Chairman Raymond informed the Committee he would not be available for the August 24, 1999 meeting. PARK BUSINESS Bills and Invoices Parks Director Joe Grant presented the June bill list of $1,983.13 for review. Motion by Hense, seconded by Larson to approve payment. Motion carried. Park Manager's Report Grant met with Deb Kathan, of the Personnel Department, regarding a job description and title for the new position request made for the Parks Department. The job title will most likely be Secretary/Clerk. Grant provided a handout with the title and job description. Decision will be made on July 19"' or July 20th Glen Hills Maintenance Building The site preparation is completed. The building materials were delivered today. Dave Helgeson, the electrician for the project will start the end of July or the first part of August. Perch Lake Grant met with several staff members here in the Planning Department on June 20. That same afternoon they visited Perch Lake Park. A memo dated July 8 h, 1999 and map was sent to the Committee. The memo describes the pertinent reasons for the proposed alignment. After site visit, the staff, including Jeff Durkee, felt that the second option was the best. Dave Larson indicated that the proposed grade would be easily maintained. Bob Heise said proposed road alignment fit the natural topography. Pete Kling is happy with the protection of water quality with this road alignment. Jeff Durkee requested that curves be held to standard radius for engineering purposes. While in the field, the staff considered the neighbor's privacy. Staff felt that there is a lot of natural screening near the O'Connell property. The proposed recommendation 1 for road alignment is below grade. With the berming, the road probably won't be seen. Chairman Raymond would like an evaluation of routes previously suggested with parameters to see sound reasoning for final decision on road alignment. Motion by Larson, seconded by Hense, to accept staff's recommended alignment as shown on the map. Neighbor Tom Clubb spoke, strongly opposing the recommended alignment of the road. He believes the road, on this map, will come within 100 ft. of his living room. Larson withdrew his motion; Hense withdrew his second, if a decision will be made at the July 27th meeting. Motion withdrawn. The Committee agreed to move on the decision. Staff will meet with the neighbors. Clubb gave permission to enter his property for viewing. Any Other Business Dave Larson reported that Donna Seim called in a complaint on July 0 of illegal entry to the park. Fences had been cut in three places, fires were built, four wheelers have used the area and an old plow was also discovered missing. Larson requested direction from the Committee. The Committee instructed Larson to give a warning, then a County Ordinance Citation and State prosecution if a citation failed to stop the activity. Chairman Raymond referred to a letter from citizen William Bader concerning Troy Beach. The resident felt the Park fees should be increased for out-of-state cars. Grant strongly opposed the increase in fees, citing all park users should be treated equal. Discussion. Grant will view the area after the meeting today to see if sand has perhaps washed up on the surface of the parking area. He will follow up with a letter to Mr. Bader. Budget items for the Parks Department will be reviewed on July 27 h & July 28th if need be. PLANNING BUSINESS Bills, Invoices and Revenue Report Planning Director Dave Fodroczi presented bills totaling $483 8.77 for the month of June 1999. The Revenue Report was reviewed by the Committee. Motion by Larson, seconded by Hense to approve payment of bills. Motion carried. Development Management Plan & Ordinance Fodroczi informed the Committee all the text and map changes to the plan have been made based on previous actions. Planning is working with WCRP on revision to the changes on density. Chairman Raymond stated that he felt the plan did not meet the primary goals and felt we need to incorporate some brief type of land use plans for each of the towns to see how the lands can be used. Lengthy discussion ensued. Motion by Larson, seconded by Hense to hold two informational meetings on the final draft of the plan, one in Hudson and one in Baldwin. Motion carried. The plan will return to the Committee for further consideration after the information meetings, prior to any formal public hearings. 2 ZONING BUSINESS Riverway Zoning Director Steve Fisher presented two different draft proposals on the Riverway issue. See handouts in packet. One, to prepare a boundary description consistent with the Lower St Croix Riverway District as established in the Master Plan jointly prepared by the States of Minnesota and Wisconsin and the National Park Service. Two, prepare a proposal for a County Riverway District which would include some or all of the land we currently regulate in our Riverway District. The third option is to do nothing. Consistent with the PZPC direction, staff has proposed three options pertaining to the possible amendment of St Croix Zoning Ordinance, Section 17.36, St Croix River Valley District. Corporation Counsel endorses option one. Spirited discussion. Motion by Raymond, seconded by Hense to agree to Option #2. See handout attached to memo of 7/12/99. Hense and Luckey will assist Fisher with this project. Motion carried. Direct Marketing for Farm Products Fisher presented a copy of State Statute 91.75, Subchapter V, Exclusive Agricultural Zoning.
