Parcel number 032-2082-80-000. Dear Mr. Squire: This letter confirms zoning approval according to plans submitted on July 6, 2017 to install a dog kennel fence with a crushed gravel base. Staff finds that the proposed installation meets 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 1.2 acre lot, which is located in the Rural Residential Management Zone of the Lower St. Croix Riverway District. 2. Construction of a fence and crushed gravel base is allowed with a Land Use Permit if all the requirements of 17.36 H. are met. 3. 17.36 H. 1. is met since the fence, posts and gravel will be earth tone in color. 4. The fence will not be in the slope preservation zone so it meets the requirements in 17.36 H.3. The gravel base is exempt from the structure definition because it is considered a filled area. The disturbance of the sparse amount of vegetation is part of the landscaping plan. 5. The disturbed area for installing the posts will be less than 100 square feet of disturbance and so stormwater and erosion control plans will not be required. 6. The fence meets the required 50 foot road setback, 25 foot side yard setback. The fence is approximately 80 feet to the slope preservation zone but is not visible so it meets the criteria to be placed 40 feet from the bluffline. 7. The existing structures and proposed kennel gravel base will result in 6.8% of impervious surface area. The vegetation disturbance is beyond the 75 foot vegetative buffer boundary. Therefore, this proposal is in compliance with the Shoreland Ordinance Phone 715.386.4680 Government Center, 1101 Carmichael Road, Hudson, WI 54016 Fax 715.386.4686 www.sccwi.us/cdd www.focebook.com/stcroixcountVwi cdd(cDco.soint-croix.wi.us II * r 2 Co n)ill fill it y DeveIop ment Departntertt 8. The structure is located in Zone X of the floodplain map and is outside the 100 year floodplain. This land use permit approval to construct a dog kennel fence with a gravel base is approved as indicated in the plans submitted, and as provided in the conditions below: 1. Contact the Town of Somerset to see if they have any building permit requirements. I 2. All activities approved as part of this land use permit shall commence within one year from the date of approval and be substantially completed within two years, after which time the permit expires pursuant to Section 17.36 J.7 of the Ordinance. Prior to expiration, the applicant may request extensions of up to six months from the Zoning Administrator. The total time granted for extensions shall not exceed one year. This approval does not allow for any additional construction, grading, filling, or clearing of vegetation beyond the limits of this request. Your information will remain on file in the St. Croix County Planning and Zoning Department. It is your responsibility to ensure compliance with any other local, state, or federal rules or regulations. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns.

L (SACN) July 7, 2017 Spike Squire and David Valentine 1502 Twin Springs Road Somerset, Wisconsin 54025 RE: LOSA 12-167 Dear Mr. Squire and Mr. Valentine: Thank you for submitting the updated plans for a dog run on your property located at 1502 Twin Springs Road, Somerset, WI. We have also received your emails and site plan drawings dated June 26, 2017 requesting permission to construct a dog run on the southeast side of the house off of the garage. The proposed dog run will be approximately 17' x 50' x 5' with the side closest to the road being slightly convex. The dog run will extend a maximum of 10' beyond the northern side of the existing garage. The fencing materials will be a combination of wood which will be stained or painted to match the color of the existing house at 6 ft high and black. non-climb horse fence on the sides facing the river at 4 ft in height. Within the dog run you propose to place crushed limestone. You also propose to plant shrubs on the river side of the 10" extension to make the fencing even less visible. The current vegetation here must be maintained so that it continues to screen the house and all structures and human activity on the property from view of the river. The planting of shrubs will ensure that this dog run will not have a visual impact on the St. Croix River, now or in the future. Based upon an inspection of your property by Jody on April 21, 2017 and review of the updated plans we believe the new location for the dog run and the fencing materials to be permissible under the terms of the easement presently in effect on your property. The future plans of the exercise area should be resubmitted with detailed drawings and construction materials at the time you are ready to proceed with them. You should note that our approval of this project is contingent upon your compliance with other applicable land use controls as required by the easement. It in no way evaluates the merits of the project in relation to local, county, or state zoning, and thus does not preclude or supersede any actions by those units of government. Therefore, you need to comply with any land use controls or requirements of Somerset Township, St. Croix County, and the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, to whom a copy of this letter is being sent. • If you have any questions please call me at 715-483-2261 or email at laura_hojem@nps.gov. Your cooperation in the compliance with the terms of the scenic easement on your property is appreciated. Sincerely, Laura L. Hojem Lands Program Manager cc: Jeri Koester Somerset Township Clerk P.O.
