The hearing notice was read into the record. Zoning Business: Patricia A. & Phillip M. LaVenture to rezone approximately 10.6 acres of land from Ag Residential to Commercial. Location: A parcel of land located in the NW 1/4 of the NW 1/4 of Section 5, T30N-R18W, Town of Richmond, St. Croix County, Wisconsin. Raymond explained the procedure and rules of the hearing. Bernie L'Allier, daughter of Phillip & Patricia LaVenture, 1035 Hwy. "64", told the committee members that they want to rezone a strip that is 350 ft. deep with 1320 ft. of highway frontage. There is one existing business on the property, with an additional business being proposed. The area requested to be rezoned would encompass both businesses. There was discussion by the committee on an existing house south of the proposed rezoning area, and how the new highway right-of-way will affect the proposed strip they want rezoned. Ms. L'Allier told the committee that they have no knowledge that the new road construction will affect the proposed area, but that they have been told that a frontage road may be constructed which would possibly provide access to the businesses. John Ohman, member of the Board of Directors for the Rod & Gun Club which adjoins the LaVenture property, spoke in favor of the rezoning. Chairman Raymond inquired as to whether the property had been in the moratorium area established by the county. The moratorium has now expired. Warren Bader, Town Chairman, said that none of Richmond Township had been placed in the moratorium. There was discussion on whether changes in the existing business were anticipated, and Ms. L'Allier told the committee that no changes are planned. Chairman Raymond called for those speaking in favor of the rezoning. Warren Bader said that the town supports the rezoning, and feels that the location and the use indicate the need for commercial zoning. No one spoke in opposition of the request. The committee discussed existing on site parking, and that a new site has been identified for the septic system for the new business. The staff recommendation supports the rezoning request, however recommends postponing a final decision until clarification on the new road location and how it could affect the area requested to be rezoned has been received. Jenkins told the committee members that if the rezoning is approved a special exception permit will be needed for the proposed business. She and committee members reiterated the total process to achieve the LaVenture's goal. Chairman Raymond called for further comments or questions, and when none were received, took a motion from Hense and a second from Jensen to close the hearing. Motion carried. A motion was made by Luckey to postpone a decision on the rezoning request of Patricia & Phillip LaVenture for receipt of the new highway route and a decision on how it will affect the LaVenture property. The motion was seconded by Hense. Motion carried. When the information has been received by staff, the matter will be placed on the next committee agenda. A motion was made by Hense and seconded bV Jensen to adjourn. Motion carried. The hearing was adjourned at 8:10 p.m. Ae-C-O-e- ()� '-• Gerald Larson, Secretary AM66Y616nkinS, Recorder
