Road engineering for Perch Lake was reviewed. No word has been received on the grant monies at this time. A discussion was held concerning the Perch Lake Road. Park and Outdoor Recreation Plan Discussion was held on the Outdoor Recreation Plan. They are working on the final draft at this time. Supervisor Hense stated the safety issues are important without park update. Park equipment is a concern. The Committee emphasized we should view this "park update" as positive. There are some problems that simply need correction. The Committee requested Grant to inventory problems and itemize and outline proposal for park update with amounts needed for those concerns. The need to prioritize was emphasized. Recommendations should be prepared for the meeting scheduled for January l 1ffi. County Planner Denzer reviewed a handout of the Recreation Plan. The plan will be about sixty pages. Denzer is targeting January/February for County Board adoption. Apple River, Wildwood Trail and Homestead Park will have maps and pictures. Pine Lake and Glen Hills are being worked on at this time. 1 I I Glen Hills Golf Course Grant discussed the Glen Hills Golf Course proposal for land leasing. The proposed expanded golf course includes eight holes on County owned land and one on private land. A handout was given to Committee for review. The Committee reviewed the State Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan (SCORP) and the St Croix County Outdoor Recreation Plan. In the SCORP plan, activities such as hiking, nature study and bird watching were more popular than golfing based on a DNR Survey of State residents. The golf course expansion is proposed on two areas which have been identified in the St Croix County Outdoor Recreation Plan as possible sites for future campground expansion. Supervisors Luckey and Hense are concerned with losing more public land. Their consensus is there are many more golf courses than parks. Any Other Business Viewing of Glenwood Park/Golf Course, Rocky Knoll Estates, Glenn Brenne, Daryl and Lurene Bahnsen, and the LaVenture property was completed by the Committee. PLANNING BUSINESS Bills and Invoices The Committee resumed their formal meeting at the Government Center at 3:00 p.m. Bills and invoices for the Planning Department were not prepared due to death of secretary's mother. Those reports will be ready for next meeting on December 215`. The Committee agreed to delay the review. County Development Management Plan A packet was sent to the Committee with the revisions of Chapter Six and Chapter Seven based on the public hearings discussed at the last meeting. A summary report including the written comments received after the hearings was given. Planning Director Dave Fodroczi indicated that several comments suggested that the plan should be based on the modified compact development (70/30) alternatives instead of the modified current trends alternative. They included Wisconsin DOT and Wisconsin DNR among others. Discusssion. Staff felt that there had been much discussion and compromise on this issue in the Steering Committee, and it would be difficult to get agreement for this change. Committee members concurred. Citizen Wayne Federer addressed the Committee. He commended staff for the fine work on the plan but felt the County should have a stronger plan. He believes it is critical to have an interim ordinance for subdivision based on conservation design. Mr. Federer believes the County needs to take leadership role on this issue. Education is the answer. Buck Malick also addressed the Committee. He wondered if conservation design would sell in this County. He thought that there may be an overabundance of buildings, and growth will be concentrated in parts of the County that are not able to deal with it effectively. Supervisor Luckey reviewed language added to the general plan in response to Malick's concern. The County will provide technical support and expertise to encourage and facilitate local plans, encourage coordinated planning among local governments, and monitor the impact of growth and development on schools and coordinate with local school boards. 2 III Motion by Larson, seconded by Raymond to take the Development Plan to the County Board as submitted today. Discussion. Motion unanimously carried. The Plan will proceed to County Board. The resolution will be ready for signature on Wednesday. Discussion. Larson and Raymond agreed to withdraw motion due to the format of the motion. Motion withdrawn. Motion by Larson, seconded by Raymond, that this Committee recommends approval of this plan to the County Board for adoption as submitted. Motion carried. Supervisor Jensen opposed. Real Property Lister Planning Director Fodroczi reported the progress of the processing of tax statements for this year. The process is about three days off schedule at this time.
