In that letter,I informed you that your day cabin was a nonconforming use since the St. Croix County Zoning Ordinance Land Information cXcr` does not currently allow secondary residences. Nonconforming uses in the Lower St. Croix Planningf t::w, Riverway District cannot be expanded or enlarged pursuant to Section 17.36 1.1 of the 715-386-4674. ' Ordinance. Since I had not seen a site plan showing the location of the cabin on your property, 1 informed you that the cabin may also be a nonconforming structure if it does not meet current Real P rry setbacks and dimensional standards. Nonconforming accessory structures in the Lower St. 715 -4677 Croix Riverway District can be maintained and repaired,but cannot be structurally altered, R clang reconstructed, or expanded(except for non-habitable sheds and garages) pursuant to Section -386-4675 17.36 I.3. of the Ordinance. After reviewing the scope of work proposed by Tony Fall of Nordic Builders,I determined that all of the work, including repairing and replacing the ,..,,. footings of the cabin, constituted ordinary maintenance and repair and would be allowed without a permit from the County. I have since been in contact with the Wisconsin Department of Natural and received confirmation that replacing footings is not considered ordinary maintenance and repair but rather structural alteration of the foundation. Contrary to what 1 stated in my previous letter to you,replacing footings on a nonconforming accessory structure used for habitation is not allowed per Section 17.36 I.3.b.3) of the St. Croix County Zoning Ordinance. Repairing footings may or may not be allowed depending on the extent of the repairs. Please feel free to contact me with any questions. If you have a site plan showing the location of the cabin and a full set of construction plans,I would be happy to meet with you to determine what standards in the St. Croix County Zoning Ordinance apply. Please be advised that you must meet both the County's and the Town's requirements to proceed with your project.

From my understanding, this structure has also been used for habitation? If it is an accessory structure and not a garage or storage shed, only ordinary maintenance and repair can be done. This accessory structure would need to be a garage or storage shed and meet NR 118.08 (3)(a-g) in order to be allowed, by conditional use permit, to reconstruct the footings.

It just says under NR 118.08(3)(a-d) Non conforming accessory structures must meet those standards listed to be structurally altered. The permitting appears to be up to you. I would recommend calling Pierce, Polk or Pepin to see how they handle this.

No vertical or horizontal expansions or structural alterations are planned; however, some of the footings may need to be repaired or replaced. Neither NR 118 nor the SCC Zoning Ordinance specifies whether repairing or replacing footings on accessory structures would fall under ordinary maintenance and repair, so we're looking for some guidance. We did find that NR 118 and the SCC Zoning Ordinances state that the replacement or structural alteration of the foundation of a principal structure is allowed with a land use permit, but there is no similar language that pertains to accessory structures. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance, Jenny 5/12/2008 ST CROIX CO & A IL UNTY PLANNING &. ZONING ..........................
