UNFINISHED BUSINESS
Paul Paulson d.b.a. Mann Valley LLC
Eslinger told the Board that this request was tabled at a previous hearing for more
information. The request is for a permit to operate an excavating business on property
zoned Commercial in the Town of St. Joseph. The applicant has responded to the
Board's request for more information, and has provided that information. Eslinger went
over the reasons the Board tabled the request, and the responses from the applicant. Staff
believes has responded adequately to all concerns of the Board.
Eslinger told the Board that the site is somewhat unusual, as it has existing commercial
and residential uses on the site, that have been there for many years. The applicant has
taken measures to separate the commercial buildings from the residential house on the
property by using a berm. Further, the applicant has provided a second access to the
property so that the commercial use will enter the property at one access, and the
residential at another access. This is detailed in Exhibit 6. The staff believes that the
applicant has attempted to better the situation with this proposed request.
There is an existing business on the parcel, Custom Embedding, that has operated on the
site for over 18 years. It will continue to do so for a period of no longer than 12 years, as
stated in Exhibit 9. There is a separate holding tank for the wastewater from Custom
Embedding. A DNR permit is required for the holding tank for the wastewater. The
applicant will be applying for a permit to replace the tank with a code-compliant holding
tank. Eslinger indicated there is additional drainfield capacity to expand the existing
septic system currently serving the existing business, per letter submitted by Don Schmitt
(Exhibit 7).
Eslinger told the Boara-that the proposed sign for the parcel would be approximately 32
square feet in size (Exhibit 12). The ordinance allows up to a 100 square foot sign.
The Town of St. Joseph has recommended approval of the special exception request.
Eslinger noted that the Planning, Zoning and Parks Committee placed two conditions on
the rezoning request for this property, those conditions being placed on Ordinance No.
607(2002), labeled as Exhibit#5, that was passed by the County Board of Super\ isors.
Eslinger stated that these two conditions should be considered as part of the Board's
conditions, if they grant a favorable decision in this request.
The following exhibits were introduced:
Exhibit 1: Staff report
Exhibit 2: Letter dated August 10, 2001 from the Zoning Department to Mann Valley
LLC (Paul Paulson)
Exhibit 3: Original Town of St. Joseph letter dated July 11, 2001.
Exhibit 4: Letter from the Town of St. Joseph dated January 19, 2002
Exhibit 5: Ordinance No. 607, Rezoning land from Residential to Commercial
Exhibit 6: New site plan, showing driveways on the property.
Exhibit 7: Letter from Don Schmitt
Exhibit 8: Application for the wastewater tank
Exhibit 9: Letter regarding Custom Embedding's business
Exhibit 10: Certified Survey Map
Exhibit 11: Copy of Section 17.18 of the St. Croix County Ordinance
Exhibit 12: Copy of drawing of the sign to be put on the property
Paul Paulson, being duly sworn, is the applicant. Paulson told the Board that Eslinger
had explained things well, and reiterated that they have been working on trying to get this
property into compliance with the expectations of the county for a special exception. lie
believes that they have already met most of the conditions listed in the staff summary. A
question was raised on hours of operation. Paulson responded that they would be 6:30
a.m. to 6:30 p.m., Monday through Friday,with an occasional Saturday. Most of the
equipment for the business is kept at the site they are working at, and will not be stored
on this parcel. There are no plans to keep a lot of material at the site. Again, most of the
materials are kept at the site where they are working.
Regarding the residential home on the property, Paulson stated that they plan to do some
improvements to the house, and use as a rental. With the screening plans they have for
the property, this should help to keep the residential area separated from the commercial
area.
Paulson has spoken with the neighbors in the area and there were no objections to this
proposal.
A short discussion was held by the Board. A motion was made by Golz, second by King
to approved the request for a special exception to conduct a commercial business in the
Commercial District, based on the following findings:
1. The Town of St. Joseph has recommended approval of the request.
2. The use is compatible with the surrounding area.
2
With the following co iitions: qW
1. The applicant shall install silt fence (erosion control measures) prior to
commencing grading activities. The silt fence/erosion mat shall remain in place
until the site is completely established.

and Water Conservation Department.
3. All structures must meet the minimum setback requirements as outlined in the St.
Croix County Zoning Ordinance.
4. The applicant shall obtain all necessary approvals from the Wisconsin Department

of the person responsible for installing and maintaining the erosion control plan.

7. All grading activities shall be completed before September 15, 2002.
S. Any minor change or addition to the project, including but not limited to design of
the facility, shall require review and approval by the Zoning Administrator and
the Land and Water Conservation Department prior to making the change or
addition. Any major change or addition to the originally approved plan will have
to go through the special exception approval process.
9. The applicant shall have one (1) year from the issuance of the special exception
permit to commence construction. Failure to do so shall result in revocation of
the special exception permit. If the special exception permit expires before
construction commences, the applicant will be required to secure a new special
exception permit before starting or completing construction on the project.
10. Accepting this decision means that the applicant has read, understands, and agrees
to all conditions of this decision.
The following vote was taken to approve: Golz, yes, King, yes; Peterson, yes; Rose, yes;
