Minutes/Meeting Dates Motion by Supervisor Malick, seconded by Supervisor Jensen to approve minutes of May 23rd as submitted. Motion carried. The next meeting to discuss planning and parks business is scheduled for July 18, 2000. The next meeting is June 14, 2000 at 7 p.m. at the Government Center, Hudson to discuss COMM 83. PLANNING BUSINESS Bills and Invoices The Committee reviewed the Revenue Report, showing $620.55. Planning bills in the amount of $600.34 were submitted for approval. Motion by Supervisor Malick, seconded by Supervisor Raymond to approve the May bills. Motion carried. Development Management Plan Implementation Denzer handed out copies of the Development Management Plan to the committee members. Members asked for spine labels. Denzer will provide. Staff will provide copies for all municipal clerks free of charge. A letter will be sent to all interested people on the plan mailing list offering copies of the plan for the cost of duplication and mailing. Raymond asked Fodroczi to prepare a chart on the completion of the zoning ordinance. Town Plans Staff will solicit feedback from towns regarding planning needs for town plans to meet the requirements of the state law and take advantage of the"smart growth" incentive money. Committee and staff discussed options for informing town officials of new planning requirements and identifying town needs for planning assistance. 1 Land Information Program Update Fodroczi reported that he sent a draft of the update of the Land Information Plan to the state requesting comments. He recently received approval of the draft from the Land Information Board. The Plan still needs to go before the committee and county board for approval. If changes are made at either of those steps, an amendment will be requested from the state. County Property Fodroczi reported that there are several recent activities with the County property in Hudson. There may be a special assessment for a sidewalk/bike path to the south and east of the government center. There have also been discussions with neighboring property owners regarding stormwater, which is to pond on the County's site. Staff is working with the Administrative Coordinator and Corporation Counsel and has provided information to the Finance Committee. Malick noted that in the past he has served as attorney for the Vine Street Professional Building west of the government center. Owners asked him to work for them on an added building, and they sought to buy more land from the County. Malick declared that he would end the attorney client relationship immediately, but noted he would always have a perceived conflict in this matter because of his prior association. Personnel Requests Fodroczi reported to the committee that he would be requesting an additional staff person to handle GIS and Planning duties related to assisting with town planning.Further information will be provided at the next meeting. Ordinance Amendments for Two Acre Minimum Lot Size Fodroczi presented two changes to the two-acre minimum lot size ordinance amendment based on the public hearing comments. Staff recommended language to allow a 1-acre minimum lot size in the Rural Planning Area for cluster subdivisions where the Town has adopted a cluster subdivision ordinance; and that the two-acre minimum be changed to a two-acre average with a 1.5-acre minimum lot size. This would keep the same density while allowing developers more flexibility in subdivision design. It would also provide enough acreage to eliminate the siting problems currently encountered with setbacks, septic systems, wells and larger homes. Discussion. The Committee suggested putting a definition of cluster subdivisions into the ordinance amendment to apply consistency to the provision. Staff will prepare the definition and present at the Wednesday, June 14th meeting in Hudson. Redistricting Activities Denzer reported that the Administration Committee has requested that she provide an update at the June 7'"County Board meeting regarding the background, process and timeline for redistricting. She continues to provide assistance as requested regarding mapping and population information to the Administration Committee. 2 PARK BUSINESS Bills and Invoices Parks Department bills in the amount of$73,702.94 for general expenses and $17,392.06 for snowmobile expenses were submitted for approval. Motion by Raymond seconded by Malick to approve the bills. Motion carried. Parks Director Joe Grant reported that he discussed bill-paying procedures with Finance Director Rich Loney. Loney does not require committee approval or committee chairman's signature before paying bills. All bills to pay budget amounts are paid when submitted. The Committee agreed that Chairman Raymond can work out a procedure to review bills with Grant. Malick suggested that a quarterly report on the status of the budget be provided in lieu of the monthly bill list. Homestead Parklands on Perch Lake Grant reported on the status of improvements at the park. The Highway Department has completed base construction on the two-way drive and entrance turning lanes. They will move their crew and equipment off the site and return later to complete their work. Park staff will review a project punch list on existing work with Highway staff on June 15'x. All utility work except telephone service is complete. Grant provided a Financial Report on the project. He indicated that construction costs are generally in line with work completed. He also said that revised project cost estimates based on preliminary design work by the project consultant would be available for review and discussion at the next meeting. Position Request Grant provided a job description and justification for a new position at Homestead Parklands. He indicated the opportunity for the position to oversee all the park properties in the western portion of the County in the future. Members recommended he add information to the justification for further review and action at the June 27`x' Committee meeting. W ildwood Trail Work is progressing well on the Trail. Raymond asked Grant to check with Corporation Counsel Timmerman regarding the status of the trail ownership. Glen Hills Golf Course Presentation by members of the Glen Hills Golf Club regarding the proposed expansion of the golf course from nine to 18 holes. A firm was hired by the Association to review options for expansion. The committee members were given copies of the plan. The Club chose option D. They plan to purchase about 44 acres of additional land from a private landowner. One of the holes goes through a very steep ravine that drains directly to Glen Lake. Committee members expressed concern with this design. The Club members stated that control of runoff would be dealt with appropriately in the design and construction. 3 Malick asked if the change in the golf course would necessitate a new legal description, rental rate and lease being negotiated. The Club members stated that they did not think those things would be needed. Committee members asked how much land would be needed from the parkland. The Club was unsure. The Club feels that the golf course would expand on parkland that is already included in their lease. Committee members felt that was incorrect. They agreed that the lease details would have to be evaluated. Park staff stated that they generally support golf course expansion. They agreed with the Golf Club members that the campground and golf course have a mutually supportive relationship. However, the Parks staff expressed the following concerns: ♦ more private land should be used to buffer the park areas; ♦ the design eliminates potential park expansion south of the lake and cuts back on options to expand on the east side of the lake; and ♦ potential damage to the lake from runoff during and after construction from the hole down the ravine. Tony Ninneman, president of the Golf Club, volunteered to be the contact person to discuss the project. Raymond declared the meeting recessed at 12:20 p.m. ZONING BUSINESS Viewings Committee members reconvened in Hammond at 1:30 p.m. to view the following properties: Galen Anderson Property-Town of Baldwin Three Putt LLC Property Town of Warren Dennis Raddatz Property-Town of Star Prairie Lawrence Martell Property-Town of Somerset Ralph&Marguerite Olson Property-Town of Stanton Motion by Luckey seconded by Raymond to adjourn at 4:45 p.m. Motion carried.
