Page 6 of 14 ZC Planning and Zoning Public Hearing and Meeting – May 21, 2015

Others present were: Director-Rob Schierman, Jennifer Croonborg-Murphy-AZA, Josh
Rowley-AZA, and Krystal Hudachek - Secretary.
11. Previous Business:
(March A) Bayfield County / Mark Abeles-Allison (Eileen) – animal boarding facility
(tabled 3/19/15; 4/16/15) [a 8.12-acre parcel (Tax ID #15580), described as SE ¼
of the NW ¼ Lying North and West of State Hwy 137, Section 11, Township
47 North, Range 5 West, Town of Eileen, Bayfield County, WI]
Schierman explained this request is to seek approval of the use of a property
and construct an animal boarding facility for the humane society. It has been in
front of the town and in front of this committee multiple times. There is a
gentleman in the audience that submitted a petition with 25 signatures in
opposition. The application is for the use, there is no plot plan, and there were
concerns about the access to the property. Bussey asked if the Town of Eileen
took a position, the answer was, yes they indicated, “we the Town Board of
Eileen recommend disapproval”, they indicated no that they have not reviewed
with comprehensive plan. Reasons for disapproval are location and the town
needs more information on building which was not followed up on from last town
meeting.
Pocernich motioned to suspend rules and allow for public comment.
Bussey seconded. No further discussion. Motion carried.
Ted Kramolis, Chequamegon Humane Association, spoke is support explaining
they are in need of a new shelter, they are unable to build at current location
because of the wetlands and no proper sanitary. They came before the County
Board a few months ago and were offered the 8 acres at the far East part of the
research property. Attended the plan commission meeting and addressed issues.
The new building will be different than the current; the dogs will be housed
indoors except for the time required by the state when they need to be taken for a
walk. At the shelter now, the dogs are allowed to go in and out as they please,
every time a car pulls in the dogs’ bark, it’s loud, this is known. Kramolis was in
contact with Dan Anderson from the DOT for about 6 weeks, and has not heard a
response. There is nothing different about the building plan that was originally
submitted to the Town of Eileen. Dogs will not be walked on Hwy 137 but they will
be walked to the North. Every intention of putting up a clean, neat, appealing
building, it will not be a pole building; there will be trees in front. There is concern
about the taxes that the Town will lose; the fact is that the Humane Society is
providing a service to the Chequamegon area at no cost to tax payers, supporting
the care and health of animals in the area. Jardine asked if the Town gave a
reason why it was denied. Kramolis answered, tax value, property value, and
noise. There is a rifle range off to the side. There is also a new sauna building.
The closest neighbor, Mr. Lightner, is in favor of this. As for the petition that was
passed around, people know that they are only as good as the information that
was provided to the people. Strand asked what type of animals will be housed
there, answer from Kramolis was dogs and cats only. Croonborg-Murphy asked
if there are two new board members on the town board and if the information was
presented to the new members as well, the answer was yes they heard the
Page 7 of 14 ZC Planning and Zoning Public Hearing and Meeting – May 21, 2015
information, they are also on the planning committee and the plan committee did
approve it. Croonborg-Murphy asked if he felt that the two new members
received all the information about the project, Kromolis stated he was not at the
last town meeting. The information is exactly the same that was presented to the
planning committee.
Mark Abeles-Allison, Bayfield County Administrator, stated in late 2014 the
Chequamegon Human Society approached the Executive Committee about
needing a new place for their shelter and inquired about land at the Ag Station.
(Mark submitted a document, see Chequamegon Human document). Bayfield
County works closely with the Human Society. The executive Committee made a
recommendation to the Full Board and the Full Board was enthusiastic about the
idea to donate about 8 acres to the Humane Society. One of the issues is
setbacks; the Humane Society has the building set back as far as allowed on the
property. They worked with the County Surveyor on the driveway, and a row of
trees are going to be planted in the front of the building. There are questions
about the taxability; this is a nonprofit so there are no taxes generated for the
Town of Eileen. At the last executive committee there is talk about selling two
additional parcels which the Town of Eileen would benefit from.
Jardine stated he would like to hear from the person who submitted the petition.
Allen Radosevich, stated he lives in the Town of Eileen and is also on the Town
Board. The petition was dropped off at his house and he does not know who
brought it. It was signed by residents in that area. Main concerns being they are
going to lose taxes on property, and the location of the driveway. That driveway
would have to be placed on the corner; since the round-a-bout was put in there is
double the traffic on Hwy 137. Many are concerned about a safety hazard and
animal nuisance noise. Bussey asked if they are getting tax revenue from it now
and the answer was no. Bussey stated it has been that way for many years.
Rodosevich stated they would rather have a business in there that would be
paying the town back. Pocernich asked to see the petition.
Anne Reader, Town of Eileen resident, spoke in support, stating there was an
overwhelming support from the County, which may have teed off the Town of
Eileen. Reader did not know the whole process that needed to happen. She was
at the plan commission meeting when they stated they would recommend
approval. The Town stated they wanted more information; the Humane
Association was not able to get that information back to the town before their next
meeting. There was someone from Zoning at the last Town meeting and they
stated that they needed an answer, so it was denied due to needing more
information. Reader asks the committee to table this item until they can get more
information to the town. Croonborg-Murphy stated her position at the meeting
was to help the process. This item has been to two different town meetings. She
encouraged the town to make a decision and that there might be a possibility that
the Zoning Committee may go against that recommendation. If the town chose to
deny she asked that they write the reason as to why they denied. Bussey asked
if anyone reviewed to see if this is consistent with land use plan. Croonborg-
Murphy stated she asked during the meeting. The future land use plan was not
with the town board members at the meeting. Mark Abeles-Allison stated there
was talk about the driveway, and he believes it is not at the curve, there is a site
flagged and it was away from the curve farther to the West. Rowley asked if
Page 8 of 14 ZC Planning and Zoning Public Hearing and Meeting – May 21, 2015
there would still be a concern if it was a commercial business generating tax
revenue there. Abeles-Allison stated it was a safety issue on that curve. Rowley
stated this would still be an issue if there was a commercial business there,
Abeles-Allison agreed. Bussey asked to hear from someone that is opposed
and the reasons why. No one spoke. Pocernich stated he is not opposed to this
but he received calls from most people on the petition. The reasons being, land
value, need more tax revenue, and the noise. He spoke with half a dozen if not
more. They are strongly against it. He lives next to one right now, the
Ondossagon School, and he does not have a problem with it. Rondeau closed
public comment.
Bussey motioned to grant the conditional use permit with conditions that
the animals housed at the facility remain inside except that which is required by
state for walking them one at a time to comply with those state regulations. He
understands the concerns but these concerns are going to be there no matter
where this type of building may be located. There is a need for this. As far as the
taxes from what he understands the whole experimental farm has been off the
tax roll for years. Another condition that it be used to house dogs and cats only.
Jardine seconded. Pocernich asked if in the future is there going to be a well or
bathroom at the site. How is the animal waste handled? Reply from audience was
they would install a mound system. Bussey amended motion to include that
animal waste be disposed of like human waste. Jardine stated this is something
that should be questioned. Croonborg-Murphy added she doesn’t know if that
waste can be mixed. Commercial building will dictate how waste is disposed of.
Leave it open to a code compliant system disposal for animal and human waste.
Bussey will adopt that language as the condition. Jardine seconded. Pocernich
asked about lighting. No further discussion. Motion carried 4/1 (Jardine – Yes.
Bussey – Yes. Stand – Yes. Pocernich – No. Rondeau – Yes.)
(March E) Joseph and Sarah Zuelke (Iron River) – hobby farm (crops, sheep, goats,
chickens and cows) (tabled 3/19/15; 4/16/15) [a a 17-acre parcel (Tax ID #35687),
described as N 745’ FRAC NW ¼ of the NW ¼ Section 30, Township 47
North, Range 8 West, Town of Iron River, Bayfield County, WI]
Schierman asked that this be tabled again due to the fact that the Town is in
process of finalizing the junk violation.
Jardine motioned to table. Bussey seconded. No further discussion.
Motion carried.
(April C) Terry and Patricia Pajtash / Tim Oksiuta (Delta) – final plat (preliminary 4/16/15)

Less N 434’ in V.768 P.1048 & Less V.766 P.392, Section 12, Township 46
North, Range 8 West, Town of Delta, Bayfield County, WI]
Schierman stated this was recommended for approval at last meeting, since that
time the layout has not changed and no concerns from neighbors. Bussey asked
if it looks good or if there are any problems with it. Schierman responded there
are no issues or concerns, looking for approval to bring in the final for signatures.
