BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT PUBLIC HEARING Tuesday, January 21, 2020 La Crosse County Administrative Center – Basement Auditorium – Room 0430 6:00 p.m. – 6:16 p.m. MEMBERS PRESENT: David Eilertson, Barb Frank, Larry Warzynski MEMBERS EXCUSED: Howard Raymer MEMBERS ABSENT: None OTHERS PRESENT: Dale Hewitt (Reader/Minutes)

CALL TO ORDER David Eilertson, Chair, called the meeting to order at 6:00 p.m. Let the record show that this meeting is called in full compliance with the requirements of the Wisconsin Open Meetings Law. APPEAL NO. 2020-02 Randal J and Judy V Berra, S5107 Creek Rd S, Genoa, WI, 54632, appeals for a variance to retain an existing commercial use building that will lie 5-ft within the required 25-ft side yard setback and will further exceed the 35% lot coverage as the result of a proposed lot split for commercial use buildings in the Commercial District. Property depicted as Lot 1 of a preliminary Certified Survey Map prepared by Chris Fechner of Coulee Region Land Surveyors, LLC, 917 S 4th St, La Crosse, WI, 54601. Currently described as Maryvale Addition Lots 4 and 5, excepting the south 46-ft of Block 1. Tax parcel 11-1434-0. Property address 2600 Ward Ave. Town of Shelby. Appearing in Favor: Judy Berra, S5107 Creek Rd S, Genoa, WI, 54632. I own the building adjacent to this property and there has always been an easement between the two buildings. The proposed easement lines up with the existing driveway. If we move the easement 5-ft more into the parking lot, we are concerned that the driveway entrance could be blocked and create safety concerns. Question Eilertson: Mr. Fechner did the survey for you? Answer Berra: He did. Question Warzynski: I want to make sure I am understanding what you are saying. If the side lot easement was extended from 20-ft to 25-ft, while it satisfies the easement requirement, that would cause traffic flow problems in and out of the parking lot? Answer Berra: The 20-ft takes it to the edge of the driveway now. The 5-ft extends it into the driveway. The new owner could build something or park in the driveway. I’m concerned about an obstructed view. Comment Eilertson: I understand what you are doing to help further your business. Appearing in Opposition: None Correspondence: No correspondence. Question Hewitt: Did the Town of Shelby and the City of La Crosse sign off on the survey? Answer Berra: Yes. We discussed this with the Town of Shelby and they did not require us to meet with them. Question Eilertson: Do you recall who you met with? Answer Berra: It was Jeff Brudos and Tim Candahl. We also met with the Mayor and the City of La Crosse.

Discussion: The Board discussed that they saw no issue with the appeal. MOTION by Warzynski/Frank to Approve the appeal to retain an existing commercial use building that will lie 5-ft within the required 25-ft side yard setback and will further exceed the 35% lot coverage as the result of a proposed lot split for commercial use buildings in the Commercial District. 3 Aye, 0 No Motion carried MOTION by Frank/Warzynski to Adjourn (6:16 pm). 3 Aye, 0 No. Motion carried unanimously.

BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT PUBLIC HEARING Monday, April 20, 2020 La Crosse County Administrative Center – Basement Auditorium – Room 0430 6:00 p.m. – 8:09 p.m. MEMBERS PRESENT: David Eilertson, Barb Frank, Larry Warzynski MEMBERS EXCUSED: Howard Raymer MEMBERS ABSENT: None OTHERS PRESENT: Nathan Sampson (Reader)

Scott Custer (Reader/Minutes) Dale Hewitt (Miscellaneous Covid-19 Activities)

CALL TO ORDER David Eilertson, Chair, called the meeting to order at 6:00 p.m. Let the record show that this meeting is called in full compliance with the requirements of the Wisconsin Open Meetings Law. Comment Eilertson: I ask for a motion to accept the appeals has published. MOTION by Warzynski/Frank to accept the appeals as published. 3 Aye, 0 No. Motion carried unanimously Comment Sampson: By accepting the published legal notice, the legal description and the appeal won’t be read into the record tonight. APPEAL NO. 2020-04 Jason P Lindvig Revocable Trust, W4576 County Rd O, La Crosse, WI, 54601, appeals to retain two detached accessory buildings totaling 1,527 sq. ft. that will exceed the 1,008 sq. ft. area limit for such buildings on a proposed 1.75 acre lot resulting from a lot split. Property described as part of the SW/NE of Section 19, T16N, R6W. Tax parcel 2-84-0. Property address W4634 County Rd O. Town of Barre. Appearing in Favor: Jason Lindvig, W4576 County Rd O, La Crosse, WI, 54601. I bought more property down the road from and am now trying to sell this 1¾ acres. I have too much square footage of garage space and I don’t want to tear down one of the garages. Question Warzynski: The existing buildings are compliant today before the split? Answer Sampson: The limitation on a three acre lot is 1,500 square feet. Right now he is over by 27 square feet, before the split. Comments Lindvig: I want to sell this front half, but keep the back half because of the road on it that accesses my other land. Appearing in Opposition: None Correspondence: On file. MOTION by Warzynski/Frank to Approve the appeal to retain two detached accessory buildings totaling 1,527 sq. ft. that will exceed the 1,008 sq. ft. area limit for such buildings on a proposed 1.75 acre lot resulting from a lot split. 3 Aye, 0 No Motion carried

APPEAL NO. 2020-05 Jeffrey C and Johanna Berg, W3439 County Rd M, La Crosse, WI, 54601, appeals to retain 6 detached accessory buildings (agricultural buildings) totaling 24,527 sq. ft. that will exceed the area limit for such buildings on a 12.44 acre lot resulting from an after-the-fact lot split. Property described as part of the NW/SE of Section 27, T16N, R6W. Tax parcel 2-309-0. Property address W3471 County Rd M. Town of Barre. Appearing in Favor: Attorney Matt Klos, 101 West Oak Street, Sparta, WI 54656. My clients are the Berg’s and I would really like them here, but given Jeff’s health, its not a good idea. The Berg’s had to split their property due to some financial troubles they had. There are six detached accessory buildings on tax parcel 2-309-0. County ordinances only allow for three accessory buildings. These are all farm buildings and one building here (references public hearing map) has been removed. The Berg’s live on the adjacent lot and Jeff’s mother lives on this parcel. Question Eilertson: This all stems from a health issue? Answer Klos: Yes. They had a dairy farm and expanded at a good time. Jeff now has MS and is not doing great. This has drove their finances down. They had to sell off the rest of the farm. They now just have a real small personal hobby thing going on. Comment Sampson: If this property split had occurred at a later date, Mr. Berg could have came in and requested of the Zoning Committee a Rural Accessory Building Ag Waiver. They are typically granted when someone splits the residence and farm buildings out from a larger farm area. They do that at no fee at the Committee level, but since the lot split had already occurred, that’s when the ordinance requires that a variance be applied for. They could have went to the committee before the split occurred and been approved for this. Question Warzynski: Since its after the fact, they can’t? Question Sampson: That’s why it came before the Board of Adjustment. Appearing in Opposition: None Correspondence: Discussion: The Board discussed that they saw no issue with the appeal. MOTION by Frank/Warzynski to Approve the appeal to retain 6 detached accessory buildings (agricultural buildings) totaling 24,527 sq. ft. that will exceed the area limit for such buildings on a 12.44 acre lot resulting from an after-the-fact lot split. 3 Aye, 0 No Motion carried APPEAL NO. 2020-06 Lynn D and Raenell Meyer Revocable Trust, W4187 Schild Rd, West Salem, WI, 54669-9525, appeals to retain a 2,240 sq. ft. detached accessory building that will exceed the 1,008 sq. ft. area limit for such buildings on a proposed 1.63 acre lot resulting from a lot split. Property described as Lot 3 of a proposed Certified Survey Map prepared by Coulee Region Land Surveyors being part of Gov’t Lot 8 and the SE/NE of Section 8, T16N, R6W. Tax parcel 7-216-0. Property address W4187 Schild Rd. Town of Hamilton. Appearing in Favor: Lynn Meyer, W4187 Schild Rd, West Salem, WI, 54669. Nothing has changed about the total property we own. What we did is resurvey the property and moved the lot lines so that when we sold this portion we would have access to our house. Appearing in Favor: Blaine Lee, N6301 Bergum Coulee Road, West Salem, WI 54669. The Town approves of this. The way they are breaking up the property is what we look for.

Property described as part of the NW/SE of Section 1, T16N, R7W. Tax parcel 9-28-6. Property address Maple Ln. Town of Medary. Appearing in Favor: Tom Thompson, W7802 County Road Z, Onalaska, WI 54650. Nathan Hill Road had to have a 50-ft setback in the Highway 16 right-of-way corridor, which is in the City of Onalaska. The 50-ft setback makes the lot almost unbuildable and then there is the 27-ft setback from right-of-way where the Town of Medary takes over on Maple Lane. I’m asking for a 27-ft setback as if all of Maple Lane was in the Town of Medary. The City of Onalaska would approve a 25-ft setback. Question Eilertson: Is this for speculation or is the owner going to live in part of it? Answer Thompson: It’s a two family home. He will either rent it or sell it. Question Eilertson: He’s not going to live in it? Answer Thompson: No. Comments Thompson: I did speak to all of the owners, except one, along with the City of Onalaska and the WI DOT. Appearing in Opposition: Lloyd Hoff, N4664 Maple Lane, Onalaska, WI 54650. Objects to the variance appeal based on lot size, setbacks, building size, septic system requirements and use of the two-family residence. Correspondence: On file. Discussion: The Board discussed that they saw no issue with the appeal. MOTION by Warzynski/Frank to Approve the appeal to construct a proposed two-family residence where the proposed building will partially lie within the required 50-ft setback from the State Rd 16 right of way.

APPEAL NO. 2020-08 Mark P and Trisha A Gaikowski, N5907 County Rd M, West Salem, WI, 54669, permit denied to construct a 28-ft x 28-ft detached accessory garage that will lie within the required 50-ft setback from the County Rd M right of way. Property described as part of the SE/NW of Section 20, T17N, R6W. Tax parcel 7-787-1. Property address N5907 County Rd M. Town of Hamilton. Appearing in Favor: Mark Gaikowski, N5907 County Road M, West Salem, WI 54669. We would like to be a detached garage on our property adjacent to the existing driveway. Our land is mostly slopes of 25% to 30%. The proposed area is between 10% and 15% slopes and located on the 50-ft right-of-way setback. If we didn’t building the setback, we would be in the stepper slopes and wouldn’t be able to building that area. The site allows us to get off of County Road M quickly when needed. If County Road M were to be expand, it would be very difficult to expand in our direction given the slopes. Question Eilertson: If County Road M were to be improved, you’re saying they would go on the other side of the road? Answer Gaikowski: It would seem that way there are slope on our side of the road and the other side is field. Comments Gaikowski: I have spoken to adjacent land owners and they did not have any problems with the project. Question Eilertson: What is your time frame to build this? Answer Gaikowski: I would start as soon as possible. Question Eilertson: Could it be completed within 12 months? Answer Gaikowski: Yes. I have contractors and an Erosion Control Permit ready to go. The Town of Hamilton supported the application as well. Appearing in Favor: Blaine Lee, N6301 Bergum Coulee Road, West Salem, WI 54669. County Road M is not the Town of Hamilton’s, but a County Road. He’s limited to where he can build and this is the most logical and safest place and he is utilizing the same driveway. Any future expansion would go to the other side and not his. Question Eilertson: Are you aware that the Highway Commissioner is opposed to this? Answer Lee: I am not. Comments Lee: I told Mark that the Highway Commissioner will have a say in this because the right-of-way is his jurisdiction. I don’t see why he would oppose because any future expansion is on the other side, he isn’t taking much and he’s using the same driveway. Comments Gaikowski: Our driveway isn’t has steep has the neighbor’s driveway and a smaller right-of-way than ours.. Comments Eilertson: Any comments about Ron Chamberlains correspondence? Comments Sampson: The Highway Commissioner can provide correspondence and weigh-in just like any agency can. It’s up the Board of Adjustment to determine how much weight you place on the correspondence provided. Appearing in Opposition: None Correspondence: On file. Discussion: The Board discussed that they saw no issue with the appeal.

MOTION by Warzynski/Frank to Approve the appeal to construct a 28-ft x 28-ft detached accessory garage that will lie within the required 50-ft setback from the County Rd M right of way. Subject to construction being completed within 12 months of the approval of this appeal. 3 Aye, 0 No Motion carried APPEAL NO. 2020-09 Adam Weissenberger, N1582 Meadow Ridge Rd, La Crosse, WI, 54601-2584, o/b/o Tony D and Heather R Reyerson, N2173 Briarwood Ave, La Crosse, WI, 54601-2497, permit denied for change in use and structural alterations to a detached accessory building that are not defined as repair, maintenance, renovation, or remodeling and exceed 50% of the Fair Market Value of the legal non-conforming building. Property described as Part of Lot 3 of Certified Survey Map No. 10 in Vol. 18 and part of the NW/SW of Section 2, T15N, R6W. Tax parcel 6-35-0. Property address N2216 Clements Rd. Town of Greenfield. Appearing in Favor: Adam Weissenberger, 118 Jennifer Lane, West Salem, WI 54669. We are asking to renovate a portion of the barn into a single-family residence. We want to change use of the building and part of the corner of the building is in the right-of-way. To move the building to a compliant location is not worth the cost to do it. We would like to build a three bedroom home on the south end of the building along with a three car garage, a front porch and the rest is used for storage. Question Eilertson: Are you stating it is encroaching in the setback? Answer Sampson: Let me clarify. Its considered a non-conforming structure because it doesn’t meet the setback from right-of-way. They are proposing to improve the valuation more than 50% of the estimated fair market value of the structure. The modifications are not considered to be general repair under our ordinance. State law says that you can’t limit remodeling based on the 50%. This isn’t remodeling. Question Eilertson: How long will it take for construction. Answer Weissenberger: I have contractors ready to go. Question Eilertson: Within one year? Answer Weissenberger: Yes. Appearing in Opposition: None Correspondence: On file. Discussion: The Board discussed that they saw no issue with the appeal. MOTION by Frank/Warzynski to Approve the appeal for change in use and structural alterations to a detached accessory building that are not defined as repair, maintenance, renovation, or remodeling and exceed 50% of the Fair Market Value of the legal non-conforming building.

Appearing in Favor: Kristine Halverson, W3043 State Rd 16, West Salem, WI, 54669. We currently have a two stall garage. We are having storage issues with some of our items and have a storage unit. We would like to add on to the existing garage to the north, towards Highway 16. We don’t want to go towards the Lake Neshonoc.

6

Question Eilertson: You can’t go along the east side of the house? Answer Halverson: There’s a large downward slope that we’d have to fill and there are a lot of trees we’d have to cut. We would be very close to the lot line on the west side. Question Eilertson: You cant move the driveway to the east? Answer Halverson: No. There is a large hill there. Question Eilertson: What is your time frame for construction? Within 12 months? Answer Halverson: Yes. Appearing in Opposition: None Correspondence: On file.

Appearing in Favor: Charmaine Buelow, N3077 Fox Hollow Dr, La Crosse, WI, 54601. We are asking build a detached garage that is taller than allowed. We would like match the same pitch as our existing house. Due to lot configuration and site features, were are unable to attach the garage to our house. Our neighbors had no concern about the project. Our lot height is unique because nobody can really see how high the roof pitch is. Question Eilertson: It’s 2.33-ft higher than the the house? Answer Buelow: Yes. Question Frank: It’s strictly for aesthetics? Answer Buelow: Yes. Comment Buelow: The covenants on the parcel have expired. Question Warzynski: If the appeal is granted, can you get the construction done in one year? Answer Buelow: Yes. Appearing in Opposition: None Correspondence: No correspondence.
