5. There was no opposition to this request.

William and Ann Findlay: Raymond gave an update on this request. At the last meeting, this
1
request was denied because a motion to approve failed on a 2-3 vote. The committee needs to
make a motion to deny.Mr. Findlay went over new information, showing the committee maps of
how they plan to develop the property. After discussion, a motion was made by Malick, seconded

Violations/Citations: Fisher reviewed current enforcement status, of which the oldest were Gary
Sukowatey, Loren Smeester, Robert Chamberlain and Clayton Juelffs.
Ordinance Discussions:
Road Setbacks: Fisher informed the Board that the St. Croix County unit of the Wisconsin
Towns Association passed a resolution that the road setbacks in the ordinance are too restrictive,
and want this looked into immediately. Fisher explained that this is being addressed in the new
ordinance. Staff thinks setbacks should be based on the type of road the structure is on, e.g., a
highway would be more restrictive than a town road. Fisher added that the Board of
Adjustments is also in favor of these setbacks being reduced. Denzer agrees,but needs to focus
on getting the main ordinance done. The Planning Department is trying for October, 2001 for the
ordinance to be ready for review.
Malick moved to send a letter to the Wisconsin Towns Association with the following points:
1. Acknowledge request and point out overall ordinance revision is in the works;
2. The WTA to let zoning and planning know what the proposed change is;
3. Give the WTA a definite month when the ordinance will be ready to review.
The motion failed due to lack of a second. Raymond moved, seconded by Luckey and carried to
send a letter to the WTA, copying all of the towns, that we recognize the request, and would like
from the towns as to what they Y would like to see for setbacks.
Floodplain ordinance: Eslinger handed out a proposed timeline for this ordinance. Corporation
Counsel has reviewed the draft, and it is now with Gary LePak of the DNR. Eslinger will send a
copy to Luckey and Malick for their review. The committee reviewed the timeline. The
ordinance will be reviewed by the entire committee on December 19", and they will plan to hold
a hearing on this ordinance on January 10"' at the Ag Center in Baldwin. The committee does not
want to extend the moratorium.
* Ordinance Timeline: Eslinger distributed a timeline put together by Zoning and Planning, as
directed by the committee, on revising the zoning,nonconforming structures, direct farm
marketing,tower, sanitary, conservation design, shoreland, floodplain and nonmetallic mining
ordinances. The committee asked the staff to insert interim milestones and report.
Comm-83 Septic Systems Ordinance: Eslinger said he does not see any of these new
technologies being used now. They are expensive and builders have not asked to put them in.
Bill Berndt,representing the Builders Association, is not aware of anyone wanting to use these
2
new technologies in the upcoming construction season. He does believe there may be interest in
the near future. Malick moved, seconded by Raymond to have the staff draft a limited
moratorium on Comm-83 to enact a temporary ordinance that will insure that the septic system
technologies listed in section COMM 83.04-2, Wisconsin Administrative Code, are proven by
experience under similar conditions to be safe on sites that have less than 24 inches of suitable
soil or slopes greater than 12% or serve more than two residential dwelling units.
Wildwood Trail: Kent Wynveen asked the committee for help on behalf of the Baldwin-
Woodville Snowmobile Club. They have a problem getting access to the Wildwood Trail
because Don Rodel has leased properties around the trail to bar access. Discussion followed.
Municipal Plats: ShadLane in the SW 1/4 S25 T31N R19W, Village of Somerset. A motion to
certify no objection was made by Malick, seconded by Luckey and carried.
