DonaEd Rodahl Thompson explained that Saddle Ridge is a Planned Unit Development that received approval in 1991. The ordinance no longer deals with this and Mr. Rodahl is back here today with a revised plan. He has approval to build four twin homes on a 16 acre parcel.

He explained to the board that there is a new concept in planned unit developments that he would like to try. That concept is building twin homes that are detached.

Sherman explained that the ordinance does not address this, but it did at the time ofi his approval in 1991. She further explained that townhomes have a zero !ot line and in a planned unit development, the buyer purchases the home and the open space is common open space. It was noted that additional driveways are not in yet, and that driveways will be blacktopped. The Board will visit the site. Richard 1N. LaCasse Thompson explained that Mr. LaCasse has purchased 8 lots that have existed since 1951. He 4 laps to combine the 8 lots into 4 to help meet the driveway separations.

There has p been a management plan drawn up, and Thompson would like the 105 dry cows that are kept on the Vrieze Farm added to the Management Nutrient Plan. Thom son went on to ex lain that there are concerns on notification of adjoining landowners, p p long term leases and materials not bung available ~n the file two weeks prior to this hearing.

I 'I Exhibit 8: Copy ofi Vvaste Storage System Plan Exhibit 9: Copy ofi Chapter N.R. 243 Exhibit 10: Construction Plans for lagoon from Tiry Engineering The Board reviewed Exhibit 5 and Exhibit 8 with Thompson. There was some discussion on the VIJPDS permit to be issued by DNR. Eunice Post will check into this. ' John Vrieze, being duly sworn, stated that he is the co-owner of Baldwin Dairy and they are askin to increase their herd to about double the size they currently have. He stated that g although a dairy this size may be unique to St. Croix County, it is not unique in other parts of the state. Baldwin Dairy will be specializing in strictly milking cows and will milk 24 hours a day. He further stated that the DNR permit that was referred to is all fiilled out and ready to go. Tiry Engineering is working with the review people. They also plan to build another lagoon, which would be larger than the existing one. After talking with Jim Thompson, he called all of the landowners that were not notified by zoning and spoke with them about his proposed project. ' ~ ~I1 be able ~I' Vrieze believes that he wil[ have more than enough land to spread the waste, and w to rent more from neighbors if needed. He believes his leases to be adequate, and the ones that end in 1999 will be renewed, and if something happens that it is not, they will have ' r land from other nei hoors. Vrieze stated that the watch the adequate time to obtain mo e g Y nitrate levels very closely. Vrieze went on to explain why they ran out of space in the current pit last year and had to spread manure in the winter. They ended up lining it with more clay than was intended, so it was smaller than they thought. The new pit will be large enough to accommodate the waste. Vrieze has no laps to ex and an more at this site. They hope to house all of the dry cows p p Y at another site in approximately one year. Vrieze went on the explain that they purchase l0 to 80 percent ofitheirfeed firom Julimar Dairy. Right now, one truck delivers to their farm per day. Vrieze told the Board that this type of farming is the wave of the future and he believes that it has great potential. He added that he is very committed to this operation. Bob Heise bein dul sworn, is with the St. Croix County Land and Vllater Conservation. He g Y a rees that the 105 dry cows should be incorporated into the 590 plan. He also thinks that g Vrieze needs to have lease agreements for up to 5 years. Heise added that the DNR is involved at this point, as Vrieze is over 1,000 animal units. Heise said that it is important that the lagoon that is to be built is big enough so that they do not need to spread more than a couple times a year. They also need to have a plan for testing water. He believes that the 590 plan is adequate, but wants to see the 105 dry cows added. Tim Popple and Pete Kling from Land and 1lvater Conservation put together the 590 plan and they have a lot of experience in this area. 6  i _ i. Mike Tiry, being duly sworn, is with Tiry Engineering out of Chippewa Falls and has worked in this field all of his life. He ave a ve detailed explanation of pit design using overheads and g rY showing the Board data that he has on construction and usage of the pit. He believes this type of it to be ve a ro riate for the Vrieze operation. The clay used in the pit is very erosive p rY Pp p resistant and very durable as a liner. There should not be any problems with this type of liner for man ears. As far as monitorin wells is concerned, he believes that this would be YY g appropriate far the Vrieze project because the water table is not very deep. Ken Peterson, being duly swam, states that he is the Chairman of the Town of Hammond. Vrieze came before the town board and there was no apposition by anyone. The board unanimously voted to approve the application. The town believes that Vrieze will cooperate in any way and they have no concerns at the town level. Lar Sanford, being duly sworn, states that he is co-owner ofthe land to the east of the Vrieze rY property. He stated his concerns to be the odor from the operation and who would be liable for any spills, as his property is very close to the Vrieze operation. He suggested that maybe a berm could be built between the two properties. He also wants Vrieze to be sure that the new la oon is a ro riatel sized to handle the amount of waste produced by this operation. g pp p Y John Vrieze, being previously sworn, stated that he too wants to make sure that the new [agoon is lar a enou h for his o eration. He has done everything that has been asked, including g 9 p putting licimeters in the first lagoon, and now is being told that they may not be the best way to go. He will do whatever it takes to assure the county and the neighbors that the operation will be run appropriately. He further stated that there will be 3 people on site at ail times. They have a ve ood system for emptying the pit. Vrieze told the Board that he would be willing rY g to build a berm between his operation and the Sanford property if they felt it was needed. Dean Doornink bein dul sworn, stated that he um s the pit for Vrieze. He has been doing g y p p this t pe of work for 5 years and has had one spill. It was a very small spi[I and they had it Y cleaned up quickly and properly. He assured the Board that they are very careful when pumping out pits. The Board will visit the site today.
