RE: Land Use Permit – New Principal Structure – Lot 18, Orchards of St. Croix
Site Address: 279 141st Ave, Parcel #: 030-2161-18-000, Sec. 24 T30N R20W, Town of St. Joseph
Koreen,
Community Development Staff have reviewed your Land Use Permit application for the construction of a new
principal structure (dwelling) in the Shoreland Overlay District, and conditionally approved the request as
explained below. Please note the following background information, as well as how it relates to the conditions
this permit was issued upon, as the owner is responsible for ensuring all conditions are met. Failure to meet
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
1. The proposed dwelling will be located in the Town of St. Joseph.
2. The structure is proposed: beyond any applicable shoreline setbacks, greater than 50’ from a wetland, more
than 15’ from the nearest side property line, and the property does not contain any mapped floodplain areas.
3. The proposal will disturb >2,000 feet2 within 1000’ of OHWM of an unnamed water body. All filling and
grading activities will be conducted on slopes less than 25%.
4. The proposed impervious surface located within the shoreland area will be less than 15%, per NR 115
requirements.
5. All new impervious surfaces are required to infiltrate stormwater runoff from a 1.5” rain event, per the plat
and/or covenant restrictions, and record an affidavit to that effect.
FINDINGS AND CONDITIONS:
1. Any new principal structure to be constructed must meet the following setbacks:
≥ 75’ from the OWHM of a navigable water body/feature
≥ 10’ side/rear yard lot line
≥ 5’ from any septic/dose tanks
≥ 10’ from a distribution cell of a POWTS
2. Erosion control must be implemented according to the standards outlined in SCC 17.30(K)(2) for all filling
and grading activities.
a. No slopes in excess of 25% may be disturbed, per SCC 17.12(10).
b. All disturbed areas on the site must be immediately planted with native vegetation, as soon as
permissible in the building sequence. If planting immediately is not feasible and soils will remain
bare for more than one week, they shall be covered with erosion control blankets or a suitable means
of erosion control per the plans accompanying the approved land use permit.
3. Impervious surfaces proposed are approximately 8%, and no mitigation is required per WI Admin. Code
NR 115 unless it exceeds 15%.
4. All stormwater from structures (driveway, dwelling, etc.) must be conveyed to the permanently vegetated
areas designed for the infiltration of stormwater (basins/rain gardens, swales) via berms, grassed swales,
rock trenches, downspouts, subsurface piping, etc.

a. The stormwater infiltration areas must be designed/maintained to accommodate the estimated
volume of stormwater during a 1.5” rainfall event, described in the plans submitted. This can be split
into several infiltration areas after finish grading is completed.
b. Within 30 days of permit issuance, the applicant(s) must record an affidavit stipulating the
maintenance required for the infiltration device(s), ensuring routine maintenance will be carried out
in perpetuity so the infiltration area(s) continue to serve the purpose of preventing runoff from
leaving the property.
c. To ensure that no compaction of infiltration areas occurs during site prep./construction, the areas
must be staked and roped off in the locations provided for in the plans. This will be verified when
the erosion control inspection occurs. Vegetation cutting or placement of structures in these areas
without written consent from this department also violates this permit, unless this department verifies
a suitable alternative site has been proposed to infiltrate the stormwater.
d. There must be native vegetation maintained in the infiltration areas at all times. Any debris or litter
must be removed from the infiltration area(s) to perpetuate the proper infiltration of stormwater.
e. Within 30 days of the final grading being completed, the infiltration devices/areas must be
constructed and native vegetation must be planted.
5. Before any ground disturbance takes place, the applicant or designated agent shall contact this department
for an onsite verification of proper erosion control measures (described in the plans provided). The erosion
control measures must be in place at the time this department is contacted for an onsite. All erosion control
shall be maintained to prevent sediment from leaving the property, and must be inspected/maintained per
the plans provided. If deviations are going to occur from the plans, it must be approved by this department.
6. Erosion control measures shall not be removed until sufficient vegetative cover has been established on the
site, and this department gives permission for its removal.
7. If the location of any proposed structures or infiltration devices are going to be altered from the plans
received prior to this letter, this department shall be given written documentation accompanied by plans
which show the desired location of the structure/device. Only after it has been approved by this department
shall it be considered alright.
This permit is valid for one year, with the possibility of up to two (2) six month extensions. If extensions are
required, contact this department for details.
IT IS THE APPLICANTS/AGENTS RESPONSIBILITY TO ARRANGE INSPECTIONS. FAILURE TO DO
SO MAY RESULT IN A CITATION. At the time an inspection is desired, the Community Development
Department shall be given at minimum 2 full business days’ notice to ensure the a meeting time can be arranged
with a staff member.
This approval does not allow for any additional construction, structures or structural changes, grading,
filling, or clearing of vegetation beyond the limits of this request. Your information will remain on file in
the St. Croix County Community Development Department. It is your responsibility to ensure compliance
with any other local, state, or federal rules or regulations, including contacting the local Town to see if they
require an additional permit.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns. If you would like to schedule an inspection, please
call our office at (715) 386-4680. Our office hours are Monday-Friday from 8:00-5:00.
