Re: Land Use Permit for Replacement POWTS
in the Lower St. Croix Riverway Districts, Town of Troy
Parcel #36.28.20.646F-05 – Lot 2 CSM 26-5948
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Wood:
This letter confirms zoning approval according to plans submitted on February 18, 2016 for
the following activities that require a land use permit:
To replace a Private On-site Wastewater Treatment System (POWTS) in the Lower St. Croix
Riverway District pursuant to Section 17.36.F.2.a.1) of the St. Croix County Zoning Ordinance
and standards in Section 17.36.H.9.
According to the plans your agent submitted on February 18, 2016 the proposed project
consists of replacing an existing holding tank with a new code-compliant POWTS.
Staff finds that the proposed activities meet the applicable St. Croix County Zoning
Ordinances and the Lower St. Croix Riverway District based on the following findings:
1. The property consists of a 2.01-acre lot, which is located in Management Zone of the
Lower St. Croix Riverway District;
2. On February 15, 2011, a memo from Planning & Zoning Director Dave Fodroczi to the
towns of Hudson, St. Joseph, Somerset and Troy provided notification of the intent to
authorize replacement of existing POWTS in the Riverway District using both a
sanitary permit and a land use permit issued by state-certified county code
administration staff.

3. The proposed replacement POWTS will eliminate the existing holding tank and consists
of a new 1000/600 gallon septic/pump tank and an Infiltrator dispersal area as shown
on the site plan;
4. The proposed excavation and installation for the tanks and dispersal area system will
result in approximately 1125 sq. ft. of land disturbance and if installed as proposed will
meet setbacks required in §SPS 383.43;
5. A sanitary permit application has been prepared for review and approval by POWTS-
certified Zoning staff and the permit will include conditions that the land use permit be
issued prior to excavation for the replacement POWTS;
7. The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources has been sent a copy of the
application and has previously concurred with the Planning & Zoning memo regarding
replacement POWTS in the Riverway District;
8. If constructed as proposed, this project will meet the spirit and intent of the Lower St.
Croix Riverway District. It will not degrade the scenic, recreational, or natural values
of the St. Croix River Valley, nor will it negatively affect the public health, safety and
welfare of County residents.
This land use permit approval is for replacement of an existing holding tank with a code-
compliant POWTS, as indicated in the plans submitted, and as provided in the conditions
below:
1. Prior to commencing excavation for installation of the replacement tanks and dispersal
area, the applicants and/or their agent shall obtain a state sanitary permit. The
applicant may need to obtain a Riverway zoning permit if required by the Town of
Troy.
2. The applicants or their contractor shall contact the Zoning Administrator prior to
commencing installation of the POWTS to schedule inspections as required in §SPS
383.26 and in Section 12.6.A.1 of county ordinance.
3. Erosion control measures must be implemented during excavation and, upon
completion of the POWTS installation, seed and mulch cover must be applied to
stabilize all exposed soils in order to comply with requirements in Section 17.36.H.5a.
3 and 4.
4. The applicant shall comply with long-term POWTS maintenance and inspection
requirements pursuant to §SPS 383.52(1) and Section 12.7.B of the county ordinance.
The applicant’s agent will submit an as-built site plan to document actual locations of
POWTS components in relation to house, lot lines, and any nearby wells.
