Town of Springfield Rezonements The following rezoning hearings were scheduled: Town of Stanton -Neal Krumm-Nov 4, 1998 at 7:00 p.m.- Stanton Town Hall. Town of Erin Prairie -Dennis Emmert- October 29, 1998 at 7:00 p.m. -Erin Prairie Town Hall. Town of Rush River -Richard D and Joan M Walton -October 21, 1998 at 7:00 p.m. -Rush River Town Hall. The above rezonements will be viewed on October 13, 1998. Hearings Michael Cody, 1820 110th Street, New Richmond requested a variance on Section 17.15 (2), that has a one acre minimum lot size. The property is located in the Town of Star Prairie, Lot 1 CSM 8/2137. Staff recommends a denial as language of ordinance allows for the granting of a variance when an unnecessary hardship defines that no feasible use can be made of the lot without a variance. Motion by Hense, seconded by Larson to close hearing. Discussion. Motion by Hense, seconded by Raymond to table until next month. Motion to table carried. Committee will view boundary lines and septic on October 13th. Pat Yuengst, applicant not owner, 563 Lemon Street North, Hudson, also requested a variance on Section 18.16(D)(6), for maximum grade for road construction of 10%. The property is located in the Town of Hudson, Lot 7, Cherry Hills. The staff recommended the variance be denied as unnecessary hardship not shown. Motion by Hense, seconded by Larson hearing closed. Discussion. Motion by Luckey, seconded by Hense to deny variance as no unnecessary hardship found. Motion to deny carried. Stronach/Yuengst may proceed, providing the ordinance standard that allows a maximum grade of 10% for joint access construction is met. Fee Structure Zoning Specialist Jim Thompson discussed fee structure increase. The 1999 budget reflects increased fees. Motion by Larson, seconded by Hense to approve fee structure increases recommended by the Zoning staff. Motion carried. Residential Development in Exclusive Ag District Thompson briefed the Committee members concerning past Administrator's interpretation issue of the number of residences allowed in the Exclusive Ag District. Her interpretation was not consistent with past practices. After her departure, the department ran into a conflict with a township. They agreed to honor her interpretation, but would look at it at a later date. Since the agenda was put together, Thompson found a letter dated August 19, 1998 rescinding her first interpretation. The interpretation in that letter is consistent with past practices. Thompson requested no action from the Committee, as this was informational only. Thompson will draft letter to Erin Prairie on this portion of the ordinance. 2 Zoning Director Recruitment The Committee will meet at 9:30 a.m. October 14, 1998 to review new applications for the Zoning Administrator position. Interviews will begin at 10:00 a.m. and continue through the afternoon. Any Other Business Zoning Board of Adjustment Appeals Workshop will be held in Rice Lake. The amount of $404.00 would be transferred from the legal service budget for the fee. Committee member Luckey believes this training is important and requested this be a budget line item in the future. Motion to approve by Hense, seconded by Larson, subject to Finance approval. Motion carried. No other business presented. PARK BUSINESS Park Bills & Invoices Park Director Joe Grant presented a list of the August bills for $10,521.54. Grant requested registration approval for two workshops. A workshop sponsored by Rails to Trails in Appleton for a $30.00 and a two- day workshop sponsored by Wisconsin Park and Recreation Association with a fee of $130.00. In addition, Grant reported the bulk of the September bills were for $8,351.97 from the Highway Department for seal coating. Motion by Hense, seconded by Larson to approve bills. Motion carried. Park Manager's Report Culverts are ordered for Wildwood Trail with work beginning October 12, 1998. Perch Lake Report A meeting was held September 14, 1998 regarding cost sharing for the Perch Lake Project. Grant informed the Committee that the Stewardship Program was funded through the end of the year only. He asked the Committee to lobby Senators and Representatives indicating that we will be looking at that program for the future funding of the Perch Lake Project. The Highway Department believes the estimates for Perch Lake Road to be too low. A draft handout dated September 29, 1998 addressing expenses and revenue for Homestead Parklands on Perch Lake was presented to the Committee. Staff has completed the scrap metal clean up at Perch Lake. Northern States Power Company will be called to disconnect the power to all buildings shortly. The buildings will either be burned or torn down depending what the DNR will allow. Grant has found no evidence of any parties at the site. Troy Park Road There has been no activity on Troy Park Road since the last meeting. A status report was given on the rip - rap project on the St Croix River performed by Timme, Inc. Timme made repairs to the Park Road in May of 1998. Presently there is no access agreement in effect to allow further rip -rap hauling. Grant provided a hand-out of a letter from Heritage Insurance Company. Motion by Hense, seconded by Larson, to send response pending approval of Corporation Counsel. Motion carried. Discussion. It is the position of the Planning, Zoning and Parks Committee they will not support rip -rap hauling on Troy Park Road. PLANNING BUSINESS Planning Bills, Invoices & Revenue Report Committee members reviewed the Planning Department Revenue Report for August. Motion by Luckey, seconded by Larson to approve bills in the amount of $2153.29. Motion carried. Development Management Plan and Ordinance Planning Director Dave Fodroczi held a follow-up meeting in Eau Galle that did not go particularly well. They will meet with St Joseph next Thursday and Kinnickinnic on October 5th• We have received a couple of draft letters from the staff of the Boundary Area Commission. They will send formal comments at a later date. Their comments were generally favorable with concerns for environmental protection and watershed protection in the area of the St Croix River. The Town of Rush River Planning Committee and County Resource Agent Jim Janke conducted a town survey. The results of that survey will be given to Staff at a meeting on October 28, 1998 that Denzer will attend to discuss County Plan. The Planning Department has been working on map revisions with Regional Planning Staff. County Planner reviewed the text changes of Chapter Six with the Steering Committee. A copy of map revisions was provided to the Committee. Discussion. Lower St Croix Riverway Management Plan Luckey reported briefly on her attendance of a Task Force Meeting of the Lower St Croix Riverway Management Plan. She invited staff to copy a handout of what the Task Force actually supports. A Committee is preparing a Watershed Stewardship Statement for the Riverway. Luckey suggests that someone from the Zoning Staff reviews the handout and provide comments. Stillwater Bridge Chairperson Ron Raymond attended a meeting concerning the proposed Stillwater Bridge. The Department of Transportation and National Park Service need to approve the proposal. Raymond reported the bridge is still three to five years away. Land Information Program Frodroczi informed the Committee the GIS software would enhance existing programs. The cost of the GIS system will be ready for the October 13th meeting. Real Property Report Assistant Real Property Lister Sharleen Croes last day was Friday October 2, 1998. A replacement for her will not be obtained until mid November. Changes will be complete by the end of November. Processing of the taxes will begin the first week of December. Luckey questioned Fodroczi on a temporary replacement for Croes. Because of the complexity of the department and the time of year he will not enlist the help of a temporary employee. 4 Parcel Identification Ordinance Register of Deeds Kathleen Walsh reported the new indexing, imaging and receipting system is installed and is being tested. It should be live on November 16, 1998. Walsh presented a resolution to the Committee concerning adoption of a new ordinance requiring the use of parcel identification on all documents.
