John E. Jensen

Jefferson County Treasurer

Mrs. Turner moved that the minutes of the August 11, 1998 meeting be approved as corrected. Seconded and carried.

County Clerk Barbara A. Frank read a letter addressed to Board Chairman Wilson from the State Department of Health and Family Services, Office of Program Review and Audit, advising that Jefferson County's 1997 Single Audit has been completed, the findings have been reviewed and result in no additional funds due to or from programs administered by state agencies.

The letter was ordered received and placed on file.

The County Clerk reported that she has received a Notice of Claim from Attorney Robert Marchant filed on behalf of a minor, alleging he was the victim of an assault while in a foster care placement made through Jefferson County.

The communication was referred to the Corporation Counsel.

County Clerk Frank read a Notice of Public Hearing for September 17, 1998 from the Zoning Committee.

The notice was ordered received and placed on file.

The floor was opened for Public Comment.

The following persons spoke regarding the proposed Jefferson County Land Use Plan: Dennis Bries and Weenonah Brattset.

The regular order of business was resumed.

Joseph Nehmer, Director of the Emergency Management/Parks Department, presented the annual report for that department.

Our office continues to meet our Plan of Work Agreement with both the state and federal government. The agreement includes the areas of plan development and operations, training, exercising, public education/emergency information, program administration, and local program initiatives.

We continue to work with both the planning and public information requirements of the Federal Emergency Planning and Community Right to Know Act. This legislation brings together government at all levels, business and community leaders, environmental and other public interest organizations, and individual citizens to help prepare for hazardous materials emergencies and manage chemical risks. We deal with 142 reporting facilities and 138 planning facilities.

Our Blackhawk Island Flood Mitigation Program continues. To date we have acquired 39 structures on 25 different properties. We recently received an additional $391,282.00 in grant funding for the program. We also applied for and received a $7,433.00 flood mitigation planning grant. Completion of this plan will make us eligible for additional mitigation dollars which could be used in every flood prone area of the county.

We have been communicating with Rock County about the Indianford Dam. There continues to be a controversy about the issue of repairing versus removing the dam. The two counties have asked the University of Wisconsin-Extension to assist in the decision making process.

We are nearing completion of our park site feasibility study. Landscape Architect Margaret Burlingham identified and analyzed approximately 35 sites in the county for potential park purposes. That list has been narrowed down to 6 priority sites. This feasibility study was undertaken as a result of the findings in the Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan that Jefferson County lacks sufficient county park acreage.

The Korth Farm on the shores of Rock Lake was identified in the park site feasibility study as one of the six finalists. This property is the only one that is currently for sale. We have received two independent appraisals on this site. We will have these appraisals reviewed by a Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources review appraiser. Negotiations are currently underway with Mr. Korth.

We have secured a long term easement on an abandoned railroad corridor with the Wisconsin Department of Transportation to extend our popular Glacial River Trail from Koshkonong Lake Road to the Rock County line. We applied for grant funding from the Wisconsin Department of Transportation and Wisconsin Department of Natural resources to help us complete this trail extension. Notification has just been received informing us that we have not been successful in receiving alternate funding. Our plans are to hire an engineering firm and begin the construction process as soon as possible with our own funds.

Six different grant applications under the Statewide Multi-Modal Improvement Program were submitted to the Wisconsin Department of Transportation. These applications were targeted at priorities identified in our Jefferson County Bikeway/Pedestrianway Plan. The Wisconsin Department of Transportation has informed us that two of our applications will qualify for second tier funding. These applications will qualify for 80% funding beginning in calendar year 1999.

Our thanks to the Jefferson County Land Conservation Department and the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources for assisting us in establishing an oak savannah at Carlin Weld County Park. The old prairie area of the park was burned and 150 bur oak trees were planted.

The Jefferson County Sheriff's Department has been very helpful during the past year in helping us address illegal activity in our county parks. Their increased presence has already resulted in positive changes at several of our county parks.

7.5 miles of snowmobile trails were added to our public snowmobile trail system. This brings our total to 133.1 miles of trail. Grant funds for maintaining these trails have increased from $150.00 to $200.00 per mile.

Mr. Thomsen moved that the report be accepted, placed on file, and printed in the minutes. Seconded and carried.

Mark Watkins, Head of the Jefferson County Land Conservation Department, presented the annual report for that department for 1997.

STATE LAND AND WATER CONSERVATION BOARD APPROVES ROCK LAKE WATERSHED PLAN

On December 3, 1997, the Nonpoint Source Control Plan for the Rock Lake Priority Lake Project was approved by the State Land and Water Conservation Board. This ends the two-year planning phase for the Lake Project. We are now entering the implementation phase of the project. Typically, during implementation we can offer 50% to 70% cost sharing on Best Management Practices (BMPs) from a DNR state grant. During the 1998 year we will be signing cost share agreements with those landowners in the watershed that would benefit from conservation practices on their farms. The overall outcome of the program is to maintain and improve the water quality of Rock Lake and its surrounding watershed.

TROPHY TREES HONORED

Some of the grandest oak trees in the County were recognized in the Land Conservation Department's first annual "BIG TREE CONTEST". In conjunction with our annual tree seedling sale to promote reforestation, the LCD was on the lookout for some of the County's largest trees. Tree entries were scored using a point system formula that gives a point for each inch of circumference, a point for every foot of height and a quarter point for every foot of crown spread. Winning champion tree entries are as follows: Greatest Circumference - Bur Oak - 13.5' - Woodrow Wilson. Greatest Height - White Oak - 96' - Larry Walters. Greatest Crown Spread - Bur Oak - 95' - Norman Lemke. The winners have been turned over to the DNR for recognition in the State's top 10 largest oak trees.

NEW WEAPON AGAINST WEEDS WELCOMED

The Land Conservation Department received a very generous donation from the Watertown chapter of the National Turkey Federation. A 55-gallon powered herbicide sprayer was delivered to the department in the spring of 1997. This equipment will go a long way toward battling weeds and volunteer plants associated with our annual tree seedling sales. The Turkey Federation realizes that with better habitat, much better turkey populations are achievable. The sprayer will be available to Jefferson County residents who wish to use it to control weed populations around their new seedling plantings.

TO THE HONORABLE MEMBERS OF THE JEFFERSON COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS

The Jefferson County Planning and Zoning Committee, having considered petitions to amend the Zoning Ordinance of Jefferson County, filed for public hearing July 16 and August 20, 1998 as required by law pursuant to Wisconsin Statutes, notice thereof having been given, and being duly advised of the wishes of the town boards and persons in the areas affected, hereby makes the following recommendations:

APPROVAL OF PETITIONS 2025A-98, 2026A-98,

2027A-98, 2028A-98, 2029A-98, 2030A-98,

2031A-98 AND 1438A-93-98M

DENIAL OF PETITIONS 1695A-95-98 AND 2032A-98

Petition 1695A-95-98 was filed by Erick Frommgen to create a 1.85 acre lot around an existing home on Concord Center Drive. This is recommended for denial because the site is made up of prime agricultural soils.

Likewise, Petition 2032A-98 filed by Vernon and Barbara Gerber is recommended for denial due to the prevalence of prime ag soils on the site. This petition requested rezoning to allow the creation of a 4.3 acre and a 3.04 acre lot on Navan Road.

An approval under each of these circumstances would be contrary to the goals and objectives of the Jefferson County Agricultural Preservation Plan, the Jefferson County Zoning Ordinance and Chapter 91 of State Statutes.

Dated this Thirty-first Day of August, 1998

Kathleen A. Groskopf, Secretary

Mr. Lehmann moved that the report be accepted by voice vote under suspension of the rules. Seconded and carried.

WHEREAS, the proposed amendments have been given due consideration by the Board of Supervisors in open session,

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED that the Jefferson County Board of Supervisors does amend the Zoning Ordinance of Jefferson County (and accompanying zoning maps) as follows:

FROM RESIDENTIAL R-2 AND AG A-1 TO A-3, RURAL RESIDENTIAL

Rezone 8 acres of Parcels 05-15-02-31 (25.421 Acres), 05-15-02-31-003 (4.96 Acres) and 05-15-02-32 (40 Acres) to create one new residential building site on CTH D in the Town of Hebron. This action is conditioned upon receipt by Zoning of a soil test showing sites for installation of both initial and replacement private sewage systems, and upon approval and recording of a final certified survey map for the lot. The rezoning is further conditioned upon there being a separate driveway to serve the new lot, or a shared drive being split by the proposed lot line. (2025A-98 - Dave Hack)
