Planning, Resources & Land Management Department Items:

Prelimnary Plat for Peggy J. Kopmeyer and Lawrence M. Clarke as Owners. Tax Key #07-022-05-005.00 being part of the NE 1/4 of NW 1/4 of section 22, T11N, R22E, in the Town of Port Washington. The proposed CSM shows 2 Lots and 2 outlots. Site Address: 1279 Towhee Trail, Port Washington, WI 53074: Mr. Holschbach noted that since the staff report was first submitted, Mr. Struck has been working with Mr. DennisVan Sluys, the licensed surveyor, who is preparing the plat. The primary environmental corridor and the shoreland area are now included.. Mr. Struck handed out the revised plat and addressed some of the issues in the staff report. This parcel is within 1000 feet of the lake thus included in the shoreland zoning area. This correction was made on the revised plat, shoreland zoning boundary jurisdiction. This has been approved at the town level. All issues have been addressed on the staff report but will need to follow up with the soil borings.

Motion made by Supervisor Hazelwood, seconded by Committee Member Noll to approve the preliminary plat with the conditions as stated in the staff report dated June 9, 2006. Discussion. The site is entirely wooded and in the environmental corridor which most of the lots in that area are. It is also consistent with town zoning. Supervisor Richart questioned a statement that "the proposed preliminary CSM (minor land division) does exceed this recommended residential density in the primary environmental corridor. Therefore, the ELU Committee should consider this in deliberations and conditional approval and/or denial. Mr. Struck stated that SEWRPC has a recommended density for land divisions in the primary environmental corridor, one housing unit per five acres. However the surrounding lots as well as the existing lots already exceed that limit. The entire subdivision exceeds the limits of SEWRPC. It is consistent with the current pattern of development. The subdivision may have been put in before the county had review authority. Again this is a recommended density from SEWRPC and at that time it was an appropriate land division. Mr. Holschbach explained that SEWRPC recommendations are advisory to the county. Further discussion.

Mr. Struck’s recommendation is to approve because it does conform with the existing lot pattern in that area. Additional impact to the environmental corridor will be minimal because it is fragmented by the existing subdivision lots in that area. All members present voting aye. Motion carried. (6-0)

2006 Soil and Water Resource Management Grant Contract: This contract is with Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP) for 2006 as the land and water plan has been completed. $118,340 is awarded for County staff and support, $60,687 cost sharing funds for land owners to utilize to install conservation practices to improve our water quality and prevent soil erosion. There is also a 2005 carryover amount of $58.564.90, that was unspent money but already appropriated to landowners in the county. The total amount is $237,591.90. Mr. Holschbach explained how this grant is requested. Motion made by Supervisor Niehaus, seconded by Supervisor Hazelwood to accept the grant. Discussion. All members present voting aye. Motion carried. (6-0)

Cost Share Payments: Mr. Holschbach explained that this is distribution to the landowners that have already completed their projects. The first one deals with crop damage. Bob Nieman is requesting payment in the amount of $546.69 for abatement. The 2nd request is from Keith Schueller in the amount of $13,124.40 for roof gutters, underground outlet and milk house waste project. This is a cost sharing project.

Motion made by Supervisor Leider, seconded by Supervisor Hazelwood that Supervisor Niehaus be the Ulao Creek Partnership Representative. All members present voting aye. Motion carried. (6-0)

Southeastern Wisconsin Land & Water Conservation Association Dues: Mr. Holschbach explained that the committee had decided not to join the Wisconsin Land and Water Conservation Association (WLWCA). It was decided at a meeting of the SE Wisconsin Land & Water Conservation to request the dues that would have gone to the state organization to now go to the SE organization to promote additional activities. Supervisor Leider stated that the WLWCA was going to be having a retreat in Madison. Each district is to send someone to find out the needs of the county and see what they can do to patch up the problem between the state and the counties.

Mr. Holschbach explained the recommendations - to streamline the permitting process, update the ordinance adopted in 1969 to meet new state and federal regulations, clarify applicability and administrative procedures and to eliminate duplication of items already addressed by local town government. He further explained the issues that arose out of the public hearing and how they have been addressed.

Mr. Holschbach acknowledged Ms. Anderson’s contribution to the revision of this ordinance.

April 27 will be the Public Open House on the floodplain maps in the County Board room.

Supervisor Richart questioned the wording "principal uses and permitted uses". Ms. Anderson stated that it should be principal uses and the wording will be corrected. Also questioned was if land was annexed to a village in 1982 which regulations apply. Ms. Anderson stated that 1982-2006 would be under existing Shoreland Ordinance and anything annexed after this new regulation has been adopted would be covered under that.

Motion made by Supervisor Bock, seconded by Supervisor Richart to approve the proposed revisions of the Shoreland and Floodplain Zoning Ordinance including the word changes and move this on to the County Board for the April 5 meeting. All members present voting aye. Motion carried.

2007 DATCP/DNR NonPoint Source Grant Application: Mr. Holschbach explained that this is the annual grant application due April 15. He would like the authorization to complete the grant application. This includes moneys for staff, staff support and cost-sharing funds for land owners. He would also like to apply for another part of this grant for urban nonpoint source stormwater management project planning and ordinance development. Ozaukee County is under the EPA phase II stormwater regulations, which requires the county to apply for a Wisconsin Pollution Discharge Elimination System Permit. The county needs to make a notice of intent application to apply for this stormwater permit. The DNR has already verbally told him that as part of the permit it will require Ozaukee County to develop and implement a stormwater and erosion control ordinance. The competitive Urban Nonpoint Source Stormwater Management Grant provides funds for stormwater management planning, erosion control and stormwater management ordinance development, public education and outreach.

Motion by Supervisor Leider, seconded by Mr. Noll to approve request to apply for both parts of the Nonpoint Source Grant Application. All members present voting aye. Motion carried.

They had put together a committee of 5 people to look at the pros & cons of building new on this site. This building would replace building 1 & 2 and the food stand which is in adequate, would fulfill the need for public restrooms, the old buildings are in need of constant repairs.

Planning, Resources & Land Management Department Items:

PRLM Staff Present: Department Director, Andy Holschbach, Assistant Director/County Planner, Andrew Struck and Land & Water Coordinator, Jeff Bell.

Request by James L. Chandler, Owner and Chris Watry, Agent for a Zoning Classification Change from Floodplain to Non-floodplain in the Recreational-Residential District and to Relocate the Floodplain Line within the Recreational Residential District in order to Recognize the Special Exception Fill Project. This property is located at 7122 Sauk Trail Beach Drive in the SE ¼ of the NW ¼ of Section 6, T12N, R23E, North 10 ft of Lot 50 and all of lots 51 & 52, Town of Belgium, Parcel Key #02-055-0050.001: Mr. Holschbach explained the project. Mr. Chandler came before the Board of Adjustment several years ago to put fill in the Lake Michigan floodplain to meet the floodplain development standards. He was given a special exception permit for the fill and now the residence is completed and he is before this committee to adjust the floodplain boundary lines. Mr. Holschbach presented the certified survey map showing where the existing floodplain is and his entire residence and buildings are outside of the floodplain. Motion made by Supervisor Bock, seconded by Mr. Noll to approve the request. All members present voting aye. Motion carried.

Preliminary Plat Review for the Kultgen Family Trust, Town of Port Washington, Tax Key #07-017-10-000.00, being part of the NW, SE, SW 1/4 of the SW 1/4, Section 17, T11N, R22E. The proposed CSM shows 3 lots: Now present Richard Kultgen, agent to explain the reasons for the land division (subdivision) and subsequent preliminary plat.. Mr. Struck presented the staff report and recommended for approval based on the conditions specified in the staff report. He hands out three maps showing the soils, the wetlands on the property and the floodplain. The floodplain shown on the preliminary plat is correct according to the current FEMA floodplain maps; however, because it is an approximate Zone A there is no base flood elevation. Therefore, it is not as correct as it could be. The new preliminary floodplain maps, as part of the Floodplain Map Modernization Project for Ozaukee County, do significantly reduce the amount of area on the property in the flood plain. The PRLM Department uses the best available information for determining the floodplain in a Zone A approximate floodplain area and the new preliminary floodplain maps provide this best available information. For future, a condition of approval will be to use the floodplain delineations from the new preliminary floodplain maps on the CSM and that will lift some of the restrictions associated with the floodplain on the property due to the reduced floodplain area. That also changes the shoreland zoning boundary. That would reduce any conflict for potential use in the area taken out of the shoreland zoing and floodplain areas. It is in the shoreland recreational-residential district and the shoreland-wetland district. It is consistent with residential use in the future. Motion made by Supervisor Sopko, seconded by Supervisor Richart to approve the preliminary plat with all the conditions specified in the staff report dated February 21, 2006. Discussion on land & water resource management plan and how this is affected. All members present voting aye. Motion carried.

Approval of Cost-Sharing Funds for Soil and Water Resource Improvement Projects: Mr. Bell explained the concrete manure storage that was built by Joe Mueller, all four practices are installed and he is looking for payment thereof. Mr. Bell handed out a breakdown of the bills. Motion made by Supervisor Bock, seconded by Mr. Noll to approve $25,000.00 in SWRM cost sharing to Joe Mueller for the installation of BMP’s. All members present voting aye. Motion carried.

Draft Ozaukee County Land & Water Resource Management Plan 2006 – 2010: Mr. Holschbach explained the PRLM department is required to have this plan under State Statue, they have had one since the year 1999. The department is under the Chapter 92 requirements. The Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP) provides the county funds and whenever they provide the funds, the expenditures must be identified in the plan. He further explained the timeline for approval and that April 4th is the date when they go before the State Land & Water Board, the draft needs to be to DATCP in early March, so the attorneys can go over it. The Advisory Committee has met several times since October 2005 to review the draft of this plan. At this point Mr. Struck further explained that the Advisory Committee is required by DATCP. DATCP and DNR are the primary reviewers. Ozaukee County is in a unique situation as we are urbanizing and have farm area too. Both these areas need to be addressed as far as it relates to agriculture and natural resource protection. Stormwater and construction site erosion is first and foremost in the plan. There is overlap between the strategies and the department is trying to respond to state and federal requirements that are placed upon us. DATCP establishes sets how the plan is organized and certain items that must be addressed in the plan document.

10:40 AM Mr. Noll excused.

Discussion continues. Plan relies on a number of resources and partners. Incremental goals are continuous. Motion made by Supervisor Bock, seconded by Supervisor Richart to approve the draft Land and Water Resource Management Plan. Vote taken. (3-1) Supervisor Sopko opposed.

Proposed Revisions to Shoreland & Floodplain Zoning Ordinance: Chairperson Leider shared a communication from Rep. Gottlieb with regards to Board of Adjustment requesting changes to NR 115. Mr. Holschbach addressed this issue stating that it was taken to the Board of Adjustment and in their review of the ordinance they were concerned with the preservation of historical structures. The discontinuance of use was addressed by the Board of Adjustment and the letter was sent to Rep. Gottlieb.

Supervisor Bock stated that there should be more stipulated permitting, expediting matters more cleanly and making the department more user- friendly. On the matter of minor land division, it will not exceed state code. Soil borings were discussed. Public Access would be required for subdivisions as defined and required under Chapter 236. Vegetation Management plan not to exceed state requirements.

The committee would like the changes to be incorporated and a final draft with all revisions at the March meeting and then forwarded to the County Board in April. Motion made by Supervisor Bock, seconded by Supervisor Sopko that the committee agrees to remove from the four areas discussed, those being subdivisions more restrictive than Chapter 236, , soil borings, public access more restrictive that State Statues and the requirement of the vegetation management plan. All members present voting aye. Motion carried.

Proposed Revisions to Shoreland & Floodplain Zoning Ordinance: Discussion on the comments from citizens at the public hearing. Concerns with public access, the vegetation management plan and soil borings. PRLM Assistant Director Struck explained a possible misunderstanding at the public hearing regarding the vegetation management plan. This plan is only required when there is a land division, not a single landowner. One of the major concerns was not as much the planting plan as identifying high quality existing habitat. We want to have more confidence that the person knows what they are identifying and putting it on a plan. What the natural habitat is and being able to identify it correctly.

Mr. Holschbach handed out the recommendations by the County and SEWRPC staff based on review of the "public hearing draft" of the ordinance and comments received. Further discussion. Language regarding the Vegetation Management Plan has been altered to not make it mandatory for all land divisions but rather the necessity for a management plan be determined by the Zoning Administrator. The committee suggested control of invasive species not be mandatory but rather have an educational process encouraging the control of invasive’s. Discussion continued on soil borings. Committee suggests language be included that clarifies what the triggers will be to require soil borings by the Zoning Administrator. The criteria used to determine if a soil evaluation is necessary will be whether holding tanks are not allowed at the local level and evaluation of the soils by staff. Supervisor Bock recommended that the definition of a "stipulated permit" be included in the ordinance. Public access requirements on land divisions abutting navigable lakes or streams discussed. Mr. Struck presented a map which shows the navigable lakes and streams. The proposed draft ordinance is consistent with existing County requirements, but exceeds State requirements. The committee suggests that the County not surpass the state regarding the public access requirement, so in Section 7.1203B on page 50 of the Code of Ordinances the words "land divisions" will be changed to "subdivision".

Motion by Supervisor Bock, seconded by Supervisor Richart to approve the recommended changes in the ordinance. All members present voting aye. Motion carried.

Purchase of Vehicle: Mr. Holschbach handed out information on two vehicles that they are considering. There is money budgeted for this purchase. Also looking at purchasing a cap for $985.00 and a bed liner for $175.00. Mr. Meaux suggested that Mr. Holschbach consult with Bob Dreblow or Bill Tackes of the Highway department, as they purchase quite a few vehicles and are adept at getting the best residual value for the trade-ins and the correct vehicle for the needs of the department. Motion made by Supervisor Richart, seconded by Supervisor Bock to approve purchase of a vehicle contingent upon staff discussion and decision, not to exceed $25,000 allowed in the budget. All members present voting aye. Motion carried.

Mr. Swart indicated he would be agreeable to let the South Cedar Beach Road Association work on that portion of the ditch that is on his property to improve drainage on South Cedar Beach Road at the Association’s expense and that all lot stakes would have to be reset at the Association’s expense.

Wisconsin Coastal Management Program Grant: Mr. Holschbach requested authorization to submit a grant application to the Wisconsin Coastal Management Program which will focus on reducing fish passage impediments in Ozaukee County rivers and streams which fragment waterways and wetlands, limiting the biological uses of surface water resources. The goal would be to inventory various stream reaches to identify existing impediments (barriers), evaluate basic stream community data, analyze the impact of each barrier, prioritize barrier removals, and develop a remedial action plan. A consultant would have to perform the majority of the tasks. Mr. Holschbach intends to have the county provide In-Kind contributions such as the GIS mapping. He will be looking at getting other partners involved. Information from the project will be made available to Highway Department, public works departments, conservation organizations, etc.

Motion made by Supervisor Leider, seconded by Supervisor Smith to apply for the Wisconsin Coastal Management Program Grant. Discussion. Vote taken. (3-2). Motion carried. Sopko and Richart opposed.

Revisions to Shoreland and Floodplain zoning Ordinance and Maps: The shoreland zoning map approval process involves FEMA and the DNR signing off on the maps. At this point in time they cannot review the maps. Mr. Holschbach recommends delaying the adoption of the new zoning maps until new floodplain delineations are prepared and approved by DNR and FEMA and proceeding with adopting the new shoreland/floodplain ordinance text. The existing zoning maps would need to be amended to remove the "RR" and "GP" zoning districts. Although an ordinance may be adopted to remove the districts, the maps would not be reprinted.

Motion made by Supervisor Sopko, seconded by Supervisor Smith to adopt the revisions with the appropriate language to reflect the PRLM Department using the older maps until they get DNR and FEMA approval of the new ones. Vote taken. All members present voting aye. Motion carried.

Public Hearing on Shoreland and Floodplain Zoning Ordinance: Date is changed from November 10 to DECEMBER 14, 2005 AT 8:00 PM.

Management, Financial, and Organizational Reports: Mr. Holschbach explained that the majority of revenue for the department is reimbursed at year end. The Gypsy Moth program budgeted $90,000 for aerial treatment which did not occur this year, therefore revenue will be less $90,000.

Mr. Holschbach read a thank you letter he received on the Lions Den Gorge Nature Preserve.
