Re: Land Use Permit for filling&grading greater than 2000 square feet within 300 feet of a navigable
waterway and to have up to 10% impervious. Parcel number 05.30.19.1131,Town of Somerset.
Dear Mr. Schmig;
This letter confirms zoning approval according to the plans you have submitted for filling and grading greater
than 2000 square feet within 300 feet of a navigable waterway and to have up to 10%impervious to construct a
40 foot by 60 foot shed on the property referenced above in the Town of Somerset. The Community
Development Department(CDD)staff have reviewed the submittal and determined that the proposed project
meets the spirit and intent of the St. Croix County Zoning Ordinance and Shoreland overlay District with the
following findings:
1. Filling and grading greater than 2000 square feet within 300 feet of a navigable waterway and to have up to
10%impervious is allowed with a land use permit in the Shoreland Overlay zoning district pursuant to
Section 17.30.I.2.a.1)of the St. Croix County Shoreland Zoning Ordinance.
2. The filling and grading will consist of excavating 4900 sq. ft. for a shed and driveway and the required
excavation beyond the footprint,which will be located within 300 feet of the OHWM of an E2H wetland.
The building site will be greater than 75' from the pond's OHWM and will meet other required setbacks and
dimensional standards contained in the St. Croix County Zoning Ordinance. A 1378 square foot, 8 inch
deep rain garden will be constructed to account for the new impervious surface area. The downspouts on
the shed will be directed toward the rain garden.
3. The applicant will place silt fence between the construction site and the wetland. The applicant will also
check the erosion control practices for stability and operation after there is storm water run-off.
4. The existing vegetation within the 35 foot buffer will not be disturbed.
Based on these findings,approval of the land use permit is subject to the following conditions:
1. A pre-construction on-site meeting must be scheduled with the CDD staff to verify placement of erosion and
sediment control measures.
. The applicant shall maintain all erosion and sediment control measures until permanent, self-sustaining
vegetation is successfully established on all disturbed areas of the site.
3. No phosphorous fertilizers shall be used on the disturbed areas of the site,unless a soil test confirms that
phosphorous is needed for establishing permanent vegetative cover.

addendum to this application for review and approval.
