Viewings for the above rezonements will be January 12th at 9:00 a.m. by van. Hearings Lilly Martell, 533 Hwy. 35/64, Somerset, WI is the owner of the parcel. Janet Foster, 527 Hwy 35/64 Somerset, is the applicant for the variance. The request is for variance from the 500 ft. separation distance required between driveways. Mrs. Martell owns approximately 22 acres in Section 4, T3ON-RI 9W. She wishes to subdivide the acreage into three lots. The creation of three lots would require the construction of a joint access across an existing access. The two accesses have less than the 500 ft. separation required by the St Croix County Ordinance. As they existed prior to the effective date of the ordinance, they may remain as long as no improvements or additions are made to the driveways. Mrs. Martell is proposing to change the driveway to a joint access, therefore, it must meet today's standards. The Department of Transportation has a minimum spacing requirement of 1,000 ft. on STH 35/64. Correspondence from the Department of Transportation stated the existing driveway had been grandfathered in. New request for the driveway would include the new requirements of 1,000 ft. State has denied the request. Motion by Hense, seconded by Luckey to close hearing. Motion carried. Motion by Raymond, seconded by Hense to deny variance as a hardship was not found and State requirements not met. Motion carried. Fee Structure Zoning Specialist Jim Thompson presented the Committee with a list of the fee structures. Discussion. Thompson requested approval from the Committee for the increases. Motion by Raymond, seconded by Hense to approve fee increase. Motion carried. Thompson will get letters to the plumbers by January 1st and increases will take effect February Ist, 1999. 2 Dennis Emmert Rezoning Decision Jenkins summarized the Emmert rezoning. The initial hearing was held on October 29th at the Erin Prairie Town Hall. Mr. Emmert had requested four acres to be rezoned from Agriculture to Commercial. A decision on the request was postponed at that time to allow the Committee to obtain further information. John Dalton, Chairman of Erin Prairie, appeared and believes rezonement would be good for competition. Question arose from Supervisor Larson regarding a need for a septic system. Emmert would continue to own the land, which in turn would be leased by the gas company. Corporation Counsel Greg Timmerman appeared on behalf of the County. Discussion. He had significant concerns about this rezonement. Timmerman recommends denial of the rezonement as this would appear to be a case of "spot zoning"and not legal. Motion by Luckey, seconded by Hense to deny rezonement to Commerical for the reasons that spot zoning is not desirable or legal. Motion carried. Discussion of Riverway Boundary Locations Thompson updated the Committee on the Riverway Boundary Locations. He is in the process of putting the topographical maps together. Discussion. Thompson stated Madison is very adamant about leaving the boundaries as they are. The Committee will review this topic again at the January 12th meeting. Any Other Business Thompson and Jenkins met with Jim Fritzpatrick from the Carpenter Nature Center last week on the Stanley Pond rezoning. This will be brought before the Committee again within the next few weeks. No other business presented. PARK BUSINESS Park Bills & Invoices Park Director Joe Grant presented a list of the November bills for $52,716.37. Motion by Hense, seconded by Jensen to approve bills. Motion carried. Park Managers Report Grant spoke to the Committee concerning the need for a building at Glen Hills Park. Committee instructed Grant to have a decent building put up. Preliminary size of building was reviewed. Grant monies were approved for Pine Lake Park. Grant met with the Highway Department on December 3rd regarding the Perch Lake plan. Grant will be looking at future funding for the Perch Lake Project. Glen Hills Park -Maintenance Building Grant approached the Committee with the need for a maintenance building. A drawing of the requested building was marked as handout number one. Proper permits will be issued. Pine Lake Park -Alliance Grant The Pine Lake Park Alliance Grant was approved. Minimum discussion. Troy Park Road On December 9th the Finance Department set bond at $150,000.00 for Troy Park Road. Grant stated the Highway Department and Timme, Inc would complete the initial inspection today at 1:00 p.m. The Park Department has used a video camera and has also photographed the road. Grant reported some equipment has been moved to the site already. No key will be given until the agreement is signed. An Access Agreement (two page draft dated 12-21-1998) labeled as handout number two was presented to the Committee. Discussion. Some language changes to include that the agreement is made between St Croix County and Timme, Inc., and not St Croix County Parks Department. The dates of the agreement shall be effective from Jan 1, 1999 to March 1, 1999. Also number 10 of the access agreement should read Timme, Inc. shall be responsible for seal coating the park road in trap rock at the completion of the project. It has been determined John Krizek, Tom Dorsey, Sue Nelson and Timme, Inc. should sign the agreement. Grant will speak to Corporation Counsel in regard to the proposed changes. Perch Lake -Phase I Engineering Grant met with the Highway Department December 3rd concerning engineering and construction on the roads and turn lane. Erosion control and water quality were stressed. Grant to meet with County's Administrator on some concerns. Highway will do the job, but the Parks Department may need help with the visitor center. Handout number three by Grant was a list of what the Park Department would like to see implemented. Committee expressed a need to prioritize the project's needs. Phase I is to be completed in the year 2000. A full-time staff person will be needed about a year after completion. Grant would like a kiosk in the visitor center with history and pictures of Perch Lake. Committee would also like the original sign in the outhouse preserved as part of the history. Grant stressed that engineering may be needed for the toliet facilities, fishing piers and kiosk. Wildwood Trail - Bridge Rehab Grant Wildwood Trail culverts are now installed, work is completed. Grant will submit the proper paperwork for the Grant now that all work is completed. Handout marked number four was reviewed at length with the Committee. Highway work was completed under budget for the project. Awards totaled $56,161.00 while expenses for the project left a net balance of $405.44. Snowmobile Association Snowmobile trails are still closed at this time. Irrigation pipes at the VanDyk Farms near Boardman had been damaged by snowmobilers. Grant submitted a claim to the County's insurance company and was denied payment. Grant is concerned about this denial as part of going out to the public to request private citizens allow usage of their land for trails is the fact that they are insured. Parties on behalf of the proposed Casino have approached snowmobile Clubs with a promise for donations to their Clubs. Other Business The International Tractor is in need of repair. The estimate from Greenfield's is about $3,000.00 for the engine to be overhauled. The engine is knocking and pistons need to be bored. Line item transfer from the budget may be necessary. A second tractor is necessary in order to complete many jobs efficiently. 4 PLANNING BUSINESS Planning Bills, Invoices & Revenue Report Committee members reviewed the Revenue Report. Planning Department bills for the month of November totaled $1,455.40. Motion by Jensen, seconded by Larson to approve bills as submitted for November. Motion carried.

These meetings will be informational and parties attending will be asked to rate the new change on the Plan before it moves to the Planning, Zoning and Park Committee for acceptance. Bikeway Planning Fodroczi introduced Ray Drake, Planner for the Department of Transportation's Bicycle Facilities. Drake explained that the Department would pay 80% of the cost for planning bicycle facilities at this time. State would provide $80,000.00 in funding. They would like more comprehensive planning for the entire State for bike trails. A consultant would complete planning the bike trails. Citizen Marion Weber requested the Committee actively get involved today. Committee member Linda Luckey believes this to be a worthwhile project and volunteered to work with staff to evaluate for Committee review at a time more convenient to this Committee's calendar. Motion by Larson, seconded by Jensen to table for three months. Luckey opposed. Motion carried. GIS Implementation Fodroczi reported that the file server was ready to go. Mapping Technician Renee Potter completed training last week. The County will be given extra time for training as software did not arrive in time. The Committee will see something of note after the first quarter of next year. 1998 Tax Processing Tax processing went remarkably well. A work sheet was given to the Committee with dates for each municipality that information was processed. Fodroczi stated the State imposed deadline of December 8, 1998 was not an enforced deadline. The only real difficulty was with Hudson's electronic file. Raymond requested Fodroczi commend staff that a good job was done by the Real Property Lister's Office. Fodroczi agreed.
