Communications:  None

Review and possible approval of single family zoning districts and options for accessory buildings:  CPZ Department staff and Liebman updated the CPZ Committee on the recent meeting and discussions.  A map showing the locations where permits were issued with affidavits was shown to the CPZ Committee.  Working toward a plan to make them conforming.  Discussed shoreland zoning.  Discussed possibly developing a new single family residential district.

Vaillancourt and Netzinger commented on this agenda item.

Motion by Nobs/Halfen to approve allowing staff to continue exploration of options/concepts for single family districts and accessory buildings.  Motion carried, all in favor.

 Discussion of options for nutrient management training:  CPZ Department staff discussed options for nutrient management training in the county and possibly using money out of the $100,000 county cost-sharing fund and/or using DATCP’s SEG funds.  Copies of “Nutrient Management Options for Sauk County Producers-2014 Cropping Season” and “Nutrient Management Plan Development Costs in Sauk County” were provided to the Committee.  It was noted that everyone will need to have a nutrient management plan by December 31, 2015, even if they are not in the Farmland Preservation Program.  If the county goes after anyone, 70 percent cost sharing is required to be offered.  Need to help farmers realize the benefits of preparing their own plans.  Recommended to include the nutrient management plan requirement in lease agreements.  Suggested possibly purchasing county surplus computers and installing Snap Plus on them for the farmers.  DATCP staff may assist with teaching classes.

 Review and possible approval of Sauk County Health Care Center cropland rental bids:  Three bids were received as follows: James Kruschke-$200/acre, Reid Broughton-$168/acre, David Roecker-$128.50/acre. There are 12 acres of cropland for rent in 2014.  Motion by Polivka/Nobs to approve the bid from James Kruschke at $200/acre.  Motion carried, all in favor.  This does not need to go to County Board.

 Approval of fee schedule:   A fee schedule for septic permits, land use fees, and land division reviews were presented to the CPZ Committee.  These would be effective immediately, and the fees will be reviewed during with the next budget process.  The reason for the updated fee schedule was to make the fees more consistent and easier for CPZ Department staff and public to interpret.  Motion by Halfen/Nobs to approve the fee schedule as presented.  Motion carried, all in favor.
