ZONING BUSINESS Mary Jenkins informed the committee that the Christopher French certified survey map will be postponed for today as the town has not taken any action on this item. Review amendment to zoning ordinance for Town of Hudson Jim Thompson presented the amendments to the zoning ordinance for the Town of Hudson. The Town of Hudson is required to get county approval for any changes to the ordinance. One of the amendments deals with permitted uses in the commercial zoning district and the other is an amendment to the special exception ordinance. Thompson recommends that the committee approve the amendments presented by the Town of Hudson. Motion by Raymond, second by Hense to approve the amendments. All in favor. Motion carried. Pleasant Valley Escrow request Jenkins explained that the Town of Pleasant Valley is requesting park escrow money in the amount of $541.42. This is for the building of two horseshoe pits and a volleyball area that was completed as an Eagle Scout Project. Motion by Larson, second by Jensen to approve the request. All in favor. Motion carried. Sonnentag Rezonment Jenkins explained that the ordinance that went to County Board on the Sonnentag Rezonement contained an incorrect legal description. The surveyor has provided the zoning office with the correct legal description and a new ordinance was completed and is ready to be presented to the County Board. The committee reviewed the new legal description. Motion by Hense, second by Jensen to approve the corrected ordinance and to forward it to the County Board. All in favor. Motion carried. Deer Path Subdivision Jenkins informed the committee that the name of this plat has changed from Deer Path to Deer Valley. Dave Hense stated that the Town of Troy has some issues with this subdivision. They have stated that they do not want a stub road in this subdivision. There was a meeting held between the developer, town, surveyor, zoning and land and water conservation to discuss this issue. At the meeting it was agreed that the road would be platted per county ordinance and that the town would have the option of requiring a temporary cul- de-sac or accepting the road for dedication without that portion being constructed. The town has now changed their position and does not want that portion to be platted or dedicated. Jenkins stated that this type of road is usually constructed, although the ordinance provides the committee the option of having it constructed or not. The committee discussed this issue further, and it was brought up by Supervisor Luckey that we need to look at the problem that could arise later regarding who is responsible for putting in the road if one is necessary in the future. The committee agreed that this is an issue that should be taken care of before the plat is approved. The Town should look at this and work with the developer on a plan for future development of the road. Jenkins stated that there was a stub road that was not constructed in the Town of Somerset in one of their subdivisions. However, the Town agreed to take responsibility for future construction. Dave Hense will take these ideas to the Town of Troy and discuss with them. Zoning Fee Structure There was a discussion held on the new fee schedule for the zoning office. Thompson stated that he is not comfortable with the proposed fees and would like to look into them further before taking them to County Board. The committee agreed that the new fee structure can be presented in January instead of December. Thompson will have more information on this at the next meeting on the 22nd. PLANNING BUSINESS Chairman Raymond stated that the committee members should have been notified of three meetings that will be held with the towns to discuss the revisions to the Plan. The meeting dates are: January 6th in Baldwin January 13th in New Richmond January 14th at the Government Center At these meetings, the towns will be briefed on the revisions that will be made by the Steering Committee. The committee agreed that these meetings will be held in a formal setting and will basically be for getting out information to the towns. The towns will then have the opportunity give their input on these revisions. Chairman Raymond stated that there is still a ways to go in this process, and the Plan will be discussed again on December 26th at the regular Planning, Zoning and Parks Committee. The Steering Committee meets again on December 27th and the Town's Association will be meeting on December 28th and there will also be discussion held at these meeting. The public hearings will be held after the committee agrees with the Plan that will be presented to the County Board. Chairman Raymond departed for Mr. Seim's funeral at 10:00 a.m. REGISTER OF DEEDS BUSINESS Kay Walsh, Register of Deeds, presented an ordinance to the committee establishing daily cut off times for 2 recording documents. She stated that they would like the cut off time to be 4:30 p.m. as it is difficult for the staff to get documents recorded by 5:00 p.m. if the public brings them in later than 4:30 p.m. The committee reviewed the ordinance (attached). Motion by Jensen, second by Luckey to approve the ordinance request. All in favor. Motion carried. This ordinance will now be presented to the county board. Walsh asked the committee to approve $1251.00 for surge protectors for their new computer system. She stated that this is very important for them to have. Walsh informed the committee that they are way over their projected fees that have been collected and believes that this would pay for the surge protectors. She stated that the projected Land Record fees for 1998 was $67,200.00. They have actually collected $89,384.00. That is $22,184.00 more than projected. Walsh further stated that the number of real estate documents that have been recorded is also up from their projected numbers for 1998. They had projected recording 16,800 documents and actually recorded 22,346. This amount is 5,546 more than projected. Walsh handed out to the committee a report listing these figures (attached). Motion by Larson, second by Jensen to approve $1251 for surge protectors for the Register of Deeds Office. All in favor. Motion carried. Walsh will discuss this with Rich Loney in finance. Municipal Plats Jenkins presented a municipal plat that was sent to us by the City of Hudson for the Rolland Place subdivision. She stated that we are an objecting authority. Motion by Jensen, second by Larson that committee has no objection. All in favor. Motion carried. Jenkins presented a municipal plat to the committee from the Village of Baldwin for the 4th Addition to the Hilkemma and Doornink subdivision. Motion by Luckey, second by Jensen that committe has no objection. All in favor. Motion carried. The Committee recessed at 10:20 a.m. to view the properties listed on the agenda.
