Motion carried. OLD AND NEW BUSINESS Public Hearing — Waiver from Land Division Regulations Ruetz opened the public hearing at 3:07 p.m. The public hearing notice was acknowledged for the record and turned over to Blackburn. APPLICANT: Sharon Johnson LOCATION: N 1/2 of SW 1 /, SEC 32 T30N R19W, Town of St. Joseph ADDRESS: 434 Rolling Hills Lane, Hudson REQUEST: To reduce the setback from 100 feet as platted to 75 feet pursuant to section 13. l OB.1 of the St. Croix County Land Division Ordinance. Blackburn reviewed the staff report as well as the applicant's proposal and site pictures of the proposed waiver. The purpose of the request is to reduce the setback on lot 1 on the Plat of Johnson Parkway from 100 feet to 75 feet on Rolling Hills Lane. Staff recommended the committee approve the requested waiver based on the following findings of fact: 1. The reduced setback would not violate the public interest in terms of health and safety. 2. Granting this waiver would be consistent with the preservation and enjoyment of substantial property rights. 3. A 75 -foot setback would be consistent with our current ordinance. The condition is that the applicant needs to work with a registered Land Surveyor to record an affidavit of map correction. Ruetz asked if anyone wished to speak in favor. Clendenen spoke in favor indicating that many of the other properties on this road are well within the 100 foot setback, closer to 75 feet. 1 Reierson added that the direct neighbor on the immediate east, whose property is a Certified Survey Map, actually has a house situated at a 66 foot setback. Ruetz asked if anyone wished to speak in opposition. No response. Reutz closed the public hearing at 3:13 p.m. Motion by Sather, 2 nd by Post to approve the waiver request. Motion carried. Land Use Ordinance Applications Municipal Plats: None Waivers and Rezones to be scheduled: None Discussion of Plats and CSM's currently in the review process: Blackburn reviewed the list of August and September submittals. Six CSM applications were received in September. Planning and Zoning Business Recycling Ordinance Review: Fodroczi summarized the previous direction given from the committee in May to consult with the DNR. Staff initially submitted the existing ordinance, proposed ordinance and e -mail correspondence from Corporation Counsel for DNR review. Phone conversations were then held with staff from the State and Regional DNR offices. Preliminary information was shared with Corporation Counsel and specific questions were developed. A list of detailed questions was submitted to the DNR to which they responded in writing followed by a conference call to discuss their comments. Based on the feedback from the DNR, additional changes have been proposed for the current draft of the ordinance, which should now be ready for final legal review. Post motioned to submit the Recycling Ordinance to Corporation Counsel for review, 2 nd by Norton- Baumann. The Committee discussed the history of ordinance development, responsible unit status and DNR input in response to questions from Hermsen. Motion carried, Hermsen and Sather opposed. Comprehensive Plan Update: Denzer reported moving forward with the Comprehensive Plan. Vision statements were previously given to the Committee for final edits, and there were no comments received from the advisory committee, so we are starting to draft individual plan elements. Staff is also reviewing the draft Comprehensive Plan from the Town of Forest. The City of Hudson has also indicated their Comprehensive Plan is nearly complete. Fodroczi indicated staff will be attending different sessions on the Working Lands Initiative, which will explain requirements for Farmland Preservation. These will be incorporated into our Comprehensive Plan. These sessions are the first opportunity to hear about grant contracts and funding, which will help us to finalize work plans for the next 1 '/2 years. Denzer added that the first open house activity promoted to the public will possibly be scheduled for the first week in November. Hermsen questioned the time Denzer has spent on the Comprehensive Plan and the Farmland Preservation Plan. Fodroczi explained the Comprehensive Plan and contract assistance to local communities consumes most of Denzer's time. The Comprehensive plan has a 50% match for staff time, and there is an in- kind staff time match to grant funds. We expect a $30,000 grant for the Farmland Preservation Plan. 2 Code Administration Report: Grabau reported on the Sukowatey file. Everything on the list that the Judge gave is gone. Based on the judgment, this was as much as we could do. Grabau updated the Bettendorf file and stated he is working with Heather Wolske and Steve Olson to meet with Matthew Biegert, the attorney for Bettendorf. Wolske has sent him a letter indicating our concerns and is waiting to hear on dates to meet. Announcements 2010 Budget: Fodroczi indicated that he, along with Ruetz, appeared in front of the Finance Committee. He stated that nothing was approved or changed, and there were no more directions given. Per conversations with Michelle Pietrick and Chuck Whiting, there will be no actions taken until after the County Board meeting. Norton - Baumann indicated the Finance Committee would like input from County Board regarding the budgets before Finance meets again. Possible Agenda Items for Next Meeting: Hermsen stated he would like staff to report on what other ordinance work is being done that is outside the direction of this committee. The meeting adjourned at 4:42 p.m. Respectfully submitted: Y l Monica Lucht, Recording Secretary Ldfin Sather, Secretary September 15, 2009 3
