St Croix County Corporation Counsel Greg Timmerman and Zoning Director Steve Fisher received a letter dated June 25Th, 1999 from Marcia Penner, Attorney for the Department of Natural Resources. Timmerman stated the letter is totally unresponsive to the issues. The Secretary of the Interior has set the Riverway boundaries. Timmerman's opinion is there is no question that the County can regulate lands outside of the Riverway, but would not be part of the Riverway District. After considerable discussion, the Chairman presented two options, one to accept Timmerman's opinion and modify the ordinance by changing the boundaries or two, leave the ordinance the way it is. There is a difference of opinion between the Corporation Counsel and the DNR regarding the language of what the County ordinance means. The other option of doing nothing and letting the attorneys settle the issues in Court, would force the landowner's to sue the County. The County would have to hire an outside attorney if that option is taken because Timmerman has issued a legal opinion to the contrary. Motion by Raymond, seconded by Hense to instruct the staff to prepare the necessary language to amend the ordinance in two ways. One set of amendments would make the Riverway boundaries coincide with the Federal Riverway boundaries. The other set of amendments would regulate all of the area described in the current ordinance revisions to be ready for the September 21ST County Board meeting. Motion carried. The amendments are to be reviewed at the next Zoning meeting. 3 _ i Ordinance Discussion A letter dated June 21, 1999 from Delores Vrieze, Clerk of Town of Rush River was presented to the Committee by Fisher. The contents indicated a problem with signing in the community. The Board, supported by the residents, felt they should be able to put reasonable signs on their own property. The County ordinance is regulates signage. Lively discussion with Corporation Counsel and public. Motion by Jensen, seconded by Hense to have staff proceed with draft language on Ag Zoning Commercial District. Glen Hills Moratorium Discussion Fisher presented a handout to the Committee concerning a study on the Glen Hills dams. There were ten dams constructed during the period of 1965-1975. The purpose of construction was to control floodwater. Fisher went on to say that the September 16, 1999 moratorium deadline could not be met. Chuck Christensen recommended a six month extension. It appears that the new flood plain language and maps will not be completed by the termination date of the current moratorium. The County Board must give final approval.
