There are many inconsistencies throughout the ordinance in this area. This amendment would cover the entire zoning ordinance. The staff would like this to go to County Board in April, if possible. Eslinger stated that Planning has developed some language to address this issue, and is included in the handout. Eslinger went over the handout with the Committee. There was a lengthy discussion held on the 50% rule for non-conforming structures. Greg Timmerman, Corporation Counsel, stated that we will need 1 to address the issue of reconstruction of non-conforming homes in the Shoreland that are destroyed. There is a new State Statute that deals with this, and we need to take a look at it. Timmerman also stated that the requirements for floodproofing homes in floodplain areas are regulated by the Federal Government and they define the criteria for them. He further stated that anything located in the part of the Riverway, under N.R. 118 would still need to be reviewed by the DNR. The Committee will review the handout and discuss again at a future meeting. Dave Hense and Linda Luckey will review and work with the staff on this. Bob Rolle, Town of Troy, addressed the Committee on this issue. He would like the Committee to look at the Riverway as being separate from the other zoned areas. He feels that the Riverway should not be subject to the 50% rule. There have been numerous Riverway meetings on this issue, and the feeling is that there should be public hearings held, as it will affect many homeowners in the St. Croix Riverway District, as many homes have been there a long time and are non-conforming. He further stated that people do not have objections to reasonable rules in the Riverway that deal with reconstruction, but do not believe there should be a 50% rule. Rolle has some information on this issue that he will get to the Zoning staff. Timmerman added that the staff will look into some of the wording in the proposed amendment, particularly 3.c. under non-conforming structures. The Committee recessed at 11:45 a.m. The Committee reconvened at 11:55 a.m. Ordinance Discussion—St. Croix Riverwav Chairman Raymond stated that the issues relating to the Lower St. Croix Riverway boundaries will be brought to County Board on February 15th. They will present the three options outlined by Zoning, and get the opinion of the Board. Francis Ogden, addressed the Committee on the issue of the county boundaries on the St. Croix River. He is a civil engineer in River Falls and has been since 1969. He is concerned about the problems that have surfaced with regard to these boundaries. There have been major plats approved by the Committee that did not show lots in the Riverway, pursuant to maps that were used at that time. Further investigation revealed that the lots are in the Riverway, according to county boundaries. This has created problems for developers. Timmerman went over a map with the Committee that shows the State, Federal and County boundaries. With regard to the County boundaries, Timmerman stated that back in 1977, the DNR rejected the ordinance proposed by the County, and therefore, believes that these county boundaries are not valid. Chairman Raymond stated that Mr. Ogden's points are valid and the committee will discuss this in more depth with the staff. The Committee wants this to go to County Board in February, as a decision needs to be made on this issue. The Committee recessed at 12:30 p.m. The Committee reconvened at 1:45 p.m. There was more discussion held on the Riverway issue. The Committee was in agreement that all previously approved subdivisions are to remain as they were approved, based on the Riverway maps that were used at the time of approval. The Committee and staff will prepare a summary to present to the County Board on February 15th Glen Hills Moratorium Eslinger went over the memo that was handed out to the Committee. He and Bob Heise, of Land and Water Conservation, met with the Springfield and Glenwood townships, on January 10th and January 11th respectively, to update them on where they are at with regard to the moratorium. The turn out was good and there were good discussions held. Staff met with Dunn County on January 17th to discuss the Glen Hills Moratorium to see if any action was needed from Dunn County. Eslinger referred to the studies noted in the handout and stated that these studies will be incorporated into 2 the floodplain language. The proposed ordinance will be given to the Committee at the meeting on February 22nd for their review. This will also be sent to Gary LePak of the DNR for review and approval. The staff would like to have public hearings held on this in March, and would like to take this proposed language to County Board in April. Bob Heise presented a composite map on the Glen Hills Moratorium and Floodplain Areas. This map is to help people identify where their property is located in relation to the floodplain areas. The map is informational only; the landowner needs to contact the County for the exact locations. There will be a statement placed on the map regarding this. The towns will have a map like this one. Jensen stated that the towns were in favor of this map. Eslinger added that if there are any discrepancies when building, it will be caught at the sanitary permit level when reviewed. Chairman Raymond stated that staff needs to make sure that if an alarm system is needed for this flood area, money will have to be allocated for it. This will be discussed again at the February 22nd meeting. Selection of Vendor for Zoning Software Eslinger informed the Committee that the Zoning department has conducted a search for a new permit tracking system and has decided on the GeoTMS permitting system by DesLauriers and Associates, Inc. He handed out information on this system and the selection process. The staff is asking for Committee approval for Zoning to purchase this software. If the Committee approves, Zoning will take this proposal to the Information Systems Committee for their approval. After some discussion, a motion was made by Raymond, second by Hense to approve this request. All in favor. Motion carried. Deputy Zoning Administrator Training There was a discussion held on how to go about training for the Deputy Zoning Administrators. Fisher added that there is a part of the new ordinance that relates to the Deputy Zoning Administrators and their duties. Comm 83 Update Eslinger informed the Committee that the State is in the process of passing a new Com 83, that will have some counties looking at a moratorium on new technologies for sanitary systems for new construction. These new types of systems do include soil absorption systems, so he does not see why St. Croix County would have a problem with them. They are environmentally sensitive. This information today is just an update for the Committee. Eslinger will keep them informed. Eslinger also told the Committee that the Department of Commerce will no longer be reviewing plats for septic systems that require state approval. This puts more responsibility on the county, but Eslinger does not see this as big problem. The subdivision ordinance will have to be updated to include this change. Eslinger will present the update to the Committee when it is ready. i Direct Farm Marketing Ordinance Fisher handed out a draft ordinance to the Committee and explained to them where the staff is at on this proposed ordinance. There was some discussion. The Committee will read over the draft and discuss at the next Zoning meeting. There being no other business, a motion was made by Hense, second by Jensen to adjourn. All in favor. Motion carried. Meeting adjourned at 3:20 p.m. Respectfully submitted: Debra Zimmer n, Recording Secretary Gerald Larson, Secretary 3 ATTACHMENT A MINOR SUBDIVISIONS January 25, 2000 1.
