This study is conducted and financed by you and reviewed by the Community Development Department and St. Croix County Highway Department(call the Highway Department with questions at 715-796-2227) Please Note: Application materials should not include covers, binders or envelopes. Application packets should be collated and either stapled or paper clipped in the upper left-hand corner. All maps, plans, and engineering data must be submitted on paper no larger than 11x17. , The following process takes anywhere from 60 to 90 days to complete. Step 1,Pre-Application Meeting: Prior to submitting an application the landowner or their agent must schedule a meeting with County Community Development Department staff to discuss the application and the process. Since Townes have statutory authority to disapprove of a rezoning request, applicants are encouraged to also meet with Township officials prior to submitting an application to the County to ascertain their level of support for the request. Step 2, Application Submittal and Review: Applications are due on the ls'IVIonday of the month. Applications will not be accepted if the applicant has not met with staff prior to submitting an application. The application must include all items identified on the checklist. After a preliminary review, additional information may be requested. Once it has been determined that all requested information has been obtained the application will undergo an interdepartmental and interagency review. This review includes notification to the Town in which the request takes place. Step 3, Town Review and Comment: As identified in Step 2,the interagency review process involves notification to the applicable Town for their consideration and comment. Under Wisconsin State Statute § 59.69 Towns have the authority to disapprove a rezoning request before the County Board. While individual Towns may have different processes for review and comment back to the County, all Towns will likely place the rezoning request on an agenda for discussion and recommendation by their Town Board. The applicant should follow this process closely and ensure that the issue is placed on a Town agenda and a resolution supporting the request is forwarded to the County in a timely manner. Approval by the County is difficult to obtain without formal Town support. Step 4, Public Bearing: All rezoning requests must undergo a public hearing before the St. Croix County Community Development Committee. A notice of the hearing is published in local newspapers for 2 weeks prior to the scheduled hearing date. Notice of the hearing is also sent to all adjacent property owners. Hearings are typically held on the 3 d Tuesday of the month (subject to change)in Hudson or Baldwin following completion of the interdepartmental and interagency review. Step 5, County Board Approvals Upon approval by the Community Development Committee, a recommendation is forwarded to the County Board for action at their next regularly scheduled meeting. Once approved by the County Board the rezoning is complete,pending any conditions that may have been placed on the approval.

Rezoning (Land Use)Map BACKGROUND: r r i i Bridget Fickling owns 120.42 acres that is currently zoned Rural Residential District. She has applied to rezone this property to the Agricultural District 2(AG-2). Fickling wants to sell a portion of the property she owns to an interested buyer. Fickling's agent and surveyor,Joel Brandt,submitted a Certified Survey Map(CSM)application to the Community Development Department on November 2, 2015. As staff began review of the application and aerial photos of the property, it became apparent that in addition to what appeared to be a house, there was also a very large building located on the property where the proposed lot would be located. Staff noted there appeared to be several different pasture-type areas on the aerial photos of the site. Staff contacted the surveyor and the applicant to determine existing uses occurring within the large building. It was determined that the large building is being used for an equine-related business that includes: horse boarding, breeding,training, riding lessons and sales of horses. It was also determined that the large building (barn/riding arena) had a residential living area within it. Prepared b)l St Crarx County Connawnity Devetop ent Department 1 January 21,2016 RZN-2015-002 Staff then contacted the applicant and surveyor to let them both know that the property was in violation of zoning codes due to the equine-related business activities which are not allowed in the Rural Residential District, and also due to the second residence that was located within the large building. As such, staff cannot move the CSM application forward until all violations are corrected. Fickling stated that the equine activities have been occurring on the site for approximately 10 years and she did not know that that the activities were in violation of County ordinances, but will work with staff in order to comply with all required regulations. Fickling has agreed to remove the residential living area within the large building. She also asked if there is a way that she could obtain compliance for the equine-related business activities. Staff researched this issue and responded that the property may qualify for AG-2 zoning which would allow for a variety of agricultural-related businesses. If the property is rezoned to AG-2,then land use permits and Conditional Use Permits could be submitted for the agricultural-related uses to bring the property into compliance. The current uses on the property appear to qualify for compliance in the AG-2 District pending approval of any/all required permit(s). No additional structures or uses are planned at this time.
