Three applications were received in February. Planning and Zoning Business Bills and Revenue Reports - The January 2009 Planning Bills and Revenue Reports and the January 2009 Zoning Bills and Revenue Reports were reviewed by the Committee and signed by Vice Chair Norton- Bauman. Recycling Ordinance Review - Fodroczi reported that, in response to an email from Corporation Counsel regarding legal services, a meeting was held with Gene Ruetz, Sharon Norton- Bauman, Darrell Standafer, Chuck Whiting and Greg Timmerman. It was a very constructive meeting. Fodroczi then discussed the recycling ordinance further with Timmerman regarding where it is and what it was intended to be. They agreed that Timmerman would look at some of the provisions in the draft ordinance that were the largest questions. He is doing further review of the ordinance this week. The proposal for legal services will be put on hold. Fodroczi is expecting to report progress at the March meeting. 1 Comprehensive Plan Update — Denzer distributed the results of the St. Croix County Comprehensive Planning Public Opinion Survey. The information is on the website. The survey had a very good return rate of 44 %. She reviewed the executive summary included with the report. Hermsen stated that the summary is very biased. Denzer stated that survey staff can discuss the survey with the Committee at a future meeting. This item will be on the next Committee meeting agenda. She also reported that the Town of Star Prairie's comprehensive planning project is nearly complete. The final draft of the comprehensive plan is ready. They will hold a meeting this evening. One more public information meeting is scheduled on March 24 and a public hearing will be held after that. The next workshops for the 2008 comprehensive planning project will be held on February 18 and 25 at WITC. She encouraged Committee members to attend and bring another person with them. Code Administration Report — Grabau reported on the Sukowatey issues. Staff has been upholding the required court requirements, meeting dates, etc. but the Sukowateys declined to appear at the appropriate dates or had health issues and could not attend. We are not getting from them what is needed. The Sukowateys did come in the previous week about the list that was created of the items on their property. They want to go through the list item by item to state whether each item is junk or not. There are many vehicles and parts of vehicles. No date has been set to meet with the judge. Grabau expects the Sukowateys to disagree with what items on the list are considered junk. Don Gillen would like the judge to personally visit the site. Grabau stated that he met the previous week with Gillen about the Bettendorfs and the nonmetallic mining issue. Gillen put together a 12 question form. He reviewed all the files related to nonmetallic mining and referenced each with the ordinances. Floodplain Ordinance Amendments - Grabau distributed copies of the ordinance with highlighted changes. He explained that the changes were dictated by FEMA. The Wisconsin DNR also made some changes in the model ordinance, so we must make those changes in our floodplain ordinance as well. Our current maps are dated 1976. FEMA updated its maps in 2007. P &Z staff reviewed those maps then made comments and recommended changes. FEMA then made those changes and responded saying that these must be adopted by a certain date or St. Croix County would be out of the flood insurance program. Response to the recommended changes sent to the DNR was just received the previous week. The Committee needs to approve the amendments to take to public hearing. Grabau reviewed those changes with the Committee. Fodroczi explained the process. Motion by Post, 2nd by Sather to recommend proposed revisions to the floodplain overlay district as recommended by staff and review by FEMA and Wisconsin DNR. Motion carried. The Committee agreed to hold the public hearing on February 26 at 7:00 p.m. at the Government Center. Register of Deeds Business — The report was previously sent to Committee members. 2 Announcements and Correspondence - Fodroczi reported that the office remodeling is 80 -90 percent complete. It should be ready for a Committee tour at the March meeting. He and Committee members discussed a letter from the Western Wisconsin Land Development Professionals. Staff will meet with the principal members of that group. Possible agenda items for next meeting - Committee members asked that a representative of the UWRF Survey Research Center be at the March 10 meeting to answer questions. The meeting adjourned at 9:55 a.m. Respectfully submitted: y Olson(,/ Recording Secretary Lorin Sather, Secretary 02 -10 -09 3
