Boucher 1397 County Road A New Richmond, WI 54017 RE: Board of Adjustment Decision File Ref: 7-96 Dear Mr. Boucher: The St. Croix County Board of Adjustment has reviewed your application for a setback variance off a county road and has approved your application. The enclosed document is the formal decision regarding your application. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate in contacting me. Sincerely, Thomas C. Nelson Zoning Administrator db Enc. cc: Janice Ball, Clerk Town of Richmond 1121 130th Avenue New Richmond, WI 54017 (C(OF)Y FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS, DECISION AND ORDER OF THE ZONING BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT ST. CROIX COUNTY, WISCONSIN Case: 7-96 Complete Application Received: 2/14/96 Hearing Date: 3/27/96 Dates of Publication: Weeks of 3/11/96 and 3/18/96 FINDINGS OF FACT Having heard all the testimony, considered the entire record herein, and conducted an on-site inspection, the Board finds the following facts: 1. The applicant is Micahel A. Bourcher, whose address is 1397 County Road A, New Richmond, Wisconsin 54017. 2 . The applicant, on February 14, 1996 filed with the Zoning Office an application for a variance request for a setback from a county road. 3 . Michael A. Boucher is the owner of the property which is the subject of this application which is located in the NE, of the NE; of Section 30, T30N, R18W, Town of Richmond, St. Croix County, Wisconsin. 4 . The subject property is currently used for residence. 5. The Town of Richmond supports this application. 6. Nelson stated that this was a request for setback variance from a county road. 7 . Nelson introduced Exhibit #1, a site plan showing the proposed garage addition to be 118 feet from the centerline of County Road A and the setback problem from 100th Avenue. It also illustrated that the proposed garage would be 6 feet from the east property line; Exhibit #2 , a letter from the Town of Richmond stating their approval of Mr. Boucher's request. 8. Michael Boucher, being duly sworn, presented Exhibit #3, a site plan, drawn by his daughter, showing the distance from the shop and the driveway to be 83 feet from 100th Avenue. Boucher noted that the lot on the east side tapers in and that the proposed garage will be attached to the barn for housing vehicles. The garage will measure 24 ' x 241 . 9 . Chairman Bradley indicated that the Board would view the site and render a decision later this date. CONCLUSION OF LAW The Board Concludes that: 1. The Board of Adjustment has authority under Section 17. 70 (5) (c) 3 to approve or deny an application for a variance. 2 . Section 17. 64 (1) (c) 2 requires a setback from a Class C Highway to be 133' from the centerline of said highway. 3 . A literal enforcement of the terms of the Zoning Code would result in unnecessary hardhsip to the applicant because of the physical limitations of the property. 4 . A variance would not be contrary to the public interest and would be in accord with the spirit of the Zoning Code because the purpose of the ordinance is to promote public safety, general welfare and convenience. 5. The variance is requested due to limiting physical characteristics of the property because the size of the lot does not allow for any alternate placement of proposed structure.

ZONING BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT Singed - .....

Johnson responded that the approval would be official if there are no objections after the 30 day Class I notification. Nelson presented Exhibit #2, a site plan of the property illustrating the adjoining landowners and the crossing on County Road K. Nelson asked if Johnson had been in touch with Dan Fedderl Y of the Highway Department. Johnson stated no, he had not, but that the letter states a willingness to cooperate. Filipiak referred to the letter from Koich and asked what the date would be if there were objections. Johnson didn't know. Johnson suggested issuing the permit contingent upon the satisfaction of the Water Quality Certification public notice. Filipiak noted that normally DNR approval comes first then the Board of Adjustment decision follows. Johnson stated that they are going through the proper channels, but there had been a breakdown in communication with the Corps. of Engineers to the DNR and that is why this process is being delayed. Chairman Bradley indicated that the Board would view the site and render a decision later this date. NEW BUSINESS: The hearing was called to order by Chairman Bradley at 9: 10 a.m. Nelson read the notice of the hearing as published: PUBLIC HEARING The St. Croix County Board of Adjustment has scheduled a public hearing for Wednesday, March 27, 1996 8: 30 a.m. at the Government Center, 1101 Carmichael Rd. , Hudson, Wisconsin to consider the following appeals to the St. Croix County Zoning Ordinance.

It also illustrated that the proposed garage would be 6 feet from the east property line; Exhibit #2, a letter from the Town of Richmond stating their approval of Mr. Boucher's request. Michael Boucher, being duly sworn, presented Exhibit #3, a site plan, drawn by his daughter, showing the distance from the shop and the driveway to be 83 feet from 100th Avenue. Boucher noted that the lot on the east side tapers in and that the proposed garage will be attached to the barn for housing vehicles. The garage will measure 24' x 241 . Chairman Bradley indicated that the Board would view the site and render a decision later this date. The Board recessed at 10:20 a.m. and reconvened at 10: 35 a.m. Louis Reimann/Arthur Overgaard Nelson stated that this was a request for renewal of their non- metallic mining permit for the Downing quarry and introduced Exhibit #1, a non-metallic mining plan for the Downing quarry; Exhibit #2, a letter from the Town of Springfield stating their approval of the 5 year non-metallic mining permit. Nelson stressed the need for a reclamation plan, a $3,000.00 bond for the disturbed areas and the hours of operation. Dick Erickson, being duly sworn, stated that he is representing Arthur Overgaard for-his permit renewal and that he does not have a problem with the bond issue. Nelson noted that there was concern from an adjacent landowner regarding this request. Erickson stated that there was and that they had forwarded a copy of the non-metallic mining plan to her, but have not heard anything back from her. Nelson questioned the total area of 38 acres which includes a storage area and an unclaimed area. He said the total area would need to be looked at to figure the bond amount. Bradley asked if the reclamation is ongoing. Erickson said yes, and that a lot of it is stock piled, about 25 feet. Nelson inquired on the square footage mined. Erickson stated less than an acre. Jensen asked if they had planned on mining deeper. Erickson replied no. applicant; Exhibit #6, a warranty deed showing ownership of the property; Exhibit #7, a survey showing lots; Exhibit #8,' correspondence from the township stating no objection to request; Exhibit #9, a copy of a map from Real Property of Lot 516B showing relationship to other lots. s T Gary Raymond Hanson, being duly sworn, stated he has owned the property for two years. Hanson said that the highway department has placed fill on his land causing his hardship and that the fill cannot be removed. He said he cannot put the mound on that disturbed site. Nelson stated his concern about where the mound will be placed and that the property is located up hill from River's Edge. It was noted that this is the last vacant lot, about 1/4 of a mile above the dam. Bradley sked what the average setback from the road was. Nelson Y g stated that this did not need to be figured. Filipiak inquired on Exhibit #2 regarding setback and clarified that Hanson is asking for a 60 foot variance from the structure to right-of-way, not knowing what the actual right-of-way is. Nelson noted that the ordinance states the setback requirement to be 33 feet from the centerline of a road and 100 feet from the right-of- way. Hanson stated he would like to start construction as soon as possible, if approved. Bradley asked Nelson that if the Board denied the variance request would it constitute a taking. Nelson stated no. Hanson stated the square footage of the main level to be 1283 and that he would like to build a two car garage. He also said he wants to build a ranch-style home rather than a two-story due to health and his knees giving out. Nelson stated he has a problem with granting approval because of the size of the house. Hanson stated he wanted to build a 3 bedroom home because he is thinking of resale value. Hanson stated the lot size to be 101.62 feet wide at County Road C and 97 feet at the river. Filipiak stated that the mound has to be 50 feet from the river and 25 ft. from the structure. Nelson affirmed that it did. Bradley inquired on the watertable and Nelson stated that i doesn't fluctuate and the mound needed to be installed with thl contour of the land. f Chairman Bradley indicated that the Board would view the site and render a decision later this date. William Liddle, being duly sworn, stated that he wishes to move a portion of his business and in doing so purchased 11.81 acres from Tom Furlong to build this facility. Liddle stated there is a need for dumping and that this project will exceed $300,000.00. Neumann questioned the system's trench drains and tipping floor. Liddle stated that they have a revised plan for drainage and referred to the floor plan showing the trench drain. He said that all transfer facilities are required to have some type of holding tank facility for leaching materials. Nelson presented Exhibit #9, a floor plan showing the sump detail. Liddle stated that past history has shown that trenches become plugged. Liddle said they collect metal, clean wood, sheet rock and materials that cannot be recycled. They want to be able to drain to the outside so that they can turn off the system, hose it down and scrape it. Liddle would like to tie three drains to collect sediment in a basin and then drain into a drainfield. Liddle believes the facility will be hooked up with the Village of Roberts. Neumann questioned the elevation of the holding tank. Liddle said there will be minimal sloping and that he would like to keep the two systems separate. Nelson stated that the resolution from the town board was elaborate and asked Liddle if he had any concerns with it. Liddle stated that they have a problem pumping glass in River Falls and he would like to be able to have the option of doing this in this new facility. Liddle went on to state that he has been in business since 1988 and is getting more business. He said they have an outside transfer station which was the first one in St. Croix County and in 1990 started picking up construction debris and also picking up boxes from New Richmond & Hudson and bringing them to River Falls. Liddle added that the State wants to see a reduction in unrecycled material and that he has applied for a $148, 000 grant from the them. The equipment to handle this recycling is costly, one truck is $80,000. Liddle stated he might use compactors to reduce space - he is unsure of the volume he will have to deal with. Bradley asked Liddle if he contracts with any municipalities. Liddle stated he has the only demolition site in the county and is the only site that sorts debris, trying to keep it out of the ground. Liddle's biggest concern is to try and recycle as much waste as he can. He stated that everyone else in this type of business has sold out. Liddle believes his business is and will be in demand and he is confident that this transfer station will work. Nelson inquired on the number of hand labor. Liddle stated that three people will be sorting or hauling clean wood. Nelson also asked if there would be a garbage within the facility. Liddle replied yes. Nelson asked if they are concerned about hazards. Liddle said that they have a system in effect. • Nelson inquired if there was a well on the property. Erickson stated that there was a well, but the product is not washed. Erickson noted that the material mined is ag-lime, and used for construction and for hot mix plants from time-to-time. Robert Gilgenbach/Arthur Overgaard Nelson stated that this was a request for renewal of their non- metallic mining permit for the Wilson quarry off of Highway 12. Nelson introduced Exhibit #1, a non-metallic mining plan for the Wilson Quarry; Exhibit #2, a letter from the Town of Springfield stating their approval for the five year non-metallic mining permit. Nelson inquired on the number of acres to be mined. Erickson stated it is unchanged from the 20 acres from their previous permit. Bradley noted they use less product in the Wilson quarry. Nelson stated reclamation is difficult in the current area they are mining. Erickson stated they will be able to reclaim the new area they will be mining and that the older part is next to impossible to reclaim. Nelson stated that he feels comfortable with the reclamation of the pits. Chairman Bradley indicated that the Board would view the site and render a decision later this date. TCD Materials/Bill Liddle Nelson indicated that this was a special exception request for a recovery and transfer station and that this application has been held since last fall due to the rewrite of the zoning ordinance. Nelson also noted that the rezonement for this site had been approved. Nelson introduced Exhibit #1, 6 pages showing the location of the building, foundation, cross-section of wall, roof plan, cross-section on topography and floor plan. Nelson noted that Liddle was granted approval for a salvage operation last fall, but could not move into the facility until he obtained rezonement approval. Liddle is now requesting approval on his facility operation. Nelson then presented Exhibit #2, a detailed site plan showing the location of transfer station, how it will sit on property and the topography of the property; Exhibit #3, a letter from the DNR; Exhibit #4, a copy of the state approved plan for a mound septic system; Exhibit #5, a CSM identifying property - the CSM was approved by the Planning and Development Committee two months ago; Exhibit #6, a site location on a Roberts quadrangle map; Exhibit #7, a 5 page resolution from the Town of Warren approving Liddle's request and listing the conditiopis; Exhibit #8, correspondence from the State Historical Society fiom Wisconsin stating their support and the lack of artifacts totbe found at the site. • • and grading before, 2 miles south, in the early 190's and that this is the same plan. Nelson asked Doornink where he was planning on starting. Doornink stated he wanted to start at the railroad tracks going north, working in 400-500 foot sections spread out over four years. Mehls inquired on the results from the earlier project. Doornink stated that it was very successful and they can mow the grass down there. Mehls asked if the DNR is happy with the results. Doornink stated he did not know and he would like to have his request approved contingent upon DNR approval. Nelson stated he would like to have DNR approval first. Filipiak inquired on the present channel depth. Doornink noted that it was 5-8 feet deep and very narrow. Bradley inquired on how long Doornink has owned the property. Doornink stated that he has rented from his brother John on a long- term agreement and that John owned the property from 1970 to 1995. Chairman Bradley indicated that the Board would view the site and render a decision later this date. The Board took a short recess at 11:46 a.m. and reconvened at 11:54 a.m. Ron Meyer Nelson stated that this was a special exception request for a contractors storage yard and noted this is not a permitted use, but rather allowed by a special exception use permit. Nelson added that Meyer is in the septic cleaning business in Minnesota and is moving to St. Croix County and would like to bring his business with him. Nelson introduced Exhibit #1, a two page site plan, page one being a map showing the location of the property and page two being a list identifying the buildings on the property; Exhibit #2, a short written introduction explaining what the applicant's intentions are; Exhibit #3, a three page resolution from the Town of Warren stating the storage yard is to be exclusively used for septage business only, no outside storage allowed and no exterior signs or lighting. Ron Meyer, being duly sworn, stated he purchased the property at which he resides from Fredricks last June and he intends to build a home on it. Neumann inquired if Meyer planned on having a Minnesota license for this business as well. Meyer replied no, just a Wisconsin license. Filipiak inquired on the number of toilets. Meyer stated there would be 25 toilets and one truck and no employees. 0 • Bradley asked if the building was ventilated. Liddle stated that it would be and he wants to install an exhaust fan to ventilate the dust. Nelson asked about flammable materials catching fire. z Liddle made comparison to St. Croix Tree Service stating that they stock pile trees and even grind them. Nelson asked Liddle if he will be dealing with hazardous materials. Liddle stated that he doesn't collect batteries, .but this is one of the reasons he wants this station so that he can sort these types of items. Bradley asked Liddle if he would have to go back to the state for approval of this station. Liddle replied yes, he would, for the recycling part of his request. Liddle referred to the letter from . the DNR which stated that they would license this facility as a transfer station as well as a materials recovery station. Liddle noted that the state will allow him to have this facility as long as he obtains Board of Adjustment approval and can get the DNR to issue a permit. Nelson asked Liddle when he would be starting construction. Liddle said they would be starting May 10th. Nelson noted that the issue of the sumps would need state approval and asked Liddle if he was planning on changing the plumbing. Liddle stated yes. Neumann asked if the state would need to approve the plan for ventilation. Liddle stated that there will be a lot of air exchange already with the huge doors that will be installed.
