Supervisor Jardine wanted to know why some pits have ten year durations, and why some are

I. FIVE JOHNSONS LLC / GARY JOHNSON (Agent) – REZONE F-1 TO C: 0.29-acre parcel (ID #04-
024-2-47-08-11-3-3-02-000-31000), located in NW SW less RR ROW and LESS Hwy & LESS PAR in

located in Section 11, Township 47 North, Range 8 West, Town of Iron River.
Director Kastrosky said Gary Johnson called reporting denial by the Town of Iron River based
upon inconsistency with their Plan and land use map. Kastrosky stated he had advised Mr.
Johnson to talk with the Town and planning commission ahead of time so he would not set
himself up for failure. He did so, however, in the interim some members changed on the Board;
the vote was to deny. No one spoke in support / opposition.
Rick Forsythe (Iron River Planning Commission) stated the area is rural / forested, with nothing
commercial around-- it would be ‘spot zoning’. He said the Johnsons felt they would be able to
sell the property for more if zoning changed—there was no pressing need or plans for a rezone.
Forsythe noted this is in the same area the Vernon’s/Northern Clearing was denied in the recent
past. Kastrosky reminded Mr. Forsythe that if the rezone had been supported, the future land
use plan would be required to change the map. No one spoke in support / opposition.

Ralph Frostman again stated he has a problem with a time limit on the pit. He noted he has
approximately 20 acres open at one time and they reclaim areas as they use them; it is zoned
Industrial. Miller believed it was important to place durations on mines as changes can occur
over time. Following discussion, a 20-year duration was decided upon; it was noted the Town did
not place a duration on their approval. Motion by Miller / Maki to approve this request for a
twenty (20) year duration; carried 4 yes / 0 no.

Kastrosky noted all activities ( i.e. washing, screening, broadened uses for gravel pits) except for
redi-mix plants which would require a separate permit, are considered to be included in non-
metallic mine permits. Forsythe said some of his permits have been approved for ten years, a
few from the 1980s are lifetime, and he would be happy with a 20-year approval. He also said
the nearest neighbor is a couple miles away with one hunting cabin a bit closer. Motion by Maki

AGENDA REVIEW / ALTERATION:
J. WAYNE NELSON HOME-BASED BUSINESS (Contractor Equipment, Material Storage /
Maintenance : Wayne Nelson reported he has met on site w/ property owners as the Zoning
Committee requested, they were able to walk the site; he has consolidated items on the
property; has two semi-loads delivered to Chicago Iron; there are some tires yet to be dealt with;
there are some things which they did not reach agreement on [he & the neighbors].
Bill Bussey, attorney for Eagle Bluff property owners’ group (Stewart Gregg, John Lindell, Gary
Madson) presented a brief conditional use permit history (from 1991 to date) and reminded the
Committee of their [January 20, 2011] decision to deny the request presented at that time and
for Mr. Nelson to meet w/ property owners to attempt to work out a solution within 90 days and
report back to the Zoning Committee. Bussey presented copies of letters from John Lindell
Minutes: Bayfield County Planning / Zoning Public Hearing / Meeting
Page 6 of 9
[letters were unsigned / undated and addressed to the Bayfield [Town] Plan Commission and
Town Board] and a March 31, 2011 letter [unsigned; addressed to Eagle Bluff neighbors] from
Stewart Gregg, President; John Lindell, Vice President, and Gary Madson, Secretary. These
documents had not previously been received by Bayfield County Planning / Zoning Dept.
Bussey reported the neighbors and Nelson met on several occasions; some agreements were
reached but not all. They agreed that the location / storage site will be staked and will be no
more than ½ acre in size; berming is to be increased; a new location will be sought to relocate
the storage materials within a two (2) year period. They also agreed they would not oppose the
current special use application [home-based business] if Nelson ultimately moved his operation
elsewhere and agreed to complete certain actions to mitigate the adverse effects of his
operation. Bussey also reported that there are primary issues which remain unresolved: 1)
Request that revised permit be conditioned to a list of allowed equipment as he has had for the
past 20 years, rather than ‘types of equipment’. 2) Request the proposed special use permit be
time-limited. 3) Request condition of issuance be voiding of existing permit.
Bussey noted the Town has agreed to assist in finding Nelson a new location and the Town Board
also placed conditions of approval as follows: 1) Existing permit (1991) is terminated upon
approval of the new permit. 2) New special use permit will expire in two years from date of
approval. 3) Designated storage area permit-area-perimeter, as outlined on applicant’s
attached map, will be staked out to define the boundary and will be no larger than 0 .5-acre in
size. 4) Additional and/or higher berming will be done by the applicant to better obscure the
storage area from the road. Bussey added his clients are OK with these and feel in light of the
history, two years is an adequate condition in this residential area.
Director Kastrosky questioned the interpretation of the two-year sunset condition. The
application is for a home-based business which also allows for a home office plus storage. He
asked if the intent of the property owners and the Town is to also eliminate the home office in
two years. He needs to be able to operate an office, but ‘material storage’ is the issue.
Jack Beagan (Planning Commission Chairman) stated the ‘sunset’ is intended to be an attempt
for Mr. Nelson to find other storage. The Planning Commission and Town Board are committed
to work w/ him in finding another location. He said the long-term plan is future residences and
the storage is not consistent with that. Bussey said the 2-year sunset clause is for the original ½-
acre.
Wayne Nelson, ‘Rebuttal’: He said he has utilized the original permit; they just want him ‘out of
the area’; goal was to make the property owners happy. Kastrosky reported on a file letter from
Dave Lee (then Zoning Administrator) who is on record making it clear a home-based business
should be allowed, it was ‘spelled out’.
Chairman Rondeau stated they need to decide if they are enforcing the 1991 permit. Miller said
Nelson is working towards compliance by moving the location to the ‘current new site’.
Kastrosky reminded the Committee they denied the last request and gave direction of 90 days to
attempt settlement/agreement and as that 1991 permit has been denied, what is before them is
Minutes: Bayfield County Planning / Zoning Public Hearing / Meeting
Page 7 of 9
to consider the home-based business including the 0.5-acre new location as proposed, and to
deal w/ the sunset clause.
Bussey said his clients’ position for the special use is for it to expire in two years from the date of
approval, unless denied by the Zoning Committee; to make good-faith efforts in proceeding; and
to terminate this if Nelson does not find a location.
Jardine said he does not like the term. Kastrosky said they are not eliminating it but giving two
years to find a new place. He also said part of ‘land use’ is to reduce conflicts which is not easy
but a decision must be made.
Motion by Miller to terminate the 1991 permit; adopt a new permit for the home-based
business subsequent to the new ½-acre for equipment, which is to be confined to functional
material and functional equipment and machinery, but not turn it into a junk yard. Have “no
sunset clause”; continue to monitor; review in two years to see if in compliance. Allow until
June 15, 2011 to place equipment unto the ½-acre and to increase additional, higher berming.
Motion seconded by Jardine; carried 4 yes / 0 no.
K. JEREMY / KELLIANN CLAPERO SPECIAL USE REQUEST – Child Care / Day Care Facility (existing)
on 1.25 +/- acre parcel (04-002-2-48-05-24-1 05-001-10000) Govt Lot 1-2, Section 24, Township
48 N, Range 5 W, Town of Barksdale.
Kelliann Clapero reported she has been open as a ‘certified’ daycare center since 2008 and
became a ‘licensed’ daycare last summer. She worked with the County Health Dept. and was
told nothing else was needed, therefore, did not know she was to obtain a permit from Zoning.
She said she has set specific daycare drop-off and pick-up times because of her driveway/parking
situation and is on a busy highway. Motion by Miller / Maki to approve. File Report: The Town
approved; it is consistent w/ their land use plan. Motion carried, 4 yes / 0 no.
L. DONALD DYMESICH/ERICK DYMESICH SPECIAL USE REQUEST Home-Based Business (Dried
food goods store) on 40-acre parcel (#04-032-2-46-06-08-3 04-000-10000) in SE ¼ of SW ¼

Applicant was not present. Kastrosky reported the Town approved, however, did not check the
form if it was reviewed for compatibility w/ their land use plan. Mike Furtak said there is a large
pole building with a small portion used as a residence. They would like to sell dry goods/food
mostly for convenience of the ‘locals’. Motion by Maki / Jardine to approve. Motion carried 4
yes / 0 no.
M. DAVID STRZOK SPECIAL USE REQUEST – Hobby Farm Extension (8 Beef Cattle / 24 Chickens):
6.087-acre parcel (#04-008-2-49-04-05-1 00-145-6000) in Govt Lot 1, Lots 9-18, Chequamegon
Springs, Section 5, Township 49 N, Range 4 W, Town of Bayview.
Applicant was not present. Harold Maki stated having cattle on 1.50 acres on the lakeside of a
curve on Hwy. 13 is a good idea. Kastrosky reported the Town did not approve the cattle at that
Minutes: Bayfield County Planning / Zoning Public Hearing / Meeting
Page 8 of 9
location, only up to 24 chickens. Motion by Jardine / Maki to approve the special use for up to
24 chickens, no cattle. Discussion: Grant Scholen (neighbor) stated he supports the decision for
chickens but no cattle (due to concern about manure odor). Motion carried 4 yes / 0 no.
N. KARL KASTROSKY SPECIAL USE REQUEST – Home-Based Business (restore cars, boats, etc.) on
9.0-acre parcel (#04-012-2-43-07-20-2 04-000-20000), SE ¼, NW ¼, Section 20, Township 43 N,
Range 7 W, Town of Cable.
Request was approved by the Town as compatible w/ their comp plan; they support home-based
business; approval is contingent upon no more than three (3) inoperable or unlicensed vehicles,
excluding personal vehicles, parked in Applicant’s yard at one time. Motion by Jardine / Maki to
approve with condition that there be no more than three (3) inoperable or unlicensed vehicles,
excluding personal vehicles, parked in applicant’s yard at one time. Carried 4 yes / 0 no.
11. OTHER BUSINESS:
O. DISCUSSION / POSSIBLE ACTION REGARDING WAIVING EIA FOR COUNTY GRAVEL PIT
NAMAKAGON:
Kastrosky said the Ordinance requires an Environmental Impact Analysis if in a shoreland zone.
The existing pit is separated by two county roads. The DNR waived their EIS (Environmental
Impact Study) based on site conditions. He said the Zoning Committee can also waive this, in
writing, for next month’s meeting, if desired. Furtak explained the location/site on a hill, plans
to use the gravel, cut/slope the hill, and close the pit. He said the County then plans to sell at
least three lake lots. Motion by Maki / Jardine to waive the EIA for this pit; carried 4 yes / 0 no.
P. DISCUSSION / POSSIBLE ACTION RE SECRETARIAL POSITION: Kastrosky discussed Marilyn
Jaeger’s retirement *April 29, 2011+ noting he has been advocating for filling the position but has
not gotten an answer. He reported the Zoning Dept. already lost one field position with Travis
going to Land Conservation; the busy season has started and Marilyn issues all the land use and
sanitary permits, someone is needed to take the Zoning Committee minutes. Kastrosky also said
the position could possibly be less hours in the winter months, and more when busy, but the
Dept. needs this position.
Q. DISCUSSION / POSSIBLE ACTION - COMP PLANNING: Kastrosky said we are in good standing
w/ the Dept. of Admin.; still not ready to close this out with SEH; in December there will be a
review; we have withheld money until complete; there has been no word from them. The
Committee felt Karl should check in with them. The Committee also had questions why SEH was
hired by the County Hwy. Dept for a gravel pit in Namakagon when there have been problems w/
them.
R. DISCUSSION / POSSIBLE ACTION - NR115: Kastrosky reported / updated the Committee; he is
unsure what will happen w/ the Governor’s / Secretary’s plans; there are recommendations from
the County Code Administrators w/ solutions to problems and they are willing to listen. He noted
per diems and mileage has been paid to the County for his expenses as well as a $5000 grant.
Minutes: Bayfield County Planning / Zoning Public Hearing / Meeting
Page 9 of 9
S. LINE ITEM TRANSFER LEGAL EXPENSES: Kastrosky stated he has spoken to Mark Abeles-Allison
regarding Zoning’s legal budget expense being ‘nearly spent’. Mark said possibly $5,000 can be
transferred from the contingency fund back to ‘legal’.
T. CFS WRIT OF CERTIORARI/LEGAL ISSUES: Kastrosky said the group Citizens for Responsible Land
Use wants to file a motion to intervene. He asked the Committee about intervening and said if
CFS/Shadow Wood wants to testify, then they should ‘foot the bill’. The Committee agreed and
said this didn’t come to a vote at the County Board level. It was noted the Judge’s upcoming
decision was delayed for more information; and there will be a substitute judge for the hearing.
12. MONTHLY REPORT: No monthly report was presented.
13. BUDGET / REVENUE: Kastrosky reported the mitigation database is complete.
14. ADJOURNMENT: At 6:15 PM.
