluff. The hardship that exists is that Mr.
Ockuly who wants to buy the house has 4 children and needs a
' larger house.
Bernie McGaver , Wisconsin DNR, stated he thought there was
another location.
Ray Brown stated the township was very pleased with the proposal .
Attorney Mudge indicated they would not be able to meet the
setback on any of the locations.
Bernie McGaver stated the large dimensions of the house limit the
site.
Attorney Mudge requested all interested meet on the property to
access the situation.
JOHN PFLEIDER APPEAL: John stated the garage is 62' from the
designated stake; however , the excavating contractor placed fill
for the driveway too close.
Bernie McGaver read the decision of April 28, 1987 and asked when
he was going to rip rap the shore.
John stated the water on the river had been too high.

BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT MEETING & HEARING
March 22, 1988
9: 00 A. M.
Meeting called to order by Chairman Meinke at 9: 00 A.M. in the
County Board Room, Courthouse, Hudson. All members present .
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 N0VACK APPEAL: Attorney Steven Dunlap explained that a
hardship must have been identified in 1.975 or the subdivision
would not have been approved.
Assistant D. A. , Greg Timmerman explained that the ordinance in
1975 allowed variance to 601 , however , there is nothing in the
record showing that a hardship existed and that the zoning
committee has no authority to grant setback variances. This is
the reason a hardship needs to be proven today.
Francis Ogden explained that he had been the surveyor who had
surveyed the property in 1975. He showed a drawing done in
November 1987 which represented the location of residence,
bluffline, and septic system in relationship to the lot . Because
of the slope of the property, it would be difficult to site a
septic system without a lift station.
Tom Nelson, St . Croix Zoning Administrator stated he felt there
was enough area for a gravity fed system even if the house were
moved.
George Holcomb explained that he was the original owner and
subdivider . The hardship at that time was people wanted to get
closer to the bluff so they could see the river . The slope of
the property prevented this.
Ray Brown, St . Joseph Town Chairman, stated that this has been a
problem for a long time. The assessment of the property is high
and if they can' t do anything with it then this is a hardship.
Bernie McGaver , Wisconsin DNR, read the purpose of NP118 stating
it is to protect the scenic river by controlling the visibility �
�
of structures from the river .
Attorney Dunlap asked if this were visible from the river and if
it can' t be seen, there shouldn' t be a problem.
Ed Novak stated the house built on one of the other lots did not
need a setback variance and showed a letter from Mr . Bondeson
stating he had no objection.

NEW BUSINESS:
MATHY CONSTRUCTION COMPANY APPEAL: Earl Welch from Mathy
Construction asked that Temporary Hot Mix Plants be approved for-
the Somerset and Richmond locations. This material will be used
for the highway construction projects in the area as well as
possible township projects.
GARY & SHARON R0lFHE APPEAL: Gary presented his request for a
used car lot use on the old Walters building site. These would
be late model cars and small scale pickups. No mechanics will be
employed.
Tom Nelson stated the township and neighbors had no objection to
the proposed use.
MARY W. JUHL & LYLE SWANSON APPEAL: Lyle & Mary presented their
request to add a room on to their cabin that doesn' t meet the 75'
setback. The addition would be 42' from the ordinary high water-
mark and wouldn' t be any closer than the existing cabin.
Ray Brown, Town Chairman, requested the decision be postponed for
30 days so that the township can review the request .
DAN B0l[K-ER APPEAL: Dan requested a 75' variance from the
bluffline. Because the bluffline curves, the addition which is
being added would be closer than 751 . No trees will be disturbed
except where the addition is to be placed.
Ray Brown stated that he had visited the site and had no
objection to it .
Dan Butler stated he wished to add the structure onto the garage
eventually and the existing house plan is very sloped up. There
is a hardship because the well and septic is east of the location
so that it can' t be moved any further east . Other factors that
should be considered are the economic and architectural
hardships.
Bernie Mc8aver stated he didn' t feel there were any hardships and
that there had been trees removed and topped in the area.
Dan McGuiness agreed, there is no hardship.
Hearing recessed for viewing the parcels in question. After
viewing the sites, the board returned to session to render
decisions. The following decisions were made:
4
`
'
Bernie indicated he would check to see if the water was too high,
Nancy Gionoli stated that the map used in the decision was the
Gionoli map.
Attorney Steve Dunlap representing the neighboring Carlsons and
Gionoli ' s, stated he feels the retaining wall is on the Carlsons
property and doesn' t feel the garage was properly sited on the
property and a violation should be issued.
Rick Lundell suggested a survey should be prepared, possibly
using the county surveyor , showing what exists on the property
today.
Attorney Dunlap asked that the 12% slope should be proven and
site of building be verified.
Milton Meinke asked that the diversion of water also be shown.
Nancy Gionoli stated everything should be shown.
Hearings called to order by Chairman Meinke at 9: 30 A. M. The
zoning administrator read the notice of the hearings as published
in the local newspapers. Chairman Meinke explained the
