Re: Request to Change Zoning - Dale Jardine Property, Town of Port Wing
Dear Mr. Strom:
On March 27, 1984, a public hearing was held before the Bayfield County Zoning Comzrittee regarding a request
by the Town Board, Town of Port Wing, to change the zoning of the East 165 feet of the West 465 feet of
the South 700 feet of Government lot 4, Section 21, Township 50 North, Range 8 West, from Fobestry-1 to
Residential-Recreational.use. The property is owned by Dale Jardine.
At the public hearing, the undersigned appeared on behalf of Dr. and,Mrs. Angelo Bolea, adjoining propefty
owners, in opposition of said requested change. The only person speaking in favor of the requested change,
was a member of the Zoning Committee, Mr. Russ McGillivray, whor.made a presentation on behalf of the
property owner, Dale Jardine. I
470
Following the public hearing, the Zoning Committee voted to recommend to the County Board of Supervisors tha
the property be rezofted as requested.
On behalf of Dr. and Mrs. Bolea, we respectfully request that the County Board of Supervisors deny the pro-
posed zoning change. The change is being requested so that the landowner can erect a marine service build-
ing upbn the property in question. As presently zoned, such a use is not permitted, and if the zohiftg were
changed to Residential -Recreational, a marine service building could be erected upon the Zoning Committee
granting a conditional use permit.
We feel that the proposed change should be denied for several reasons:
1) All land surrounding the parcel in question is presently zonf�d Forestry-1. To change the zoning
of this one particular parcel is contrary to the intent and purpose of the Bayfield County Zoning Ordinance.
Effective, orderly and comprehensive zoning cannot be maintained and assured if piecemeal changes are
allowed in the Zoning Ordinance. By allowingihe-proposed change, the Jardine property will be zofied,!
Residential -Recreational and all surrounding property zohed Forestry-1. One of the purposes of creating
zoning districts is to divide the unincorporated areas of Bayfield County into districts within which
the uses of land will be.mutually,corripatible. (see Section 20.01, Bayfield County.Zoning Ordinance).
2) The parcel in question and the surrounding land, is more appropriately zon6d Forestry-1, rather
than Residential -Recreational. The Residential -Recreational district is intended to provide for permanent
or seasonal residential development and associated recreational value. On the other hand, the Fore�§try
district is to provide continuation for forest programs and to permit compatible recreational development.
Permanent residences in this district shall require Town Board approval. From the above definitions, it is
apparent that the primary purpose of Residenti,;�l-Recreational districts is to provide for permanent or
seasonal residential developme#, with associated recreational value. In the area in questions, Dr. and
Mrs. Bblea own the only permanent or seasonal residential dwelling, and no other residences surround the
area in question. Further, the Bolea property consists of'heavy timber stands, including aspen, birch,
and norway pine.
3) The proposed zoning change is also 6bjected to on ecological grounds. Heavier use will affect
wildlife in the area, a6d.till add to the likelihood of pollution. The application submitted by Mr. Jardine
indicates that there is to be a septic tank and disposal field. Further, it is presumed that gas tanks
will be buried in the area. With water exi.�ting due north and south of the property in questions, a high
water table exists, leading to further environmental and ecological concerns.
4) Dr. and Mrs. Bolea also have safety concerns regarding the proposed zoning change. The permit
application on file indicates that the proposed building is to be built due north of a 90 degree turn in
the road. Being a very narrow strip of property, and with the road dead -ending at the Town Park,
congestion will easily occur. This creates problems and concerns for parking, traffic and pedestrians.
Ultimately, in voting upon the proposed change, each Board Member must decide whether or not the proposed
change is in harmony with the intent of the Bayfield County Zoning Ordinance. The preamble of the Zoning
Ordinance provides as follows:
".State of Intent. Pollution of the lakes of Bayfield County and uncontrolled development adversely
affect the public health, safety, convenience and general welfare. The natural beauty of our,,�water
ways and lands is threate5l��d and fish and wildlife habitat 1-6' being impaired. The unplanned use of
our lakes and larids lesses their appeal and impairs the property tax base of our county. The
legislature of Wisconsin has established the need for county action and this need is hereby
recognized in Bayfield County."
It is respectfully requested that the proposed change is in conflict with the intent of the Bayfield County
Zoning Ordinance and for that reason and the reasons cited above, Dr. and'Mrs. Bolea respectfully request
that the proposed change be,,-�,dedied.
Respectfully submitted,
Jack A. Carlson,
Attorney for Dr. and
Mrs. Angela Bolea

Dr. and Mrs. Angela Bolea
Russell McGillivray next addressed the board in regard to the above letter. McGillivray stated he
wished to abstain from the vote on this ordinance as he did present the request for the zoning dhange for
Mr. Jardine. He went on to further statecthat at the present time this area of" land is zoned Forestry -I
however, there is not a forest there, just a few trees, and for years this area has already been used as
a commerbial area. He stated that Mr. Jardine is going to put in a pump station to pump gas for the
boats. Presently a.truck comes in to do this which is not ecologically safe because of spillage.
McGillivray al-§o added that the Town of PortrlWing is in favor of this change.
Diamon spole in favor of this change as did Spears.
The questions was asked on the motion to adopt Ordinance No. 10. Motion carried.
April 17, 1984

Charles Beach, land man in oil and gas from Oklahoma, next gave a presentation to the board. Onenof
his A.�sociates, Randy Barton, spoke first explaining to the board that their client is interested in leasing
the mineral rights the county owns on all the tax deed property in the county's possession that C. E. Beck
did not obtain, north of Highway 2.
He explained the term, of the lease would be 10 years and the compensation would be $1.00,per year per
acre. Mr. Beach and Mr. Barton explained they were not at liberty at this time to givethename.of their
client.
They both explained that this was strictly an oil and gas lease and was not a lease for any other
mineral.
Mr. Beach also questioned the board as to why they have retained the mineral rights on lands they
sell, if they do not intend to utilize those mineral rights.
Mr. Barton esplained that they were interested in 10,000 acres of tax title land that the county owns.
Koval questioned if we could still sell the land if the leases are signed.
Mr. Beach answered that yes, Bayfield County could do anything le,they wish with the land.

Beach explained that if their client does not pay the rental fee on the lease on or before the due
date, the lease is automatically terminated.
Charles Diamon suggested that the D.A. take a look into this Tatter.
Linda Brown stated that this Tatter �;hould have input from the various townships involved also.
Karl Ludzack stated that the county would be foblish not to go along with this.
Fred Jacobson suggested that the county wait to Take a decision on this matter. He was concerned over
the fact that the oil company has control over everything from the terms of the lease to the length of
the lease.
Josephine McGow an stated that Mr. Beach and Mr. Barton should submit their proposals to the D.A. and
come back to the Bayfield County Board Meeting-in:'_M;ay, at which time the board would be better able to
make a decision.
It was moved by Spears and seconded by McGowan that this Tatter be referred to the District Attorney

FROM: Mark M. Rogacki, Executive Director
RE: BINDING ARBITRATION
NOTE: PLEASE READ AT COUNTY BOARD MEETING
On behalf of the Board of Directors and _§taff, I would like to thank all thoseof you who contributed
so much to the success of our recent Capitol Day Rally on Binding Arbitration.
We, of course, realize that not everyone could participate directly. However, everyone contftbuted in their
own way, either through earlier attendance at our Wausau Mobilization Against Binding Arbitration, help in
adoption of county board resolutions, identification of constructive alternative positions and/or direct
contact with Representatives and Senators.
Presently, we are pursuing three major thrusts in relation to this issue:
1. We intend to introduce a repeal measure incorporating -the right to strike
2. We are attempting to secure a Legislative Council Study of Wis. Stats. 111.70 and the related
i,,§sues.
3. We are attempting to secure a hearing on Assembly Bill 793, the School Boards Association bill on
middle ground changes to Wis. Stats. 111-70.
As the sIttiation develops we will keep you informed. Should you have any questions in the interim, please
call or write. (Additionally, would thos-ewho have not already done so, please send us your interview
sheets or a note summarizing your legislator's position'on binding arbitration.) I
JAgain, thanks to each of you --your direct involvement was a significant help to our efforts.
