The owner retains ownership in the property and has fines to pay concerning this issue. The holding tank will be removed after the structure is removed. A new system must be installed.

Motion to approve release by Hense, seconded by Jensen. Motion carried. Fees Sherman presented a Fee Comparison Report, 1999 Revenue Budget Worksheet, Revenue Source and Mission Statement. Sherman had no documented knowledge of when fees had been changed in the past. She also reviewed the impact the fee change, if approved, could have in the budget. She affirmed the proposed fees are not out of line with comparisons. Motion by Hense, seconded by Larson, to allow Sherman to request the County Board modify the ordinance regarding the structure for the changing of fees. Discussion followed concerning the 1999 Department Revenue Budget Worksheet. Zoning New Position Mission Statement presented to Personnel Committee. The request will go to County Board on August 18th. Sherman as stated previously, feels that monitoring by the department will be an asset and without the position tighter controls are not feasible. Riverway Non -Conforming Structures Ordinance Committee member Luckey reported on the Riverway Task Force meeting. It is the position of the Committee that non -conforming structures may be replaced if destroyed by fire, principal residence and garage only. Those existing structures may be repaired by permit only. Sherman will draft a letter with County's recommendations. Comm 83 Sherman introduced Rod Eslinger, Assistant Zoning Administrator to the Committee. A memo dated July 27, 1998 was sent to the Committee prior to the meeting today. The memo is a condensed version of the Comm 83 Rule changes. This is the second draft from the Department of Commerce. The Zoning Department had sent the State its suggestions regarding the changes they would like to see implemented. This modification will affect St. Croix County as a whole. There were questions by the Committee concerning the changes on Comm 83 Rule that were answered by Eslinger. Eslinger felt the biggest changes affect the eastside of the County. St Croix County's concerns are the following sections of the Wisconsin County Code: 83.03(1)(b) Modifications 83.03(2) Retroactivity 83.04 Implementation 83.25(2)(e)(2)c Note Zoning will draft a letter to the State with its concerns on the Comm 83. PARK BUSINESS Park Bills & Invoices Parks Director Joe Grant presented a list of bills for July 1998 totaling $2,948.51 for Park accounts. Snowmobile accounts for July totaled $46.02. Motion by Hense, seconded by Larson to approve bills. Motion carried. Park Manager's Report Park's Director Joe Grant reported camp fees for a non -electrical site are $12.00, while $14.00 covers the electrical sites. He reported meters are running quite high on the campground at this time of year. The staff has been extremely busy this summer, partly due to the overflow from the Osborne and Edgefest Concerts in Somerset . Grant is pleased to report, there had been no problems. He notes he has had to schedule a day off during the week for the summer help in order to have staff present for the busy weekends. Stenciling on the tractor has been completed He was pleased with the outcome. Committee member Jensen questioned Grant on the installation of the SCV valve. Grant>kreported the SCV value has enabled the crew to operate the mower and the deck at the same time. Staff has mowed about half of the Watershed Dam with both tractors and that seemed to work well. Grant is working on the budget but reports completion is slow. Bass bake The Bass Lake Boat Landing has created some problems for the department. The Department of Natural Resources has spent money to improve the landing but needs to have a local sponsor. Chair Raymond wants the resolution of this matter to be resolved with Chuck Christensen from Land Conservation. The resolution must be approved by St Croix County Administrator John Krizek, Corporation Counsel and all parties concerned. Perch Lake Park Plan A meeting with the public on the Perch Lake Park Plan was held on June 23rd and July 15th. Planning, Zoning and Parks Committee made no major changes to the plan.

Troy Park Road At the present time there is no access agreement. The Committee and Parks Director Grant would prefer any material be brought in by barge. We will await further word from YMCA Director John Duntley and neighboring landowners. Dave Hense has received much communication concerning Troy Park Road. Committee Member Dave Hense and St Croix County Administrator John Krizek had some discussion and believe if a large enough bond is set some equipment could be moved. A large bond should have been demanded in the beginning. The Committee will set the rules this time and all parties will be notified. Finance will have final approval on the amount of bond required.
