Riverway Discussion
A lengthy discussion was held on Riverway issues. 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.

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.

Tomorrow." He gave a brief outline of the topics that will be included in the seminar. Authorization for
