Discuss/take action on a request for renewal of a conditional use permit for nonmetallic mining by Wieser Concrete in the Industrial, General Rural Flexible and Exclusive Agriculture Districts in Sections 4, 9 and 10, T25N, R16W, Town of Salem, Pierce County, WI. Chairperson Barkla invites Marlin Mears forward. Mr. Mears stated everything is proceeding as it has been for the past few years. He is here to answer any questions anyone has. Staff Report – Andy Pichotta: This is a request for renewal for nonmetallic mining in the Industrial, General Rural and Exclusive Agriculture Districts. Mining operations are primarily located in the Exclusive Agriculture zones. The original conditional use permit was issued in 1992. Reclamation plans and fees have been submitted for pits 1 and 2. Pits 3 and 4 have been issued by DNR Chapter 30 permits which covers reclamation. There are no major changes planned. Review fee calculation is $1,006. Staff contacted Paul Shingledecker, Town Chairman, who previously stated they wanted some say in the renewal process. He indicated that the Town hasn’t received any complaints and supports the permit renewal. At the previous renewal there were issues regarding the Reclamation Plans and Bonds. These issues have been resolved. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends the Land Management Committee renew the conditional use permit with the following conditions: 1. Renewal fee in the amount of $1,006 shall be submitted to the Land Management Department. 2. All required permits shall be kept current with the DNR. 3. The conditional use permit shall be reviewed in 2 years. Holst moves to approve the conditional use permit renewal with conditions #1-3/Sanden seconds. All in favor. Passed.
Discuss/take action on proposed policy regarding Driveway and Access Inspection Methodology and Fee. Pichotta reports: Driveway access inspections are typically initiated by public requests or on-site investigations to verify compliance with the Zoning Code. Typically any issue is in relation to the grade. Often, people attempt to punch in driveways that are in excess of the required 12% maximum. We also require that all driveways be sloped down from the road edge for at least 20 feet from the road edge, so the elevation of the driveway is at least 6 inches below the road at a point 20 feet from the edge of the road. In some cases, staff has been asked to make multiple trips to the same site to evaluate work being completed and has been asked to advise the contractor on compliance strategies. The cost of multiple visits to a single site, as well as challenges by the site owner or contractor to the methodology used to determine slope, have necessitated the need for a policy regarding methodology. The contractor will typically argue that we should take the top point of the driveway and the bottom and average if it’s less than twelve percent that would be fine. What you could have is 7% – 8% in one area and then 15% for another stretch and still have a 12% average and we don’t want that. We want to make sure public health and safety concerns are met and that ambulance and fire trucks can get up someone’s driveway, even in inclement weather. Methodology: Surveying to ascertain slope typically begins at the intersection of an existing road with the newly constructed driveway. Elevations are taken at the following locations: Edge of a gravel road or edge of blacktop road (This will begin our profile at zero distance.) Top of the culvert or top of existing utility box for benchmark reference 20 feet from the road edge to comply with § 240-57.I. 25 feet from the road edge and 25 ft increments of measure along driveway centerline until level ground or garage is reached to have consistency with § 240-57.H. Establish elevations of existing culverts or other features that may affect the driveway construction. Distance from road edge and elevation data is gathered Data is either profiled on-site or in the office. Data is presented either by hand drawn and written or by computer spreadsheets and plotted graphs. Percent slope is determined by taking the rise in elevation over the run in distance and multiplied by 100%. For example, (3 feet rise/25 feet run) x 100% = 12%. Therefore, where the land is over 12%, or over 3 ft rise in every 25 feet, the slope needs to be reduced. Staff will identify where the driveway is over 12% slope, but will not identify how to make improvements. Staff will advise the contractor or landowner options—regrade or variance appeal to Board of Adjustment under § 240-57.H.
